not under therapy. Wo are now working with him on the questionnaire to be used.

We have done a further breakdown on our study of the Lesbian since its original publication and Mrs. Bernice Engle of the Langley-Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute of San Francisco has requested permission to publish the more pertinent parts in a medical journal.

Dr. Frank Beach and Dr. John McKeo of the University of California at Berkeley have offered their assistance in any further studies we might do.

On her Sept. 12 radio program Mrs. Leo Steiner, a New York psychologist, along with Mrs. Elsio Carlton and our research director, discussed a wide range of topics related to Lesbianism, with the program ending with a very gracious recognition of our research survey. It has been most gratifying to us that, although we are a group of laymen doing this study, so many distinguished professional people have spoken so highly of the project. Seeing the interest of

the professional field in new thoughts and data in the homophile field is, however, even more gratifying.

We have been asked to discuss the benefit or disadvantage of having chapters. We have found that while a certain amount of time has to be spent in giving each new group the benefit of past experience, this time spent is greatly outweighed by: 1. the benefit of fresh new idees; 2. the greater number of people carrying out the aims and purposes; 3. the benefit of our chapters' continuing to contact newsstands across the country so that we can reach an even larger number of readers; 4. the greater number of personal contacts that can be made; 5. the benefit of having more people available for assistance to professional persons and groups working in our field; and 6. above all, the opportunity to come into personal contact with more homosexuals, as we have mentioned above. We do not feel we could be making the organizational strides we are without the ever-common goal consciousness and work of the chapters.

Each of the organizations seems to be working in a manner which covers a little different ground in the common goal of trying to benefit the homosexual and the rest of society.
