Senate Hearings Slated
On Sale of Lewd Books

A Senate subcommittee will
start public hearings soon on the
Nationwide sale Of indecent
books and pictures to teen-age
children.
The investigation is said to in
volve traffic In pornography m a
large number of cities. including
Washington.
Sources connected with the
Senate Subcommittee on Juve-
nile Delinquency said the scope
of the inquiry probably will be
limited to testimony on where
the leWd literature is produced
and how it is distributed.
The group, headed by Senator
Kefauver, Democrat. of TenneS-
see, hopes to start hearings late
this month.
Way Cleared
Indecision as to just how far
the subcommittee should go in
exposing the problem has delayed
the public hearings. But inves-
tigators believe that difficulty
has been ironed out. -
A report of the subcommittee
In March said 1.-The huge quanti-
ties" of filthy books and pictures
ARE sold to juveniles. A prelimi-
nary investigation of the prob
lem was held in Miami last De-
scember.
In support Of testimony, but
not for the public to see, some
committee investigators have

of evidence, picked up all over

boost. And II the truth were
known, the administration would
have been just as happy If the
classified pay raise legislation
fell through" q postal union
leader said.
Meanwhile. classified employees
are the forgotten men and wom-
en- in the pay fight. Until the
postal pay issue is resolved, Con-
gress probably will take no fur
ther action on classified pay
legislation.
FUTURE ACTION-If Mr.,
Eisenhower vetoes the postal
pay bill and Congress sustains
the veto, there will be a move by
administration forces on Capitol
Hill to get immediate action on
the 7.6 per cent postal pay-re-
classification bill ct probably
would average 8 per cent since
rural letter carriers and special
delivery messengers would get q
little more money than originally
proposed in the bilD and a 6 per
cent pay boost for classified en-
ployes.
It then would depend on the
Democratic leadership and the
postal employee unions whether
the legislation would be brought
up or whether another attempt
would be made to push through
legislation acceptable to the
postal unions.
Letter Carriers President Do
herty graphically says: IF the
8.6 per cent bill is vetoed and
the veto is sustained by Con-
gress then it will be ages before
the Postmaster General can ex-
pect any postal salary reclassi-
f1cation authority"
In reply, administration officials
say no postal pay raise can be
enacted unless the reclassifica-
ton authority is also contained
in the legislation.
