"The Reporter received a number of calls from nervous residents, when it was announced on a TV program that the Mattachine Society, an avowed homosexual group which pushes for more tolerant laws on sex deviates, was going to hold a breakfast meeting last Friday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

"We called Chief Anderson, but he had already been alerted. The Beverly Hilton had evidently booked the meeting, for 75 people, without knowing what the Mattachine Society was, and the booking was cancelled after the chief enlightened the hotel management. So the morals of Beverly Hills were saved. It is not known where the Mattachines ate their breakfast."

Apparently the Hilton Hotels and the Police Chief of Beverly Hills want the new civil rights laws to apply in places other than their hotels and city. The meeting was held in the Plaza Hotel in Hollywood. But another point to be made is that the reservations had originally been made at the Hotel Continental on Sunset Strip. Anyone who has the least bit of knowledge about the history of the homosexual organizations knows that many such meetings have been held by all homosexual organizations in most major cities. without any problem. The Mattachine spokesman who booked the reservations explained to his audience that he wasn't even sure that the hotel they were holding the meeting in knew who they were. The audience sympathized with the speaker. Not wisely so, we would say.

HO HUM!

Printers' Ink, trade journal, lent its pages recently to an anony-

one

mous woman who complained that tv's commercials were made with feminine men. Must have needed a filler, for if the brave anonymous woman had facts she would have written the networks' sponsors and done something constructive. But then these complaints have been used by publicity seekers for years. Too bad she didn't list the offending commercials, so we could all watch them. The National Observer reports that CBS has instructed it programers that only one subject is taboo-yes, you're right, homosexuality.

RELIGION DISCUSSES HOMOSEXUALITY

Or should I say, cusses. The Lutheran, in its Book Report section, reviews a book (Christian Morals Today by John A. T. Robinson, Westminster paperback, 47 pp. 65c). Mr. Robinson is the author of Honest To God. In his new book he discusses such subjects as capital punishment, divorce, premarital sex and homosexuality.

The July 7th edition of the Record American (Boston) carries an interview with a Roman Catholic Priest, Father Murphy, of Rescue, Inc. Father Murphy makes many unprovable and emotional statements about homosexuals seducing young men and causing the young men to commit suicide. Father Murphy, points out a Friend of ONE, failed to admit how many divorces, and other things cause suicides. But Fr. Murphy has his own axe to grind and such honesty wouldn't serve his purposes. As long as the Catholic church insists that sex is only for procreation so long will it not deserve the support of intelligent men and women of what ever sexual proclivity.
