revelations of homosexual practices set forth in sealed letters are to be brought within the purview of the statute, then let it be publicly known that only that should be written which will pass the ultimate censorship of judges & juries. (Case is that of John Darnell III, convicted in federal court in New Haven, Connecticut.)

The NY Times reports that Cornel Wilde has plans for making a motion picture of Nicholas Monsarrat's book SMITH AND JONES. The MIAMI HERALD, in a column by Juanita Greene, and the NEW ORLEANS STATES-ITEM, in a column by Jack Dempsey, have let themselves be used by the propagandists of their respective police departments to spread lies about the sex offender and homosexuality. How can these people talk about managing of news when they encourage it by reporting what they are told without checking facts.

THE MILITARY

A "friend" reports having information about the marine who killed a homosexual civilian. The marine has been rewarded by being transferred to the Military Police and is being used in L.A. and Hollywood to finger homosexuals for the vice squad. Such a report is no shock to us, for the vice squads often use homosexuals who hide their own "guilt" and acts by turning in friends or serving as decoys.

The Navy appears to have used highly irregular tactics in its campaign to prove it is anti-homosexual. The U.S.S. Bennington actually spent half of a page of the Plan of the Day giving sailors hell-fire and damnation in the good old protestant tradition warning about homosexuality. It seems that an undesirable discharge for reason

The Plan of the Day goes into all the horrible things people will think about the sailor, and urges all sailors to watch out since this "year's customers are next year's competition." The admonition continues that sailors must not accept rides from people who promise girls and drinks since this a homosexual ruse, and the police have the names of the homosexual's in the area and if a sailor is merely seen near one he will become suspect.

The facts about this particular case, which is cited as cause for warning, are as follows. The sailor was not caught in any act, he foolishly opened the door of a private home while naked and let the police in. This would not be evidence however to get a conviction unless the men admitted the act.

Most attorneys recommend that persons who have been arrested refrain from making any statements and wait and let an attorney handle all questions. The Bennington has shown a warning film to the ship's company which is a homosexual sex orgy taken with hidden cameras. It is strange that homosexuals will continue to go to these orgies where they will have their names taken by the police and will be filmed, yet they will not attend meetings where the problems of being homosexual are discussed intelligently, and no films are made and no names are taken.

Here is a problem homosexuals don't even know about: insurance companies are beginning to ask questions from medical doctors and
