MEMORANDUM FOR

: Deputy Director for Support

SUBJECT

: Student Protest Movement

. *

1. This memorandum is fo;'iqformation

only.

2. At your request this Office has initiated a study of the


student protest movement in the United States, its activities and
tactics, its ideological base and possible foreign links.

.
.
,

3. I have assigned one man to devote a major portion


of his time to compiling-the necessary data base by inputing
materials from this Office's files, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the' aa4lita)ry s e r v i c w A' Fesearcttreference file
has been established to pqpvide listings of pr@&ts by date,
location or campus,' Cause o r reason, organizations involved,
key personalities, etc. In addition, two men have been assigned
on a part time basis fo-screen and extract materials from the
records of 'Recruitment Division, Office of Personnel, which
pertain to protests against CIA recruitment and research, and
new materials being collected by our field offices regarding prot e s t s against other targets. The OCI Watch Office has agreed
to seek information relative to foreignlinks to the student protest movement and will advise this Office upon completion*of its
research.

4. The major problem to be surmounted in assembling


the data base is the information retrieval system utilized by the
FBI and the military. services, i. e. indexing by personalities
and Organizations, not by such a category a s "student protests."
Although we a l s o utilize this type of system for operational
efficiency, we a r e fortunate to have voluminous omnibus files'
on the Vietnam protest movement and harassment of Agency
recruiters, in addition to our files on many of the organizations
and persohalities involved.

--

200017822

.
5. The FBI has advised it shortly w i l l issue a monograph
on trends and developments in the student protest moyement since
the Fall of 1967. The monograph is currently being printed. W e
have been assured that copies w i l l be distributed to the Director,
.the DD/P and this Office. Upon receipt of the monograph by this
office it w i l l be forwarded to you f o i your information.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Headquarters


SUBJECT

: PROJECT RESISTANCE
#533 989 I S D / 1

The following estimate of possible future activities of Black


Nationalist and Subversive organizations ' w a s obtained f r o m local
intelligence s o u r c e s :
1. Local s o u r c e s f e e l that there w i l l be m a j o r incidents by
Black Nationalist organizations i n Los Angeles and New York during
the Republic an National C onvention. Informant belie ve s that m a j o r
incidents at this time would cause Ronald REAGAN and Nelson
ROCKEFELLER to retusn to their respective s t a t e s thus leaving the
Convention open to Richard NIXON. A t a l a t e r time the subversives
cokld start a c r y that the people did not have a choice i n choosing
a candidate. Local s o u r c e s a l s o feel that t h e r e w i l l be a m a j o r
incident i n Chicago during the Democratic National Convention with
I
the aim of putting Eugene McGARTHY on the Democratic P r e s i d e n t i a l
ticket.

2. Local s o u r c e s advise that they a r e preparing for l a r g e s c a l e


campus d i s o r d e r s between September and the national elections.
Informants feel that l a r g e scale student d i s o r d e r s w i l l occur continuing
the dissension i n this country.
3. Local s o u r c e s advise that the two m a j o r a r e a s of Black
Nationalist agitation i n Southern California a r e Long Beach and Pomona.
Informants state t h a t they a r e expecting trouble i n these a r e a s . T h e r e
.
have been nightly incidents of f i r e bombings and beatings i n these two
a r e a s during the p a s t s e v e r a l weeks. The P r e s s is cooperating with
local l a w enforcement in that they a r e not printing a r t i c l e s concerning
8
these disturbances.. . .

-.

..

