McGovern asks new priorities

By STEVE KOPPMAN
"We need to apply the les-
sons of the Vietnam War - the
darkest hour in o u r national
history - to the construction of
a new foreign policy," Sen.
George McGovern (D-S.D.) told
some 3000 people at Hill Aud.
Sunday.
"We must cease being a solo
policeman in a revolutionary
world," declared McGovern, a
candidate for t h e Democratic
presidential nomination in 1968.
"We don't have the right or the
capacity to try to save political
regimes that lack t h e respect
and confidence of their o w n
people."
Calling the Oct. 15 morator-
ium an "act of the highest pa-
triotism," M c G o v e r n said,
"when one challenges the mis-

taken policies of his country, he
pays it the highest possible
compliment. What he is saying
by this constructive criticism is
that he has faith in the high
ideals of his country."
McGovern expressed his hope
that President Nixon's Nov. 3
national address would signal a
"breakthrough". toward a policy
shift.
"But if he holds to that same
course," he continued, "I pre-
dict he's going to learn what
his predecessor learned - that
American foreign policy c a n-
not be formed in defiance of
the conscience and the common
sense of the American people."
McGovern also lashed out at
the national priorities, which he
said, assign vast amount to mil-
itary spending and relatively

little to social welfare. "We
have to develop a new defini-
tion of national security. We
must stop permitting the econ-
omy of d e a t h to starve the
economy of life," he added.
McGovern was optimistic that
the American people and gov-
ernment could learn from past
mistakes in Vietnam, but voic-
ed fear that "we're involved in
a similar course in Laos and
Thailand."
McGovern said that America
is coming to realize and work
toward the solution of her in-
ternal problems. Noting that
"we have 12 to 15 million hun-
gry people in this country," he
explained, "more people are
concerned about this, and more
people are willing to act on it
than at any other time since

I've been in public office."
Expressing a similar hope in
the possibility of change in the
electoral process, M c G o v e r n
said, "Out of the turbulence and
tragedy of last year's Democrat-
ic convention was born a re-
form effort that I fully believe
will bring about important
changes in the Democratic par-
tY"
"Racism is still w it h us,"
continued McGovern, describ-
ing it as "the most tragic moral
failure of this country."
"Is it not t r u e," he asked,
"that an increasing number of
Americans are coming to un-
derstand that not a single per-
son in this country can be real-
ly free and secure until we put
an end to the ravages of rac-
ism.

Christmas 1969 RADICAL FILM SERIES

The low quality of American'
medical care and the role of med-
ical schools in improving it was
discussed at Saturday's medical
symposium by a group of doctors,
professors and students.
Paul Lowinger, chief of the Out-
patient Service at Detroit's Lafay-
ette Clinic, and a professor at
Wayne State University, criticized'
medical practices in many cities
for racial discrimination, maldis-
tribution of medical personnel and
the dehumanization of American
medical treatments.
He said that medical schools-
by establishing open admissions
and abolishing grades-could help
humanize and individualize the
profession.
Mike Dawson '71, president of
the Michigan chapter of the Stu-I
dent Amerian Medical Association,
(SAMA) noted that since "5000 of

10,000 qualified students are turn-'
ed down by schools, when people'
complain of minority discrimina-
tion, I get a twinge thinking of
people more qualified who will not
get the chance for medical school
and will have to take less gratify-
ing positions in society."
Lowinger later said that "any
effort to organize with the AMA
(American Medical Association) is
futile. It is an accretion of in-
dividuals keyed to self-preserva-
tion. I also do not think any med-j
ical school will act" he added.
Dr. Harold Falls, professor of
opthamology, r a i s e d objection
from the audience to Lowinger's
comments. "I would like to see a
discussion with the ideas of actual
practitioners, social workers and
people with expertise and experi-
ence in a university setting instead
of purely utopian thought. Let's
please find out what we are chang-
ing from before we change."

Lebanese
map talk
strate irese
Political, military
le(aers prepare
to meet guerrillas
BEIRUT M - - Lebanon's
political and military leaders
mapped strategy yesterday in
preparation for talks w i t h
guerrillas over the recent
conflict in the Middle East.
Tension eased in most of Le-
banon's cities after the weekend
battles which left some 30 dead
and scores wounded. However,
fighting. ensued in the port city
of Tripoli, still in the grips of
insurgent guerrillas. Al Fatah,
the Arab guerrilla organization,
reported new fighting with Le-
banese troops in Southern Le-
banon.
Lebanese President Ch arles
Helou conferred with outgoing
Premier Rashid Karami, t h e
commander in chief and chief of
staff of the army, and his top
political advisers in advance of
Karami's expected departure for
Cairo for talks with the guerrilla
leadership. He will be accompan-
ied by military chiefs, sources
said.
The talks are being sponsored
by Egypt. A personal envoy of
Egyptian President Gamal Ab-
del Nasser has been touring Arab
capitals to arrange negotiations.
Lebanon says publicly it sup-
ports Palestinian resistance move-
ments but wants operations
against Israel coordinated w i t h
the Lebanese army. Such opera-
tions must not expose its popu-
lation to Israeli reprisals, the Le-
banese say. But Lebanese offic-
ials do not say how such opera-
tions could be carried out in a
way that would avoid Israeli re-
taliation.
The guerrilas demand complete
freedom of operation anywhere
along the twisting, rugged border
with Israel.
Some observers foresaw a pos-
sible compromise that w o u 1 d
allow the guerrillas to operate
only from deserted areas in
southeastern Lebanon. Still ano-
ther alternative was suggested by
Shibli Aryan, a leftist politician
who proposed a "Lebanese Ho Chi
Minh trail" leading from Syria
through Lebanon into Israel,
Meanwhile, in Washington, the
State Department accused t h e
Soviet Union of trying to "make
propaganda" of the crisis in
Lebanon and called for "quiet
diplomacy" to settle the dispute.
The U.S. statement responded to
a dispatch by Tass, the official
Soviet news agency, which had
been interpreted as a warning to
the United States against inter-
fering in Lebanon. The United
States sent Marines into Lebanon
in 1958 to help quell civil war.
