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.

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.

The conference, to be held be

Portland (U.R) Republican
National Chairman Leonard M.
Hall said here yesterday that
Sens. Wayne Morse and Paul
Douglas were poor prophets
when they predicted depression
last year and he cited figures
showing April employment to be
the highest in history.
Hall flew here from Boise,
Ida., and left in the afternoon
for Spokane, Wash., on his way
back to Washington, D.C.
"With business going at its
present rate the nation will en
joy in 1955 one of its great and
prosperous years, Hall said. He
added that "this prosperity is go
ing on in a situation which the
'gloom and doom' boys cannot
understand prosperity and
peace.
Hall predicted the Republi
cans would take back control of
both the House and Senate in
1956 as well as capture the
White House again. He said he
believed Morse would be de
feated. He said that with President
Eisenhower's popularity the par
ty "will get a bigger vote in 1956
than it did in 1952."

Naval Center Urged
For Newport Airfield
Newport, Ore. (U.R) W. F.
Bradley, chairman of the Re
publican Central committee of
Lincoln county, has wired U.S.
Rep. Walter Norblad urging him
to consider the airport facilities
at Newport for a proposed Naval
air reserve center.
Bradley said he thought the
Newport area would be better
"strategically and economically"
than the Hillsboro site, under
consideration, because it would
be "without the problem of
heavy concentration of both ur
ban and rural population."
Newport airfield has two
heavy-duty mile-long paved run
ways with ample field area for
development, Bradley said. He
added that extensive vacant
acreage was available for hous
ing. Coastguard Saves
Fisherman at Florence
Florence, Ore. (U.R) A mod

surf and swam 100 yards with
a life jacket to rescue a 65-year
old man yesterday while thou
sands of persons nearby were un
mindfully viewing Florence's
16th annual rhododendron festi
val.
The rescued man was Will
Graneman of Eugene, who was
trapped by the tide while fishing
on the north jetty.
The coastguardsmen. One of
two at the little boat station here,
wouldn't give his name. "We're
not supposed to do rescue work.
We're only here to man the sta
tion and I'd rather not have my
name used." .

Initely perhaps until fall
to give scientists time to work
out a more sensitive testing sys
tem. A key industry official said
some experts favor this move
because they suspect polio cases
among inoculated children' may
indicate there is something in
the vaccine which present tissue
culture and monkey tests do not
detect.
Representatives of all six Salk
shot producers were on hand
for the conference. Among the
polio experts were Dr. Thomas
Francis Jr., who made the study
which pronounced the Salk shots
safe and effective; Dr. David
Bodian of Johns Hopkins univer
city, and Dr. W. McD. Hammond
of the University of Pittsburgh.
The Public Health Service said
Dr. Jonas E. Salk, the vaccine's
developer, could not be present.
