At the moment Kudirkas relatives are bravely resisting Soviet attempts to have Kudirka declared mentally incompetent and so provide a rationale to transfer him to a psychiatric hospital. Probably no other recent episode demonstrates the brutal methods of the Soviets and the bootlicking response of a onceproud United States. Congressman RICHARD ICHORD recently provided an answer to the basic question at issue: The Soviet Union is still a nation which allows no freedom of the press. no freedom of assembly. no freedom of religion. no freedom to emigrate to another country. In other words. there has been no mellowing. after 50 years of United StatesSoviet trade. Three: "If we do not sell to the Russians. they will get it elsewhere." We spend $80 billion annually on a defense mechanism to protect our country against external threats.
