Legacy of Undeclared War
A self -study by veterans at South
em Illinois University reveals some
interestinff data on the more than
six million veterans of the Vietnam
era and among some 2yi million
served in Indo-Ghina,
These veterans are reported to be
probably the most capable and highly
educated generation in history and
held powerful latent motivation to
contribute to the rebuilding of Amer
ica. Yet, our society sees them as
dregs and droupouts, dehumanised
killers and drug addicts, or pitiful
victims of a hated war to be avoided
or shunned. While returning P.O.W.'s
have been cheered and doted upon,
there is a growing feeling that other
veterans have been patronized and
neglected.
Despite the Administration reports
that much more is being done for
Veterans than ever before, critics,
including veterans, see their plight
growing worse and worse each day.
In listing specific categories by their
own account, the plight of Vietnam
era veterans has been conspicuous in
a number of ways.
Employment Finding a job has be
come all but impossible for many
veterans who could not avoid the
draft because they were poor and un
educated. The Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics points out that last year 808,
000 Vietnam-era veterans could not
find work. With the various budget
eats the growing unemployment is
getting even worse;
Education Veterans of G. 1 Bill
Stipends today cannot begin to cover
the cost of a higher education. World
War II veterans had his or her full
tuition paid and also received $75 a
month living allowance Today's
.ingle veterans must make do
fa
mg him to the least expensive public
colleges. When you consider that
Boost tuition costs run well into thou
sands, one ean see the total limita
tion for higher education. Another
gripe is the lateness of receiving the
funds along with the inadequacy with
today's rising costs.
Drug Rehabilitation Senator Al
lan Cranston has estimated that
there are at least 100,000 addicted
veterans, although the exact number
may never be known. Many picked up
the habit in service. Veterans receiv
ing less than honorable discharges
for drug related offenses have bean
generally barred from treatment
(Recent legislation will help).
Military Discharges Daring the
Vietnam War, more than 178,000
servicemen received undesirable, bad
conduct and dishonorable discharges,
not infrequently only on the basis of
only a commanders' administrative
hearing. They have been denied medi- 0TJEDAND MORE
sal and educational benefits and with
the tad paper" stigma, these vete
rans are the last to be hired and the
first fired in the tight labor marknt
Borne say "they can only become
either welfare cases or stick-up
Ro Entry A great many veterans
have contended with emotional ma
laise termed as PVS or Post Vietnam
Syndrome is explained as "a pro
found sense of the uselessness of
what they have done, of having been
used, manipulated and cheated by
theft government in particular and
society in general and a lowered esti
mate of their own worth.
The 98rd Congress has begun '
lake notice of the problems. When
the Administration attempted to cut
ike $160 miHion in benefits for dis
abled Vietnam veterans, Congress
men protested so loud that the in
tended budget cut was withdrawn.
In March, the Senate passed three
pieces of legislation that offered vet
erans better health care, larger bur
ial allowances and expanded drug and
alcohol rehabilitation The last bill
would also aid those who received
leas than honorable discharges. These
bills had been pocket-vetoed by Nixon
last year, but are now before the
House which held hearings on them
last weak.
One can imagine how many per
sons feel about the returning 598
P.O.W.'s but certainly some aid must
and should also be given to nearly 6
WWto Vietnam Era Veterans who
managed to survive and are now the
victims of unemployment, medical
disorders, drug addiction, education
al disadvantage and the many other
psychological disturbances brought
on by the war.
The latest episode in the Admini
stration game of cutting back the
budget killed the Vocational Rehabil
itation Bui when Congress failed to
override the veto.
With reduced Vocational Behabffi
tation programs, what opportunities
wiU these returning veterans have
those who gave so much and yet who
now will receive so little?

