CENTRAL OFFICE

President Nixon's choice for U.S. ambassador to Sweden, Dr. Jerome H. (Brud) Holland, has strong ties in Racine.

The 54-year-old Negro college president played a major role in the conception and continuation of the Racine Environment Committee's (REC) scholarship program for minority group students.

Two years ago Holland met informally with a group of local civic leaders at Wingspread and pointed out the loss to the nation because of the wasted lives of Negro youth who weren't going on to education after high school.

He blamed the small percentage of Negro college students on lack of funds and a feeling on their part of skepticism and hopelessness in regard to higher education.

He urged that special scholarships be established for minority group youths whose formal academic training otherwise would virtually end with a high school diploma.

His talk provided inspiration and direction for REC which followed through in creating the scholarship program. A number of local industries invested funds in the future of minority group high school graduates, many of whom might be considered "high risks" academically.

The program thus far is one of the most successful endeavors of REC. The first year 92 students received $55,000 in "no-strings attached" scholarships. In 1969 about $60,000 was granted to 137 students, a number of them already in college through initial scholarships.

Until 1968 the number of Racine black and Mexican-American high school graduates continuing their education was only 15 per cent compared with 55 per cent of the whites in the graduating class. Through the REC scholarship program, the number of minority group students pursuing higher education has been brought up to 45 per cent.

The REC office now is interviewing scholarship candidates for next fall and the new batch also includes some whites who might have been excluded from higher education because of need.

Brud Holland, former all-American football star at Cornell University, is president of the National Association of Negro Business Men, Inc.

DR. JEROME H. HOLLAND

... has Racine ties ...

Council and has received many honorary degrees and numerous awards from religious, civic and fraternal organizations.

He became involved in Racine affairs through his friendship with a fellow trustee of Cornell, Samuel C. Johnson, local industrialist.

Holland's approach to upgrading black people is practical and effective. He is fully aware of the abuse that Negroes have suffered in American history, but does not dwell on it. Holland goes one or two steps further and harnesses the spirit of black protest to ways of achieving the goals of better education, better jobs and more entrepreneurial opportunities for Afro-Americans.

In this, he expresses an optimism not often displayed by other black leaders. Holland minces no words in saying there have been years of neglect as far as minority group people are concerned, but points out that now there is more real economic and social opportunity for them than ever before.

The ambassador-designate has been described as "one of the best contemporary examples of the outstanding citizen, a man devoted to the future, through education and training, of all Americans, but most especially of the young men and women who are running to catch up in the race for excellence and its rewards." The ambassador was born in Sweden has spent many years in the United States, reflecting the complex American relations between the two countries. In the war years, Dr. Jerome Holland will have to improve these relations if he is to be effective in the past. He is widely made a wise man. Brud Holland to represent the United States in Sweden.

Letter ?

18 February, 1970.

Amongst the French journalists visiting Washington next week during President Pompidou's visit will be one whom I think you might be interested to meet, if you can spare the time. He is Monsieur Jean-Raymond Tournoux, Director (and in effect Chief Political Editor) of the weekly magazine 'Paris-Match' (roughly the French equivalent to 'Life' magazine).

Tournoux is an old friend of mine whom I have known for the past 15 years. He has, in my view, the merit of being a provincial Frenchman, though long based in Paris; and in his earlier days was the Political Correspondent of one of France's leading provincial papers, the 'Progrès de Lyons'. He subsequently wrote a number of interesting political books, including three about General de Gaulle, of whom he made a particular study. He moved to 'Paris-Match' some years ago and is now a considerable figure in French political journalism.

Do not be deceived by his quiet manner and rather solid appearance. This is a very shrewd and sophisticated political brain and he knows as much about what makes French politics tick as any French journalist I can think of. On the other hand, he talks virtually no English and it is sometimes a little difficult to get him to unbutton. But if you or one of your staff can manage to achieve this, I think you would find his views shrewd, perceptive and well-informed.

I have taken the liberty of giving him a letter of introduction to you because I know him to be worthwhile. But I also know how appallingly busy you are (and Tournoux also of course understands this perfectly) so that, if you or one of your people cannot in fact manage to see him, if he approaches you, there will be no skin off anybody's nose.

Reading accounts of a recent visit to Washington made me faintly nostalgic! But in other respects I have no regrets and am finding this particular posting of fascinating interest at this time. I wish we could see each other and exchange ideas. But I suppose there is no hope of your getting away and coming over to Europe. At least this letter gives me the opportunity to send you my warm regards.

Dear Henry,

A fast note to thank you for your time,
courtesy, cooperation, and hospitality of last
week.

I am most appreciative.

I think your suggestion of the Kissinger Open
Door Policy for Concerned Students will certainly
help reduce the despair quotient. If I can imple-
ment this with publicity of any sort, please let
me know.

Today's mail brought a most intriguing sort of
question, asking "Has Henry Kissinger become the
Otto Preminger of the White House?" It was writ-
ten on University of Chicago stationery.

I probably mentioned to you that each day we
are receiving more and more expose-type mail (sample
enclosed) from young people who feel that the gov-
ernment and other organs of society are unresponsive
or closed to them.

Please keep in touch, and again many thanks for
your kindness.

