Lions Picked By
Senate To Scan
Lewd Pictures
Hv ARTHI R McKINNKY
BISMARCK. N. D. HM?>—Lead
ers of the Bismarck Lions Club
plucked up their courage Wednes-
day anil gave cautious approval
to a Senate iei|uest that they stud.. .
i,ims* pornographic pictuu-s.
The Lions had protested the pro-
ject was out of their lin*- and one
said h«- wanted ihe ,wi>«• to take
part in the examination also.
But I'ast President An'..! W k-
lund summed up the spirit oi' the,
club with the words "I think we
should do it—it sounds interest-
ing."
Th'.* 15tl Bismarck Lions found
they had ' 1. picked for the job
through an announcement by Sen.
William Lunger iK N. D.| in
Washington Tuesday.
Langer said the Senate Subcom-
mittee on Juvenile Delinquency had
selected the club to make a •'!!'
day study of l.lMsi pornographic
piciures to detei mine whethei they
are too "obscene, lewd, lascivious
and unfit" to be sold over i.ews
stands.
Langer followed up the an-
nouncement by sending a packet
of l.twsi photographs, films, hook
lets and drawings by registered
mall to J. S Fevold, president of
the Bismarck Lions.
The pictures were confiscated
by the subcommittee during its
recent coast to coast hearings. Lan
ger said they depict "everything
from nudes to flagellation."
The Lion* can go over the ex
liibits for a month and loan them
. ut to othei groups if they want
to. Langer said it would be all
right for the club to "invite guests.
including wives." for the showing.
Fevold, caught a little off base.
pointed out that a special meeting
of the club's boaid of directors was
necessary to approve the offer.
Joseph R. Kirbv, the club's sec-
retary. added "it's difficult to say
whether the club will do it—diffi-
cult to tell what some people
might think. But it's probably a
good opportunity to do some seiv-
ii> for the community."