.. .-

4. Local intelligence sources have advised that a small group


of Black Muslim agitators are plan&ng to cause an incident in the
Los Angeles area on 13 August 1968. As future information is received
concerning the plans for this incident, they w i l l be forwarded to
Headquarters

on the p a r t of lcgi Blatures, d t a t c and national, benefactors,'
p a r e n t s , alumni, and the general public for much that is
happening in higher education today. If I read the wlgns of the
t i m e s c o r r e c t l y , this niey well lead to a s u p p r e s s i o n of the l i b c r t y and a u t m u m y that are the iifcblovd of a university c o m munity. I t n a y w e l l lead to a r e b i r t h of f a 3 c i s ~ ! , unless w e
ourselves a r e ready t u take a ,tand f o r what 1:s right for us.
H i s t o r y i 3 not consoling in this regard. J e rule oureo1ve.s or

Black militant and extreme l e f t i s t a c t i v i t y within the.


School-System has dramatically increased within the p a s t .
six months. A slogan being u t i l i z e d t o rally the students is
for them t o destroy "Caucasianism, Christianity and Capitalism."
An individual who has been personally.active a t various high
01s was identified as one CASSEU (fnu) 'and it was-noted
- . t h a t t h i s man recently was an unsuccessful candidate for the
shington, D. C. City Council. The informant also declared
at the majority of teachers i n the D.C. School System are
members of the Teacher.l,s Union and are openly sympathetic w i t h "':
the miqtancy program.' The r o l e of the Students for Democartic
Society (SDS) has been almost negligible since the black leaders
and students believe this organization t o be white-controlled snd,
, , r e a l l y not cognizant of the negro problem.

1. Since the f i r s t announcements late last s u m m e r that


a n t i w a r a c t i v i s t s would a t t e m p t to s h u t down the c i t y of Washington
t h i s s p r i n g , the only change in t h e r h e t o r i c h a s b e e n the addition
of m o r e voices in the campaign to encourage widespread p a r t i c i pation.

2, The e x a c t d a t e for executing the plan h a s varied f r o m


a generalization ("next Mayt') to the d a t e s of 1 May, 3 May and
4 May. M o s t often mentioned, howeverp is the 3 r d ; and I believe
t h i s is far and away the m o s t likely date. May 3 falls O R a Monday
(the lst, a Saturday, would not achieve the d e s i r e d r e s u l t , and the
4th h a s been s e l d o m mentioned and h a s no a p p a r e n t significance),
R e g a r d l e s s of the extent of participation that Rennie Davis, Abbie
Hoffman, + c h a d Lerner (of the Seattle Conspiracy) and o t h e r s have
b e e n able to g e n e r a t e , I am convinced t h a t t h e planned disruption
will c o m e off. T h e only p e r s i s t e n t and p r a c t i c a l t a c t i c mentioned is
to stall vehicles on.bridges and a c c e s s r o a d s to the c i t y (nails on the
highway and l a r g e kites o n n y l o n t e t h e r s to e n s n a r l h e l i c o p t e r s are
e x a m p l e s of o t h e r disruptive t a c t i c s mentioned),

3. Althoqgh future conferences could adopt s o m e changes in


the plan, if it goes off on schedule (and it is highly likely that it will),
in m i d - A p r i l a l a r g e s e g m e n t of the antiwar m o v e m e n t (principally
under the l e a d e r s h i p of t h e National Coalition Against W a r , R a c i s m
and R e p r e s s i o n , the CPUSA-influenced s u c c e s s o r to the New Mobe)

will be s o m e takers,and it will not take many to do the intended
job.
5. I believe o u r office response and planning should b e s t a r t e d
now with t h r e e months of forewarning. O u r objective should be
n a t u r a l l y the protection of o u r buildings and w h e r e possible o u r people,
and a s s i s t i n g in any way possible the routine conduct of Agency
business. I s u g g e s t that overnight sleeping and eating facilities be
readied to precede the vehicle stall (now tentatively scheduled for
6:OO a.m. on the 3 r d of May). P e r h a p s a s e c u r i t y complement should
r e m a i n in Agency buildings f r o m roughly 2:OO a.m. on the 3rd until
the s t a l l is handled by responsible police jurisdictions.

