24 THI TENNESSEAN, Saturday, Oct. 27. 1973 pcatlt polices I gcatlt fatten Three Held Innocent In Lewd Film Case Orville M. Myracle DECATURVILLE, Tenn. -Orville M.

Myracle, 79, a retired farmer of Decaturville, died yesterday in Decatur County General Hospital, Parsons, Tenn. Services will be at 2 p.m. today at Campground Presbyterian Church. Burial will be in the church cemetery. The body is at Parsons Mortuary, Parsons.

Survivors include two sons, Alfred and Edwin Myracle, Decaturville; two daughters, Mrs. Kathleen Sykes, St. Louis, and Mrs. Louise Wyatt, Cedar Hill, two brothers, John, Decaturville, and H. W.

Myracle, Reagan, seven grandchildren and turned them over to the FBI nearly a year later, after he found them on the floor of a closet in his department. Morton told the panel that they had to find the films to he obscene under both tests he gave them. He said, "Under the first test, obscenity is defined in the following terms: whether to the average person, applying contemporary community standards, the dominant theme of the material taken as a whole appeals to the prurient interest." Under that definition, he continued, the work must be both patently offensive and utterly without redeeming social value. Under the second test, he charged the jury, the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find 1) the work taken as a whole appeals to the prurient interest 2) is patently offensive and 3) the material taken as a whole lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value. "Prurient interest," Morton said, is material which appeals to and excites "shameful, morbid, degrading, unhealthy or unwholesome interests, thoughts or desires." An "average person," he continued, is one who is neither "a libertine, nor a prude not one who is oversexed or undersexed in short, a normal, healthy, average adult man or woman with normal, healthy, average attitudes, instincts and interests toward sex." Mohney, who was sentenced earlier this year to a year in the Metro workhouse in a state court trial, has a motion for a new trial pending.

He was also sentenced to 30 days in jail in Covington, recently but that case is on appeal. By PAT WELCH Three Michigan men, charged with transporting three obscene 8 millimeter movies to Tennessee in 1971, were found innocent last night by a youthful federal court jury. The three defendants were Harry V. Mohney, president of International News, Thomas Hollis the former secretary and bookkeeper, and Charles Mello, identifed as the manager of International's warehouse of sexually explicit materials in Durand, Mich. LARRY D.

WOODS, attorney for International New said "We're elated. We're thrilled." U. S. Dist. Judge L.

Clure Morton told the six women and six men that they must apply a statewide standard of candor in sexual matters in deciding whether the three movies were obscene under a two-fold test. Morton admitted he was making new law in the fith Circuit in defining "contemporary community standards" as the entire state of Tennessee in the first federal prosecution here since June 21, when U.S. Supreme Court said a national standard of sexual frankness should be changed. The court's iurisdiction includes onlv the 34 counties in Middle Tennessee. THE JURORS, Weary after hours of deliberation, would not discuss their considerations with the press.

Jury Foreman George F. Pugh. 34, said the publication of their names, ages and addresses put some of them in a compromising situation." The Jury, all but four of whom are under 30, indicated thev had felt some pressure in being asked to be censors for the State, Rut Pugh, pies-sed to answer whether the jury acquitted the defendants Los Angeles' Criteria Rest On 'Throat' LOS ANGELES (UPI) -The movie "Deep Throat" may become the example of what community standards will or will not allow in sex films. District Atty. Joseph Busch said Thursday that his office will bring two men to trial again for showing the movie, in hopes of establishing obscenity guidelines.

THE TRIAL of the owner and the manager of the Pussycat Theater on obscenity charges ended in a mistrial last week, with the jury deadlocked at 9 to 3 for ac-quitta'. He is bringing the men to trial again, Busch said, because "we have a state law against obscenity which prosecutors are required by law to enforce. A clear cut decision in this case will enable us to define what is enforceable. Such a decision will inform prosecutors concerning public acceptance or rejection of theatrical presentations of the graphic depiction of sexual act Defense lawyers in the first trial argued that the film must not offend the community, because half a million persons have paid $5 apiece to see it. Sfafe Men Nominated As Marshals WASHINGTON (UPI) -President Nixon nominated eight U.S.

marshals yesterday for appointment to four-year terms. They include: Leon T. Campbell, 50, of Columbia, who has been marshal for the Middle District of Tennessee since Oct. 5, 1969. Leon B.

Sutton, 50, of Maryville, who has been marshal for the Eastern District of Tennessee since Oct. 9, 1969. George R. Tallenl, 60, of Memphis, who has been marshal for the Western District of Tennessee since Oct. 2, 1969.

PHILLIPS ROBINSON because of the weakness of the government's case or the finding that the films, three short "stag" '-lovies of poor quality, were not obscene, said: "It had to be the movies because that's what the case was about." Asst. U. S.

Atty. Ray Whitley, who assisted U. S. Atty. Charles H.

Anderson in the prosecution, said later that if the films, which included one of a woman performing oral sex acts on a German Shepherd, were not obscene, "Then there's no such thing as obscenity." THAT WAS almost the position taken by the four defense experts, who contendede that sexually explicit films and other materials satisfy a normal, healthy human interest in sex. The only "bad" sex, they indicated, is that which incorporates violence or exploites another person. The Rev. Theodore McIII-venna, director of the National Sex Forum, of San Francisco, said that research from sex seminars conducted in Nashville showed Nashville and the South have pretty much the same attitudes about sexual frankness as the rest of the country. He produces sexually explicit material for schools, churches and the federal government, he said.

