Monday. Mar 23, 19SS Kefauver Subcommittee Will Tackle Sale of Pornographic Literature to Juveniles SIX MZDrORD (OREGOH) MAIL TRIBUNE Tighter Laws Seen Needed To Smash 'Big Business' Washington (U.R) Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) said today tight, new federal laws may be needed to smash the "very big business" of selling mut to juveniles. Kefauver heads the Senate Judvenile Delinquency Subcom mittee which begins hearings in New York tomorrow on the traffic in pornography and its contribution to youthful way wardness. He said the sessions In New York will go into the "nationwide" problem. Interest Stressed The hearings have been scheduled tentatively for the same Foley Square Courthouse which housed many of the most dramatic sessions in Kefauver's 1950-51 investigation of inter state crime. Those hearings rocketed the Tennessee Demo crat into a position of national prominence. , The Senator stressed the Ju venile Delinquency Subcommit tee's interest in that part of the pornography racket which puts salacious publications, records, pictures and films, Into the hands of youngsters. "The question of the stag smoker is not in our jurisdic tion," Kefauver said in an Inter view. He added that some of the witnesses at the New York ses sions will be persons connect ed with what- he termed the "big business" of peddling pornography. Federal Control "We'll be interested In the question of federal control," the Senator said, "In the mails, cus toms, and interstate commerce." Customs authorities are Involv ed, he said, because some of the material appears to originate outside the unitea oiaies. The Senate recently approved a bill which would tighten regu lations against shipping porno graphy through the mails. Ke fauver said that, in addition, "There seems to have been a great cleaning up" since the sub committees investigators have been looking into the sale of such material to youngsters. Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSIY Unittd Pms CorraspondMt Hollvwood (U.R) Humphrey Bogart and Lauran Bacall cele brated their 10th wedding anni- ?f"f versary today with this rec ipe for mar ried success: A double bed and a difference in ages. Bogie Betty, as his wife is called, have rung up a decade of Aline Mosby sharing the game swimming pool, a record in the plaster city where actor actress combinations usually don't last past option time. One reason for their happy tatp of affairs, they agree, is "We are old-fashioned we be lieve in double beds." "It's pretty hard to sulk over something if you share the same bed." said Bogart. "That's a Eu ropean idea, those separate bed rooms. A lot of rich people have em, too." Age Difference The Bogarts reflected on their 10 years together as they sat around the den of their mansion, Mrs. B. in tight blue cocktail slacks and her husband curled up in a chair with a drink. The 24-year difference in their ages, decided . Betty, helped them make this anniversary. "I was a baby when I married him 30," she said. "There is a growing up process between 20 and 30, and he's been supreme ly patient. I don t think a younger man would have stood for my working, for example. Bogie s very wise. Hes a good man, honest, faithful and upright." Her husband said, "I never felt our marriage wouldn't last because she was so young. You make it last. You work at it. think women should marry older men. This idea a boy of 23 has to marry a girl of 21 is nonsense. Boredom Deadly "We also get along because we have a pretty good sense of humor. We don't take anything or ourselves too seriously. And Betty is bright, intelligent and never careless about anything, We have a lot of friends. Bore dom can kill a marriage. "Most of these babes out here," he snorted, "don't deserve to be married for five minutes, When they get married they don't really mean it. They marrv some guy because he's pretty. "Some of these actresses like Arlene Dahl decide they look so well with their leading men they marrv 'em!" The Bogarts were married at the farm of their friend, writer Louis Bromfield, near Lucas.O.
