Penthouse
to defend
retailers
NEW YORK (UPI) - Pent-
house magzine announced Sun-
day it will defend vendors of the
periodical who may be accused of
selling pornography under the
recent Supreme Court ruling per-
mitting local communities to set
obscenity standards.
"Any news agent in the U. S.
or on any street corner in the
country or otherwise who is
tried for selling Penthouse will
have our full support," said
Penthouse publisher Bob Guc-
cione.
"WE WILL BE there in full
strength with all usr resources to
defend him and ourselves"
Guccione, 42, said he "will
not allow anybody to give up
the magazine, if it is at all pos-
sible."
Guccione said in m'iking the
announcement that his attor-
neys had been in contact with
Plyboy magazine, its chief com-
petitor in the field of sophisti-
cated girlie magazines, to see if
it would do the same but Playboy
was "not interested"
PENTHOUSE HAS repared a
leg-il team which will contact
the local vendor when the maga-
zine receives a report of a seiz-
ure, Guccione said.
"If there is something we can
do," he said, "we will do it."
Guccione said that so far his
magazine has received reports of
seizures in Alabama, Mississippi,
Georgia and Virginia.
HOWEVER, HE SAID that no
legal defense was necessary be-
cause the cases were thrown out
at the initial stages of litigation.
Playboy announced last week
it will re-evaluate the future con-
tent of the photography of its
magazines, but Guccione said
Penthouse will not make any
revisions in its format. He said
both magazines divide about 20
per cent of the magazine ven-
dor's market.
Guccione said it would be al-
most impossible to edit the mag-
azine on a regional basis to com-
ply with the 5-4 Supreme Court
decision.
Talks at
MSU to

EAST LANSING (UPI).-
Contract negotiations between
Michigan State University and
two striking locals of the Ameri-
can Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employes (AFS-

hours of bargaining which began
Friday.
Members of the two locals
walked off their jobs early last
week, with the skilled trades-
men of Local 999 going on strike
Monday and the maintenance
workers of Local 1585 going out
Tuesday.
KEITH GROTY, assistant to
the vice president at MSU for
personnel and employe relations,
said talks with Local 1585 would
resitme in the presence of Ed-
nards Connors, a mediator from

tnnce of the state mediator is
likely to speed up final agree-
ment."
