Example #5: You discover that about 1 out of every 6 persons in America is homosexual. What do you do to understand the problem or to adjust to the idea and fact? Do you want to change this situation or do you find that it is not worth worrying about? Scientific solution: study the problem and all of its suspected causes, proposed cures, and implications for the individual and society. And after all the evidence is in, draw a probable answer. Solution of the professors in our colleges, the preachers in our pulpits, the vice squad men in our toilets: Shout fire. Don't investigate

you may be proved wrong in claiming that you are doing a job by locking up homosexuals — and need a pay raise for doing this dangerous work. Don't waste time on this, you can't get a grant for studying queers. Study the depths of the ocean. They can't accuse you of being a fish, or can they?

Along this line of thinking, we have the case of the young marine who jumped into the ocean to save a buddy who had slipped off ship. The marine didn't use his head. Doesn't he know that this will make people think he's too friendly?

MORE EXPERT THINKING?

The English people sure advance fast. They've been talking about the Wolfenden Report for how many years now? Illinois did less talking, but now has the law in effect.

An item in the London Daily Mail presents a different British attitude towards homosexuals and their traits. "How many "How many homosexual traitors since the war? Two. How many normal ones? Forty-odd. Let's purge the heterosexuals." But the bureaucrats of England have other problems. They are afraid that if England enters the Common Market it will have a VD problem due to "greater mobility" among the peo-

ples of the various countries. They don't say which, country they fear. SAME PROBLEMS:

DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHY

In Texas, as well as in other states, they are trying to pass censorship laws. One man writes the Houston Chronicle concerning the proposed new bill covering obscene movies as follows: ". . . Drowning men catch at straws. Unable to explain or to cope intelligently with the increase of crime, such persons revert to ancient taboos which have never accomplished one iota of good in behalf of society. . . . Such legislation is in itself un-American; and its very nature creates an unusually high degree of irregularity in enforcements." But few people in a democracy are willing to put forth this effort of thinking, much less acting. How many people in California even know, for instance, of Bill #3? All too often the reply is that one person just can't do much, what with working, etc. Yet the same person seldom contributes to or joins a group or organization which could work for him.

MAGAZINES

It would be interesting to know how well the Ladies Home Journal checks the facts in an article before printing it. In the case where it quotes a Los Angeles doctor saying that statistics show how much homosexual VD in LA has grown, we at ONE could have told them that, based upon the word of the Public Health officials themselves, no such statistics exist. The article later speaks of homosexuals being cured through "psycho-therapeutic intervention", whatever that is. We know of no experts, psychological or medical, who have proved that homosexuals can be cured, or that there is anything to cure.

In the National Review, November, 1962, there is a very humorous
