PEACE PAINT WAS NOT SMEAR PROOF
Nadine Jensen of Sydney, Australia, ran into trouble with the police June 8 because she wanted to register a dramatic protest = against Australian troops being used:in the dirty war in Vietnam. Daubing herself liberally with fresh red paint, the 2l-year-old girl moved onto, George Street as the troops paraded by. Each time she bumped into one of them, she left her mark on their uniforms.
Hauled into. ‘court, she explained that she had nothing against the individual soldiers, since they were "only instruments of authority." ‘But, she said, "Australians are too complacent and : apathetic about ‘Vietnam. " What they should do is show "intellectual -: Vietnen bravery by examining the situation we are involved in in ietnam
“She said she belonged to no political party although she could be called a pacifist "with reservations." She wished "to © declare a personal revolt against the pressure of: compelling unques— tioned drives." The judge fined her $6 or six days in jail and placed her on a $100 good-behavior bond for 12 months. Miss Nadine paid the fine out of her pocketbook.
The. Daily Mirror gave the beautiful girl a five-column portrait on ‘the: ront. page with a full report of her views. Her long auburn . hair. still matted with peace paint, she was an obvious leading contender for pin-up girl of the year among the troops in Vietnam who think they ought to be brought back home.
