The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1958-03-13
By Walter Gellhorn

A sharply divided Supreme
Court in June, 1857, decided that
'obscenity is not within the
area of constitutionally protected
speech or press" 1t was a deci
sion that went virtually unnotic-
ed.
Justice Harlan criticized the
majority opinion written by JUS
tice Brennan because it seems
to assume that obscenity is a
peculiar genus of speech and
press, which is as distinct, re-
cognizable, and classifiable as
poison ivy is among plants.
Harlan thought the assumption
somewhat far-fetched.
According to Justice Brennan,
the constitutional freedom of ex-
preston extends only to ideas
having even the slightest re-
deeming social Importance. F" COB
scenity," he said, was not that
stamp - as witness, among other
things, ''the universal judgment
that obscenity should be restrain
ed, reflected in the international
agreement of over fifty nations"
The Courts opinion does not
note, however, that this fifty
nation agreement has been en-
tirely imperative throughout it's
thirty-five years of existence be-
cause the nations delegates cam
not agree upon what is obscene.
To be obscene, the Court says,
material must appeal to ''pru-
rient interest" - which, as a
footnote explains, means that it
must have "a tendency to excite
lustful thoughts" And the test
to be utilized is whether to the
average person, applying contem-
porary community standards,
the dominant theme of the mat
erial taken as a whole appeals
to prurient interests" Applica-
ton of this test, the majority be-
lieves, can safely be left to
jurors, who are enthusiastically
average persons" able to esti-
mate the contemporary commu-
nifty standards" and even to
judges and administrators, who
are assumed to have their fingers
on the pulse of community pru-
rience.
The record of the past gives
little if any reinforcement to the
Courts clam optimism. Guilt
ver's Travels, Prometheus I'm
bound, The Scarlet Letter, Lea
YES of Grass, Tess of the Dur
bervilles, and The Kreutzer So
nata are among the many merit
orious works that have been
censorially suppressed. Erskine
Caldwell's Gods Little Acre
now on its way to motion picture
exhibition, is deemed obscene in
Massachusetts and Colorado
though not in Pennsylvania and
New York; Edmund Wilson's
Memoirs of Hecate County is an
obscenity in New York and, il
not a work of art, at least pass
able writing elsewhere. Ernest
Hemingway, William Faulkner
James Joyce, Sinclair Lewis, Eu'
gene O'Neill, John Dos Passos
Erich Maria Remarque and many
other contemporary writes o
+ some distinction are deemed
photographers in one or more o
the American states.
Much of the support for cen
sorship derives from a widel,
held belief that reading is likel,
to be reflected in behavior Tn
admittedly incomplete scientifi
evidence now at hand suggest
quite the contrary. Extensive

at hand
On Monday evening, Dec. %
