Vienna No Longer Gay, Lacks Food as Reds Patrol Ruins

By JACK BELL Times Foreign Correspondent VIENNA, May 29.—Vienna -in she

charred ruins of the 12th century "St. Stephens, Europe's most beautiful cathedral. It was burned by the Nazis just before the Russians drove them out. } They look at the world - famous opera house, which crumbled beneath allied bombs; -at their battered state houses and at their wrecked homes.

To make matters worse no railways, trucks or even horse-drawn vehicles transport food into the city from the farms. This has been true for two years, Half-a- loaf of bread must last a week.

Philippines Now Secure, but Yanks Are Still Dying There

By DON CASWELL United Press Staff Correspondent MANILA, May 26.—The Philip-| pines are secure today, four months! after Gen. Douglas MacArthur's triumphant return to Manila, But the dirty job of mopping up goes on. American soldiers probably will be fighting and dying on these islands as long as the war lasts. American and Filipino control 95 per cent of all the useable ports, towns, airfields, highways and agricultural centers in the islands. ” cruel

BAN SEX PAMPHLET

WASHINGTON, May 29 (U. P.. —The U. 8. court of appeals has ruled that a law enacted 72 years be construed. to mean that moderns must “reduce our treatment of sex "to the standards the supposed interest of ‘a salacious few.” It so ruled in upholding a lower court decision preventing the postmaster general from banning from the mails a pamphlet called’ “pre-

| paring for marriage.”

Paul Popoenoe, the author, and the American institute of family relations of Los Angeles, the publishers, filed suit in district court in- 1943 against an order of Postmaster General Frank C. Walker, based on the old law, revoking mailing privileges for the pamphlet. The appeals court held that “no work on anatomy, ang no dictioncould be sent through the mails, and much of our most respected literature would be barred,” if. the statute were “construed as banning the pamphlet. “The language of the pamphlet is plain but decent,” the c prt said. “There are no ar and enduring standards of what is obscene,” the court continued. “The border line between obscenity and decency changes with the times, with the public taste in literature, and with public attitudes on sex Instruction.”
