The Olympic games at Los Angeles will be one of the chief attractions. The estimate was made by Cecil Hawley, head of the tourist and road report department of the Texas company. During the past 00 days Hawley has visited every state capital in the country, checking future tourist possibilities and road conditions. The average trip for motorists to the Pacific coast and back will consume about 22 days, and the average expenditure will be $23 per day. Thus Hawley computes that during 1932 cross-country motorists are going to Spend approximately $500,000,000 in the cities and towns and at roadsides along the main highways to the Pacific coast Irish Censors Hard to Please in Love Scenes Dublin.--A boycott of movie theaters here was considered as a iast desperate means of bringing the straight laced Irish film censors to terms. Hollywood producers would go broke in a week if American censors were as hard to please as those here. English agencies, which redistribute most of the movies shown in Ireland, have been trying for years, but to no avail, to convince them there Is such a thing as sex. Nearly 40 per cent of the films sent here last year came back either rejected, or bearing evidence of much scissoring in the spicier sequences. The kisses were removed almost entirely, and even platonlc embracing was shortened considerably. Wr .
