Summary: Information By Miss Bartlett (Press, 20 November 1971)
On 19 November 1971, a private information was filed in the Auckland Magistrate's Court against Wilson and Horton, Ltd., charging them with printing an indecent document, specifically the "Thursday" magazine dated 13 May. The complaint was lodged by Miss Patricia Bartlett, who also accused the company of distributing the magazine, deemed indecent for individuals under 18 years of age, to Whitcombe and Tombs in Auckland. A hearing for this case has been scheduled for 8 December 1971. In a separate matter concerning national defence, it was announced that Mr J. F. Robertson, the Secretary of Defence, along with Major-General L. A. Pearce, the Chief of the General Staff, is set to visit South-East Asia later in November 1971. Their itinerary includes Malaysia, the Republic of Vietnam, and Thailand, with plans to return to New Zealand separately by mid-December. During their visit to Singapore, General Pearce and Mr Robertson will engage in observing the operations of the A.N.Z.U.K. force that was established earlier in November, as well as hold discussions with defence and military officials in the respective countries they visit.
