Wanderin'—
By Larry R. Jerden
A newspaper receives more than its share of material sent out
by special-interest groups and some of it deserves some special
comment. A letter received by The Battalion yesterday falls in
this-category.
This two-page propaganda attempt comes from “End the Draft,”
c/o Mitchell, 150 Crown Street, Brooklyn, New York, and appears
to be an attempt to raise money and support for a David Mitchell's
fight of the draft law.
He is carrying his argument to its third or so appeal, trying
to introduce as evidence the Nuremburg Law of the International Mili
tary Tribunal that tried German war criminals following WW-II.
His argument is that, in sentencing the Germans, we told them
they should not have followed the orders of their superiors in carry
ing out criminal actions. He is merely following that order in
this country by not submitting to the “criminal war” in Vietnam.
According to Mitchell, this is but another in a long list of
such wars. His plan of defense, the letter says, “. . . is to prove
in one way or another that the United States has been guilty of such
wars of aggression and acts of inhumanity in Vietnam, Cuba, Panama,
Santo Domingo and elsewhere . . .”
In other words, he is attempting to prove that the United States
has been guilty of actions similar to those of the Nazis! In his
eyes, it is we, not the Viet Cong, who have butchered innocent civilians
and villiage leaders in the present war. Evidently he has proof that
we, not the North Vietnamese, are guilty of skinning and mutilating
enemy pilots shot-down by anti-aircraft fire.
And to carry on with his accusation, it must be the dirty Amer
icans and not the Communist Castro regieme who executed thousands
of Cubans in the years following the revolution.
Mr. Mitchell, was it America that threatened the Dominican
Republic with revolution ? What crimes did we commit there except
to try and keep the peace ? Did we tear down Panamanian flags ? I
thought it was the other way around.
No matter what the legal tricks you may use, no matter how
many demonstrators you enlist to parade before your courtrooms,
no matter how much money you raise from mislead people, you,
Mr. Mitchell, are still, by your actions, giving aid and comfort to
our enemies. You are giving Ho Chi Minh & Co. the idea that we
lack the will to fight, that we consider the actions of our nation
criminal. We do not!
Your actions are treason.
If your nation is too criminal for you, Mr. Mitchell, consider
this fact: The Atlantic Ocean runs both ways.

Senatorial Commentary
From John G. Tower
One of the greatest areas of
congressional activity this year
is going to be attempts to cut
short the inflationary trends fac
ing our nation.
The Senate considered this
week a special tax bill. I believe
we must make additional efforts
to obtain tax law adjustments so
each American and each Texan
will bear a more reasonable tax
load.
It is a matter of grave con
cern to me that continued federal
deficit spending — the paying
out of dollars the government
does not have — has driven the
cost of living ever upward. For
a majority of Texas wage earn
ers, 1965’s income tax cuts have
been more than offset by the
ever-increasing cost of living
and by increased Social Security
taxes.
A normal Texas family will
have to earn more money this
year just to stay even with the
purchasing power of 1963. If
your family income was $6,000
back in 1963, you will have to
earn $176 more this year just to
maintain your 1963 standard of
living.
Just a brief look around us
shows that our dollar which was
worth 100 cents in 1955 is now
an 85-cent dollar.
In the last ten years our food
dollar has dropped to 85 cents.
Our rent dollar is now an 87-
cent dollar.
Our clothing dollar is now a 93-
cent dollar.
Our college-cost dollar is now
a 76-cent dollar.
In total, it now costs you $11.10
to buy what you could get for
only $10 just six years ago.
These drastic increases in the substituted compulsion for free-
overall cost of living did not dom and thrown the free market
happen automatically. They hap- out of kilter by attempting to
pened because of unwise govern- substitute for it a federally-plan-
ment policies—policies that have ned economy.
