Unscrupulous promoters capitalize
on public sympathy for POWs
WASHINGTON UP) _ The
young woman seemed to be fight
ing back tears as she talked on
the telephone about the prisoners
of war in Vietnam.
“Well, the publishing charge
runs a total of $5, and God knows
we need the help if we’re ever
going to get our men out of
there,” she said.
That appeal brought in thou
sands of dollars from residents
of Orange County, Calif., who
thought they might help the
POWs by placing their names,
for $5 each, in an obscure tabloid
called Veterans News.
The Orange County district
attorney’s office closed the op
eration by court injunction this
summer, charging it with “false,
fraudulent, deceptive, or mislead
ing” representations, and found
a convicted armed robber in
charge.
The incident is just one of an
increasing number where self
promoters have capitalized on
public sympathy for the plight
of the POWs or on the tendency
for families of prisoners or men
missing in action to grasp at any
hope.
In recent months:
—A California promoter now
in jail on a bad check conviction
gained the cooperation of POW-
MIA family groups in California
and Arizona for fund-raising ac
tivities which left the organiza
tion holding the financial bag.
—A Texas promoter lured an
Atlanta POW group into grandi
ose plans for a benefit show, then
abruptly departed town, leaving
a string of unpaid bills behind
him.
—A man who claims he’s a
lawyer and lists addresses in
Idaho and Amsterdam has ap
proached POW family groups in
Miami, Norfolk, Va., and Phoe
nix, asking $25,000 to finance
negotiations with Buddhist monks
to care for prisoners in North
Vietnamese camps. So far as is
known, he hasn’t collected a dime
on his pitch.
—Four men and a woman hired
teen-agers to solicit on street
corners in Jackson, Miss., for the
POW cause, and got out of town
a step ahead of the police after
three days of collections.
As the petition-signing and
letter-writing for the POWs and
MIAs has mounted nationwide
this year, so has the fund raising.
The State Department private
ly takes a dim view of most of
the fund raising activities. Offi
cials question what could be done
with the money that would bene
fit imprisoned or missing men.
The exception is the National
League of Families of Prisoners
and Missing, to which the gov
ernment lends its tacit support
as representing POW and MIA
relatives.
Another gorup which has had
some success is the Committee of
Liaison, headed by Cora Weiss,
in New York. Mrs. Weiss says
the committee has spent $10,000
over the past 18 months. Most
of the money, she said, has come
from small, unsolicited donations.
Veterans News opened its
Orange County operation in May.
Its leader, Jack K. Armstrong,
served time in jail during 1965
after pleading guilty to armed
robbery. His record also lists a
bad-conduct discharge from the
Marines and court-martial con
victions for unauthorized absence
and theft of a .45 caliber pistol.
Insurance benefit plans
are exempted from freeze
WASHINGTON 6T)—The Cost
of Living Council Wednesday
allowed what it said were the
first exemptions to the wage-
price freeze by allowing new gov
ernment-funded group-insurance
benefit programs to go into effect
in Florida, Texas, and Missouri.
In a statement, the council said
the exemptions were being made

because prior group insurance
plans had been dropped in antici
pation of the new plans.
“A failure to grant the exemp
tions would have left the em
ployes involved either without
insurance programs or forced
them to make payments substan
tially higher than under previous
programs,” the council statement
said.
“The council felt that the latter
situation would have caused an
undue hardship to many of the
lower-paid employes in the
groups.”
The council ruling affects em
ploye groups in Columbia County,
Fla., the Missouri Teachers’ Asso
ciation and the Texas Public
Employes’ Association.
The council said director
George Lincoln of the Office of
Emergency Preparedness had
recommended that the exemp
tions be granted.
“The council also noted that
in all three cases details of the
new plans had been made public
and employes were being enrolled
prior to the freeze,” the council
said.
