1 10 3 Points,
Then Subside

NEW YORK, Oct. 4 R.The
stock market staged Q sparkling
rally today and then subsidized
from its best In the early after
noon.
The drive ahead was vigorous
and reversed yesterdays heavy
|reactionary movement.
Gains at times went to around
s points. but for the most part
they extended ! to 8 points at
the outside. Only O few losses
exceeded q point.
Steels and motors were the
most active Of the major groups.
They had support from the mail
order issues, aircrafts and rail-
roads. Other divisions were
somewhat mixed, although lean-
ing higher.
Trading started fast with
prices mixed. Within q few min
|utes after the opening the tape
was forced to lag in reporting
transactions on the floor of the
New York Stock Exchange. When
that congestion ended after a
brief time, prices were headed
higher In q strong rally.
Most leaders were sharply
higher, and 80 minutes after
trading started. Bethlehem Steel
opened on q block Of 1000 shares
lup 5 at 1853. Later 1t subsided
from its best as did most other
stocks in the list.
The bond market was quietly
higher. U. s. Government issues
traded over the counter were q
shade lower.

Is Per Cent Increase
In Obscene Materials
Noted by Post Office
By Robert X. Walsh

A 70 per cent increase in OBJ
scene material sent through the
United States mails and a more
subtle type of subversive propa-
eanda are plaguing the Post Of
fee Department. a House APP
preparations subcommittee dis
closed today.
The problem of coping with
filthy Literature" and pictorial
publications, according to closed
session testimony by Department
Solicitor Abe M. Golf. is compli-
Gated by a recent court ruling
and an almost inevitable cry Of
Censorship"
Mr.. Golf, a former Republican
House mepber from Idaho, told
the subcommittee that the in
crease in sexy texts and pictures
in the mails has resulted largely
from the spread of sham" pub
fishing concerns seeking a quick
dollar from dupes.
The department must use time
and money to crack down on
them, if only because of their
right of appeal to courts. he ex-
planned. Moreover, he added. 1--WE
now are having a new lawsuit
every month because a court of
appeals held that we could not
make a prospective ruling against
them"

First Public Reaction Fovors
Margaret ] ownsend Romance

Another letter to the editor
referred to the case Of Margaret's
uncle, the Duke of Windsor,
whose romance with American
divorce Wallis Simpson was
hushed up by British newspapers.
A Welshman wrote:
when the Duke of Windsor
chose between duty and love, the
public were not given a proper
hearing This folly mustn't be
repeated with another beloved
person."
A London housewife, however,
thought 1t ''in the worst pos
sible taste to greet Princess
Margaret after her successful
tour with a storm of gossip and
surmise."
Neither the princess, in her ap-
pearence at the Lord Mayors
civic reception for her Tuesday.
nor Capt. Townsend in Brussels
have given any outward appear
ances Of being particularly dis
turbed.
Capt. Townsend yesterday told
reporters in the Belgian capital
where he is British air attache
that he had been on a short
winter vacation, spent mainly
in training his new horse.
II am going back to work Mon
day." he said.
Has No Comment.
Although willing to talk about
the horse, he refused to answer
any questions about Princess
Margaret. Asked about London
reports that his engagement to
the princess would be announced
later this year, he said:
Il have read those stories. I
have nothing to say about them"
Capt. Townsend said he had no
present plans TO leave Brussels.
There had been reports that he
might go to Southern France
to meet the Duke of Edinburgh,
husband of Queen Elizabeth II,
who is there to join the British
fleet on Mediterranean ma
neuvers.
The London Daily Sketch, in
dispatch from Brussels today,
quoted Capt. Townsend as say
ing that so far he has had no
official guidance on what to say
concerning the reported romance
from Buckingham Palace, the
Foreign Office or his own service.

