o Scientist Seeks ft o Dispel Ignorance About Homosexuality By DELOS SMITH New York 'U.P. A scientific .., Uiority ho set out to dispel the public's touchy ignorance c ffJncerninz homosexuality. ' -j "Its high time it was beinj; j done, he says, because homo ' sexuality t drives as a- social pmblem on.isnorance and only with krowledga, can the public deal with it'.'' '! According to .Dr. Edmund Bcrfiler, this knowledge in , a 5 nutsell is: "That there's nothing.l fjl.ienorous about suffering from the disease tknoa -as homo sexuality, that the disease can be cured, and that this apparent ly sexual disorder is invariably coupled with severe unconscious seltdamageethat will inevitably show up outside the sexual sphere as well, because it em braces the entire personality." Dr. Bergler has made himself leading spokesman of the psy- "Homosexuality: Disease Way Of Life?" In a foreword, he wrote: Or i destiny, nor incomprehensible ill luck. It is an unfavorable un "I'm ' conscious solution of a conflict thinking of the mass of young people unhappy, bewildered, uninformed, sometimes suicidal caught, or about to be caught in a net: I am thinking of those young people who because of an appalling unavailability of ac curate information, erroneously consider their homosexual dif ficulties to be their final destiny . . . I am also thinking of the unhappy parents of young homo sexuals, and especialy their mothers." In no case whatever, he assert ed, is homosexuality other than a neurotic disease. He denied emphatically that there can be any "party" between homo sexuality and hcterosexuality. "Heterosexuality per se does not guarantee emotional health," he said. "There are innumerable cho-analytic psychiatric point of neurotics among heterosexuals. :.iew. He is an outstanding medi cal critic of the late Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey's statistical findings concerning homosexuality, he has been lecturing medical aud iences, nd iifvhas now written a book for thoughtful laymen: too. But there also exist healthy heterosexuals, and there are no healthy homosexuals." , Answering the question. "What makes a homosexual?" he said: "Homosexuality is neith er a bidologicaly determined Edmund E. Hass Vice-President ICIF1C ljORTHVEST CoMPANI.

As for the suggestion that there is a "bisexual" state, he said: It "is an out-and-out fraud . . . bisexuality has no existence be yond the word itself." Not all cases of homosexuality are curable, he said, but only those in which the sick person "really wants to be cured." Nev ertheless the social problem should be dealt with medically, from a background of medical knowledge. He advocated out patient departments of general hospitals for the pyschiatric treatment of homosexualiiy. He blamed the Kinsey finding that a substantial proportion of all men have had homosexual experiences, for an intensifica tion of the disease as a social problem, saying there now were "statistically - induced pseudo homosexuals." The Kinsey find ing is false, he said, but it has emboldened homosexuals into "virtually asking for minority status." That he would not grant. They're sick people, he said. Therefore heal them. California Fire Still Uncontrolled Ramona, Calif. (U.R) An army of firefighters worked with feverish determination to day to control a wind-fed for est and brush fire which has claimed 11 lives.

Sam was probably the last of Chicago's hurdy-gurdy men grinding out his favorite num bers, "O Marie" and "The Side walks of New York" until his retirement last July. His monkey, Rosie, collected the pennies, nickles and dimes that made up the $13,000 Sam hid in a trunk because he didn't trust banks. Sam, 86, and his 78-year-old wife Theresa, went to their only son's home for Thanksgiving dinner. Rosie stayed home. While they were gone, some one broke into the Italian immi grant's apartment and made off with the money. "Rosie must have seen the thieves." he said. "If she could only talk . . ."

' Civil Air Patrol to Observe 1 5th Year Federal, state and municipal a CAP member. Some 26,500 air- officials have proclaimed the week Nov. 25 to Dec. 1 Civil Air Patrol Week honoring the 15th anniversary of the organ ization.

Com manders of the CAP squadron here have included William Turner, Donald Stewart, James Wrickler and Marella Brock way. Hubert E. Curtis is present commander. Patrol Organized The patrol was organized in 1941 when a group of private pilots and aviation enthusiasts volunteered their services and use of their planes for war work including courier service, light transportation and search and rescue. Six days before Pearl Harbor, Fiorello H. Lr.Guardia, then di rector of the office of civilian defense signed a document offi cially recognizing the patrol. The CAP, during the war, pro vided planes for anti-submarine patrol along the Atlantic coast. During the first six month of this year, the CAP flew 4.389 hours on 60 separate air rescue service missions, according to Maj. Gen. Walter R. Agee, na tional commander. Civilian Volunleers More than 90,000 civilian vol unteers make up CAP units in about 2.500 communities in the United Stales, and air crews j continue to fly more than half , the hours logged by all partici-; pating agencies on Air Force di rected search and mercy mis sions in this country, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. More than 30,000 former CAP members are now serving in the ; Air Force, according to a survey j conducted earlier this year. An i additional 21,000 airmen were j influenced to enlist in the Air i Force through association with men and 5,400 officers now on active duty formerly were mem bers of the patrol. Gen. Nathan F.
