In the first place I happen to be a RepubliI do not share many of the views of the present administration but this has nothing to do with our place in Vietnam man like King can shoot off his mouth because those young Marines are dying over in those jungles to preserve the very principle that lets him talk The "Victor Charlies" were doing the same thing the North Koreans were doing in Korea which WaS jamming communism down the throats of every man woman and child or killing and torturing anyone who got in their way I once had a disagreement with Mr David Lawrence over some anti-gu- n legislation but I read his article in the same edition Mr Lawrence has probably forgotten more about foreign affairs than all the Kings in the country will ever know Part of the reason we can't bomb airfields In Vietnam and take other military measures stems from the fact there are enough Kings in the country to put pressure on our Defense Department and in so doing force sacrificing American lives EDWARD L clumon Finest Nursing Care Editor Tribune: I have just read the completely biased letter to the editor written by Lois Bird (April 5) in which she accuses some sons and daughters of robbing their aged parents blind and then putting them in rest homes because they cannot bother with them In the same letter she also accuses rest home operators of doping the elderly people to quiet them thus making "walking zombies" out of them It is evident that Lois Bird Ls not acquainted with accredited rest homes nor has she ever had the responsibility of caring for an aged person in her home especially one who is gradually deteriorating mentally or who Is incapacitated physically After six years of struggling to care for an invalid mother resulting in a near nervous breakdown for me we reluctantly made the decision to move her to a nursing home She Moreover many capable men without mncial means cannot always get the support they need to run for office although they would really be successful in the service of their government 11- Forum Rules Than lee mink Wirth must be submitted exclusively to The Tribune and boar writers full PIM' and address Names must be printed so on political letters but may be withheld for toed reasons Forum cm Editor Tribune: The following incident occurred April 3 and I wish to publicly thank the gentleman who was so alert for saving the life of my child yesterday—whoever he is A lady in our neighborhood was looking after my little girl age 212 and had just told her to stay close by because "mama" was coming and not to cross the street Little Allison had not crossed the street before by herself and did not show any inclination to do so before this incident: children were on the But yesterday other side of the street playing and Allison wanted to go over so without looking she darted into the street The driver must have been keenly alert with good automobile brakes because I am others Preference true Kama and to Van Ictehril Permittlhe will be which We Fined and theft With 111 Chow has had every care far better than I could give her and under the supervision of trained doctors nurses and personnel I think her statement to me the second day after we moved here speaks more eloquently In defense of good nursing homes than I can express She said "They are so sweet and kind to me you would think I was their mother" That statement alone was a solid gold stamp of approval for the home and for my peace of mind in the decision that we found so difficult but necessary to make A DEVOTED DAUGHTER No Use Mayor—New Yorkers Can't Smile NEW YORK — Mayor John V Lindsay's plea for politeness in New York was a touch ing but perhaps fruitless gesture — Said the Mayor "a a friendly kind word ) nod a smile a 'good 4 morning' or a 'good evening' can go a long way a this to making better and a happier city" 4' -
