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.

First Watch Of New Year
Writes Entry In Poetry
NEW ORLEANS, La. (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
