[ | tak | 1t ¢ P Spurred to maintain a clsoer censor ship by the discovery ¢ questionable magazines still on sale at local newsstands, Maj. Edwin B Hesse, superintendent of police, served notice on news venders today that far as the Police Department is con cerned there is to be no let-up in the campaign to stop this form of traffick ing fr th th tesponsibility for the sale of porno ohic literature and art magazines rests upon the dealers and the distrib utors. Maj. Hesse declared, and if they cannot distinguish between what decent and indecent, they must take | the consequences. Believing a majority of these making an honest effort to conform to the regulations, Maj. Hesse said he would be glad to meet with repr atives of local news distributc discuss the situation with them they cared to show enough interest in co-operating to keep the stands free of obscene literature. Warns of Possible Censorship. "1 know a lot of thess magazines are getting Into the hands of young school children, despite our efforts to break up this traffic,” said Maj. Hesse, “and the Police Department is going to keep right on the trail of the newsstands and order the removal of every maga- zine believed offensive to public de cency. The best element In the Dis- trict is behind this campaign and the dealers and distributors might as well know we are in earnest about it.” Maj. Hesse warned local distributors and news vendors that unless they voluntarily take a hand in keeping all literature of a salacious, indecent character off the stands, they will run counter to a public opinion that will eventually result in a rigid and liberal censorship. William H. Smith, proprietor of the Capital News Co., one of the local distributors suggested today that one outsider, or referee, whose decisic would be final, he appointed to rule which publications should or should not be distributed locally for sale. Appointment of such a censor, he pointed out. would be a better solu- tion of the situation, than any agree- ment among the distributors them selves ara te of ar an w n id M Has Banned Several. Smith protested that he has been annoyed frequently by persons so- liciting indecent art plctures, which he says he is not handling and would refuse to handle. “Any magazine on my list which the authorities believe is questionable,” he said today, “I am perfectly willing to withdraw.
