WASHINGTON, D.C. — "Dewey Canyon III," was a unique type of demonstration—for the first time which was still being on. Because protesting against a war which they had participated in and in which was still going on. Because demonstration had an impact larger than any previous one to the same extent, the limited size. For most of the week about 1,000 veterans were present, and for the final event—there were over 2,000 detainees—there were over 2,000 furlows.
The main objective of "Dewey Canyon III" was to lobby the various branches of government for an immediate and to the war, and that it should benefit and investigate of Vietnam war crimes at all levels of command. For most of the week, vets were lobbying the congressmen from their own office in the major actions by the VVAW.
The first major action was on Monday (the 19th) when approximately 60 vets marched to the Vietnam war dead honor Vietnam war dead. When the delegation reached the cemetery they found the gates of a small church and mothers of Gold Star winners and two Vietnamese wives, were not carrying two wreaths to honor war dead. In spite of the fact that the vets were given no reason to leave, they collapsed, they left the area peacefully.
The next day the vets returned to lay the wreaths; the men were prepared to mount a 84-hour vigil and the wreaths were opened. This time, however, they were admitted and they walked through the cemetery to lay the wreaths.
The next major incident was the much-debated permit to board on the mail by the Court itself. A federal court first arrived in Washington, the courts presented them with an amendment allowing camping on the mail. The attorney former S. Atkinson lawyer, former S. Atkinson lawyer, appeared the injunction to the Federal district court Monday and the injunction was removed.

On Tuesday, however, the injunction was reinstated by the judge against Burger. The vets, after a close vote of 480 to 400, decided to stay on the mall in defiance of the court's order that prisoners of war if they were arrested Tuesday night no one came to push the vets off the mall.
A member of a Marine batalla on riot alert came and informed the vets that if the Marines were called to remove a manhole, 600 Marines would throw down their weapons and join the vets.
A park policeman, when asked why the vets hadn't been seen, said that "there are anything unusual—there are just some tourists there having a good time."
On Wednesday, under heavy pressure from Congress, the court again removed the injunction barring camping on the
On Thursday, a delegation of 200 vets went to the Supreme Court to demand that the court rule on the constitutionality of the Army Corps' military cemetery, the doors were locked and the vets started a vigil on the
steps of the Supreme Court building. After about an hour, Washington D.C. police arrived and informed the delegation that they were violating an ordinance against blocking of an entrance to a public
After the vets cleared an aisle up the middle of the stairs, 110 of them were arrested for disorderly conduct. The vets moved to the police buses peacefully with their heads singing "America's most beautiful." Even the police had a hard time keeping a straight face.
Friday, after a short trial, the 110 were cleared of the charges and bond was returned.
The main event of the week occurred on Friday, as the vets conducted a medal-returning game in a single file, the vets walked by the steps of the capitol flinging down their medals. Along with the Vietnam veterans, several Vietnamese soldiers returned their son's medals, and World War I, World War II and Korean war veterans also participated. The returning of the team was the last event by the VVAW.
Perhaps the most productive of the week was the individual congressman, which unfortunately didn't get much
Many congressmen admitted that so many veterans were aggronized war and that perhaps something was to gain from listening to them.
Another positive aspect of "Dewey Canyon III" is the publicity it gained for the peace movement, slowing down in the last year. "Dewey Canyon III" should ma. people realize that the longer peace is not over until the last American soldier leaves Vietnam.

Hess Foresees Trouble
The Kansas Legislature had a tough session but paused Paul Heess, R-Wichita and KU law student, for the next session to be tougher.
Hess said the legislature would have to raise taxes and reap benefits from the districts in next year's session which will be 30 days shorter than this year's. The constitution sets out a tax system for 90 days, and other sessions at 90 days.
