Two Jewish contingents totalling about 400 marchers participated in yesterday’s march to end the Vietnam War, according to Moshe Kagan, chairman of the executive committee of the Americans for Progressive Israel-Hashomer Hatzair. The Jewish participants were evenly distributed between the Zionist contingent API-HH and the Radical Zionist Alliance, and the left-wing Jewish Cultural Societies. The marchers ranged in age from teenage to adult. Kagan said the RZA and the Jewish Cultural Societies carried identifying banners. The API-HH distributed leaflets opposing the war and bombing in Vietnam and calling for peace in the Mideast. “Although we do not link the two causes,” Kagan said, “we feel that peace is indivisible.”
