Ex-Illinois Professor Wants Stand on Sex
CHICAGO—(UPI)—A university teacher who lost his job for publicly advocating premarital sex relations has charged both major political parties with shying away from "legitimate" areas of sex in society.
Dr. Leo F. Koch, former University of Illinois assistant biology professor, was here to address a testimonial dinner and raise funds for an American Civil Liberties Union court fight challenging his dismissal from the University April 7.
At a news conference yesterday, Koch said the next few months will bring a lot of talk about "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But there is one liberty we need to learn much more about—the satisfaction of individual sex needs."
Koch stressed he was not suggesting that Democrats or Republicans include a platform plank on premarital sex relations, a subject which cost him his job when the University of Illinois Daily Illini, a student newspaper, published his support for premarital sex relations in "sufficiently mature" couples.
Individuals must decide their sex conduct for themselves, he said. But platform architects are "gutless" when they ignore such social problems as overpopulation and birth control, abortion and divorce laws.
He also grouped religious leaders
In the same vein, Koch said:
Sexually, Sweden is probably the least inhibited nation in the world; France is "perhaps as puritanical as the United States."

and educators with politicians among those who fail to meet the problem "with honesty and forthrightly."
Though not advocated, premarital pregnancy should be condoned if the mother is prepared for the responsibility.

ACTON, Calif. — (UPI) — Oscar Land, his wife and their 13-year-old grandson were sitting on the porch of their ranch home enjoying the setting sun when out of the twilight walked an elephant.

"We couldn't see too good," said Mrs. Thelma Land, 57. "We saw something coming, coming closer and up into the yard.
"Elephant! We all screamed and ran in the house."
It was Candi, the long nosed beast from Nature's Haven Tourist Zoo who wandered away from her home.
For half an hour Candi—weighing 5000 pounds and standing five feet—gamboled about the Land's ranch, walking in the opened back door and had a look at the interior.
The Lands managed to lure Candi out the back door again with buckets of water for the thirsty beast. She had been tramping through the desert in this Southern California area for 24 hours.

It said in a statement last night that several solid-fuel rocket engines were "successfully fired" in an altitude-simulating test cell at the Arnold Engineering Center, Tullahoma, Tenn.
Present target date for getting the nuclear-tipped missile into operation is the summer of 1962. The Air Force said it was able to advance the original mid-1964 completion date because of success in the early research stages.
"The tests marked the first time in rocket history that engines of such size and power have been fired in an altitude-simulating test cell," the statement said.
