In an attack upon U. S. policy
in Vietnam from his pulpit, in
the Ebenezer Baptist Church at
Atlanta, the civil rights leader
changed that Gen. William C.
Westmoreland was brought
home from Vietnam to wage
“further escakrtioii of the war.”
Crying, the United States^the
‘‘greatest purveyor of violence
in the world today,”'King urg’-v

theless regarded at a front run
