Post Office Fights Pornography By Mail To Protect Youth
The Post Office Department uses new legal tools to crack down on a growing mail porn racket that targets teenagers. Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield warns 700000 to a million youths may receive lewd circulars this year, with adults and children spending up to half a billion dollars for cheapening morality. Sociologists tie rising adolescent sex crime to pornography and note criminals become more depraved through such material. Peddlers exploit first class mail and odd lists by cribbing high school names and buying lists from kid oriented firms, making removal from lists difficult.
