Dear Secretary of State Kissinger,

Each time we see your name in the news, it always
seems your are being given a very, very hard job. Jobs
which would be impossible for anyone else, but you always
make things work out right. You truly have a gift for
making peace and you deserve all the credit in the world.

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, may I please
have your autograph and picture? And if you possibly
could, may I have Shirley Temple's autograph and picture,
too? I saw you on television talking to Mrs. Black and
it was so kind of you to give her such encouragement and
to offer your help.

Thank you.

## National News and Comment

The Aerospace Defense Command Small Arms Championships for 1971 will be held 7-24 June at Tyndall AFB, Florida.

Each air division, the 4600th Air Base Wing at Ent AFB, Colo (to include all units of the Ent AFB complex), and the Air Defense Weapons Center will enter teams in pistol, smallbore rifle, and high-power rifle competition.

From the winners of the ADC championships, teams will be selected to represent the command in the All Air Force Championships, slated to be held in July at Lackland AFB, Texas.

Aerospace Defense Command personnel who are nearing retirement or separation from active military service have been reminded to submit paperwork far enough in advance to allow for a complete medical examination and of their individual responsibility to meet all appointments.

This reminder came from Maj Gen R G DuPont, Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, Military Personnel, at the Air Force Military Personnel Center.

More than 1,200 National Guardsmen assisted in disaster relief operations in six states hit by tornados, showstorms, and earthquakes during the week of 21-25 February. Involvement of National Guard personnel was heaviest in the Mississippi Delta area where upwards of 50 tornadoes struck, leaving an estimated 90 persons killed, several hundred injured and thousands homeless.

On the West Coast, Guardsmen hauled water to 12 schools in the quake-rocked Los Angeles area during 22-24 February. Heavy snowstorms and high winds isolated major sections of Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and the Texas Panhandle, necessitating state call-outs of Army and Air Guardsmen. C-124 aircraft of the Oklahoma ANG were used to airdrop 300 tons of hay to snowbound cattle. Guardsmen assisted civil authorities in moving stranded motorists to safety, providing emergency evacuation of sick persons to hospitals and transporting police, fire, and medical personnel to isolated areas.

An Aerospace Defense Command special recognition plaque for sustained superior achievement in flying safety for the past 8 years was recently awarded to the Air National Guard's 112th Fighter Group at Great-Pittsburgh Airport, Pennsylvania. The plaque was presented to Col Edward J Bollen, Group Commander, by Maj Gen Horace A Hanes, ADC Vice Commander.

The Groups 48th Fighter Interceptor Squadron was commended for its outstanding flying safety record since March 13, 1963. Since that time, the unit completed 96 months of accident-free operations, while flying more than 45,000 hours in F-102 and T-33 aircraft in direct support of the Air Defense Mission. (ADCPS)

NOTE: We inadvertently omitted in the cover story in the last Defender that Gen Ray A Robinson is the Inspector General of ADC.

The nation's first Naval and Naval Air Reserve Forces were organized in the National Guard.

Dear Dr. Kissinger:

On 14 May, the citizens of Southern Idaho were honored to have heard Mr. Donald Brewster, a member of your staff, present a great case for this country's position with respect to Southeast Asia.

Enclosed is a copy of a letter to Mr. Frank Barnett who assisted us in presenting the National Defense Forum, together with clippings from newspapers throughout the Valley. In addition to general publicity, Mr. Brewster addressed all 1200 students of one of our local high schools for approximately 30 minutes. He received a standing ovation as he started and another one as he finished. We were extremely pleased with his fine presentations.

All the co-sponsors of this event are deeply grateful to Mr. Brewster, personally, and to you for making his services available in our efforts to focus attention on the serious problems faced by this country. I feel safe in saying that the President enjoys the support of the majority of Idaho citizens and the Idaho Congressional Delegation with the exception of our senior Senator. We will continue to do the best we can in support of the President's efforts.

Dear Frank:

The co-sponsors of the National Defense Forum held in Boise on 14 May express their sincere appreciation for your assistance in making it possible.

