The New Mobe seems to have relinquished the October leadership role to Sam Brown and the VMC, and is pointing its major effort toward the mid-November, Stop the War demonstration. . As for personalities, the usual troublemakers are much in evidence for next week's protest. Counted among this group are baby doctor Benjamin Spock, grape picker Cesar Chavez, Noam Chomsky of MIT, and many others. New faces, however, prominent people regarded as loyal Americans, have instilled the day with re- spectability and even patriotism. Such people are Edmund Muskie, Car- Dearden, and Harvard's John Kenneth Galbraith. The U. S. Senate and the House of Representatives have been vocal on the topic in recent days, and Wednesday the 15th is sched- uled to be Vietnam Resolutie's Day which' was conceived as a way of expressing congressional encouragement for the nationwide class- room moratorium. A broad anti-war resolution for a speedy end to American involvement, -taken by .the VMC as an implied endorse- ment to moratorium demonstrations, was recently signed'by 108 representatives. Additionally, nineteen senators (11 Democrats and 8 Republicans) have, in varying degrees supported planned ac- tivities of the VMC and many will speak at rallies next week. These Senators are McCarthy (D-Minn.), Goodeh (R-N. Y. ), Hztfield (R-Ore. 1, McGovern (D-S. D. ), arris (D-Okla. ), Cooper (R-Ky. ), Cook (R-Ky. ), Saxbe (R-Ohio), Javits (R-N. Y.), Percy (R-IZ1.1, Case (R-N. J. 1, Hart (D-Mich.), Mansfield (D-Mont. 1, Fulbright (D-Ark. ), Kennedy (D-Mass. 1, Hughes (D-Iowa), Muskie (D-Maine), Church (D-I-o), and Cranston (D-Cdlif. ). 8. With the exclusion of minor exceptions, such as planned anti- war I activities in cooperation with the VMC, and spontaneous dem- onstrations that may erupt in several hot spots, new left radical activists are, this time, relatively uninvolved. Current SDS man- agement (Mark Rudd and others) is virtually silent on October 15 activities (and the VMC disavows any connection with SDS) pre- ferring instead to shake up Chicago with its own demonstrationon behalf of the.Conspiracy 8 which precedes the national VMC effort. 4 - . .,: ; ..... & .. *.: , - 1 I
