Secret Porn Study Sparks Clergy Outrage At Commission Meeting
A Jesuit priest, Rev. Morton A. Hill of New York, stormed out of a closed Commission session detailing a 14 day sex study in which 21 male volunteers were exposed to obscene pictures for 90 minutes daily and paid $100. He demanded theologians be consulted, calling the experiments a violation of divine law. The article notes the Commission will hold two May meetings open to the public amid ongoing debates on pornography and budget concerns. Labor reports forecast a turbulent year with widespread wage demands as prices rise and profits dip, including potential strikes by Teamsters, railroad workers, rubber workers, apartment workers, papermakers, hospital workers, and auto workers. The piece also identifies Willis Carto as founder of a far-right group opposing 1970 candidates.
