SCREENING BANNED
GERMAN-PRODUCED NEWSREEL "" .- v ' \ \ ' ANTI-BRITISH PROPAGANDA Rec. 8 p.m. LONDON, Nov. 19. The Times Berlin correspondent says that cinemas in the British sector of Eerlin have been ordered to cease showing the latest issue of the newsreel. “Eye-witness,” produced by a German concern licensed by the Russian authorities. Ostensibly directed against so-called warmongers, the film is a piece of antiBritish arid anti-American propaganda. It opens with the commentator saying that the Soviet Union and “you” (the members of the audience) wanted only peace, but everywhere the war--mongers were at work. There follow “shots” of British troops engaged in training, of United States warships in the Mediterranean, and of United States fighter' aircraft flying over Britain. The climax is a scene—presumably a reproduction of a D Day incident—of British troops landing on beaches.' " Recognise your enemy,” is the icommentator’s closing injunction. t ■
