BY w. n. SCARBOROUGH
We are slowly becoming accus-
toned to the periodic resurrection
Of books which have, or are be-
ing. termed obscene. In 1853, Lady
Chatterly's venerable lover be-
came a respectable citizen. His
new-won acceptance encouraged
a little vixen named Lolita to seek
public favor, The Tropics Of Hen
ry Miller were newly explored,
mapped and found to contain more
steam than heat. This year Fan
NY Hills a rollicking old bawd
from 18th Century England, made
a genuine pitch for respectability,
and only" New York society
seemed prone to say her nay.
Perhaps it is a reaction con-
fined to a very few, but these
books after a bit Of reflection
seem completely inadequate as to
the task Of wrecking public norali.
ty. There just isn't much for
the prurient interest to feed on.
The books are either too dull,
too literate. or too transcendant-
" well-written to be pornography.
D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatter
ly is, due to its publication, a BIT
nearer being eyaluated as a seri-
GUS book and it has been seen
as a work that neither adds to J
LaWrence'S stature as a novel
ist nor makes him out a porno-
grapher It proves once more
that to be explicit is often to
destroy appeal-Something burles-
que dancers have known for
years. Henry Miller and his pro-
tege, William Burroughs, have
demonstrated a moral sense as
fearsome as that of their CEN
sors; they have made a grotes-
querie of sex and of reality. What
book can possibly be pornographic
if it destroys any appeal that
attaches to its subject? Vladimir
Nabokov's Lolita" was as po-
tentially conbustible as any Of
the above, which is to say, not
at all. Despite its theme, "Lolita"
has not accelerated the moral
decay of the nation.
II any Of the recent publications
could be termed obscene, it IS
perhaps Fanny Hill." or The
Memoirs Of a Woman of Pleas
ure," which has enjoyed an al
ternate under-above-gound circu-
lation for over 200 years. But
alas, Fanny Hill in broad day
light is an innocuous curio whose
appeal is based on her previous
unavailability.
If these books are not obscene
and most Of them have been
declared innocent by courts-wi1at
about them created a furor in
the first place? English critic
Alec Craig contends that OBJ
seenity is a concept that fills
void in society's arsenal Of
mechaniSms for controlling the
individual. Books have been
threat to established order be-
cause they communicate with dur
able effect; they give the author
ability to wreak change in his
environment, to question the au-
thority under which he lives.

said their own stand had been

To assist in the promotion of

Humorous
Talk Heard
By Realtors

by ReaHOrS
Realtors take their profession
seriously, but not so seriously
that they cannot laugh on oc-
casion at the foibles of their
trade.
Proof of this came at the
Montgomery County Board of
Realtors luncheon held at the
Kenwood Country Club last
week. Attending the affair
which eliminated the celebra.
ton of National Realtors Week,
were some Is realtors and their
guests, leaders of local civic
associations throughout the
County.
After-dinner speaker, William
A. holster, director of market
ing for the National Associa-
ton of Home Builders, informed
his audience that he would out.
line II salient factors which
motivate the purchasers of new
homes. While quite intent in
his purpose, holsters anecdotal
oratory evoked appreciative
laughter from the realtors who
were obviously enjoying a
glimpse of themselves and their
clients in comic relief.
For instance, Mr.. Molster
dealt with the Saturday to Tues
day home seeker in this way.
Mr.. and Mrs. Prospective Home
Owner decide to buy a home
over the weekend. But, on Tues
day, they arrive with the fam
lily housekeeping sage, Uncle
Joe, whose claim to expertise
rests on a high school course
in shop. IF Uncle Joe says no"
mourned Molster, "the deal is
off," holsters moral: Keep that
couple away from Uncle joel"
Then there are those who buy
homes to flee the landlord. Prob
ably the second worst villain in
history, Molster judged. He de.
clined to commit himself on
history's first-place villain,
however.
Still another factor influenc.
ing new home owners, Molster
said, was the reputation of the
builder and realtor. you've
just got to give them wall-to-
wall floors, nowadays, nothing
less" he quipped.
Last, but most important,
Molster stated, is the status
symbol which owning a home
represents. Pointing out that
he, too, owns a home, he ioked.
"Sixty-five percent of all home
owners are snobs. Snobs,
why that's just a four-flusher
with money"
Striking an earnest note.
Molster concluded by remind
ing the realtors of the impor-
lance of their function-enabI.
ing people to buy a portion of
America. Unable to resist one
parting jest, he recalled a viii
Rogers aphorism, Land.
Why, they're just not making
that any more. ,"
Sharing the podium with
Molster was Adolph Rohland,
past president of the County
Board of Realtors and currently
on the professional standards
committee of the National AS.
ISOLATION of Real Estate Boards.
Speaking on What 1t Means
To Be A Realtor," Rohland
turned to key provisions of the
National Real Estate Boards
Code of Ethics.
Specifically, the Code, to
which all realtors must sub
scribe, recognizes the realtors
grave responsibility to the com.
munity and the nation. AS such,
realtors are bound to ethical
and moral considerations which
go beyond the guidelines of
everyday business procedures
or legal requirements, he said.

Rights and the Folly of Walls

This decision of 1918 is
still the law. 1t has been all
through the ensuing years. A
citizen may buy what is Of
fered for sale If he has the
price.
In l948, in Shelly VS.,
Kramer, the United States
Supreme Court refused to
enforce a covenant that prop
erty should not be used or
occupied by any person except
those Of the Caucasian race.
tThis was we'll before Mr..
Kennedy and was by a court
other than the one now sit
tingD The court held that.
the agreement did not violate
the Fourteenth Amendment,
as that amendment is di-
rected against State acts. The
court did hold that State
courts could not enforce such
a restrictive covenant. To do
so would violate the Four
teenth Amendment which
guarantees nothing radical at
all-merely the equal protec-
ton of the law. Ut is odd
how uniformed persons be-
labor so necessary a consti-
tutional provision-the equal
protection of law
At any rate, the law all
along has said that If a man
has a piece of property he
may sell it to a purchaser
who has the price. Barriers
will not change that. Cove
nants are not legal contracts.
