with the exception of a few persons, the time and the task are so difficult to coordinate that using the help is almost impossible. Dr. O. M. Bailey, vice president and religious counselor, has long been a consistent and valued worker who has performed the monotonous task of collating and folding publications for several years. When the work is there, he puts available workers onto the assembly line. His services will continue, we àre assured, and now there is further assurance that regular help in other administrative details is at hand.

6. AVAILABILITY OF MATTACHINE SPEAKERS TO APPEAR BEFORE OTHER AUDIENCES. Mattachine has long led other organizations in the field with its fulfillment of requests for speakers to appear before church groups, student forums, on radio and television programs, and other organizations, as well as to deliver lectures to university classes and leadership conferences. In addition it has cooperated with dozens of research projects-from formal studies by expert researchers in behavioral science fields, to student teams and individuals doing work on a specific topic for a term paper, thesis or dissertation. Many interviews of staff members have been made. A series of lectures on various topics for a single presentation or a series of talks have been prepared so that significant material, adapted as required to each situation, is now ready and available for presentation upon call. During the past two years, eleven speaking engagements outside the Society, one radio and one television appearance have been made out of the San Francisco headquarters. Several additional speaking engagements are forthcoming, and a television project is under way.

Mattachine is not unmindful of the importance of formal classes, conferences, seminars, discussion forums, institutes and lectures sponsored by itself and other organizations. It sponsors many of these events and participates in those of other organizations upon invitation. It realizes that there is a great need to educate and inform all of those interested-and most often caught up in the problems we are concemed with-about our work and about themselves. But it is becoming apparent that education about varied sex behavior forms and the laws which attempt but fail to regulate this behavior must be brought to the attention of the wider audience. This cannot be accomplished by in-group discussion which has absorbed so much of our time in the past, but by taking information to the general public. Many examples of having done this prove eloquently the soundness of this concept. Mature and thinking adults are quick to see the hypocrisies of so-called "moral standards," and the impossibility of enforcing laws to uphold them; they are as anxious to see changed attitudes which will put reality in place of myth, and truth in place of the lie.

mattachine REVIEW

THESE THEN, ARE SOME OF THE PRESSING BOLD CONCERNS OF Mattachine, but by no means is this listing to be regarded as total. Not mentioned, but nevertheless receiving attention every day are problems such as government attitude toward sex deviates and the discrimination, disgrace and tragedy inflicted upon them in civil service and the armed forces; harrassment and caprice in the selective enforcement of sex laws; denial of civil rights and due process in these matters; overt and disguised efforts at censorship; violation of rights of privacy by illegal search and seizure techniques, and the failure of society to provide understanding and true habilitation for those who may have committed an offense in this area. And then, most certainly, Mattachine is concemed with a guilt-ridden society which concentrates on symptoms and not root causes, and which attempts to absolve the mass guilt upon a few unfortunates with savage and lasting penalties for what the multitude is doing.

Invariably, a discussion of Mattachine potential and present accomplishment hits and snags itself-inextricably, it seems-on one thing: Funds. Again and again we have made appeals to our contributors, subscribers, and supporters. Many respond regularly and at personal sacrifice; yet many many others do not because they are afraid, or couldn't care less.

Unfortunately, no well-heeled entertainers, industrialists or philanthropists have rallied to the Mattachine cause with substantial donations or support spread out over a period of time. Mattachine's income comes from pledges, membership dues, subscriptions, sales of our publications, and contributions. This means it comes in little amounts from the little guy in society, and not the person of wealth who can afford to help but won't because he is fearful his attorney, his bank or his accountant will find out. We are told of one man who annually gives $35,000 to charities, but Mattachine is not on his list although his personal concerns are closely al lied with us. His excuse is that he can permit no one to find out that he even knows Mattachine exists. So the more acceptable public service organizations-including some which pay handsome salaries-get his contributions. Another man who is deeply interested in Mattachine's achievements announced bequests and gifts to educational institutions already well supported, and again the word came that he was sorry he couldn't give some to Mattachine-but he was afraid.

Who are these people afraid of, if not themselves? And have they explored the ways in which they can contribute when their hearts dictate yes | but their minds say no. There are ways. Designated trustees working in the professions, including attorneys and ministers, are on hand to receive these contributions as intermediaries if desired. Write to us-we shall tell
