gust, 1962) who shared his modest apartment in the outskirts of Moscow. The boy, Tolya, was an attractive, curly-headed musician. The two lived together amidst a clutter of English books, magazines, and newspapers for "in spite of all temptations . . ." Burgess remained an Englishman at heart.

Some weeks before his heart attack he was admitted to Moscow's Botkin Hospital under his Russian name Jim Andreyevich. For many months prior to his hospitalization he had literally been living on injections administered by a nurse who came daily to his apartment for this purpose. No one was surprised by his death.

Only a handful of people attended the funeral. Tolya was not present among the mourners. However, Burgess' brother Nigel flew in to retrieve the ashes for the sake of his mother, who had continued to be his main support. Doctors had forbidden his mother to make the trip from London. Also present and dry-eyed at the funeral was Donald Maclean, who in hushed, hollow tones, as though performing a distasteful duty assigned to him, declared in the nearly empty crematorium, "Guy was a man who devoted his life to the cause. of making a more peaceful world for all men.

The London Daily Express reported early in September that Guy Burgess "left a will bequeathing about $6,000.00 to Harold Philby, his 'most faithful friend.' Philby was granted political asylum by the Russians in February this year. The British Government has said that Philby was the "third man" who tipped off Burgess and Maclean that the British intelligence agents were closing in on them.

(In the Long Beach Bielicki case it was the vice squad in the ventilator so if AT&T has gone into automation, the vice squad had better start worrying.) But Local 1150 of the Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO, charged that the camera was an invasion of privacy and got the other 39 locals across the nation to authorize a strike if the company didn't promise not to use the cameras. AT&T has not made the promise. It's strange that the Local should take it unkindly when its members are spied upon without reason to believe that they are guilty, the Local and the rest of our citizens don't apply the same thinking when it is a queer who is being spied upon. We know of many cases where the presence of queers is given as the reason for using such means of so-called law-enforcement.

If Peter J. Masterson, chief steward of the 2000 member N.Y. local, had been reading ONE he would know that there is a precedent set in the California Supreme Court in the Bielicki case to stop such invasions of privacy. But then homosexuals are often found to be ahead of the majority in even such things as believing and practicing the Bill of Rights. This makes it difficult for the FBI
