Indecent Photo Sale
Conviction Upheld

The Municipal Court Of Appeals
yesterday rejected an argument
that, the people Of Washington
are willing to tolerate the sale OF
nude photographs.
The appellate court upheld a
ruling by Municipal Court Judge
Almond w. Scott that nude
photographs offered for sale by
Herbert j. Benjamin, a newsdeal-
er at 603 Fifteenth street NV,
were obscene and indecent.
In an opinion written by Judge
Andrew M. Hood. the court said
the pictures were indecent "by
any recognized standard"
Benjamin's attorneys had ar
gued that "the modern test of
obScenity Is whether the subject
OF inquiry goes beyond the ex-
tremes Of community tolerance" "
The defense contended the
photographs of undressed women
do not exceed the extremes of
community tolerance existing to-
day in the city of Washington"
The appeals court ruled the
photographs were indecent by
any standard. including the one
advanced by the appellant"
BENJAMIN was found guilty last
January by Judge Scott and SUBJ
sequently sentenced by him to
pay 5000 fine or serve 80 days.
The Government was represented
by Assistant United States Attor-
ney Joseph A. Sommer.

are attending the AID annual
meeting of the society, which
opened Monday and will close to-

Basic advances in science,
which are the foundation of all
real progress in applied science,
depend on very small percentage
of our population. Mr.. Thackery
said. These are the people who
have the very highest native
ability and the desire and will
to apply this ability to scientific
pursuits.
In the future. the Nation can
not afford to lose any of this group
because the economic barriers to
college attendance are too high. :"
The society will give two awards
for outstanding engineering
achievement in agriculture at its
annual dinner tonight. They are
the John Deere Gold Medal and
the Cyrus Hall Mccormick Gold
Medal. Frank j. link of Chicago,
society president, will present the

A plea for Americans to under

confronted with a choice between

any such questions arise, they are
disposed of easily somewhere
