ever follow Sweden's example in abolishing the laws on homosexuality. We hide our sins behind a false facade and give out with a "holier than thou" propaganda. I have travelled in fifteen foreign countries and believe me we aren't fooling anybody. Abroad, Americans have a reputation for having very low morals.

I was both pleased and appalled to hear my favorite ONE advertised over KBLA last night, pleased that it should be attempted at all, but appalled that it should be done so badly. My criticism is meant to be constructive and I mention it only because you represent us all and I do not like us to appear ignorant. ONE represents what I consider an intelligent viewpoint; this should be reflected in any advertising you do.

EDITOR'S REPLY

Dear Mr. T.:

You apparently find it disturbing that ONE should be advertised on a radio program featuring pop music and hill-billy songs.

If you can tell us the name of a more suitable program which will accept paid advertising for ONE Magazine, The Homosexual Viewpoint, we would be pleased to know of it. Also, if you know of another radio station anywhere in the United States that has accepted such advertising we would be glad to learn of it.

Meanwhile, don't you feel that it is realistic to acquaint those who listen to pop music and hill-billy songs with what you term "an intelligent viewpoint''? It surely won't harm them.

MISCELLANEY Friends:

Thought you might be interested in the enclosed clippings. As you know, New York is in the midst of an outbreak of juvenile crime. Many of us fear that Mr. Kennedy, our Police Commissioner will fall back on that old police standby-a gay purge, and it seems like our worst fears are coming through. Oh well! C'est la vie. We have all lived through these things before and guess we will live through many more.

Suppose you heard about the arrest over the weekend of forty-two men in one of our local theaters. The charge was lewd vagrancy, although a few were allowed to go free for lack of evidence.

Dear Editors:

Milan is a very cliquish place. Social life centers around the Duomo and La Scala areas -slightly minty." In the smaller cities Italians. are particularly lovable and of easy virtue. In Switzerland there appears to be a moralistic attitude. On the Riviera everything is available, of course, for a price. I was surprised to meet a teen-age German "camper" who wanted to buy his own breakfast the next day.

In Mallorca, too, they have the feeling that all Americans are rich. Life centers around the bars which are on the street at the top of the hill. I find the young men of Lisbon quite nice and very friendly. Paris is Paris, and can be expensive. Brittany is dull. Venice Lido is free and easy, sort of like a Florida, without the usual cash outlay afterwards.

In a week I leave for Germany, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, then to the Orient for a month, and then to the States. There is nothing quite like the college crew-cut!

Dear Bill:

Mr. H. Milan, Italy

As was indicated in my note from London, things are not what they once were there, as far as could be discovered. One can and does meet many of the clan at Hyde Park and the Marble Arch, but the Wolfenden Report seems to have done nothing more than create an atmosphere of suspicion regarding the motives of anyone who asks someone a question. Perhaps the terrific influx of tourists has had a lot to do with driving the Life underground.

However, a lot of time and money can be saved by passing by the usual attractions of by-gone days and tripping directly to Naples. One can find congenial company and a healthy acceptance of life by not waiting to explore the usual tourist-traps. Rather, take the first bit of transportation offered and get up into the Vomero section.

The glories that were once of Pompeii, the freedom of healthy homophilic expression-all that in our fondest dreams we would have as the accepted norm-are to be found in the Vomero. Three weeks were spent there, and I'm afraid that this old battered heart has been left behind there.

See Naples and die is true-death to the priggish, puritanical repressions of Nordic civilization-birth, and life, to the acceptance of one's true nature. It is not surprising to find there a complete absence of the usual hieroglyphics and drawings one is accustomed to finding in public places. There is no need for such expression of repressions by either child or adult.

Mr. P.

Mich.
