00:00:02.180 - 00:00:23.389

For the injuries that Moshe Dayan Defense Minister of Israel received Wednesday. This is Pacifica Broadcasting from Bertie KP FA and KPFB commentary. Tonight is given by Henry Anderson, Chairman of Citizens for Farm Labor and freelance speaker. It's been well over a year since I last did

00:00:23.399 - 00:00:39.259

a commentary dealing with the war in Vietnam, at least directly, which is not an indication of the importance I attach to Vietnam, but an indication of the esteem in which I hold. Marshall Windmiller and others who are doing the research and saying the things that need

00:00:39.270 - 00:00:56.290

to be said. I tend to feel there is nothing I could add. But tonight, I'm going to depart from my usual practice and see if I can contribute something to the dialogue. The reason for such a departure at this particular time is that this is my

00:00:56.299 - 00:01:12.389

last commentary before April 15th. The income tax deadline. I propose to use my time tonight to read a letter I'm sending to the Commissioner of internal Revenue along with my income tax return this year. I hope some of the ideas in this letter may be of

00:01:12.400 - 00:01:33.150

interest and perhaps even a certain guidance if you have not yet submitted your own return. I warn you, these are not the kinds of ideas or advice you will find in the official instructions. Here is my letter, Sheldon Cohen, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Washington DC. Dear

00:01:33.160 - 00:01:50.580

sir. For the third year in a row, the income tax withholding system has failed to anticipate my income accurately leaving me with about 15% of my tax still due for the third year in a row. I am grateful for this fallibility of the system for it,

00:01:50.589 - 00:02:06.569

affords me the opportunity to do something I would have wanted to do in any case. But as a salaried worker would have found very difficult if the computers had been programmed better, 15% of my tax represents approximately the proportion of the federal budget which goes to

00:02:06.580 - 00:02:26.850

the war in Vietnam. As I have for the past two years, I declined to pay this 15% in both 1966 and 1967. I sent you letters attempting to explain why I was taking this for me unprecedented step since I received no reply to those letters. This

00:02:26.860 - 00:02:43.850

year, I will try to explain my position in even more explicit detail to begin with. I want to try to make clear the values which helped me in this action. The first and most obvious I suppose is a concern with peace, but it is necessary to

00:02:43.860 - 00:03:00.539

explain my conception of that term. I am not a pacifist. I volunteered for the service in World War Two. And if I had it to do over again, would probably do the same. I'm afraid there are situations in which love is not enough to cope with

00:03:00.550 - 00:03:17.410

whatever may be man's tendencies toward violence, particularly collective violence. I think there needs to be some machinery abroad in the world to deal with these tendencies by the metaphor of machinery. I mean to imply that there needs to be at least latent power to deal with

00:03:17.419 - 00:03:35.250

misuses of power. This question then follows, how does one prevent that larger power from being misused? In turn, there can be no perfect assurance any more than there can be perfection in anything else of human design. But I believe the best means yet devised to minimize

00:03:35.259 - 00:03:58.949

abuses of power is to spread information and decision making responsibilities as broadly as possible among those who are affected by the exercise of power. And perhaps this is by way of saying that another of the basic beliefs which motivates me is a belief in the desirability

00:03:58.960 - 00:04:17.790

and the possibility of democracy applied to the problem of peace. It seems to me this obviously means a world government universal in membership in radical distinction to the policing of the world by one or a consortium of so called great powers, vigilante style without reference to

00:04:17.799 - 00:04:39.359

anything remotely resembling a system of world law, which suggests a third value I believe in justice by which I understand such operational dimensions has equal access to and protection by the laws and an equitable share of the goods and services and energies and beauties which man

00:04:39.369 - 00:05:01.380

in combination with nature can produce. Still another value I hold and probably the one I hold most deeply of all is freedom by which I comprehend essentially the availability of options, choices, alternatives of as many types as possible, as much of the time as possible to

00:05:01.390 - 00:05:21.480

as many people as possible. You will readily appreciate that all these values I profess are also professed by the government of the United States. Why then do I decline to support that government in actions it claims are preserving or advancing those values basically, sir, because the

00:05:21.489 - 00:05:39.279

word is not the deed because I cannot live by rhetorical claims. Nor do I believe any real human being or a viable social institution? Can there has got to be a pragmatic test. There has got to be a continual weighing of existential evidence and continual judgments

