would have ruled not only Antony but Rome itself.

And mark my word now word now the day American women stop kidding around and really should or the responsibility of running the country will be the day after they all bite the ord off a stogie, clamp it in their jaws and order the nearest malo: "Light me ma, little man?"

Civil Liberties

"CIVIL LIBERTIES ARE YOUR RIGHTS AGAINST GOVERNMENT--NOT OTHER INDIVIDUALS" EXPLAINED GEORGE E. RUNDQUIST, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE NEW YORK CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION, AT A MATTACHINE-SPONSORED TALK IN NEW YORK.

"THE CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION IS A CONTINUAL DISSENTER IN OPPOSING PRESSURES FOR CONFORMITY." IT EVEN SHOCKS SOME BECAUSE IT DOES NOT DISAPPROVE OF PORNOGRAPHY. AS THE ONLY GROUP COVERING THE WHOLE AREA OF INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES, THE UNION HAS NO AXE TO GRIND FOR ANY ONE MINORITY GROUP BUT SEEKS ONLY TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF ALL PERSONS UNDER THE LAW, HOWEVER UNPOPULAR THEIR VIEWS OR ACTIVITIES, THE SPEAKER EXPLAINED.

NR. RUNDQUIST DESCRIBED THE GROWTH OF THE ORGANIZATION SINCE ITS FOUNDING DURING WORLD WAR I TO AID HEAVILY-BADGERED PACIFISTS AND OTHERS OPPOSED TO OUR ENTRY INTO THE WAR. TODAY, LAWYERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY OFFER THEIR SERVICES FREE FOR ITS CASES, THE UNION PAYING ONLY COSTS FOR PRINTING BRIEFS AND TRAVEL TO COURT.

BESIDES WORKING WITH COURTS TO CLARIFY CIVIL LIBERTIES, THE UNION NEGOTIATES: WITH OFFICIALS, ESPECIALLY THE POLICE (MR. RUNDQUIST NOTED FAR FEWER COMPLAINTS OF POLICE BRUTALITY); WITH VARIOUS CITY DEPARTMENTS, SUCH AS LICENSES, WHICH REFUSES LIQUOR LICENSES FOR THOSE CHARGED WITH CERTAIN OFFENSES; WITH THE STATE LEGISLATURE ON BILLS THAT MIGHT VIOLATE CIVIL RIGHTS. TWO BILLS CURRENTLY BEING FOUGHT IN ALBANY WOULD, A) PROVIDE BLANKET GUILT FOR ALL IN A GROUP IF ONE MEMBER HAS POSSESSION OF A DEADLY WEAPON; B) REQUIRE LOYALTY OATHS FOR THOSE ON PUBLIC ASSISTANCE.
