It was a return comment up grading Nixon. Someone had called Nixon a racist and i wish i would have had the Opportunity to read that letter. But i would like to say Nixon is doing a Fine Job along with most of the political leaders. Sure Here we Are with water Gate and now we re supplying War material to another country that s at War. Open your eyes you War Wor shippers. We re spending billions of dollars a year on defense of our country plus half the world while people Are starving in our own country. We have retarded children and adults living in sub Standard medical Homes along with the crippled and Blind and homeless that need help. Medical help is so expensive most people can t afford it. Yes then we have the Black Brown yellow red White ghettos people who can t afford to live elsewhere. Then of course our Environ ment if we still have one. Was t much left when i went away Oil Slicks Forest fires crop destruction Energy shortage food Short age air pollution and water pollution. The sap of the Earth is waning. But that s not All population growth along with City growth destroying the country. Yes what a Good Job we americans Are doing supplying other countries with weapons to de stroy each other plus sending 50,000 Young american men to their death in the last War. How Many shall we kill this time what a Way to prevent popu lation growth keep up the Good work Amer Ica maybe we can survive another 50 or 60 years maybe what a Happy Joyful life bless the beasts and the Chil Dren. John j. Delillo Wiesbaden Germany no answer to suggestions after two unanswered letters to yes i am turning to the stars and stripes for help. Around 17 aug., i wrote a suggestion in the Neu Bruecke pm and around 6 sept. I did the same in Baumholz Der. To Date i have not received any comments from yes. The problem i have is purchasing slide trays for the Kodak Carousel. Yes does carry the 80-slide tray but for the Small Price of $3.95 each. Well i just ordered and received some Kodak trays from Montgomery Ward in the states. I la bet you cannot guess what the Price was it was $2.47 each. But these trays Are made in the Usa and the trays sold in our yes stores Are made in Germany. The question i asked yes and which i wish you could ask them is Why can t they get their supplies from the states and pass on the extra savings to the Mili tary also ask them Why they cannot answer suggestions or comments put in the boxes in the yes store. Yes i did put my Mil itary and Economy address and phone number on the forms. Capt. Kenneth l. Sack Neu Bruecke Germany editor s note James r. Williams director yes merchandising division said the German Kodak Carousel slide tray was an exceptional buy when yes originally began purchasing it but with the devaluation of the Dollar and the float ing of the Deutsche Mark the Henry Kissinger is the Day approaching when Secretary of state Henry Kissin Ger realizes the perils that face his career or should i say Ca Reers. In the right administration this is the right time or. Kis Singer was the Man who could have brought an importance and effectiveness to the Job that has lessened in status since the Days of Secretary of state Thomas Jef Ferson. Can the Man once referred to As a modern Day Mach Iavelli be finished in his role remember to fellow members of the silent majority just remember one thing while you re sitting there drinking your Coffee Richard m. Nixon did not put this country in the situation it is in now we did. We of the proud silent majority who talk of How terrible the political system has become. What Are you doing to help remedy the situation Why not write your congressman and Tell him How you feel. That eleven cent airmail stamp will not break you speak up America needs you. Jill m. Holston nauheim Germany reminder All letters to the editor must con Tain full name and address of the writer and must be signed. Writers Are encouraged to include phone number and Economy address especially if they desire a fast reply. His greatest As world states Man what about his career As a highly respected scholar will his colleagues accept a Man whose judgment close association with the Nixon administration might be questionable at Best oddly enough the Only role he might Salvage is one which most believed he could remain above the politician. Of course the Days of come will no doubt see the american people rejecting personalities in the nature of Richard Nixon. This no doubt will cast a spell on any political aspirations of or. Kissin Ger. At least there is no Consoli Aton is knowing that the current Secretary of state s Fate will be shared by a Man who is willing to sacrifice Twenty five years As a highly respected legislator. This Man is giving it All up for the desk and office of the Man whose legacy will be a construction worker s helmet equipped with a decal of old glory a poster of an american with a gag Over his Mouth and a pile of still soldering american news papers. Maybe those reported ufos will bring us a Leader in Stead of asking to see one. Frederick a. Baker Giessen Germany reference the article on or. Kissinger and be due Tho win Ning the Nobel peace prize How disgusting and. What peace Joseph m. Cozz Vicenza Italy Price has doubled. Therefore As on Many other items we have converted procurement to the american made Carousel tray and expect it to be available in yes stores in january. We apologize for the fact that you did not receive an answer to your complaint suggestion forms. Every Effort possible is made to answer these forms and other complaints quickly but unfortunately these seem to have been delayed or misplaced.