00:05:39.290 - 00:05:56.709

as to whether there is congruence between word and deed, the ideal and the real or whether the word has become corrupted and the deed stood on its head. I have searched with as much goodwill as I could this year no less than the past two for

00:05:56.720 - 00:06:14.079

signs that humane values were being serviced by our actions in Vietnam has distinguished from our rhetoric, I have been obliged regretfully to conclude that there are no more options and alternatives open to the Vietnamese people today than when we began pulverizing them in the name of

00:06:14.089 - 00:06:31.350

freedom. Indeed, there seemed to be fewer options. I have been forced to conclude sorrowfully that there is no more due process and equity in Vietnam today than when we began pulverizing it in the name of justice. Indeed, there seems to be less justice and it grieves

00:06:31.359 - 00:06:51.049

me to see no movement by the US to extending the federal principle which has worked reasonably well at the national level to the supranational level. Indeed, we move farther away from world law. With every bomb we drop in short. Virtually every scintilla of evidence of which

00:06:51.059 - 00:07:13.200

I am aware suggests that us military actions in Vietnam far from conserving the good values, we profess much less extending them are crippling them and smashing them along with the villages, rice paddies, forests, men, women, Children, and our whole culture and civilization of great antiquity and

00:07:13.209 - 00:07:36.600

dignity. An antiseptic word for such a process is counterproductive, a better word because it is more nearly alive is absurd. But to my taste that is still too bland. I do not think the word madness puts the case too strongly. A personal reminiscence will explain why

00:07:36.609 - 00:07:56.899

I feel this way. Many years ago, I used to be an enthusiastic reader of comic books by Al Cap. Recent events. Keep bringing back to my mind. One little Abner comic book in particular, it had a Southeast Asian motif interestingly enough, it seems that PPI Yoakam

00:07:57.160 - 00:08:14.839

had somehow managed to get himself imprisoned inside the sacred burn your vase. The neck was too slender for him to get out. And the vase was unbreakable. After pondering the problem for a while, Mammy Oakum got a couple of wild cats, she was going to slip

00:08:14.850 - 00:08:33.280

them into the vase so that after they had done their work, Pappy could be removed piece by piece and she delivered this line which I have never forgotten. We'll get you out alive. Pappy dear, even if we have to kill you to do it. How I

00:08:33.289 - 00:08:52.530

laughed at that mad logic 20 years ago. And now the madness has come true. Not for one comic strip character trapped inside a bottle, but for millions of real human beings trapped inside a power struggle, not of their making. There is no significant difference between the

00:08:52.539 - 00:09:11.150

demented logic of dog patch and our own demented logic quoted in the papers. Within the past month, we had to destroy the village to save it. That is madness literally clinically the kind that would be hustled into a straitjacket if it appeared in you or me

00:09:11.159 - 00:09:29.270

in our dealings with a neighbor or a person working at the next desk. But when it appears in a captain of infantry or a cabinet member or a commander in chief, it is enthroned and wrapped in Herman, not a straitjacket and transmit it as if in

00:09:29.280 - 00:09:51.719

a satanic Eucharist flesh is transformed into a wafer of blood into wine, certifiable lunacy into the sanity by which whole nations must live or die. These are strong words, I suppose. But I want to disassociate myself from some who use words that may superficially sound similar.

00:09:53.229 - 00:10:12.049

I want to disassociate myself, for example, from those who create lowest common denominator united peace fronts in which fundamental legitimate differences are glossed over or suppressed. I dissent from those who object to killing by this country but have no apparent objection to killing which arrogates unto

00:10:12.059 - 00:10:37.729

itself. Such catchphrases as people's democracy, War of Liberation and socialist world. I dissent from the ingenuous or perhaps disingenuous demand for an immediate quote, unquote withdrawal by the US from Vietnam. In contrast to the call for the US presence to be replaced through negotiation by some

00:10:37.739 - 00:10:58.900

machinery for encouraging pluralism and minimizing the chances of reprisals and totalitarianism. I dissent from the view that the US is responsible for all the damnable things that are happening on earth and that if Yankees were to go home everywhere, this would by some sublime necromancy usher

00:10:58.909 - 00:11:17.940

in a millennium of human happiness. I dissent from the despair of those who feel that parliamentary change is either impossible or undesirable or both and that there is no hope for change except by dynamiting power lines. And the like I think the dynamite far from ushering

