(Sun Photo) By JOAN BASTEL A 27-year-old Crete man feels that alter four years in the military, there is no reason, why he shouldn't spend a couple of months in civilian life expressing his concern over American involvement in Vietnam. Gary Mundt was a captain in the U.S.

Air Force upon separation from the military in April. On of his four years of service was spent in Thailand. Though he did not serve in Vietnam, the personable young man said he "saw a lot of the things we were doing there," and feels he's qualified to speak on the war, both an American and as an ex- serviceman. Mundt, who is single and has been living with a friend in Lincoln, was in the Beatrice area Monday to talk with Dwight Dell of Holmesville and the Rev. Charles Nettleton of the Church the Brethren, both members of the Nebraskans for Peace organization.

A 1967 graduate of the University of Nebraska with a degree in political science, he participated In the Vietnam Veterans Against the War activities in Washington, D.C. the first of May. While he was there, he spoke to the senators and representatives from Nebraska concerning legislation to end the war in Indochina. "After talking with these individuals," he said, "it is quite understandable why the youth of today say the system doesn't work." Upon contacting Senators Carl Curtis and Reman Hruska and Congressman Dave Martin, Third District, Mundt said they ail indicated that "their minds were made up on the pending legislation and that it would not mak any difference how much mail they received, they would still vote against the measures to end the war." "This appall'ing admission amplifies the fact that our representatives are no longer representing the people. Instead t.

hey use the outdated arguments that the people are not well-informed on the issues, and then continue to vote as they please," he said. The legislation Mundt is most concerned about is the Hatfield- McGovem amendment that would set a definite withdrawal date, Dec. 31, 1971, and the Nedzi-Whalen amendment in the House that calls for the cutting off of funds for military operations in Indochina by Jan. 1, 1972. Though many bel'ieve President Nixon is doing a good job of getting troops out of Vietnam, Mundt said the chief executive has realized that public opinion is running against the war, and that he has no choice but to withdraw.

But to Mundt, Niixon's reasons for not setting a definite withdrawal date of all American servicemen in the near future are not Victimization Is not working, he said, and America's slow process of withdrawing will not prepare the South Vietnamese to continue fighting, if that is what they really want to do. Nixon's second reason for keeping troops in Indochina the protection of American prisoners-of-war doesn't impress the veteran either. Mundt calls the President's use of the POW issue "a political device." The North Vietnamese want to see Americans out of the country, and have expressed their willingness to release the prisoners when American troops move out, he added. Mundt believes that "people talking to other people" is an effective way to combat the representatives' lack of interest in the American people's opinion about the war. He is convinced that a majority of Americans share his opinions about the war, and he quotes recent Gallup Polls to back up his contention.

It is this "talking to other people" that has kept Mundt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Mundt of Crete, busy since his separation from the service. He has spoken to various groups and organizations in Southeast Nebraska and reports that he has been pleased with the interest shown. He said he'd be glad to talk to any local groups, and can be contacted through Dell.

Some people have expressed concern over the effect on the American society and economy, specifically in terms of drug addiction and unemployment, that the return of mi'litarymen will cause. Though admitting that this country will have to go through a transition when the war is ended, Mundt sadd the money saved in military appropriations could be put to good use in these people. We'll have to go through a change sometime, Mundt. said. The point is, he added, "we can't wait five or ten years to go through this transition." Kim in second try for championship WILBER Thirteen-year-old Kim Chaloupka of Wilber is in Washington, D.C.

this week for her second try at the National Spelling Bee championship. Kim, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Chaloupka, won local spelling contests and then outspelled all comers in Omaha in April at the Midwest Spelling Bee that made her eligible for the national contest. She is accompanied by her parents during her one-week expense-paid vacation in the nation's capital climaxing with the annual competition.

There are 77 contestants. Kim Is one of only three spellers who are returning to the nationals for the second year in a row.
