Editor attacks-

Continued from page 1 spite of open indifference and sometimes opposition from the international Communist party; it was a Vietnamese movement only," Scheer said.
"The communist take-over the theory is based on statements taken out of context of communist writings," he added.
Scheer stated that since "it's difficult to maintain the position of an international communist conspiracy" even in Vietnam, current U.S. foreign policy is outdated.
"WITHOUT THE JUSTIFICATION of communist expansion, you have nothing," he said.
"The war in Vietnam isn't an accident," he charged. "It is a product of a U.S. foreign policy
not in line with democratic tradition."
After referring to "Johnson's phony peace-offensive," Scheer said the U.S. "should announce its intention to get out of Vietnam and begin negotiating terms of withdrawal as the French did earlier."
THE RAMPARTS editor had said earlier that "we'll have more Vietnamese in Latin America" if President Johnson is re-elected.
Commenting that "we'll have to do more than just make love to stop the war," Scheer said one obstacle to ending the war is that "important elements in the U.S. profit greatly from a war economy and do not want peace to break out.
Police News
Fire destroys car
Fire destroyed a 1963 Austin- Healy owned by Paul Barnes, San Bruno, Calif., graduate student, Sunday morning.
A Stouffer Place resident said the State Fire Marshall found material associated with a road flare in the car. The marshall was not available for comment.
The Lawrence Fire Department put out the fire, but the dispatcher on duty this morning said all other information would have to come from the fire marshal.
No damage estimates were made.
Lindley losses
M. E. Bickford, assistant professor of geology, reported vandalism of research equipment in Lindley Hall to KU police. He said staff members have found machines turned on in one case a piece of lead was placed in a machine so it would not operate. He said the vandalism would have to be done by someone who knew how to operate the equipment.
Nearly $2,000 worth of damage to vehicles involved in accidents and driven by KU students was reported by police Saturday night. No other injuries were reported.
Edward F. Forest, Prairie Village sophomore, reported the theft of a car stereo-tape player and tapes valued at $114 from his locked car parked in a McCollum Hall lot. He told KU police the theft occurred between 7 p.m. Thursday and 10:45 a.m. Friday.
Thefts reported
Larry E. Robinson, Wichita freshman, reported the theft of a typewriter valued at $35 from a trunk room in Joliffe Hall.
"WE DON'T NEED A WAR economy for prosperity and aren't going to solve our domestic problems until we've converted to a peace-time economy.
James Pankratz, Salina senior, reported the theft of shotgun shells and a set of wrenches from his car parked near the Memorial Stadium. He also told KU police a rear window had been broken. Total value was estimated at $50.
"You can't get the political muscle for swings in parks that you can for B52's," Scheer said.
While Scheer spoke, petitions advocating U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam were passed through the audience by a group seeking chapter affiliation in Lawrence with the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. Signatures filled both sides of most petitions.
Scheer called for a "dialogue" between war protesters and the American public.
"Some people in universities are willing to protest the war among their friends but are afraid to tell their mothers and fathers about it." Scheer charged.
The Ramparts editor said he was "amazed" at the amount of resistance to the Vietnam war on U.S. campuses. He thought many demonstrators weren't "tuned in with the reality of the war," however.
IN RESPONSE to an audience question, Scheer called Cassius Clay's refusal to enter the Army a "legitimate thing to do" and said "very few Christians and Jews have the courage to oppose their government because of their religion like Mohammed Ali did.
Turning to what he called "hippyism," Scheer said, "that's only for students who're getting checks from home."
Scheer said he was disturbed by the number of "hippies" he'd met in California who come from wealthy families. "Perhaps they're saying the values aren't so great in paradise," he added.
SHEER CALLED TIMOTHY Leary, nationally-known advocate of LSD use, a "social dropout" and his actions "morally sloppy."
Scheer made an unsuccessful bid for a U.S. Congress seat from California in 1964. He said he is planning a return trip to Vietnam.
Scheer's KU visit was sponsored by the Kansas Peace Union and the KU Vietnam Committee.
