No. 706
Decision of the Indecent Publications Tribunal

IN the matter of the Indecent Publications Act 1963, and in the matter of an application by Hodder and Stoughton Ltd. for a decision in respect of the book One Last Mad Embrace by Jack Trevor Story, published by Sphere Books Ltd., London.

There was no appearance of the applicant. Accordingly no submissions were made.

DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL

THIS is another cheap paperback novel by the author of Hitler Needs You. Like Hitler Needs You, this story is also extremely disjointed and has no literary merit.

The novel is ostensibly a mystery involving murder, blackmail, and large sums of illgotten money, but these are merely subplots; the central theme being the seduction by a precocious young girl of an all too eager middle-aged man. The girl herself claims she is 12 years old, and while there is some debate about it, her true age is never established. The story culminates in the last few pages, with the sexual union of the central character and the girl. The rest of the book forms the prelude to this act and is told in a manner intended to titillate the reader.

Taken over all, this book is thoroughly unwholesome and without any redeeming features.

The Tribunal classifies this book as indecent.

No. 707
Decision of the Indecent Publications Tribunal

IN the matter of the Indecent Publications Act 1963, and in the matter of an application by Hodder and Stoughton Ltd. for a decision in respect of the book Hitler Needs You by Jack Trevor Story, published by Sphere Books Ltd., London.

There was no appearance of the applicant. Accordingly no submissions were made.

DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL

Hitler Needs You is a paperback novel about a 16-year old boy’s attempts to discover the murderer of a girl whom he secretly admired. During the course of the investigations the young man has his first sexual encounters.

The book is cheaply produced and the story is extremely disjointed, giving the impression of being hastily written. However, while the book lacks any literary merit, its sexual content is minimal and the book cannot be termed indecent within the terms of the Act.

The Tribunal classifies this book as not indecent.

R. S. V. SIMPSON, Chairman.