Four former employes of International's Nashville operation testified earlier in the three-day trial that the films in question were ordered by telephone from Durand, sent to Clarksville, and picked up there by a truck driver from Nashville. HAROLD MANNING, former general manager, said the three films came out of two boxes of some 400 he received from the truckdriver. He to establish a full-time office in Nashville and heard Gov. Winfield Dunn warn against a "floodtide of hysteria" over Watergate and the Mideast. Named as the TAB'S first full-time executive director was J.

Kenneth Marslon, executive vice president and general manager of the Dixie Network, a group of six Tennessee and Mississippi stations headquartered in Jackson, Tenn. MARSTON. A broadcaster in Tennessee for 25 years, was manager of WDXE at Lawrenceburg for eight years. Day-to-day operations of the TAB have been conducted for years by the department of broadcasting of the College of Communications at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, with Ray Shirley of the broadcasting department working parttime for TAB as executive secretary. Addressing the broadcasters by telephone from Nashville, Dunn said he had been greatly concerned over some of the "dark and unhealthy suspicions" about the national government in the past few days.

HE NOTED THAT there had been allegations that the President "concocted" Thursday's precautionary alert over Voters To Fill Two Franklin Court Seats WINCHESTER, jn the First and Second Magisterial districts of Franklin County will go to the polls Saturday to fill two vacancies on the county quarterly court. In the First District, Fred. (Pete) Holmes, attendance teacher for the county school system, is unopposed in his bid to succeed the late Herman Atnip. TWO CANDIDATES are seeking the Second District seat vacated by Dr. R.

H. Davison, a veterinarian who resigned from the court after taking a position with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They are Gary Smith, a presentation specialist with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration at Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, and Billy J. Hasty, an employe of ARO Inc.

Visitation with the From Wirt Reports GATLINBURG, Tenn. -The Tennessee Association of Broadcasters voted yesterday Older Music Proves To Be Engrossing By LOUIS NICHOLAS New York Pro Musica proved again last night at Massey Auditorium in its third consecutive season on the Friends of Chamber Music-Bel mont College Series that music of earlier ages when performed as they do it is just as engrossing for contemporary audiences as that of the present day. The five vocalists and five Instrumentalists are mostly the same as were here last year, and they were in equally fine form. THE FIVE-VOICE en-semble (two sopranos, countertenor, tenor and bass) accounts for a tremendous body of Renaissance vocaj literature, and these singers sing as a fine string quartet plays with the most exact adjustment of pitch, the most perfect blending of tone, and the most sensitive of shadings and pacings that one could desire. Their solo contributions were all equally distinguished.

The instrumentalists, playing on a wide variety of instruments of the time (or skillful reproductions of them), such as flute, recorder, crumhorn, viol, lute, harpsichord, regal, and a number of others, were able to provide a variety of instrumental background for the vocal solos, and some of the ensembles, and to present very delightful instrumental dances and other pieces. LAST NIGHT'S program was almost wholly confined to that brief golden period in England near the end of Queen Elizabeth I's reign that saw the publication of a regular flood of collections of madrigals by John Dowland, Thomas Campian, Thomas 1 John Wilbye, Thomas Morley, Robert Jones, and others. All these were represented on last night's program, along with such instrumental composers as John Adson, Anthonv the Mideast in an attempt to divert national attention from Watergate. "I think this is a very dangerous and frightening situation," the governor said. "We can't let that kind of thinking overpower our logic and common sense." Dunn said he never had been more aware of the responsibility of the news media than he has in the recent past.

Walter A. Schwrtz, president of ABC-TV, told the broadcaster that drug addiction, violence and abortion are proper fare for television programs because they are subjects "our audience encounters with increasing frequency." SCHWARTZ SAID broad casters should not question whether to present the problems, but "how to present them with taste, sensitivity and balance." "Bread and circuses alone would never sustain a society," he said. Richard E. Wiley, a memhrr of the Federal Communications Commission, told the TAB that fairness in broadcasting "is nothing more than the essence of good journalism." "I am convinced that too much governmental intervention in this area will lead not to robust and wide-open debate, but to programming which is safe, secure and very, very bland," Wiley said. WILEY, appointed to the FCC by President Nixon in January 1972, said the FCC is nearing the end of a two-year study of the fairness doctrine and a final report on its findings should be issued by the end of the year.

The commissioner said he did not favor the abolition of the fairness doctrine, but described as a "total perversion of the doctrine" the restrictions placed cigarette advertising in the broadcast media. Tommy King, general sales manager of WSM-TV in Nashville, was elected president of the TAB, succeeding Hugh (Skip) Trotter, manager of WSEV in Sevierviile. Reeve Owen of WTVC-TV in Chattanooga was named vice president for East Tennessee; John Bailey of WJZM in Clarksville, vice president for Middle Tennessee, and D. A. Noel of WHBQ-TV in Memphis, vice president for West Tennessee.

Jerry Adams of WMAK in Nashville was elected ronce Department has m- dieted eight more policemen, including former Chief Calvert L. Warren. A four-count indictment, charging malfeasance and nonfeasance in office, was returned Thursday against Warren, who retired as chief last summer during the heat of the corruption controversy. Seven other policemen were indicted on charges ranging from bribery to grand larceny, bring to 14 the number of officers indicted by the grand jury since August. James D.
