CREEP AND DOLL 
Sirs: 
I protest most vehemently against such scurrilous pictures as you show in "The Creep and the Doll" (LIFE, March 19). It is sufficiently nauseating to know that such scandals as these exist without having the graphic account painted in such detail.
MARGO ANDERSON 
Lake Orion, Mich. 

MARINES COME HOME 
Sirs: 
The mother of the Marine walking down the ramp ("Marines Come Home," LIFE, March 19) was the picture of our era.
JAMES J. VAUGHAN 
Baton Rouge, La. 

ROUND HOUSE 
Sirs: 
Congratulations to LIFE for the strikingly beautiful picture of "The Round House" (LIFE, March 19). 
LOWELL D. ASHBY 
Chapel Hill, N.C. 

Sirs: 
Goff House? You mean Goof House. 
MRS. BYRON L. MABIE 
Rockford, Ill. 

ELK HANDOUT 
Sirs:
In the March 19 issue you printed this startling headline: "Elk get handout, but Washington fears they may lose self-reliance." I was stunned, bewildered. 
Then the simple solution came to me: elk don't vote. 
LOUIS LA FORTUNE . 
Chicago, Ill. 

MALE CHARM? 
Sirs: 
Thanks for briefing the male animal that most girls prefer their men rugged and crew-cropped ("This Is Male Charm?" LIFE, March 19).
