THE BUREAU OF PUBLIC INFORMATION
ONE inaugurates the Bureau of Public Information with this issue. This regular section will be devoted to the exposure of illegal acts and unscientific statements made publicly by persons of influence. No matter how highly placed, ONE will challenge them with all the weight of its thousands of readers. ONE has strength. ONE now uses it. In addition, this feature will commend advances made on the subject of deviation and print all available information about them as well. The reader is invited to nominate persons for the attention of the Bureau of Public Information.

MIAMI JUNKS THE
"We Had No Charges . . ."
The reason why the Miami. "cleanup" can be called an outrage has nothing to do with abnormality or even sex. What's more, even those who protested this rotten mixture of politics and "perversion" missed the one basic point themselves. In eight clippings it is mentioned only once. Can it be that the other papers suppressed or were blind to the significance of the following as reported in the Miami Herald, 21 November 53?

The chief said the 21 persons taken to headquarters all males were questioned about their employment and identification. "We had no charges we could book them on," Chief Shepard said, "but it's just a question of cleaning up a bad situation and letting undesirables know they're not wanted here."

It is amazing that ONE a whole nation away should be the first to protest this clear-cut violation of individual rights. Today's papers are crammed with screaming headlines about the blessedness of Our Way of Life, yet the entire nation and all of Miami sits quietly by as a minor police official violates the Constitution. Unless this man hasn't the proper background for his job he knows that NO ONE CAN BE ARRESTED OR DETAINED ON SUSPICION WITHOUT SPECIFIC CHARGES BEING PLACED AGAINST HIM. IT IS ILLEGAL TO QUESTION A DEFENDANT BEFORE DETERMINING WHETHER HE WISHES TO SPEAK THROUGH HIS ATTORNEY. IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL TO HIDE OR WITHHOLD HIS RIGHTS FROM HIM.