00:11:17.950 - 00:11:40.119

in meaningful social change usually slows it down and maybe the death of it. I want to stress another point lest there be any misunderstanding, I believe that tax ref users such as myself should scrupulously avoid using the taxes. We hold back for selfish purposes and avoid

00:11:40.130 - 00:11:57.890

even the appearance that we might do so for the past two years. And again, this year, I am therefore following a course which I call alternative taxation after thinking through the policies which I believe the government could and should be pursuing in order actually to further

00:11:57.900 - 00:12:15.989

the values it professes I have attempted to locate the organizations which seem to come closest to carrying out such policies in their day to day activities. In so far as private organizations can I conceive such groups as constituting a kind of shadow government which commands my

00:12:16.000 - 00:12:33.950

allegiance. So long as the official government persists in subversive activities that is activities which undermine the very goals it claims to hold most dear. I do not object to paying taxes. I am happy to pay taxes to a shadow government and I am doing so once

00:12:33.960 - 00:12:55.159

again this year in the form of contributions to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference League for Industrial Democracy, United World Federalists, American Friends Service Committee, and United Farm Workers Organizing committee of Delano California. If you wish, I would be glad to send you further information about these

00:12:55.169 - 00:13:16.200

organizations and why I believe they more effectively than the present government of the US are advancing the values of justice democracy, pluralism. And the non violent resolution of human problems. An important aspect of any responsible form of civil disobedience is to be as open as possible

00:13:16.210 - 00:13:34.590

about what one is doing and why I therefore must tell you, I am urging my friends and acquaintances to follow a course of alternative taxation similar to mine with their own choice of a shadow government. If this in the bizarre usage of the spot case be

00:13:34.599 - 00:13:54.669

conspiracy. Well, I may be found any evening or weekend at the address given on the enclosed tax return in a way. This will be an interesting test of a controversy between myself and some of my friends. They say that this nation is embarking on a wave

00:13:54.679 - 00:14:12.049

of repression, the like of which it has not seen before. Not in the Palmer raids, not in the heyday of Joseph mccarthy. Never. These friends argue that concentration camps are being prepared for people like me. I te I tell them that they are mistaken. I tell

00:14:12.059 - 00:14:28.510

them that as long as it is possible for me to write a letter such as this and send it through the mail and read it over a radio station that is listened to by thousands of people. This for all its lapses is no police state. I

00:14:28.520 - 00:14:47.070

feel a great psychological affinity with Thomas Wolfe who looked on the face of this land and saw selfishness and ugliness and cruelty and other flaws but retain their great love and optimism. Thomas Wolfe wrote over 30 years ago in The Crater with his last book. You

00:14:47.080 - 00:15:04.830

can't go home again. Quote, I believe that we are lost here in America. But I be, I believe we shall be found unquote. Well, I believe that too. I do not agree with my friends who say Vietnam is a logical extension of the capitalist ethic, et

00:15:04.840 - 00:15:23.030

cetera, et cetera. I believe rather that it is an aberration. We are lost. For the moment. In Vietnam, we have strayed from our chosen path. We have forgotten ourselves. But so long as I can think my own thoughts like this and speak them like this, I

00:15:23.039 - 00:15:40.559

cannot but believe that others can do so and are doing so and that we will remember our best selves and find our misplaced perspective and rediscover the path that winds toward a humane society, a society of compassion and diversity, a society and a world in which

00:15:40.570 - 00:16:02.270

the living human person is the measure of all our, all our philosophies, our policies and our programs. Thank you sir for your attention, sincerely, Henry Anderson. Now that is a letter which I am sending to the Internal Revenue Service this year, I'm going to reproduce it

00:16:02.280 - 00:16:15.820

and send copies to everybody. I can think of who might be interested. I would be pleased to send you a copy or copies if you wish. And I would be even more pleased if some of you were to join me in what I have called a

00:16:15.830 - 00:16:33.500

program of alternative taxation. Let me hear from you. Let me hear from you one way or the other in care of KP Fa Berkeley. Incidentally, I should point out that when I advocate the course which I have, I only speak for myself, not for the station.

