Three days after the Hiroshima Day vigil, 15 SPC members conducted a direct action at the Federal .Building in ' downtown Syracuse . Paper-mache ' replicas of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs, the minuteman missile , and the neutron bomb were carried from Lincoln Plaza along Salina Street to the plaza in front of the Federa l Building, At the plaza, we formed a semi-circle around the weapons and read statements composed by 011i e Clubb which corresponded to each of the replicas ; statements were also read for the hydrogen bomb, the M X missile, and the Trident submarine . 011ie Clubb read a summarizing statement, an excerp t of which follows : Photo by Jack Manno Glenda Neff reads statement about the Nagasaki bomb , "Fat Man" . at Nagasaki Day action. i

" In this huge stockpile of nuclear weapons, which keeps growing year after year, you have given material firm to your worst nightmares and your most violent antagonisms . Inevitably, other governments have followed the example you have set, so that now a Sword of Damocles hangs over every living thin g that inhabits this earth . You have set t) a stage for the ultimate, final crime against every living creature .

May all of you who have played a part in this mad enterprise recover your sanity, Let wisdom, not dark impulses and thoughts, guide your actions . Where there is fear in your hearts, let there be courage . Let there be the courage to begin with the task of eliminating nuclear weapons, the courag e finally to begin the march towards a peace more enduring than the peace of today - a peace which could , ten months or ten years from now, suddenly find the world reduced to nuclear ashes . Let the love of whic' all human beings are capable make itself felt in your acts toward all those peoples with whom you, and we the American people share life on this planet . May all of us, Working together, make the world safe for our children and our children's children . "

After the readings, we carried the replicas into th e lobby of the Federal Building . 011ie Clubb then explaine d to the onlooking employees that we were symbolicall y giving back to the government their life-denying technol- ogies o The building manager came into the lobby serving as th e the envoy of the feds . Chris Murray explained that w e were leaving the weapons in the lobby and that those of us who remained in the lobby would accept the conse - quences . Well, the feds decided that to dispose of the bombs themselves was a cheap price to pay to avoid the bad publicity of arresting us . Weil have to be more - ' challenging next year . The ceremony was closed with a reading of th e Community Affirmation for Peace . (See previous page .) '