6 . Additionally, other components should be made aware of


the s t r o n g disruption possibility so that they m a y plan accordingly f o r
the continued p r e s e n c e of key people.
7 . Activists threaten to continue this tactic d a y a f t e r day
until t h e Government s u r r e n d e r s to their demands, b u t probably one
day will b e all they can manage.

8. This Office will keep you advised, as promptly as possible,


of any change in the disruption plan as it now stands.

Possib1e"Agency Security and


Surveillance Publicity

1. The Institute for Policy'Studies (IPS), the Washington


based radical "think tank" of the New Left; is reportedly pla.nning
.a major attack on all aspects of "security and surveillance" carried
on in the United States.

2. The 1973 project suppgsedly will include, but not be


limited to, an analysis of elemen&?? and high school security
systems, police programs, and federal law enforcement procedures.
-

.-

3: George Pipkin, a current IPS research fellow,' has distributed a questionaire to several hundred schools on a nationwide
basis seeking detailed information on all aspects of school security.
This research project is operating under a grant provided by the
Field Foundation, and Pipkin has assured recipients of the questionaire that %formation from this survey w i l l be held in strict confidence, will be distilled into statistical form, and used a s research
mat erial for seminars and publications ."
4.

Ln addition, Eqbal Ahmad, the Pakistani Moslem radical

recently acquitted in the "Harrisburg 7" trial, has been added to the
IPS staff as an expert on "counter-counter-insurgency. I t Mr. Ahmad
is a former fell0.w from the University of Chicago, Adlai Stevenson
Institute for International Affairs. He holds a doctorate from
Princeton University in the field of International Relations. He has

5. F o r your information a brief rundown on the Institute for


Policy Studies, 1520 New Hampshire Avenue, Washington, DeC.
20036 follows:

IPS has its genesis in"the Peace Research Institute which began operations in Washington, D. C.
on 5 April 1961, with an announcement that it would
serve as a private agency to undertake and stimulate
research in all the fields r e l e - y t to peace, security,
disarmament, and international 0rde.r. Late in 1963,
the Peace Research Institute merged with the Institute for Policy Studies, which had been founded by
Marcus G. R a s h and Richard J. Earnet (both active
leftist intellectuals). o

a.*

According to its co-fouders, the Institute is


an independent center of intellectual activity in which
scholars and government officials can exchange ideas
and collaborate on some of the problems most critically in need of new thought. A staff of 25 individuals,
including 15 fellows, identifies the topics which the
Institute will explore and on which it will make independent judgments. IPS has three basic goals:
'

a. To study the governmental process at first


hand in order to focus on the social, political,
+d economic reality in which'major public
problems must be considered.
b.

To fashion possible solutions to some of these


problems.

c.

To consider how these solutions might be put


into effect through the institutions of society.

In recent years, the Institute has concentrated its


efforts on the so-called W. S. military industrial cornplex. '' It is directed by leaders of the New Left and
supported by tax-exempt contributions from foundations,
universities, colleges, and individudls. It operates on
a school year calendar (September June) and accomplishes its goals through research projects, seminars,
briefings, publications, and coderences.

I. A reviiw'of the Office of Security f i l e s concerni n g security support t o the Office of Personnel recruiters

reflects that this activity started i n February. 1967 when the


then Deputy Director for Support directed the Office of
Sacurity t o assist t h e Office o f Personnel recruiters in
view o f t h e ongoing harrassment of Agency recruiters in
various colleges and universitiss. . . T a b A g i v e s a general ,

of =he activities that t o o k ?lace. Tab B is 9 sunmary of
t h e manhours expended by the various f i e l d offices i n . .
support of this effort. In December 1970 the requirement
for security support i n the recruiting activity was curtailed
to a sreat extent dua t o the smaller quotas required o f t h e
rgcruiters and the fact that interviews could be arranged

through canptrs contacts.

A complete review of the f i l e s reflects that the
support t o the recruiters took the f o r n of dirsct support on
the campus, arranging for alternate interviews .in federal
b u i l d i n g s near the c a p u s , chacking with campus o f f i c i a l s
and local police units i n advanca o f the recruiter3 v i s i t

*
I.