The television news coverage was good on both the CBS and NBC outlets. You and Don Brewster were featured on two newscasts on the CBS station; Tom Wurtz was featured on two newscasts on the NBC station; and Dick Allen was featured on the Sunday Evening Weekend CBS News. We had some publicity of the event on a controversial local radio station, but I don't believe they carried any news of the speakers' remarks. I am enclosing a copy of the newspaper coverage throughout the Valley that we managed to clip. I am quite well pleased with the event except that the live audience was too small and the local paper did not assign a reporter to cover the substance of Don Brewster and Dick Allen. Maybe as the national situation gets worse, which I feel is certain to happen, more people will share our concern.

Consistent with our previous correspondence, I think you will want to reimburse the Idaho Air Force Association $324 for Mr. Brewster's air transportation. (Please make check payable to Idaho Air Force Association, c/o Mr. Donald G. Troyer, Box 1098, Boise, Idaho 83701). We took care of the local expenses and Tom Wurtz's travel and honorarium.

I would appreciate your evaluation of the event, realizing of course, that you had to depart early. Again, many thanks from all of the co-sponsors.

It's your ECONOMY

By Carl H. Madden, Chief Economist
Chamber of Commerce
of the United States

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF THE UNITED STATES

This year the U.S. Department of Labor started supplementing its unemployment statistics with publication of "job vacancy" data, referring to an immediately available opening for which an employer is actively seeking a worker. Until 1970 the only official measure of labor market "tightness" or "ease" was the unemployment rate—a low rate meant a tight market; a high rate meant an easy market. Now, with job vacancy information, we are in a better position to answer the question, "What has happened to the demand for labor?" Unemployment figures tell us mainly what has happened to the supply of labor; job vacancy data tell us what has happened to the demand for it. Two facts stand out clearly when we compare these different rates: (1) Generally speaking, when one of the rates rises, the other falls; and (2) even when unemployment is high, job vacancies exist, and unemployment could be reduced if a better geographical and occupational match could be made between the jobless and available jobs.

WHERE THE ACTION IS.....

**BOISE MUSIC WEEK** is here... and the hard working committee members, workers, singers, and music loving people who have worked so hard to produce this year's program deserve the full accolades of Idaho's Capital City. An added treat this year will be the famed U. S. Army Field Band and Chorus who will lead off the week of activities.

**MEMORIAL DAY** is on a new date this year... and most members may not have watched out for this. It now will be on the last Monday of May each year or May 31st. in 1971. Plan accordingly.

**VETERAN'S JOB FAIR** attendance and participation was good... and members of the Armed Forces Committee, the Idaho Department of the American Legion, and the Idaho Department of Employment were all high in their praise of the employers — totalling some fifty — for their participation in this important program. It is estimated that in excess of 500 veterans attended the program which was held at the Rodeway Inn.

**BOISE'S DRUG PROBLEM** and its effects on the community is a study being undertaken by the Governmental Affairs Committee. Committee members have expressed concern over the growing problem across the nation, and have agreed to investigate what might be taking place in this area.

**TREASURE VALLEY BUSINESS DIRECTORY** listing over 1,200 firms engaged in manufacturing, wholesaling, transportation, and licensed contracting is now available to all interested members. This up-dated publication includes all counties in the Treasure Valley area, and is the resource of assistance by several local Chambers. This is a small charge of $5.00 per copy for those interested in having a copy for reference.

## Speaker Defends U.S. Viet Policy

BOISE—The United States posture in Indochina was soundly defended at the National Defense Forum here Friday while a security specialist warned that this nation may not be able to defend itself or allies within five years.

Issuing the warning was Frank Barnett of New York City, president of the National Strategy Center. He made his statement at a morning session of the Form II which was hosted by the Idaho Air Force Association.

The Indochina picture was sketched from the Nixon administration VI inoint by Donald C. Brewster of the Vietnam Desk, National Security Council, the White House.

A surprise to the some 100 plus persons attending the noon luncheon session was guest speaker Dr. Senidi Petrovnov, Soviet Cultural Ministry, who turned out to be a Naval Reserve officer, Tom Wirts of Denver. Wirts, as "Petrovnov," rankled the audience with his brief speech and subsequent question-answer period. He then revealed his identity by dropping his accent and urging the members of the audience to exercise caution in believing everything they see and hear.