00:16:33.510 - 00:17:00.549

It's directors, staff or volunteers. This is Henry Anderson in Berkeley. I hope to be with you again next month. Thank you very much for listening and good night and everywhere it suck it to me. Times, get that kid again and somebody's gonna answer to me, to

00:17:00.559 - 00:17:57.949

me it to me. Sack it to me. I have this dog. I know to you. I may look old. Well, it ain't too bold but if you go to the he talking, what are you charged with foot stand 30 days for Impersonating an

00:17:57.959 - 00:18:36.939

officer waiter up this program to bring you a special report from our man in Southeast Asia. Thanks Dan. Well, this has been a busy week as you know, Prince Ch, I met General CB nook near Perth

00:18:38.780 - 00:19:27.719

to discuss the Kwan Jin Dang infiltrations at Pullman. Now here is Sheffield at his Casa Loma orchestra to play the sweetest music. This side of heaven. Here comes the judge, here comes the judge, the prisoner is not guilty of the, does that mean I don't have

00:19:27.729 - 00:20:38.800

to give back the watch whom the lawyer gonna be here in the morning? He's the boss. I thought he went for coffee. Not that boss stupid. That tell them that they sucked into it. May I have this done? Yes. This camera records exactly what you see

00:20:38.810 - 00:21:41.209

with your heart have come to share prisoner. Have you anything to a, in your own behalf? No, sir. I gave every cent I had to the jury tonight. Mad, mad world looks at the Olympics. Yep.

00:21:41.219 - 00:21:52.560

Tonight, the subject of my modern world is the Olympics. I bet you're looking forward to seeing the Olympics. Huh? I guess every time I think about the old Olympics, I get a big chill, you know. Oh, really? You like to say, you know, you hear about

00:21:52.569 - 00:22:07.219

my uncle in the Olympics? Well, no, not really. I was in the Battle Creek Michigan Olympics. They never had any Olympics in Battle Creek Michigan. That's what they'd like you to believe. Yeah. Well, I'm not interested in your honor. I, I won three gold medals. I

00:22:07.229 - 00:22:22.750

don't want to hear about it. They're probably a cake baking. They don't have cake baking in the Olympics. You came in ahead of Betty Crocker. I know I didn't want to hear about it. The Pillsbury lady was very upset. The Pillsbury lady, she came in right

00:22:22.760 - 00:22:41.939

behind Betty Crocker's Buns. So, yeah, it just shows you that religion and cooking. Just don't make it religion and cooking. She was baking an angel cake at the time. Another subject you don't know anything about is that what you're trying to tell me. What do you

00:22:41.949 - 00:22:56.400

mean Olympics and sports? You just don't know anything about sports. You happen to be talking to a hockey champion. You're a hockey champion? That's funny. So am I, I'd like to see you playing hockey? Well, as soon as I get a new ball, I'll show you,

00:22:56.410 - 00:23:11.390

you don't play hockey with a ball. That's what they'd like you to believe. No, no, you play hockey with a putt. He was our goalie who Fred putt in a few months, our American Olympic team going to be visiting the games in Mexico City and I

00:23:11.400 - 00:23:27.170

played a few games in Mexico City now, one game I played, I don't want to hear but I met her in a little bar. Look, Nick, we don't have time for you. I will never forgive Nick the word. All right. The first word that I offered

00:23:27.180 - 00:23:50.780

to buy her another big deal. I, I know that on it. We, she looked up into my eye and she whispered. So, come on, dad. Come on, dad. You had a wig. Our athletes are going to have a problem down there because of the altitude. Oh,

00:23:50.880 - 00:24:10.140

sure. The air is a lot different. It's very thin air. Who wants fat air? Hang on in 1912. That thin air. If you have trouble breathing. If you're not used to it, I'd be a cinch. I've been breathing all my life. He'll have to prove that

00:24:10.150 - 00:24:27.800

to me, I had to be one of the great skiers of all time. Where did you ever ski? I spent a whole winter in Switzerland. Skiing. Oh, I guess so. Every morning, up early, strap on the old skis and go out there and get those out.

00:24:28.750 - 00:24:50.800

I feel great, exhausted, you know, skiing down those mountains all day long, down the mountain. You can't ski up the mountain. You can't. No, they ski down the mountain. They go up the mountain, they ski it. That's where they were going. World looks at the year's

00:24:50.810 - 00:25:31.979

most important sporting event. The 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. Brand, your dad love many countries at the Olympics are unable to participate in all events. So they usually specialize in one sport. For instance, the, uh, country of Croatia has long been known for its fine basketball

00:25:31.989 - 00:25:55.530

team. And tonight we have their coach and three of their star players. And now it's a real pleasure for me to introduce to you, the former All American. Many time all pro, the great Elgin Baylor coach. I wonder if you think your team is ready for

00:25:55.540 - 00:26:36.300

the competition here at the Olympics? Yes. And I'd like for you to meet them. Oh, I'd like to Olympic where arguments are forgotten where India and Pakistan can become friendly of Bibles on the hockey field. Ok. One, ok. One. Ok. Two. Ok.

