Cops and Park Dept. officials in Berkeley, Calif., scurry to outdo one another in announcing "big drive on deviates" after patrolman Robert Burks issued report that Aquatic Park was "gathering place for perverts," that there were lewd drawings on restroom walls, that restrooms were filthy and in state of disrepair. OUTCOME: after much official shouting, and promise of greater police vigilance, a decision to close down most of Park's public "cans."

SACRAMENTO: Cops in much publicized drive on alleged "sex perversion ring" in state capital after 17-yr-old boy told them he'd had sex with several men (his mother got suspicious about "gifts" and contacted juvenile authorities.) At least 11 other persons, ranging in age from 14-71, have been arrested in topcop Hicks' all-out investigation, including an instructor from Sacramento Jr. College, two college students, an interior decorator, a postal employee and a dentist who was the Jr. C. of C.'s "outstanding young man" of 1951 and a local Republican leader. Some allegedly have signed confessions. Two more "prominent" arrests at least are expected. Juvenile officers Francis Gregory and Phillip York said the "sex ring" may have 2025 members.

LONDON: In 2 raids on a Picadilly coffee-bar, cops backed by Alsatian dogs, took names and addresses of 158 men, and arrested owners, who were found guilty of permitting disorderly conduct, and fined them. Police said all the customers were perverts or male prostitutes, waiters were homosexual (one waiter's fiance, who also worked there, hotly denied that).

Undercovercops said they'd been propositioned, had heard effeminate conversation ("Oh, darling, what a beautiful big man! Shall ask him if he's been kissed by the sun all over?"-"Billy, darling, don't worry, he won't find out about us," etc.) and saw men wearing tight jeans, moccasins and even make-up. Proprietors said many artists and showpeople came to bar, but denied they'd seen any indecencies, such as kissing and fondling officers described.

Last Halloween, Mr. Peter Fabiano was shot to death at his door answering a late "trick or treat" knock. In December, Goldyne Pizer, widow, admitted firing shot at instigation of Joan Rabel (to whom she was attracted), a former roommate of Mrs. Peter Fabiano. Divorcee Mrs. Rabel allegedly told her Fabiano was evil, destructive man, who'd frequently molested her and mistreated his wife, then she urged Goldyne to shoot him. They drove to house in borrowed car. Afterwards, "Joan thanked me and kissed me."
