You might like to hear that apparently not everyone is dissatisfied with your publication. I work at 51st Cash and buy my paper every morning from the vending machine in the main lobby. While waiting for the elevator i usually see a number of Ped pie also depositing their 50 cents in the machine. A a a a v y. Y frequently these people will take two or sometimes three newspapers probably for the rest of the office. Apparently they like the stars and stripes so much that they cannot get enough of it. These Are the same people who would be outraged if their child shoplifted a 50cent Candy bar from the Post Exchange. Theft is the it a even if it is Only a newspaper. It May seem like. A Small thing but the example is still the same. Isnit self respect Worth More than 50 cents by. A a Kathleen Clair Frankfurt Germany a. A. A a a a free and for Hale group the article a Oneo nazi hate Sheet slipped into copies of a amp so May 3 was offensive and disturbing. It was offensive because the Point could have been made quite effectively without including the front Page of the pseudo newspaper that was illegally inserted into the paper in Baum older Germany. By printing the Page you in effect gave this organization free publicity. Did you charge them a fee for Adver Tising i do not understand Why editors Felt that the Story needed to incorporate this. A. A \ the article was disturbing because it stated there would not be a formal investigation because it was apparently an isolated incident. Is this the equivalent of burying our Heads in the Sand it does no to matter what hate group is targeting a group of service members family Mem Bers or civilians the individuals perpetrating this have to be dealt with in a firm .manner.�?T, a a a a _ y. Not Only should a formal investigation be conducted the individuals involved should be sought and dealt with in the most severe manner possible. If this is allowed to exist anywhere in our Community it will Lead us Back into the Era of racial divisiveness that we be worked so hard to eradicate in our army. A Julius w. Becton Iii Mainz Germany a a \ y nobody helped jews in response to columnist . Rosen thales version of the holocaust May 3without the help of the rest of the european countries the extent that the holocaust was would never have been. At first Adolf Hitler Only wanted the jews to leave Germany which i consider criminal Mitsel urbut it would have saved millions of jewish lives however no country wanted them not England America or France. The rest of the european countries did not move a Finger to help the jews1 just the contrary was the Case. The poles hungarians the Baltic states romanians bulgarians russians a you name it they All helped the nazis to Complete the holocaust the Allied bombers flew Day and night Over our Heads in the direction of Krakow Katowice upper Silesia. Auschwitz death Camp in Poland was very near these areas. It has been documented that the allies were in the Possession of very Clear and detailed Aerial pictures which outlined the concentration Camps in that area the Gas Chambers the ramps Etc. Why did they bomb everything else in that area but not the Railroad tracks that led to Auschwitz Why done to the jews loudly raise these questions is it because it is so much easier just to blame the germans alone thereby silencing the historical truth or Are they afraid of becoming too unpopular among the other european countries i ask the question. I am quite doubtful that you will print this letter but i wanted to set the record straight and bring out some facts that the jews do not like to acknowledge.

Rep. Charles Schumer d-n.y., sponsor of the assault weapons Bill said the vote showed that with some hard work and refusal to flinch in the face of opposition a we can sometimes overcome the special  it remains to be seen whether Clinton can work similar miracles on other contentious issues the biggest being health care Reform. Underlining just How Tough that fights going to be two prominent democratic senators Bob Kerrey and David Boren last week declared their support for Ai Republican health Reform plan. Nonetheless Schumer said thursdays win a helps his reputation and his standing As it Well  Schumer said he called Clinton two weeks ago and told him his Bill was headed for defeat without a big push from the White House Clinton readily agreed despite the political risks. A the said head do it because he thought it was the right thing to do Quot Schumer said. In the past weeks Clinton has spent hours on the phone to wavering lawmakers spending up to 30 minutes a Call in the struggle to change minds and win votes. It paid off. Up to 20 votes Short Only Days before the vote a jubilant Clinton on thursday celebrated another breathtakingly close Victory. Supporters of the ban he said afterwards had a demonstrated extraordinary courage in the face of extraordinary political pressure to walk  they also added to Clinton a reputation As a president with a Knack of winning the big ones if by the most harrowing margins. Last August after another frenetic White House lobbying Effort the House approved the administrations deficit reduction package by a 218-216 vote. The House followed by approving the plan 5150 on a tie breaking vote by vice president Al Gore. In november Clinton again came from Well behind in the final weeks to capture a 234-200 vote in the House approving the North american free Trade agreement.