00:26:36.310 - 00:27:03.020

Two. Ok. Three. Ok. Three. Yes. Sports fans. Uh, we're here at the Olympics talking to some of the competitors in the different events. Who are you, sir? All right. And the Argentine marathon champion, you really don't sound like an Argentinian. You could check it. My papers

00:27:03.030 - 00:27:21.150

are in order here they are. I understand that you have a rather unusual and uh most unique running style. I wondered if you'd mind demonstrating that running style for our television audience. Yeah, of course. All right, good. Uh, ok. On your mark. Get the authors around

00:27:21.290 - 00:28:03.569

here. My mo hi. As you may have read, there's been some problems in recent years with Russian winners of women's events turning out to be men as a result. The Olympic Committee has devised a sex test which the female

00:28:03.579 - 00:28:30.390

athletes will be required to take. He's an outrage is slow on my integrity, my country and my dyin. Brilliant. Cool. The make up a man I want, well, Mrs Petrovich, I have good news and bad news, bad news. I'm strong. They don't have to disqualify you.

00:28:30.400 - 00:29:05.449

You're definitely a man. Oh, what is, what is good news? Congratulations. You're pregnant. Ok. I want to defect from Russia to USA. It's ok. Sure. Sure said, buddy, I'm trying to avoid the draft. Can I defect to Canada? Sure. There are lots of Americans in

00:29:05.459 - 00:30:15.500

Toronto. I say I want to get out of Canada and get to France any chance. We, we, we are glad to accept all our Canadian brothers world. So let that was

00:30:15.550 - 00:31:46.199

it. When the vote I knew where to put the, have you run? Thrilling? Is it f the question of surviving? And the only I'm doing it right. What? My boyfriend's always legal. So I qualify to carry any to, if

00:31:46.209 - 00:32:08.430

you put two tea bags together, you'd get more tea flavor. Well, that's the idea behind our lip and flow through bag. Look inside, it's like getting two bags of flavor in one. Not more tea, quarantine flavor rich hearty Lipton flavor, brisk. No wonder Lipton gets into

00:32:08.439 - 00:32:29.780

more hot water than any other tea. Get Lipton flow through tea bags. This girl is going to take Dove's face test to demonstrate the difference between soap and dove. The difference of course is cream. Dove is one quarter cleansing cream to cream your skin while you

00:32:29.790 - 00:32:56.979

wash so bad. See the difference in just a few moments. The soap is dried while even in winter cold, the dove is still moist and creamy dove creams your skin while you are it. I now hope it's lucky to me. Time a soccer to me. Lam

00:32:57.000 - 00:33:52.699

is definitely out. You called the judge? No. May I have this? And this camera takes great colored pictures. I another segment of pure unadulterated males unadulterated. I'll drink to that. We call it potpourri. You call it potpourri. What do you call it unadulterated

00:33:52.709 - 00:34:15.540

man? Drinker. Why didn't you say so? Come in the door is open. You reported a crime that's right officer while I was out bowling, somebody broke into the house, blew open the safe, ransacked every room in the place and stole my life savings and left my

00:34:15.550 - 00:34:39.399

wife like this. When this happened, we could go on Monday of surgical transplants. Now. A reality, laughing looks into the future at the world's first, totally reconstituted human. So you're the world's first person entirely made of spare parts. That's right. This arm came from a man

00:34:39.409 - 00:34:55.909

from the CIA and this one from an FBI man. Well, how does it, how does it work? Not too well. My left hand never knows what my right hand is doing. This knee came from an Egyptian and this one from an Israeli, does it pose a

00:34:55.919 - 00:35:12.639

problem only when I cross my legs and then that your entire anatomy has come from for? Oh, no, my heart belongs to daddy. I think you're certainly a fluffy little girl. I wonder if you'd mind if I shook your head. Go ahead. It doesn't belong to

00:35:12.649 - 00:36:09.459

me anyway. Now, scrolling down memory lane is Poopy Capo. If Poopy Caple marry Betty Boop, he'd be, um, that's funny. You get a kick out of that. Sure. Do you know who's responsible for much of that kind