CURRENT INTELLIGENCE AS OF 18 JUNE, 1200 HOURS

This is evidenced by:

b
6

on 8 June 1968 of the role of National Coordinqtor of the March.

On 15 August 1967, Dr. k r t i n Lublicr KING first announced a massive


crrmpalgn of c i v i l disobedience in Wimhington, D. C., and other major
US urban areas. The plan was reiterated by Dr. KDlG on 23 October 1967,
and also a t a conferenco with newsmm following hi3 testimony before an

Exlecutive Session of the National Advisory Comminrrion on C i v i l Disorders.


A t this conference, KING callad fer a prolonpd c i t y paralyzing demans t r a t i o n i n Washington to force Congross t o enact o
b i l l i o n a par
anti-povorty program for the next 10 years. KI" again mentioned the
*-*program following a weok-long conference (27 iJov 2 Dec 67) with key
p r s o n n e l of the SOUTllERN CHRISTIAN LKADISKSUIP COMFERENCE (SCLC) at
Frogmore, South Carolina, and oaid tha6 the rogram M B t o be officially
born
the "&8hi43b011 spring Projo.ct (wsp~Y.n since tkt time, KING
and his associates b v o referred t o the WSP aa the "Washington C q f n , "
"Poor People's Campfa," "April Civil Disobedience Program,? V o o r
Peopleas Capitol Camp," and Voor Peopltrls Campaign." The latter is tho
name most commonly used by SCLC a t tho present tho.

KING repeatedly voiced his concarn ovgr tho failure of tho 90th Congress
pass meaningful c i v i l r i g h t s l e g i 3 h t i o n during the f i r s t se3sion and
stated that the t i m e had come for c i v i l a h t o advocatas t o camp r i g h t in
Washington and stay there by t h e thousands u n t i l the Federal Cmemmmt
and Congress did somthik about tha problemp.?of Kegroes and othor poor
people. Although KW1saotivit.iss were briefly curtailed during the
last p a r t of October 1767, cis B result of a j a i l mntenco imposed for
h i s a c t i v i t i e s in the 1943 I3Snnjngimn and Selma, Nabimi, c i v i l rjghtt
dmton~tmtions,KING lost; no t 3 tm af'tor h i n ml OLLSO i n publicizing plana
for the WSP. A t a 3 November 1967, pi*esa confsrenco, held aftor his
release from the Jefferson C o u n t y Jail, he indicated t h a t the VSP could
include massive a c t s of civil disobedienco. Reverend YOUNG, KIIG's
assistant, stated t h a t specific targets of the WSF would be the-Department
of Health, Educationeand Welfare, Bsthesda l!aval Ilospital, and bridges
batmen the District of Columbia and suburbs.

On 27 November 1967, KING called B Mgh-level moeting of SCLC pcrsonnel


a t the Penn Community Ceriter, near Frogmore, South Carolina. The Center
has long been used by KING and his aides for periodic r e t r e a t s amy from
persistent journalists. The week-long meeting was again closed t o the
press, but S I X : Information Diroctor Thorns OFFENBZXGER advised newsmen
that "acts of massive c i v i l disobedience," such as the campin in
Washington, would become a major part of SCLC activities i n 1968, and in
a l l probability, similar demonstrntions would be held i n other US c i t i e s
during the aulrrmsr. Referring apeoiflcally to the USP, 0FLi"lNBEXER stated
that "KING would dispatoh 30-40 SCLC stnff mombers t o nine major US c i t i e s

