Sheriffs Likely to Continue Pornography Enforcement Duty
Raleigh editors report that sheriffs may retain censorship enforcement powers for pornographic literature. Rep. Tom Dill of Edgecombe and I. T. Valentine of Nash back sheriff-led enforcement, oppose a separate censorship board, and caution on line between art and porn. They say warrants and court action, not boards, should carry ultimate responsibility.
