A BANNED SONG.
CENSORS CHANGE MINDS. LONDON. The British Broadcasting Corporation lias relented about the broadcasting of “Paper Doll,” the revived OS-year-old song which its “anti-slush committee" at first refused to permit on the air because the words were not considered to be niep. The latest development came when Maurice Winnick’s band in the Home Programme broadcast “Paper Doll,” words and all. It was not an oversight. The seven song censors of Portland Place had changed their tune. Their official spokesman said: “It’s true the song got on the air— I heard it myself. ' It is also true that the words at first were not acceptable. and that now they are accepts able. But there’s a reservation. If tho song gives offence we still have the light to withhold the words.” So far no listener has complained of a blush.” says the “Sunday Dispatch.”
