The House SelectCommittee on Current Pornographic Materials , commonly known as the Gathings Committee , was a Select or special committee United States Congress selectcommittee of the United States House of Representatives active in 1952 and 1953. Representative Ezekiel C. Gathings , Democratic Party United States Democrat from Arkansas , was its chairman, appointed by Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn . H. Ralph Burton was the committee s general counsel. Representative Gathings was troubled by the contents of the pulp literature , paperback books , and comic book s he saw on local newsstands, worried that they would stimulate young people to commit rape . He therefore launched a Congressional investigation into the paperback book industry, becoming so zealous that he earned the mockery of some journalists. The Committee began its investigation in 1952 and issued its report in 1953. The report alleged that 100 million obscenity obscene comic books were sold in the United States each month, that one in ten American men read girlie magazine s, and that these were problems calling for censorship on the Federal level. The chief result of the report was to turn Gathings into a wiktionary laughing stock laughing stock . References No Witch Hunt, Newsweek 7 July 1952 80 W. W.
