The Rev. James A. McVann, C.
S.P., of St. Paul’s College, Wash
ington, D. C., in a well-rounded
study of how this flood of porno
graphy violates the natural law
and what can be done about it,
said purveyors of illicit literature
are sending their prospectuses to
children ranging from 8-year-olds
tc collegians. One purveyor sends
out from 30,000 to 60,000 circulars
a day.
As a first step to combat this
evil, he called on individuals and
organizations to write their Con
gressman or Senators to urge pass
age of HR 5850, a bill designed to
stop dealers in pornography from
sending out further matter while
they are on trial for a previous
offense. This measure is now be
fore a House Post Office and Civil
Service sub committee, headed by
Rep. Frank M. Karsten of Mis
souri,
On the home front, where Fa
ther McVann says post office offi
cials feel “the most telling effort
can be made” in keeping unclean
literature from children, the au
thor proposes these steps:
1. Parents must impress on their
children to consult with them be
fore writing away for things ad
vertised even in respectable news
papers.
2. When children are canvassed
by obscene advertisers, parents
should at once file a complaint
with the inspector at the local
post office, enclosing the incrim
inating literature.
3. All concerned with educa
tion—teachers, principals, school
boards, parent-teacher groups—
should insist with municipal and
state authorities that local laws
against obscene literature be en
forced. All States except New
Mexico have such laws. They also
should insist that close tabs be
kept in the schools to find child
ren who peddle for the major dis
tributors.
4. The same educational groups
should write periodic letters to
the newspapers, calling on the
Federal courts to deal sharply
with smut dealers who use the
mails. “Judges and prosecutors
will attend to their work when
they sense a strong public opinion
against fancy jurisprudence and
law enforcement,’’ Father McVann
declared.
Parish Decency Committee
members should visit drugstores
and newstands, asking them not
to display or sell to children,
comics that are contrary to the
code of the National Organization
for Decent Literature. Cooperating
dealers are given a committee
placard to display. School children
and their parents are urged not
to patronize stores which do not
display the committee’s sign.
Father McVann said that while
the law is clear in forbidding use
of the mails for obscene matter,
dealers in pornography "are a
persistent tribe though arrested
time and again, they pay their fine
and start up again.” He explained
that “with a slim equipment the
profits are enormous,’ and they
count on a fast gain before the
law overtakes them again.” Post
Office officials have a special file
of about 4,000 complaints against
one dealer alone.

Father Bauer,
Father Bauer a Mary knoll
missioner, is as
American as Brooklyn, where he
was born in 1912. His first-hand
knowledge of the Far East began
nearly 13 years ago, shortly after
his ordination to the priesthood.
He was assigned to the Kweilin
Mission in China, and for a while
it looked as though his experience
would be confined to that area.
But the Japanese invasion came,
and Father Bauer was pushed
along before it. He spent his “ex
ile” period in Kweiyang and Kun
ming, increasing his knowledge of
Far Eastern geography, but what

They Broadcast Catholic News

The Rev. Norman Stuber, O.F.M. Cap., assistant at St. Joseph's parish, Dover, and instructor in
religion at St. Joseph High School, is shown ready to broadcast the weekly Catholic radio program
heard Mondays at 11:15 a. m. over Dover's Station WJER. With him is Sonny Mascotti, senior at the
high school, who announces the program and assists with the presentation. Free literature is offered
to listeners interested in learning more about the Catholic !aith. The program was inaugurated Jan. 7.

Asia's Hong Kong Cross-Roads
The symbol NC on reports you
read in the Catholic Tinies means
N. C. W. C. News Service, which
gathers globe-circling news. Be
low is a thumb nail sketch of one
of the NC correspondents writing
for you, so that you may realize the
background from which such dis
patches are written.
The Rev. Thomas J. Bauer. M.M.,
covers one of the busiest “cross
roads” in the world—Hong Kong.
The paths ot the great and the
obscure, the important person and
the refugee cross on this island
off the southeast coast of China.
Some of the most informative, and
most touching stories of the day
come to light there. Few are bet
ter qualified than Father Bauer to
get and write them. Not only is
he an a cco m
1 i s ed news
writer, forged in
the foundry of*
action and al
o s unremit
ting toil, but he
knows well the
area and the
people of whom
he writes.
is more important, his knowledge
of ar Eastern people. He return
ed to Kweilin after V-J Day, and
worked there until his superiors as
signed him to the staff of the
China Missionary Bulletin (as Eng
lish editor), when the magazine be
gan publication in Hong Kong in
August, 1949.
Certainly it is given to few peo
ple to view so closely and under
such vivid and dramatic circum
stances so many facets of life as it
is lived in Hong Kong today. Fa
ther Bauer insists that his co-work
ers deserve as much credit as he
in capturing for the reader of the
Catholic press the kaleidoscopic
picture that is the Far East today.
In any case, he does have scores of
news sources in his “cross roads”
post.

Quern Elizabeth II
Heads Two Faiths
As Well As State
LONDON (NC) Accession
of Queen Elizabeth II to the throne
has drawn attention to the fact
that she is both the spirtiual and
temporal head of the state.
Queen Elizabeth is head of the
Church of England, which is Epis
copalian. and also of the Church of
Scotland, which is Presbyterian.
She worships in the churches of
each denomination. When she is
in England she is Episcopalian.
When she is in Scotland she is
Presbyterian. She appoints the
archbishops and bishops of the
Church of England, although the
government nominates persons for
the post. The Church of Scotland
has no bishops and is self-govern
ing but its General Assembly de
rives its authority from the Queen.