RICHER DISTRICTS AID
SCHOOL BEGINNINGS
Some millions of Americans, most of them in
die states where public schools are supported
through taxes on property, read the decision
of the Supreme Court on an appeal from
Texas with satisfaction. The court held 5-4
that wealthier school districts could spend tax
money on their owe district schools without
sharing it with poorer districts,
More millions of citizens read the decision
with uahappmeas. Demetrio P. Rodriguez,
plsintiff in San Antonio, read it with
bitterness.
If a chid lives in a rich neighborhood, he can
have more money spent on his schools than
children in poor neighborhoods.
Theoretically, he can start the race of rife far
Education is Si the Way
The much heralded report by 'Com
mentary Magazine in the article by
Wattenburg and Scannon entitled
"Hack Progress and Liberal Rheto
ric" point up some interesting factors
hi the mobility of Black Americans.
They report that Black Americans
have been making economic and so
cial progress hi such large and grow
ing numbers that a majority of
blacks can now be said to have moved
info the middle class. I don't know
it is truly middledass or
neome. According to the re
port, it says that "a majority of
black Americans a slender major.
tyf nevertheless, have now moved
into the middle class. The dramatic
progress of blacks is evident in in
come, employment and education.
It is pointed out that according to
Census figures, income of black fam
ilies increased by 99.6 per cent.
Young blacks, especially black males,
aged 26-84 earn 80 per cent of white
levels of income on a national basis.
Striking advances have also been
imilies
ledian income of Mack hus
band-wife families in the North and
West, with the head of the family
under 88 yean of age, rose from 78
per cent of white income in 1959 to
18 par cant hi 1870."
On Employment "there has bean
the number of blade teen-agers
neither at work nor in school is only
about 5 per cent." says the authors.
Blacks have made major advances
hi gaining access to middle-class oc
cupations. New and better jobs are
held by blacks in union jobs, includ
ing the most highly skilled of these
trades.
In Education, the level of black at
tainment went up sharply in the
19608. By 1970 the rate had increas
ed to 54 per cent where as hi I960,
the level of blacks who had finished
four years of high school was only
86 percent. Blacks are now much
closer to the proportion of whites m
college than previously.
It is important to remember that
these startling and great advances
of American blanks have taken place,
in the period that witnessed the pas
sage of the Civil Bights Acts of 1986
and 1080, the Voting Bights Act of
1964, the Public Accommodations Act
of 1968, and the Housing Act of
1968, "all this legislation . . . broke
the back of legalised discrimination
in America,'' says the report
The tireless efforts of liberals all
over America, with legislation enact
ed by Congress, helped to break this
"decades-old legal, political and so
cial logjam." The authors do not say
Does Nothing
The majority opinion written by Associate
Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr., concluded that
the laws in question should not be declared
unconstitutional "merely because the burdens
of benefits there-of fall unevenly. ." This is
felicitous language, but it does nothing for the
feelings of the poor.
For the poor are barred from the wealthy
school districts. The poor blacks have the
additional handicap of color. The poor
Spanish-speaking people have a language
barrier. The burdens certainly do "fall
unevenly," with a good chance that such
uneven ness will last until death..
Even at the present moment, electorates and
zoning boaVds are jbusy blocking the entrance
of poor famines fo housing outside the inner
cities and the suburbs. White activists will get
tremendous encouragement from the court's
Dim View
The non-white and the poor may be driven
into a doser coalition by the court opinion
While interested executives pointed out that
.states were not prevented from devising more
equal financing plans, Associate Justice
Thurgood Marshall took a dim view of thb
prospect. W
"I am unsatisfied," he wrote, "with the hope
of an ultimate 'political' solution sometime in
the indefinite future." He declared the
majority opinion to be a "retreat from our
historic commitment to equality of
educational opportunity..." The opinion, he
said, enables the states to "constitutionally
vary the quality of the education which it
offers its children.
The majority conceded its action "is not to
be viewed as placing its judicial imprimatur on
the status quo in school financing," but said
the dissenters would have produced "an
unprecen dented upheaval in public
education."
Divided Opinion
Nineteen years ago, come May 17, the court
did produce "an unprecedented upheaval in
public education" with its unanimous opinion
in the Brown case. Recent opinions bear a
more cautious outlook, veering to 5-4 and 5-3
opinions.
In a Pennsylvania case, it held that a refusal
to serve a Negro state legislator did not violate'
the Constitution enough for aa
unconstitutional ruling. Another opinion
permitted the states to dilute the
one-man-one-vote formula ia
reapportionment
The opinion baffles students of black-white
abrasive ness in public education. Observers
have been struck with what is now called lack
of communication. It is said that some black
students just do not understand fully what the
teachers and administrators are saying. They
need better school systems, better teachers,
smaller classes, better discipline, better
estimates of community backgrounds.
Who to Blame?
But all this costs money. The black parents
blame the teachers and the teachers blame
parents. Now the Supreme Court has told the
nation that, regardless of the constitutional
guarantee of equality in education, wealthy
areas can continue to vary the education and
remain within the law.
Mr, Rodriguez's children must be content
with an education at $356 per capita, while
his fellow citizens spend $594 per capita- s
difference of S238. More importantly for Mr.
Rodriguez, this difference represents 66 per
cent more per capita. True, this amount b
not, in Mr. Justice Powell's words, an
"absolute deprivation" of benefit, nor is it
hardly approximate equality, much less
''absolute equality"

