4 The Michigan Daily-Saturday, November 18, 1978-Page 5 Iranian students see new Vietnam in Iran BERGMAN AND LIUZZO CASES CITED: FBI linked to actvist attacks By WILLIAA THOMPSON While the revdition against Shah Mohammad RezaPahlavi escalates in 'Iran, Iranian stunts at the University are warning Anericans that the situation could develop into another Vietnam. "The same t4Ing will happen in Iran as in Vietnam ?f the American people remain uninfomed," said C. Mihan- doust of te Iranian Students Association. ")ur duty is to inform the American peale about the Shah. I feel they will do miat is right and withdraw their support'rom this butcher." MILHAND)UST AND other students believe the Inited States is gradually increasing .ts political influence in Iran, simil~r to U.S. intervention in Vietnam. 'hey said the U.S. gover- nment has already offered the Shah direct miliary support. "The Uiited States has an elite force which is designed to destroy all op- position ii Iran in a few days," Milhan- dust sad. "That force is now on alert." The united States, according to Mihandust, has Zan interest in Iran's interna' affairs because "the United °States ieeds trade with Iran. "IT 7EEDS A dumping ground," he said. 'The CIA brought the Shah to power and he has geared everything towari American profits. The Iranian peopl starve to death because of it, sincethe money from Iranian industry goes back to the United States for pur- chasing arms." "Iran is the United States' policeman in the Middle East," added Iranian student Ali Ehia. "The United States uses theShah's forces to fight its battles in the Middle East. Americans are in control, but they avoid the negative public reaction which would result if the United States became involved in another war." Ehia, like many othe Iranian Univer- sity students, accused President Carter of supporting "atrocities committed by the Shah." "THE SHAP HAS directly ordered tortures, arrests, and the army to shpot innocent people," she said. "Carter called the Shah to give his open support on September 8, the same day the Shah had 15,000 people killed." As a result of American support of the Shah, Ehia warns, any new Iranian regime would be anti-American. "If Iran goes, the United States will suffer a great eclonomic and political blow," he said. THE FALL OF the Shah's gover- nment was called "inevitable" by the Iranian students. "The Shah will be forced to abdicate and the United States will try to buy off the movement against him," Ehia said. "Yet the American people have no in- tention of supporting the Shah. They know that what he does is in the interest of the large corporations and not the people." By JULIE ENGEBRECHT Two American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) spokespersons reiterated last night their claim that the FBI was ac- tively involved in a conspiracy which left one Detroit civil rights activist dead and another paralyzed in two separate incidents during the early 60's. Speaking at an ACLU forum at an Ann Arbor residence, Howard Simon and Marjorie Cowen, members of the Detroit ACLU chapter, told a crowd of 16 persons about FBI efforts to repress and silence Detroit civil activists, Walter Bergman and Viola Liuzzo.. "THE PICTURE OF the FBI's in- volvement in both matters is a very disturbing one," Simon said, who is representing Liuzzo's family. "These cases are showing the FBI played a role in opposing the civil rights movement." The most significant thing bout these two cases," he added, "is that they're playing a major role in rewritting the history of the civil rights struggle." Luizzo was shot and killed in early 1965 while riding in a car with another person in Alabama. Luizzo, who became active in the civil rights movement in response to a call from Martin Luther King, was shot and killed in early 1965 while riding in a car with another person in Alabama. THE FATAL SHOT came from another vehicle crowded with Ku Klux Klan members, including Gary Thomas Rowe, an FBI informant. Rowe has been recently indicted in the Liuzzo slaying. In May of 1961, Bergman Who was helping to integrate public facilities in the South was attacked and badly beaten after Klan members am- bushed a bus he was riding on. The at- tack left Bergman paralyzed from the waist down. Both Bergman and Liuzzo are white. "The local police departments were in sympathy with the Klan, and the FBI became involved in the whole proceeding," said Simon. "They said they were protecting national security and Rowe's cover, but they were really working against civil rights activities."
