Political Action Unit Formed Here Formation of an Iowa City Political Action League, group formed to take stands on issues before the community, was announced this morning. Its officers are Ray Vanderhoef, chairman; James Harris, secretary; and Larry Wade, treasurer. The group plans to name governing board later. Speaking for the league, Harris said it "plans to live up to its name," but that it isn't yet "at that stage." He said the league "is in the process of preparing positions on, issues," which he said include urban renewal, parking and transportation.

Harris said the league is a broadly based political group which currently numbers about 30. However, he said membership is open to "interested citizens who believe in our basic principles." As outlined by the group, its basic principles are: -It is the responsibility of all to take an active part in community affairs. -Elected officials must, in the light of all available information, vote their basic in light of what they deem best for the total community to insure its continued progress. -All citizens of the community, the elected officials and city administration, have a mutual responsibility for the development of an atmosphere of trust and a climate conducive to the total development and growth of the community. -Differences of opinion among the elected officials and the electorate can and should be expected, but differences do not mean we must suspect those who differ from us of being immoral or un-American.

We can and should be able to live with differences and work together. In announcing its formation, the group said "It is our belief that citizens have a continuing responsibility for the affairs of their city. They can not afford to speak only at the times of election, nor can they allow those who have special interests to be the only ones who are speaking. City needs a concerned group of citizens who will, in the light of the needs and welfare of the total community, speak to the elected officials, the city administration and the entire community. "To fill the void that exists, we have determined that it is in the best interest of the community for there to be a broadly based political action group.

"We plan, as a group, to take stands, on specific issues before the community, and to call to the attention of the community items that need 2 Trapped In Truck Five Hours Two men were trapped for about five hours Sunday in the wreckage of a semi-truck that overturned on Interstate 80 near Oxford.

Addressing the Coralville Optimist Club at a breakfast meeting here today, Republican Donald E. Johnson of West Branch avoided formal commitment on whether he will enter the Iowa gubernatorial race. But he gave a strong hint of his intentions with this invitation to the service club members: "If you've never witnessed a major political announcement, come over to West Branch at 9 a.m. Wednesday." Johnson said that in addition to political well -wishers and representatives of the news media, Wednesday's gathering at the West Branch Town Hall will include members of a government Vandals Hit Protestor's Apartment The apartment of a student anti-war demonstrator was hit by vandals over the week-end, he told police. Police said they received a report four youths did the damage when they broke into the apartment of Lory Rice at 628 Market Street, ransacked it and wrote such words as "commie" on the walls.

His car also was damaged, he said. Rice, 27, a University of Iowa graduate student from England, was indicted by a grand last week on a charge of resisting arrest stemming from a December anti-war tion on the UI campus. class from the West Branch High School and "my second grade teacher-75 years old, and a staunch Republican!" The former national American Legion commander's talk to the Optimists stressed the importance of service to others as something "every citizen needs to learn." He cited silent apathy; riotous civil disobedience; diffusion of responsibility in an "age of boards, councils and committees," and the theory that society is exclusively responsible for wrong-doing as factors in an era of constantly increasing irresponsibility. Recalling the sacrifices of American patriots, he commented, "Isn't it high time the people of this country line up on this side and help shoulder the responsibilities of freedom that were fought for at Valley Forge, sweated for at San Juan Hill, cried for at Bellau Wood, bled for at Guadalcanal and died for yesterday in Vietnam?"

MALCOLM Telephone 337-3975 205 East Washington Jewelers NEW YORK (AP) More, than 1,500 of the old men who have been selecting the young men to fight in Vietnam have retired from draft boards across the country in recent weeks. Others will follow. Dozens of the retired were more than 80. Some were in their 90s. Many had served on their local boards since the inception of Selective Service in 1941.

Under federal legislation which became effective Jan. 1, draft board members-they are unpaid volunteers-must retire upon reaching 75. There are 4,087 local boards with a total of 17,232 members and 96 appeal boards with 593 members. During January the age rule required the retirement of 1.508 local board members and 36 appeal board members. As an extreme example of the rule's effect, it eliminated further service by all five members at Hot Springs, S.D., where Joe C.

Weyl was dean of the board at 89. Another 333 board members in various parts of the nation will reach 75 during 1968. In general, the retiring oldsters say they never regretted the time and effort spent serving on their boards, and during the hectic buildup of armed services manpower during World War II they sometimes worked from morning to midnight. Archer A. Page, 80, who was on a Richmond, local board from the start of Selective Service, told an interviewer: "I must have acted on 25,000 or more individual cases over the years.

It was a duty to be done just as the boys we were sending out had a duty." "I thought about giving the job up several times, but I didn't," said Tom Hargis, 85, who was chairman of the board of Madison County, from the time it organized. "I knew somebody had to do it, so I just kept staying on." Dr. George Earl, 83, until Jan. a member of the Minnesota state Selective Service Appea. Board, said, "It's been tough a lot of times but I never thought of All of the oldsters interviewed felt, with few or no reservations, that the Selective Service System is fair.

"It seems fine just the way it is," said Dunning. "Anything as large as that can't be all perfect," said Hargis, "but I really wouldn't recommend any changes." "I don't think there should be any changes at all," said Page. "The system has done a magnificent job and you can make that as strong as horseredish." Quinn thought the system on the whole works fairly but was dubious about the exemptions for college students. "There are some guys who wouldn't still be going to college it were not a way out of the draft," he declared. "And lots of kids can't afford to go to college." Local Board Members Not Yet 75 New legislation requiring draft board members to retire age 75 won't have any effect, at least for a few years, on Iowa City's two board members.

A third member, representing the farmers in the area, has not been selected, and the post has been vacant for some time. Leonard Raffensberger, assoclate professor of athletics at the University of Iowa, is now 64. He has been on the board for only two years. Glenn F. Houston, the other board member, refused to comment other than saying he wouldn't be forced to retire because of the ruling.

He is president of Johnson County Abstract and Title Guarantee Co. A. total of 25 elderly Iowans have been required to relinquish local draft board positions. Hear John A. Stormer discuss Vietnam Modern Morality and other related issues TONIGHT and TUESDAY 7:30 p.m.

Through eye examination your eye doctor can determine the degree of nearsightedness and if there is any astigmatism involved. Nearsightedness or myopia is a condition in which the rays of light are focused in front of rather than on the retina. This is due to the fact that the eye itself is too long from front to back. Because the nearsighted eye can never improve its focus for distance unaided, your doctor will prescribe glasses to diverge the light rays and focus them on the retina.

With the proper glasses, made by H.O.V. of course, the average myope should have good vision both near and far. 32 Years of Contact Lens Experience CONSULT AN EYE DOCTOR FOR EYE EXAMINATION House of Visioni KELLEY OPTICAL CO.
