HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 9 ó Howard Hughes, west coast motion picture producer and industrialist, today issued the following statement concerning his motion picture, "The Outlaw," starring Jane Russell: "As many people are aware, I have produced a motion picture entitled 'The Outlaw', which has been banned and condemned on moral grounds by the National Legion of Decency. "Now finally, after prolonged discussions, lasting more than a year, I have reached an agreement with the Legion of Decency to make certain changes in the picture. "'The Outlaw' has been removed from the Legion's 'C' or 'Condemned' classification and has been placed in the 'B' classification, which is described as 'Morally Objectionable in Part for All'." - 0 -
