Crime Comics

mitted us to quote from his studies re-
| ported in his book Seduction of the
Innocent"
Do you know the difference between
comic books and comic strips? Don't
confuse crime comic books with comic
strips. Comic strips. read by adults
more than by children, appear in news
papers and are censored by 1,5OO edi-
tors who sometimes reject whole Sc
quenceS. There is no such evaluation
of comic book material. Comic strips
are sometimes made into comic books
which carry the same title but with
many undesirable features added
The parent who shrugS and says his
children read only good comics us
ually has not read these books him
self. The average parent has no idea
that every. Imaginable crime-and
many beyond the imagination of any
right-thinking adults described in de-
tail in crime comics.
Do you know that comic books are
big business2 One crime crimic boasts
circulation of six million copies.
Comics have no rival as the greatest
publishing success in history. The
comic book industry crosses an esti-
mated $120 million annually. Crime
comics make up more than SO per
cent of all comics published. They are
the 'best sellers"
It is crime comics which are IN de-
mand for trading" We can't estimate
the number of readers. One crime
comic may be read by dozens of chill
dren before being worn to shreds.
Are there no good comic books? AMI
NAL comics and similar ones which
parents buy for young children account
for less than 10 per cent of all comics
sold.
Do you know how other countries
feel about American crime comics?
England restricts their importation and
sale. Sweden, Holland, Portugal, and
the Union of South Africa ban them by
law. None of the east European coun-
tries, including Russia and East Ger
many, permit crime comics to be dis
played or sold. The United States is
almost the only civilized country which
allows the unrestricted sale of all kinds
of comic books.
French teachers plead with us not
to put comic books in boxes sent to
French children. They say children
there are beginning to think of America
as country of gangsters and robbers.
Do you know what American military
think of our crime and war
comics? The Pacific Fleet command
has banned the sale of war comics in
ships stores because 'sthey were too
cory for the American sailor" Military
authorities question comic books be-
cause ''they go beyond the line of
iecency." Military authorities are try
ng to protect our soldiers and sailors
rom the kind of material which most
communities sell to young children!
What can you do about crime comics?
read a number of these books which
ire on sale in your own community.
Decide il they are what you want for
,our children and their friends. Do not
overlook the advertisements. Know
What your children are reading at home
md at play.

a cigarette was the cause. The
fire was confined to Mrs. Spence's

PIun for Broadcast
Denied by Hoqerty
BY a Star stan Correspondent

GETTYSBURG, Pa, Dec. To-
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty today branded
completely false" a published
report that the White House Is
exploring the idea of arranging
for President Eisenhower to
broadcast his State of the Union
message to Congress next month.
Mr.. Hagerty added that such
arrangements would fall in his
department, and he knows that
there has been mo discussion Of
any such thing"
He said no decision has been
made yet on whether the Pres
ident will deliver his State of the
Union message in person or send
it to Congress to have 1t read for
him. In view of his doctors
showdown orders, 1t is not con-
sidered likely that he will de-
liver the message in person.

Aquatic Gardens at Kennilworth
win be opened for ice skating
tomorrow.
Although temperatures will rise
above freezing tomorrow after
noon, the pond may be opened
as long as possible If the ice IL
thick enough.
However. 1t would require two
more nights as cold as last nigh,
to freeze the Rejecting Pool hard
enough for skating. 1t measured
I1R inches early today. It must
be 8 inches before park officials
will allow skating.
Although today's "warmest'
temperature was not expected to
exceed the freezing mark, fair
skies gave Christmas shoppers
"a break. More Of the same was
forecast for tomorrow, with a
temperature rise to perhaps 40
degrees.

Recommendation for an air
port at Burke, Va, faces stronger
opposition now than it did be-
fore Congress stifled the project
IA year ago. 1t was indicated to-
day.
Proposal to build Washing
tons second airport on the Vir-
ginia site undoubtedly will be
uppermost in report which
the Commerce Department and

tration will submit to the next
session Of Congress.
Eleven possible sites are con-
tanned In the report, which was
called for by Chairman Magnu-
son of the Senate Commerce
committee. Six are in Mary
land and five in Virginia. Some
are existing airports, but the
top recommendation is expected
to be for Burke.
Byrd Voices Disapproval
The Maryland congressional
delegation, headed by Senator
Butler, Republican, has fought
the Burke idea from the outset
by using a single argument
Baltimore's Friendship Interna-
tional Airport.

Senate Unit Opposes
Loudoun PEpCO Site
Sees Danger
Of PoIIutinq
WoterSuppIy
By DON S. WARREN

A special subcommittee of the
Senate District Committee today
declared the Potomac Electric
Power Co. should not build its
proposed 500 million new steam
generating plant on site in
Loudoun County. Va. few miles
above Great Falls.
A unanimous report by the
ithree-mar subcommittee, headed
lby Senator Morse, Democrat Of
Oregon, suggested the company
could and should find a better
lsite either farther upstream or
below Washington. The group
raised the fear that development
of the big plant SO near to WASH
Iington intake for its water sup
lply would cause further hazards
ito the city water supply due to
/ what it believed would be the in
eyitable further industrialization
of the area.
The subcommittee took this
stand although 1t agreed that all
experts testifying at recent Sem
late hearings seemed agreed that
the PEPCO plant itself would
cause no trouble as to taste,
odor. drinkability or the quality
LOT Washington's water supply.
The Senate group added. how
ever. that. it feared this plant
would serve as a "bellwether"
for further industrialization in
Loudoun County that might.

Serving with Senator Morse
on the special subcommittee are

of Michigan and Maryland's Re-
publican Senator Beall.

are in abeyance. largely due to
the Senate Inquiry. Just what
legal effect the subcommittee re-
port might have nthe final de-
1cision was not spelled out.
/ There was the thought on
capitol Hill, however, that the
Unanimous recommendations Of
1.-The Morse subcommittee would
Ibe very seriously considered.
The subcommittee carefully
avoided taking any side in the
contest between Maryland and
Virginia spokesman as to where
the plant should be. The report
concerned itself only with the
long range question of the effect
on the Washington water sup
Iply.

that one up today:
Il am strictly opposed to" an
airport at Burke, he said.
Add to this the alrnost-certain
Opposition of the Fairfax Coun-
Ity Board Of Supervisors, which
will have its first meeting as a
virtually new Board on January
"A.
Senator Buffers position is
simply that Friendship Airport
couldn't be replaced for $50 mil
lion-why build another?"
Representative Broyhill is cur
rently conducting poll by mail
of Fairfax County residents on
the Burke situation. In a cover
ing letter, he announced that
while he has not changed his
Opposition. he is maintaining an
open mind.

Thus far, with less than 10, 900
of the $4,000 ballots" back in
his Office. the vote favored the
Burke site, 4.654 to 3,511, and
1877 had mo opinion"
His Office expects to give the
residents another two weeks to
express their opinions.
They may not be interested
now" a spokesman for Mr.. Broy-
hin said today, but when the
airport starts and the jets are
making them hide under the
bed and interfering with their
Itelevision reception. they'll be
interested sure enough"
The official opposition on Capt.
toll Hill expects to gather
strength, too, from members of
Congress who may feel that If
Northern Virginia doesn't want
such en- airport, why push it on
them?
Some diminishing of opposi-
ton has been reported from Fair
fax County business interests,
aside from real estate. The Gov
eminent has bought 1000 acres
on the site and has 5000 more

ings, but the movement stalled
when the last session of Con-
gress refused to appropriate any
