ORITO THE Appellee was charged with knowingly transporting obscene material by common carrier in interstate commerce, in violation of 18 U. S. C. 1462. The District Court granted his motion, to dismiss, holding the statute unconstitutionally overbroad for failing to distinguish between public and nonpubUc transportation. Appellee relies on Stanley v. Georgia, 394 U. S. 557. Held: Congress has the power to prevent obscene material, which is not protected by the First Amendment, from entering the stream of commerce.

The economic overheated expansion in the first quarter was-a- t an 8.6 per cent annual rate. The second quarter expansion was at a 2.7 per cent rate. Nixon people say it is as a result of their efforts to cod the inflationary expansion. What they arent saying is that the expansion i$ at a slower rate because' almost all industries have reached output limitations hardly any room for increased production. Moreover, the buying surge is still in heat. r lower Corporate economists doubt whether a percentage expansion will help reduce corporate order backlogs. That isnt likely until the Administration does something about rapid-fir- e price increases and cuts federal spending. quarter Clean Air (UPI)-Rus- sef) WASHINGTON to head the.' nominated Train, newly Environmental Protection Agency.

They feel recent record buying to beat climbing (inflationary) prices has filled family needs. And an easing in new homebuilding will slow the market for furniture, major appliances and home furnishings. Their one fear is the slowing in buying may signal a business downturn that could extend into a recession. Expect a wave of hastened development of deposits in northwestern Colorado. This despite an upcoming howl from environmental leaders and ecologists. Its noted that the new energy czar is Gov. John Love of Colorado.