Wirts suggested "we would have a better America" if attention were paid to (1) faith (2) individuality (3) courage (4) integrity (5) discipline, and (5) vision.

Barnett said, "Unless our country understands the need to balance priorities to maintain a defense shield as well as implementing social reform, by 1976 America will be backed into a corner by the Soviet nuclear superiority and will be unable to protect our allies and indeed almost unable to protect (Continued on Page 2, Co. 1)

## Speaker Defends War Policy

(Continued from Page 1)
ourselves."

He said the Russians now have a six-to-one lead over the U.S. in surface-to-air missiles and seven - to - one over the number of interceptors. Also, they are rapidly building up their naval forces.

Brewster said that the POW problem probably will not be solved until the war is over. "They (Hanoi) will not release the prisoners until they have milked the issue for all it is worth."

He said that North Vietnam won the war against the French in Paris, and not on the battle field. He warned against a like situation here. He said that South Vietnam now "has its health back" and that there "has been constitutional development in South Vietnam which is not appreciated in the United States."

Idaho Free Press, Saturday, May 15, 1971

HE SHOOK UP THE National Defense Forum luncheon Friday in Boise. As Dr. Senidi Petrovnov from the Soviet Cultural Ministry, Tom Wirts, a Naval Reserve officer from Denver had the audience at the Rodeway Inn "snowed" during a talk and subsequent question-answer period. At the conclusion of the noon session, the speaker dropped his accent and revealed his true identity, urging his hearers to not believe everything they hear and see.

Armed Forces Day in the United States was established in 1950, based on the belief that the American people have a right to know about their Armed Forces. There has been a policy since that time for many military installations to have an open house annually. This year, we will be coorpating with Mountain Home AFB in the observance of Armed Forces Day. As a part of the open house program, the famous Navy Blue Angels will perform their aerial demonstration. I encourage you to take your family and friends to Mountain Home AFB on 22 May 1971 to show them some of the latest equipment and to meet the professionals who make up our "Forces for Freedom."

## POINTS TO PONDER

We pay a heavy price for fear of failure. It is a powerful obstacle to growth. It assures the progressive narrowing of the personality and prevents exploration and experimentation. There is no learning without some difficulty and some fumbling. If you want to keep learning, you must keep risking failure all your life.

Fear of failure breeds timidity. It makes airmen hesitate. It encourages them to turn their backs on challenge and innovation.

The issue at stake is not failure, itself. It is a question of attitude. An airman's attitude can strengthen or destroy him.

If he regards each mistake as a setback in his struggles for achievement, this is exactly what it will become - a setback. If he looks on mistakes as building blocks, instead of fumbling blocks, his failures will strengthen him.

The successful airman appreciates the fact that failure is nothing more than a state of mind. He believes that the way to greet failure is not with fear, but with curiosity. Why did the mistake happen? How can I best avoid it again?

Mistakes for this airman are guile depots, direction finders in the endless search for the most elusive of all goals - perfection.

The sobering truth is that there is more to be feared in not making mistakes than in making them. Sound paradoxical? It's not.

## Your Credit Union

Your Credit Union announces another first with protection for its depositors. We are now covered by the new Federal Share Insurance which became a law October 19,1970. The share insurance program authorizes the Administrator of the National Credit Union Administration to insure certain accounts up to a maximum of $20,000.00. Share insurance should help maintain sound conditions in the Credit Union movement and protect those insured in the event of failure of an insured Credit Union due to insolvency or bankruptcy as determined by the administrator. As a shareholder in an insured Credit Union, you do not pay for share insurance protection directly; your Credit Union pays for the cost of the insurance through annual premiums. We are proud to say we are among the first to qualify by meeting standards set out by the Administrator.

Note this is in addition to your Life Savings and Loan Protection Insurance we already carry for our members. Your amount of savings up to $2,000.00 is protected in accordance to the date of deposit. Loans up to $5,000.00 are also covered in event of death of the member.

Your Credit Union has grown by 110 new members this quarter of 1971. Welcome to all new members. We trust you will use all of our services by doing your saving and borrowing with your fellow members. A good Credit Union member increases his share balance and pays all loans on time. In case of difficulty while repaying a loan, he has kept in touch with the Credit Union and made needed adjustments in his repayment plan. He has tried to become aware of what the Credit Union really is, and what it can mean to him.

