Supreme Court Rules Sex,
Obscenity Not Synonymous
By PAUL M. YOST
WASHINGTON Ufi The Su
picnic Court, citing a June deci
sion which said sex and obscenity
are not synonymous, has ruled
against a Chicago ban on a French
movie, "The Game of Love."
Unanimously, the high tribunal
overturned Tuesday a decision by
the U. S. Circuit court in Chicago
that had approved the ban. The
Supreme Court's action, taken in
a brief, unsigned order without
the usual hearing of arguments,
was in line with decisions of re
cent years limiting film censor
ship. A Chicago ordinance requires
censorship of. movies before their
fiublic showing. If the Chicago l'o
ice Board finds films immoral or
obscene their exhibition may be
prohibited.
Distributor Attacked Ban
Times Film Corp., distributor
of "The Game of Love," in at
tacking the ban,' stressed artistic
merits of the film and said it had
been shown in more than 150 cities
in this country.
Felix J. Bilgrcy, the company's
attorney, said in New York, Tues
day the court's ruling "may spell
the end of censorship of the con
tent of motion pictures." As far
as censorship is concerned, he

tinnal phase of the meeting, Judge
Woodrich, who had contacted al
most all organizations in the conn
Iv. indicated that the iuvenilo de
linquoncy problem is becoming
more acute each year. Ho said the
magnitude of the problem is in
dicated in the county by the 319
delinquency cases remanded or pe
titioned into juvenile court last
year. He then briefly outlined Iho
history and functions of the ju
venile court.
Judge Woodrich said it will be
the duty of the advisory council
to help the juvenile department in
formulating ways of prevention of
delinquency and rehabilitation of
young offenders. The council will
also serve as a laiason group be
tween the court and the commun
ities of the county.
Lawyer Speaks
Featured speaker for Hie eve
ning was Ralph F. Cobb, a Eu
gene lawyer and long-time mem
ber of the Lane County Juvenile
Council. He gave an outline of the
work of the council and told proud
ly of the goals the council had
achieved. Included among these
goals were construction of a new
detention home for juveniles and
an adequate budget for the ju
venile department.
As a final act of the evening, a
rail was made by Chairman Davis
of the new council to organisations

In Chicago. Police Commission
er Timothy J. O'Connor said:
"I still think the movie shouldn't

in the matter. The law is the law."
Refers To Decision
In overturning the circuit court,
the Supreme Court referred tu the
June 24 decision which involcd ob
scene literature. The June deci
sion was that federal and state
governments may outlaw obscene
material.
Such material was defined as
that which "deals with sex in a
manner appealing to the prurient
interest," that is. "having, a ten
dency to excite lustful thoughts."
But the June opinion, written
by Justice Brennan, explained
further:
"The portrayal of sex. e. g., in
art, literature and scientific
works, is not itself a sufficient
reason to deny material the con
stitutional protection of freedom
of speech and press. .

Soil Conservation
Report Presented
To Kiwanis Club
A ronort on soil conservation
i was presented to the Itoseburg Ki-
wanis Club Tuesday by Les Daven
port, area conservationist from
Grants Pass, during the club's an
nual Farmer Guest Day, held at
the Hotel Umpqua.
Davenport outlined the develop
ment of the present soil conser
vation agency and its work toward
helping farmers acquire maximum
utilization from their land.
A motion picture, "Planning to
Prosper," traced the work of soil
conservation and the savings and
profit which it has reaped for the
farm population of the country.
Davenport described the work of
the soil conservation office as one
of, first offering methods to the
farmer of getting soil on the
ground and eliminating the loss of
soil by erosion and water. The of
fice also provides information aft
er designating types of soil in the
different districts.
Other steps in formulating a soil
conservation district include or
ganizing hearings, petitions for a
hearing and an election by the
people in the district.
"Our program is based on tech
nical assistance to help the farm
er lay out a plan for the ground,"
Davenport said.
The basic steps by which t h e
soil conservation district helps the
farmer are to first conduct a soil
survey and determine the lav of
the land. Then to help him plan
for the use of the land on his
property.
These practices are determined
In save the farmer money and to
help save the nation's top soil, "a
third of which has been already
lost because of our failure to do
something about it earlier," Dav
enport said.
Officers Seek

LOS ANGELES I Sheriff's
deputies acknowledged today that
they have no definite clues to the

Some Hope Setn
However, there is a ray of hope
in the fact that several Senate
Republicans favor a settlement at
20 per cent.
Doolcy said the Legislature
should adjourn without any tax
reduction rather than accept tho
Republican demands. But Sen.
Warren Gill. Lebanon. Senate
Republican leader, said "the
Democrats want to run away
when they can't find an ea.-.y

Senate memhers of the confer

l.owry told the House conferees
that if the House negotiators were
given a free hand, then the Re
publicans would make a new pro
posal. It was learned later that
this offer would be 25 per cent.
Jonas and Barton read a state
ment that the Republicans "have
been practicing deceit and have
deliberately stalled and deceived
us. Musa replied that the state
ment reduced things to a "shame

