Volunteers TODAY IS THE big clay. Today is the day that thousands of fun damentalist Bible believers are gather ing in Washington D.C. to march for "!victory over the Communists in Viet nam." Showing unusually cle a r un derstanding of global politics, the marchers intend to prove that they will no longer tolerate communism in any form. As everyone knows, the Reds have long confined their activities to hiding beneath the beds of good honest Americans, and are now blatantly trying to take over the rice paddies and mountains of Southeast Asia. LEADING THE MARCH is a Col lingswood, N.J. r eligi ous screamer named Rev. Carl Mclntire. While some might doubt that Rev. Mclntire can suc- Editorial Opinion for Victory cessfully lead the marchers correctly through the often tricky pathways of in ternational relations, none can question his insight into the United States government, When a White House aide mistakenly said the march had been cancelled, the good Reverend responded by charging that there were com munists in the White House. If, under even this misguided leadership, students and local residents still want to go to Washington, they should do so. But we have a suggestion. IF THEY WANT victory so badly, let them enlist in the Army, volunteer for infantry duty, and request a Viet nam assignment. Don't volunteer others for victory. Too many young men have already been ripped off from their families and sent to die. .kNchvyrp co+ 'otiri, 141 • glan Cartoon by Alan Courduff 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Link() Corporation located across from South Halls NOW RENTING New, modern all-electric apartments • Efficiencies • Semi one-bedrooms • One- and two-bedrooms Also modern all-electric single rooms Males Only EANUTS E3EiN6 A MANAGER 15 A I 1 JO H B..

Letters to 'Bible Believers' Back War TO THE EDITOR:' The March for Victory has from its inception been of Bible believers origin and support. The key verse from the beginning has been Psalm 20, verse 5. "We will rejoice in the salvation and in the name of our God we will set up our barriers: the Lord fulfill all thy petitions." However. many more different portions will be in evidence in the march. There is wide participation in this phase of preparation for almost daily someone calls on the telephone to Dr. Mclntire on his daily broadcast and has located another appropriate scrip ture verse to report. This has been continuing for several months now. This means that in order to call at 7:30 in the morning those on the west coast must call at 4:30 a.m. So you can understand there is a widespread interest in the Bible part of the emphasis. There will also be a concern about our nation removing the Bible reading from the public schools and other public places. There has come to all concerped people an awareness that "our enemies within" have not only opposed our nation's freedoms as granted by our constitution but have likewise op posed the people's concept of a nation "under God." Hence we will see represented in the march placards urging a return to faith in God, because we feel that in the past this nation has been signally blessed by God. This feeling first was displayed when our three astronauts circled the moon and read the creation account in their Christmas message. At that time there was what the Houston Space Center described as an avalanche of mail which came to that center addressed to those same three astronauts, con gratulating and commending them for their respectful recognition of God en their successful voyage. Each writer was sent a nice letter of reply which said: "Thank you for your well wishes. for your prayers offered in our behalf, and for your congratulations extended on the suc cessful completion of the Apollo VIII's historic voyage around the moon. "We are, of course, pleased that we were privileged to par ticipate in man's first interplanetary mission and are most grateful for your kind and generous comments regarding our accomplishments during this seven day flight. Signed by Col. Frank Borman, Capt. James A. Lovell, and Lt. Col. William A. Anders. At present there have been a great number of letters sent to the present Chief of State, Mr. Nixon, and Mr. Agnew in viting them to participate in the march for victory. Similarly we are concerned with the conditions presently displayed in the action in Vietnam now, and it seems wrong to us to abandon the Vietnamese as has been urged by some. Anti-war persons in this country, stepping across the line of dissent (which is tolerable) to traitorous action have sup plied the Viet Cong with information about American prisoners of war which has endangered the lives of these P.O.W.'s. A young Green Beret Major recently revealed to the House Armed Services Committee that his own life was im periled by data coming from anti-war sources in the United States. This young hero, captured in 1963, was told by his cap tors that the information was provided by "peace and justice loving friends" of the Vict Cong in the United States. Now any responsible citizen of these United States who values the freedoms guaranteed by the present constitution can plainly see that this exceeds the aims of any dissent group that has ever been openly expressed. We remember that when the moratorium was being so On Columbia Recdrds'-§ the Editor widely .publicized here in Centre County, one radio editorial mentioned that "these young people are not communists." Now if they weren't, it seems that the action in the foregoing incident needs some very real explaining. Likewise needing some explanation is the radio message from Hanoi heard on Feb. 15, 1967 saying: "It is clear that the American people's protest movement has become a real se cond front against U.S. Imperialists on the very soil of America. It is the largest, most stirring and best organized mass movement in U.S. History." The Green Beret officer mentioned before told the com mittee also that previous to 1967, the Viet Cong drew their in formation from their own sources but after 1967 they begin to quote from the A.P., the U.P.1., Life. Time, Newsweek, The Washington Post and The New York Times. They would report anything they could use related to disorders, dissension, draft card burners, deserters, the anti war movement and quotations from members of Congress, condemning our effort in Vietnam. A Vict Cong officer told him, "Very soon the people in your country will be convinced that coining to Vietnam was a mistake and when they decide that, those of :‘Ol.l who died in Vietnam will have died a useless death." . . - The enemy officer added, "Those who lead the revolution in your country will he the saviours and the heroes." • Now if you consider these statements and remember the avowed aims of the revolutionary groups operating in our land today, only because our freedoms avow them in ink vantage of other free people, another thing must occur to us and that is these revolutionaries even with the help they invite from foreign soil combined could not possibly run our country and its complexities but would only ruin it. Does a builder build with a wrecking bar? Now, my fellow Centre Region citizens are you still listen ing? Is your mind clear? While you are still in command use your freedom to defend your freedom. F 3, in Wasl , in-ton anrd march with us today, and carry a banner to show our boys in Vietnam that you support them. Don't let a foul report go over again. Hear the veterans tell their experience at the foot of the Washington Monument. Remember. George Washington was, repeat, was and is, the father of his country, and furthermore he outlasted every real opposition. Your opinion is very valuable.
