Pilgrims walk for worldwide peace
By JULIE HEABERLIN Staff Reporter
An unusual troupe crossed the KU campus yesterday, foot/weary and bedraggled, but nonetheless armed with a hope for peace that could be made of miles to a city across the Atlantic Ocean.
Among this band of peace marchers walked a tamed, older man with a grazing beard, the former chaplain to the American squadron that bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
"I think knowing and having seen the actual destruction of the bomb changed my thinking," said Father George Zabelka, who now believes his militaristic stand in World War II was wrong. "I remember walking through the ruins and talking to survivors, horribly burned survivors, seeing children suffer."
And that was two months after the bomb dropped, he said.
"I joined this pilgrimage across America because I thought they were doing something about peace. Not talking, but doing."
The Bethlehem Peace Pilgrimage, an 18-member group walking from Washington
D. C. to the East Coast, plans to end its interval in Bethlehem, about Christmas 1893.
Most members will have to work to earn money for their passage across the ocean.
The 6,500-mile cruisse features representatives from three chief religions that united at the Trident nuclear submarine base in Bangor, Maine, in April to protest the nuclear arms race. Each member finances his own trip, which costs about a year month, and most queues are early and school to join in the march. The group travels about 20 miles a day, camping out along the way and often receiving shelter and food from families and church groups.
"We eat a lot of rice and beans," said Pam Ingalls-Cox, an artist from Spokane, Wash. "But living simply, that's all part of it."
"I'm walking to get my frustrations out," said Bookka Gheisar, who came from Iran four years ago. She quit college in Iowa to join the pilgrimage.
the Dog image.
"My parents are still in Iran, I fear war for them too," she said with tears in her eyes. "I want to see them alive again."
Jack Morris, a 54-year old priest who works with the elderly and handicapped, said he
promoted the pilgrimage after the government began budgeting more money for defense programs.
"The Pentagon is sucking money out of these social programs like a vacuum cleaner, and people are dying because of it," he said.
Zebraka said that one of his most interesting experiences during the pilgrimage was in Salt Lake City when he met a former member of the Nagsasu bombing photographed the aftermath of the Nagsasu bombing.
"The bomb dropped Aug. 6, at 8:15 (a.m.).
You know, kids running to school and mothers in their kitchens and then, boom, in one instant, total devastation.
institute two hours after the bomb dropped, this pilot flew 200 feet above the still smoking ruins. He could see the actual squirming, wrigling bodies of victims. It affected him so much he cannot speak of it today without breaking down."
That night, he and his crew met and plotted to work for peace, Zabelka said.
He said it would take a united, world-wide effort by all countries to change the stereotyped view of the build-up of military arms as a peace weapon.

facilities and salaries and pension plans for correctional guards during the legislative session than had been done in a long time," Swenson said.
"Gov. Carlin was at Lansing in May and he was pleased with what he saw," Swenson said. "The administration took it upon themselves to clean up the facilities. Everyone there realizes what the governor has done and what else can be done."
Among the list of accomplishments Swenson listed were the installation of a security telephone system, vetoed by the Legislature in 1981 but passed in 1982, the addition of several guard positions and an overall better attitude on the part of prison employees.
But Hardage contends a thorough house-cleaning is needed before the state penitentiary is operated effectively. Hardage said he would start by removing the man he blamed for many of the problems at KSP, Patrick McManus, secretary of corrections.
"No one I know agrees with him. He is out-of-date and I would fire him." Hardage said, "He does not believe in incarceration. His primary problem is his own self-imposed conviction system and then turning them loose."
Although McManus has angered Hardage and other Republicans, the maligned secretary of corrections has Carlin's support, Swenson said.
"The job of secretary of corrections is a controversial position no matter who is occupying it," he said. "It is not a job people stand in line for. In the past there have been just as many escapes while other people were holding the job."
Swenson also defended the community correction system, which is a brain child of McManus and Carlin. While he was speaker of the house, Carlin was a leading proponent of the community correction system, which he said would ease space problems at KSP.
Under the community correction system, which has been in effect for four years, people convicted of robbery, theft, forgery and other related crimes can be retained in the community where they commit the crimes rather than go to prison.
The system is now beginning to pay off, Swenson said. He said the system was judged prematurely by many observers.
"It's now having an effect on Kansas. It allows non-violent offenders to remain in the community, work and pay back those people who suffered losses from the offense," Swenson said.
