NEW ORLEANS — Bourbon
Street during Mardi Gras could
make some X-rated movies look
tame.
Inhibitions disappear.
Gays openly display their sexual
preferences.
Straights fondle each other in
public.
People who may in real life be re
served, quiet types turn into exhibi
tionists.
Thousands packed the French
Quarter Monday for pre-Mardi Gras
partying that certainly would have
made a Midwestern schoolmarm
blush. At one street comer, a large
crowd gawked at a man wearing only
an orange wig and a pair of gossamer-
thin bikini briefs.
Spectators yelled and screamed,
hurling coins at the man and deman
ding he display himself.
One onlooker walked out of the
crowd, spoke to the man matter-of-
factly and pulled the man’s briefs
down to his ankles.
The crowd whooped and laughed
with delight.
“I can’t believe it,’’ said one
woman.
“He’s really doing it,” said
another.
The man bared himself several
times, stooping between shows to
collect the change that showered
down from the balconies above.
Since he was undressed, he had no
pockets, and so took the coins to a
fully dressed male friend leaning
against a portable toilet.
Then the raunchy show came to a
climax — almost literally.
The performer whispered in his
change-keeper’s ear, who placed his
thumbs inside the waistband of the
briefs, pulled them down to the per
former’s thighs and grabbed the
man’s crotch.
Money showered down from the
balcony.
The second man knelt before his
friend and began performing an
illegal act.
Another crowd gathered beneath
a crowded wrought iron Bourbon
Street balcony where a mostly male
audience yelled to a group of women
below.
After a few yells, three men
turned and displayed their der-
rieres.
That prompted one woman to lift
her purple knit top up to her neck
and display her chest.
Two of the women, apparently too
bashful to undo their tops, demur
red. The crowd persisted, shouting
“show some skin. ”
One woman — red-faced with
embarrassment and protesting loud
ly — was hoisted onto the shoulders

FBI knew chief informant
participated in KKK attacks
United Press International
NEW YORK — J. Edgar Hoover
knew in advance of a 1961 Ku Klux
Klan attack on a group of “freedom
riders” in Birmingham, Ala., but the
FBI failed to protect the civil rights
activists, according to the New York
Times.
OPEN
Monday through Friday 10:45 AM-1:45 PM
Quoting a Justice Department re
port, the newspaper said FBI agents
knew about and apparently covered
up the fact that the bureau’s chief
Klan informant during the 1960s was
involved in several such attacks.
QUALITY FIRST
Habitech
But the department found no evi
dence to suggest the informant, Gary
Thomas Rowe Jr., was involved in a
series of racial killings while on the
bureau payroll from 1960-65, the
newspaper said in a dispatch from
Birmingham.
Joseph Ross, agent in charge of the
FBI Birmingham office, Sunday de
clined comment, citing court action
on the matter.
T do not know of any report of that
nature in Birmingham, so I assume it
would be in Washington,” he said.
The Times said the department re
port said Rowe was a leader in the
Klan beatings that marked the begin
ning of violent racial conflict in Birm
ingham.
The report criticizes the FBI for
failing to protect the “freedom rid
ers” after Hoover, then the FBI
director, was told in advance of the
ambush that Klansmen planned at
the Birmingham bus station, the
Times said.
The report said Hoover was in
formed that Rowe, armed with a
lead-weighted baseball bat, was to
be a leader of one of the Klan attack
squads but the bureau failed to pro
tect the demonstrators, the Times
said.

The report detailed several inci
dents of violence involving Rowe
that allegedly were known to his FBI
superiors. But, “as long as he was
providing good intelligence, the
Birmingham field office was willing
to overlook , Rowe’s own involve-
ment,’* the Times quoted the report
as saying.

Dole’s campaign tries
to halt a GOP debate
1SS OF ’81:
reports from
United Press International
CONCORD, N.H. — Sen.
Robert Dole, R-Kansas, says his
campaign will go to federal court to
block a scheduled debate between
GOP presidential candidates Ronald
Reagan and George Bush.
The one-on-one debate is spon
sored by the Nashua Telegraph, an
afternoon newspaper in New Hamp
shire’s second largest city.
Carroll Jones, the GOP presiden
tial hopeful’s New Hampshire chair
man, said it was an “unfair and
damaging debate” because the news
paper would not allow all the GOP
candidates to participate.
Jones said he would file a request
in U.S. District Court in Concord
Tuesday, asking that the debate be
stopped because it violates federal
election laws.
“Any corporation, including a
newspaper, is charged with giving
fair and impartial treatment to the
candidates,” Jones said.
Jones said he could make a “strong
argument” that the newspaper has
violated Federal Election Commis
sion regulations and “should be en
joined from carrying out an action
which is, on the face of it, discrimina
tory and damaging. ”
Jon Breen, the Telegraph’s execu
tive editor, had no comment on
Jones’ statement.
