TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12,1954 TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1954 S _ _ _ ..., . ... w ANTI-GORE CAMPAIGN: Individuals, Committees Seek Comic Book Curb WASHINGTON (M) - Two teen- age girls stood watch at a news- stand near their school in Chi- cago to learn who was buying the "comics" with the lewd and hor- ror covers. A 3-year-old girl toddled in and bought one of the most wanton. On its cover a scantily clad woman was pictured in a suggestive pose. The little girl's father, ashamed to buy the magazine himself, had sent her in to get it for him. Spurred by this incident and others like it, Ann Osetek and Ar- mella Bujnowski undertook one of the liveliest campaigns the coun- try has seen against the horror, crime and sex "comics" being sold to children, most at 10 cents a copy.

Shooting for 80,- 000, they have startled some of their elders into action. Offensive at the very least, trashy comics have been branded by some officials as contributing to juvenile delinquency. Dr. Frederic Wertham, senior psychiatrist for the New York City Department of Hospitals until 1953, testified: "Three boys, 6 to 8 years old, took a boy of 7, hanged him nude from a tree, his hands tied behind him, and then burned him with matches. They could not find their first choice for this treatment-a girl of 6. Probation officers found they were re-enacting a comic-book plot." The lust to kill permeates many of the horror comics. This type of comic book is under fire all over the country. The Senate Committee on Juvenile De- linquency held hearings on them this summer. The General Feder- ation of Women's Clubs is putting at the top of its winter program a drive to banish the horror and crime books from the newsstands. Several cities and states have passed or are considering laws against them. Legitimate comics publishers, alarmed at public clamor, have banded together to set up a code of ethics to be administered by a "comics czar." But such efforts have failed be- fore, and no such code can touch the fly-by-night who publishes a couple of volumes of depravity, then folds up - only to reappear a few weeks later, perhaps in an- other city, with a new line of goods. After the Senate committee held hearings in New York City - where most of the publishers are- Chairman Robert C. Hendrickson (R-NJ) commented: "For 10 cents a copy our chil- dren devour tales - illustrated in gory detail - of murder, rape, burglary, extortion and kidnaping. Half-rotted corpses rise from their graves to pillage. Vampires go forth to drink the blood of children. "Why are such books published? Because there is money in it. Not even the Communist conspiracy could devise a more deadly way to demoralize, disrupt and confuse our future citizens." Dismissal Ends Davis Case Here (Continued from Page 1) I regret to state that it will be my duty to recommend to the Regents your immediate dismissal from the staff of the University." Davis' Letter Shortly after receiving the letter from the President, Davis sent a letter to some members of the faculty. Points stressed in refer- ence to the President's decision to recommend dismissal, were, "I was willing to answer questions of in- tegrity . . . And the Special Ad- visory Committee had said it re- quired only answers relating to my integrity. "I did refuse to answer ques- tions as to my political prefer- ences ... Public intimidation has made many people terrified not merely of Communism, but of any- thing they have been told might be construed as socialistic; many people have been so confused that they could not think on the sub- ject if they dared-I will not talk politics under duress." "The Communist Party is poli- tical; if a question concerning it amounts to both a question of morality and a question of poli- tics, my criterion implies that I must answer the first part and not the second. "I think my stand is the best one. I would hope every teacher in my place would take it too. But surely even those who would pre- fer not to must realize it is not a dishonorable stand!" Final Action Davis followed the President's advice, to appeal to the Committee on Intellectual Freedom and In- tegrity, and wrote the Committee informing them of his position. Although the hearing before this committee, which was held August 11, was not limited to the previous- ly written charges, Davis felt that "it was a well conducted hearing." The report of the Committee was sent to the President on Aug- ust 19. August 26 the President recommended the immediate dis- missal of Davis to the Regents, who concurred. The Federal Grand Jury in Grand Rapids indicted Davis on 26 charges on August 25. The former faculty member entered a plea of innocent before the court September 13. He was released on personal bond at that time, and will be tried in November.
