Stern Action Requested Against Dealers In Smut WASHINGTON (AP) FBI Di rector J. Edgar Hoover called to day Tor stern action against dealers in obscene and vulgar literature. Writing in the January issue of (he FBI Law Enforcement Bulle tin. Hoover said: "The time for half - hearted, oblique action against depravity is past. Although this despicable trade reaps 500 million dollars a Sewer Fee Protested By Family SANTA CLARA, Calif. fUPI) Mr. and Mrs. Harry A. Jeter had buckets of water all over their house and yard Thursday as they carried on a one-family protest against a 35-cent-a-month city sewer maintenance fee. The Jeters, now 10 months be. hind in payment of the fee, are without water because the city water department shut if off Mon day for non-payment. Jeter explained that the city sends each consumer a blanket bill which includes both sewage and water. Jeter refused to pay the 35 cents the city returned his check for the rest of his bill. Jeter, who heads an agricultural consulting agency in Stockton, Calif., said he believes the ordi nance which gives the city council authority to fix the sewage fee leaves the rate schedule "wide open to any sewer fees the council wishes to tack on." "The city is taking a blank check on the bank account of the consumer," he said. While Jeter battles city hall, his neighbors are supplying him, his wife and their two dogs what they need most at the moment water. "We have buckets all over the place," Jeter said. The neighbors have been bringing water in buck ets, tubs and anything else that will hold it. Orrin K. Wendling, chief city finance officer, said the city's next step if the lack of water has no effect will be to refer the case to the health authorities for in vestigation of Jeter's sanitation facilities. Wendling said the city was going to shut off the Jeters' water before Christmas but "We didn't want to be a scrooge." year, this diabolical business Is costing the nation much more than money. It is robbing our countrv and particularly our younger gen eration of decency it is a seed bed for delinquency among juve niles and depravity among all ages." Hoover's statement lent suDDort to a campaign which Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield has been waging, with special em phasis on keeping obscene matter -and advertising for it out of the nirils. Noting that a forcible rape oc curred every 36 minutes in this country in 1958, Hoover said "this ruly shocking and shameful state of affairs is made even more de plorable by the knowledge that sex crimes and obscene and vulgar lit erature often go hand in hand." Hoover said obscene literature is being spread across the coun try by means of films, decks of piaying cards. Dhotoeratjhs. mm. ic books, salacious magazines, pa perback books and other nomo graphic products. "These forms of obscenitv in. deed threaten the morality of our nation and its richest treasure our young people," Hoover said.

(AP) - Navy men on watch aboard a thousand American ships the world over joined in an ancient sea tradition today. They wrote poetry. Naval custom says the entry In the log by the first watch of the new year must rhyme. In New Orleans, while rain whipped the deserted decks of the sea-going tug Navajo, Signalman Charles Dillard, 35, Bowling Green, Ky wrote: "As the year comes in With its noise and din And lights of the town burn bright All's happy and gay In the Vieux Carre But duty tonight is our plight The origin of the little-known rilual is one of mysteries of the sea. Navy historians know only that it began in the early 19th century. Through the years, Navy men who drew midnight to 4 a.m. duty have faced the prospect of greet ing celebrating shipmates from a sober New Year's Day quarter deck. Some say the custom of writing the ship's log in verse started as a diversion. So, lonely Lt. S. H. S. Flem- ming, aboard the USS Souther land in windy San Diego, Calif., harbor wrote early today: '"Tis the morning of New Year And all through the ship Not a radar is scanning Not even a 'pip.'" When the log is scanned by ship mates aboard the submarine Dog fish in the Philadelphia Navy yard, many will agree with Lt. C. H. Andrew's age-old complaint: '"Tis really a pity our Navy is dry No New Year's toast with rum, whisky or rye." Navy regulations say the watch officer must record all nautical de tails. Tradition says he must put these facts into rhyme. While moonlight played on the cold decks of the guided missile cruiser Canberra in Norfolk (Va.) naval base, Ens. Marlin J. Finer ty, 23, Wilmington, Del., wrote: "Extra bights of wire both for ward and aft Insure the safely of this sea worthy craft Maintaining condition of readi- ness six HOPE TO MC AWARDS HOLLYWOOD (UPD-Bob Hope will be master of ceremonies at the 32nd annual Academy Awards presentations April 4, the Acad emy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Thursday Hope will he the sole emcee on the 90-minute Oscar awards tele cast. fi 6te (Safe Because we're specral ists in record keeping materials, you're sure to find just the right forms and housing to fit your requirements.
