LONDON (UP) -Britain's 18-month-old
moral clean-up cam
paign has moved into the politi
cal arena.
Parliamentarians, church and
civic leaders and even members
of the cabinet are weighing leg
islation to wipe out prostitution,
homosexuality, pornography and
obscene literature. ,
The Churchill government late
ly has been so plagued with de
mands to ban the sale of so
rallpd horror comics that two
'cabinet ministers have hinted at
the introduction of laws to keep
them off Britain's bookstalls.
The government also is faced
with what has been described as
"intensified activity by prosti
tutes and perverts, while variety
theatres are being scored for
presenting "nude" shows to the
exclusion of what is called "tra-
ditional British variety.
The comics at issue are those
whose central characters are
ghouls or vampires, the "crime
often pays" type, and others that
- exploit excesses and amoral acts.
.One Firm Stops
The storm against this type of
children's "entertainment" has
reached such proportions that al
ready the largest firm . produc
ing "horror" comics here has an
nounced that it will cease publi
cation and devote its energies to
hetter-tvoe products.
Rut ther nrp still TinTTM POm-
ics in circulation and so much
. concern is felt over their influ
ence among children that the
leader of theh Anglican church,
Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, Archbishop
of Canterbury, recently led a
deputation to discuss the prob
lem with the home secretary,
Major Lloyd George.
Lloyd George promised the
denutation the "most careful con-
ciripratinn bv the eovernment" of
the whole horror comics quest
ion. Soon after he announced. a
full government inquiry into the
matter, and hinted that legisla
tion would be introduced into
the nextt session of parliament
to ban "horrors" altogether.
Sir David Eccles, minister of
education, saw an exhibition of
the horror comics sponsored by
the British Teachers' Union and
commented:
"I think It may well be neces
sary to take stronger action
against these publications."
The Teachers Union told its
a m. 1
memoers inai cnuarea may oe
legally punished for reading, any
where on school premises, horror
comics blacklisted by headmast
. ers.
Nudity Scored !
Recently the Bishop of Coven
try, Dr. Neville Gorton, con
demned the way in which sex. is
Twin? commercialized in Britain
in some films, books and news
papers, and his attack received
much support.
Dr. Gorton said that the com
mercialization of sex was the
most destructive influence with
which he had to deal, and it had
contributed to the breakdown of
the Christian principle of mar
- riage and "formed the greatest!
disintegrating evil of the day."
- , There has been a campaign
. against the number of films be
ing brought into the country with
. the alleged intention of receiving
an "X" (adults only) certificate
frnm thp rnsnr.
Then there is the fight in the '
vaudeville .theaters over the
nude and "strip" shows. Vaude
' ville artists associations claim
that girls with no stage ability
whatsoever are crowding out
real performers. Theater manag
ers reply that today's customers j
want to see nudity.
A-14-member committee repre-'
senative of all classes and inter
ests in the country is at present
sitting as a government inquiry
into the existing laws relating to :
homosexual offenses and prosti:i
tuuon.
On the committee's findings
the government will judge what
new legislation will be necessary
to combat the increase in pros
titutioh and homosexuality in
Britain in recent years.
Sir Arthur Morse, chairman of
the British Holidays and Travel
Association, said the prostitute
problem in London is without
parallel in the western world and
that overseas visitors are being
continually shocked by its enor-
mity.
