Create A Problem

Warsaw, Dec. 4.

A film whose pre-release publicity turned the spotlight on Poland's hooligan problem, is unlikely to be seen again. After a short run of only two days after October 21, it was withdrawn by the au- thorities on the grounds that it was too "negative" in other words, that it failed to indicate what steps should be taken to solve the problem of these rowdy, lawless and even crime-loving youths.
