Pickle: don't expect UN help
Dear Editor;
The intolerable situation
in Iran continues. This is not
good. It is not good for the
hostages, for the American
people, for the American
spirit, for the Iranian people,
and for international order.
I am nor second guessing
President Carter. If I were
in his shoes, I too could not
rest easy without thinking of
those 50 American lives
pinned up by Iranian
terrorists.
In a time of international
crises, we have to back our
President. Under our Consti-
tution, he is given supreme
power to handle ^interna-
tional matters. Nor do I
somehow blaipe the Presi-
dent as some are beginning
to do.
ANARCHY
Rut the evidence grows
and grows that the Iranian
situation is of anarchy. It
seems clear that there is no
one to deal with who can
speak with authority, and
that includes the irrational
Khomeini.
To put hope in the United
Nations doing something is
hopeless. I do not mind our
trying to use the UN to help.
I would just caution that we
cannot expect much assis-
tance from that body.
And finally,, with the
nation next door to Iran,
Afganistan, becoming more
and more a Soviet puppet
state we all have to wonder
what designs the Soviets
have towards Iran. It is well
accepted that some of the
“student" terrorists have
ties to the Marxist move-
ment in Iran.
The New Year does not
begin well, and the potential
is for a conflict far wider
than just Iran and the
United States.
But one wonders just how
patient the American people
can be before President
Carter is forced to take
drastic actions that might
seal the fate of the
Americans in Tehran.
The first months of this
year could become some of
the most trying in our
nation’s history.

That life is not merely
the comforts of home,
Nor money, nor food,
Nor words of a song.
He showed us that love,
was God’s own true gift,
A sacrifice made,
yet never to lift.
He layed down his life
soothers could see
What to expect and,
how great God could be.
Though suffer he did,
And yet not alone.
For God suffered also
upon all our wrong.
But still this great man,
though weak he may be
held on to God’s promise
His glory to see.
As all gathered ’round him
and looked on his face,
Their hopes growing dimmer
his last breath to trace.
He raised up his eyes,

An obscene
travesty
New Year’s Day is supposed to be the annual dawn of new
hope, providing a pause for renewal of the spirit and
resolut ions for a better year ahead.
This year on New Year's Day, American citizens were
greeted with broadcast via television of a propaganda show
of the type that in days past would have been staged by the
Hitler gang, Soviet Russia or the Chinese and North
Koreans during wars with the U.A.
We’re speaking of the delayed broadcast of scenes from
a "Christmas party" produced by the bandit militants who
are illegally oeeuping our embassy in Tehran.
The guests were the cowed and mentally tortured U.S.
military and diplomatic personnel, being held prisoner in
flagrant disregard of international law.
• It was a degrading, sickening show of cynicism seldom
matched.
We dare anyone who watched the episode to say the U.S.
citizens look anything but under extreme duress. Most had
to be physically pushed into range of the camera.
The jolly tones and lilting voice of Rev. Coffin as he played
the piano and urged the all but abandoned prisoners to sing
struck a hollow chord with us. Better that he had conducted
a grim and solemn service then to pretend that the hour of
light was anything but a travesty to suit the propaganda
purposes of-tbe sa-called. students holding our property.
We're proud of the way people in Bastrop and the rest of
the nation, including almost all of our politicians (except Ted
Kennedy) have remained silent to give President Carter
time to work out a solution.
But time has just about run out.
Our fellow citizens in captivity have already suffered
intolerable mental strain.
We think it's time to tell Iran that we have massive
military capability we can use to avenge the prisoners if they
are not released. We should now be thinking, at the very
least, of a naval blockade.
We must cut back on our purchase of Mideast oil and start
on a crash'basis the long overdue process of massive
development of our own coal and other resources.
Once extortion is tried and works, it will be tried again.
