Local County Groups
Rally Behind Nixon
A packed East Rockaway
American Legion Hall was the
scene of a rally in supi^rt of
President Nixon's policies in
Vietnam last Thursday evening.
The rally, sponsored jointly by
the Nassau County Young
Americans for Freedom and the
local South Nassau YAF Chapter,
was designed to show support for
the actions taken by the Nixon
administration in answer to the
recent North Vietnamese
aggression in South Vietnam.
The guest speaker, Mr. Ron
Wishart (recently returned from
Vietnam), the New Jersey
Coordinator of the Vietnam
Veterans for a Just Peace, stated
that the President should make
foreign policy not the leading
Presidential contenders. "When
you have people like them," he
continued, "jumping for joy over
defeats ... I'd call that treason."
Wishart was followed by Mr.
Walter Kouch from the National
Student Coordinating Committee
for Freedom in Vietnam.
Chris Braunlich, moderator of
the program, urged the audience
to send telegrams to President
Nixon showing their support.
Edward J. Martin, a local YAF
leader, stated "We in YAF feel
that the President was right in
bombing North Vietnam in
response to their naked
aggression of the South.
Americans should open their eyes
and see that North Vietnam has
no real desire for peace in
Southeast Asia. It is North
Vietnam, through their continued
aggression, who is keeping the
war going."
A plea was issued for local
residents to help YAF's cam-paign
in support of the ad-ministration's
policies by sending
donations to Young Americans
for Freedom - 22 Lenox Avenue,
Lynbrook, N.Y. 11563.
