Watching for the white train
Highly explosive nuclear missile traveling
monthly through Lawrence via the Union Pacific railway
Some oppose shipment of weapons and military spending
By Barbara Joseph Kansan staff writer
"We live within 500 feet of the tracks in North Lawrence," said Steven Wood, Philadelphia, Penn, graduate student. "If enough people went to watch the trains could raise the consciousness around the country."
Wood, his wife Marianna, and about 50 others attended a potluck supper at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread, Thursday night to hear about non-violent extremism. This event was the effect of military spending on the poor and minorities.
Speaker Jim Douglass, Roman Catholic theologian and co-founder with his wife, Shelley, of Ground Zero Center
for Non-Violence, talked of his own campaign against the coast-to-ceast shipment of nuclear warheads and Trident-2 missile propellant. His 10-year campaign against Iran was delayed for 18 months for repeated acts of civil disobedience.
"I'm glad I have a record," Douglass said after the meeting. "It was an attempt to accept responsibility for the death of our colleague."
The Douglass's by choice at the railroad tracks entrance to the Trident nuclear submarine base near Seattle. After a white train carrying nuclear warheads passed their house in 1982, they developed a network of nuclear train-watchers across the country. The Douglass's crew also participated meticulously instrumental in stopping the white train and were awarded the Martin Luther King Award for their work by the Fellowship of Reconciliation.
