Pornogrpahy Is Big Business In U. S.

By HARRY FERGUSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — During a debate on a censorship bill in the New York state Legislature many years ago the late Jimmy Walker took the floor and opened his speech by saying: “I have never known a girl who was ruined by a book.” Walker was not noted as a profound legal thinker, and if he were alive today he would be surprised at how often the courts hand down decisions agreeing with him. Books that once were smuggled into the United States and sold for prices running as high as 1100 a copy are now on sale in paper back editions for 95 cents. Nobody can say for sure why the public and the courts suddenly have accepted books that have been under ban for years. One theory is that the censors have hurt their own cause and made themselves look ridiculous by taking their eyes off the main target. Diey have been hammering away at too many innocuous novels. John Roeburt in “The Wicked and the Banned” collected a series of, examples. One of them was an attempt in Downey, Calif., to censor the “Tarzan” novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Tarzan lives in the jungle, is a friend of the apes and is a highly moral fellow. But he has living with him a girl named Jane, and the complaint of the Downey censors was that they were living in sin because they weren’t married. The issue was resolved when it developed they had been married, but a long time ago. The ceremony was performed on page 313 of a book published in 1915. Start Legal Battle Such books as “Lady Chatterley’s Lover,” “Lolita,” and Henry Miller’s “Tropic of Cancer” and “Tropic of Capricorn” now circulate widely in the United States.

four letter words. It is likely that none of them would be on sale today except for a legal battle that was waged in New York City some 30 years ago. Customs officials decided James Joyce’s “Ulysses” was an obscene book under the provisions of the tariff laws and could not be admitted to the country. Random House, Inc., a publishing firm, forced a test in Federal District Court “Ulysses” is a difficult book to read. Joyce is anticomma, |ant jlimicolcn and antiperiod. Page after page of his story about life in Dublin flows past unvexed and unhampered by punctuation. Some of Joyce’s prose is so obscure that when he published “Finnegan’s Wake” his admirers put out a “key” designed to decode the book, thereby raising the question of whether the man had written a novel or a cryptogram. But". “Ulysses’: is ’filled with explicit descriptions and discussions TQT sex "dfiort#-’sharp" words, and the prosecutors singled .'them out ass being offensive. That was a mistake because Judge John M. Woolsey held that the book must be considered as a whole and not judged on fragments taken from the text. Turning Point . The Woolsey ddcision admitting “Ulysses’ to the United States was a turning point in the censorship battle. It affects in sotne form or other almost every legal battle over obscenity in literature. “In respect of the recurrent emergence of the theme of sex in the minds of his characters,” the Woolsey decision read, “It must always be remembered

that his locale was Celtic and his season spring ... I do not detect anywhere the leer of the sensualist. I hold, therefore, that it is not pornographic.” There was no trouble assembling witnesses willing to testify Joyce was a literary genius. But victories over censorship also have, been won in defense of shoddy material, and one of them involved H. L. Mencken and his magazine “The American Mercury” in 1926. It threw light on what a magazine editor could and could not get away with. The Boston Watch and Ward Society attempted to keep the Mercury off, the newstands because it contained “Hatrack,” a short story about a small town prostitute. Mencken went to Boston, was arrested for selling a copy of the magazine and immediately won an acquittal in court. But years later he regretted it all. Made Mistake Charles Angoff in his book “H. L. Mencken” quotes the editor as saying in his later life: “My mistake in ‘Hatrack’ was that I didn’t follow my own advice. If you are going to fight the moralists, fight them with something that has high literary value in itself, that you are "not a? hartied of. Fighting for a principle with a piece of inferior goods is sheer foolishness.” Some organizations fight against objectionable material merely in an advisory capacity. The National Office for Decent Literature in Chicago publishes a list of books and magazines it considers unsuitable for young people. It also publishes a list of comic strips of which it approves. Approval is given to almost all the comics which appear in newspapers — Archie. Blondie, Bugs Bunny, Donald Duck, Lone Ranger, Mutt and Jeff, Peanuts, Popeye, Superman, Yogi Bear, etc. The most conspicuous absence on the approved list is

The reasons are. some of the mothers are unable to continue, the amount of bo-s who are wanting to join the Cub Scouts, and with Shaffer resigning as cubmaster because of health reasons. Any persons interested in helping in the Northwest school area should contact the committee chairman, Flovd Reed, or Rvdell personally. The scout council and districts have training programs for cubmasters and den mothers. Rydell informed the parents of the coming Scout-O-Rama Sunday.

