Filth Merchants Feel Weight
Of New Postal Laws—Dowdy
Dear friends:
The anti-obscenity laws I have
sponsored since I have been your
Congressman are daily proving
their worth. Only a few days ago,
postal officials in New York raid-
ed three of the largest purveyors
of this filth. Though the laws are
new, several worthwhile convic-
tions of filth-peddlers have re-
sulted.
This vicious trade, which caters
to lust and exploits the youth of
our land, is an enormous business,
and extends to all corners of our
nation, and even to all over the
world. Christian people every-
where are feeling repulsion. Even
in France, usually considered most
lax in this respect, a group of
young editors and writers have
spoken out that they have had
enough scandal and indecency, and
are seeking to revise morality.
We must break the power of
the multi-million dollar publishers
who thrive on revenue from "liter-
ature" which very definitely goes
far beyond the border line of
good taste. Enforcement officials
are particularly harassed by court
decisions and attacks by those who
feel that in this day and age "any-
thing goes." Penalties for viola-
tions are wholly inadequate, and
even after convictions, offenders
set up business again the next
day, and the whole procedure
starts over again.
The fact that much of the ob-
scenity is being sent directly to
young people is particularly of-
fensive. It contributes to the pro-
blem of delinquency, and increases
the crime rate in the country. In
Washington, the police are handi-
capped in combatting a particular-
ly vicious trade among school chil-
dren of tender age. After discuss-
ing the problem with the head of
the police vice-squad, I introduced
a comprehensive bill which would
give much needed relief.
I am also working on the draft
of a bill on the national level,
striking at the interstate trade in
indecent matter. I realize full well
that it is a local problem, but any
community that is sincerely trying
to solve it should be protected
from such things being shipped in
from other states, and even for-
eign countries, by sellers who ap-
parently do not even know the
meaning of decency and good
morals. American moral standards
Congressman and Mrs. John Dowdy rid* the Cherry Blossom Special during the annual Washington,
D. C., Cherry Blossom Festival. The "Special Train" is a feature of the Sheraton-Park Hotel and
participates in numerous activities in and around Washington. This year. Congressmen who serve
on the District of Columbia Committee were invited to rid* th* Cherry Blossom Special in the parade.
must not be gauged and set by
the moral standards of the dregs
of society.
Merchants of sensation invent
nothing. They capitalize on
thoughtlessness and indifference.
Virtue is, in reality, a part of the
true man, and includes modesty
in expressing our emotions, an in-
stinctive need for cleanness, and
the taste for fidelity. I am grateful
for your interest in this, and for
your expressed support for my
efforts.
Visitors in Washington this
week were Dr. and Mrs. R. H.
Hunter of Palestine.
Your Congressman,
John Dowdy

Women To Assume
Bigger Role In
US Labor Force
"Girls of this generation are
destined for a very important role
in the world of work", says Brun-
swick A. Bagdon, Southern Region-
al Director of the U. S. Depart-
ment of Labor's Bureau of Labor
Statistics, in announcing a new
publication.
"We anticipate there will be 11
million more workers in 1965 than
there were 10 years earlier; that
more than half of these additional
workers will be women; and that
1.5 million will be girls and young
women under 25 years of age. Of
these young women, the majority
will be high school graduates.
"Chances are a girl will work
for a few years at least, after com-
pleting her schooling. This is true
whether or not she plans to marry
soon after graduation—the young
bride of today is likely to continue
working for a while if family re-
sponsibilities allow."
Future Jobs for High School
Girls, a recent bulletin of the Wo-
men's Bureau, contains a wealth
of useful information for high
school girls, their parents, teach-
ers and counselors. This publica-
tion has been written to help high,
school girls in their planning for
the future. In the job guide sec-
tion, information is given on a
variety of occupations that can
be entered by young women high
school graduates. The nature of
the work, job possibilities, quali-
fications and training needed, and
opportunities for advancement in
occupations which range from
beauty operator to radio and tele-
vision technicians are discussed.
Among jobs to which a high-
school diploma opens the door are
those of general clerical worker,
telephone operator, department-
store saleswoman, grocery checker,
and dental assistant, of airline
stewardess.
For some other occupations, a
high-school graduate will need
additional training, as well as
work experience, in order to adv-
ance. These occupations include
such technical and professional
jobs as nursing, medical labora-
tory work, and engineering aide
or draftsman—also top secretarial
jobs, and many specialized jobs.
Training tor jobs which require
more than a high-school diploma
can be obtained in various ways-
through informal training on the
job (bank teller); courses at a
technical school or university
(draftsman); formal apprentice-
ship (optical technician) and at-
tendance at a business college
(secretary) or an approved hospital
school (nurse).
Also included are suggestion*
for obtaining job experience and
additional training, both in and
out of school, how to look for a,
job and prepare for an interview.
Suggested sources for securing
further infromation are also listed.
Copies of Future Jobs for High
School Girls are available from
the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
