LAW IN ACTION GOVERNMENT AGENCIES Our government works through three basic departments in a system of checks and balances! The legislative makes this law; the executive carries it out; and the judicial interprets it, but with some overlap no matter how we try to separate the three powers. Many people believe the government's creative powers lie with the law makers—the Congress in Washington and the Legislature in Sacramento. The Legislature cannot give up its power to others, but it can give boards and agencies discretion to make rules and handle affairs within the limits set by the law. A board cannot make any rules it wants, but must meet the clear test set for the agencies or officers to carry out the Legislature' purpose. In making regulations, a board may get power to "fill in the details" to make the law work out as the Legislature meant it to. Note: California lawyers offer this column so you may know about our laws. For example, the Vehicle code sets forth how one should operate a car, and the Department of Motor Vehicles fills in the details by rules left out of the code. The same is true for most other boards and agencies such as the Medical Board; Federal Communications Commission; Internal Revenue; Franchise Tax Board; or National Labor Relations Board.

Note: This is the fourth in a current series of articles published in the public interest on the growing menace of obscene mail, and what can be done about it.) A four-fold program of action by the United States Post Office Department, aimed at stamping out the giant mail order obscenity racket, was reported here today by Anaheim Postmaster Marshall N. McFie. Under the leadership of Postmaster General Arthur B. Summerfield, he said, local postal officials throughout the country are cooperating in carrying out a highly intensified drive against this "vicious misuse of the mails." The Post Office program is: 1. To draw maximum public attention to the menace of this racket. 2. To urge parents to help apprehend the mailers or filth to their children. 3. To help mobilize community support behind adequate law enforcement of local ordinance or state laws when these purveyors are apprehended and brought to court. 4. To rally public opinion behind new and stiffer legislation on obscenity. Coupled with this program for gaining public and legislative cooperation, the Post Office is greatly enlarging its efforts to apprehend mailers of obscene materials and, where ever possible, to bar their use of the mails or bring about their prosecution. Postmaster McFie reported that highly encouraging progress has been made in bringing attention to the growing menace of the obscenity racket. Postmaster General Summerfield has expressed deep gratification for the interest that newspaper publishers and editors, and leaders of national organizations and civic groups, have shown in advising parents and the public generally of the growing mail order obscenity menace and telling them how they can help eliminate it. Postmaster McFie stated that parents can give specific and much needed assistance by reporting immediately to the local postmaster any receipt of obscene or pornographic literature addressed to their children. He stressed the importance of saving both the material and the envelope and of either bringing these items to the postmaster's office or mailing them to him. This cooperation by parents, he emphasized, "since the post office itself never opens first class mail, we must depend upon the citizens into whose homes pornographic material is sent to provide the information that will enable us to apprehend the senders." He also pointed out that the number and nature of public complaints may bear importantly on the decisions of prosecutors and courts, and the Post Office consequently is anxious to receive the greatest possible number of complaints involving any single mailer of pornographic materials. Under a federal law passed by Congress and signed by President Eisenhower last year, smut dealers can now be prosecuted in the communities where their obscenity is received. "It is especially important therefore," he said, "that thezens of any community insist on adequate law enforcement local ordinances and state which allow the affixing of minimum jail sentences and fines on conviction." Postmaster General Summerfield is cooperating closely with the Congress, he said, and of Congress have shown concern over the mail order obscenity problem. A House Office subcommittee is currently studying the problem with regard to recommendations for more effective federal legislation. "I believe that much good come from these hearings," Postmaster General said, urging all parents and citizen want to bring these bane obscenity to justice to let elected representatives know their views. "This monstrous assault nation's children is an act and defiant challenge to the erican people. I have co faith that, once our people properly aware of the terrific nature and scope of this chase it will be firmly and succeed met."
