Ugandan troops
repel rebel attack
KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) —
Troops inflicted heavy casualties in
repulsing an attack by about 500 re
bels on an eastern Ugandan trading
center, Radio Uganda reported Sun
day.
The official radio gave no details
of the battle last Thursday at Katek-
wani trading center, about 20 miles
west of Mbale town.
Mbale is 170 miles northeast of
the capital.
On Friday, soldiers captured
about 200 rebels in a sweep around
Kachumbala, a small town 25 miles
north of Mbale, Radio Uganda said.
It said the operation made safe
for travel the road from Mbale to
Komuge. The road had been closed
since June, cutting off Mbale from
fishing villages around Lake Kyoga.
There was no independent verifi
cation of the reports.

Supporters rally to honor Eugene McCarthy
20 years after becoming presidential hopeful
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Peace
buttons and posters were seen again
Sunday as supporters honored for
mer Sen. Eugene McCarthy, who
galvanized the anti-Vietnam War
movement when he declared his
E residential candidacy 20 years ago
ist week.
Although he eventually lost the
1968 Democratic presidential nomi
nation to then-Vice President Hu
bert Humphrey, a fellow Minneso
tan, McCarthy said his campaign
helped America put military deci
sions into historical context.
“You can’t go in and say, ‘The ide
ology says we fight or the military
says we can win or there’s a doctrine
of some kind that’s been applied or
this is a line of tradition of the coun
try,’ ” McCarthy told the crowd of
about 200.
McCarthy, now 71, announced his
presidential campaign on Nov. 30,
1967, amid growing dissention over
the Vietnam War. His campaign at
tracted young opponents of the war
who decided to get “Clean for Gene”
and fight the Democratic Party es
tablishment.
Eventually, President Lyndon B.
Johnson decided against seeking re-
election, and Humphrey narrowly
lost the 1968 presidential contest to
Republican Richard M. Nixon.
McCarthy also sought but failed to
win the Democratic nomination for
president in 1972 and ran for presi
dent as an independent in 1976. He
now lives in Virginia, where he
writes. He has said he has no plans to
run for office again.
“In Minnesota the campaign of
’68 was very much like civil war, and
it was difficult to work out a reconcil
iation during the campaign and dif
ficult to do it after,” McCarthy said.
McCarthy’s campaign helped
America avoid future entanglements
in foreign countries, said Vance Op-
perman, 44, of Hopkins, who helped
organize the reunion.
“We do not have 400,000 troops
in Central America,” Opperman
said. “We do not have 400,000
troops in Afghanistan. We have not
invaded Honduras. Many of the ad
ventures, misadventures that I think
would have occurred have not oc
curred primarily because I think ev
eryone knows Vietnam was a mis
take.
“The amazing thing about this
movement was, I’ve never heard in
20 years anyone — anyone — on any
side of any issue ever say that we
were wrong, we should have stayed
in Vietnam. ... I think that’s an
American consensus.”
McCarthy “helped lead a
movement,” said Mayor Don Fraser,
a former congressman who had sup-
ported Humphrey in 1968. “He was
a rallying point for a large part of
this country. It helped to educate a
whole generation of America.”
