In that era there was S.Ct case holding that "Fuck the War" (on a shirt) was not obscene because it did not appeal to the prurient interest, part of the Miller standard for obscenity, roughly meaning that the effect or intent was to produce sexual arousal.

Can't recall whether I reported Virginia Hill's explanation before the Kefauver Committee of her role as a mob courier, won't repeat it if I did, but if not I should tell it.
