Agnew wouldn't let teenage daughter protest VN war
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. (UPI)—Vice-President Spiro Agnew's teen-age friend, Kim, wanted to march in a demonstration on moratorium day but he refused to let her, it was reported Thursday by Newsday.
In a copyright interview with Agnew published in the Long Island newspaper, Newsday, Nick Thimmesch reported from Washington that Kim, 14, wanted to show her support for the moratorium by marching with a black arm band last Wednesday.
"I wouldn't let her," said Agnew, who opposed the moratorium and blasted its leaders in a speech earlier this week. "She was unhappy for about a day, but she got over it. Parental-type power must be exercised. Some parents have forgotten how.
"People in the establishment don't want to say 'no' to young people even if they are wrong. Some self-serving politicians see our huge youth population as a volatile political commodity available for the plucking," he said.
"Youth should challenge the adult generation and put its ideas to test. But they must reason their way, not jump to what they feel is right. Education is a continuing state."
Several senators criticize Agnew
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Sen
Stephen Young, D-Ohio, said
Thursday Vice-President Spiro T
Agnew apparently had come
down with "some violent form of
hoof and mouth disease."
Young and several other senators joined in criticizing Agnew's outburst against Sen. Edmund S. Muskie, D-Maine, and his sharp criticism of antiwar demonstrators.
The vice-president had contended Muskie was playing "Russian roulette" with the national security by proposing a unilateral halt in testing of multiple-warhead missiles.

Address
Agnew told newsmen at the municipal airport he felt the statement, in which he called leaders of the demonstrations "impudent snobs," had been misunderstood and misinterpreted.
State
"In my speech I made perfectly clear that I was not criticizing all the demonstrations that marched in the moratorium," Agnew said. "What I said was that a hard core leadership of the moratorium were people I thought for the most part had reprehensible motives."
City
The vice-president shook hands with some of the 100 persons who greeted his arrival in this desert resort. Agnew said he planned to relax and play golf at the Eldorado Country Club where he will stay for several days.
Regarding future planned moratoriums, Agnew said, "I just don't see what these moratoriums are supposed to accomplish.
"The President is aware of the fact that these people want peace. They don't want it any more than he does. They are not providing any constructive solutions to our problems there. And really what they are doing is dividing the country."
