Then did the mayor proceed to give the sartorialy perfect gladâ€"handing fair president, Grover Whalen, a good goâ€" ingâ€"over. He was razzed for his love of being photographed. Mr. Whalen blushed and blushed again when the mayor spoke of the "highly scented perfume with which be always is adorned." The mayor on the same day did something constructive though. MHe delivered an ultimatum to 39 magazine dealers warning them to take filthy magazines off their stands. If other means failed to remove the magazines from the stands, he said, he would treat them as sewage to be disposed of. In laying down the law, he said, he was not being prudish about the matter but he was anxious to check juvenile delinquency, which he said, resulted from the reading of such sensational publications by children. "There is no remote suggestion of censorship here," he told the dealers assembled before a large panel covered with lurid magazine covers. "The conâ€" stitutional provisions for a free press are not applicable to filth and smut. I want to tell the news distributors especially that we will not tolerate any monkey business. I warn them not to monkey with meâ€"this is not Chicagoâ€" and T‘ll run them to hell out of town."
