Censorship Committee Thrown Out by House

The proposed state commission to censor books and magazines was dealt a sharp setback Thursday when a clerical error was uncovered. The Legislative Commission on State Administration had rejected the measure instead of approving it, as had been reported.

Faulty filing caused the mix-up. A committee member used a favorable report form instead of an adverse one in filing the proposal in the House clerk's office. Another bill to set up a censorship committee was also turned down.

The question of accepting the adverse reports comes up in the House on Monday.
