To The Editor: team
Now that a U.S. pingpong
ad-
has been welcomed to Peking, the
ministration in Washington appears
overjoyed and they are making
speeches about more friendly rela-
tions with China.
To the inexperienced it would ap-
pear that our policy towards China is
one of peace and benevolence. How-
ever, knowing that our government is
run by staunch anti-communist fanat-
ics, and diehard right wing extrem-
ists, I suspect the CIA is frantically
training its agents to play ping-pong
and have secretly let contracts to the
electronics industry to devise ways of
putting spy and surveillance equip-
ment inside the ping-pong balls.

to the next generation yet unborn, I
could not help but reflect about the
horrible escalation of the war in Indo V.
China, the loss of 45,000 of our youth,
the emasculation of the poverty pro-
grans, the imprisonment of the wary . ':
tide of unemployment and intIaticn,
and the secret machinations of the
C.I.A. and State Dept. in conspiring
f[1'[Iie overthrow of democratic peo-
ples' governments and our huge sup-
port for Military fascist dictatorships
all over the world!
To me, tricky Dick's stage-ma r-
aged performance was a masterpiece
in the a, t of throwing the bull into the.
es of a long suffering intelligent'.
