Eric Johnston, presi- dent of the Motion Pictures Association (formerly the Hay's Office) said Hughes' advertising for the movie "The Outlaw" violated all standards of good taste and decency and was bad enough to get him expelled from the association. Hughes, the young millionaire' airplane builder who dabbles in movies on the side, said it was just good business. The bone of contention is a certain low-cut blouse, which when filled with beauteous Miss Russell, created a nationwide sensation Hughes spent $10,000 to make sure it did. He even hired an artist famous for his naked girlie calendars to paint a billboard portrait. The result was a half-nude Miss Russell sprawled on a haystack. That, despite the critics' reviews which said it was a pretty bad movie, was enough to boost box office receipts to record breaking peaks. "I think it's about time people quit trying to tell the American people what they can see, read or listen to," Hughes said. ' The public apparently likes "The Outlaw." In its first week _in Los Angeles, 100,000 people saw it." Maybe the public likes the picture, Johnston said, but the association didn't like the advertising, and would Mr. Hughes kindly appear before the board of directors April 23, so they could either suspend him or kick him out of the association. Hughes said he didn'X know yet if he could make it. He had already carried on a four-year battle with the censors to convince them there wasn't anything indecent about the picture of Miss "Russell in the haystack. The directors couldn't agree. After a thorough study of the pictures in question, they cited six different "objectionable" advertisements. One of these is a featured drawing of the bosomy actress' charms revealed by a neckline cut a good 12 inches below the chin. Captions on the sketches went something like this: "What are. two great reasons for Jane Russell's rise to stardom.?"* Others showed her lolling in the Too Daring, Censors Said, But. . . haystack with the outlaw bending FINE POINTS of Jane Russell's voluptuous figure are captured in artist over her.
