Show r Page 10 The Utah Independent November M, 1976 The Paper That Dares To Take A Stand RED SUB SIGHTING RHODESIA & SOUTH AFRICA Norfolk, Va. By Jack Kestner LEDGER-STA- Continued from page 8 These legislators are deeply concerned that Kissingers maneuvering in southern Africa will produce another Castro as did the policies of the State Department during the Eisenhower Administration. MARILYN MANION That mistaken policy has cost the U.S. billions of "SLUMLORD! anti-Batis- ta dollars in added defense costs in the Caribbean area; the lives of several thousand Cubans killed by Castro firing squads; the establishment of an advance Soviet military operational base in the Western Hemisphere; and the imprisonment of more than 50,000 Cuban political prisoners. With Kissinger proposing to spend more than a billion dollars on his questionable Rhodesian plan, the Helms-Byr- d group contend that the American taxpayers have a right to know what kind of a new government their money will be helping to create. J.C. Phillips, the knowledgeable anticommunist editor of the Borger (Texas) protested Kissinger's activities in a letter to President Ford on September 13, 1976 as News-Heral- d, follows: "It ironic that our foreign-bor- n Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, represenadministration in the ting the White House, would be clamoring for majority rule in Rhodesia and South Africa when here in this country a nation of over 200 million people is practically ruled by representatives of a minority group of our people numbering less than five per cent of our total population. "There is not a single country in Africa wherein the people enjoy majority rule. In each case, a powerful minority or tribe of Negroes, controlled by one of their chiefs, imposes upon the great majority of the people of numerous other tribes or groups what amounts to a ruthless dictatorship. "It seems that Herr Kissinger has been dealing with these powerful black rulers who are so anxious to eliminate the white Christian civilization in Rhodesia and South Africa. "There are approximately 250,000 whites in Rhodesia (latest estimate is 267,000), of whom 125.000 are women. This leaves 125,000, of whom 60.000 are children and babies and 25,000 are old men. and infirmed. This leaves 40,000 Do you really believe that five million blacks - if they wanted to - could not eliminate the 40,000, even without arms? The majority of Rhodesian blacks are content with the present government and the progress it is making. "The American people have never given either you or any other president or congressman a mandate to police the world, and certainly not to help enemy nations destroy those nations such as Rhodesia and South Africa which are among the few nations that want to be our friends. "I pity the sophisticated among our leadership who are constantly working to eliminate our form of government in order to deliver our people into the hands of whatever New World Order that we hear parroted so often. "Such failure to! give our native land their undivided loyalty icalls attention to the man without a country who, too late, realized what he had lost. In order to get a capituation or surrender to his plan by the Rhodesian government, Kissinger has indicated in talks with African leaders that the United States will spend up to $2 billion to relocate whites from Rhodesia. In his intelligence publication "La Lettre D'Information Pierre de Villemarest states that with regard to the maneuver to strangle Rhodesia, it has for some time generated heat while the American Congress is indeed Ford-Rockefel- ler black-controll- ed able-bodi- ed ! i Continued on page 1 1 The incidents are all true, but to make them more poor is a problem that plagues cities all over the country. If you are a taxpayer, it also ' plagues you. The more money that is spent on housing for the poor, the worse the problem becomes. No one has come up with a solution for the inner-cit-y dilemma. But dramatic, the d Albert Lee, a period was rearranged into a h buildup. The secondary characters are all real. It is the story of how a small businessman, Detroit researcher and author. The book is a novel, but its fiction is fact; the story ot a real live Detroit landlord. Lee, speaking over the Forum radio program, told listeners red-hande- something about his book: Slumlord was written about the- - problems of the of Detroit, and really, about every major city. It was written to show the plight of the small direct vendor payment. Some people in Washington decided that it was demeaning for an individual of ADC to have their rent sent directly to the landlord. So the recipient gets just one businessman and the property owner in the major cities. One of the tremendous misconceptions about1 landlords is that they are absentee profiteers who are not involved at all in the city. This is true in some cases. There are a great of professional individuals who have worked in factories, who have saved their money, and who have bought a couple of income properties, often a duplex, in the hope that this will bring them some income in their later years. They are caught in a vicious situation