THE NOVEMBER election is all but forgotten by many of
us. The campaign rhetoric has been forgotten, and certainly
many of the faces and issues have long since faded into
oblivion. The excitement of preelection campaigns has
traditionally been an important experience to the common
people. It is during this time that citizens are reminded bow
important they are. The Nixon campaign, prior to the last
election, was generally the same, with one slight, difference
was that Mr.
paign for himself. His campaigning was done by members of
his staff and cabinet. Thus, our President did not need to
exercise the common touch by personally wooing the com

The 1964 Equal Opportunities Act signaled the beginning
of the "War on Poverty." More than II million Americans
were lifted out of poverty through the OEO programs and the
late President Lyndon Johnson's economic policies. The
effectiveness of OEO prior to 1969 can be measured by its
many achievements, such as the development of Headstart,
multipurpose community health centers and the involvement
of paraprofessionals as well aa thousands of volunteers.
These, and many more programs, were designed to Involve
the common people.
WHILE THE ACHEIVEMENTS of OEO programs prior
to 1969 have been many, achievements since that time have
been camouflaged for the most part by spokesmen of the
Nixon Administration who have continued to make basajsas
charges of wastefulness in an attempt to discredit. OEO
programs. Since ism,, under Mr. Nixon's economic policies,
the number of people living in poverty has skyrocketed.
Thus, in the name of economy, the Administration is at
tempting to sacrifice (he OEO. It appears that Mr. Nixon has
permitted his ''generals" to wage their own war, a war not

disadvantaged and the minorities.
Yes, these are "critical days." It does appear that our
Chief Executive lacks the "common touch." His apparent
insensitivity for programs that offer the greatest hope for the
poor, has created great anxiety among the common people
across the country.
FROM COAST TO COAST, we are reminded that many of
our cities still bear the scars of earlier confrontation, borne
through the unheeded anxieties of the common people, We
are also reminded that should the Administration continue to
pursue its port-election course with OEO, It could inevitably

and dedication to a purpose.

Her floral smile.
These things were a part of

I know that I was.

where my duffle bag dragged
down the corridor. From an
unseen doorway loud shouts
of laughter bolted out ... I

Army-green door, seventy
five watt bulbs blurred peo
ple of various sizes, shapes
and colors ten doll-like cubi
cles signified what was home
for twenty enlisted men at
R.A.F. Upper Heyford, Air
Force Base, England.
Veiled in smog, perched at
the top of a hill was Upper
Hdvford. Located lust sixteen
miles from the famous Ox
ford University and fifty
miles from the multitudinous
metroplls of London, Upper
Heyford exuded a most pro
digious quality. Quaint est-,
tages housed villagers who
spoke cockney brogues, and
quiet pubs served querulous
townspeople their nightly
pint of bitters (a thick black
ale), while their faces ques
tioned the antics of garru
lous American soldiers. '
It was here that hundreds
of military robots were as
signed to complete a two or
three-year tour of duty for
the United States Air Force.
It was here, separated from
friends and loved ones that
the single men were able to
make some semblance of life
in an austere Quonset hut a
pre- fabricated dwelling, hav
ing a semi-circular root that
curved down to form a wall.
It was here, despite the re
semblance to a stark, un
friendly hospital ward, that
many lyric poems to far
away girlfriends were com
posed, and wistful thoughts
regarding life, after military
commitments, were relished.
Where Are the Black POWs?
One of the primary reactions of the Black com
munity to the seemingly endless parade of return
ing American Prisoners of War in the press and on
television is "Where are the Black Prisoners of War?"
The answer is that they are few and far between
for a number of reasons. " vf I ,
Although Blacks were represented in casualty
figures during the Vietnam nightmare in numbers
far above their ratio to whites, few served as pilots
or officers.
VOLUNTEERS
Most of the POWs are upper-middle-class white
officers who volunteered for hazardous duty in the
skies of North Vietnam. Many, in fact, returned once
or more times to Vietnam after their original tours
of duty were over. r
The dead and wounded Americans in South Viet
nam, however (over 50,000 of them), were largely
working-class and poor youths, an unusually large
percentage of whom were Blacks, Puerto Ricans,
Chicanos and Native Americans whose only choice
was to enlist in the Army or wait to be drafted.
Cynics have charged that the POWs would not
be getting nearly as much publicity if they were non
whites or if they were from poor working-class fam
ilics The news media in this country, by and large,
are owned by wealthy whites and are designed to
serve other middle-class and wealthy whites.
IDENTIFICATION
Suburban whites, in other words, can readily i
dentify with POWs they see on their TV screens who
are reunited with their well-scrubbed, well-dressed
and pink-cheeked wives and children.
We'll never know, however, whether this analy
sis is completely accurate because it will be a long,
long time before the armed forces place non-whites
ijl highly skilled, highly paid positions such as pilots
and navigators who can then be returned by some
"enemy" as POWs at the termination of hostilities.
