Gs :c:Hiic:f::ii! : FIRST DISARM, THEN LOOT Basically, the drive to first register and then confiscate firearms is not an attack on guns, per se, but part and parcel of the Socialist drive against the right of the individual to own and control property. If they can deprive you of your property in guns with impunity, then, it follows as night follows day, that they can take anything or everything you own. Rather than crime and reducing the putting dow-number of criminals, as the gunbanners falsely claim, a gun ban law will create a black market traffic in guns almost overnight and make criminals of millions of citizens whose only crime is that of owning property. Speaking of criminals and crime: What is a criminal if it is not a person who has a crass disrespect for the property rights of other persons? And, what is a crime if it is not an act in which that disrespect is demonstrated? -- (Jazette Telegraph FEDERAL CONVICTION PITTSBURGH IN The owner of three Pittsburgh adult" theaters and his former manager were convicted in U.S. District Court in November of transportation of pornographic films, and interstate conspiracy to violate federal obscenity laws.

ABUSE OF TV POWER Chief Judge David L. Baclon of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. speaking at a dinner of the Federal Communications Bar Association in November called on the leaders of the television industry to admit their abuse of the immense power of television for t he private profit of a few". He said they must stop prostituting the medium for profit or risk losing some constitutional protection of freedom of the press. The strong attack came from the Judge who presides over the Federal Court to Which the Government and citizens appeal for rulings, one of the Government agencies being the FCC. Judge Bazelon lashed out at the commercialism of the broadcast media: They know or should know when their programming is simply and only mass-appe- al Pablum. designed to titillate a sufficiently large majority to enable the broadcasters to sell the most advertising. . They know when they arc presenting only one side of a major public issue, w hen they are shading the facts to present their ow n point of view and when they are ignoring the concerns of the industry. They know the impact of their programs on children; they know about the marketing of human emotions and of the prurient interest in violence and sex. They know' when they subvert the professionalism of their own news teams in order to reach the demographic audiences which will attract advertisers. In sum. I think they know the times they may have prostituted of the tremendous potential comtelevision as a human munications tool. They know this, and they know what should be done about it." he went on. "The program executives and their advertiser clients must stop their single-minde- d purpose to achieve higher ratings, more advertising and greater profits, and stop to consider what greater purposes television should serve. And they must do it soon if we are to preserve our First Amendment values for telecommunications." The Judge said he did not intend his attack to lead to further Federal regulation.
