evening with Dr. Wollman and his wife and talked over many things - cabbages and kings (also queens) as Alice said.
One afternoon I went down and had a visit with the Inspector and the Captain of the N.Y. Police Public Morals Div. They were very polite, interested and friendly. The law has recently been changed in N.Y. so that one male in feminine attire or two together so dressed is not a violation, but three together is; so if any of you like to go out in bunches (which isn't very smart anyway) at least keep considerable distance between you to avoid this pitfall. This seems like an odd law, but as it is one which is aimed not at TVs but at the drag queens and male prostitutes in drag I guess they figure that if three of them get together the possibility of a public disturbance or nuisance or of rolling some innocent male is increased. Anyway that's how it is. Naturally, I explained our position and left them 3 or 4 leaflets which they promised to pass on to other concerned officers. This is a considerable come down from the law that hooked one of our members and which we appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court (recounted in earlier issues). I also went to see Mr. Richard Levidow, the attorney who handled that case for us. We had corresponded several times but this was our first face to face meeting. He is still much interested in our type of pattern and I would recommend him to any of you faced with any legal problems which involve TV. Look under Lawyers in the N.Y. Yellow section.
Friday noon I did a program over WRVR the radio station of the Riverside Church. This was an extra connection which I did not know about until I got to N.Y. and talked with Mrs. Supples of the Erickson Foundation who had made the contact. This outlet only covers a range of perhaps 25-50 miles from N.Y. but it covers a different type of people being a church station though their programs are not religiously oriented. They have all manner of controversial programs but they do hit a different strata of society and that is all to the good for us.
