Letters to the Editor

By Paul L. Whalen

Last week marked the half-way point of the 1980 session of the Kentucky General Assem-bly.

ratification of an amendment 1 the United States Constitution which would grant the District of Columbia full voting repre-sentation In the Congress.

Gov. Brown proposed a re-form In the structure of Ken-tucky's personal income tax structure. His proposal would cut or eliminate taxes for about 900,000 low income Kentucki-ans. But the tax bills for about 200,000 taxpayers In the higher Income brackets would Increase by about $45 million to make up for the lost revenue.

Rep. Dexter Wright (R-Louisville) plans to add an amendment to his bill outlaw-ing publicly financed abortions and abortions performed in public hospitals. His amend-ment would allow for public financed abortion and abortions in public hospitals where the life of the mother was in danger of being lost if the abortion was not performed.

f-lenate Bill 125 has been proposed to repeal the ban by the state constitution of lot-teries and bingo games. In addi-tion to removing the ban there has been much talk and contro-versy about starting some lot-teries In Kentucky to help rai$6 money for government pro-grams. The lottery would be similar to those run by the states of Ohio, New York and New Jersey. Ohio's lottery say many Kentucky lawmakers was supposed to help raise money to ease the financial crisis of Ohio's local school districts. We can look at the early closing of Cincinnati schools and the teacher strikes In Cleveland to gauge Ohio's success of raising money by the use of the lottery.

Heated debate took place in the House concerning HB 86 which would allow police to make warrantless arrests in the cases of family violence. The bill was introduced by Rep. Gerta Bendl (D-Louisville) be-cause of increased awareness of spouse abuse and child abuse in Kentucky. It has been estimated that at the very least one mem-ber in every two out of every five families in Kentucky has been a victim of domestic vio-lence.

Controversy surrounding auto-emission tests for Jeffer-son, Boone, Kenton and Camp-bell counties may make for mandatory auto emissions tests for all of Kentucky's 120 coun-ties. Th^se four counties must have mandatory auto emissions tests by December 31, 1982 or Kentucky stands to lose certain federal funds.

'Editor; The Veterans of Foreign

Wars Department of Kentucky, an organization of more than 22,500 mep and women who served their country overseas en thus i a s t i c a l l y , endorses House Bill 74 filed by Reps. Hoover Dawahare and Forest Aggie Sale on the first day of the 1980 Kentucky General As-sembly. House Bill 74 relates to the payments of bonuses to certain veterans, who served during the Vietnam Conflict and certain persons deriving from them.

House Bill 74 is identical to a previous bonus paid by the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 1961-1962 to veterans and/or their survivors of the Spanish American War, World War I, World War n and the Korean Conflict. The bonus was in appreciation and recognition of veterans who so - gallantly fought bullet wars in which many men died in the defense of the United States of America.

The Vietnam veterans fought the longest and the most unpopular bullet war and sus-tained more combat casualties than in any other previous war in the history of the United States of America. Also these veterans are still sustaining casualties known as "The Viet-nam Syndrome." These men chosen, either by voluntary en-listment. or accepted their draft calls for military service, other-

, wise, there would not be a Viet-

nam veteran. Some were In combat, some were'not, some sustain horrible wounds, some suffered mental and physical damage as prisoners of war, and some paid the supreme sacri-fice, death. But, the fact re-mains. these veterans accepted the call for military service and defended the United State# of America in a time of armed deadly conflict. These men, did not, repeat, did not, bug out to Canada or some other haven for draft dodgers.

Today the United States of America is faced with a serious threat of global warfare knock-ing at our door. Should this serious threat develbp, the United States of America-to meet military manpower re-quirements would through nec-essity initiate the draft for our young sons, which may include

, our daughters, call on reservist, the national guard and the Vietnam veterans who have already survived one horrible experience, to defend our shores once again.

This recall would be a re-peat of histoid During World War I, our country called on the Spanish American Veterans, during World War n , World War I, veterans were called upon, during the Korean Conflict, World War II veterans were called upon and during Viet-nam, "the Korean veterans were called upon.

We, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Department of Kentucky, feel if appreciation and recogni-tion is not afforded the Vietnam veteran, how can we ask' our young men and women, at this time to come to our rescue, when we so shamefully neglect those who so gallantly fought and died in our last war.

Now, some six years after the United States of America ceased combat operations in Vietnam, the time has arrived for the same appreciation and recognition shown by the Com-monwealth of Kentucky to pre-vious Kentucky veterans, be shown to the Vietnam veterans, as a matter of principal.

Respectfully, Joe Bietz, Commander

Veterans of Foreign Wars Of the United States
