NEW YORK (UPI)—“You should just see my mail,” said Mrs. Walter Varney Magee, new president of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC). She referred to correspondence coming into her office from both women and men from all parts of the nation concerned about and asking for concerted action on what Mrs.
Magee calls “the proliferation of lurid sex, crime and violence in movies, television, magazines and paperbacks.” And so, because of so many letters, Mrs. Magee has made her major goal for the 11million member federation a campaign to halt the spread of such material, to set the country back on the moral path. “The program came to us,
actually,” said Mrs. Magee. “Women are so concerned about the lowering of our moral standards.” Many, she said, had written of their concern but said that as individuals or part of community groups, they felt helpless in the face of the onslaught. “Our aim is to show the various media they have a responsibility to the public,” she

said. “They can create a monster, or they can be a hand for the good. “I’m not talking about censorship; that’s a legal matter. I am talking about self-regula-tion, which is another matter.” “If the young are fed on violence and crime, they grow up feeling this is the way to get what they want. Beat someone to a pulp. Throw someone off a cliff. Shoot him down. We’re in danger of accepting violence as a way of getting things done.” She continued, “adults can condition children for good . . . we know that taking them to concerts, to museums, to places of worship helps this.
“But if they’re exposed to evil a great deal of the time, they’ll also be influenced to evil.” Mrs. Magee talked of the program of the federation’s 15,000 clubs in the United States in a telephone interview from her Washington, D.C. headquarters. The federation kicked off its campaign this month with coupon inserts in its monthly edition of “Clubwoman” circulated to all members were asked if they wished “to join in the campaign for a cleaner, more moral climate,” said Mrs. Magee. In addition, a “public opinion poll” will ask each member to
see four movies—any four they palatability. “we expect a lot of choose—and report on moral mail from that,” she said. | On the lighter side >: By DICK WEST
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
greatest mistake that anyone in Washington can . make these days is to let it be known that he did not attend the Democratic National Convention. The town is fairly teeming with survivors of tljat engagement and all of them are burning to tell someone of their experiences. Perfect strangers will stop
you on the street and say, “Were you in Chicago?” If you are foolish as to answer “no,” they will pin you to the wall and unload a few horror stories. I must say, however, that there are certain compensations available to those of us who are taking the brunt of the postconvention instant replays. Since the word got around that I was a non-participant,
my social life has escalated tremendously. I find myself in constant demand as a guest at dinner parties ard other affairs where the talk luns to pol .ics. It is a feather in the cap ol any hostess to be able to land at least one guest who missed the convention. She can then sidle up to the other guests and whisper, “See that harassed-looking little man over there in the corner? He wasn’t in Chicago.” I immediately become the center of attention as the other guests draw me aside to describe what happened to Continued on Page 7
