LETTER TO THE EDITOR McFadden Speaks
Dear Editor: In the months prior to the November 1966 general election, I was the Democratic Congressional nominee for the second district of Indiana.. As I ran for office I frequently struggled with my own conscience and my position on the Viet Nam war. I took the position of supporting, moderately, the President’s stance on the war. It was possible, it seemed to me, to accept the idea that he was doing all that could be done to bring about a reasonable peace. Since that time my position has changed considerably. I no longer feel that the direction we are taking as a nation can bring about that hoped-for peace. Con-

tinued escalation, unwillingness to respond to Hanoi’s overtures and the often senseless cruelty thrust on North and South Vietnamese, alike, make it impossible for me to support our involvement there. Which leads me to ask the question, will there really be any choice in November in light of this? I am willing to threw my support behind groups such as the Hoosiers for a Democratic Alternative. And, this seems to be the direction not only for Hoosiers but for most of us as discontented Democrats. Sincerely, Ralph G. MeFaddeir 310 Riverside Circle Ellicott City. Md. 21043
