P: In Atlanta, in the city's first test of movie censorship since the Supreme Court's ruling against New York and Ohio censors last year, Loew's Inc. asked an injunction against any future ban on Blackboard Jungle (currently ranking sixth in box office receipts--see above). Loew's also asked the court to rule that Atlanta Censor Mrs. Christine Smith Gilliam acted improperly in banning the film on grounds that it was "immoral, obscene, licentious and will adversely affect the peace, health, morals and good order of the city."
