'Affirmation Viet Nam' Group
Holds Rally;Plans More Soon
ATLANTA, Oa (Cl’S) ~ A
crowd estimated at 10,000 sat in a
drizzling rain in Atlanta's new
stadium to hear Secretary of
State Dean Husk tell them that
peace rested with Hanoi, not in
Washington
This was the big rally promts
ed by a group called Affirmation
Viet Nam. The group was origin
ated on the campus of Emory
University and spread across the
state so that it reached 54 cam
puses.
The sponsors of the organiza
tion announced Sat , Feb 12. that
they now plan to organize a na
tionwide erie of rallies in sup
port of I S. foreign policy.
"We want to show foreign
countries that Viet nicks and
peace marchers don't speak for
the great majority of college
students," Rcma M. Sutton Jr.,
and Emory senior, told reporters
before the rally. He is general
chairman of the organization.
Secretary Rusk praised the
students for organizing the rally
and pledged that the United
States would not ' retreat from
its commitment to South Viet
Nam."
$80,000 Raised
"The integrity of the pledged
word of the United States is the
principal pillar of peace around
the world," the secretary said
Sutton said that with the big
rally behind it, the organization
would now commit its staff and
"resources" to helping “colleges
in other states organize similar
rallies "
In addition to adding 54 affi
liate groups, the organization
raised more than $80,000 in con
tributions from corporations and
individuals, plus a ruling from
the Internal Revenue Service
that would make the contribution
Dunning to Speak

Anthropology.

tax deductible The budget calls
for $64,000
In three months of activity, the
organization has also collected
the signatures of more than 200,
000 Georgians on a petition sup
porting the nation's commitment
in Viet Nam
The idea was born when Sut
ton and Don Brunson, Emory's
sophomore class president, decid
ed over lunch one day that "we
ought to do something to show
support for the soldiers in Viet
Nam."
Tax Exempt
They began gathering support
on their campus and from local
businessmen The staff now num
bers over 200
Sutton flew to Washington and
talked with White House aides
and with the International Rev
enue Service. He was told that
an application for contributions
to be declared tax exempt usual
ly took 30 to 90 days. Sutton
said, "I then called a colonel in
to the Vice President’s office—
1 don't remember his name — and
we got tax exempt status in a
week.”
Meanwhile, three national firms
with headquarters in the Atlanta
area—Sears. Roebuck and Co.;
Cluctt, Peabody and Co.: and
Lockheed-Georgia Co.—made ex- j
ecutive planes available for the
students and their speakers.
All but one of Atlanta's many
banks gave $1,000 each. Delta
Airlines gave $800 and the Geor
gia-Power Company and the
Southern Company, a utilities
holding companv, each gave $1,
000.
Rob Hope
Interested was also high among
politicians. Georgia Gov. Carl
Sanders was among the first sign
ners of the petition as was Geor
gia's Sen. Richard Russell, chair
man of the Senate’s Armed Ser
vices Subcommittee. Sanders also
gave $1,000.
In Hollywood, comedian Bob
Hope, fresh from his Christmas
tour of Viet Nam, prepared a 30
minute program that was widely
known in Georgia to drum up
support.
Hardly any potential contribu
tor failed to recognize at least
one name on the committee’s list
of sponsors which includes such
political enemies as Ralph Mc
Gill, publisher of the Atlanta Con
stitution, and Roy Harris, who
publishes a segregationist’s week
ly in which lie refers to McGill
as “Rastus.”
Support at Emory, the home
base for the group, has been
strong but not unanimoas. Some
students who opposed the war
complained because the univer
sity gave the group a 15-room
office complex without charge.
The Rev. Lon B Chcsnutt, the
resident Methodist minister at
Emory, a Methodist school, said
he and some of the faculty were
surprised that the government
gave tax exempt status to an or
ganization "which is so obviously
a political movement." The com
plaints have affected the\ sup
port very little, however
Sutton said the organization
had become so large that he
found he didn’t have time for
classes any more. "Now I’m just
auditing courses,” he said “I
realize that makes me eligible
for the draft, but that’s okay. 1
couldn’t be happier over what
we’ve done.”
