Violence, when it occurs, is usually not planned but arises out of an interaction between protesters and responding authorities.' Black college students, more interested in independence than integration, provide a fertile base for campus militancy. There has been a resurgence of militant white protest, largely directed against the gains of the black communities. The policeman in America is overworked, undertrained, underpaid and undereducated and his response to mass protest has often resulted in an escalation of conflict, hostility and violence. The Violence Commission was formed by President Lyndon B. Johnson after the assassinations last year of Martin Luther King Jr. and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. Its staff director, Jerome H. Skolnick of University of California, Berkeley, was assigned the report titled: The Politics of Protest; Violence aspects of Inside The New S Protest' and Confrontation. In a brief preface, Eisenhower said it was being made public so it could be judged on to provoke criticism and comment. In studying student protest, the report said the current student generation is more morally and politically serious and better educated than the generation of the 1950s. The resort to mass protest can not be explained away by referring to personality problems or delinquency, it said. its merits informed On governments wholesale price index up eight-tentof one per cent in May, the Labor Department reported today.

The nurse from Canton, Ohio, was assigned to the 312th Evacuation Hospital at Chu Lai on April 29 and went to work in the Vietnamese ward.

They said Nixon was hopeful that his decision to withdraw 25,000 U.S. troops from South Vietnam by the end of August would convey a significant message to the other side. The bulk of the 25,000 will be combat troops, they said, and asserted this fact should underscore the Intended signal. While Nixon and Thieu indicated more troops will be pulled out later, the White House said there is no numerical target for the year.

I am able to pronounce his name correctly, and I would think that when you are using it in making charges against an individual, it is helpful to pronounce his name correctly, with due respect to an individual.

Kennedy defended the institution, the Center for Economic and Social Studies, as a fighter against communism. The center, Thurmond went n ' on, was also a training school for radicals under the tutelage of such leftist Latin politicians as Juan Bosch, former president of the Dominican Republic, and Jose Figueres, former president of Costa Rica. Thurmond said that Douglas as president of the Parvin Foundation was a board member of the center. Douglas has resigned his Parvin v post.
