Clergy, laymen protest war; request legislative support by Rose McKiernan Fifteen Mundelein students and faculty members joined the Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam Mobilization in Washington, D.C, Feb. 5 and 6. Roselle Armonda, Katie Beckert, Kathy Benjamin, Sister Barbara Brooks, Mrs. Constance Chobanian, Kathy Feucht, Mary Pat Kelliher, Maureen Kill, Sister Mary Jo Mcllhon, Rose McKiernan, Kathy McGrath, Sister Donna Merwick, Sister Prudence Moylan, Sharon Pelletier and Sister Linda Townley were among the Mundelein participants. Caucus crusade During the afternoon of the first day, all partici pants met in caucuses with persons from their own states. Each caucus then confronted their congress men to voice their dissen sion about the war and to ask support in halting it. The film Inside North Vietnam by Felix Greene concluded the first day of the Mobilization. The film demonstrated the fact that the Vietna mese people have an un limited endurance so char acteristic of the East . . . The film intimated that the only way to defeat the Vietnamese people is to destroy them. So, possibly the message of the film is that while our bombing missions are technically aimed at the destruction of property, our actual tar gets are the people be cause, in essence, they are the war effort, explain d Sister Prudence Moylan, history instructor. Pro-war pickets On the second day. Rev erend Carl Mclntire, ra dio commentator and founder of the American Council of Christian Churches, rose and asked for the floor. He stated that so far as he under stood. Clergy and Laymen Concerned is not getting down to basic reality. We must follow our consciences, but our con sciences must be enlight ened by the word of God, he said. At a later press conference, Mr. Mclntire condemned the Clergy and Laymen Concerned as the advance guard of Ho Chi Minh. At one time, a group of 72 persons picketed the meeting in support of Mr. Mclntire. One marcher stated her views on the topic: The Bible says that we should take up the armor of Christ. This cer tainly does not mean that we should sit still and al low communist imperial ists to invade a defenseless country, murder millions of people, and then con tinue to spread their ter rorism to bordering coun tries. Other smaller pro- war groups also joined in picketing the meeting. Mrs. Constance Choban ian, history instructor, pointed out the results of the confrontations with congressmen at an infor mal meeting held here, following the return of the representatives. She stat ed that their confronta tion with the congressmen served to illustrate the fu tility of such an appeal, and she further explained that because of the politi cal situation in the gov ernment, Congress might very well believe that the war is immoral as well as impossible to win. How ever, few congressmen will take that stand for fear of losing office as weJl as other adverse re percussions. Triple proposal The participants also felt that one weakness in the two days was the lack of specific planning ses sions to prepare people to convince their communi ties that the war in Viet Nam must be halted.
