It is shocking to realize," The Postmaster General also pointed out that juvenile delinquency and the distribution of pornographic materials have been growing in parallel. A Senate committee has reported that one of every five boys in the nation, from ages 10 to 17, has been taken into court on a juvenile delinquency charge. In investigation of armed robbery, extortion, embezzlement, and forgery, authorities often find that those guilty were early collectors often find that those guilty were early collectors of obscene pictures and films, Postmaster McFie said. "And," he added, "it is well known that almost all sex criminals prove to have a long record of obsession with pornographic and sadistic material.

WAGED LEGISLATION The Post Office in recent years urged legislation which would permit prosecution not only at the point of mailing of obscene material, but in the communities where it is received—where, as Postmaster General Summerfield has put it, "the real damage is done, and where citizens have an opportunity to express their standards of morality and decency." Such legislation was passed by the 85th Congress and signed by President Eisenhower last year. The Post Office Department, McFie said, is determined to use this new weapon to the fullest possible extent. It has already assisted in apprehending and prosecuting dealers in obscenity such as a couple — a man and his wife—who recently received a ten-year prison sentence in Boise, Idaho, following mailings made from California and Oregon. To make full use of the new law, however, the Post Office Site Okayed The city Planning Commission has approved four new school sites for the Anaheim Union High School District. The district has requested the sites at La Palma, west of Euclid; Cerritos, east of Euclid; Lincoln and Dale; Cerritos, west of Walnut. Three were for high schools and the fourth for a junior high.
