and embarraßment [or D~cle Sham. Do ~t,
~d t'ell your friends, relatives and
neighbore to do the same. Include a
letter to this ettec t to the phone com-
pa" ~d your congres~en:

BE"USE OF THE BRUTAL AND "&RESSIVE WAR
the United Sbtes government is conducting
a~ahst V;etnam, the amount of the tederal excise
........bx, S.~ , has been deduoted from my pay-
ment of this bill. I have opposed this war and
protested against it in many ways. Now I must
testity to my opposition by refusing to pay this tax.
The telephone excise tax was raised in April,
1966, only in order to help psy for the war in
Vietnam. Paying the tax means helping to pay
for outright atrocities, for the murder of inno-
cent women and chi~ren. It msans helping to psy
for the indiseriminate bombing and napalming
of defenseless villages. It means helping to fin-
ance tbe shipping Of American boys half way
around the world to die defending an unpopular
totali~rian and corrupt regime.
I am sorry tor any inconvenience my tax refusal
may cause your office and hope you will under-
stand that this protest is not directed against the
telephone company. I hope also that you will
soon ioin me and the many others who have de-
cided that it ~s now necessary to oppose the war
by refusing to psy the telephone excise tax that
helps finance it.
Sincarely in peace,

clear, " said Rep. Wiltur Mills, Chair~
man of the House Ways and Means Comm-
ittee, ''that Vietnam and only the Viet-
