LETTERS TO THE STAR
Take Sides in Battle for Presidency

Salem, Virginia (due to our
right-to-work laws in Vir-
ginia) picketing was limited
and the men and women who
wanted to work were able
to do so. Many Of them
chose to work.
I believe we are in serious
danger Of losing our free
dom when people want to
work in a situation like this,
but cannot do so because a
labor union will not allow
them to work.
If the Democrats win this
election there will be in
creaSing pressure to destroy
our right-to-work laws in
Virginia and other States
which have them. I whole
heartedly agree with Sena-
tor Byrd and other outstand-
ing leaders that we must
protect a mans freedom to
choose whether or not he will
work.
Mrs. ROllin H. Wampler.

Does Senator Kennedy de-
sire prestige for the name,
America" above the survival
Of free enterprise?
He proposes to use our in
creased prestige as influence
for the choice Of freedom in
what have been politically
undecided areas of the world.
Ironically, he expects to Gre
ate this overwhelming pres
tige out of our drastic eco
nomic growth which is to be
induced by his administra-
tion's intervention in our
own private enterprise.
If we elect to be blinded by
his fear of communism, we
will surely stumble into So
cialiSm.

Your impartial and worthy
paper got a needed shot in
the arm by Constantine
Browns article of October
%, Evidence of Tarnished
Prestige" 1t takes courage
to state unpleasant facts. The
columnist did a great service
to the country by calling a
spade a spade. After all,
it's only evidence that counts
in a court of justice.
Mr.. Browns article and
the one by Crosby S. Noyes
on October 81, Watching
The World" should be
must" reading for every
fair-thinking American voter
interested in the truth about
our prestige in the world.
The nearer the presidential
campaign draws to a close,
the more the old Nixon seems
to reveal himself, and all the
skill of his makeup artist
can't conceal it. He blames
his opponents for all the ills
Of the world, while not ad-
mitting to any mistakes of
the present administration.
Let Vice President Nixon
stop pulling the wool over the
eyes of the American elec-
torate, while he's accusing
Senator Kennedy of woody
thinking.

Senator Kennedy's theme
song, I'VE Must Go Forward"
is a refrain which is becom-
ing trite. In my lifetime
many a President has come
and gone and never have I
been more impressed and
proud of Americas progress,
scientifically. industrially and
culturally as in these last
eight years. Indeed, we are
pacing ahead and with free
dom, without the horrors of
war to restrain us, but we are
going ahead with freedom
and not by force and subju-
cation. We are free to choose
our own course in this mar
velouS country with its ever
growing, unlimited opportu-
mites.
Peace is our goal. Let us
trust the whole world wants
peace and that every nation
is determined it will be their
goal. M. MOffett.

Senator Kennedy said that
there are II million Ameri-
cans who go to bed hungry.
How refreshing to hear
one American in high public
office speak of the plight of
a large segment of our people
when for eight long years we
have heard high-placed poll
ticians speak of little else
than the need" for foreign
aid for the underprivileged in
underdeveloped lands abroad.
