HEIM STORE, Broadway-Orange County Shopping Center, between Euclid and Loara ... just off Public Support Sought to Take Smut from Mails (Ed. Note: This is the first of two articles published in the public interest on the growing threat of obscene mail, and what can be done about it. Today, we explain the serious dimensions of this problem. The next article, which will follow soon, will tell what can be done about it.) Postmaster Marshall N. McFle appealed for public support today in the intensified war Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield has declared on the "ruthless mail order merchants in flth who are violating the homes of the nation in defiance of national government." Using one of the nation's most cherished privileges to carry on their smutty trade — the uncensored letter — "barons of obscenity" today are sending unordered lewd materials into our mail boxes, much of it directed to teenage youngsters, Postmaster McFle explained. The materials offered for sale include filthy films and books, and dirty pictures, slides and related filth, advertised in highly objectionable circulars that are being sent indiscriminately to homes here and all over the nation, he said. $500,000,000 is being taken in annually by large mail order dealers in pornography and obscenity. Postal authorities in Anaheim, as well as those over the nation, receive complaints from many groups. Nationally, complaints are reported from leading clergymen. $500,000,000 is being taken in annually by large mail order dealers in pornography and obscenity. Postal authorities in Anahelm, as well as those over the nation, receive complaints from many groups. Nationally, complaints are reported from leading clergymen, school groups, newspaper editors and alarmed parents. During a recent 12-month period postal inspectors conducted 4,000 investigations on obscene and pornographic mail and caused the arrest of 293 persons dealing in this filth. This is an increase of 45 percent over the previous year, and an all-time high. Moreover, the threat is increasing. Invading Homes Indicative of the extensive operations of the filth factories that are invading the homes of the nation with their suggestive advertisements and dirty materials. McFie noted that within the past few weeks simultaneous raids by U.S. Marshals and Postal Inspectors in New York City resulted in seizure of 15 tons of dirty films, slides, photographs and other smut, and a maffling list, used nationally, containing 1,000,000 names. Another raid in recent days yielded huge quantities of filth from the premises of a Santa Monica, California, dealer in especially objectionable films and photographs. "No longer do dealers in smut surreptitiously serve only a few adults," the local postmaster explained. "They brazenly solicit our children, sending their material indiscriminately and without conscience into our home mail boxes." "For example," McFie noted, "the Postmaster General has advised me of cases where teenagers wrote away for auto parts and received later "sex instructions" advertisements; of new graduating classes whose names were taken from newspapers by filth merchants who circularized every member of the class; of youngsters who wrote in for model airplane catalogs, or a set of stamps, and later received materials on films portraying sex and perversion." Complaints are also being received in increasing numbers over the nation involving solicitation from filth factories of innocent teenage girls, housewives, and even Cub Scouts, the postmaster noted. "The Post Office Department is diligently trying to clean up the mails." Postmaster General Sum- The Post Office Department is diligently trying to clean up the mails," Postmaster General Summerfield explained recently to Congress, which is considering new measures to deal with this growing national threat. "But, Summerfield added, "the Post Office Department has been subjected frequently to attack and ridicule by those who hope to profit personally from unrestricted mailings, or by those who — confusing liberty with license — unwittingly give them assistance." Two Reasons "There appears to be two basic reasons for the increasing volume of filth in the mails," he continued. "First, the tremendous profits that are realized from a relatively small capital investment, and, secondly, the very broad definition of obscenity handed down by certain courts — including those in certain Metropolitan Areas — notably Los Angeles and New York." These rulings, he concluded, "have established virtual sanctuaries." From these sanctuaries, he explained, filth dealers have operated with impunity in developing their huge business in filth, flooding this community and others with materials which constitute "one of the most serious moral and social problems in the United States today."
