Surviving are his wife, Margaret Film Industry adds new rating tor children under 13 egory used with increased rarity," Valenti and Resnick said in their statement. "Moreover, there have been a number of films in the marketplace over the past several years whose content has placed them somewhat awkwardly beyond the PG and yet not clearly within the the statement said. "It is to repair that apparent vacancy in the rating system that the new category was designed." Robert Selig, president of the Theater Association of California, said his group will support the new PG-13 rating, but said he was relieved the rating was not restrictive.

"There would be no way to police a PG-13 if it were restrictive. The kids don't have school IDs, they don't have drivers' licenses," Selig said. ally can get away with nearly anything short of graphic sex or language. Even Indiana Jones director Steven Spielberg has said he wouldn't want 10-year-olds to view some parts of his film, which stars Harrison Ford as a swashbuckling, comic-book style scourge of evil. traditionally has meant sex or four-letter words pitfalls that kid-oriented movies such as Indiana Jones have stayed away from even while the body counts soared in violent scenes.

Resnick and Valenti acknowledged that the PG, and rating system established in November 1968 no longer could successfully warn parents about such films. "General criticism ot the ratings system has centered on the apparent real-life reduction in ratings to just two, PG and with the category and the cat dren's viewing habits. The rating system is not a surrogate parent, nor should it be," they said. "The objective of the rating system during all of its 16-year life is to give some pre-screening informationsome cautionary warnings, so that parents can form their own judgments about the movie-going of their children Intense criticism of violence in such "action-fantasy" movies as the current Gremlins and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom drew renewed calls this summer from film executives such as Paramount Pictures Chairman Barry Diller for a rating between PG and R. The industry also has been criticized for the tendency of movie-makers to aim for only two tags, PG or since or ratings generally spell box office doom.

In most PG movies, filmmakers usu companying parent or adult guardian. No one under 17 admitted. Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, and Joel Resnick, president of the National Association of Theater Owners, explained the new rating in a joint announcement. They agreed to the change after polling their members over the past several weeks. The new rating, to take effect July 1, will not affect movies already in release and probably won't come into general use until fall.

Valenti and Resnick emphasized that the ratings system which is voluntary for producers and theater owners still places responsibility squarely on the shoulders of parents. "No two youngsters are alike, and only parents are qualified to make personal family judgments about their chil HOLLYWOOD (AP) The film industry, reacting to protests over such violent PG-rated movies as Gremlins, added a new rating Wednesday that cautions parents to give "special guidance" on some movies for children under 13. But the new rating will not require theater owners to bar any youngsters from the film. Instead, the "PG-13" category will fit between the existing PG and to produce this revised rating system: General audiences, all ages admitted.