00:36:09.469 - 00:37:08.959

of humor? Ernie. That's right. He was brilliant just about the best. It was. I remember he did a lot of those backed up blackouts. That's why we're doing them tonight and kind of a nice way. To remember a guy. Exactly. Look, here's another one. I

00:37:08.969 - 00:37:32.909

called mother yesterday and I dialed a lady in Orlando, Florida by mistake. But don't worry, I called the telephone operator and told her about this. Oh, yeah. Really? Cause if you won, I'd get it for sure. Oh, you're kidding? Oh, listen, with a big star like

00:37:32.919 - 00:38:28.000

you, they're not about to throw anything at me. I'm safe. You're absolutely safe, shall we? I, no, it didn't do it. Of course we do. Why did they do that? Said what ready? I wasn't. I say good night, Dick and I Dick. Uh, good night

00:38:29.229 - 00:38:44.169

Decor. We have a show next week. Well, if you like tonight, I wonder if you mind if I said something. My great grandfather once said to me, gee, I'm afraid we're out of time today. Next week we got, he went on a life raft for 14

00:42:36.729 - 00:42:55.520

thoughts of many prominent speakers in the area. And today's commentator is Henry Anderson, who is a public health sociologist and chairman of the Citizens for Farm Labor. He is also a freelance speaker and writer here now is Mr Anderson. I've been delayed in filling your requests

00:42:55.530 - 00:43:11.489

for copies of my two commentaries of a couple of months ago on some of the problems of man, woman relationships in our society. I have not forgotten those requests and we will be sending out the scripts very shortly. One of the more frequent responses I get

00:43:11.500 - 00:43:29.020

to these commentaries goes something like this in view of all the disheartening evidence which you yourself frequently cite how can you still consider yourself a humanist? How can you still feel there are grounds for enthusiasm and hope tonight, I'd like to offer just one example of

00:43:29.030 - 00:43:49.379

why I think that despite everything, it is possible to feel basically optimistic now, to be sure there's a mountain of evidence that our educational institutions are in fact anti educational that jobs are bureaucratized and deadening and so forth. I've commented on these melancholy themes more often

00:43:49.389 - 00:44:08.639

than I would like to have. But it is equally demonstrable that there is countervailing evidence that some arms of our educational institutions are promoting intellectual life rather than death that some creative thinking of the work process is going on and so forth. Here is countervailing evidence

00:44:08.649 - 00:44:29.060

which at a single stroke gives me hope for both the educational and occupational processes. And the more besides not long ago, in a graduate seminar in it. In Industrial Psychology at San Francisco State College, the students were asked to visualize and describe new locations, jobs which

00:44:29.070 - 00:44:42.199

do not yet exist, but which would meet social needs. And at the same time, the needs of the job holders for humanness as you will see, there was refreshing wit and humor in the way some of the students answered this assignment, but it was not a

00:44:42.209 - 00:45:01.310

frivolous exercise. Each description of a new location was accompanied by a plausible account of where the funds would come from the supportive social structure and other technical details here. However, I will confine myself to brief excerpts from the descriptions of the job functions and applicant qualifications

00:45:02.250 - 00:45:23.310

from here on. I will be reading the exact words of students in industrial psychology at San Francisco State job title rush hour singers, job description, singing groups composed of three persons would travel on buses during rush hours and sing to the passengers. In addition to being

00:45:23.320 - 00:45:37.199

able to sing, these people would also have to know crowd psychology. The singers would serve to reduce the frustrations of traveling on overcrowded buses and the long waits for late running buses. If the bus was late, knowing that you were to be confronted by a jovial

00:45:37.209 - 00:45:53.560

singing group on the bus when it finally arrived might at least give you something pleasant to anticipate. Also once on the bus instead of the usual frustration, aggression responses of the passengers, people being surly and stepping on each other while scrambling on and off. These responses

00:45:53.570 - 00:46:17.040

would be replaced with responses such as seeking proximity and physical contact, help attention and reassurance, job title rummage coordinator, job description. The coordinator would be involved in obtaining the places and dates of rummage creating activities and displaying this information for those interested. The purpose is to

00:46:17.050 - 00:46:41.459

00:46:41.469 - 00:46:56.699

task of the of this particular weatherman would be a little different from the usual idea of a weather man. He would give away raincoats and umbrellas. When an unexpected rain occurred around congested public areas, he could also assist in getting taxis for people during the rainstorm.

