My son worked at the main cafeteria at Rhein-Main
Air Force Base in Germany during 1969. He never re-
ceived his W-2 form to enable him to submit his income
tax return. Letters and personal contacts by friends have
not helped in obtaining the earnings statement. Even
though the refund would not be a great sum, it is impor-

He said four factors will
determine the draft call
for the remainder of the
year. Primarily, he said,
they will be the effect of a
new $3 billion military pay
raise and getting more vol-
unteers and retaining
them as well as men al-
ready in the armed serv-
ices.
Laird said two other fac-
tors involved are U.S.
withdrawal from the Viet-
nam war and the Congres-
sional mandate that the
Army be cut to 892,000
men by mid-1972 — which
Laird called a cut of 70.000
man-years — would also
contribute to the low draft
calls for the year.

with all the matter-of-fact
bravado you see in a little
boy who thinks he can han-
dle things:
"I’ll shoot that mean old
doctor if he puts that shot-

Tim was 14 when some-
one in the principal's of-
fice at Pierce Middle
School in Grosse Pointe,
Mich., called to tell me
that he had been caught
sniffing glue in the rest-
room.
Three years later the
cleaning woman showed fy marijuana,
me the spoon and the syr-
inge she had found under
Tim’s pillow, and I knew
the full extent of my Hell.
I replay those three
years, from the glue to the
needle, constantly. I want
the chance to redo them,
to react differently. Where
should I have noticed, for
instance, that my first-
born was not a boy who
was
with dope on a dare but
someone with a weakness,
a susceptibility that he
could not deny?
When — had I been able
to act differently — might
I have nipped this some-
where short of heroin?
Where might I have made
one more call, earlier, to
get him the help he need-
ed?
My first reaction when
they called from Pierce
about the glue was —
please say the words, don’t
just read them; it could
sound like you — "Not my
boy, not my son."

yourself?) saying to the

"Mr. Nixon, you set the
date—we’ll evacuate.”
The veterans were oc-
cupying the 100-foot-square
pedestal of the 305-foot-
hlgh national monument at
the entrance to New York
harbor. Their takeover
was described initially by
Vietnam Veterans Against
the war as "a symbolic ac-
tion ... to show support
for any person who refuses
to kill . ”
In Philadelphia, the vet-
erans took over the histor-
ic Betsy Ross home for 45
minutes.
"This house is liberat-
ed,” one of the veterans
shouted as the group
walked into the house.
A clerk at the concession
counter said the occupa-
tion was peaceful, that
there was no shoving and
little shouting. Employes
were allowed to remain in-
side.
From the roof, the veter-
ans read a statement to
police and a crowd that
gathered. Forty-five min-
utes later, police broke in
the front door and the
—protestors, left peacefully.
Larry Schmitz, a spokes-
man for the veterans, said
the men had planned to
stay in the building as long
as possible, perhaps until
New Year’s Day.
The men at Travis, who
officials said were aided
by three former soldiers

sanity and insanity, and I
suspect It may be some-
where behind me, crossed
somewhere during these
last 18 months.
I am an adult woman
who is afraid to go home
at night, because I have
become used to fearing
what I would find there. At
work, I am terrified by my
telephone: too often it has
rung to tell me that more
of my life has crumbled.
And late at night, when
my whole being cries for
the sleep it needs as surely
as I need food, I cannot
sleep.
I am the sum of these
months of fear and help-
lessness. Nothing prepared
me to guard my own home
against my own son; noth-
ing prepared me to watch
him slide toward destruc-
tion.
Now there is another
sign that frightens me. v
I find myself turning
away from the problem
and dreaming of other
days, when Tim was a
child and none of this had
happened to us. I know
this is wrong; if I am to
cope, if I am to save my-
self, I must face facts.
Squarely. But I am drawn
in this other direction; I
want what I know I cannot
have, the chance to start
over again.
One image runs through
these dreams.

diatrician, where he is to
get his booster shots. He is _____w

And I remember how
cleraly I knew, when the
cleaning woman showed
me the spoon and the sy-
ringe, that for some time
Tim and I had slowly been
descending the rungs to-
ward our Hell.
All I can tell you, from
my experience, is that
even with a problem in the
house, even after you have
been told about the glue
and have learned to identi-
, the days
slide by and become
weeks, and the weeks
months. In my case, as
time slid by, everything
got worse.
