"treatment." Prison had not changed Davis. At the time of the interview he was in prison for attacking young girls.

After watching the Florida situation since 1955 we at ONE begin to believe that the whole mess there may continue for a long time if the only weapons used against the Committee are words, especially such subtle words as these from the Herald.

The Committee report says "the best and current estimate" puts the number of homosexuals in Florida at 60,000, but that some consultants suggest "this figure be doubled to accurately reflect the female homosexuals in our population." How sad. How depressing. These thousands of homosexuals are known to the police and the newspapers and the Committee, but steadfastly remain unknown and unhelpful to the organizations, such as ONE, which are trying to help them. If the homosexuals in Florida had given $1.00 each to ONE, rather than the thousands of dollars they have given to lawyers and psychiatrists and blackmailers, how much different things would be today.

OF SNEAKS AND SNOOPS

Much ado about government and private use of wire tapping and lie detector tests, and the reliability of such tests is in the news these days. Mention is made here of a few such reports, but the majority opinion is simply that no one in his right mind will ever allow legal wire-tapping in any form, and that law enforcement men who can't solve their cases without using un-Constitutional means should quit or be fired.

Some 3,500 Cuban exiles who sought to enlist in the U.S. Army were given lie detector tests. This is reported in a survey of the

House foreign operations and government information committee Chairman is John E. Moss

(D-Cal.).

Sen. Edward V. Long (D-Mo.), chairman of a Senate judiciary sub-committee criticized the use of portable lie detectors by American military advisors in South Vietnam to determine the loyalty of government troops.

The AEC stopped using lie detectors at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, 10 years ago because they were of little use in weeding out subversives and other security risks.

Rep. Cornelius E. Gallagher reported that lie detectors were used in a case where a 17-year-old girl applied for a clerk's job. Intimate questions of her sex life were asked, including the question of whether she was a homosexual. (Maybe the person giving the questions was asking for personal reasons.)

The American Civil Liberties Union disclosed that it had written to Atty. General Robert Kennedy criticizing FBI Director J. Director J. Edgar Hoover for publicizing previous arrest records of the alleged kidnappers of Frank Sinatra, Jr. William S. White reported that "an unpleasant odor of police-state methods of instances of illegal wiretapping and of federal snoopery over the mail of private personsis arising from the vicinity of the U.S. Department of Justice." The recent examples mentioned were Roy Cohn's mail being checked (a federal judge, Archie O. Dawson, denounced the incident as "shock-

ing''), the Las Vegas gambler Edward Levinson, whose telephone was "bugged"-members of Congress from Nevada complained to President Johnson about the Fremont Hotel's telephones being tapped.
