subject applying to all such prisons over the nation.

LAW-Los Angeles Attorney Berbert Selwyn, legal advisor to the Mattachine Society, spoke on "The Homosexual and the Law. A question period followed with the program chairman and the four above speakers serving as an answer panel for the more than 50 persons attending the convention.

At an evening banquet, awards of merit were presented to the following: (1) Church of England Moral Welfare Council; (2) American Law Institute, and (3) Dr. Robert Lindner, the late chief psychologist of the Maryland prison system and author of several books and many articles dealing with the psychological aspect of homosexuality. The last award was made posthumously, since Dr. Lindner died suddenly in Baltimore in February at the age of 41.

Banquet speaker was Dr. R. S. Rood, superintendent and medical director of California's Atascadero State Bospital, new institution to which sexual offenders are committed for rehabilitation. Dr. Rood's subject was "Rehabilitation of the Sexual Offender in California." He described the patient-instituted Emotional Security Program under way in the hospital in which sex offenders conduct their own therapy program under advisement and assistance from professional staff psychiatrists and psychologists.

Convention delegates and visitors attended an open house at the office of Mattachine Review on Sunday morning, then assembled for a writer's seminar at which editorial problems of the magazine were discussed.

Business session for the Society was held Sunday afternoon, including election of officers. Following this session, the convention adjourned and a brief meeting of the board of directors was held.

•

For the first time, the general public was invited to an annual meeting of the Mattachine Society. Registration at the convention included many professional people, and officials of many public welfare agencies which almost daily come in contact with persons experiencing difficulty because of a primary or secondary sex adjustment problem. San Francisco Area Council was host to the meeting. To this group went the sincere thanks of its organization for staging a splendid convention with outstanding personalities in the socio-sexual field on the program.
