HAMPTON, Va. —The attorney
forT. Sgt. Leonard P. Matlovich, an
admitted gay, told an Air Force dis
charge board here Tuesday that the
military’s historic ban on homosex
uals violates their constitutional
right to privacy.
The Air Force regulation calling
for automatic discharge of gay ser
vicemen is unlawful because it im
poses “the morality of the majority
on its employes, said attornev
Susan Hewman.
Ms. Hewman is one of two
American Civil Liberties Union
lawyers who are representing Mat
lovich, 32, who has been decorated
during his 12 years in the Air Force,
in the hearing that began Tuesday.
Matlovich himself prompted the
hearing at Langley Air Force Base,
where he serves as an instructor in
race relations, when he wrote the
secretary of the Air Force in March
to admit his homosexuality.
His admission was designed to
produce a test of the military regula
tions that prohibit the retention of
homosexuals by the military once
their sex deviation is discov ered.
The government contends that
the presence of homosexuals in
military ranks would hamper re
cruitment, destroy morale and offer
foreign agents a chance for
blackmail.
Ms. Hewman asked the discharge
board of two majors, two lieutenant
colonels and a colonel at the outset
of the hearing Tuesday specifically
to overturn the Air Force ban on
homosexuals.
Her motion was quickly denied
by the boards legal adviser, Col.
Robert E. Shank, 52, who senes
the hoard in the capacitv of a civ il
court judge.
Each of the five officers on the
board was closely questioned as to
whether he had formed prior opin
ions i the case. Each said he had not.
Matlovich, son of an Air Force
sergeant, showed little emotion as
the hearing— which the Air Force
said might last a week — often hog
ged down on technical issues in its
opening hours.
Now and then, the slender,
dark-haired, defendant glanced
around the room at the tiny crowd.
At the lunch break he dashed
quickly to his car, declining to ans
wer most questions.
Asked by one newsman whether
he thought all homosexuals in the
military should make themselves
known as he did, he replied: “That s
an individual question they must
answer themselv es.
Matlov ich has said he isn’t in
terested in becoming a symbold
gav liberation. Most ol all, he km
said, he wants to he permitted It
stay in the Air Force because "mi
heart is with the military."
He said last week be thinks lit
discharge hoard will rule agaiinl
him, but that if it does he will cam
his case to the federal courts.
Matlovich sen ed three toursit
Vietnam and received the Purple
Heart when he was wounded.

AUSTIN Girls are being dis
criminated against in Texas public
schools, the Women’s Equity Ac
tion League and the Texas Civil
Liberties Union said Tuesday in fil
ing charges against the Texas Edu
cation Agency.
“Our charges were filed with the
federal government against the
Texas Education Agency after three
years of attempts to get various
Texas school districts to comply vol
untarily with federal law, which
prohibits sex discrimination in the
public schools. Dr. Paula Latimer,
speaking for the Equity League,
told a news conference.
“Since both Texas schools and
Washington agencies have proven
themselves indifferent to these vio
lations of federal law, we have de
cided to take the issue to court, fil
ing suit against the Texas Education
Agency.
She said that charges were filed
Tuesday with the Equal Employ
ment Opportunity Commission in
San Antonio.
"If there are no concrete changes,
we II he back in six months with a
court suit, she said.
Dr. Latimer said that although 70
per cent of Texas teachers are wo
men, only 20 per cent are school
administrators.
She said schools allot about 95 per
cent of their athletic budgets to
hoys.
"Girls get just fiv e cents out of
ev ery athletic dollar, are not al
lowed to play many sports and are
offered almost no interscholastic
competition, she said.
She also said that girls are re
quired or counseled to take
“feminine courses, such as typing
and home economies, which hoys
are not allowed to take or are dis
couraged from taking. Similarly,
such “male” courses as printing or
shop are virtually or literally closed
to girls, she said.
