UNCLE SAM OPENS WAR ON NAUGHTY BOOK IMPORTING* Campaign to Keep Us From Reading Spicy Literature Launched. Bli i it it nl I'rms WASHINGTON, May 12.—Moral standards for literature may be drafted today when importers, customs officials, authors and purists meet with Assistant Secretary ~of the Treasury Andrews to discuss what Is "obscene, lewd or lascivious literature.” Andrews has the task of deciding what foreign publications are fit for American readers. Seizure of a shipment of "Arabian Nights” and Boccaclo’s Decameron by customs officials at New York opened the subject. Importers contend the books are classics, while customs officials hold they are obscene. Andrews said that while every reasonable doubt would be recognized In reviewing books, the customs laws forbidding obscene literature would be obeyed. At present each customs official acts as an individual censor, but under Andrews’ plan there would be a certain standard for books to pass. Andrews is cooperating with postoffice authorities to suppress obscene books, periodicals and pictures. Donnelly declared publication ■obscene matter has tremendously since the war. Treasury and postal officials attributed the increase to a thrill-seeking tendency among youth. GIRL SCOUTS JNVITED Indiana Council Asked to Vacation Here.
