attitudes and requirements of its people and only when the social attitude toward homosexuality changes will the Jewish Law change its attitude toward the subject. It was also pointed out that as a social structure the Church is based largely on the family unit and it is often difficult to integrate single people, homosexual or not, into the activities of the Church. The panel was moderated by Joan Frazer, E.C.H.O. Secretary.

Dr. Konietzko arrived as the religious panel discussion ended and the debate was held. Dr. Kameny took the position that legislation ought to be the primary concern of homophile groups while Dr. Konietzko held that it would be more productive to first attempt to educate the public to the true nature of homosexuality and that legislation would then follow. The debate was a bit pressed for time due

to the earlier delays and the positions of the two participants were not sufficiently divergent to lead to any well defined conclusions. In the end both parties agreed that both an educational and a legislative approach were necessary but there remained a difference of opinion as to which should take slightly greater precedence.

The E.C.H.O. member organizations, The Daughters of Bilitis, The Mattachine Society of Washington, The Mattachine Society, Inc., of New York, and the Janus Society cooperated to produce an interesting and stimulating conference which was certainly a success. It is to be hoped that future conferences will be as productive as this one. The discussion and interchange of ideas such as took place this weekend in Washington will certainly contribute to the advancement of the homophile cause.

EXCHANGE

I am ready to give my heart of a fool Into the keeping of your careless hands

For the pleasure of grasping the evasive strands

Of your hair, of knowing if your breasts are cool

Or warm and how you will respond

To my teasing fingers, to the kisses I shall press Upon you until you are driven to confess There ought be, between us, a lasting bond.

Yet I know you will give no promise to me. You will yield for a whim, anxious to be rid Of a love even your lax rules forbid. Thence I shall be bound while you go free!
