scows. i 'U, SI; plfplp' 4 PRE Movie depicts sergeant's struggle By BURT BERLINER Associated Press Writer NEW YORK He's 35 and Catholic 6-foot-l, lean with short red hair and a friendly smile. A former Air Force sergeant with an impeccable 12-year military record, he won the Bronze Star and Purple Heart during one of three tours of duty in Vietnam. He could be your next-door neighbor, a mechanic, accountant or the family doctor. His name is Leonard Matlovich and he's one of the country's most controversial homosexuals.

THE CASE of Matlovich (Cairfltoini is Earostto Less than tar. Sports and music make up the best of the evening's TV. It's a recurring theme. At 8 p.m. on Channel 2, there's Lions football with Detroit in Cleveland against the Browns for an exhibition game.

At 9 p.m. Channel 56's festival of live concerts brings back memories of the big band and swing days with Tex Beneke, Bob Eberly and Helen O'Connell "Live from Wolf Trap." They're followed by a rerun of Wolf Trap concert with the King of Swing, Benny Goodman, At 9 p.m. on Channel 4, a new "NBC World Premiere Movie" comes from real life. "Sgt. Matlovich vs.

the VS. Air Force" is the story of the sergeant who was dismissed from the service in 1975 after declaring that he was a homosexual. Matlovich is fighting, as unconstitutional, the Air Force rule under which he was discharged. The case is still in the courts. The movie stars Brad Dourif (the stutterer in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's and a good supporting cast of Marc Singer, Frank Converse, Stephen Elliott, Rue McQanahan, Mitch Ryan and David Spielberg.

Movies The Swan," to be seen at midnight on Channel 2, was made in 1956 Just before Grace Kelly ceased being an actress and became a princess. The gentle story about a prince's search for a suitable wife had romantics atwitter because of its real-life parallels. Alec Guinness is the prince; Louis Jour dan looks handsome as the tutor. "Cowboy," at 1 a.m. on Channel 4, isn't the usual Western about a tenderfoot learning the ropes (and saddles and sores).

There's both heart and humor, and Glenn Ford and Jack Lemmon are at their best Bettelou Peterson Warning: Tht Surgeon General Has Determined That Cigarette Smoking fs Dangerous to Your Health. Boi: Less than O.S mg. "nr." 0.05 mg. meotmi Soft Pad and Menthol I mg. "tar." 0.1 mg.

The Lucy Show vs. the Air Force is winding through the courts in a challenge to the military's longstanding ban against homosexuals. The story is told in an NBC movie, "Sgt. Matlovich vs. the U.S.

Air Force," starring Brad Dourif as Matlovich. The movie will be broadcast at 9 p.m. Monday. Matiovich's attorney, E. Carrington Boggan, who is handling the case free of charge, says he hopes the issue will reach the Supreme Court and produce a landmark decision on gay rights comparable to that court's historic school integration decision in 1954.

"It's a simple case of civil rights," says Matlovich, who was discharged in 1975 after informing his superior officer he was gay. A decision on Matiovich's appeal to have his Air Force discharge overturned is expected soon from the U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia. It's likely that the losing side will appeal to the nation's highest court "No matter what happens, gay men and women will continue to serve in the military," says Matlovich, BORN AT Hunter Air Force Base in Savannah, the son of a retired Air Force sergeant, Matlovich now lives in San Francisco and lectures around the country on his struggle for the right to be openly gay. "Homosexuals aren't Interested in converting heterosexuals' he tells his audiences.

"Heterosexuality is as strong as it ever was. But new sexual values, women's liberation and the changing roles of the sexes terrify and anger many persons. "People think the mere knowledge that military personnel or teachers are gay will automatically seduce others. Hogwash! Today's alternatives are not limited to a choice between straight or gay life-styles. The choices center on a reconsideration of the traditional roles of masculinity and feminity.

"Remaining in the closet encourages ignorance, fear and self-hatred," Matlovich says. "I just want to live and let live. That means equal rights and protection under the law."
