think they ought to be considered further, because the Committee in the Bar Assn. that studied the matter had the benefit of expert opinion, and their recommendation should not be lightly cast aside." Mr. Brownell now serves as cochairman of a committee in favor of a revision of the N.Y. State Constitution.
CAMP LEXICON
Although appearing several months ago, A. F. Niemoeller's "Glossary of Homosexual Slang" will be new to many. It is found in the first 1965 issue of FACT, a controversial magazine edited and published by Ralph Ginzburg, former publisher of EROS. It defines an extensive but by no means exhaustive list of slang terms in this category, beginning with "Auntie" and on down the line. Some might complain that the gastronomic department was slighted. Meat and shore dinner were adequately dealt with, but the reader looks in vain for seafood.
BLACK VS. WHITEY
It is sad when one minority grinds its own ax at the expense of another. Leroi (The Toilet) Jones, "black" (he dislikes the term "negro") playwright, a rabid racist, and said to be an admirer of the late Malcolm X (ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL, 11/30), has been doing more or less that in his "hate Whitey" campaign, which he is waging in Harlem in his capacity as founder and theatrical director of the "Black Arts Repertory Theater-School," whose nightmarish antics have been partly subsidized by the long-suffering American taxpayer via the current Administration's anti-poverty program.
In his paranoid stage productions, Jones must, of course, have "Whitey" for villain. But to avoid

white actors, he reverses the old minstrel-show technique and has "black" actors in chalkface play the roles of whites, who "usually are portrayed as homosexuals," and who, in at least one of his plays, "Jello," are all murdered in a bloodletting, Congo-style revenge by the end of the perform-
ance.

Jones' apartheid formula for "solving" our racial problems is obviously copied from South Africa's and Rhodesia's white macists, and for this reason would seem rather quaint, if the issues were not so grave, and the proposed methods so appallingly brutal and self-defeating. Apparently unaware of anything beyond the confines of Harlem, or of the fact that U.S. "blacks" are very close indeed to achieving their constitutional rights by democratic processes, Jones says:"I don't see anything wrong with hating white people. Harlem must be taken from the beast and gain its sovereignty as a black nation." Jones' homosexual representations are plainly ridiculous, since there are "black" homosexuals in much the same proportion for this ethnic group as for any other, with interracial relations (with whites) certainly in no greater proportion than among heterosexuals. Fortunately, his "educational" program for Harlem's "blacks" is said to be having little impact beyond the walls of his theater. S.F. VICTIMS DEMAND REDRESS