At your Credit Union, a "good name" will enable us to provide the very best service to you. You'll usually be able to get quicker credit, more credit, and more leeway in emergencies.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS: Be sure to notify the office at once any change of address. Several statements were returned this quarter, so we know a few of you goofed.

## ING GOLF TOURNAMENT

A letter from Maj Gen George B Bennett announced the start of the Annual Idaho National Guard Golf Tournament. This tournament will consist of 36-hole play on any golf course as long as it has a par rating of 70 or more. The two 18-hole rounds are to be played between 3 May and 25 June 1971. Those who desire to enter the tournament should fill out an application, attach $1.00 as entry fee, and mail to Maj Jack Long P. O. Box 1098, Boise, Idaho 83701. Applications are available from MSgt Glenn Russell in Materiel Control at the Hangar.

All score cards must be validated by the club pro prior to actual play, and must be attested by another contestant in the tournament. Attested score cards must be mailed to Major Long after each 18 holes of play.

There will be 8 to 10 flights in the tournament; a flight for the beginning golfer as well as the seasoned golfer. Flights will be established based on the average scores or handicaps entered on the application. No one will be eliminated.

All entry fees will be used for trophies and merchandise prizes. Winners will be based on medal score. Greens fees must be paid by the contestant.

As a equal to this tournament, 20 of the best golfers will be selected as the Idaho National Guard Golf Team to represent our state in the Idaho-Montana National Guard Golf Tournament. This tournament will be in Montana on a date to be announced. The tournament was established in 1965. We won the traveling trophy each year except 1969. We need your help to retain this trophy in Idaho.

## SOFTBALL TO START

The 124th Fighter Group will again field a team in the City All-Employee Softball League. The team is open to all interested Air Guardmen, with several positions still to be filled.

League play is scheduled to begin on 10 May. Our games will be played on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights at Ann Morrison Park. The full league schedule will be published in the next issue of the Defender.

All those interested in participating should contact MSgt Glenn Russell at Materiel Control in the Hangar, Ext. 37, or Maj Leland Christophersen in Maintenance Control, Ext. 35.

## BASKETBALLERS WIN

The Idaho Air Guard Basketball Team brought home all the marbles in the All Employee Basketball League this past season.

The end of regular league play saw the 124th team finish in a 3-way tie for first place with Idaho Power and Continental Life. All three teams had identical 7-1 records. Mike Christophersen led the team scoring for the regular season.

All league teams then competed in a single elimination tournament, with the Air Guard roundballers coming through undefeated to capture that first place trophy. In tournament play, the Idaho Air Guardsman routed Albertsons in the first game. The second game was sweet revenge for the Guardsmen as they easily handled the Continental Life team 74-48. This team was the only team to top the Air Guard in regular season play. The final game was a fitting climax to any tournament. In a nip and tuck game, the Air Guard five prevailed over an aggressive Idaho Power team 55-52. Final game scoring was led by Mike Christophersen who got 25 points. Rich Allen garnered 16 points and 16 rebounds in the same game.

Other Air Guard team members included: Co-coaches Chuck Barnes and Glenn Russell, Marion Carpenter, Ron Brown, John Browning, Dean Averill, Bill Leseberg, and Glenn Clark.

## PLANTATION WILL HOST ANG GOLF TOURNAMENT

All score cards must be validated by the club pro prior to actual play and must be attested by another contestant in the tournament.

## Safety Tip

You're in the merging lane entering a multi-lane highway. Your chances of merging safely will be best if you:

1. Pick up speed and try to enter at the same speed at which the rest of the traffic is traveling.

2. Come to a complete stop, look things over, then edge out slowly into traffic.

3. Slow your speed as you enter so you can brake quickly, if necessary.

Dear Don:

Thank you for your letter of December 11. It's
good to hear from you. I've been waiting to
answer until I was more sure of my plans for
the end of this month. It now appears that I will
be on the West Coast from December 26 through
the first week of the new year, so I won't be in
town during the American Historical Association
meeting. I'm sorry to miss connections; would
have liked to see you.