Dial a comment reduces paperwork and will get you an answer  answers i have attempted to get an answer to this question but no one has been Able to Supply an answer. Perhaps you could pass it on to the right people who Are in the know. I have a 1973 Olds which is equipped with All the emission control system. The manual Indi Cates use an unleaded or Low Lead fuel of approximately 91 re search octane number or High  in the yes or Esso stations which of the two Avail Able choices Normal or super Are closer to this requirement chaplain maj Waldron h. Rosheim Ansbach Germany editor s note it. Col. T. M. O Shaughnessy director services division yes said we have been informed by a representative of general motors Headquarters in Wiesbaden that the customer can use regular Grade gasoline in his 1973 Olds in lieu of the Low Lead 91 octane fuel. As a matter of information the Federal Republic of Germany has established standards for gasoline octane ratings with Reg ular Normal fuel having a rat ing of 91-92 and super gasoline rated at 98-99. Customers can be assured that All gasoline they Purchase through the Coupon system in Germany meets these Industry standards and can thus select the Grade of gasoline in re lation to the octane rating that is recommended in their car instruction  Art Buchwald Washington the mail has been very heavy from read ers in the past few weeks and i feel obligated to answer some of the questions that keep popping up in my letters. Q. Do you think president Nixon was wrong in turning Over Only seven of the nine tapes he promised to judge Sirica a. No i Don t. Nobody s perfect and while the Media have been very critical of the presi Dent s failure to produce the two missing tapes no one has Given him credit for the seven he turned Over. I think we should emphasize the Good things the president has been doing and not the bad things. Q. Why did the president fire special prosecutor Archibald Cox a. Because Cox would t Stop wearing Bow ties. The president hates Bow ties and on several occasions he asked Cox to Wear a regular tie like everyone else in the administration. Cox refused and Nixon had no Choice but to get rid of him. It s impossible for a president to run a country when his own special prosecutor refuses to obey a direct order concerning his neckwear. Q. Why does the president go to Camp David every night a. Because he can t get any sleep at the White House. People stand in front of 1600 Pennsylva. Nia Avenue with signs saying honk if you think Nixon should be impeached and the noise is deafening. The Best solution would be if they held up signs saying honk if you be Lieve  then Washington would become the quietest City in the country. Q. Who Are the 27 percent of the american people in the Gal Lup poll who still think Nixon is doing a Good Job As president a. Julie and David Eisen Hower Tricia Cox Bebe Rebozo Robert Abplanalp Gen. Alexan Der Haig Ron Ziegler and the entire Board of directors of itt. Q. Why Are the press and to so mean to Nixon a. They be been mad at him Ever since 1962 when he told them they would not have Nixon to kick around anymore. The press never forgets and everything you be been Reading about watergate is nothing but the Media s Way of proving they can kick around Nixon any time they want to. Q. Who was Spiro Agnew a. He was a former vice presi Dent of the United states who served during the Nixon administration until he got into some difficulty Over his income taxes. While he has been completely forgotten a few old timers re member him As being rather tall and a neat Dresser. Q. The Constitution provides that a president can be impeached for High crimes and misdemeanours. What Are they a. A High crime would be accepting a Large political contribution from the milk producers in Exchange for raising the milk support prices. A Misdemeanour could be impounding funds so schoolchildren could not get any of this milk free. Q. Has Nixon s personal enemy list gotten any longer since his recent troubles a. Would you believe the Washington Maryland and Vir Ginia Telephone books q. If the president resigns How much of the $10 million he spent on improving his Homes in san Clemente and key Biscayne will be returned to the govern ment a. According to his accountants about $34.75. Q. No president has been under so much criticism and pressure in history. Is Nixon hurting because of it a. Only when he laughs.
