the legal arguments, but gave
scant attention to the exhibits.
Then she ruled that maybe Sum.
merfield .did wrong by nudism.
The judge held up. pending fur
ther argument, a Fostofflce De
partment order cutting off the
mails to Sunshine fc Health and
Sun, magazines which plug the
cause of nudism with stories Il
lustrated by photographs of un
clad men and women.
She told opposing lawyers to
show up again July 13 for further
argument ,
Attorney O. John Rogge, no nud
ist himself, spoke for Sunshine it
Health and Sun.
Rogge called the magazine "ser
ious publications" containing dis
cussions on whether people would
be healthier and happier, if they
practiced nudism.
Assistant U. S. Attorney Thomas
J O'ConneU handed the judge cop
ies of the magazines. She shoved
them aside as far as her arm
could reach.
"Obscenity is a matter that can
be determined by the court merely
by reading the book, O'ConneU
said. The judge gave a quick side-
glace at one of the magazines,
then put it aside again.
Kogge said that cutting off the
mails of the magazines would de
stroy them.
"Even though we disagree with
them, I don't hink we should de
stroy them," he said. "Who knows,
maybe they art right."
Rogge said we now laugh at bath
ing suits such as grandma wore.
and that perhaps well laugh in the
years to come because people ever
wore Dauung suits.
The magazines, O'Connell said.
contain photographs of "women
completely nude, facing forward
. . unashamed." And, he added.
there are photos of "naked women
shown together with naked men."
Obscenity, O Connell contended.
is "that which would seem indecent
to the normal person. It doesn't
have to arouse animal passion."
Well, replied Rogge, a plunging
neckline as worn by Fay Emerson
or a sarong as worn by Dorothy
Lamour maybe even a strapless
evening gown might be more pro
vocative. Heart Attack

Mart Lee Brower. 23, of Altadena,
Calif., suffered a cut on the back
of his head and cuts and abrasions
of the left hip when his motorcycle
collided with a car at Marion and
North Liberty Streets about 3:30

First aidmen treated Brower and
he was sent to a doctor for stitches.
Police said the car was driven by
Gloria A. Bell, Salem Route 3, Box

Nash was damaged and the entire
motorcycle received considerable
damage.
George Massey, 45, of 3465 Neef

French-Bonn
Terms Shaken
By Germans
BONN, Germany If) Deputies
of the West German parliament,
in a vote-catcmng anu-irrencn
mood, struck a double blow at
French-German relations Thurs
day by rejecting a debt settlement
and demanding return of the Saar.
Revolting against Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer in their most
bitterly anti-French temper seen
in the four-year-old Bundestag
(Lower House), the Germans took
revenge for alleged French eco
nomic exploitation of their occu
pation zone.
The House refused, by 148 to 135
votes, to approve repayment of
$11,840,000 of economic aid given
by the French to their zone be
tween 1945 and 1948. Payment was
to have begun Aug. 1.

Flight Controls Improvised
As Tower Operation Ceases
Salem's CAA control tower which was dosed down Tuesday
midnight was back in the spotlight Thursday as these developments
took place:
The instrument landing system, which has been operating as an
unmonitored facility since the tower closed, was recommended clos
ed by CCA District Maintenance Supervisor Claude Barrett of Port
land.
City officials made
plans
to
monitor the ILS from the
eity
nan radio room.
United Air Lines ordered fts
pilots not to land at McNary
Field with the aid of the unmoni
tored ILS. The. system is used
only when the ceiling is excep
tionally low.
One United Air Lines flight
scheduled to land in Salem Thurs
day morning was unable to land
here because of the unmonitored
ILS and new ceiling restrictions.
Barrett said it was a "navi
gational hazard" to operate the
ILS without someone to monitor
it and recommended it be shut
down.
CAA officials at regional head
quarters in Los Angeles plan to
meet today to discuss the recom
mendation. Meanwhile, Charles Barclay,
Salem airport manager ,said the
city is considering moving the
ILS 'monitoring equipment to the
city hall radio room. Presumably
the police switchboard operator
would keep an eye on it
The CAA would have to ap
prove this move.
warren Murry, CAA mainten
ance man here, said the plan was
feasible as far as the physical
setup was concerned.
The operator would be required
to monitor a panel of lights and
two radio receivers. Red lights
flash and a bell rings when any
of the ILS equipment goes out of
order, Murry said.
According to Barclay, United
Air Lines at Salem refused to
take the responsibility of moni
toring the landing system.
The airlines pointed out that
their crews are often busy on
the field and would be unable to
watch the equipment at all times.

Psychiatrist
For Prison
On Schedule
Addition of a psychiatrist to
the Oregon Stat Prison staff
soon will relieve some of the
penitentiary troubles over men
tally deranged convicts. Deputy
Warden L. R. Barnes predicted
Thursday.
Under the budget which went
into effect Wednesday funds are
available for employing a psy
chiatrist The appointment is un
der consideration, Warden Clar
ence T. Gladden said.
Barnes said in a prison as large
as Oregon's, one to three convicts
at any one time might be found
to be psychotic These are dif
ferent, unpredictable prisoners
because they can't be held ac
countable 'or what they do.
A trained psychiatrist would
be able to detect the psychotic
at an earlier stage, it is expec
ted, and transfer them to the
State Hospital for treatment
The mentally deranged prison
ers may not be classified as le
gally insane, so they can't be
kept indefinitely in the criminal
insane ward at the State Hos
pital. Douglas Says

SEATTLE Uh Supreme Court
Justice William O. Douglas said
Thursday that the linking of his
name romantically with Mrs. C.
Gorard Davidson of Portland, Ore.,
"must be a case of mistaken ident
ity." The justice was in Seattle brief
ly en route to Eastern Washington
and Cascade Mountain points on a
vacation trip.
Representative Wheeler, Georgia
Democrat, said this week while at
tempting to obtain Douglas im
peachment that the justice! had
been : named as a co-respondent
when Mrs. Davidson divorced the
former assistant secretary of the
interior last year.
He later said he had been in
error and had based his statement
on newspaper stories.
"Jebby Davidson is a fine lawyer
and a good friend of mine," Doug
las said of the former government
official.
He declined to discuss the case
of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, ex
ecuted spies whom . the Justice
granted a stay just before their
death' sentence was to have been
carried out
"The Supreme Court has made its
decision. That's what it is for to
make decisions. The Supreme Court
is still the Supreme Court," he said
