edge or intelligence on your pan or on the part of your co-workers. ONE's record for excess and irresponsibility is such that here in New York City the organization is known as the Gay Muslims.

I would suggest that you concern yourself less with my responsibility and competence, and that of Mr. Masters', and more with achieving responsibility and competence of your own.

Donald Webster Cory, whose "Homosexuality, A Cross Cultural Approach" was published by Julian Press wrote concerning R.E.L. Masters' "The Homosexual Revolution," also published by Julian Press: (ONE Magazine, August, 1962) "If ever an author made a more open avowal of the inadequacy of his alleged research, of his utter ignorance of his subject matter and of his incompetence to handle it, this has failed to come to our attention."

Friends:

disagree with Mr. Nichols (Letters, February, 1963) about ONE representing only the Southern Californian. He should refer to the Magazine (January, 1963) in which my comments on Cherry Grove were given a full page in "Tangents." News from other areas could be covered if people would send in news articles.

March Confidential exposed a local sado-masochist bar. Although I consider myself tolerant toward all segments of gay society I feel that the very destructive nature of sadomasochism may darken the freedom and future of the normal homosexuals fighting for our basic rights. M. G. Brooklyn, New York

Dear sirs.

Being a transplanted New Yorker I was delighted to come across the item concerning "The Grove" but once into it was dismayed to see it publicized in a bad light by that doubtful newspaper in the Village and the article in your Magazine.

Homosexuality in and around New York City is a difficult life because of the graft and influx of small-town swishes who congregate on famous intersections and parade down the notable boulevards. Hollywood suffers much in the same

way.

I'm in New York for a nine-day theater spree. In the Village I felt a complete outsider, and nothing seemed to be happening there. Everyone is so "cold", so my next trip will be to LA I suppose as people are much less inhibited there. I never seem to get a chance to meet the kind of people I seek. Mr. M. Chicago, Illinois

Dear ONE:

This has been a difficult year here. I know of two teachers who were dismissed for being gay. One of them was probably removed because of student pressure and yet there wasn't any actual fact brought up in the case.

Was in Europe last summer and though I was with others who did not know about me I did find a few interesting places. I'd say Copenhagen would be a nice place to live in!

Dear sir:

Mr. A. Moscow, Idaho

I would like to have more infor-
