Tis indeed that my grpes exceeded only by

I'm opposed to progress indeed go in debt each year
trying make the amount OF progress as 40 the
NV grippe is this Why? What for? What in the name Of
heaven is about? think about it and to myself
Now all this we'll and good but here on the edge
of space and by God can't get along with the man
next door, down the street Here we are but short tune
from the moon, Mars yet on the Eartn hna
beings starving fighting in short being advanced asses
The moon Mars Pluto, as we look toward the
heavens all of which is excellent until we look az the
county Court and Negro trying to register and
vote then the heavens be damned Our eyes turn earth
ward and we scream, stop that nlgger!
NV rpes have often included the stupidity Of matters
military too the waste that of time and
money able to understand the effort Whcn
into ways and of killing not in view OF the great

Last week received from Charlton of Los Angeles
who is Chairman the Committee for Sane Nlclear 70
Icy there piece he'd written along the line OF my grippe
about that bit of waste and stupidity
Peter informed that land hope every american 1

military endeavor the end of World War H. The World
spends on military each day the amount OF Sz74uo
600. including Christmas and Easter" D..
In the piece written by Peter he quoted Bertrand nus
SELL from speech Manchester earlier this year, as

species think the past although people have been
as ferocious they how to be- and have done
other as much could there Limits 10 fher
skill and the harm they could do to each other was nor
oyvra Quit he
now that degree ferocious feeling which has
existed is capable of wping out the whole human race
we've oot the fact that unless we can
TO less hatred each other cannon go on ne
cannot learns greater degree OF
and mutual kindness 4 -
And then Peter proceeded to the economic meat by
