'Proud Briton' under

For what satisfaction It will rive him, it can be Kald that the letter from the nameless Brilon published In Wednesday's issue of your newspaper is every bit as offensive as it was intended to be.

And I certainly is not the kind of thinking that has repeatedly made a great people greater in time of adversity

although it

might well be the kind of thinking that has time and again in current history permitted an inept band- ful to bring adversity to these brave millions.

It is difficult to understand why the proud Briton is so upset because one news- paper

know how many Britons are proud of the proud Briton's public display

of boorishness. Eisenhower has been round- ly criticised by Britons for the U-2 incident but the only real crime evident in this and the Frogman Crabb effort to guarantee our security is that we both got caught.

Impudence

I read the neurolle fantasy by "British and Proud of I" (China Mall, June 1) with disgust. His abusive outburst igalist the United States is completely with- out foundation.
