He has a quick mind and a keen wit. He was educated at Eton and at Trinity College, Cambridge. He joined the 10th Royal Hussars (the Prince of Wale’s Own) in 1921 He has been mentioned several times for the governorships of South Africa or northern Ireland, but he has stuck to his soldiering. His enthusiastic interest in sports |and an outdoor life was the com- mon ground on which he met and in 1935 married Lady Alice Mon- tagu-Douglas-Scott, 36 - vear - old daughter of a wealthy old Scotch | family.

But, Mr. Boone records me Department ultimately evaded nny‘ NUDIST PAPERS HAVE TROUBLES Post Oflice-b;parlment Has Not Rescinded Ban But Exceptions Taken (Continued from Page One) which cannot go through the mails. We called up the Postal Depart- ment to learn whether the offic- ials had taken a new slant on the subject. It seems they have not. Mr. Boone looks on the whole thing as a sort of war between nudes | and prudes. Nudists, he says, have a legitimate health and sociological purpose far removed from anything lewd or indecent. Yet because the| magazine carries photographs of | unclad colonists, it comes under’ the| postal ban. o NUDES, GOOD AND BAD Like the rest of the Govemmem,l the Post Office Department seems| to be on a sort of “24-hour basis”, with regard to what is good and what is nauglty. They haven't is- sued a broadside ban against nudist| magazines—at least not officially. Each new issue is judged by itself alone; and if it contains nudes, it can't go through the mails; and! that is that. i Mr. Boone evidently found the| same adamant attitude on the part of the Department. He reports that| a delegation of nudist leaders call- ed on the Department when their| magazine failed to get through the| mail, and evidently they put the| Department through a sort of third degree. These things came out. Medical publications with nudes| may go through the mails, and Boone agreed that was quite pruper.‘ Art publications may go through the too, too arty. For a time during the nudists’ examination of the Department, it almost developed that one nude fi- gure was not bad while several nudes in a cluster could be very bad xnfl such arbitrary ruling as that. { We have two copies of “The Nud-! ist” (donated, not bought) and they | contain several pictures of nudes of all ages. The figures are photo- | graphically retouched in some in- stances but they are nude and no| doubt about it, and that is all the, Department needs to bring down the ban.

CONGRESS BALKS We asked the Department how it distinguished between the nudes in our copies and the almost-but-not-| quite nudes which often decorate the covers of several types of story magazines. A Department official! told us that the Department is a' little lenient about covers but it cer-| tainly turns a scathing eye on naughtiness on the inside pages‘ |But not all magazines with semi- | draped girls on the front cover get |through the Department. An of-' ficial told us they had knocked out certain of the magazine naughties' |so often that their publishers were not trying to use the mails any more. but were distributing them in bulk by other means. He said some‘ might be using express. There is a law against ahiw‘ns such stuff by express, but it differs from the postal law.
