The State Department assumes arrogant distortion of human lives -of employees whom it has dismiss. ed for sexual deviation. They are not "security risks."

Some countries of dear, benighted, primitive Europe, with Sweden as a leader (didn't she have social security about 50 years before the U. S.?) have abrogated laws concerning homosexuality where minors (and force) are not involved.

In an unnamed city where the Kinsey, staff was at work, it was not-
