THE M ANION FORUM By MARILYN MANION PROLONGING TFTE WAR Last month’s “peace” dem onstration will, among other things, provide propaganda for the ( ommunists in North Viet Nam. Reports and photos of such rallies will serve as “proof ” that the majority of Americ ans don't want to fight the Reds. Such “evidence” is contrived to convince our enemy that it should continue fighting: After all, it will only he a matter of time if the V. S. population is dead set against winning the war. Rut it isn’t necessary to hi propagandized in such manner in order to wonder if the 1 T . S. really 1>(>KS want victory in Viet Nam. The way we are fighting the war itself moves one to wonder. The editor of The Fort Lau derdale News, Jack Gore, ad dressed himself to this subject over the Manion Forum radio program. Said he: "Senator Stuart Symington of Missouri recently charged that it would he far better for our country to terminate hos tilities in Vietnam than to con tinue the war under current Pentagon regulations. He quot ed from a number of letters he had received from our fight ing men. “One pilot, for instance wrote of flying over an air base in North Vietnam where dozens of enemy jet fighters were strung out over the runways. These planes could have been quickly and easily destroyed, but our pilots are under re strictions not to attack enemy faster and more maneuverable than our craft, our pilots are at a disadvantage. “Other pilots have pointed out additional restrictions to the Senator. Every day these pilots see vast quantities of weapons and supplies being un loaded from Russian ships in the harbor of Haiphong, des tined for use against our forces. “But these weapons and sup- plies cannot be destroyed at their source. Our men must wait until the ships are un loaded, the weapons and sup plies on t-ucks, and then, once the trucks have cleared the restricted area, we can go af ter them on a piecemeal basis. “We’ve now had over 5,000 of our fighting men killed in Vietnam, and still we refrain from knocking out our enemy’s ability to keep on killing. “There is no such thing as a merciful kind of war. War has always bet n a helish and a dirty business and we don’t make it any less so by stretch ing it out over a longer period because we don’t want to em ploy sufficient force to bring it to a military, rather than a polital victory? To graduate at King college Walter William King of this m'ty will be a candidate for the legree of Bachelor of Arts at the 1%7 graduation exercises of King College on May 15.

The commencement address on May 15 will be delivered by Dr. William L. Pressly, President T the Westminster Schools of \tlanta, Ga. Bootstraps and Boundaries Expansion of government at the federal level has placed a clear and compelling challenge at the feet of the states. We must answer a basic question: How can we best use congress- ionally-passed aid programs without jeopardizing the sig nificance of the state in our system of government? An exciting approach to this problem is the new Coastal Plains Development program which we are beginning to im plement in South Carolina. The program involves 159 counties in three states—South Caroli na, North Carolina and Geor gia. Plans are underway to measure the economic poten tial of this geographical area, and to reach that potential through a massive effort of coordination. The Coastal Plains project is basically a “bootstrap” op eration which crosses “bound aries” by virtue of regional ac tion. What we hope to accom plish is a substantial increase in per capita income for the affected counties. Economic experts cell us that success in the coastal regions of our sis ter states will spill over into our state. At the same time, economic development of one portion of a state enriches the economy of all other sections. This prospect is particularly exciting because more than half of the counties in South Caro lina have been put into the During his senior year at King, Mr. King was president of his residence hall, a member of the Honor Court, and was one of the five seniors chosen to represent the college in the current issue of “Who’s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities”. He has majored in history, and plans to enter Union Theolog ical Seminary in Richmond in the fall. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. King of 1220 Kinard street, Newberry. program. Control of the program is largely in local hands, and the burden of initiatiave is square ly up to the states. Each local community can benefit from the various studies that will be made, according to the initia tive shown. We believe that the new Coastal Plains program is go ing to aid many people in many ways. The seafood industry, shipping, coastal agriculture, and travel-oriented industries promise rich rewards. In ad dition, we have an opportunity to prove that with a little help our capacity for growth and better government can be developed by “local people.” T|C ROSS D.