Cement Industry
Urges Concrete
Use For Highways
The Cement Industry of Oregon,
seeking to encourage use of con
crete in highway construction, has
made gains in its presentations, ac
cording to Dick Montgomery Jr.,
Portland, public relations repre
sentative for the industry associa
tion. Montgomery spent Tuesday
in Roseburg meeting with persons
influential to the campaign.
Although Oregon has a large con
crete industry, comparatively lit
tle concrete has been used in high
way construction in recent years,
Montgomery reports. Asphalt has
been used almost exclusively in
highway surfacing, he said.
Studies, the industry claims,
show that while concrete highways
have a slightly higher original cost,
maintenance costs are far lower
than on asphalt roads. Oregon will
be building many miles of super
highway under the federal aid pro
gram, in which the federal govern
ment will participate in construc
tion, but Oregon will be required
to assume all maintenance. Thus
the state will benefit over the
years by surfacing with concrete
wherever conditions permit, Mont
gomery contends.
To promote use of concrete, the
various cement concerns doing
business in the state have organ
ized a cooperative campaign to
present their data to the highway
commission. That the campaign is
showing results is evidenced by
the fact that the state highway en
gineer recently was authorized to
surface two new sections of high
way with concrete, the first con
crete pavement to be laid In Ore

Federal Agent Says Mafia
Operating In New York City
WASHINGTON in A federal
agent testified Wednesday the
Mafia, notorious criminal secret
society, has moved in on New
York's garbage collection rackets.
Joseph Amato, head of a special
Investigating squad in the Federal
Narcotics Bureau, also told the
Senate Rackets Investigating Com
mittee that Vincent J. Squillante.
whom the committee has named
as a kingpin in the garbage rack
et, is "an important figure," in
the Mafia.
"He is considered by me and
my office as a major source of
supply for narcotics as well as
being a prominent racketeer,"
Amato said.
Sen. Ives (R-NY) asked whether
Amato had heard testimony that
linked the name of Squillante with

of the commission's action of
taking the land without buying it.
First, a year ago, Robert, two
brothers and a cousin barricaded
the highway.
After piling up long lines of
traffic and making their point, the
clan members took down the block
ade and started muttering about
making Stumbo Strip into a toll
road with assorted tolls for dif
ferent conveyances and livestock.
This scheme was dropped in favor
of the subdivision.
Association Impatiant
While legal manuevers dragged
on in circuit court, members of
the Southern Douglas County High
way Assn. became impatient and
instructed an officer to file a com
plaint against Stumbo. A com
plaint signed by Lee Altendorff,
secretary, and a warrant issued by
Dist. Judge Warren A. Woodruff.
The judge set bail at $25 but
Stumbo refused to post it when ar
rested. Instead, he chose to re
main in jail.
He was brought into court this
morning for arraignment and aft
er hearing the charge against him
read by Judge Woodruff, asked
for a continuance. Stumbo said he
had conferred with his Medford
attorneys and they had advised
him to ask for a delay.
Stumbo told the judge his law
yers would arrive in Roseburg
some time today. He is represent
ed by the firm of Boyer and
Holmes.
Continues Pleading
Woodruff continued Stumbo's
pleading to the charge until Thurs
day at 9:30 a.m. He said if Stumbo
desired an earlier time it would
be worked into today's court calen
dar. Stumbo. a logger, appeared in
court dressed the part. He wore a
green and black checked flannel
shirt, black jeans and purple sus
penders. When booked, he gave his
age as 32 years.
The husky (five feet, nine inch
es, 192 pounds) logger said his ar
rest came as a complete surprise.
"At first I thought it was a joke,"
he said. "Then I thought it was
absurd. I still do," Stumbo de
clared. After a night in jail (he was
booked at 10:45 p.m. Tuesday),
Stumbo expressed praise for the
jail. "It's a fine jail," he said.
"The crusine is excellent."

whether he considered the gar

'Yes, sir," Amato replied.

Chairman McClcllan (D-Ark)
forbade photographers to make
pictures of the agent. Committee
cbunsel Robert F. Kennedy said
this was at the request of Harry
J. Anslingcr, head of the Narcot
ics Bureau. It was explained that
Amato frequently engages in und
ercover work.
Before Amato took the witness
chair, there had been testimony
from two garbage collector broth
ersJohn and Anthony Monte
sano that gangsters moved in on
the Garbage Collectors Assn. in
Nassau. County, N. Y., in connec
tion with negotiation of a contract
with a Teamsters Union local.
The Montesanos said the gang

in Squillante for assistance in con

it clear the outcome of the elec
tion would not necessarily be the
determining factor for Foster's
reinstatement. The board would
not be committed on the election
results. If board members stand
fast by their previous decision of
dismissing Foster, the coming
election will go for naught.
Both Foster and Cox stood be
fore the assembled parents and de
fended themselves. Emotions were
mixed among the approximately
180 present. Some spoke out in be
half of Foster and some for Cox.
Words Not Minced
Previous discussions and meet
ings on the -situation, which has
been developing for some time,
were filled with innuendo and no
direct accusations. But Tuesday
evening, no words were minced,
accusations flowed freely and the
cold war which had existed be
came heated and passionate
Foster told the group, "My rec
ord stands for itself," and when
asked why he had been dismissed
if he had been -lcared, he an
swered, "That's the $64 question."
Supt. Cox, who was responsible
for sending the inquiry to Okla
homa that revealed the blemish in
Foster's past, told the group in a
husky emotion-filled voice. "I felt
I had justification for checking on
this man." He went on to explain
the antagonism and bitter feeling
that had existed between Foster
and himself, giving illustrations of
events that had happened that
caused him to check on Foster's
past.
Many others present asked ques
tions about the situation and still
others presented opinions, pro and
con, about '.he men in question.
Both their reputations and charac
ters were emblazoned more than
once and several emotion packed
speeches were roundly applauded.
