Postal Officials Admit False-Name Subscriptions By JOHN MARSHALL Telegram's State Correspondent WICHITA (HNS) Salina and Lawrence postal officials admitted in U.S. District Court Thursday that they bought magazine subscriptions under false names to collect evidence for federal indictments in 1974 against a New York Publisher, his company and a former partner. Although the magazines are alleged to be obscene, the postal officials said they had not read them, or even opened the sealed envelopes in which they were mailed. Instead, the magazines were sent to New York for authorities to use later as evidence in arguments before a Wichita federal grand jury. Publisher Alvin Goldstein arid his former partner, James Buckley, and Milky Way Productions, are charged with 13 counts of using the federal mails to distribute allegedly obscene magazines in Kansas.

The trial was recessed until 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. An hour before the 4 p.m. recess, R. D.

Schweitzer, director of customer service for the Salina Post Office, testified he used a phony name, "William Olson," and blind address, "Box 334, Salina," to buy a 52-week subscription to "Screw" magazine in late 1973. Arthur Standfield and Donald Wetzel, of the Lawrence Post Office, also said they bought a "Screw" subscription under the false name, "Ted Manning," and blind address, "Box 802, Lawrence." Standfield is Lawrence mail processing manager, and Wetzel is manager of customer service. Harris News Service also has reported that postal officials at two other Kansas cities Hutchinson and Pratt also used phony subscriptions to buy "Screw" and "Smut, the World's Dirtiest Paper." Goldstein, Buckley, and Milky Way, the publishing firm, were indicted in December, 1974, by a federal grand jury at Wichita. The charges' include mailing "numerous issues of obscene tabloids" to Kansas. Postal officials' testimony will be a prime issue in the trial.

Defendants claim that because no private complaints were filed, and because postal service officials ordered employes to buy but not read the magazines, the actions may be entrapment. Government prosecutors claim that they need not show the magazines are foisted on a unwilling public, but merely prove the mails were used and the material is obscene. Is a magazine obscene if it is not read? Schweitzer testified that he received a letter in November, 1973 from U.S. Postal Inspector New York, ordering him. to buy a "Screw" subscription.

With the letter was a subscription form filled with the phony name "William Olson" and a $25 money order payable to Schweitzer. Schweitzer said his instructions were to cash the money order and purchase another $25 money order under the phony name; then he was to send the subscription and money order to Milky Way productions at New York. Schweitzer said he later received sealed envelopes from Milky Way and that he believed that they contained "Screw" magazine. Goldstein's lawyer, Herald Fahringer, asked Schweitzer what happened next. "You simply put the sealed envelope in another envelope and mailed it back to Mr.

Fahringer asked. "Yes," Schweitzer said. "You never saw this publication, you never read it?" Fahringer asked. "No," Schweitzer said. "And the next time you received an envelope from Milky Way, you just put it in another envelope, the same day, and mailed it to New York, never reading or opening it? The same process, again and again?" "That's right," Schweitzer said.

Buckley's lawyer, Arthur Schwartz, of Denver, asked Schweitzer if he ever bought Page 3 Garden City Telegram Friday, May 28,1976 "Screw" magazine under his own name. "No." said Schweitzer. "The idea of getting this magazine came from New York it never came from anybody in Kansas, and you yourself were never Interested in getting 'Screw' magazine?" "No," Schweitzer said. Standfield and Wetzel said they also acted under Lorn- bardi's orders to use the same process by which they were mailed editions of "Screw" with phony subscription forms and false names on money orders.

On the west, the commission signed an ordinance annexing the Oswalt Division of Butler Manufacturing land into the city as well as the Hagers Modular Home Subdivision, northwest of the Oswalt plant. Commissioners voted at their last meeting to have the staff draw up the necessary ordinance to annex those two tracts and finalized the annexation this week. To the east, the commission voted to approve the recommendations of the Holcomb-Garden City-Finney County Planning Commission to annex two tracts of land which are yet unplatted. One of the tracts is east of present Labrador Ridge and to include a tract 150 feet east of Fleming extended north of Loan Plan Is Near Completion Mary. The land is to be platted for residential use.

The.other east-of-town tract is not adjoining the present city limits and will be "skip annexed." It is west of US50 and US83 Alternates and north of US50. It is to be developed as the site for a new motel. Both the eastern tracts were given a tentative nod for annexation, contingent upon written consent for annexation from the dwners and the approval of, the final plat of the land involved. Community Development director for Garden City, Herman Merritt, is now proceeding with the last step in making low-interest loans available to low-income Garden Citians.

Loans, on which the borrower will pay as low as seven per cent interesti are be used for rehabilitation'of sub-standard housing in' the" city. Interest rates will vary according to the borrower's ability to pay. Garden City Commissioners approved the final proposal for the loans this week. That proposal will be given to various lending institutions in the city to see if they would be interested in working with the city on the program.

Police Capt. Jimmy Grenz said the machine, valued at $10,650, has been missing since some time after the 3-i Show, April 22-25, from the Finney County Fairgrounds. Grenz said and Irrigation of Hastings, brought the scraper down for the show and had left it on the fairgrounds. About a week later, he said, the company sent a man down to pick it up. Grenz said the man hauled away a scraper, but when he got it back to Nebraska, it was discovered that he had taken the wrong one.

The detective said the company wasn't too worried. The businessmen, he said, noted that the scraper they had in their possession belonged to a firm in Oklahoma. They thought there had just been a mix up that the Oklahoma company had their scraper. Not so, said Grenz, The Oklahoma firm had not yet been to Garden City to pick up its machine. So, one scraper is missing.

It's prettyVbig, but small enough to be able to be pulled by a pickup truck. It's an Allis- Chalmers brand. Anyone who has any information concerning the scraper is being asked to contact the detective division at the GCPD.
