criminal element of their ilk and sex deviates who have forced others into unnatural acts and molested little children. Do they have gall? Whether the Church and State is sound asleep or caught unawares in their responsibility to safeguard public morals and decency or not, nobody is doing anything about the sale of these magazines, while the police see to remain blissfully aware of this outrageous encroachment on the unsuspecting public. The magazine headlines the activity of homos in Miami and Los Angeles and sets forth its views on how the homos are organizing in all parts of the World to increase the urge to sin. One headline reads: 'Great Civilizations plagued by Deviates,' Another is 'How L. A. Handles Its 150,000 Perverts. What is San Francisco doing? The boldest gesture of the homos who are constantly looking for favorite gathering spots, is printed in the magazine, titled 'one' which states, 'In California the homosexuals have organized to resist interference by police . . .'"'

Readers will easily understand that the above nonsense from KEYHOLE REPORTER does not express ONE's opinion, any more than the so-called quotes dishonestly lifted from ONE where they appeared only as quotes from the MIAMI NEWS, a paper whose opinions we do not share.

Some readers feel the lies and moronic pieties of the guttersnipe merely should be ignored. Little need to complain that the smut-andslander publications misrepresent and misquote us. What puzzles us is the way these guttersnipes pose as guardians of morality. Most mags of the ilk are fascinated by the homosexual theme. A recent BARE "exposed" Shakespeare as a

"pervert" and a picture story alleged to show London male prosties in operation. BARE warned that "fruits" were about to take over the country. PIC suggested that homosexuals were competing with prostitutes. Many others have stretched press freedom to its utmost limits or beyond, with revelations" about film stars, etc. . . . "There's-a-lot-ofsin-in-Sweden" has been a favored theme since TIME called this tune... Atty. Jerry Geisler, representing individuals who have filed several libel suits against CONFIDENTIAL and other scandal magazines, named a Bey Hills "research" firm as source of many of the revelations . . . VP Nixon's aide suing BEHIND-THESCENES ... True that many public figures have skeletons in their closets. (perhaps belonging to kin) yet readers are foolish to assume that anything these rags print must be true. There is no government process that bars publication of falsehood or slander. The victim can (after the libel appears) risk several hundred or thousand dollars, further bad publicity and many days in court (perhaps in another state) for the slight chance of a printed retraction (which will be less convincing than the original slander). Cash settlements are rare since most of these blackmail mags are fly-by-nite outfits with no tangible assets tho the editors and publishers manage to live on their take-home pay . . .
