Philadelphia, .—
(AP) —
Twelve Philadelphia area residents said
they will not pay any part of their
income tax — not because of the money
involved, but because they object to the way the money may be spent.
The tax objectors said they cannot help provide the weapons with which men
will destroy other men.
They are taking this stand, they added, in an effort to “challenge our fellow
citizens to think seriously about the dangers and evils of the course our
nation is now pursuing.”
One of the signers of the statement, Saunders Dixon of suburban Malver, said
he and his wife, Barbara, will contribute an equivalent amount to the
fellowship of reconciliation, a group reportedly working for world peace.