QFFENBERGER antiaipated that approxiraately 3,000 persons would volunteer
far Othe hard-core =&eR
which would travel to Washington for the i n i t i a l
stage of the ISP. KING f e l t t h a t this nucleus would be supplemented by
larg6 numbers of poor people from the immediate District of Columbia area.
It should be noted that wer 63 per cent of the population of the District
of Calumbis is Negro. These additional personnel, although not trained
in c i a disobedience for t h i s specific occasion, are being coqnted on
. t o contribute t o the general public disorder; however, recent information
indicates that the SCIG ia barring recruiting problems, Other agency
reports reveal t h a t recruitment of demonstrators in northern cities has
not'met sxpeotatione; themfore, the SCLC is now concentrating efforts
in the i ~ ~ t hIn. North Carnlina, i~rme200 deunonstFotors have been recruited and, reportedly, a 801muhat greater number in Alabama,

Additional support for the USP has been sought from groups opposed

seven or eight anti-war groups will support the MSP. The
inclusion of these elements wmld give the demonstration a more bi-racial
character and could increase the chances of a more militant demonstration.

On 2 Deoember, when the Fro&more conference closed, KING stated that


he would send a l e t t e r t o Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz outlining t h e
demands he was makhg in behalf of the poor people. If these demands
were not met, the WSP would be held as planned. Although he refused to
name the individuals selected t o r e c r u i t the i n i t i a l contingent of demons t r a t o r s , KING named the principal t a r g e t c i t i e s and states vhere SCM:
recruiters would be aotive: Boston, Massachusetts; New Pork City, New

Washington, D. C.; A t l a n t a , Georgia; Cleveland, Ohio; and Chicago, Illinois,
The states targeted were: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. A t the conclusion of his interview,
KING stated that if troops vere used t o put down the demnstration, he
would call far similar demonstrations in other key cities across the
United States.

a series of demands whiah he called "the porn people's jobs or income
panifesto." Specifically, KING demanded that the President and Congress
establish guaranteed minimum wages f w the Nation's poor, revamp the
entfre wlfare program, end unemployment and underemployment, and
alleviate slum and starvation in American c i t i e s and rural areas. KING
also responded t o questions concerning the mechanics of the W S P by indicating that the demonstration would begin aroupd the first of April

had been set, "we w i l l escalate the campaign bringing i n thousands of

Perhaps the moat slgnlficmt intorview with KING MS when he proposed


sovor.?l opacifio roforms which he s a i d wore the minimal domands of the
Nation's poor. Likening his demands far the basic Rill of Economic and
Social Rights t o a bill sponoored by Michigan Democratic Representative
John Conyer, KING mentioned two immediate goals which Congress must pass
without delay. The f i r o t was full employment for a l l hmbricans who want
to work. The second called for a gmranteod mininnun w q e , possibly i n
t h e form of a neqntive incoma tax for those unnbls t o work. Along with
these baoic demands, KING asked f o r three long-range program to a i d
disadvantaged people regardless of t h e i r ram. Specifically, he asked
for: (1)A two=fold progrm of rebuildin the Nation's ghettos and .
elimination of housing diocrimination; (27 Expanaion of job training;
and (3) The upgrading of public education especially i n the "inner city."

COMMENT
A t preeent, there is not enough statistical information available
t o make a valid estimate'of the number of participants or the impact
t h i s demanotration'may have on Washington, D. C. There is l i t t l o doubt,
however, that the D i s t r i c t law enforcement authorities w i l l bo unable
t o cope vlth any situation that reaches t h e proportions of the 21-22
October 1967, Pentagon demonstrations. During those demonstratione, tho
c i t y deputized members of the National Guard, but evon%his proved inadequate because the N a t i d Guard in thb District of Columbia has only
apprclodmately 1,800 members. This created the necessity f o r Federal .

