I'm not ready to announce the names as yet. But if critics can't agree on a film, I imagine that millions of Americans will protest that some of the movies are wrongly classified.

ENFORCEMENT "The second difficulty might arise about enforcement of the ratings and the degree of vigor with which they are enforced. I've had assurances from distributors, exhibitors and theater owners all over the country that they will co-operate to fullest. But we'll have to face that hurdle when we come to it. "Another problem is that halfway through next year, only a small percentage of the films will have ratings, since many of those now in release will still be running. We can't go back and rate the films now playing because that would be administratively impossible." Does Valenti think that further excesses in sex and violence might be encouraged by the rating?

The Motion Picture Code of Self-Regulation was de-' signed to head off the pos-I; sibility of government leg- islation born out of a grow-i' ing concern over the in-! crease of sex and violence in recent films. There will be four rating classifications: -i Acceptable for all audiences; Mature audiences, adults and young people; Persons under 16 not admitted, unless accompanied by parent or adult guardian; Persons under 16 not admitted.

THREE AREAS Valenti, here for the festival, feels that the problems will exist in three areas. "This plan is no panacea," he began. "It didn't come down from Mt. Sinai on stone tablets. It's a man-made effort and, therefore, it is flawed.

"But we felt that there is so viable alternative.

We do not want to reshape and reform the content of films, but we do want to describe, honestly and accurately, the nature of the material, so that parents can be guided accordingly.
