They feel, however, that once
the Southern politicians get to
know Romney some of them
will switch allegiances and give
Romney, whenever he formally
announces his candidacy, at
least some support at the Re-
publicn convention.
Romney begins the three-day
trip Saturday at Little Rock,
Ark., where he will address the
state’s top Republicans at a
dinner honoring Gov. Winthrop
Rockefeller.
Romney will travel to Atlan
ta Sunday for a whirlwind
schedule of speeches, news con
feences, party functions, and
public receptions on Monday.
Here Romney will find an en
clave of moderate Republican
strength in the midst of a con
servative majority.
In both Atlanta and Little
Rock, Romney will hold news
conferences where he surely
will be asked to explain his po
sition on civil rights. He has
supported the major civil rights
laws passed by Congress since
1959.

Confused Young Entitled
To Clearer Viet War View
By RAY CROMLEY
Washington Correspondent
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
Wh/
WASHINGTON (NEA)
No one knows how many young men have run off to Can
ada to escape the draft. Estimates run from 400 to 2,000.
Not all are happy with their decision to run.
From whye he lives in Canada, one of these draft dodgers
wrote to President Johnson. His letter follows:
“Recently I read that you have offered draft dodgers a
second chance to fulfill their military obligation. I am one
who would be most willing to accept parole into the service.
I want to return to the United States to serve in Vietnam.
What must I do?
“It is clear to me now that my emigration was due less to
any strong moral objection to the war in Vietnam than to a
horror of war in general—the horror which most men feel. I
have erred in basing my decision on feeling rather than rea
son. In the confused debates of my university life, I mistook
my own confusion for true doubts of conscience. I do not
mean that I have all the answers even now. I mean only that
I am now convinced of the correctness of my country’s inten
tions in Vietnam.
“Please, give me this chance to serve.”
Other young men have declared themselves conscientious
objectors. Their claims have been verified and they have done
work (or are doing work) in lieu of military service. These
are excerpts from a letter by one of these men:
“For the past two years I have been serving in the capacity
of a teacher in the American School of Leopoldville, Congo
... (doing work in lieu of military service).
“Originally, I claimed exemption from the military service
because I felt it was wrong to engage in war and to destroy
lives. Upon completing my term in Leopoldville and after
seeing many people miraculously rescued from the atrocities
of rebel hands, I became convinced that I could not be
honest to God nor myself in claiming the freedoms we hold
so dear to us unless I, too, placed my life in jeopardy, if
need be, to help the many less fortunate peoples in this
world—like others have already done for me.
“I still believe that peace is the best answer to our world
conflicts and that war is the worst answer, but I can not claim
peace, security and freedom for myself unless I am willing
to stand and protect them.
“I am requesting a change in classification from 1-0 (con
scientious objector) to I-A (available for military service), so
that I can do my part in supporting the rights and freedoms
we hold so dear . . .
These two examples suggest there should be more debate
on Vietnam and the draft, not less.
Because exhibitionists, “kooks” and Communists oppose
U.S. actions, it does not erase the fact that some sincere,
patriotic young men and women are deeply confused and
worried.
It is only fair to the nation and to these young people that
their doubts and worries be honestly and thoroughly dis
cussed. Most young people, like most older people, want to
do the right thing.
Only give-and-take discussion win end the confusion.

Judge Threatens
To Make Lawyer
Attend Meetings
NORFOLK, Va. (UPD _ U.S.
District Judge Walter E. Hoff,
man Jr. Thursday threatened to
issue an unprecedented court
order requiring a Justice De
partment attorney to attend
Norfolk school board meetings.
Hoffman threatened to issue
the order after a run-in with
Justice Department attorney
Leonard Ryan in court here.
Ryan, during the final argu
ments of a Norfolk school de
segregation case, protested the
location of the new Booker T.
Washington High School. He
said building the school in a
Negro neighborhood would
“perpetuate segregation.”
Hoffman snapped back, “If
you and the federal government
want to approve the location of
all new schools, the court will
guarantee it.”
Hoffman said he would issue
an order requiring Ryan to at
tend all future board meetings
when school construction was
to be discussed. He said if
Ryan failed to answer the court
order “someplace locally will
be found to stay,” apparently
meaning the lawyer would be
jailed for contempt of court.
In Washington, a Justice De
partment spokesman said the
judge’s threatened order was
believed to be without prece
dent.
