For the Record

■ Speaking up: Nine veterans organizations want to call Nov. 10-16 “National Confidence Week.” Charles Wiley’s National Committee for Responsible Patriotism thinks it should be “Honor America Week.” In any event both groups are calling on civic authorities to celebrate it by flying flags all week long. Individuals are asked on Nov. 11 to drive with headlights on, leave porch lights on all day, go to church, visit hospitals, put on “Honor America” and “Tell It to Hanoi” bumper stickers, decals and buttons. . . . Sen. John Tower will be featured speaker at freedom rally at Washington Memorial on Armistice Day, Nov. 11, 2 p.m. A gentleman in Corvallis, Oregon, retired army officer Eugene Beard, suggests that on the 11th minute of the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month people signify their support for the President by stopping work, ringing bells, flying flags, going to church.

■ Organizers of the New Mobilization Committee sent President Nixon the speech they thought he should have made on Nov. 3 urging total surrender. It was written by Prof. Howard Zinn of Boston U. Exact demands of the NMC are: 1) immediate U.S. troop withdrawal; 2) withdrawal of all U.S. military equipment, including helicopters, and dismantlement of all U.S. bases; and 3) overthrow of the Thieu-Ky government after which we would, says NMC, “allow the people of Vietnam to decide their own fate.”
