Tom Beam, Red Cross fund
chairman, hai been transferred
to Stayton. A board" meeting is
planned for a weekend when he
is home to hear hfs- report as'
well as other 'chairmen.' reports.
In weekend movies here this
weekend, Acade my Award
winning film star, John Wayne
hosts Lowell Thomas,, Martha
Raye, Gen. Albert C. Wede
meyer, Gen. Paul Harkins, Gen.
Mark Clark, Adm. U.S. Grant
Sharp, former Ag Secy. Ezra
Taft Benson and others In the
special film "No Substitute
For Victory", to be premiered at
Heppner Grade School Saturday
and Sunday. June 12th showing
will be, at 7:30 p. m. and the
June .13th - showing will be at
p. m.
Ron Brlttner of the Associa
tion to Keep and Bear Arms
said the film, a hard bitting cri
tique of the U. S. 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.
The income from the tickets