because they are not big enough to walk away. They are trapped. The book is a biographical novel. It is the story of Charles Costa, an landlord. y I became of Charles Costa after seeing numerous aware articles in Detroit newspapers about things he was trying to do. As a landlord. Chuck tried to improve the quality of housing in Detroit. He did things like offering rat bounties to cut down on the number of children bitten by rats. He instigated tenant unions in the hope that partial control would bring respect for property. It didnt work. The book covers ten years of this mans life. It makes it into a story plot and brings this span down to a three month period. large lump sum every month. Well, that may be fine for their but what happened was that the day after this regulation went into effect, half the tenants in the area stopped paying rent. This direct vendor payment concept self-imag- . people who unwittingly get involved in slum properties not knowing what it takes to make them go and who eventually end up staying away from the buildings simply from fear. But most landlords are inner-cit- d. One of the worst aspects of the system is the inner-cit-y number an honest man, tries to provide a service, a decent living for tenants, and is destroyed by a system that is overly compassionate. Vandals break into one of his buildings. They rip out the plumbing. Chuck catches them He is even injured in the fray. He finally gets them to court and he has to bring his own lawyer. The thieves got free legal counsel. They are freed the same day. a Manion ar three-mont- book sheds some new light on the subject. It is Slumlord by recently-publishe- ten-ye- e, completely destroyed Chuck Costa. It cut his income by three-fourtand within a few months he was bankrupt. Suddenly 5,000 people in Detroit were without housing. H.U.D. officials have told me that they feel a poor person has a' right to own property regardless of hs whether they have saved and scrimped to obtain it. So the Federal government came in and took people who could not pay rent and did not know how to take care of money and gave them homes. It doesnt make much sense on a continuing basis because the - individual who hasnt worked for his house wont maintain it. When the first problem comes up, they walk away from it. The result is that H.U.D. ended up with thousands of abandoned homes. If author Lees remarks have whetted your appetite, order Slumlord from the publisher. (Arlington House, 16.

Box 990, Pigeon Forge, Tennessee 37B63. R. Norfolk The Navy has given partial confirmation to a report that the crew of a U.S. antisubmarine aircraft operating with a submerged U.S. submarine off the East Coast last spring learned they had been tracking a Soviet sub. was told The Ledger-Stearlier by a source that a long-ranar ge patrol aircraft from Patuxent River, Md., was operating some 80 miles east of Virginia Beach. The P-- 3 Orion was testing new detection gear on what was thought to be an American sub sailing Charleston from to Norfolk, he said. He worked close to an hour with the sub, and then learned later it was a Russian, the source said. The assumption was that it had trailed the American sub from Charleston. The source said there were a lot of high-lev- el messages about it, adding that Adm. Isaac C. Kiss, Atlantic Fleet commander in chief, both pilot personally and U.S. submarine commander. A query was turned in to an Atlantic Fleet spokesman some 10 days ago. He prepared a reply and sent it to Washington for clearance. de-brie- fed The reply came back Thursday afternoon. During the spring of 1976 a. P-- 3 VX-- 1 operating with a U.S. submarine off the East Coast of the United States held a contact identified as a possible submarine not associated with the exercise, it stated. Subsequent analysis failed to confirm the contact as a submarine. Kidd, a spokesman said, was briefed in a routine manner on the incident. In response to additional questions as to the location of the incident, and whether the P-- 3 thought the contact was a sub, a spokesman again bucked it to Washington. ' Washingtons blunt response was: We have no further comment on the matter. To have a Russian sub that close to shore would be nothing new. As early as 1962, the two commanders of the Atlantic and Pacific antisubmarine forces said during an interview that Soviet subs had been probing the U.S. coastline. The same, apparently, holds true for American subs. Earlier this year, a leaked segment of a House intelligence committees report stated: A highly technical U.S. Navy submarine reconnaissance program, often operating within unfriendl waters, has experienced at least nine collisions with hostile vessels in the last lOyears, over 1 10 possible detections, and at least three press exposures. As to the possibility that the Soviet sub trailed the U.S. sub from Charleston, a news account of the intelligence report details how the American nuclear attack sub Gato collided with a Soviet nuclear missile sub in 1969. The. Soviet sub turned, the American crew miscalculated, and ; Gato was hit amidships, fortunately in the heavily armored section around the nuclear reactor. Ed.
