It was just one of countless
speeches the An/nna congressman
has made in his r|iiest lor the Demo

pros ides stmie important clues to his
campaign
It wasn t tlx most popular line- a
politician could take with a police
audience telling them that condi
tions in society lead to crime and the
best was to hgMt c nmc is to fight its
causes
But l clalI al4> leaned hard on tlte

made just as strongls in Harlem a

And he told loth the New York
ghetto and the Midwestern police
department that there are no easy
answers
"The mayors and the polne com
missioners have the responsibility to
fight crime." I’dall said But I can
assist from Washington
I’dall had been just as frank in
talking about the future of Israel in a
suburban New York synagogue No
one has the solution The best thing
we can do is to hunker down and just
live it out."

Generalizations unfair
Editor:
I am writing this letter in reply to
your article in last week s Battalion
(Wed , April 14t concerning tin*
housing problems faced by interna
tional students attending Texas
A&M.
It is true that international stu-
dents arriving at A6cM from all over
tlie world lace problems with hous
ing — just as many Americans also
find difficulties in finding places to
live, and this problem will lie greatly
accentuated next hill In this respect,
the article showed some ic-
semblanct* to quality journalism —
"telling it like it is "
I have Im'cii at \6c.M long enough
to ex|>erieiKe generalizations made
hy jienple such as the apartment
owners cited in the article. I have
finally put this down to simple ignor-
-ance. There exists definite problems
with some internationals concerning
leases and the condition of the
apartment when the. tenant vacates.
But. is it not also true that similar
conditions exist with many Ameri
cans — then why the singling out ol
the internationals? I challenge these
apirtmeut owners tocite actual cases
of such abuse, and to refrain from
generalizations Nothing can he
gained from generalities.
There are real problems — prob
lems we must work with together to
come to a satisfactory solution to all
parties. The International Students
Association winks closely with the
International Advisors office* during
orientation.
I hereby extend an inv itation to a
representative of tin* apartment
owners of this community to attend
this orientation session, to discuss
problems concerning housing lor
new students.
Understanding can break down
igiHirance. so let’s get together.

Laundry blues
Editor:
Caution: to all those using the*
university laundry serv ice. The
A6iM Laundry is literally attempting
to "take the shirt off your hack
Upon opening my laundry on
April 2. I found the following articles
missing: three dress shirts, lour
T-shirts, one pair of pants, two pair
of cutoffs and one pillowcase. After
tiling my claim. I waited 13days,live
days more than the normally re
quired time. Iiefore returning to tin*
laundry. Even after this extended
time. Mr Williams, the laundry
manager, asked me to wait another
week Already tired of wearing the
same old shirt for two weeks, I went
to see Colonel Johnson, head of tin*
Ctnndry Board. He invited me to
the next Laundry' Board (composed
of five students and five staff mem
bers' meeting to Ik* held on April 15.
Upon hearing my story, the board
proceeded to settle my claim using a
standard policy for lost articles.
First, they figured in a depreciation
factor which lowered my original re
placement estimation from approx
imately $80 to $66.70. Next, accord
ing to this policy the following stipu
lations were made III find any of the
lost articles, the laundry w ill reim
burse me only fifty per cent of the
depreciated amount for the remain
ing lost articles. If tin* laundry finds
any of tin* lost articles, they will
reimburse one hundred per cent of
the depreciated value minus the re
turned clothing.
And. if this doesn t make vour col
ors run! II none ol the articles arc-
found, the laundry "service will
reimburse only 75 per cent ol the
$66.70. Tills 75 per cent is actually
25 per cent higher than the* rate's set

extended hy the* hoard because, as

Carter was criticized after the
Iowa precinct caucuses for allegedly
misleading supporters on abortion.
He said later he tlKiught abortion

of a constitutional amendment to
prohibit it Ford favors giving each

Tin* strongest Udall outlKirst in
unite aw hile came m New Y ork as he
described former Georgia Gov.
Jimmv Carter s position on the jol>s
lull "Fudge, fudge, fudge,” he
shouted.
But the bottom line is always jobs.
When he’s attacking Jackson on
defense spending, it conies down to
jol»s.
"We don't need B 1 iKiinliers and
Trident submarines, he said in
-Neenah, Wis. "We need more jobs."
"Defense spending sprees — as
suggested hy some in this presiden
tial contest — actually cost jol>s.” he
said in Stevens Point.
(Jackson has urged-increasing the
size* of the Navy from 477 ships to
over 600. He says he is opposed to
the B 1 lumber program and would
cut it from the defense budget.)
Environmental protection. Udall
contends, is g(K»d for the unem
ployed Here in Steveiis Point," he
said, "environmental efforts have
created jobs."
In Manitowoc the local issue is a
rail ferrv service alxnit to Ik* discon
tinued.
1 stand with Mayor Anthony
Dufek of Maintowoc in urging all
m**m0*ii
possible assistance to preserv e Lake
Michigan rail ferry service,” Udall
said. "It means the savings of jobs
that would lie lost.
Udall supports a hill in Congress
sponsored by Sen. Hubert H. Hum
phrey, D-Minn.. and Rep. Augustus
Hawking, D-Calif., which proposes
to create five million jobs and bring
the unemployment rate down to
about 3 per cent in 18 months.
Everywhere he goes. Udall makes
a pitch lor this bill as the answer to
the jobs problem, which he pictures
as the central problem of the
economy.
’People in America want to
work," he says at every stop. "The
sun came up this morning and
America went to work today. But
eight million of them wanted to go to
work and there w*asn t any work. The
first order of business on Jan. 20
(presidential inauguration day) is
going to be to put America to work
The phrasing and emphasis may
change slightly from place to place
and audience to audience. But the
solutions offered are the same.
To the nation's mayors, meeting in
New York. Udall says the federal
government should protect the
major cities from financial collapse as
it did for New York last winter.
Then he goes into the suburbs and
says the same thing. "And l said it in
George Wallace’s Alabama, he re
minds crowds in upstate New York
and agricultural mid-state Wiscon
sin. "If New York falls, Rochester
might he next, or Milwaukee or
Phoenix."
Udall also talks alxmt foreign pol
icy, saying he agrees with efforts to
ward detente with the Soviet bkx*
hut, like other administration critics,
arguing that the United States isn’t
getting enough in the bargaining.
He praises the Ford-Kissinger ap
proach in general terms, hut again
says maylK* Kissinger should have
gotten more in the Siani accord,
principally Egyptian agreement to
negotiate directly with Israel.
As part of his economic program.
Udall hits strongly at the large cor-
porations which he accuses of con
trolling the economy through
competition-killing monopoly.
"We re going to break ’em up. he
told an election eve rally in Mil
waukee. "And th«* lag oil companies,
too. What we need is some g<x>d old
American eom|x*tition
Udall continues to struggle with
an identity problem despite months
of campaigning One ol his aides was
sitting in the lobby ol a New York
hotel when someone noticed the
campaign entourage passing through
and asked what all the commotion
