Foreign policy that has prolonged the Vietnam War, features first-hand reports on the war which have never been presented to the Ameri can public with such force and clarity. Homer Hughes will be Master of Ceremonies. - Lowell Thomas : traces Com munist aggression In Europe and Asia. Then Wayne calls on General Wedemeyer and Gen eral Mark Clark to describe their own experiences in deal ing with Communist duplicity alter World War II and during the Korean War. The military leaders and combat veterans who appear in tne mm an insist they were hampered by policies designed to be less than successful Peter Stark, a Green Beret sergeant who lost both legs while fighting in Southeast Asia, puts it this way; "Viet nam is not a phony war. It was and is a very real war. It is not a limited war, because there Is no such thing as limited death." General Paul Harkins calls the situation "frustrating in the extreme." "We have made con-1 cession after concession," says I Admiral U. S. Grant Sharp, which immeasurably increased the casualties that our side in curred." The heroes of "No Substitute for Victory" are the men who have fought in Vietnam. And John Wayne Is their staunch supporter. Echoing the state ments of General Douglas Mac Arthur, Wayne charges that, "Whenever we fight the com munists, they seem to have help from somebody on our side. Somebody always wants to bend over backwards to avoid getting tough with them." Tickets for the Premiere Showing of "No Substitute for Victory" can be obtained at the following merchants and busi nesses: Coast to Coast, Gazette Times, and Lotts Electric. Tic kets are $2.00 each for adults and $1.00 each for students.
