"More obsc
were conducted by
during fiscal year
previous year in
the Postmaster General'
ed, “and convictions were
in 98.8 per cent of all cases
to trial.”
He credtied the unprecedenteq
success .Of the obscenity law en
forcement program* to three factos:
1. Cooperation between the Jus
tice Department, the Postal In
spection Service and state law en
forcement agencies.
2. His decision early in his tenure
of office to emphasize criminal ac
tion against offenders, rather than
administrative proceedings.
3. A de-emphasis on publicizing
mail obscenity cases, also adopted
immediately after he assumed of
fice.
Day noted that natr-oneonscen
ity case during tfc|ft$62 fiscal year
was 'handled through the adminis
trative procedure of which the Su
preme Court was critical in its
"Manual Enterprises” decision of
June 25.
The Supreme Court’s ruling came
in a case on which the Post Of
fice Department had taken admin
istrative action on April 28, 1960,
under the previous Administration.
“A letter was directed by the
Poet Office Department to Attorn
ey General Robert Kennedy on
March 1, 1961, advising him that
the Department was initiating the
toughest crackdown in history on
purveyors of mail order obscenity,
and that this would result in ad
ditional cases being referred to U. S.
Attorneys,” Day said.
"The Attorney General, in re
ply, pledged the wholehearted co
operation of the Justice Department
in this program. Since that time,
not one obscenity case has been
attacked through the Administra
i which had been
prior to that time.”
Postal Service investi
resulted in 60S obscenity
the fiscal year end
30, and 503 convictions.
Still pend in a number of
made during the 1962 fiscal
year. The Postmaster General was
praise of U. S. Attorn
We nation, "with
out whose dedicated assistance
this record eould not have been at
tained.” ! r
"I consider this outstanding rec
ord as heartening evidence that
our quiet but determined program
of stepped-up criminlal prosecutions
against those who use the mails for
obscene purposes has reaped the
type of dividends anticipated when
our program was launched last
year," Mr. Day commented.
"The Supreme Court decision in
the Manual Enterprises case only
serves to .strengthen my long-held
conviction that the way to stop
these peddlers of pornography from
polluting the minds and undermin
ing the morals of our society is to
bring criminal indictments against
them.”
