and hard and ugly words have long since fallen upon him from the lips of erstwhile comrades who now berate him as a renegade But the shock of this episode has now largely gone because Humphrey is too busy to care too much any more and because he sees Vietnam as the great divide between the men and the boys in the camp of American liberalism His by such Americans for Democratic Action — an organization he helped to found and an organization in which at the start led resistance to early efforts at Communist penetration — has by no means been an unmixed bane For following logically from it has come a degree of acceptability for HIM among moderate and conservative Democrats notably and ironically in the South and West Their old suspicion of his domestic policies is vanishing in a new appreciation of his stance on Vietnam and on Communist containment in general Out In Front Task Force Humphrey is operating for the administration very much as a military task force operates out ahead

WOO 'Task Force Races Over US 1 i In joining the debate on Vietnam this week Senator Wallace F Bennett of Utah did not offer a specific solution or call for new action Instead he analyzed the war In its historic context emphasizing that "our presence in Vietnam is in keeping e with our foreign policies" and declaring that negotiations should not be started "until we can be sure that at the South Vietnam will still be free end and independent" President Johnson Secretary of State Dean Rusk and other administration spokesmen have said much the same I - - Li - : L- t' ances: one to some nonpolitical and general body say a meeting of a Catholic Protestant or Jewish charity group another before the local or regional press and television a third in private to some group of business or labor leaders The aggregate attendance at these far- scattered public appearances already runs Into the hundreds of thousands and will at length run into millions Giving No Quarter r f 1 9:1 sion News reports and TV coverage of UN Security Council sessions were blatently biased the Zionists saw to this very cleverly It insulted the intelligence of every American and yet because we constantly received only one side to this issue we were and still are led to believe the very thing the Zionists wish us to believe namely that Israel is always right no matter what crimes she commits and vtery other country concerned is wrong Dr Saab is too polite too modest in his statements although perhaps this will make more palatable to so many Americans There is no need d to state that Americans are so that they "seek through truth the real facts" If this were so Every knowledgeable American would resist Zionism in this country instead of supporting its insidious spread I would hate to believe that we support this treacherous movement out of ignorance — yet it may be so Sadly to say our tradition of "fair play peace liberty and Justice for all people" will soon become a mockery if we continue to allow Zionism in our country A happy note to end on is the fact that more Americans than ever before are awakening to the facts I know this by a great response which I and others have had to our letters printed in various papers especially back East where Zionism and its influence is overwhelming So there is hope that In the near future the American public will be more discerning and more demanding when it is faced with coverage of foreign affairs We must read and hear two sides to every conflict three or more sides would be even better if they exist We are entitled to that much after preaching to the world about our democratic system and countless freedoms and rights JOAN QUILTER MODIR Humphrey has long since abandoned any notion of turning the other cheek to hard-cor- e peaceniks and is giving more than he gets on every college campus He Is hitting the theme that three successive presidents have found resistance to military communism in Asia to be indispensable and That all three are unlike ly to be wrong He is wryly aware that he is little noted in Washington and the East which he regards as pretty well drenched with antiwar propagan- da but asserts that out in the country the majority will support the war to the end when its justifications are presented with force and without apology Right or wrong he is going for broke he Is prepared to live or die politically on the Issue his suggestions Zionist-influence- I Interlandi d r---- -7 f”-- fair-minde- one-side- d -- 77:i'tT' - - - tt : t 1 t-- f sk w I A '71 1111' i-- - — t T 1 '' --- I —1'"-1 1 -- lai I Nr ' ' : ' '' t i Ai 0 i ' t l'' '' ° ' ' o' tot love" :ide ' - p!1) 1071144141096 i in 'JL ' j -- ciiIrr4 V IONNIENISNIA t 1 :' INme g -- - "of all the noneandidates not running for President who would you like to see not get the nominationr : |
