Benjamin Cain of the U. S. 6th Inf. who deserted to the communists, a married man with a family.

Newsweek of May 27th gave a count down on the military desertions: "Those two Army men, a captain and a sergeant, who deserted to East Germany brought the total since World War II to 79, two Army officers, and 77 enlisted men. (The other services list no defactors.) The Army says 75 men went behind the Iron Curtain in Europe, 2 in Korea, 2 in Cuba. Today, 48 are still in Red countries; 2 have committed suicide; 29 have returned. Almost all, the Army adds, fled not for ideological reasons, but for personal troubles." SEX IS OK, EXCEPT IN ONE

Those who have cancelled subscriptions to ONE because they consider it too sexy should certainly not consider reading the new publication Liaison from New York, the land of Eros. Subtitled "the Biweekly Newsletter of Love," its May 18th issue has an interview with a male hustler. Some of the text goes like this:

How much do you charge? I leave that up to the john, I let him. decide . When you were in a gang, was there anything gay going on? A little There's a lot of

I think the danger sign a hustler should watch out for is when he begins to be choosy about his johns. If you're just hustling for money, you don't care who it is, dig? What about your sex life outside of hustling? Oh, I get sex out-

one

side of hustling. Sometimes I'll go out with a girl. Or a boy.

"BY THEIR FRUITS YOU SHALL KNOW THEM" MODERN VERSION

Readers interested in religion and religiously oriented groups might pause to consider the ads placed in many newspapers by Moral Re-Armament. MRA has been more honest than similar organizations, perhaps, but its ideas are pretty much representative of such groups. In the column of the advertisement listing what they are against we find the following: "homosexuality, lesbianism, pornography, adultery . . . Sexual deviants in high places who protect potential spies . . ." This sounds all too much like Hitler's speeches against the Jews.

Obstacles created by this type of "thinking" cause many homosexuals to abandon religious groups in order to work with more enlightened groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union, which has demonstrated its devotion to the principles of the Bill of Rights and the idea of judging individuals by their own accomplishments or failures rather than by the characteristics popularly attributed to their race or nationality.

A FRIEND IN COURT

The New York chapter of the ACLU announces in its March, 1963 publication that it is entering an amicus brief on behalf of the proprietor of the Cafe Bohemia in Greenwich Village. The NY State Liquor Authority (SLA) has revoked the Bohemia's license on the grounds that homosexuals were congregating on the premises. For a report on how "pure" the work and motives of the SLA really are, see the April 5th issue of Life Magazine. The article reports that the owners of the Playboy niteclub chain had to bribe a member of
