It is with dismay that I return from a trip to NYC yesterday and see nothing in the New York Times today of the march of an estimated 10,000 individuals from Times Square to the United Nations Park. There were from 2-3000
Japanese survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki who traveled here from Japan to communicate their first-hand experience of a world with nuclear arms; and plead with us to put an end to nuclear force once and for all.

I trust that you will do the proper thing in your roles as President and Publisher of the New York Times, to make certain that this story is given proper coverage.

What a travesty that these Japanese would travel to this country with this important message and not receive any media recognition. Shame on us.

Respectfully yours,

Nancy Gilbert
