BARRED BOOKS AT | PORTS OF ENTRY IN CONTROVERSY
SmoOt-Hawley Tariff Act of l93O May Be Brought Into lt-G0vt Is Going to Make Great Fight
By LOWELL LEAkE fA<H Ube<.an GAA0 u x. =.

(Unfted Press Stan COrrcspOndent)
 New York, March 6-(UP)--Jury trials to substitute censorship by n judge and jury for censorship for merly exercised by customs in- spect0r of unknown qualifications and literal-minded judge may be given books or publications barred at ports of entry under the Shoot Hawley act of 1930, now in effect.
 This was disclosed today in ex- plantations of the case of "The United States vs Married Love-" which will be heard in the second federal dis trict court, New York city, during the April term.
 Married Love is book by Marie c. Slopes, London, author of some 20 books on birth control and sex hygiene. Her books have been at tackled for years by forces in this country opposed to distribution of sex hygiene information.
 Three copies of the book were shipped to three social workers in the Philadelphia district. They were seized by customs officials. Treasury departments suits did not go to jury, through action of Federal Judge William H. Fitzpatrick who ruled the books might be imported into this country.
 Treasury department officials chose to disregard the ruling, and proceeded against copy of the book seized by New York customs lnsDec- tors last September. This copy was volume from which all birth con- trol information had been deleted, and to that degree was less objection able to the government than the cop les on which Judge Kirkpatrick ruled.
 The case here then will be genuine test, the first major case tried under provisions of the Shoot Hawley tariff act of 1930. according to Mortimer Baum, assistant U, $. attorney in charge of the case.
 "The new tariff act will mean in effect Q liberalization of censorship at ports of entry" he declared. "If the treasury department loses this case. and should it lose on an appeal, all kinds of matter hitherto barred may be admitted"
 For that reason the treasury de- partment Is making the stronges. case possible against Married Love It is believed a stronger case may be built up in this instance than was at Philadelphia where Judge Kir- patrick's ruling was not appealed. An appeal here will establish a ore. cedent. while Judge kirkpatrick's decision. the treasury department ruled, need not determine its action in future cases" he said.

Finance Board
 Met Yesterday
Will Look Into Tuition Fund
 in the Schools

Thomas r. Kelly, executive secre-
 tary, will attempt to straight out the problem which exists in the
 school department at the present time it was voted at the board of finance meeting yesterday afternoon. This is in reference to an item of 1,100, which comprises tuition for
 pupils who attend grammar or high schools in the second district but who reside in the first taxation dis l trict. The school department al-
 ways received this amount from the outside district but the change ad- vocated by the charter commission cut off this revenue.
 The communication from Dr Donovan. superintendent of schools,
 which described this matter and asked that the board of finance act | upon 1t, was placed on file while Mir Kelly investigates the matter. There are 30 pupils in the high schools and | 14 in the grammar schools from the first district.

cases: The books in Philadelphia were consigned to individuals for their private use; the book here was consigned to c. F. Putnam's pub fishers for republication and general distribution.

EARLY BOOKING
 HEAVIEST EVER,
 BAKER ASSERTS
Alaska s. 5. Company Of- ficial Tells Chamber Good
 Tourist Year Ahead

The Alaska Steamship Company at the present time has more ad- vance bookings for the 1881 tour ist season than at the same period of any year in it's previous history, L. w. Baker General Passenger and Freight Agent, told the Cham Der of Commerce today. And de- spite the general decline in travel, it carried more tourists to Alaska in 1880 than it did in 1929, he add ed.
 Advertising is directly responsi- ble for last years trade and for this years bookings, MT. Baker said. In 1880 the company spent S5,000 in two magazines and eastern and California newspapers. This year it has set aside S20,0OO for advertis- ing in 12 nationally circulated mag azines, newspapers in the east and California, and three radio stations.
 Money so spent is the finest thing we can do, for we know that we get returns from our advertising expenditures" he declared. He urged the local Chamber to con- tinue its own publicity campaigns. "The tourist dollar is one of the best we get, for every cent of it stays in the town in which it is spent"
 He emphasized this by an illus tration. The Alaska tour of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce last year spent between $500 and S700 in Juneau with the taxicabS alone, making trips to the Glacier. Every cent of that money remain ed in town.
