they bring to conviction every year thousands of looters who attempt to filch money and valuables from the mails, as well as swindlers who aim to use the mails to defraud the public. But such positive policing service and protection can scarcely be regarded as mitigating the injuries inflicted upon the public under invasions of privacy of the type permitted by postal obscenity regulations. Yet, however aggravating and socially detrimental these may be, the post office itelf is not basically to blame for them. To blame is our own Congress and its failure to abolish the archaic and absurd postal obscenity statutes derived from title 18, Sec. 1461 of the U.S. Code. (See ONE Magazine for August, 1961) Until this is done, and the individual American citizen allowed to act upon his own personal standards of taste and judgment, the postal abuses referred to in earlier paragraphs will centainly continue, and even be extended into other areas.

Meanwhile, beware of what you send or accept through the mails!! 1984 is arriving ahead of schedule, and Big Brother is already watching.

Among the recommendations, "a metropolitan vice squad" of officers from various policing agencies with "broad powers to crack down on vice."

ADAM AND EVE HOMOS?

In a letter to CONFIDENTIAL, published in their Nov. '65 issue, "Thank a correspondent writes: you for your article on Cuba's plans of a concentration camp for homos. Although I don't approve of Castro's or the Communists' political regime, I think we should give the ole boy credit for this plan. Here in our country, we need some type of control to conquer this increasing number of third sex. It's disgusting to us normal folks. In all appearances, our social life of sex is returning to the past heydays of queer Roman life. Therefore, childbirth will become extinct. Who needs war to destroy the earth? Food for thought, what if Adam and Eve had been homos?" (ANS: They must have had a pretty big streak, considering the billions of 'homos' among their decendants.)

THE NEO-NAZI INTELLECT

Going to town on the same theme is G. L. Rockwell, leader of the American Nazi Party. His letter to FACT magazine, published in the September-October '65 issue, was among a number of others forming a series of comments from well-known figures on the viability of American society.