00:46:56.939 - 00:47:17.310

He may even help people to cross the street safely. Job title travelers, entertainer job description. Their task would be primarily geared to telling stories to Children on long trips and giving parents a chance to relax. The entertainers could be expert musicians and no children's songs. They

00:47:17.320 - 00:47:40.300

could also know how to play children's road games. They could also know the route and point out points of interest to the Children required skills personality should sparkle not the title erogenous zone finder job purpose to provide a service whereby individuals can be examined to determine

They may have description of skills personality. The EZF should have the ability to establish rapport and form understanding relationships

00:48:00.449 - 00:48:30.439

00:49:19.260 - 00:49:41.010

It has been stated that humanity's future lies in the seas, job title oratory monitor, job description. Each elected official from the county through the national level would have an oratory monitor assigned to him whenever the official is making a speech, the monitor would be present. If

00:49:41.020 - 00:50:06.669

One to assist the populace in establishing a source credibility factor for the political representatives. Two to encourage elected officials to tell the truth skills. One B A in political science, prelaw

Two encyclopedic memory to catalog and recall all pertinent political information and three irrepressible personality with the brashness of a used car commercial pitchman job title hugger description. The basic task is to dispense genuine affection to

00:50:31.810 - 00:50:48.629

the Children living in orphanages and other institutions, purpose in an institutional setting where many Children must live. It is very difficult for the staff to give sufficient time to emotional needs of the Children as individuals as a result, lasting psycho emotional damage is sometimes done to

00:50:48.639 - 00:51:08.110

institutionalized Children. The sole purpose of the hugger is to circulate within a small group of Children. Probably no more than eight, giving them the love and attention which they deserve. No administrative duties whatsoever are allowed skills since the ability to give love has no correlation with

00:51:08.120 - 00:51:31.370

education level. No form of educational requirements exist. However, rather extensive psychological tests should be given the applicant to establish his or her love quotient. It would be helpful to have some psychology background or training but not too much job title, poppy picture, job description, throw poppy

In California, he would distribute chamber of commerce packets from states desiring more residents methods of completing this

00:54:03.000 - 00:54:19.870

task would be left up to the depopulated who would receive a commission. In addition to his salary for every registered Californian who changed residency to another state. There are a number of other is here that I don't have time to read. Some of the job titles

00:54:19.879 - 00:54:51.620

are idleness, mentor, verbal hostility, developer, neighborhood laundromat, Entertainer, supermarket shoppers guide commute, coordinator, risk of death, amusement park operator, humanizer of household appliances. I will read uh just one more though job title, philosophical Humanist and job description acts as a consultant on ethical and moral considerations.

00:55:12.300 - 00:55:34.250

social activity. Major areas of concern are problems like what are the ethical and moral basis of humanity. I have been quoting from descriptions of possible new vocations by graduate students at San Francisco State College as part of an assignment in an Industrial psychology class. I feel

00:55:34.260 - 00:55:53.159

very good about this material. I find it most heartening to know that there are professors who conceive such assignments in colleges and departments in which they are free to do so. But the most important point of all to me is this 15 years ago when I

00:55:53.169 - 00:56:11.709

was in graduate school, industrial psychology and sociology meant essentially only one thing to manipulate workers. So they would produce more at less cost and think they were happy doing it. It was in effect training people to be more efficient at dehumanizing other people. Now in at

00:56:11.719 - 00:56:30.919

least one major training center and I dare say it's not the only one industrial psychology evidently means something radically different. Something that I would call humanizing. When they graduate. These young psychologists will go out and start to influence policy in government and industry and in the

00:56:30.929 - 00:56:50.020

teaching of future generations. And although some of them will no doubt be beaten down and some of their ideas and ideals and wonderful good humor will be diluted. These people will make a difference. Watch for civil service announcements within five years for the equivalent of Tide

00:56:50.030 - 00:57:11.739

Pool guide and travelers entertainer and the like the biggest and most basic revolutions of our time may not be the ones you hear about and read about involving boudoirs, Benzedrine, blackness or bullets. The major revolutions may be quiet and unheralded. Taking the f for example, of

00:57:11.750 - 00:57:37.169

a rising generation of social functionaries who are imagining and being encouraged to imagine seriously and joyfully the relevance of huggers. Poppy Pitchers Town mockers and philosophical humanists. I'm feeling very hopeful tonight and not, I think without reason if you would like copies of this commentary and

