Pacifists gather in protest
U.S. troop deployment spawns
60s-style anti-war movement
Wednesday
Associated Press
Supporters of U.S. military action in the Middle East
are hanging out flags and baking cookies, and pacifist
groups are staging what one termed the opening shots
of an anti-war movement.
“It’s happening too fast for people to actually com
prehend,” said Doug Rand, a spokesman for the Re
source Center for Nonviolence in Santa Cruz, Calif.
In Lake Worth, Fla., about 20 self-described “neo
hippies” protested the U.S. military action Sunday by
walking across the Lake Worth bridge carrying signs
saying “Love Life” and “Peace for our Children.”
“I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but it needs to be
said,” said the group’s leader, Elizabeth Dick, an editor
for the National Examiner. “Under no circumstances
should the United States take military action. ... I think
the U.S. is being used to do the world’s dirty work.”
A small group of Rhode Islanders took to the streets
Monday in Providence.
Their banners said: “U.S. troops out of the Middle
East. No war for the oil companies and Wall Street.
Money for jobs, homes, schools at home, not war
abroad.”
“We’re responding like in 1963 when advisers were
sent to Vietnam,” said Bill Bateman of the All Peoples
Congress. “This is the opening shot of an anti-war
movement.”
Accompanied by chants and the beating of a Buddh
ist prayer drum, 16 protesters blocked the main gate of
Westover Air Force Base, home of C-5A cargo planes,
for about two hours Monday at Chicopee, Mass.
“Those C-5As can carry troops to Saudi Arabia, nu
clear weapons and chemical weapons,” said Renard
Thompson of Colebrook, Conn. “We want the people
flying those planes to think about the decision they’re
making. It’s a moral decision.”
But in Davie, Fla., a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, I
Morrison and his neighbors hung yellow ribbons
their houses, trees and cars in honor of the American
soldiers, including his son, whose Army unit had left
Fort Stuart in Georgia.
While convoys of Army equipment headed from Fort
Campbell, Ky., to Jacksonville, Fla., during the
U.S ■ troops out of the Middle East.
No war for the oil companies and Wall
Street. Money for jobs, homes, schools at
home, not war abroad.”
Slogans of protestors
in Rhode Island
week, hundreds of people lined Interstates 24 and75in
Chattanooga, Tenn., waving flags and holding up signt
of support. —
Georgia residents turned out about 20 at a time at
highway overpasses to cheer convoys from the lOlsi
Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Ky. The soldiers
were moving their equipment through the state on their
way to Mayport, Fla., for shipment to the Mideast.
In southern California, Moreno Valley residentspre
pared more than 200 dozen cookies for Marines sched
uled for deployment to the Middle East.
East Germany sets
reunification date
EAST BERLIN (AP) — East Ger
many’s unruly political factions
briefly put aside their differences
Tuesday and set an Oct. 14 date to
unify the troubled nation with West
Germany.
But hours later, the Social Demo
cratic Party said it wanted the date
set a month earlier and would chal
lenge the agreement. Richard Sch-
roeder, the Social Democratic leader
who had agreed to the Oct. 14 date,
resigned as chief of his faction in
Parliament.
The Social Democrats were meet
ing to assess whether they could
muster the votes to torpedo the Oct.
14 arrangement worked out by
Prime Minister Lothar de Maiziere’s
broad coalition government.
De Maiziere is seeking a definitive
timetable for the merger of the Ger
man states and the dissolution of
economically battered East Ger
many.
Under the agreement, the two
German states will legally become a
single nation Oct. 14. Germans on
both sides are tentatively set to elect
a common government in Decem
ber.
After meeting with the leaders of
other parties in Parliament, de Mai
ziere said lawmakers would convene
Oct. 9 to formalize the unification
date. This was before Schroeder an
nounced his move.
Oct. 9 is the first anniversary of a
large demonstration in Leipzig, East
Germany, ^hich fueled other pro
democracy protests. The demonstra
tions spread across the country,
eventually bringing down the Com
munist regime that had ruled four
decades.
Alluding to the attempt by law
makers to capture the spirit of grass
roots solidarity that toppled the old
regime, de Maiziere said Parliament
will convene under the motto:
“Where we come from, where we
want to go.”
De Maiziere’s conservative Chris
tian Democrats, the nation’s second-
largest party, and the left-leaning
Social Democrats, who abandoned
de Maiziere’s coalition two days ago,
agreed on the October date. Also
agreeing were the former Commu
nists, the third-largest party in Par
liament; and the small Buendnis 90
coalition that includes the intellec
tuals and activists who led last year’s
revolt.
The basic position of the Social
Democrats was that unification
should take place Sept. 15 because of
East Germany’s serious economic
problems.
Christian Democrats in both Ger
man states wanted to keep the date
of unification and elections for a
united Parliament as close together
as possible.
The Social Democrats said this
was because Christian Democrats,
including West German Chancellor
Helmut Kohl, were trying to win the
election before West Germans real
ized the true cost of bailing out East
Germany.
Dec. 2 has been scheduled for
elections for a united Parliament.
