Angry housewife Stuttgart Germany editor s note discuss ing commissaries and Exchange stores in the Sam Frame of reference is like talk ing about apples and oranges inthe same breath because they do not operate in the Safeway. The commissaries run with appropriated funds Money appropriated by Congress employ Only local nationals in specific jobs which Are set by agreement Between Bonn and the United cannot be regularly employed in these position established for germans since Congress voted the Money specifically to pay these employees. Thus other than the commis sary officer and perhaps Sev eral cos the Only american working directly for the commissary Are bag boys who prepaid by the tips they pick of. Yes a fun Agency that is operating through its own earnings an not with . Taxpayers Money from Congress employs Bot local nationals and americans who Are predominately dependents. In both cases however Ger mans working for the . Forces Are employed under Ger Man Laws which stipulate the National holidays Here As . Laws set the National holi Days such As july 4, etc., Backhoe. In addition certain religious and state holidays Are written into the separate agreement with the German ministry of labor just As they Are put i contracts Between .

Holidays but in some areas where they have enough Amer ican employees to operate the Exchange area commander May decide to pm a it open according to Exchange serv a officials in Nuernberg wrong path this is directed to the minor to of the students who Are making All the noise and Trou ble today. The ends toward which you Are working Are great they Are causes for which Mankind has sought and fought since the beginning of time peace Equality and Freedom. But you cannot achieve these ends bythe path you Are following the path of the marxist Leninist people s revolution. Has t it dawned on you that communism and its child socialism is the biggest and most cruel farce Ever played on the human race the Only Freedom you enjoy under the marxist Leninist sys tem is Freedom from , the workers Are secure secure from Freedom. I you were in such a workers Paradise and tried to demonstrate for or against the state you would find yourself being charged As a counter revolutionist a revisionist Anda Lackey of the fascist capitalist Wall Street War mongers. Your crime would be nonconformity with the inter ests of the working people a crime punishable by death. You the leaders and pro lectors of tomorrow s world protest every action of our country in Southeast Asia and support the very people who Are killing our friends and fellow americans. You Are right you say because America is wrong wrong wrong to support our allies wrong to Back our promises with action wrong to pre vent the mass murder of South vietnamese remember the government of South Vietnam requested american Aid an this Aid was asked for before we entered the country not after As we have seen happen in Czechoslovakia recently. You say you could not bring yourself to kill another Man for your country because of con science or belief. Are you against War because of death destruction or the waste it causes but rather because you Are too Small to accept your responsibility As a citizen you want everything your country offers but refuse to give any thing in return. You claim Juk for your hero but refuse to abide by his words ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your since you throw fire bombast police and charge the rifles and bayonets of the National guard so you can t be cow Ards. If you must fight Why no fight for your country instead of against it you claim to be an intellectual but you close your mind. You say you Are a Liberal but Only Liberal toward those who believe As you. You want every one to listen to you but refuse to listen to anyone else. You refuse to obey the Laws and demand total respect for you rights but show Complete Dis respect for the rights of talk of Freedom of speech yet disrupt and break up peace Ful and orderly meetings of those who would practice free Dom of speech. There is so much Good an Beauty in the world and it is yours for the taking. Yes theban things Are also there but by seeking and learning in Stead of refusing and destroy ing you can achieve you rends. ,. Two Harry l. Connors Jan eur Ulm Germany Dachau trial i find it hard to believe you rendition of the prisoner assault Case Dachau army guar found innocents a Jan. 11 could possibly be True i Bow could a court of Justice find a guard innocent of Mal treatment when he himself testified the 10 prisoners were roughed up to prevent an trouble from them i d be ready to Wager no one on that court martial Board has Ever been struck a couple of time with a lightweight plastic Hose or they might realize what vicious weapon it can be. It seems few people were Wil Ling to Overlook the brutalities of Many nazis who were also under and i must ask since when is it Legal or moral to punish men before they commit the crime according to Webster the first definition of guard is to keep Safe from harm watch Overand protect defend your Story of the trials Correct and this is an exam ple of military Justice i not Only do not mind saying but find it my duty to say it liter ally turns my stomach. Spec. 4 Terrence d. Boyle Schwa Ebisch Hall Germany your article on sgt. Wesley. Williams trial caused me so much concern that i decided tomake my feelings Public. When the Crew of the us Pueblo related the tales of How they were beaten with wooden clubs the people in the states and the rest of the free world listened in horror. If the people of the . Hear of the Willia Scase and they probably won t because it won t receive the coverage it deserves they should be enraged that such atrocities occur in our military prisons. That we condemn the North koreans while our Mili tary courts condone the same acts is pure hypocrisy. The Only difference Between a wooden club and a lightweight plastic Hose is that a Hose leaves no Mark How Clever. What kind of example do West for other nations if the . Can permit such atrocities to occur in our military institutions and be condoned in our system of military Justice. It is an outrage that in 1969 a sys tem of Justice so totally contrary to our Way of life can exist in our military services. At the present time a Man Canso drafted into the armed forces and because of simple or Gross inefficiency which in civilian life would cause him to be fired he can be incarcerated and if the decision in the Wil Liams Case is to stand be beaten at the whims of his captors. The defense attorney based his Case on the fact that Wil Liams was Only obeying similar defense was offered by the defendants at the Fame Nuernberg trials but the verdicts were different. The Williams Case is merely another example that the uni form code of military Justice should be scrapped or at least seriously reappraised. Any sys tem of Justice in which the judges Are appointed and arc subjected to influence of per sons senior to them offers no Justice. In such circumstances the judges find it difficult today the least to reach decisions they know would be unfavourable to their seniors and thereby jeopardizing their career. It is indeed regrettable that upon entering military service to defend the freedoms we enjoy in the United states of America one is forced to re Linquish so Many of those free Doms. The . Should rebuilds system of military Justice to the Point that it equals being part of the freest nation in the Justice Schwabach Germany entitled to belief i agree with Ronald Rycroft is Jan. 17 that a person is entitled to his own belief Chris Tian jewish or whatever he May be but How Many of theses called conscientious objectors become objectors Only after receiving draft notices there Are those who claim Tobe objectors on religious grounds who refuse to serve our country in any status but there Are also those who have Distin fished themselves in non com at jobs. I believe the latter refused to being gun carriers but did t refuse to serve in other capacities. I Don t know where Rycroft got the idea to have a Board composed of clergymen and educators decide if an objector 3 request is valid or not but he must be kidding. Some of our so called clergymen and Hotshot educators Are in a world of their own. Need i say More s. Sgt. F. D. Carroll Ankara Turkey european edition it. Col. F. 8.
