Restaurant Committee
To Aid Police Drive
Against BootIeggers

Police Inspector Clarence Lutz
agreed today to discuss the Dis
tricts growing bootlegging prob
lem with committee from the
Restaurant Beverage Association
of Washington.
His own idea for solving the
problem is to take profits out Of
illegal liquor sales-not to build
bigger jails. The head of tho
police morals squad added:
There are, of course, certain
groups of people who would object
to such measures as extending
the closing hours at taverns. But
you can't make people good with
laws-that has already been
proved"
Inspector Lutz's comments came
after he learned that a committee
had been named by the Restau-
rant Beverage Association last
night to meet with him, to aid in
the fight against bootlegging.
James F. ODonnell. executive
secretary Of the tavern keepers
group. said he would get in touch
with Inspector Lutz today. The
committee, he said, would first
draw up list of proposals.
The inspector declared that he
would be pleased to hear from the
committee, but would have to
check with Police Chief Murray
as to where such proposals should
be channeled. II am not a policy
official, just a worker here" he
added.

had to use estimates.

Sinclair Weeks. finance chairman

of $40 million or $50 million was

House Group Attacks
Offensive Books as
Investigation Opens
By james {. Roper

A special House committee de-
|clared today that millions Of
|pocket-sized books. "cheesecake"
magazines and comic books con-
tain "the most conspicuous offenses
Iagainst common decency."
The committee. under chairman
ship Of Representative Gathings,
Democrat. of Arkansas, sounded
the complaint as it convened to
start hearings on offensive books.
The committee said pocket sized
books first were printed to repro
duce standard literary works, but
have "deteriorated during the past
decade into media for the dis
|semination Of artful appeals to
|sensuality. immortality, filth. per-
version and degeneracy."
"Cheesecake" magazines, the
committee said, feature photo
graphs OF young women in more
or less revealing poses. always
emphasizing shapeliness."
Comic Magazines Attacked.
The committee said comic mag
azines aren't funny but specialize
in crime, violence, horror, ro-
nance. adventure, supermen and
the West that does not actually
exist"
The committee said comic books
have an Astonishing" 70 million
readers in the United States, and
have a circulation far larger than
all the other books. magazines and
periodicals combined.
The committee said it had sent
questionnaires to pocket-book pub
fishers but had been met with
silence" So the committee called
to the witness stand today to
testify under oath Ralph Daigh.
editorial director of Fawcett Publi-
cations. the worlds largest pub
Usher OF magazines and pocket
books.
He told the committee that
Fawcett during the last two years
printed 46 million copies of pock-
ct books which he said Fawcett
now puts out at the rate of eight
new titles per month.
Court Ruling Quoted.
Mr.. Gathings said he did not
want to condemn all pocket books
or magazines. A committee state
ment said the New York State
Supreme Court ruled recently that
in weighing the value of nudist
magazines. "the test of decency is
the fair judgment Of reasonable
adults in a community"
"The weight Of evidence against
cheesecake nudism," the commit.
tee said. lis not so much against
nudity per sc as against those
avaricious publishers who present
their subjects in torsos abnormal
ly exaggerated as to their Sec
ondary sexual attributes, and in
suggestive, even lascivious poses.
1T cannot be denied that such
pictures will have a libidinous
effect on many normal individ-
uals. Their effect upon the sub
normal individual may be more
disastrous.
Somewhat less numerous but
equally objectional from an
ethical standpoint are the psuedo
art and science magazines
promoted by charlatans. Many go
far beyond the bounds Of decency
in text. illustrations and adver-
tisements.
1T is significant that certain
types of medical literature are
advertised extensively in movie
magazines and others OF similar
type which cater to adolescents
who presumably are not seeking
scientific enlightenment"

By Elton c. Foy

Asseeiatsd Press Military Affairs Reporter
Broad gaps appear in the outer
arc of the defense system along
the North American continent
over which bombers from Russia
could fly toward targets in the
United States.
Although the joint and inten-
sive efforts of this country and
Canada have succeeded in get
ting radar system into opera
ton which may detect an ap-,
preaching enemy. bases are lack
ing from which interceptors could
challenge raiders at some points
along the vast perimeter.
On the basis of recent official
disclosures and visits by news
men, the Far North defense pic
ture looks like this:
At the Northwest end: A sys-

fields, together with facilities for
ground troops to defend them,
now exists in Alaska, where the
United States is a next-door
neighbor of Russia. Neither COM

ed swiftly by flying men and

3 U. S. Bases in Greenland.
At the Northeast corner: Vir-
tual completion of a huge bomber
and fighter base at Thule brings
to three the number of Amer
ican-operated airflelds in Green
land. Together with those Green
land units of the Northeast Air
Command are other bases in
Labrador and Newfoundland.
But along a 1,500-mile stretch
OF wasteland and frozen sea be-
tween Greenland and a point inI
Canada near Alaska, there exist
few. if any. fields capable of send
ing up substantial force of in
terceptors. The radar eyes might
see an enemy along the rim, butt
it would remain up to fighter bases
farther down in Canada and inI
the United States to provide the
tnterception.
A somewhat similar situation
exists in Greenland. The three
presently operating bases are To-
Gated at Narsarssuak, at the south
western corner; at Sondestrom
fjord just north of the Arctic
Circle, and at Thule, near Cape
York, on the northwestern corner,
about 900 miles from the North
Pole.
System Has Disadvantages.
Tactically. this present system
has disadvantages. The distances
between bases. one of which must
be used as an alternate field for
another in event of bad weather
or damage to a plane in flight, is F..
great-800 miles in some in
stances. There are no fields now
in regular operating use along the
entire east coast of Greenland.
Greenland is a territory of Den
mark and the American bases are
there by agreement with the Dam
ish government. The building of
any new bases or ehabilitation of
old World War II bases would
require the approval of Denmark
which, like Canada and the United
States, is a member of the North ,
Atlantic Treaty Organization.
There have been indications that
the United States might be in
terested in improving the air base
system IN Greenland and else
where in the Arctic area. Routine
surveys are being made to deter
mine the feasibility of locations,
If and when definite planning for
base construction is needed in the
future.

cHIcAGo'S NEGRO
COMMUNITIES LEAD IN
REAL ESTATE SALES

CHICAGO CAMP Negroes
led this city in home purchases in
1851, according to escrow records
Of the Chicago Title & Trust Co,
one of the country's largest real
estate clearing houses.
The records show the big South
Side is first place, while the West
Side community ranked second.
Both communities embrace the
overwhelming majority Of Chi
cago's 800, 900 Negro residents.
William B. Collier, president of
the Dearborn Real Estate Board,
Inc, a Negro group. said the re-
port again reveals that Negroes
are the most conscientious home
owners in the nation. Since World
War II, Chicago's Negro residents
invested in real estate at an I'M
precedented rate.
Contrary to a popular belief in
some circles, Negroes are not
habitual renters. We have a tradi-
ton of home ownership, and pro-
perty values usually rise in neigh
borhoods that change to Negro
occupancy"
The sudden rise in sales to Chi
cago Negroes followed the SUI
preme Courts decision voiding re-
strictive covenants. Most of the
transactions in former all-white
areas have been in Park Manor,
Hyde Park and Woodlawn-all on
the South Side. Spokesman for
realtors say that business has
tripled in transitional areas since
Negroes moved in.
While Negroes maintained their
lead in home purchases, the total
sales figure took a decided drop.
Transactions for the city and sub
urbs in the first six months Of the
year were down 11.3 per cent
compared with the same period in
1851.
