VOL. LIV
Lowenstein
Questions
Policies
"When the country is at a
turning point, those who are
not part of the solutions are
part of the problem." According
ly, Rep. Allard Lowenstein CD
NY), in a speech last Monday
night in Dana Auditorium, lashed
at the "lunacy" of the Nixon
Administration's policies and the
"duplicity" of the President's
relations to the citizens of this
country.
Lowenstein raised again the
question of priorities: "Last
year the military budget of
this country was s9l billion,
while Congress was just able
to allot $1.9 billion for the
poverty program.
Yet," he complained, "Nixon
has convinced the 'silent ma
jority' that inflation has come
from government spending for the
poor and the black communities."
MILITARY INFLATION
The New York Congressman
called it lunacy to continue to
waste funds on military pro
grams which won't work." The
$8 billion which the government
is spending on a project which
most scientists believe will
not work could buy 200,000 hos
pital beds, 10,000 new school
buildings; it could have doubled
the expenditure for air pollu
tion control and for cancer re
search."
You can't spend 2/3 of the
budget for military gadgets which
won't work without causing in
flation."
Another waste cited by Lowen
stein was the complex of 3,427
military bases maintained over
seas. "We in Congress thought
it would be reasonable to close
some of those bases—the four
in Spain. We never questioned
that Franco was a bastion of
freedom, but the Pentagon views
those bases as necessary to
the security of the entire free
world. Apparently Spain is in
danger of attack by Algerian
hordes."
DINNER IN MISS.
Lowenstein deplored the use
of military funds to convince the
public and iheL- representatives
of the necessity of further mili
tary spending. He quoted $40,000
as the price tag of public planes
used to transport Congressmen
and Senators to Jackson, Mis
sissippi for a dinner.
Lowenstein accused the Nixon
Administration of duplicity and
concealment in regards to the
Vietnam War.
"We are," according to
Lowenstein, "escalating the war,
and it is duplicity for the pres
ident to tell the American people
that we are withdrawing when,
in fact, we are building up
forces in Laos."
40,000 TROOPS
"No one," continued the
Democrat, "believes in the pro
gram of Vietnamesation except
the silent majority. Even Sec
retary of Defense Laird says
that we will have to keep 40,000
troops—the level now in Korea—
to maintain bases. Free elec
tions are precluded when this
