WE CAN WIN IN VIETNAM
“To win the war, we have to
defeat the enemy.”
These simple words express
the truth. Applied to our pres
ent dilemma in Vietnam, they
point out an undeniable fact:
there will be no end to the con
flict until one side or the other
has won.
Rev. Daniel Lyons, S.J., said
these words over the June 5
Manion Forum broadcast. An
expert on Asian policy and
Vietnam, Father Lyons analyz
ed some of the problems of the
-war, offered several concrete
solutions, and asked a few
pointed questions about U. S.
policy.
“We are not letting the joint
chiefs of Staff make the mili
tary decisions in Vietnam,” sta
ted Father Lyons. “For exam
ple, the Joint Chiefs of Staff
have unanimously decided for
many months that we should
blockade the harbor of North
Vietnam, just as we did when
Japan had the same harbor in
1943. But our diplomats decided
not to do it.
My solution to that would be
to let Premier Ky’s government
drop mines in the harbor. This
would mean that no ship in the
Free World would be able to
get insurance if they used the
harbor and therefore none of
them would go into the har
bor. Russian ships would go in
at great risk. Since Premier
Ky has declared war on Viet
nam, he is perfectly entitled to
mine the harbor. He would have
blockaded it a long time ago
except that we asked him not
to do it.”
Why emphasize the import
ance of the Haiphong harbor
when the Vietnam war is being
fought on so many other vital
fronts? Because most of the
supplies for the Communist
troops enter Vietnam through
that harbor. Ships from Soviet
Russia and the Free World de
liver vital necessities to our en
emy through Haiphong.
But Father Lyons did not
restrict his prescription for
victory to Haiphong. He noted
other flaws in the way we are
managing the war:
“We could have won by es
calating, but the other side
also escalated. We must adopt
a policy of winning, and in or
der to do that we have to block
ade the harbor. We should
knock out the industry in Han
oi, we should knock out the
petroleum depots, the railroads
and then the dikes. This would
unquestionably win the war.
The war could be won in a
matter of months. There is no
military man who will deny
this.
“As Air Force Chief Mc
Connell has said, he has done
everything that he has been
considered resigning his com
mand. He said to his chief of
staff. General Doyle Hickey:
“For the first time in military
history, a commander has been
denied the use of his military
power to safeguard the lives of
his soldiers and the safety of
his army. To me it clearly
foreshadows a future tragic
situation in the Far East and
leaves me with a sense of in
expressible shock.” He con
tinued in command, although,
he later wrote, the Washington
restrictions upon his waging
full war upon the Communist
enemy indicated to him “a loss
of the will to win” by our policy
mekers.
Results in Korea were not
a genuine victory for the U. S.
The Communists, with their
sanctuaries , remained power
ful, arrogant and grasping in
Asia. The General's words
(above) appear now to have
been prophetic: ”... a future
tragic situation in the Far
East.” The enemy in Vietnam
today should not be granted
sanctuaries, "t is a policy with
out provable justification,
asked to do and he can do any
thing that he may be asked to
do. What he is trying to say

is announced
Mr. and Mrs. Gene Edwards
of Atlanta, Georgia announce
the marriage of their daughter,
Cynthia Anne Jordan to Kerry
Lamar Epting, sdn of Mr. and
Mrs. Ralph L. Epting of Pros
perity, S. C.. The ceremony took
place in Cartersville, Georgia on
January 5, 1966. The couple
are residing in Rome, Georgia,
where Mr. Epting is a rising
senior at Berry College and
Mrs. Epting is on the faculty
of the Rome city schools.
is “Why don’t you let me win
the war ? ”
That is a tragic question to be
asked while American boys are
fighting and dying in a far-off
land. Why, indeed, don’t we let
the military win the war, so
we can end it honorably and
bring the boys home ?

Do you have any right to be
driving a motor vehicle ?
The State Highway Depart
ment said today that patrolmen
stop many drivers who have
either never had driver’s lic
enses or were driving while
their licenses were suspended.
Such actions, of course, are in
violation of state law and per
sons caught by the Patrolman
or other law enforcement offi
cers will have to suffer the
consequences, which can be a
$100 fine and 30 days impris
onment, officials explained.
Here in South Carolina, rec
ords of the Highway Patrol
show that more than one-third
of 15,332 motorists stopped for
inspection were found to be in
violation of the driver’s license
law. There were 5,815 drivers
operating their vehicles illeg
ally on the state’s roads. Hav
ing no driver’s license in their
possession were 2,120. Charged
with having no driver’s license
were 3,216. Those driving while
under suspension came to 459.
A recent study in a western
state revealed that of 70 mot
orists who were unable to pro
duce a license when stopped at
a road block, 44 had no legal
right to be driving
Changeover from paper driv
er licenses to the new plastic
laminated card type licenses
which bear color photographs of
the licensees is expected to im
prove this situation. For one
thing, drivers will be less prone
to borrow licenses since photo
graphs make identification a
simple matter for patrolmen.
Although there are thous
ands of paper licenses still in
the hands of South Carolina
drivers, this is being gradually
cut down as old licenses expire
and new plastic ones are issued.
Persons applying for a new
license must obtain the new
model at a fee of $2, which
covers the cost of the examina
tion.
Final changeover is expected
to occur in June of 1969 when
all paper licenses will run out.
