I would like to pass along for my colleagues consideration a recent editorial comment on KOOL TV and radio in Phoenix. Ariz. Homer Lane. vice president and general manager of the stations. reports on a letter he received from Mary Cordalis. which offers constructive thought about our handling of the Vietnam refugee problem in the United States. Text of her suggestion is as follows: The war in Viet Nam is over. blit the problems remain along with some new and very pressing problems that must be solved. We didnt do very well in our effort to save South Viet Nam as a country. separate from the Communist North. Perhaps we can do better in helping to provide a new life for the tens of thousands of Vietnamese that are on their way out of Saigon. Rather than disperse these people all over the United States. or even the globe. it might be far better to keep those who choose to do so in a group. much as the Cuban refugees stayed together in Dade County. Florida. The Federal Government owns huge tracts of land in every State.