Regine Hildebrandt, a Social
Democrat who resigned as labor
minister Tuesday in keeping with
her party’s decision to leave de Mai
ziere’s government, said 25,000 East
Germans are losing their jobs
weekly.
Sirens screamed around the
prime minister’s office Tuesday as
about 1,000 public employees, in
cluding firefighters and ambulance
drivers, rallied outside to demand
better wages. Bus drivers joined in
the rally by parking their vehicles for
an hour.
Airline
announces
cutbacks
ARLINGTON, Va. (AP)-US-
Air will begin firing nearly 1,500
of its probationary employees
across the country effective im
mediately, airline President Seth
E. Schofield said Tuesday.
The cost-cutting move cancels
a planned expansion and growth
program because of a weakening
economy and a lull in the airline
business, said USAir spokeswo
man Susan Young.
Some employees would receive
notices Wedp^sday. a , n d all those
intended to be fired would be out
of work no later than next week,
Young said.
USAir is the third-largest do
mestic airline in terms of the
number of passengers who travel
each day on nearly 3,000 flights.
It has 55,000 employees.
Young said specific cities or de
partments affected by the cuts
were “across the board, in most
departments and in most geo
graphic regions of the country.’’
She said that could mean em
ployees ranging from airport
maintenance workers to secretar
ies hired for a planned growth
who were on the usual six-month
probationary period.
“We deeply regret that this ac
tion is necessary, but these em
ployees were hired in anticipation
of an expansion program that has
been reduced in light of current
economic projections,” Schofield
said.
Young said travel has been flat,
the nation’s economy weakening
and the economic climate for the
next 12 to 24 months does not
look good.
U.S. civilians prepare for war,
demonstrate support for soldiers
WASHINGTON (AP) — In Ala
bama, a bookseller finds a run on at
lases because “people want to know
where it all is.”
In Georgia, a business hands out
little American flags to wave proudly
from car antennas.
Main street America prepares for
war.
Along Interstate 75 in northern
Georgia, gray-green trucks rumble
taking the 101st Airborne from Fort
Campbell, Ky., to Florida ships
bound for the Middle East.
The troops are cheered on their
way by people on overpasses. Ban
ners read: “Get Their Gas and Kick
Their Ass.”
Don Gage of Dalton, Ga., sup
plied a flag, 30 feet by 50 feet.
“Gosh,” he said, “we had to do
something. We want them to know
we care. And I’ll tell you this: We
can’t wait to put it on the north
bound side to welcome them back.”
The mood catches on.
Fourteen inmates at Cross City
Correctional Institution in North
Florida announce they want to fight
in Saudi Arabia and redeem their
honor — and in the process gain
their freedom, like the heroes of
“The Dirty Dozen.”
“We are not just seeking release
from prison,” the inmates say in a
letter.
Bob Macmaster, a spokesman for
the Florida Department of Correc
tions, says the inmates have been
watching too many movies.
There were other signs of a coun
try gearing for war in a far off place:
• Bell County, Texas, waives the
24-hour waiting period for mar
riages of Fort Hood soldiers and is
sues a record 160 licenses last week.
• Seven comedians of the Stand
Up NY Comedy club in New York
City performed on the theme of
“Iraq-Nophobia.”
• Julie Trahan of the Hair Force
barber shop outside South Caroli
na’s Shaw Air Force Base gate, fig
ured her customers were headed for
a warmer climate when they asked
for haircuts “almost to the skin.”
• Country music singer Hank
Williams Jr. put his feelings about
Iraq and its poison gas into a song
that suggested: “Stick it in your sas
safras.”
Everywhere that soldiers leave for
the oven-baked Middle East, there is
a rush to buy sunblock cream. Paul
E. Burke Sr., president of Native
Tan Inc., offers to supply odorless
sunblock at cost.
“I’d hate to see 5,000 of our guys
advancing across the desert toward
the enemy smelling like a coconut,”
he said. “I think they’d be detected.”
Families left behind seek solace.
Eileen Bronko of Naugatuck,
Conn., sister of a Saudi-based sol
dier, led a contingent of 50 people»
tie a ribbon around the town flag
pole. She wants Americans to deco
rate trees with red-white-and-blue
ribbons to show they care about the
troops and not just about oil prices.
Two Alabama fabric stores—one
in Enterprise and another in Dothan
— have given away thousands of
yards of yellow ribbons since troops
from Fort Rucker shipped out last
week.
Greg Wilson of Books & News in
Birmingham set up a special section
with books that deal with the trou
bled region. Sales jumped, especially
of atlases.
“I guess people are concerned,
he said, “that if we’re going to war
we’ll be protecting a monarchy.”
Dean Richards, program director
for the nationwide Satellite Musit
Network, got a call from a fright
ened girl he estimated to be 8 to 1®
years old. She asked that he pla'
“Right Here Waiting for You" by
Richard Marx.
The youngster said “her dadd'
was in the Marines and she was righ)
here waiting for him to come bad
Richards said.
Richards devoted air time all las*
weekend to 500 messages to GI>
along with playing musical request!
The network contacted the Armed
Forces Radio network and arranged
for a tape of the show to be replayed
for troops in the Middle East.
