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

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.

C. Kinsey's statistical findings
concerning homosexuality, he

that faces every child
He listed 12 seemingly dif
ferent surface pictures of homo
sexuality but all "merely rep
resent a 'series of elaborations
of the homosexual's basic dilem
ma, unconscious masochism." 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.

Monkey Holds Secret To Theft of Savings
Chicago OI.R) Sam Can
zona's monkey, his partner and
source of income for 20 years,
today held the secret of the old
organ grinder's stolen life sav
ings. 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 . . ."

pilots and aviation enthusiasts
volunteered their services and

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.

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. Twining, chief

young men and women in pri
vate, civil and military aviation."
