European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 11, 1977, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 14 the stars and stripes sunday september 11, 1977 letters to the editor non smoking fanatic complains Poppycock and cover-ups1 i was flabbergasted at the recent letter i read about smokers being discriminate against. If putting smoke in the Back of first class plane compartments is discrimination then let discrimination of this sort abound and flourish. You May be paying customers but Are you paying to pollute the air non smokers breathe and what Are non smokers paying for to breathe smoke you create let s not be selfish or narrow minded. Doctors have determined that smoking is dangerous to your health. In Case you did t realize it the message being enforced nowadays is Stop smoking. It s a Good end for which to work. Let All the Means necessary be implemented to achieve that ends. What is wrong with imposing a Good will on people who exercise an evil one. May cigarette costs triple May segregation of the sort mentioned continue May ads against this smoking evil blast it to hell and May All Means available be launched to annihilate smoke and cigarettes from the face of our Earth. Non smoker rights i would like to reply to the letter smok ers have had to suffer that was published recently in the stars and stripes. I feel non smokers have rights too. I have just As much right not to smell and in Hale smoke just As much As you have the right to smoke. So what is the answer smoking and non smoking sections seem to be the Best solution for now anyway. Non smoking sections in the dining Hall Are there because some people including myself Don t like to have people smoke at the same table they Are eating at. I am not trying to appear Superior or insulting i just Don t like the smell of cigarettes especially while i am eating. The smoke is not very conducive to Good eating either. Irene b. Snow Raf Ben Waters Suffolk England it is not wrong for us non smokers to see to it that you Are deprived of something you enjoy. It s just that what you enjoy is wrong. Cof course ads against smoking continue and cigarette advertising has been stopped. How else should smoking be smothered the idea is to get people to quit smoking and not buy them. Yes our eyes and noses Are sensitive to smoke and Why should we be confined to the oxygen mask s discomfort you Are polluting the air and should be held responsible for eliminating your own filth from the air. In conclusion there exists no human right to enjoy a bad habit. No Constitution Al human right should defend any evil such As smoking. Some people must be taught with Force that an evil practice is wrong and to quit. The War against smoking is a Good example of this. Brain Green Bamberg Germany what May i ask is happening with today s Media i can t bring myself to believe that the Media is publishing a lot of political poppy cock and cover without blinking an Eye. Is the american government so afraid of ramifications through the world Trade Market that the american news Media passes on a lot of garbage and superficial cover being issued by the Bonn government without raising a questioning Eyebrow has the Long respected police Agency Interpol been bought by Strong voices in South America Here Are the facts and you and the readers of the stars an stripes should this article be published can decide for yourself. Headlines on the escape and the Harbor ing of Herbert Kappler started the whole sequence of events. To this headline i wrote a letter to the editor of the stars and stripes which the editor was kind enough to publish even though it was edited in a few places which allowed me to air my grievances with the current political trend. The Day after the Kappler headlines Bonn disclosed yet another Story giving the disposition of the so called Bormann re Mains. Coincidence is it coincidence since 1. The body of Martin Bormann was first searched for in an elaborate fashion in 1965 based upon the eyewitness account reputable that Martin Bormann was seen lying dead in the Street in Berlin in May 1945. Nothing was found at that time. 2. Skeletal remains were found in no vember 1972 by Accident by a construction Crew who were supposed to be working two blocks away in exactly the same spot that the elaborate 1965 diggings were conducted. 3. Three different skulls one picture of reminder a letters to the editor must contain full printed name and address of the writer and must be signed. Governor Brown s Motley Crew by Doug Willis Sacramento Calif. A occupation Buddhist priest. Employer state of California office of the governor. Occupation astronaut. Duties adviser to California gov. Edmund Brownjr. Occupation former assistant film director. Job Secretary to Brown s Cabinet. When Brown was campaigning for governor in 1974, he prom ised to bring new people and different ideas into state govern ment. After the election the 39-year-old Democrat appointed mostly people with traditional backgrounds attorneys career civil servants former legislators business executives. But a few of the Circle around Brown lived up to his Promise. Indeed they probably would t be found working in any other state Brian Victoria who directs the governor s intern pro Gram. He has a degree in Buddhist social ethics and says he was ordained in Japan As a Buddhist priest before he was de ported for Antiwar activism. Asked if he thought it strange that a Buddhist priest is work ing in state government Victoria replied with a slight smile some people find it hard to believe Jerry Brown is in the system but Brown is very much in the system. Even critics who can t stand his politics often Admire his tactical abilities in the world of Power deals compromises and posturing. And one of Brown s favorite ploys is to surround himself witha Host of different voices tugging him politically this Way and that. With one hand hell have Victoria running his intern pro Gram. With the other he will have a conservative Republican Vietnam Veteran who lost an Arm and leg in the War lobbying for him in the legislature. Then there s Rusty Schweickart the Apollo 9 astronaut who was the first Man to walk in space free of a space the lanky red headed Schweickart on loan from the National aeronautics and space administration practices meditation and works As an adviser to Brown and his Cabinet members on space Energy and related technologies. Across the Hail from Schweickart is Jacques Barzaghi French born former actor former assistant film director former sea navigator connoisseur of the arts. He is Secretary to the governor s Cabinet and special assistant to of Brown s top troubleshooters is Leroy Chatfield a former Christian Brown troubleshooter is Ray Procunier an earthy Tough talking former prison guard who worked his Way up to chief of California s prison system under former gov. Ronald Reagan. Procunier is now Deputy director of the department of health the Agency Brown has labelled As most in need of a Shak ing up. He says his Lack of background in the health Field is an asset in shaking up the from time to time Brown hires Stewart Brand creator of the whole Earth Catalon As a year Brand organized Brown s whale Day Celebration. More recently he teamed up with Schweickart to stage space Day Brown s Celebration of California s role in the space Impact of these aides on state government is hard to assess. In most cases it can be measured Only in the ideas that Brown adopts from them. Barzaghi has been a major influence in developing the $12million California conservation corps which is hiring youths for outdoor work projects. Brand and Schweickart played Large part in interesting Brown in space and solar Energy. Asked to describe Schweickart s Job recently Brown told a interviewer ideas. He knows a lot of people and has a lot of ideas. He understands technology. He s a each appeared in three separate publications the London daily express Stern and Der Spiegel magazines and were All three verified to be that of Martin Bor Mann and verified by the Bonn govern ment. Incidentally this transpired after other documentation was appearing in the world Media that Martin Bormann was alive in South America and documentation was presented to Bear witness to the fact. 4. The skeletal remains were offered to the Bormann family and flatly refused in june 1974. Why did Bonn wait More than three years to publish a Story about the so called Bormann remains and their disposition if not for a very opportune moment. Call it coincidence i Don to the Day after the protesting letter to the editor appeared on Kappler another Story broke on . It seems that a former nazi is officer died in a Paraguay Hospi Tal. The individual s name Eduar Roschmann the Butcher of now i m not claiming to be a historian by any Means but history from this Era just happens to be a Hobby of mine. I be exhausted All my private references on the subject and i cannot find a single mention of Roschmann s name. Also As far As my references indicate the nickname of Butcher of Riga was Given to Hubert Cukurs who lived in Sao Paulo Brazil using his own name until his assassination murder in february 1965 by the faction calling themselves those who cannot maybe Interpol is confirming the death of the Butcher of Riga jr.?" Why the cover by respectable Agen cies is All of this fancy political footwork being performed just to overshadow the Kappler Case personally i Don t believe he s Worth the trouble . Robert l.
