Zoning Board
Told City Needs
More Arcudes

A proposal to encourage con-
'struction of more arcades' in
Washington was given strong
support at a zoning hearing
today.
Under the proposed coming
revision, the arcade area would
not be deducted from the floor
space permitted for the build
ing.
5 Under the city's current regu-
lations, this arcade area is
subtracted from the permitted
floor space of the building
being constructed.
Organizations supporting the
proposal at today's hearing be-
fore the District Zoning Com
mission included the Washing
ton Building Congress, the
Washington Board of Realtors
iand the Metropolitan Washing
ton Board of Trade.
The proposed zoning changes
were criticized, however, by the
city's Zoning Advisory Council.
Council members said the rec
concentrations needed clarifica-
ton, and that as drawn they
are defective and unavoidable. "
The Progressive Citizens of
Georgetown, represented by
Mrs. Harold B. Hinton, also op-
posed the arcade recommended
tion. The organization opposes
easing the floor area density
formula for buildings.

Anti-BiasLa
Held Needed

An ordinance barring racial
and religious restrictions on
home rentals and sales in
Washington "is the only way to
end this ridiculous discrimina-
tion," Pedro Sanjuan, chief of
the State Departments Special
Protocol Section, said last
night.
Mr.. Sanjuan said Washing
ton should set an example for
Virginia in opening restricted
areas to Negroes. when Wash
ington passes an ordinance,
the people in Virginia will see
that none of their apoplectic
visions of chaos will happen,
he said. Washington is not
going to turn all black. Real
estate values are not going to
plummet. 1t hasn't happened
in Philadelphia or New York"
Although one of his primary
tasks is locating housing for
non-white diplomats in the
Washington area, his problem
is much deeper and more
profound" than obtaining "spe-
cial privileges" for diplomats,
he said.
african diplomats do not
want special privileges" he
said, -They want equality and
dignity"
Mr.. San Juan spoke before
the Fairfax CountyIHuman Re-
lationS Council in Galloway
Methodist Church, Falls Church.
About 40 restaurants on Route
40 have desegregated their ia
cilitieS since Mr.. Sanjuan spear
headed the State Department
drive a year ago, but approx
mately 80 other restaurants
maintain a segregated policy,
he said.
This has to change. We are
not going to have an airlift

The history of censorship is a
history of abuses. Beginning as an
attack on pornography, it tradI-
tionally grows into a passion to
suppress whatever offends the CEN
sor's religious, political, and other
beliefs. Before long, the censorial
fog surrounds art, ideas, and scho-
larship. These patterns, with some
new developments, characterize
recent censorship activities.
A rather curious thing has hap
pened. Smut-hunters have often
bridled their urge out of fear they
would be considered bigots, fanat-
les, or prudes. Now, however, ex-
tremist political groups have an
nounced that obscenity is part of
the communist conspiracy to de-
stroy Americas morals. Incipient
censors, freed from their inhibl-
tons, can indulge their smut
hunting instincts and call it pa
triotism.
That endearing word smut en-
braces all the nuances of such
terms as pornography, obscenity,
and vuIgarity. Some revealing def
initions have been given us THIS
year by censors. Typical OF the
quality of censorship is Mrs. Earl
Oltesvig's definition of pornogra-
ply as "any description of prost;-
tuition or licentious behavior "a
dictionary definition). "On this
basis" the Michigan censor added,
"The Good Earth is definitely por-
biography"
In Texas, a new "obscenity' law
was passed by the state legislature
on June Is, 1861. 1t states that "the
word obscene is d e f i n e d as
whether (sic) to the average per-
son, applying contemporary COM
munity standards, the dominant
theme of the material taken as a
whole appeals to prurient inter
ests."
This definition, an adaptation of
t e current United States SUI
preme Court standard, presents
problems. The terms are far from
legally precise. What precisely is
an average person" and what ara
contemporary community stand
ards? And since it is automatic
that censorship appeals to the
prurient interests of many smut
hunters, could not censorship it
self be banned as obscene?
Presumably, the Supreme Court
made the standard elastic in order
to allow works of serious intent
which contained passages of erotic
realism some freedom from CEN
sorship harassment, while pro-
viding trap for hard-core por-
biography.
Censors, fearing they could not
ban the books they wanted to ban
through due process with this new
law, simply intensified their efforts
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1962-05-17

ITO get he books removed by illegal
or extralegal means. This resulted
in rash of coercive censorship
| that threatens to become oppreSS-
i've. A work not legally removed,
but merely forced off the shelves
by the manipulation of public
opinion, has no legal means to
defend and clear itself. Any private
group can deprive the reading
public at large of any work Or
idea which the private group can
force into disrepute.
No one questions the right of any
group to censor whatever it wishes
for the members of that group, SO
long as such censorship does not
deprive the public of access to the
material, since such material might
be offensive only to some partic-
ular sectarian belief or principle.
But this far cry from current
tactics whereby such groups effec-
lively censor works to the point of
making them unavailable. When
this is ACCOMPLISHED through polio
cooperation by way of preSsures
or threats against booksellers, GEN.
sorship becomes dangerous in
strumentality.
Fears that Texas was moving in
the direction CT censorship without
due process were aggravated when
Henry Miller's Tropic Of Cancer
arrived thirty years late in Dallas
bookstores. Civic leaders and the
police got the book voluntarily"
removed from public sale Charges
of police censorship and book
burning were voiced. So far as
Texas was concerned, this book,
even though it had a large body of
serious critical opinion in its favor,
was condemned without trial.
The Miller book became the
cause celebre of the year. BY June.
1862, Tropic Of Cancer had been
effectively banned from distribu-
ton in over half the country. It's
publisher, Grove Press, had un-
dertaken to defend arrested book
sellers, but there were still some
sixty criminal cases pending.
An issue of great concern is in
volved here. The issue is not
whether Tropic Of Cancer is
masterpiece of American itera-
ture; rather it is whether an au-
thor of Henry Miller's artistic in
tegrity Cor any author, for that
matter) is entitled to the protec-
ions afforded by the Constitution
of the United States.
The book was brought to trial In

County, Illinois. Judge Samuel B.

She was Queen Bee, fed on royal