Dear Mr. Shearer:

I read with interest your article concerning Cambodia in the July 12th issue of Parade. Informative as it was it didn't reveal all the many faces of Cambodia.

Although not a member of the unit concerned these are true facts and the story can be verified in records of the Navy department. In November, 1967 Patrol Squadron 26 of Brunswick Naval Air Station, Brunswick, Maine left for a 6 months deployment to Southeast Asia. Its main segment was based at Sangley Point Naval Station, Republic of the Philippines. There was a small segment detached to Utapao Air Base in southeastern Thailand. The mission of the Thailand unit was to supply aerial surveillance for Market Time operations. It is this group that has never had its story publicly told. To fly from Thailand to the coast of South Vietnam one has to pass by the southern reaches of Cambodia. In the last week of January, 1968 and again in the first week of April, 1968 an aircraft of this squadron was shot down and all crewmembers were lost. The squadron suffered the most severe losses of any Naval air squadron since WW II according to H. Mendel Rivers of the House Armed Services Committee. While in the midst of the shocking tradey the squadron compiled the finest record of any Naval squadron with the same tasks. This includes both East and West coast Naval squadrons who had drawn the same assignment previously. What did the men of this fine outfit receive? Nothing but a few telegrams saying well done, a few airmedals, and the standard award of the South Vietnamese medals. Others have received more for doing less.

I have left out one important detail, but not without reason. I just wanted to separate so that it would stand out more clearly. The responsible party was none other than CAMBODIA. A Cambodian gunboat purposely attracted the attention of the aircraft involved and when they drew close enough it shot them down. This is when Cambodia was ruled by Prince Siahnouk and General Lon Nol was a senior military personage. Naturally at the time the U.S. Government didn't want to infringe on the so-called neutrality of Cambodia. Since when do neutrals shoot down aircraft of other countries?

Well I've said my piece about Cambodia, but as far fetched as what I told you sounds I assure its the absolute truth and is in Naval records.

Mr. Joseph Alsop called with the following, dictated message this morning:

I had a call this morning from Arthur Waldron one of the leaders of the conservative group at Harvard that organized the pro-Nixon teach-in a few weeks ago which the extreme left shouted down. This was the occasion on which Archie Cox actually dared to speak out for the right of free speech.

Young Waldron's group has been thinking about inviting Mr. Kissinger to Harvard. I was in fact called this morning by Waldron to ask my advice about it. I replied that as a friend of Mr. Kissinger I would strongly advise him not to go, because whatever happened there would be a fearful row and in his position he should not be on the front pages any more than necessary. Young Waldron also said that they were about to deny inviting Dr. Kissinger to come up to Harvard, which of course they have not done. He wanted me to pass this message, because he expects the Crimson to call Dr. Kissinger's office probably even today to check on the truth of this denial. He rightly thought it important therefore that the whole facts should be known at once to Mr. Kissinger.

Subsequently, I received a call from Arthur Waldron who explained that he is the chairman of the group on pro-Administration teach-ins at Harvard. They had one that was shouted down and they are now thinking of organizing another. They had thought of inviting Mr. Kissinger and had made some overtures to professor friends of Mr. Kissinger's. However, they are not now thinking of asking Mr. Kissinger and are very embarrassed that this story got out. He expects the Crimson to call on this and we should, he hopes, tell them that we have heard that there was talk of an invitation, that there's not been an invitation. Mr. Waldron says that the Crimson is unscrupulous and will print whatever they feel will make the story.

Should we need to reach Waldron, he can be reached at 617/547-6666.

Mr. Henry Kissinger
The White House
Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. Kissinger:

I am writing as co-chairman of a newly formed Harvard undergraduate group, the Students for a Just Peace, in order to extend to you our invitation to return to Harvard and speak on U.S. foreign policy.

One of the greatest problems at Harvard right now is that sound opinions on foreign policy are simply not being enunciated. The debate, such as it is, on Viet Nam, for example, is completely one-sided, and distinguished among the students by an astonishing lack of information.

Our group has already sponsored a "Counter Teach-In" which, as you are no doubt aware, was broken up by a group of about 100 radicals (in an audience of about 1300, most of whom had come to listen). Rather than giving in to this "McCarthyism" of the Left", however, we are planning to continue our attempt to advocate a sound foreign policy.

If you will accept our invitation in principle, I am confident that some forum where you will be able to speak and answer questions can be arranged. In order to preclude any repetition of the shouting down, etc., we could have a smaller meeting, with an advanced ticket sale or a partially or completely invited audience.

In addition, it might be possible to

arrange for you to speak under different
auspices than ours, if you so wished.

However, I do hope you will consider
our invitation carefully. I believe that
it is vitally important for both the
United States and for Harvard University
that our foreign policy be advocated
actively, and that the initiative should not
pass entirely to the critics. As far as
the university goes, the extent of de facto
restriction of free speech, with consequent
disastrous effects on the whole educational
process, is very disturbing. Your appearance
here would help a great deal in both of these
areas.

In conclusion, let me assure you that
a large section of the Harvard Community
would welcome your appearance warmly.
Many faculty and students support, or are
very sympathetic to, your approach to
foreign policy. Many more would be eager
to hear. I certainly hope you will find
it possible to come.
