Delegation To Paris
Arizonans Ask for Humane Treatment by Judi Claybourn
"I'll be home !or Christmas," So goes a song that was popular during the last big war. AOO it remains a favorite.
For many Americans this song simply st2tes a tact. But for some, it is only a hope, or just a dream.
The prisoners of war being held in North Vietnam will not be home for Christmas, andprobably not for several more months.
A delegation has been ebsen to go to Paris in another attempt to gain humane treatment for our POW's. Included are Raul Castro, candidate for governor in 1970; Ron McCoy, student bodv president of ASU; Geor~ Nader, Mayor of
Chandler; Berton Ballr, House majority leader of the Arizona legislature; and Homer Lane, gen. eral manager of KOOL radio and television in Ph~ nix.
'We are trying to get the ~forti} Vietnamese and Vietcong to live up to the Geneva Convention," said McCoy.
The Mountain Bell Telelitone Company is mailing an insert along with more than 2,250,000 tela. phone bills during December. The enclosure, "Do you really care?," asks customers to appeal directly to the President of North Vietnam for: treatment of all prisoners of war humanely as specified in the provisions of the Geneva Convention; release of an official list of all prisoners
held; information about those known to be dead; release of the seriously sick and wounded, and a free fiO'If of mail with the prisoners.
McCoy said that he also encourages letter writin~ to the government officials. "But tbe letters shouldll 't be emotional," he added. • "~'bey should have substance and be intelligent. The North Vietnamese and Vietcong won't meet with the wives any more because they are tired of the tears."
Many people's thougbts have turned to the POW's and MIA's in this Christmas season. U YOU really care, show your concern by writing to the president of North Vietnam appealing for tbe above mentioned considerations. Send your letter to: President Democratic Republic of Vietnam, Hanoi
