Congressional clamor cuts mail order pornography reach
Government postal chief Henry B. Montague says complaints about obscene mail have fallen about 30 percent since a Supreme Court ruling eight-teen months ago allowed obscenity considerations in trials. He notes 20 bills seek to curb smut, with dealers postponing mailings as court actions loom. The trend shows hard core porn moves mainly in magazines and trucked to readers rather than mailed directly. The latest figures show a 50 percent drop in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, though challenges remain with definitions of obscenity and enforcement. Montague cites the Ginzburg case and ongoing legislative pressure as dampening factors on mailers.