Organizers of the Poor People's Campaign a r e working with

a committee of faculty members at a r e a colleges to set up a


Poor People's University in' the Washington, D. C. area. Stoney
COOKS, a 25 year old coordinator of campus and student a-ctivitics
for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC)is r e ported to be the originator of the idea for a Poor People's
University.
The announced prirposc of thc schoot is to study poverty,
i t s problems and tactics for i t s elimination.
Classes a r e planned
in non-violent tactics as a preparation f o r stridcnts participating
in Campaign dcmon'stratiotrs and i n such subjects a s Economics
of Poverty; Racism, Capitalism as a System, the relation between

Supporters of the program arc reported to have already m e t

with the ropres'entativcs of the consortium of five a r e a univcrsitics

'

(American, Catholic, George Washington, Georgetown and Howard),


and have requested use of class rooms, dormitories and other
facilities on t h e i r campuses. The& universitics are expected to
have responded to those requests at a meeting on the evening of
15 May 1968. While many leaders of organizations pakicipating
in the Poor People's Campaign would act as Ltpachers and l e a d e r s
of discussion groups, the proposed university a l s o hopeis to have
a corps of experts such as author, Michael HARRINGTON; Ebony
magazine editor, .Leronc BENNETT, Jr. : Bayard RUSTIN, Harry
BELAFONTE, Joan BAEZ, David DELLINGER, and Ivanhoc
DONALDS0.N. of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee
(SNCC).

It has been announced that the University plans to invite


s p e a k f f s ranging from Henry FORD and John GARDNER, the
f o r m e r Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, to Dick
GREGORY and Todd GITLIN and Tbm.HAYDEN, f o r m e r presidents
of'Students f o r a Democratic Scrciety. Stonoy COOKS is reported
to have said that i t h h o p e d also that l e c t u r c s and discussions a t
the Poor People's University,~~?v.ill~Lnspire
sttidents to return to
their home communities and campuses to mount similar local
.
confrontations. -According to COOKS SCLC is planning a collegiatelevel organization t o continue the Poor P e o p l e ' s Campaign.

During a visit on 4 May 1968 at flarvard University, Stoney


COOKS is reported to have said thatsprans a r e being made f o r
5,000 students .to participate in the' Poor People's Campaign
from 29-May to 8 June 1968. At this time COOKS announced
that SCLC is setting up a f r e e university a t which "movement
people and poor people will talk about wlrats happening and what
poor people can do".
COOKS said, "rather than everybody doing
t h e i r own thing this summer, we want them to do the poor.
people's thing."
According to COOKS the students would be asked
to accompany groups of poor people when the Washington Campaign
disbands, and to wotk with them f o r the summer.

. DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION (DNG)


L

Based on '!hard" information received from .the Intelligence Division

of the Chicago Police Department, Chicago, Illinois, and supplemented


by data made available by other reliable sources, the following items a r e
considered a8 most closely establishing the current "demonstration and
resiutance" atmssphere as regards the Democratic National Convention.

f. .....

It is reported that approximately 100 members of participating o r -

- ganizations have been identified a s being in Chicago as of this date.

There have not been any large m a s s meetings. Attendance at training


exercises and other get-togethers has been poor. An attempt to pack a
U. S. District Courtroom to demonstrate against an unfavorable decision
relative to the issuance of parade permits resulted in the appearance of
about 25 persons. A p r e s s conference by the National Committec to End
the War in Vietnam, which was to bc held in the vicinity o f t h e Federal
Building and at which television c a m e r a s were obeervcd, was also poorly .
attended in that only 15 o r 20 persons were noted to have congregated.

It is reported that the "McCarthy people" have withdrawn their support


of any demonstration8 and authorities feel this has been a serious blow to
the National Mobilization Committee plans. It should.be notcd, however,
that a number of local McCarthy groups a r e cooperating in arranging
travel to the Gonoention and many of his supporters will attend. It has
.
been suggested that it wau necessary for McCartlry to publicly disassociate himself f r o m the protest activity and any appearance of acquiescing
t o such pressuring of convention delegates in his behalf.

