Mr. and Mra. Louis Crawford, who live in the backwoode near Peral
River, La., are pictured with “Baby Moses,” so named because Mrs.
Crawford first declared he had been left at her door by a dog. But she
admitted, after the baby had been taken by welfare authorities, that
she invented the story bscauss sha did not want her husband to know
she bore the infant. (Associated Press Photo)

Obscene Matter
(Continued From Page One)
started correspondence by ad
dressing “The Letter Club Differ
ent” enclosing his sealed envel
ope with its obscene contents,
marking the enclosure for No. —
—. ‘‘The Letter Club Different”
then forwarded to the person of
the number so designated the
inner letter and contents. In
many instances, rather than con
tinue to cleaT their obscene ex
changes through the headquart
ers of “The Letter Club Differ
ent” the persons invo'rved signed
their own names and following
receipt of the first letter they
< carried on direct correspondence
with the person or persons they
were placed in contact with orig
inally through the ‘‘Letter Club
Different”.
Thousands of obscene corres
pondence club members have al
ready been rounded up by postal
inspectors in every section of the
country and prosecutions are to
follow as rapidly as the individ
ual cases can be worked up for
presentation to Federal grand
juries. The Federal statutes pro
vide a five-year jail sentence or
a five thousand dollar fine, or
both for any person found guilty
of sending obscene matter thru
the mails, and this penalty has
been invoked on many occasions
for the sending of a single letter.
A second form of obscene ring
uncovered by the Posrtal Inspec
tion Service in its drive on the
purveyors of obscene matter are
the magazine letter exchanges
which have for their purpose the
dissemination of obscene litera
ture and photographs and which
are conducted as regular letter
exchanges by the cheaper love
and sex magazines.
A third group which is being
brought to justice by the postal
inspectors are the dealers who
distribute obscene matter direct
ly through advertisements and
Lists purchased from the opera-;
tors of the various obscene cor
responding clubs and other deal-;
ers in this type of objectionable
matter.
Fireworks Took
Place Sat. P. M.
Weather Fold
The Fireworks Display Satur
day night drew large crowds of
people down town early in the
evening to witness the many
beautiful displays.
The weather turned consider
ably colder and many were forc
ed to return to their homes be
fore the completion of the dis
play, but all said that the many
rockets, unusual pyrotechnic
lights and bursting shells were
well worth the trip to see.
The display was donated by
President G. R. Jackson of the
Miners and Merchants bank and
was originally scheduled to be i
shown Dec. 23, then New Year’s'
Eve, but weather interfered both
times. The display finally took
place the evening of Jan. 2nd.
Weather Today
(U. S. Weather Bureau)
Heavy snow, thick blowing
snow made flying impossible over
Seward Peninsula today. Zero
ceiling and visibility were ob
served at Solomon and Nome.
Mostly cloudy weather with
good ceilings were observed in
the central Yukon District and
eastward to Fairbanks. Fair wea
ther was the rule over the Gulf
and Southeastern Alaska.
High pressure was charted ov
er the eastern section of Alaska
and the Yukon Territory while
an intense low pressure area was
charted north of Dutch Harbor.
Barometer readings were falling
rapidly over western Alaska.
Temperatures continue above
the seasonal average in most sec
tions of Alaska and yesterday
Fairbanks recorded the highest
January temperature on record
with 40 degrees above.
It is likely unsettled weather
