Main Street Gossip At least a half m.llion peop e will assemble in Washington D. C. on Saturday, October 3, 1970, to participate in a MARCH FOR VICTORY down Pennsylvania Avenue and at a ral.y at the Washington Monument and the Ellipse accord.ng to the Reverand Dr. Carl Mclntire, Chairman of the March For Victory Committee and President of the International Council of Christian Churches. Leading the paraue oi dignitaries, heads of veterans organizations, church representatives, government officials and m.litary heroes w.L be the Vice President of South Viet Nam. Nguyen Cao Ky. Madame Chiang Kai Shek of Free China and President Park of South Korea have a.so been invited to attend and to address the rally. Dr. Mclnt.re stated that the march and rally are for the purpose of undergirding the American and All.ed forces which are fighting the Communists in South V.et Nam and to persuade the Nixon administration to take the restr.ctions off American mi’itary commanders and allow them to win the war which he said commanders in the field had told him recently, while he was in Saigon as the guest of General Abrams, could be won Within a few weeks' time. "We are for peace through total victory," Dr. Mclntire said. "Why shou d we send our best youths ever to fight in a 'NoMin war and then have them sent home either in caskets or to f.ll up veterans hospitals as casulties? We believe as the late m.litary genius General Douglas MacArthur to d the Congress of the United States, that in war there is no substitute for victory. We are at war whether the doves in the United States Senate, in the State Department or among the so-called opin.on molders of American thought will adm.t it or not. We are at war in South Viet Nam and in the streets of America where revolutionaries are attacking our law-ab.ding citizens and our law enforcement off.cers. all on the pretext that they do not like what we are doing in trying to save a small country from being taken over completely by a godless. materialistic communism " Dr. Mclntire said that chartered planes and buses will come from every part of the Un ted States for the October 3 Washington parade and rally.

the fall, around October. Peonies should be pl mted where they will have adequate room, free air circulation, full sunlight and some protection from strong w 4 nds.