The Mov6ment for a Democratic Society (MDS) an arltilt affiliatc or


adjunct of the militant anti-establishment 'Students for a Democratic Society
(SDS) has allepedly targeted 100 locations in Chicago to include the Illinois
Institute al Tcchnolofiy, draft hoards, wrrt2ar.c officcs, induction rcntvra
and tc-crruitinfi ccntctrr. Lcvirlcts of llrr! Mcrvcmcnt for a Dcmocratic Socficly

planned activity during the Democratic National Convention. The
20 August 1968 ieeue of the Chicapo American containcd a page one
article headed "Pacifietr to t r y Running CIA Out of Town." Included
in the article which quotes T o m Hayden's announcement of the National
Mobilization Committee demonstration plans is h i s allegation that "mili-.tants would attempt to run the staff of thc CIA at the Federal Building,
219 South Dearborn Street, out of town. I '

Neither the FBI nor local police agencies can predict citlicr tlrc number or magnitude of incidents likely, but as of 21 August 1968 felt the
situation appears to be well under control.

Prospects for DisruPtive Demonstration in Washington

'

.-

...A*..
.

In June two national meetings were held,. one at Cleveland and


one at Milwaukee, by leading organizations in the ant-war movement.
The Cleveland meeting, entitled T h e National Emergency Confemce
Against the Cambodia-Laos-Vietnam Wartvwas held from 18 to 21 June
and sponsored principally by the Student Mobilization Committee to End
the War in Vietnam. Fourteen hundred activitists attended and the
principal opposition to the Student Mobe tactics and objectives came from
the Workers Student Alliance faction of the SDS. The Student Mobe,
which is controlled by the Young Socialist Alliance, the youth group of
the Trotskyite Socialist Workers Party, continued to adhere to a single
issue objective and a mass'demonstration tactic. The WSA on thc other
hand, which is the youth group of the Maoist Progressive L a h r Party, is
mylti-issue oriented and dedicated to a strategy of confrontation and violencol
Since the Student Mobe controlled the majority of those attending the
Cleveland conferencs, the tactics, which include mass demonstrations in
urban centers on 31 October, was adopted. It was further decided a t
Cleveland h a t the emphasis would be placed on relating the war to the issues
of racial oppression, inflation, political repression, GI rights, etc.
The foilowing week, June 27 and 28, a l'Strategy Action
ConferenceI1was staged at Milwaukee. bincipally responsible for the
coordination at Milwaukee was the .New Mobilization Committee with,
for the first time, participation by a significant American Negro group,
the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Also present at Milwaukee
were representatives from the National VJelfare Rights Organization. The
tactical plan advanced nt Milwaukee was away horn the past strategy of
mass demonstration and toward increased militancy .

disruption and liberation of Washington .was authored by Arthur rrvin


'Waskow (see attachment 91)and presented to the conferenco by Rennie
Davis (see attachment 42). Tt was originally proposed that peace marchers
from several eastern cities would converge on Washington on Labor Day,September 7, in-the hope of shutting down the city for several days.
The general conference failed to vote support to the plan. Little enthusiasm
has since been generated for the &@ember date and it appears that any
effort to disrupt the city, if it comes before next May, will occur in late
October or early November. A plan for fat1 would coincide with national
elections and the availability of college students. Davis and Waskow would
probably also wish to t;lke advantage of publicity presently heing
disseminated for Studmt Mobe scheduled activities on October 31.
.- .
Recent events'at the 23rd Congress of the National Student
Asseciaticn held a t McAUister College at St. Paul, Minnesota, tcnd to
indicate that any plan for disrupting the city is considqrod out until n s t
spring. Rennie Davis on the 14th of August presented to those convsning
at St. Paul the Arthur Waskow plan for the disruption and liberation of
Washington. Tt appears that Davis hoped ta elicit the support of a generally .
respectabls organization of students. In addressing the student congress,
Davis advised that the date for the demonstration was. picked as the first
anniversary of the Cambodian ttinvasion". Although Rclnnie Davis' plan
was reportedly supported by most National Studcnt Association lc?aders,
his p r o p s a l was narrowly defeated by the delqat?r, (131 for, 150 against).
It is prsbably-of more than passing significance that Ralph Abernathy of
the SCLC at that organization's just concluded 13th annual convet$ion
h a s started talkinq of a second'por peopk's march or) Washington next
spring. It is considered highly probable that Abernathy may selcct a
date in late April or early May 1971 to coincide with the Davis-Waskow
plan for 1 May:
In summary, it is considered unlikely that an attempt will be
made this fall to disrupt either the city or various Government aqencies.
The unlikelihood of such a move is indicated by the near total lack of
publicity to date in the radical and underground press, Davis' address
to the NSA convention specifying the 1 May date, and Ralph Abernathy's
projected plans for next spring. If, howrww, Davis can maiiagc! to
m o i ~ ial disruplivc? dcmonalralion in Washirigtoti ltiis 1311, i l will

