If you're the type who thinks writing to your congressman,
or sending in a letter to the editor, is a lesson in futility.. take
heart!
A reader called this week to report that some congressmen
la', e those letters seriously .. and Slse thinks everyne reads
the "letters-to-the-editor" column in the newspaper.
Several weeks ago, reports the caller, she saw a letter to
the editor in The Brand. It voiced an opinion on the postal ser-
vice with which she agreed, so she mailed it to several con-
gressmen.
An aide to U.S. Rep. Kent Hance called her, thanked her for
the letter and the clipping and said the congressman also
agreed with the position taken. She didn't hear from either of
the Texas senators.
“I’ve always received a reply from Hance’s office. I didn’t
help him the last election, but I will the next time around,”
she concluded.

WASHINGTON (AP) -
Secretary of State Alexander
M. Haig Jr. said Friday that
Salvadoran insurgents have
changed tactics and now are
engaged in a strategy of
"straight terrorism" in
which the main victims are
innocent noncombatants.
At a news conference, Haig
said the United States will
continue to assist the
Salvadoran government, par-
ticularly in view of what he
described as a recent in-
crease in Cuban-supplied
assistance to the guerrillas.
Haig suggested that he
