TELEVISION VIOLENCE
Presbyterian Critical
(N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, Nov. 7. Types of audio-vision were acting against church work, said Mt W. N. Mouat to the Presbyterian General Assembly in Wellington today. Mr Mouat is convener of the audio-visual sub-commit-tee of the Church’s department of information. He said that on Auckland television on Saturday night he had seen three shootings, four clubbings and a couple of stabbings. He also referred to “lurid, sometimes sexual hoardings and paper back books.” Many social clubs showing 16 millimetre religious films had been severely restricted by the Cinematographic Act, under which they had to register as a theatre if they wanted to show a movie of more than 33 minutes. Footba.il clubs and other organisations regularly showed films when and where they liked in and out of season, he said.
