In both cities he was flatly denied the use of the video channels. This refusal was based on the assumption that the out spoken producer, who has seen great service in Hollywood, only wanted TV; to aid his fight against the biased censors of the two teeming Southern cities. TO TEST RULING Turned down on all sides, by what theatrical men call un Ameri can thinking, de Rochemont is set to start legal action to test the ruling of such censors who have robbed the Mason Dixon states of many vital messages and great entertainment in which the race is Involved.

He expected pickets and fights and, other disturbances that would lend weight to his argument that such pictures would not be offered below the Mason Dixon line.
