Ft Polk Reservists Protest Prodded by Letter to Congress
Nearly 100 reservists at Ft Polk wrote a protest letter to their congressman questioning the need for Army service. A copy also went to President Kennedy. Maj James E Vance said the group felt there was no emergency and noted some had prior foreign service while others never served. Maj Gen Harley B West said the letter does not represent the whole 49th Division of 20 000 to 25 000 men and no disciplinary action will be taken.
