should be considered" he has
urged. He reasons:

should be considered" he has
urged. He reasons:
First. there is a definite ques-
ton as to just how far police
departments should engage in
crime prevention activities which
usurp the functions of such other
agencies as recreation, social and
welfare. to mention a few. This
problem must be decided by the
individual departments on local
basis depending upon whether
such facilities are lacking and
whether responsible agencies are
fulfilling the demands made up
on them.
Second, that juvenile delin-
quency is partially a police prob
lem but mainly a problem for
the entire community, including
home, school, church, welfare
agencies, recreation agencies and
a multitude of others.
Third, the character and
morals of our youth are being
deteriorated by the immoral and
pornographic literature being
made commonplace through the
medium of television, radio, mo-
ton pictures, novels, magazines
and so-called comic books.
Capt. John F. Ryan, head Of
the police juvenile squad. says
he cannot recall in almost seven
years as head of the unit, a
case in which a boy has blamed
comic books for his problems.
But he does believe that from
his conversations with parents,
ministers and other officials that
comic books have influenced
some children unfavorably.
Inspector Roy Blick, head Of
the police morals squad. says he
does not favor a censorship
board, but he urges q revision Of
the law. making more specific
Just what material should be
banned.
Cooperation Good.
He says he has made arrange
ments with many distributors in
Washington under which they
do not accept certain books
considered Objectionable. The
general cooperation, he says,
has been good.
The Districts law on the sub
| jects reads:

vertises the same for sale, or
writes or prints any letter, cir
cular, handbill. book, pamphlet
or notice of any kind stating by
what means any of sucl4 articles
may be obtained or advertises
any drug, nostrum or instrument
intended to produce abortion. or
gives or participates in, or by
bill, poster or otherwise adver-
tises, any public exhibition, show.

obscene, indecent or lascivious
language, postures, or sugges-
tions or otherwise offending pub
lie decency shall be fined not less
than $50 nor more than $500, or
imprisoned not more than !
year or both.
The voice Of protest being
heard over the land is having its
effect. William Gaines, 80, pub
Usher of Entertaining Comics
Group says "our sales have
dropped off a third since the
campaigns started. I'm discon-
tinuing three of my horror books
and two suspense books"
Publisher Surrenders.
BY way Of announcing 1t to
what he felt would be a heart
broken leadership, he told his
readers in one of the magazines
I'VE still believe that the charges
against horror comics are utter
nonsense. We are forced to
capitulate. We give UP. We've
had It,"
But at the same time he an
nounced substitute publications
which he gleefully said. will be
announced in Mad. Panic,
Weird Science-Fantasy. Piracy
and Two FiSted Tales"
Mr.. Gaines was the man who
startled q Senate committee in
vestigating the influence Of crime
comics on juvenile delinquency
with his standards of taste.
During hearings. Tennessee's
Estes Kefauver held up one OF
Gaines comics. The cover
showed q man with q knife In
