Dallas, Texas
July 22, 1970
Mr. J. M. Roche, Chairman of the Board
GENERAL MOTORS
7667 Fifth Avenue
New York, N.Y. 10022
Dear Mr. Roche:
It is with some sense of guilt that I read in ANOTHER MOTHER FOR PEACE bulletin (June 1970) that General Motors is a great contributor to this war in their manufacture of:
81mm projectiles
155mm self-propelled Howitzers
warhead and exploder design for MK48 torpedoes
a sense of guilt in that I have never owned any other make of automobile but Chevrolets. Your products have given me good service and much pleasure, but I must say that I would not buy another automobile of General Motors make unless I could be assured that you are out of the war business.
There is the “Corporate Executives Committee for Peace” recently organized in New York at which many prominent businessmen expressed their intention to contact the Adm. and Congress and let them know of their feeling that this war is ruining our country, from every standpoint. I wish you could tell me that your great corporation is represented in that organization.
Most sincerely
(Mrs.) Cordye Hall
P.S. – read June 27 1970 THE NEW YORKER – page 26.
