Police raid downtown newsstands target indecent magazines
Kansas City police completed a follow through in their campaign against lewd literature by buying magazines at three downtown newsstands on 12th street and arresting one employee at each location. They face municipal court hearings on June 4 and may pursue charges against operators and distributors after conferring with city officials and the prosecutor. The effort began with October raids and a prior judge’s ruling that many publications were obscene, guiding later arrests and seizures.
