DEMONSTRATION AT AIR FORCE ACADEMY
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo.--Police carry off a demonstrator
identified as Barbara Minor of Denver after breaking up an anti-air
war protest during chapel services at the Air Force Academy. The
Academy's chapel is in the background. Thirty-one protestors, in-
cluding seven nuns, six clergymen and 19 lay people were detained
briefly by Air Police and county sheriff's officers for handing out
pamphlets denouncing continued U.S. bombings in Indo-China.
Some 60 members of Clergy and Laymen Concerned joined in a non-
violent silent witness during Catholic and Protestant services at
the chapel. One protestor left the service every five minutes to
dramatize a claim that U.S. bombs are killing 300 civilians -- or
about one every five minutes -- every day in Laos and Cambodia.
