TALKTALK

Delegates at Conservative Women's Conference call for return of "cat" for sex crimes. Actually corporal punishment was not used for sex crimes, and one delegate, Miss Hornsby-Smith tried amid interruptions, to suggest Conference was being misled by hysterical newspaper headlines about increase of sex crimes. . . .

Mr. W. C. Landman of Watford told Assoc. of Hospital and Welfare Administrators that child care seemed to have great attraction for homosexuals. Admitting most facilities were understaffed, he still called for more thorough screening of applicants-"We would still prefer to be short rather than have these dirty people."

Arguments continue regarding Wolfenden Report. Proposals to liberalize law were given cold-shoulder by Thomas More Society and Guild of St. Luke, as well as by the General of Salvation Army, and General Assembly of Church of Scotland (Presbyterian). Following Church and Nation Committee majority, the General Assembly voted heavily against "blurring the distinction between right and wrong behavior."

Brief but warm discussion took place in THE TABLET, a Catholic paper, when Mr. Richard O'Sullivan attacked Wolfenden proposals as contrary to Church traditions and English Common Law. Other writers, while agreeing homosexual acts are sinful, insisted Church did not expect to blur distinction between sin and crime, nor is it proper in Christian veiw for state to punish all acts Church views as sinful.
