attend this, your 1958 Institute, salute you! The re-convocation of the Minority evaluative Roundtable-even if only for a day-to be guided by the wealth of exploratory researches and examinations developed by the past year's INSTITUTE study marks a turning point in the maturating processes of ONE, Incorporated. Of such is the beginning of the answer to such wellintentioned but tower-oriented chuzzlewits as Geraldine Jackson.

Edward Denison (author of "A Winter Morning") writes: It is true of Miss. Jackson's criticisms that many gay people, especially younger people, are looking for uplift' in literature written on the subject and ONE should try to provide some of this. If you wanted to publish true confessions or success stories you should be able to find plenty of material; but how much of it would be good literature? I agree with her that 'The Echo of a Voice' is not a strong story; but it has an echo of pathos and a few interesting touches. Disagreeing with her, I'll state that homosexuals are a bit different and this difference should be reflected, if truth and not propaganda is the aim of ONE.

Surely most of the readers do not identify themselves with the victims of the law, but the question is, does ONE stand for sexual freedom (within certain limits of course) or does it not? This is the crux of the matter after all. In 'tangents' the lack of freedom and the consequences for certain individuals are most clearly shown. These things did not happen in the past, and they are not fictions of would-be authors. They are facts reported by the press. Wasn't it such reportage in England that bestirred the English to reconsider their laws regarding homosexual acts? No, it won't hurt the cause to publish these facts in ONE. You cannot emphasize the facts of life and law too strongly.

I agree with her that limp-wrist expressions should be avoided. Childlikeness, however, is one of the distinctive and beautiful traits of the homosexual. So don't go all out for the 'butch' and the 'mature.' If you can find it, publish bits of the delicate and the playful.
