Postal Authorities War
Against Obscene Matter
!
!
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 5.—
(/P)—Recent increase in the flood of
questionable matter offered for trans
mission thru the mails, has led to
further lightening of the routine safe
guards employed in the postal serv
ice for keeping it out and for prose
cution of those violating the federal
statutes in that regard.
Thousands of complaints have
come to the office of the postmaster
general from parents and associations
asking that the department augment
its efforts to protect children from
obscene literature and pictures.
The close surveillance exercised
over the character of matter passing
thru the mails, officials believe, has
affected a material decrease in the
number of dealers in pornographic
matter. Federal courts have dis
couraged the efforts of such dealers
by upholding the postoffice depart
ment in each instance where rulings
excluding obscene matter from the
mails has been challenged.
Foreign dealers, especially since
the war and the return of American
soldiers from Europe, have been ac
tive in endeavoring to dispose of
their products in this country. In
many instances foreign consignments
are intercepted at custom houses.
The trade of these offenders has
been crippled by the postal authori
ties returning to senders letters ad
dressed to all known dealers in ob
scene matter, by confiscating great
quantities of unmailable advertising
circulars and the materials as well,
and by acquainting those attempting
to import such matter with their re
sponsibility and liability to prosecu
tion under the penal provisions of
the laws.
The numerous small magazines, de
pending for their popularity on the
pornographic material in them, are
the source of continual complaint
and the exclusion of many of them
from the mails curtails to a consid
erable extent their widespread circu
lation. These publications have been
responsible for increasing the work
of the postoffice department’s legal
forces. The magazines when ex
cluded from the mails find their way
to newsstands thru other channels.
Rev. Paul Lambert of Maidstone,
England, refused to allow the body of
16 year old Millie Eldridge to be
brought into his church, because she
: had never been baptized.
Although Mrs. Anna. Levering of
St. Paul testified that her husband
spent all his money taking other
women to dances, she was refused
a divorce.

BILL FOR REORGANIZATION
OF FRENCH ARMY SHELVED
PAiRIS, June 5.—(/P)—The bill call
ing for the reorganization of the
French army introduced by General
Nollet during the last hours of the
Herriot government’s tenure of of
fice, has been abandoned by the
Painleve cabinet and has become a
dead issue.
The work of experts at the minis
try of war during the past two years,
it provided for a gradual decrease of
French effectives until the 12 months
military service could be definitely
installed.
Marshal Foch was reported to
have been an opponent of the bill
from the start and his opposition,
parliamentary experts say, was what
finally killed the bill before it was
even reported upon by the army
committee of the chamber.
Until another system is adopted
French military service will remain
at 18 months and the effectives of
the troops in peace time at 618,00U.

A MOVIE CAMERA
UNIVERSAL CITY, Cal., June 5.
—(JP)—Radio control, which has been
used successfully in the operation of
airplanes and battleships, has been
applied to motion picture cameras.
Officials of a film corporation have
