to 19 concerns their homosexual tendencies, begging for help, terrified someone may learn they aren't 'like everyone else.'"' In a recent column, she described a mother who had divorced a homosexual husband, now finds her teenage son secretly gloating over stacks of photos of male nudes, and wonders if homosexuality can be inherited. (LANDERS: No. It is a disturbance calling for professional psychiatric treatment, and "don't lose any time.") Then there was the case of the worried young lady-worried because her boyfriend (though "I know for sure his sexual drives are normal') likes to wear her clothing and makeup, and succeeds in attracting more. wolf-whistles from the boys than she does. (LANDERS: "He is a transvestite. This does not mean that he's homosexual, but it is a deviation, nonetheless. If you want to marry a man who enjoys wearing your clothes and getting passes from men, go ahead. But urge him to get professional help right away.")

Of course, both Landers' dicta on the theoretical issues are highly debatable. In the first instance, see ONE's Letter Column for Jan. '66, and other modern genetic reports in the field. In the second, ponder the statement of a married L.A. transvestite (male) who says: "I have to dress and 'feel' like a woman in order to make love to a woman. If I were a woman, I'd be a lesbian."

TERPSICHORIANA

It's homos who have made "dance biz" a sissies' game, according to Gene Kelly, a man who should know (as a professional dancer, that is). "Of course there are homosexuals in this field, as in other lines," he says (L.A. TIMES, 12/9, the Hal Humphrey column).

"Unfortunately, it shows

when a man dances effeminately. As a result of audience reaction, the stigma is added to, with the result that the virile males we need in the dance are left out." In case you are cringing under these disparagements, take heart. Gene saves the day by adding, "I am not saying homosexuals should be barred from the dance, but they should dance like men. I hired one once who danced like Sonny Liston. It isn't what they are, but how they dance that concerns me." WAY DOWN UNDER

Even Sydney (Australia) has its 'streets of sin" according to a recent Reuters dispatch, where prostitutes employ the most modern techniques to speed up business, like the walkie-talkie squawkboxes (Sample Squawk: "Esmeralda: tall guy, dark hair, lobby Hotel d'Amour, hurry, over.") And Bayswater Road offers a "house of perversions" advertising delights "we dare not offer to beginners." There is also, guess what, a "street of the homosexuals" with "bright-fronted shops and gay window displays,"

whose habitues "haunt the bars of its plush hotels."

THE FATE OF LORD MOYNIHAN

This section for Sept. '65 noted a report from London that Lord Moynihan had been arrested and accused in court last spring of imfor an immoral for portuning men purpose, with a hearing set for May 5. ONE had no further word on the outcome until 12/31, on that date receiving the following news from our London correspondent: "I regret to report that Lord Moynihan took drugs a few days before hearing at court, and died. Court refused to strike the case from the records, and it remains on the statute book as 'unanswered.'