Please stay in touch and write again when you're
planning to be in town.

Best wishes for the holidays and the coming year.

Dear Professor Kissinger:

After having informed you in my letter of October 14, 1968 that I had taken up my new assignment with the German Embassy, you were kind enough to let me have an answer right away, i.e. on October 24, 1968. I am en-closing a photostatic copy of that letter.

I did not follow-up on your suggestion that I get in touch with your office for an appointment at that time because I believed that you had more important tasks at hand after the Presidential election. I am sure that this still holds true at the present time. Nevertheless, I would consider it a great privilege if you could receive me for a courtesy call some time during the next weeks.

Dear Henry:

I thought you might enjoy checking this
against the current television appearances.
Somebody obviously read it. The President
even got a "favorable" from the New York
Times in December.

Happy New Year.

Mr. Robert C. Odle, Jr.
The White House
Washington, D. C.

Dear Mr. Odle:

The man is shy and uncomfortable in the presence of audience and
camera. Lots of coaching and practice may make him feel more at
ease, and capable of posing as happy, confident, secure, gregarious,
even triumphant, but the camera will faithfully record the under-
lying stiffness, and an audience accustomed to polished television
personalities will read the ease and pose as somehow hostile,
threatening, mean, arrogant, indecisive, inconsistent, weak, dis-
honest, dangerous.

Failure to satisfy the popular need for authoritarian reassurance
produces a secondary fury, and unless you understand the problems
and screen all tapes before release, you make it possible for clever
adversaries to edit any speech down to nothing more than its most
egregious lapses which can then be presented on the late news as
representative clips.

Style should be tailored to avoid the above negative responses and
to produce positive responses by presenting a pleasing personal
image congruent with the underlying shyness and camera/audience-
induced discomfort.

For example, never photograph him from below looking up, which makes
him look threatening. Never let him look directly at the camera,
which makes him look mean and dangerous while he looks at the camera
and uncertain, indecisive and dishonest when he looks away. Never
let him lift his arms in gestures of victory or triumph which appear
hostile, particularly when accompanied by a broad, inconsistent grin,
which rings false. Never surround him with too many people who make
him seem too powerful on the one hand, and on the other hand make
it obvious that none of them wish to touch him and he cannot stand
it to be too close to them. Never intercut him with shots of wildly

cheering audiences because it will always be clear from their faces and his that they do not love him, he does not love them, and they are cheering for something else, unspecified, which is somehow reminiscent of other crowds considered frightening. And whenever possible, never release live footage or raw, unedited film.

Please remember that people like shy people. You do not even mind uncomfortable people, unless they make you uncomfortable as well. You can even accept shyness and discomfort, provided the rest of the package is sufficiently appealing, in an authoritarian figure. The other elements you should seek are loneliness, a strong sense of duty, responsibility, decency and morality, thoughtfulness, carefulness, fairness, a determination to see all sides of a question, the courage to act promptly for the best interests of the country regardless of political expediency, a practical sense of the distinction between what is real and what will work and what is a myth and impractical, a sense of humor about his own limitations, and the good-natured willingness to call them as he sees them and do the best he can.

Photograph him from above, to make him seem more humble and lonely. Let him keep his hands low, and his gestures to a minimum. Occasionally, he does seem to have a shy smile and a nice sense of humor, but have him restrict them exclusively to matters which are mildly self-deprecating. Have him appear with one, and perhaps two, respectful and generally appealing other persons, in a quiet, dignified setting, so he can look at them, not at the camera, and so that the second camera on them will give you a fair chance to cut away from him if he should happen to do or say something you would like to eliminate from the program. If you have edited the footage before it is released, it will be vastly more difficult for anyone to re-edit the same footage against you thereafter.

And, finally, you should carefully screen his speeches in advance to be certain they are consistent with the foregoing. For example, he should never say, as at Anaheim, "I am the President and they will not do what I want," when he could perfectly well have said, "You elected me President to do certain things which I promised you, and I have done some of the things you wanted, but others I have not been able to do for you, because these people have prevented it, and if you still want the same things, and I think you do want them, you should elect to public office people who will give them to you."

I am writing all of this from memory, and could undoubtedly comment
