scalpels around, she says that the best way to treat sex offenders, particularly those guilty of sodomy, is to "cut out their illness." And people say we should let the "experts" do the investigating and pass the laws!

But back to the columnists, we find in the New York Standard that Peter Cook of "Beyond the Fringe" doesn't like homos, and complains about the number of them in New York City. And all those magazines for homos on sale!

NOTE: Homosexuals aren't welcome in the Virgin Islands!!

I find very interesting that report by Jack Mabley of the Chicago paper in which a psychiatrist, a youth counselor, and a priest (Catholic) unite in an appeal to parents to educate their children against the dangers of homosexuals. The reason given is that it's unnatural. Now I find it difficult to follow such logic. If nature has a law against something why do we need man-made laws? If being heterosexual is so natural, then why all the big deal to convince the children that being homosexual isn't? Maybe being heterosexual doesn't come naturally. I'm waiting for a similar statement asking parents to warn their children against violating the law of gravitation.

STRAIGHT LOGIC!

Example #1: Try following the thinking of an Air Force Colonel who is reported to have handled the case of an Airman accused of murdering a woman in Idaho. The situation made the Colonel think the man was homosexual and he thus set out to get the man. It is reported that the same Colonel has caused several suicides with his methods of investigation.

Example #2: Dr. John P. Dunn is asking that he not be barred from practicing in the only hospital in his

one

area of Texas. The medical board just might have gotten the idea he wasn't interested in practicing medicine since he is reported to be spending so much time practicing detective for the FBI (he claims he tipped the FBI to the activities of Billie Sol Estes) and acting as hatchet man with the reputations of other MDs. He gave "evidence" that one young MD was homosexual. The young man killed himself.

Example #3: William Higgs was scheduled to be honored by such men as Lt. Gov. Anderson of California, Pulitzer prize winning editor of the Arkansas Gazette Harry Ashmore, and Burt Lancaster. He graduated from Ole Miss at the head of his class when he was 19. He attended Harvard Law School. He was state chairman of the Kennedy Johnson ticket. He holds a Lasker fellowship in Civil Rights. Life Magazine included him in its list of 100 rising young men and women in the United States. The first of February of this year Higgs asked the Federal Court in Jackson, Mississippi, to admit a second Negro to the State University. The people of Mississippi had to find a way of destroying this man before he succeeded in educating the Negro, before he brought decency to Mississippi and exposed their ignorance and sins. They found a way of stopping Higgs. Three hours after he spoke to the court, he was in jail, charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor a 16-year-old runaway from out-ofstate. You can always accuse your enemies of being homosexual. Even if they prove you lied, the doubt is always there for the future.

Example #4: A man who claims to be the nephew of Atty. Gen. Mosk of California is arrested on a morals charge. Mosk recently made a protest that he is against sex deviates. No comment.
