Washington newsdealers today be- gan to clear from their chelves from 7 to 10 magazines that have been de- clared “indecent and obscene” by Dis. trict Attotrney Peyton Gordon and which the Police Department was ordered to notify all distributors would bring immediate prosecutions should any attempt be made to sell them. Every precinct in Washington was supplied with a list of these publica tions late vesterday, and policemen formally notified the dealers on their beats of the prosecutor’s decision. In vestigation today revealed large piles of these publication in the rear of the stores, ready for shipment back to their points of origin at the earliest possible minute. - Some Dealers Chagrined. Deep chagrin over the police ban on their wares was admitted b, number of newsdealers, however, who \r'lem-fl to express the sentiments of A4 majority of the others by their unanimity. In half a dozen instances ‘l} lers frankly told a reporter for The Star, who called to ask their Views on the campaign, that they most certainly would not follow the advice of Maj. Gordon and act as their OwWn censors in the future, “When the police tell me that a definite magazine is unlawful T will remove it from my place of business; 1 others I intend to sell as I have in the past, and they can arrest me if they care to,” one dealer declared. *I don't know ‘what is lawful and what isn't. That's the police department’s business; selling magazines is mine. And I intend to stick to my own busi ness. 1 hope they bring a test into court.” Follows Gordon Ruling. Investigation of that particular stand, to which the dealer made no objection whatever. revealed that, al- though the proprietor had removed the publications definitely banned by the district attorney, there remained dozen or more others that were just as objectionable a: if not more so than, the ones that had been with- drawn from public consumption These, the dealer said, would remain on display for sale. Another dealer, who displays within a block of one of the city largest high schools a score or more of lascivious publications, declared he had removed the magazines the police had ordered banned, but said he could not set out to censor the others. They remained hanging in full view, and most of them catered directly to the vouthful trade with which that news stand in particular is surrounded every morning, noon and afternoon. “How n I tell what's in them?" asked the dealer. “Maybe I can't read I sell near-beer, too.

Two | more days of grace remain before the promised action will begin In the meantime the office of the prosecutor and The Star have received many letters commending them for their fight to rid Washington of lascivious literature and obscene “art.” One of the letters written to the prosecutor’s office came from one of the best known sculptors in Wash ington. He warmly praised both the la enforcement division of the Gov. ernment_and The Star, and heartily agreed that the figures used to illus trate some of the magazines most cer tainly are not art when presented under such conditipns. Appeal to Emotion Made. The sculptor declared that the ed-| itors of some of the publications make no serious pretense of presenting them as objects of art, but merel wish to appeal to the emotions of voung boys and girls. Should either the prosecutor or The Star, he con- cluded, ever need him to take the wit- ness stand and repeat his statements under oath he would be only too glad of the opportunit At its regular meeting last night the Parent-Teacher Association of Columbia Junior High School adopted condemning magazines other publications ‘“harmful to high school boys and girl Strict enforcement of the law for the sup-| ession of lasclvious literature wa: manded by a_number of speakers. In addition, the following letier was received by The Star today from Ernest H. Van Fossan, chairman of the law and legislative committee of the Washington Federation of Churches: “On behalf of the committee on law and legislation of the Washington Fed eration of Churches, I desire to com mend most heartily the fine stand taken by The Evening Star in co-oper- ation with the police and the aistrict attorney’'s office to prevent the sale and distribution of indecent magazines and other publications in the District of Columbia. This is a fight in which there can be no middle ground. No right-minded person can, with knowl- edge of the faci agree with the stand you hav “We wish you every success and as- sure you of our desire to co-operate with you in every way. 3 PICTURE SALE INDICTMEN' }.l Girls Who Posed Are Sought by Boston Police.
