Reagan Calls Columnist ‘Liar’
For ‘Homosexual Ring’ Charge
By BILL STALL
Associated Press Writer
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (A*) —
Gov. Ronald Reagan angrily said
today there is “no truth” to a
Washington columnist’s report
that “a homosexual ring has been
operating in his office.”
“He’s lying,” Reagan said of
Drew Pearson’s column delivered
this week to newspapers through
out the country. It said eight
men were involved, including two
former members of Reagan’s
staff.
In Washington Pearson’s office
released a statement it said had
been dictated by the columnist,
insisting his facts “are incontro
vertible and he (Reagan) knows
it.”
Pearson was reported out of
town and not personally reach
able.
“Drew Pearson has been sort
of riding my back for years,”
said Reagan. He denounced the
report as “scurrilous.”
“Gov. Reagan has the happy
faculty of twisting the facts to
suit his own end,” the Pearson
statement said.
“A little over a year ago he
was pleased as punch when I de
veloped certain facts regarding
his Republican opponent in the
California primary which prob
ably gave Reagan the nomination.
The governor however, is a novice
at politics. He doesn’t realize that
he can’t always have it his way.
“The facts in this case are in
controvertible and he knows it.
He has been posing as Mr. Clean
and yet tolerated two homo
sexuals on his staff for approxi
mately six months and did not
act regarding them until he was
pressured.
“I am not interested in the men
concerned. They are unfortunate
victims of a disease and should
be given psychiatric care, but the,
public is entitled to know the
facts about a man who has ambi
tions to become president of the
United States.”
“This is about the lowest,”
Reagan said. “This is stooping to
destroy human beings.”
“The governor said he could not
explain how the report and
rumors originated, although he
had heard of them while attend
ing the National Governors’ Con
ference aboard the ocean liner
Independence.
Reagan said he even heard re
ports that he had leaked the in
formation himself.
“This is just absolutely not
true,” Reagan added.

CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Sound Off
The recent nippy weather has sent students scurrying
for classes at a pace resembling old Keystone Cop movies.
And the first cool weather, which has snapped us out
of our summer lethargy, is also a good time to take a fresh
look around us. What we may find is that many people are
countering the war, death, and crime in our newspaper
headlines by doing something or adding a little pleasure for
others.
This then, is a miscellaneous look to see how the season
and the weather must combine to affect events in several
areas.
Last night’s Halloween was not all candy for some
youngsters who were willing to give their treats to treat
others. Some collected pennies and nickles for the United
Nation’s UNICEF while other Bryan-College Station chil
dren participated in the Methodist Church’s Meals for Mil
lions drive.
Or how about some enterprising high school youths
who advertised Halloween night “protection” for a dollar
in their school newspaper. The price included cleaning up
any damage to “insured” property — caring for a hundred
homes can be a lot of work.
For a great many cold customers a good cup of coffee
can save the morning and thaw out a chilled body and mind.
And we note that three restaurants in College Station
earned membership in the restaurant industry’s most ex
clusive club for serving an outstanding cup of coffee.
The Country Kitchen, Godfrey’s and Lew-Ann’s have
all received the golden cup award, mounted on a wall
plaque and presented by the Coffee Brewing Center of New
York.
It seems some sneaky fieldmen sipped the coffee, and
with microfilm in their buttons, coded the news back to
headquarters that Aggies would be caffein comfortable this
winter.
And the weather, it seems, may have affected, to the
surprise of ultra-right-wing conservatives, the John Birch
Society. Its head, Robert Welch, announced Saturday that
they have decided to abandon their campaign to impeach
Earl Warren, at least temporarily.
Apparently, few people are willing to take their hands
out of their warm gloves to sign a petition against the
Chief Justice.
And so the cool weather, which kills car batteries,
paints noses a rosey red and makes the household heater
a cherished addition to any room, also brings with it new
vigor and an attempt by some to do a little extra for others.
Editor,
The Battalion:
There is a valid reason for this
letter and I feel that something
should be done about the pest
problem in the Duncan area and
especially in Dorm 12. Even
though there is a low quality food
shortage in Duncan I don’t feel
that this problem should be ig
nored. It is impossible to keep
food of any kind in the room.
Food with wrappers such as
candy from the machines has
drawn ants into the closets and
desks. ANTS! Ants!! Ants!!!
There are ants everywhere, in the
clothes in the dresser and in the
closets, on the walls, and in the
halls. It has been aggression on
their part and commercial insecti
cides has failed to turn them back.
What is the answer? HELP!
