On Obscenity
In Mails Set

Sentencing Of two men here
on obscene mail charges has
been cited by Postmaster Gen.
eral Day as a harbinger of "the
toughest breakdown ever con-
Quoted" against such activ-
tiles.
Herman L. Womack, 80, q
former philosophy professor,
yesterday was given a four to
12-month jail sentence on his
plea of guilty to charges Of
conspiring to send obscene
advertisements and pictures
through the mail.
Alfred j. Heinecke Of bake-
wood, N. j., was sentenced to
serve is months to three years
for violating laws barring lewd
matter from the mails.
Sentenced by HOltzoff
The two men were sentenced
by District Court Judge Alex
ander Holtzoff. Womack had
pleaded guilty earlier this month
after the United States Court
Of Appeals affirmed his con-
viction last March on similar
charges.
OF the new drive against
mailed obscenity, the Post
master General said, "Our ap-
proach will be that used by
the Federal Bureau Of 1nves-
tigation and other highly sue
cessful law enforcement agen-
cies in that our drive will be
conducted without fanfare.
Our public statements on
the pornography program will
largely be confined to COM
ments on actual results

tanned.
Mental Illness Claimed
Judge Holtzoff sentenced Wo-
mack after turning down q mo-
ton by Attorney Hugh MCGEE
to withdraw the guilty plea on
grounds Womack is suffering
from Q mental illness and does
not know what he is doing.
To bring up the issue of in
sanity at this late date is "trif-
ling with the court" the judge
said.
Womack has been In jail
since December 81, serving q
one to three year Jail term on
the charges of last March.

How Appointments Are Made
The law sets forth how County

lccted and served. Each county
board has seven members. One
member of the seven is County

The other six members of the

the sense that its decisions are
not weighted by political affilia-
ton There is no intention that

rcntly interested in having the

lated services understood by all

quests to have the program dis
cusscd before civic, service, re-
iigious, fraternal labor, and farm
groups will be received and every
effort made to provide the kind
of information or material or

An Anti-SIun1 Code

County officials and a citi-
zenS' committee have been try
in for a year and a half to get
the code adopted in order to
eliminate the estimated 1,500
substandard dwellings in the
county.
Supervisors have heard a
number Of proposals for pro-
viding low-coSt private housing
to those evicted from Slums,
but have not yet taken action
in that direction.
The code adopted yesterday
would enable the county to
qualify for Federal assistance
to private developers or to a
publicly supported program.
Several speakers asked that
the code contain a provision
restricting eviction of families
to those eases where other
suitable housing could be found.
Instead, the supervisors ad-
ded a clause permitting the
health director and the HouS-
ing Hygiene Board to permit
less THAI full compliance in
hardship cases.
The code, effective Septem-
ber l, sets up minimum re-
quirementS for ventilation,
heating, plumbing and con-
struction standards for owner
and rentor occupied dwellings.

PHILADELPHIA, June Is
The head of the National Capt.
tai Transportation Agency to-
day joined this city's thou
sands of rapid rail commuters
during the rush hour, rode on
a streamlined subway and then
found out how much improved
transit is costing the city
treasury.
c. Darwin Stolzenbach, chief
of the agency set up to develop
a mass transit system for the
District area, started a two-day
tour of Philadelphia transpor-
tation facilities accompanied
by his top aides.
He found that Philadelphia
is pleased with its program of
subsidizing rail commuter serv-
ices as the city's main hope of
avoiding additional freeways.
Rail Subsidies
This is what city officials
told him they are doing to
perk up commuter railroad and
subway services:
/. Providing a subsidy OF
about SIS million a year to the
Pennsylvania & Reading Rail-
road lines to offset deficits on
six commuter routes.
At the same time, fares on
these six subsidized routes have
