Assistant State Attorney David Vinikoor said yesterday's viewing of the film "Sex by the Northwest Broward Rotary Club could be construed as an acceptable procedure to educate the public on hard-core pornography.

issue here is whether this procedure is an appropriate way to define community standards. I would tional tool," Vinikoor said. Yesterday's viewing was arranged by Coconut Creek Police Chief Joseph Hosford, who said he felt it was necessary to show the film "to educate the business community exactly what it is they face when an adult book store possibly wants to open up next to their shop." Hosford said the viewing, for about 30 Rotarians behind locked doors at the Coral Springs Country Club, "drove home the message. Many of the people were sickened by what they saw." Paul Barre, president of the Rota- Sunrise Probe Intensifies In recent days, the Broward State Attorney's Office has intensified its probe of alleged Sunrise government corruption as more than a dozen city employees and officials were called to the courthouse to give testimony, sources said. Those called include several former employees of the city's finance department, several council members, department heads and residents, according to the sources.

Councilman John Montgomery and City Council President Walter Shaw were among those asked to talk to investigators. The wide-ranging investigation is centering on a land sale that netted Mayor John Lomelo's wife $160,166 shortly after the mayor eased his opposition to development in the area of the property. Investigators also are interested in why the city purchased $7,000 worth of landscaping for the Sunrise Musical Theater for $125,000 from a company owned by a local lobbyist.

I'm sure many of the Rotarians, including myself, had an attitude that the adult book stores were being harassed over nothing. But I've certainly changed my mind," he said. "What I saw yesterday turned my stomach. "Even when this story comes out in today's paper, your readers have no idea what I am talking about because they were not in that room. We are talking about the foulest perversions you can Barre said.

Claiming that "sometimes you have to hit someone over the head with a two-by-four to get their attention," Hosford said he gladly would bring the films to other interested groups "if they, too, want to see exactly what hard core pornography is all about." Alexander Siegel, the attorney for the Colonel's Book Store in Fort Lauderdale, where the film shown yesterday was seized on April 2, 1976, admitted "this is one of the filthiest, most disgusting films I have ever seen. Hosford picked the worst of the lot."
