they will be right. Either we have laws or we don't.
If we do. then the laws should be enforced. If they aren't
enforced, then we don't have laws. If they are selectively enforced then they are worse than either of the above. This
would seem to be a case of selective (the little guy ain't got a
chance) enforcement, which leads to an elite few (with a
bunch of clout) doing pretty much what they want and the
public and its laws be damned.
CWLP claims an "arbitrary and unreasonable hardship"
in having to remove and control sulfur dioxide emissions
from its Lakeside and V.Y. Dallman power plants.
Unreasonable to whom? The people who have to breathe the
junk that CWLP pump into the air? The suppliers of high
sulfur coal? The big-wigs at CWLP? Just who has the
unreasonable or arbitrary hardship imposed on him?
It is much like a junkie. If he is forced to forcgo his
'snow white powder he suffers what is to him an "Arbitrary
and unreasonable hardship." Yet according to the law and
the forces of "good" we must yank him from his snowbank
for he is a menace to society. Or, in this state, a pregnant

the taxpayers of the state. Buf, a n k she can afford the
necessary fare and medical expenses, carry the baby she
must.
Those are just two examples of everyday "arbitrary and
unreasonable hardship." Surely there are many more. Any
dolt could wme up with half a dozen and not sprain his
brain in the process. -Yet, City Water, Light and Power expects to be granted a variance for their "arbitrary or
unreasonable hardship."
Any they will be granted a variance unless enough
people raise hell. It's a simple thing to do. The a d d m is in

REVEALED IN PENTAGON PAPERS
U.S. SUBVERTED VIETNAM AGREEMENT
BY RICHARD DAMASHEK
This a r t i c l e i s the f i r s t of a
series I
hope t o w r i t e deal i n g w i t h major revelatlons

Some o f the most revealing information contained i n the Pentagon papers has t o do w i t h

p a r t i c u l a r l y i n Vietnam. For as long as
can remember ( e a r l y 1960's) the U.S. has been
charging t h a t the Comnunist v i o l a t i o n s o f the
Geneva Agreements o f 1954 provided the

So f a r as I know there has never been o f f i c i a l recognftion of t h e U.S. v i o l a t i o n s

those agreements.
The Pentagon Papers reveals t h a t
the U.S.
n o t only never intended t o accept those agreements, but even before they were
signed was
making plans t o subvert them. I n fairness, i t
must be pointed o u t t h a t the
reason f o r the
attempt a t subversion was the fear on

that
Vietnam would soon become c o m u n i s t i f we d i d
