Vietnam claims MJA's found
From UPI
HANOI, Vietnam-Vietnam announ-
ced yesterday it has found the remains
of three more U.S. airmen missing sin-
ce the Vietnam War. The announ-
cement was made during a visit by a
three-man delegation from the U.S.
Joint Casualty Resolution Center,
based in Hawaii.
Vu Hoang, director of the Vietnamese
office in charge of finding missing
American servicemen, said the
remains of the three airmen would be
turned over to U.S. officials as soon as
forensic specialists had completed
identification of the remains.
BOTH SIDES refused to reveal the
names of the three airmen, among
some 2,500 American servicemen still
listed as missing in Vietnam, Laos and
Cambodia.
The Vietnamese announcement came
less than a month after news reports
revealed that Washington had sent a
secret commando reconnaissance team
into Laos to seek evidence of live

GREENBERG SAID she also had
doubts about the police's use of the list,
saying she would anticipate an increase
in police "harassment" of halfway
house prisoners.
Shortly after the prisoners and
parolees ordinance passed on the first
reading at last week's council meeting,
Greenberg contacted the Washtenaw
County American Civil Liberties Union,
who say they oppose the proposal on
constitutional grounds.
At a formal protest held in front of
City Hall Wednesday morning, ACLU
spokesman Calvin Michaels said that
"registration of convicts as a crime
prevention is open to serious doubts,"
and violates the rights to privacy, due
process, equal protection, freedom of
association, and the Commerce Clause
of the U.S. Constitution.
Morris pointed out that it is usual to
vote for an ordinance on a first reading.
Discussion and debate of a proposal
come at the second reading, when the
council decides whether to vote an or-
dinance into law.

Announcement criticized
by some MIA families
American prisoners of war in jungle
camps there.
The command team returned with no
evidence that any Americans were still
beingheld prisoner.
BUT IN Washington, Ann Griffiths,
executive director of National League
of Families of Prisoners and Missing in
Southeast Asia, said that if the Viet-
namese intend to return the remains of
only three Americans, "it's a deliberate
slap in the face."
"They are aware our government
possesses a substantial amount of in-
formation that has been substantiated
by the Defense Intelligance Agency
that Vietnam is withholding the
remains of over 400 American ser-
vicemen," she said.
"This is another one of their dribbling
out the remains of a couple of people
because they must think it suits their
purposes. It's really insulting.
"IT, OF COURSE, will ease the un-
certainty for three of the families. Of
course we are happy for the three
families, if indeed the Vietnamese
follow through and return them. As for
the overall picture, it's disgusting. It's
another indication of how they lie," she
said.
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles,Vietnam-
era veterans rejected White House
promises to increase funding for
veterans services and vowed yesterday
to continue their hunger strike and sit-
in until President Reagan meets with
them at Wadsworth VA Hospital.
"We want to meet personally with the
president," said Ron Kovic, one of the
"Inside Six" staging a sit-in in the
hospital lobby. "One of our major
demands is that we meet with the
president right here."
TWO OF THE hunger strikers who
were in their 14th day of fasting with-
drew from the protest Thursday, saying
they were satisfied with a letter from
White House acting administrator of
Veterans Affairs Donald Custis.
In the letter, the Reagan Ad-
ministration promised a 300 percent
budget increase to study the effect of
Agent Orange, continued funding for 91
storefront veterans outreach centers
and a halt to other planned cuts in VA
services.
"We voted unanimously in favor of
continuing the sit-in and hunger
strike," Kovic said.
The protesters are also demanding a
comprehensive investigation into
delayed stress syndrome and a com-
plete evaluation of the G.I. Bill of
Rights and care provided at the VA
hospital.

'WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?'
Psalm 2:1 and Acts 4:25
One correspondent writes: ."It was just such militancy, narrow-
mindedness, and bigotry as yours that turned me from Christianity to
agnosticism." He signs his name, and present degree, "ex-Reverend." In this
instance it appears we accomplished the opposite of what desired and
hoped!
"Ex-Reverend" gave us quite a bit of his time, attention, and consideration.
He wrote us an epistle longer than some in The Bible! There were several
things in it for which we were able to compliment him. He is very gifted at
"sarcasm."
We could also sincerely congratulate "ex-Reverend" for giving himself that
degree. If a man does not believe we admire him for "getting out." If every
minister who took a solemn vow to proclaim and defend the Bible as the
Infallible Revelation of God Almighty would get out in case their belief
changes, or if they were hypocrits from the outset, then the Church would be
cleansed from "something dead up the creek," as well as "dead wood and
excess baggage." The Church would be mach better off, and the individuals
would greatly improve their own character and integrity, provided they are
concerned about such virtues and maintaining a good conscience.
We quote from the close of our letter and appeal to ex-Reverend: "Fall on
your knees, look up to your Creator, The Almighty. Quit looking at 'militant,
narrow-minded bigots!' Call on God to reveal Himself to you. Promise if He
makes Himself known and real to you, you will 'Fear God, and keep His
Commandments, the whole duty of man.' Do that, and follow it up by reading
His Book, The Bible, Searching The Scriptures, endure in this good work, and
in due season you will reap, if you faint not. You will reap the true knowledge
of God, and Jesus Christ whom He hath sent, which is Eternal Life! Then we
predict you will rejoice to give yourself the degree of "re-Reverend!" God
grant that it will come about!
True Christians,pray for this man, and all other such "speckled birds!" -
Jeremiah 12:9. They can be saved: "For with God nothing shall be
impossible." But for His mercy and grace'we would be in as bad a fix as they
are!.t
