A n 1 1 - w a r demonstrations
across the country continued
over the week-end with
sporadic outbursts of violence
occurring.
An estimated 75,000 to 100,000
demonstrators gathered by the
White House Saturday in a
peaceful anti-war demonstra
tion marred in its late hours by
scattered clashes . between
police and small groups of
militants which resulted in over
100 arrests.
District of Columbia Mayor
Walter Washington said Satur
day night's violence could not
be attributed to the crowd at
the main demonstration earlier
in the day which he called
''peaceful."
FROM PRESIDENT NIXON
Peace rally
Continued from Page 1
Sack, foreign correspondent for
Esquire magazine. He termed
the American invasion of
Cambodia a "Spanish
Armada."
AMERICANS are in
Indochina to honor treaties but
the United States has never
flinched about breaking any
treaties with "your first
Americans," according t o
Rueben Snake who attended the
rally with a delegation of Win
nebago Indians. The Win
nebago's are fighting an at
tempt by the Army Corp of
Engineers to convert a disputed
piece of land into a recreation
area.
THE REV. TOM REHORN
described the North Viet
namese and Viet Cong as "little
Davids up against Americans
Goliaths. They have withstood
us for nine years and they will
do it for nine more," he said.
Change can't come without
exerting pressure, "because
power has never moved volun
tarily," he said. Students must
get rid of fear and expend some
courage. "You'll be surprised
what you can get away with,"
Rehorn said.
Dissidents must use their in
telligence and organize to
combat "cold cash politics and
rifles or else you'll be playing
tiddlywinks like the church has
been dong," the Sioux City
minister said.
"Radicals for peace and
love" won't get far if they don't
cultivate support from the
community, Rehorn emphasiz
ed.
ANOTHER SPEAKER told
the crowd that war is no longer
a defensible strategy.
Rev. James Armstrong, a
Mrthodist bishop from South
Dakota, said, "Unless people
like us call an end to war, war
will put an end to people like
us."
The United States is becom
ing more and more a military
state, Armstrong noted. Since
World War II more than one
trillion dollars have been spent
for the military, he said.
FRED STOVER, president of
the U.S. Farmers' Association,
also noted the drain of
resources.
"As long as the nation's
resources are involved in the
Asian quagmire," he said,
"there is not enough money for
assistance for the producers of
the foe."
Political courage is the am
munition that college students
and Americans must use to
convince the government to ;t
out, Stover said.

peaceful rally across from the.
White House by holding
numerous meetings with
students. Nixon, himself, went
to the Lincoln Memorial at
dawn and pleaded with young
peace demonstrators for
understanding of his efforts to
end the Vietnam War.
"It was one of the greatest
experiences of my life," Nixon
said later.
Thousands of college students
across the nation carried their
protest against American in
volvement in Southeast Asia
from the campus to the
downtown sections of many
cities. Thousands marched
Saturday in Chicago, Denver
and Minneapolis-St. Paul.

The relative peace on the
nation's campuses Saturday
followed a wild Friday that saw
several buildings burned.

Brooklyn campus of Long