Bray Spikes Report Over Governor Race INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— Rumors of a pending announcement by Rep. William G. Bray 3 were spiked today, but the 5 name of State Sen. Earl Land- - grebe of Valparaiso came up as ' a possible addition to a growing ■ list of Republican candidates for governor of Indiana. Bray told UPI that reports he plans to make this weekend an announcement entering the GOP governor race, already crowded with five formal candidates, are “premature.” He said he still is giving “very serious thought” to becoming a candidate but that no decision would be made as early as this weekend. Landgrebe, meanwhile, wrote colleagues and party officials telling them he is thinking about becoming a candidate, sounding them out on possible support. Plans Early Statement Talk of Landgrebe’s ambitions was heard last week around the Indiana Statehouse. He followed this up by mentioning at Westville, 111., last Saturday while appearing at a nonpolitical banauet that he intended to make a definite statement “one way or the other” within a week. Five men already are in the GOP race—Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine, Secretary of State Charles 0. Hendricks, State Treasurer Robert E. Hughes; Columbia City attorney Robert E. Gates, son of former Gov. Ralph F. Gates, and Doxie Moore, former state conservation director. Gates, past commander of the Indiana Department of the American Legion and present Whitley County and 4th District GOP chairman, opened his campaign headquarters here Monday night. Bray said he has “pretty well” given up any intentions of - running for the U.S. Senate, an office he originally was said to be considering. He indicated that. Rep. Donald C. Bruce’s announcement for senator influenced him to drop any such plans this year. Bray Mails Declaration He also disclosed that he already has mailed to the Indiana secretary of state his declaration of candidacy for renomination to Congress from the 7th District, an office he has held since 1951. “It will have to be a clear desire on the part of my party,” Bray said if he runs for governor. Landgrebe is a holdover member of the Indiana Senate and, as such, has nothing to lose by trying for governor. He told friends he felt his strong objections to the tax program enacted by his colleagues in the 1963 Legislature were so widely known that anti-sales tax voters would remember him.

Sinatra Witness Says Story False

By JOSEPH A. ST. AMANT United Press International LOS ANGELES (UPI) — A young rock *n’ roll singer named Dean Torrence today vaulted into stardom of torts at the Frank Sinatra Jr. kidnaping trial as a self - confessed perjurer. The federal government’s case against three men accused of kidnaping young Sinatra was expected to be completed during today’s court session but Torrence was scheduled to return later in the week under a defense subpoena. The sandy-haired singer made two appearances Monday in the 10th day of the trial. He was summoned as a government witness in the morning session and testified he had no prior knowledge of the kidnaping. He told the jury of nine men and three women, however, that defendant Barry Keenan, 23, had been his “best friend.” He also said he knew defendant Joseph Clyde Amsler, 23, but did not know John William Inwin, 42, the third ‘defendant. Recorded “Surf City” Torrence, who said one of his record albums called “Surf City” has sold more than 800,000 copies, testified he lent Kee-

nan about sl,2oo—for living expenses. “He was my best friend and he didn’t have a cent,” said Torrence. After the mid-afternoon Vecess, prosecutor Thomas B, Sheridan advised trial Judge William G. East that Torrence wanted to make “some amendments” in his testimony. Torrence took the stand and startled judge, jurors and attorneys when he said: “I’m afraid I made up some stories.’’ Then he testified that he had lied during his first appearance on the stand and that he did know in advance of the plan to kidnap the 20-year old Sinatra from a Lake Tahoe motel Dec. 8. He denied, however, that he was ever told that the kidnaping was a "publicity stunt” or a “hoax” as defense attorneys have charged. Torrence said he received about $25,000 of the $240,000 ransom that Frank Sinatra Sr. paid for release of his son but returned it to defendant Keenan. He said Keenan gave him the money on Dec. 11, the day young Sinatra was released. Told of Kidnaping Torrence said that Keenan told him last October that he J — —«... —

planned ,to kidnap the young singer. East indicated any perjury action against Torrence would have to await the end of the kidnaping trial. But the judge was obviously upset by the incident and said: “I am conscious of the fact that I’ve had perjury committed in this court room and I’m desperately disturbed about it. It will have to be dealt with later." The judge said he was “gratified” that Torrence decided to come back to the witness stand and tell the “full truth.” Torrence said his conscience bothered him after his earlier testimony and “I thought I better ‘fess up.” Frank Sinatra Sr. and his son will return this week as witnesses under subpoena. The court ordered the father to testify Wednesday and issued a subpoena for the son effective Thursday. Young Sinatra is currently in Europe singing with the Tommy Dorsey band.
