My congratulations to you on your August number. I waited quite a while for it, and the wait was well worthwhile. The articles are hard-fisted, aggressive and virile, from editorial to book review, and were greatly appreciated.
I wish that the Postmaster and Postal Inspectors in every large city were required to read Gregory's comments on our Postal Regulations, and am sure they would each of them know more about the rights and privileges of the American Citizen and would very likely know more about the Postal Regulations as well.

Your article on postal censorship has me worried. Please cancel my subscription immediately!

The August issue is different, but good. I have often wondered about the postal scrutiny of return addresses, but have felt if they stooped to such behavior the accused were of nobler stripe than the accusers. Moreover, I have run away from myself for much too long already; I have no intention of continuing the retreat. The Case History was most interesting. Mr. H.

I would like to express my appreciation of your Magazine and the work that it is doing. I regret that I cannot renew my subscription as it has been brought to my attention by our customs that they have decided to ban it. To avoid a prosecution I must forgo renewal. Perhaps the future will prove better.

I just cannot remain silent over Miss Russell's editorial concerning Nazi Germany (June, 1961) wherein she classifies Jews and Communists along with homosexuals. This
one
certainly implies, and not too subtly at that, that in order to defend our own rights we must equally defend those of the Reds.
It has long been the Communist line that all minority groups should have freedom, when in reality they are interested only in their own. The attempt has for some time been to equate us with being ultra-liberal if not downright subversive. To be Gay one does not have to align himself with the Left in any fashion. In fact, while he may be a liberal as far as sex and sociology are concerned, he can be far to the Right politically.
There was much queer-baiting in Germany. However, our people who were put in camps there were those arrested for promiscuous and public activity. Even Hitler overlooked the homosexual nature of some of his top men, for he considered their talents more important than how they preferred to spend an evening.
Let us never forget that under a totalitarian bureaucratic state, Red or otherwise, we would lose even the freedoms we now cherish.

You at ONE are to be congratulated on the high scholarly approach so apparent in recent editions of ONE Institute Quarterly. Your educational division, in its publications, shows most encouraging signs of coming of age.
As for ONE Magazine, it is pleasant to note that the Letters Column contains a few stones thrown. Even the readers who find fault with some phases of the Magazine are interested in its future, otherwise they wouldn't write at all.
For what it's worth I find an excellent product of an obviously devoted staff. More pictures, more art work for ONE? I think not. Eve Elloree's works of art should continue, however, to grace your pages as long as they are available-they are terrific. George Mortenson should be called upon to execute more topnotch covers for future editions. His August one was most fitting. The quality and amount of art work in ONE need not be increased, let's just maintain it at the splendid point it has currently reached.
