If I may be of any service to you I am in touch with many free social and psychiatric aids to better understanding of self or help of legal or social nature. If I can help someone in any way I will be glad to do so without expecting any favors in return. Please don't misconstrue this as an attempt to set up social dates. I do quite well in that respect on my own.
Dear Sir:
Mr. P. Chicago, Illinois
I am writing you to inquire about obtaining material for a paper I am writing in connection with my master's degree in sociology. At present there is a limited amount of factual material available on the subject of homosexuality and one of my professors recommended you.

ONE, Incorporated has for many years received many such requests from university students all over the world, as well as from college faculty members. Frequently those living nearby or visiting Los Angeles come to ONE's offices for extended interviews. In each case the Corporation extends to such inquirers all assistance within its means, believing that it is through an ever-widening circle of correct information that social changes are encouraged.
Dear friends:
Enclosed is a clipping from LIFE (June 11) that I send you for what it may be worth. Frankly, I don't think that is much for while LIFE seems disposed to be helpful it then includes derogatory remarks. The statement they quote from an Albany "legislator" is asinine.
The last paragraph should be answered, I believe, by someone in authority at ONE. It is manifestly unfair to say that homosexuality breaks up homes. Many more cases can be attributed to infidelities of a hetero-
sexual nature. In this county there is one divorce for every two marriages. It is silly to say this would be due to homosexuality.
From my short acquaintance with ONE I have been happy to know there is such an organization and applaud its efforts. Mr. P.

Late this fall I plan to be in Las Vegas, Nevada. I understand that the American Eastern Orthodox Church has one of its churches there. I would like to visit it if possible.
NOTE:
Mr. C. Berkeley, California
We are happy to send Mr. C. the address he requests. ONE's Social Service Division (see inside cover this issue) supplies whenever possible the names of highly qualified and sympathetic clergymen, physicians, attorneys, psychiatrists and other professional persons to those requesting such information.
While this aspect of ONE's social service work is of long standing and has served many hundreds (perhaps thousands) of individuals all readers have their part to play in this work, wherever they may live.
How is this? By supplying ONE's Social Service Secretary with the names of addresses of professional men and women for whose reliability and understanding treatment of homosexuals they stand ready to vouch. It readily can be understood that a small public service organization such as ONE must rely upon its well-wishers for information from distant cities, for the Corporation has very limited funds at its disposal for travel by staff members. Hence the importance and uniqueness of the service YOU can render to the furtherance of ONE's work right from your own hometown. Please address Secretary, Social Service Division, 2256 Venice Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90006.
