Introduces Bill
To Ban All
Obscene Matter

WASHINGTON-A bill design
ed to clamp an absolute ban on
obscene material of all types
has been introduced in the
House by Rep. Elmer ]. Holland
of Pennsylvania.
Labeled H.R. 11190, it would
impose broader and more rigid
restrictions than any other meas
ure of its type, Rep. Holland
said.
At present, Section 1465 of
the us. Penal Code prohibits
transportation of obscene ma
terials through the mails. The
Holland bill would extend the
coverage to apply to all types
Of transportation-rail, air, pri-
vate Garland would make the
ban include the manufacture,
distribution and sale of obscene
materials, the legislator said.
For example, the bill would
apply Ito obscene articles when
any of their parts-paper, wood
glass or other material-were
manufactured in another state,
1t is this phrasing that makes
the bill alright, Rep. Holland
said.
One of the most controversial
aspects of the Holland bill is
that it would carry Federal en-
forcement efforts to the news
stands, it was stated.

"A lot of people are thought
