Protest Of Foreign Aid Policy
Made By Five Haverfordians

Claiming that the United States
is’ waging a repressive. war in
South Viet Nam, five Haverford
students have formed a cammittee
to send medical aid to the Front
of National Liberation, generally
known agsthe Viet Cong. :

The. five, Russ Stetler, Paul
Mattick, Joe Eyer, Roger Eaton,
and. Jim’ Garahan, believe that the
majority of South Vietnamese, in-
cluding political and, religious
leaders, students, and. peasants,
have suffered from the various
military dictatorships which the
United States has supported there,
An insurrection was in progress

\ before Communists joined it. Also,
Stetler says, ther@ts ‘little‘or-no .

evidence that the guerillas are
‘Supplied by North Viet Nam. or
Communist China,

The Haverford students’ hope
that their medical aid plan. will
be a dramatic protest .against

United States policy in Viet Nam.
They will also take part in a

demonstration in New York on
May. 2. Russ Stetler is one of the
co-chairmen of the national May
2 Committee, and he. é¢xpects.a
few thousand students and others
to participate-in the demonstra-
tion, Such“ protests, they-feel,
may change American public op-
inion. enough to -allow or even

' force the United: States to end

all military aid to the South Viet
Nam government. Such a move
would open the way to self-de-

termination.

Strong criticism has come from
some groups, such as the Phila-
delphia Veterans of Foreign Wars
who called the students. ‘thalf-
baked adolescents’’ and said they
should be ‘tsilenced,’? The vet-
erans-have also begun action to
try to deprive Stetler «of his
Philadelphia’ Board of Education
scholarship.

Postal officials have opened mail
sent. and received by Stetler con-
cerning the activities of his com-
mittee. It is also rumored that
the F.B.], is investigating the com-
mittee. When asked about this
Stetler said, ‘‘Ask them. 1 wouldn’t
be surprised.”’

On-Monday evening, April 27,
Stetler will show a Liberation

‘Front propaganda film in the Bryn

Mawr Common Room. The film was
made in a ‘*jungle studio’? and
shows actual combat and the fight-
ing conditions. It was intended
mainly as a morale booster for
Vietnamese audiences already
commited to support of the Lib-
eration Front.
