OMAHA. Neb.. May 19. Action
-i gainst the sale of "risque" magazines
"o high school students was started by
'.'ounly Attorney B,-al yesterday when
he referred to federal authorities
complaints of high school teachers
thai "periodicals containing salacious
qoiics and obscene pictures had been
found in the school."
The magazines in question can tie
ibtaincd at almost any news stand,
I'ounty Attorney Bcal said, but there
;s no slate law under which the dis
tributors can be prosecuted.
"Such magazines, in my opinion are
doing more to break down Hie morale
.if the children i ban anything else,"
Heal said. "They are the curse of
he age. They print suggestive stories
A'hich are not fit for anybody to read.
Jet alone high school children of ten
der age. If there was any way I
might bring prosecutions in these
cases I most certainly would do so."
