(L'Ape Regina) which Marco Ferreri directed. Then the Rome Police put on trial the well-known publisher Beniamino Carrucci, for having published the script for the movie ("The Queen Bee") in a book. called Matrimony in Black and White.

WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED

Following in the paths toward civil liberties set by the Negroes, homosexuals are now going into court to start a campaign for their rights. As a local attorney pointed out in an article on the police last month, it is our duty to fight invasion of our privacy. Bruce C. Scott, of Route 1, Springfield, Virginia, has filed suit in the U. S. Dist. Court, in Wash. D. C., asking for a judgment declaring him eligible for competitive civil service advancement tests despite allegations of homosexuality. The National Capitol Area Civil Liberties Union is involved in this suit and in one on behalf of Ronald Brass. ACLU is also interested in the Dew case on appeal to the U. S. Supreme Court. The Circuit Court of Appeals for the Circuit of the District of Columbia held that William Dew was rightfully discharged for the efficiency of the service by the Federal Aviation Agency because at the age of 18 he indulged in four homosexual acts, some of which he took money for, and smoked reefers, even though now, at the age of 32, he is a well-adjusted, married hetrosexual. The Mattachine Society in Washington. is interested in similar cases and appears to be generally quite ac-

tive.

MEANWHILE BACK AT THE "EXAMPLE" STATE

What, you might ask, goes on in the one state which has laws which do not discriminate against homosexuals. Have the laws had much effect upon public thinking and the

lives of the homosexuals? Not if we go by the press. Here is the opening line from a column in the North Loop News of Chicago: "With the beach season almost at hand, I hope the police and the Park District people do as good a job this year as they did last in cutting the overt and obnoxious members of the third sex down to size . . ." The Chicago Tribune has refused to advertise the Stein & Day edition of the Wolfenden Report, presumably because of the words, homosexual and prostitution in the ad.

RECOMMENDED READING

For a change of pace, try Literary Guide to Seduction, from Stein & Day, edited by Robert Meister, in-, troduction by Leslie A. Fiedler. Our only complaint with this beautiful book is that it limited itself to titillating the heterosexuals.

In a similar vein, with a bit of homosexuality thrown in as spice; Jou Pu Tuan, by Li Yu. This book is an erotic novel of 17th century China, witty, well written but primarily heterosexual in the telling of a young student's pursuit of a variety of sex with women and a young male servant (Grove Press).

If you want to read some of the most avant garde fiction of the day, fiction which will in due time. be famous and honored, read your copies of ONE Magazine.
