Mr. E. A. Roli son <br />Page 2 <br />August 24 1954 <br />Done of the more extreme examples of the horror books were <br />found during the survey, possibly due to the voluntary <br />screening by the various merchants. <br />3. No le g islation, other than Section 311...3 P. C., exists for <br />the control of such displays, and none of the horror books <br />fall within the meaning of this section. District Attorney <br />Keith Sorenson has just returned from a conference in the <br />East at which this subject was discussed. Various opinions <br />were expressed as to the harm these books may do, and no <br />quick solution was offered. <br />In vi ew of the good co- operation extended to this departi <br />during this survey by the local merchants, it is n�v belief <br />that the merchants will, if requested by the Council, possibly <br />by resolution, go a long way toward eliminating the more sensa. <br />tional and possibly harmful books from their shelves. <br />Respectfully yours, <br />Mood <br />Chief of Police <br />M <br />
