	Description:	News in Brief: Women Honor Movies. People eat in banquet hall with chandelier. Close shot of award presented to Eric Johnston, President of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). Woman from some women's organization presents award to Johnston on behalf of his whole industry, for "superior and wholesome entertainment." Johnston thanks her for honoring the "Americanism" in Hollywood's pictures (Red Scare overtones...). He goes on to lie, though perhaps not deliberately, saying that wholesomeness and American-ness "are aims that our organization shall always attempt to maintain." (American Family Values, Cold War Scare)