00:57:37.179 - 00:57:58.189

or more information about the seminar material from which I quoted, write to me in care of KP Fa Berkeley. This is Henry Anderson. Thank you very much. And good night sent this rationale as the basis of their action. They say, well, now we do not believe

00:57:58.199 - 00:58:19.659

that the state should use the taxpayers' dollars to pay for the education of a boy to learn a trade. That boy cannot use. If you can't get a job as a plumber. Why train him as a plumber to be a plumber? Oh, that's a false philosophy

00:58:20.600 - 00:58:37.709

because uh we are in the process of tearing these barriers down. But we now are facing the problem of people available to get the jobs even when the barriers are torn down and they are not available because they never had the opportunity of getting the training

00:58:37.719 - 00:59:02.909

and getting the education be because you had that philosophy that the taxpayers dollars should not be used to train a boy for a trade he cannot use. So brothers and sisters, I am happy to have this chance to say these few words to you here in

00:59:02.919 - 00:59:26.129

Oakland. I come to Oakland uh from time to time because Brother Seal Dulls, who's one of the commissioners of the Fair Employment Practice Commission in the State of California is our international president, vice president on the Pacific Coast. And uh who has been long dedicated as

00:59:26.139 - 00:59:50.780

uh Suderman Rumford indicated to the cause of fair employment practice. So I, I have uh always a warm feeling when I turned toward the Pacific Coast. I like this section of the country. And uh for a long time, it was uh one of the most advanced

00:59:50.790 - 01:00:14.360

when it came to economic experimentation. We just came from Seattle. And I recall once when Seattle was under the control of trade unions for a number of weeks, and you've had some great labor battles in this area. How the Negro today faces the hardest battle he's

01:00:14.370 - 01:00:45.889

ever had since the time that he fought to bring on the civil war. The fugitive slave law of 1850 was basically responsible for the beginning of the civil war. The various plantation master hunted slaves in Massachusetts and New York all over the east and the west.

01:00:47.409 - 01:01:24.189

Why? Because these slaves represented an investment, they represented economic power, represented economic profit. Consequently, they hunted these slaves. But there were 250 slave uprisings in every colony and every state before slavery and after slavery. So that the slaves themselves stage the greatest strike, the greatest single

01:01:24.199 - 01:01:47.090

strike America has ever seen. They marched off the plantations, went into the union camps and offered their labor and their life for their own liberation and for the freedom of the country from the blight and the stigma of human slavery. And now the negro workers are

01:01:47.100 - 01:02:20.429

about another great and tremendous struggle that is a struggle to achieve complete freedom, not only for themselves but to give integrity and reality to American democracy. We have but a few local councils just about 25 throughout the nation. But they're growing and they're aggressive. We are

01:02:20.439 - 01:02:50.969

progressive, they're militant and they are waging this warfare against race by us. On the job, we've got to crack it wide open. It is going to require struggle and sacrifice and suffering. I was glad to hear uh our minister who introduced assemblyman Rumford indicate that uh

01:02:51.320 - 01:03:26.520

that God himself respected labor. He worked. Jesus Christ was a carpenter, Saint Paul, attempt maker Saint Peter, a fisherman. The slave world was the ancient world. The most revolutionary declaration made during the slave world was made by Jesus Christ. Come unto me all ye that labor

01:03:27.310 - 01:04:00.350

and our heavy lead and I will give you rest. Such a statement was treason to the Caesars of Rome who believed in polytheism and whose empire rested upon the pillar of flesh of the slaves. And so the church and every institution in the negro community and

01:04:00.360 - 01:04:28.979

all of the institutions in the American community must move to bring about some solution to this problem of labor of the black worker whereby he will get employment and whereby his wages may be the equal of all workers doing comparable labor. This is our task. If

01:04:28.989 - 01:04:58.860

a negro worker can't survive, the negro communities will go into decay. The Negro church cannot survive without the negro labor. Negro press cannot survive without negro labor. The negro professional man, the doctor and the lawyer depend upon the worker who brings in the wages from day

01:04:58.870 - 01:05:45.919

to day, the wages that give life to the community and hope to the families. This is the reason why we must win this battle. This is one battle we can't afford to lose. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, we will only be a moment. I will ask

01:05:45.929 - 01:06:35.919

Reverend dawn of BB memorial to give us the benediction and now the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the love of God, the fellowship and communion of the Holy Spirit. Be with you now and forever. Amen. I on the
