Antiwar Vietnam Veterans Finish 4‐Day March

VALLEY FORGE, Pa., Sept. 7 — Chanting “What do you want?” and answering “Peace now,” more than 100 veterans of the war in Vietnam arrived here today after a four-day march and led 1,500 other people in demanding an immediate American military withdrawal from South Vietnam.

The marchers, with weary muscles and blistered feet, formed a battle skirmish line in front of the Washington Memorial Chapel at the state park here and walked slowly on the wide expanse of the park’s rolling grand parade ground. Their chants were answered by a growing chorus from the crowd below shouting “Stop the war, stop the war.”

Among the speakers at the rally were Representative Allard K. Lowenstein, Democrat of Nassau County; Donald Sutherland, the actor; Jane Fonda, the actress; Mark Lane, the civil rights and antiwar lawyer and Charles Bevel, a leader of a black group from Baltimore, which is marching to the United Nations to protest alleged American genocide in South Vietnam.