as an arbitrary censor. He new
ertheless insisted that 1.-THE dan
ger is in the breaking down of
the general standards of our
country, particularly the dissem-
nation of obscenity among juye-
niles" If the situation gets any
worse. he said, congressional &C.
ton may be necessary. The 70
per cent increase since the last
fiscal year is bad enough, he
added.
AS for the subversive materials
sent through the mails, DR.. Golf
testified, the Post Office Depart
ment as well as the Customs
Service have been every success
full in cutting down the type
that clearly advocates" over
throw Of the United States Gov
eminent.
But" he said, there is a
large volume of domestic propa-
ganda that does not go quite so
far. We have been engaged in a
constant study Of the question
with the Justice Department.
While we still have a tremendous
problem with the foreign politi-
cal problem that comes in from
behind the Iron Curtain our
chief trouble now is with the
more subtle domestic material
and foreign political program. !"
Red Nudists.
AS for subversive material and
obscene matter, Mr.. Golf said
the twain occasionally meet be-
cause "the Communists employ
a few models as we'll as nudists"
in their propaganda.
Subcommittee closed sessions,
at which Postmaster General
SImmerf1eld and other depart
ment officials explained budget
requests for the coming fiscal
year, brought out also that:
/. In event Of an atomic at
tack on Washington the depart
ment's decentralization program
would enable the postal service
to operate efficiently.
2. The departments perennial
deficit, which was 1899 million
in 1854 and about 1923 million
this fiscal year, will be about
$685. million in June, 1856.
3. Mr.. Summerfield stands by
bis previous conviction that
some postal rates should be in
creased, notably from to 4
cents on first class mail, to wipe
out the annual deficits.
4. Reorganization of the Wash
ington headquarters of the de-
partment has reduced employ
ment here from 1929 in 1852
to 1902 last November. Disper-
sal of management functions
among newly established re-
gional offices is beginning to save
thousands of dollars annually.
S. The experimental "airlift
operation" for some 3-ceht mail
is serving $50 cities. including
Washington and moving approx
mately 4 million letters, but be-
cause of court rulings will need
eventual approval of Congress
if it is to be permanent.
6. Since January, 1858, ap-
proximately 1850 small post
Offices have been closed with re-
sultant savings Of about $1,4OO
a year in each instance. But the
department would close more il

gress, Assistant Postmaster Cen

LONDON, Mar. 10.-The re-
ports that Princess Margaret in
tends to marry a divorced COM
moner aroused sympathetic sup
port today from bellwethers Of
British public opinion-the writ
ers Of letters to the editor"
Go ahead and good luck" was
the tenor Of the first letters on
the matter. appearing in the
tabloid Daily Mirror. Praise was
voiced. too, for public disclosure
Of her reported plans to wed
40-year-old Raj Group Capt.
Peter Townsend.
Meanwhile, the 24-year-old
princess, who has been the busi-
est member Of the royal family
during the past six years, took
four days away from official
duties. She was expected to spend
q good deal of the brief holiday
with her sister, Queen Elizabth
II. and the Queen Mother at the
royal lodge in Windsor.
The princess began her brief
rest-up-after her month-long
Caribbean tour-by dining with
friends in a private room at a
fashionable West End hotel last
night. Her next official engage
ment is next Tuesday night,
when she attends the consecra-
ton Of st. Philips Church in
Plaistow.
Laid Foundation Stone.
The princess laid the founda-
ton stone of the rebuilt church,
which had been destroyed by
bombing.
Britons from Mayfair to the
pubs tingled with excitement
over the new climax in the ro-
mantle story of the young prin-
cess and the debonair World
War II air hero.
A Durham housewife in a
letter to the Mirror gave Mar
garet this advice:
Il married an innocent party
In a divorce. I was 81, he was
80. After seven years I love
him more than overland I am
very, very happy. So if Princess
Margaret marries Peter Town
send I say: The best of luck to
them both"

the meeting.
Although called only to dis
cuss the change from a fee
basis to a salary system the
justices were liberal in their
criticism of the criminal cases
in the county.
One justice pointed out he
saw a man arrested about so
feet from the gasoline station
he operates in Hambden but
the officer still took the man
into Chardon for trial.
Justice Ralph Ford said,
The distribution of criminal
cases is entirely unjustified. ,"
Justice Charlie S Giles of
cambridge said, This appears
to be a matter of discretion on
the part of the sheriff and the
only way to change it will be
at the next election when the
sheriff runs for office again.
Common Pleas Judge Harold
J. Richmond put forth the sug-
gestion that justices be placed
on a minimum of $25 a mon
tn salary and an adjustment
made of the basis of the num-
Der of cases heard during the
past eighteen months. AS a re-
suit the justices will forward to
the commissioners records of
the number of civil and Grim
inal cases and costs for the ba-
sis of figuring their salaries.
The result will be that they
will receive about the same
of money except in the
cases of the justices who hear
practically no cases and un-
der the present arrangements
will receive $25 a month re-
gardleSS.
The justices also discussed
Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1955-09-22

the difference in the penalties
assessed by the different JUS
tees and the fact that some
justices were not always avail
able. AS a result they held
a separate meeting after their
session with the commissioners
and plan to organize a justices
group. One of their first acts
will be to forward to the sher-
iff a schedule of the hours
they are available for work.
Mrs. Jeanne Schikowski, JUS
tice of the peace in Huntsburg
was elected temporary treas
urer and secretary. Bylaws for
the group will be drawn up by
a committee Of Thomas Seliga
of Bainbridge; Clyde Russell
of Troy; Edwin Hofstetter of
Chardon and Willard Steinfurth
of Chester.
