Court Decision

Radio, N.C.W.C. News Service)
VATICAN CITY - Italy's Con-
stitutionaI Court has ruled In ia
vor Of the American-backed Prot
estant Church of Christ in three
year dispute over its wish to post
signs outside its places of wor-
ship.
The court declared unconsti-
tutional Article lib of the Italian
Constitution, which required DO
lice permission for the posting of
signs in public places.
The courts decision against
controversial Article 113 did not
mention the Church of Christ by
name, but that religious group
was prominent among the 80
against whom complaints had
been lodged as violators of the
article.
According to Article 113 au-
thorization from police authori-
ties had to be obtained by those
who wanted to distribute notices
or printed matter in public thor
oughfares, post notices on public
billboards or use loud-speakers
to address the public. The article
was incorporated into law in 1881
during the Fascist era, apparent
ly for political motives.

Toledo Colunnist
Advises Against
Sunday Business

TOLEDO, Ohio - NC) - I'm
ion members in this area have
been asked not to patronize su.
permarkets which do business on
Sundays.
This appeal was made by Rich.
ard T. Gosser, a vice-president OF
the United Auto Workers-CIO
in his column in the Toledo I'm.
ion Journal. He wrote:
II want TO urge every
good union member as strong.
iy rs ] know how TO stay away
from these large food chain
stores on Sunday. Further, I
think that If we do our business
al other times in those stores
that stay closed Sunday. we
will accomplish our mission
that much sooner"
The union leader said higher
rates for Sunday work has beer
pushed by the UAW rather as Z
punitive means of dealing with
the matter. The union motive, he
said, has been to make Sunday
work too expensive for the EN-
ployer.

Court Approves
Nudist Magnzines

WASHINGTON - NC) - The
U. S. Court of Appeals here has
ruled that the Post Office Depart
ment failed 'to weigh the mater.
iai considere d Objectionable
against the rest of the contents
when it barred two issues of
nudist magazines from the mails
on the grounds of obscenity.
In a 2 to l ruling which re-
versed a finding of the District
Court, the appellate court also
said the department interfered
with freedom of the press when,
without first holding a hearing,
it refused to handle the maga-
zines.
Judge George T. Washington,
who spoke for himself and Chief
Judge Henry w. Edgerton in the
majority opinion, declared the
departments ban invalid and sent
the case back to District Court
with instructions to issue an in.
junction permanently restraining
the enforcement of the depart
ment's order.
The dissenfer in the case,
Judge John A. Danaher, said
the exhibits presented in court
"were obscene by any standard,
in my judgement"
Judge Danaher disagreed with
his colleagues in their contention
that improper standards" were
used in finding the magazines
obscene and indecent. The major
ity said the publications we're not
considered "as a whole" but that
the ban was based on the illustra-
tions. Nothing Objectionable was
found in the text.
Judge Danaher said the char.
acter of the magazines is deter.
mined by their dominant effect.
He said the postal authorities lack
of reference to the text was par.
donable because the text "is SO
completely subordinate to the
more dominant photographs"

New Jersey
Allows Sunday
Auto Sales

NEWARK, NJ. - NC) The
Appellate Division of the New
Jersey Supreme Court in Trenton
has refused to reinstate tempo
rarily law banning sale of auto
mobiles on Sundays.
A few weeks ago Superior
Court Judge Howard Ewart had
declared the law unconstitutional,
calling it discriminatory. Deputy
Attorney General John F. Crane
had asked the Appellate Division
to issue a stay of Judge Ewart's
judgment, pending an appeal of
the decision.
The effect of the stay would
have been to keep the ban on
Sunday car sales in effect until
the appeal is heard by the court,
which would probably be next
fall. But the appellate tribunal
declined to grant the stay.
