Books on nudisn
Upheld in Ruling
Ignoring Merits
Appeals Court Relies
On Art Generolities
For q Precedent

While declining to pass on the
merits of nudism, the Court Of Ap-
peals yesterday reversed the District
Courts condemnation Of six books
on "Nudism in Modern Life" as
obscene.
The question hinged on whether
the work. sent here through the
mails from England, was obscene In
the present sense Of the word. Since
"obscenity is not a technical term
of the law" the higher court fell
back on the generalities of art and
science for a precedent.
ut cannot be assumed that nudity
Is obscene of itself and under all
circumstances" the court said.
Nudity in art has long been recog-
nized as the reverse of obscene. Art
galleries and art catalogues contain
many nudes. ancient and modern.
Even such conservative source
book as the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA contains nudes, full front view,
male and female. and nude males
and females pictured together and
IN pnySlcal contact"
Vinson Dissents.
A vigorous dissenting opinion was
offered by Associate Justice Fred M.
Vinson, who was q Representative
from Kentucky In 1880. when Con-
gress passed the Tariff Act under
which the books were seized. The
books were mailed to Maurice Par
melee, who appealed from the Dis
trict Court ruling.
The majority opinion was written
by Associate Justice Justin Miller,
who, with Chief Justice D. Lawrence
Groner and Justice Vinson, heard
the case
Justice Vinson insisted that book
is obscene if "the tendency of the
questionable matter, considered with
the book as whole, is to arouse
lustful thought" He wrote further:
"The majority have evidently con-
cluded that the countrywide sense
Of decency has altered, in the past
few years, to the extent that in the
present day only Rip Van Wrinkle
could regard the book in question as
obscene. That cannot believe. Ac-
cepting the premise that time
marches on" am nevertheless un-
able to agree that here and now
progressed to the point where a
publication of this character is, be-
yond the possibility of reasonable
difference of opinion, acceptable to
the community"
Majority Cites Science.
: The majority cited science as we'll
as art to back their stand. pointing
out that medical men of yesterday
were forced by censorship to restrict
anatomical drawings to studies of
animals" or hypothetical sketches.
Speaking of nudism, the majority
wrote. There is. perhaps. as great
or greater need for freedom Of scien-
tific research and exposition In this
field as in any other. And at this
point 1t may be well to repeat that
the question is not whether nudity
as . practice is justiflable or de-
sirable -"

THIS DESERTER
SHOCKS POLICE

SPOKANE - There were some
sheepish officers around police
headquarters today.
They took Jack MacCamy into
custody last night because they
thought he was drunk. Then they
reconsidered and released him.
Less than a half hour later
MacCamy was back at the sta
ton.
I've lodged the law and I've
lodged the army and I'm tired of
it," the 1e-year-old youth ex-
planned.
you have a warrant for me. I
took a truck out of a garage and
I'm a deserter from the army"
The officers looked in their files
and. sure enough, there was a
warrant charging MacCamy with
larceny, so they jailed him.

COUNTY CHIEFS
GROUP 0KEHED

OLYMPIA-The state supreme
court Wednesday upheld constitu-
tionality of the 1889 law creating
a state association of county COM
missioners to coordinate legisla-
tive activities of the counties in
highway and social security mat
tiers.
The question was brought befors
the court in an appeal by County
Auditor Bush Baker, of Thurston
county, who was ordered by the
lower court TO pay S11.27 check
to the association for three weeks
work last June. Thurston county
commissioners brought the suit
against him to test whether the
law was valid.
Baker. acting on an attorney
generals opinion, held ii was I'M
constitutional because it created
monopoly and permitted county
funds to be used to finance an
organization from which the COM
missioners would get personal gain.
The supreme court said the law
did not permit a monopoly be-
cause it did not require county
commissioners to join, but was
voluntary.
II said the other contention was
not good because the county was
more likely to gain from the ssso-
cations activities than the indi-
vidual commissioners. Today's
decision opened the way for the
association to collect dues from
all 80 counties for its activities.

California vegetables were plen-

reported Wednesday. The season
for these crops is almost over

Lettuce, celery. carrots, rad
ishes and other vegetables have
arrived from the south to replenish
the supply. The potato market
was stronger, resulting in higher
prices, but other produce was
about the same. Eggs, butter and
cheese were reported unchanged.

BY DREW PEARSON

egram and I didn't notify him
Actually Tydings had promised
Democratic leaders shortly after
the Chicago convention that he
would help to raise around $4,000
from Federal employees. There
are more New Dealers resident in
Maryland than any other State in
the Union and contributions from
them of $4,000 was not considered
too much to expect. A little later
however, Willard came around to
headquarters to report that the
Hatch Act interferred and as
Senator he could not, he said, ask
for money from Federal employ
ees. However, Tydings had in his
office long list of job holders,
many of whom have received jobs
through his endorsement, and this
list he did not even turn over to
Democratic leaders. They had to
get their own lists.
After the campaign was all over,
and everyone was still expecting
a sizeable deficit, Tydings propos
ed a victory dinner. 1t was his
idea to charge about $500 a plate
and thus make up the deficit.
Buck" Cash was keen for the idea
and proposed it to others, but the
others were not enthusiastic.
They saw in the victory dinner
an opportunity for Senator Tyd-
ings to emerge smilingly at the
speakers table, take credit for the
victory and place himself at the
head of the Democratic Party =
despite the fact that he had done
almost everything possible to him
der Roosevelt's reelection, even
including a statement on the eve
of the election that he was in IA
vor of a ban on the third term.
