600% in England since World War

II.

4) All lesbians, said speaker Dr. Judith S. Kestenberg, "remain young virginial girls at heart," they just play with "life dolls," and "We adults look upon them with indulgence, pity and amused smilings."

At the fantastic prices the headshrinkers get shelled into them for allegedly "curing" homosexuality, there is sure no doubt about the "amused smilings." They probably laugh all the way to the bank. Many homosexuals believe this particular branch of the medical profession has put over one of the most lucrative promotional jobs in history.

And who in the world except crackpots is going to believe a blatant statement that homosexuality anywhere has risen 600%? This is like Hitler's "big lie"might as well tell a whopper! But of course putting on such a publicity boogeyman campaign is going to be good business--for some people.

MR. NUTTING CAUGHT WITH HIS PANTS DOWN:

Aldington's 1955 diatribe-biography, Lawrence of Arabia, said in the British Museum was a letter from Lawrence to Mrs. George Bernard Shaw admitting he actually didn't resist that sodomizing Turk, unlike the version he printed in Seven Pillars of Wisdom wherin he fought the advances. Now comes a new biography of the same title by Anthony Nutting, who says that letter is not in the British Museum

-and he can't find a shred of evidence that Lawrence was homosexual! But then comes Professor Stanley Weintraub reviewing the book in the NY Times saying that letter is so in the British Museum-he knows because he recently read it there!

OF MANY THINGS, OF CABBAGES & QUEENS:

Walter Winchell says so many "whoopsy boys" have moved into NY's Murray Hill section that cops. call it "Mary Hill". . . If you're one of the many Mary Renault fans (along with JFK), put in your order early for her sequal to bestseller The King Must Die, called The Bull From The Sea, due out in March

The beefcake brigade of magazines hit a new high price when The Young Physique went up to a full one buck an issue. More pages and more color. Beefcake connoisseurs say it is worth it. . . . . James Thurber in Harpers says, "Be careful of the word 'gay,' for it, too, has undergone a change. It now means, in my country, homosexual." SBI remarks of "The Gay Set'' show that despite its name it is hetero. Already "drag" is being used by the heteros, and we've had reports that "camp" is being appropriated . . . Actress Ingrid Thulin from Sweden writes columnist Lee Belser that she's playing Queen Christina "with mustache, eagle nose, slope shoulders, and with other deformities." Garbo was beautiful but her portrayal had as much closeness to reality as that fountain of misinformation, the late Bergler. . . Horst Buchholz has been selected to play the movie Nijinsky role... Victim, England's sole entry at Venice Film Festival, passed NY Censor and US Customs but got nixed by Production Code Administration. Distributor says he'll show it in this country without the PCA seal of approval, which might boost boxoffice. . . We hear the latest fad for some gay girls after seeing the spook vampire movie with a lesbian lilt, Blood & Roses, is to tattoo two little marks above the jugular. Wanta neck?