the Labor Day weekend is regarded as highly unlikely. NO advanced


publicity for such a demonstration has been noted.

..

If an attempt by Rennie Davis, Arthur Waskow, and others is . made this fall to march on or block access to the Agency a s well as
other federal departments, it is doubtful that their efforts could produce
serious disruption. Soma adverm publicity (principally in the underground
press) could however result.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY
Cornell Univerrity ir 8 high-tuition, private, coeducational
university located in the city of Ithaca. New York, approximately
180 miles norlhwcrt of New York City. The c u r r e n t enrollment is
in excess of 14,000 mtudents, rpproximrtely 300 of wbom are Negroem.
Student u a r e r t and disruptive activities 8t Cornell began ia
the latc 1960'8. Although t h e r e ir a chaptersf SDS on campus and
radical s tudentr have- been involved in antiwar demon8trationr including
1, reccnt effort to boycott Standard oil, C o r n e ~ ' 8principal problem
and one that ham re8ulted in violence and considerable dertruction is
one of a racial nature.

In 1965 Cornell, their under the direction of P r e r i d e n t J a m e s


A. P e r k i n r , recruited a significantly bitable group of black rtudents
who wcrc financially as well ab acrdemic8l\y undirprivileged. It was
'the belief at Corncli at t h e time that the ubiverrity's actton in underprivllcgcd recruitment was a pionocr r t e p that would l e d dther
institntions along the same course. Cornell's racial problems have
mnltiplicd rince then and have d t c n taken bn b i c a r r o manifestations.
. Since 1968 tho campur has becn dirrupted by amburh beatings of white
studentr, a r m e d building trrkeoverr and meriour arron. In the rpring
. of 1968 Ncgro studcntr reized and held a department chairman prisoner
f o r what they believod to be a racial alight. Thore rtudenta rerponri%hwent unpunished, and many believe a lack of firm discipline was
a 3pan invitation for acts of bkck militancy on an ever-increasing
L de.
Pushing 8 campaign for black studier, the militantr in Decemb r 1968 took ovcr a campus building, d i r p o r r e r r e d into the rtreets
t1-e professors and their belongings, and rtole furniture from other
cz'mpus buildingr. At faculty inriatence, ch8rger were brought against

Perkine waa phyrically pulled fro'm the rpe8kerr platform rt a conferencc on South Africa.

In mid-March I969 three white atudonk were beatcn at night


on campur by Ncgre rtudenb. O n s o f &e three nearly died.

In late April 1969 Cornell gained the dubious distinction of


bcing the firrt major American univorsity to experience a building
lakcover by 8rmed militantm. This takeover allegedly war brought
on by a c r o r r being burned on the lawn of a black coed dormitory
which was later ruspected to h 8 bcw-tazited
~
not by whiter but by
blacks.

I'hc current president, Dr. Dale R. Corson, who assumed


tlrc leadcrrhip of the univcrsity a year ago has tried to tighten the
disciplinarfreinr. He, a8 wolf as hi8 predcccssor, however, has
had to contcnd with revoral radical faculty members including Profcssar Douglas F, Dowd, instructor Edward Boorstein (a Fidel
,Castro cconomic advisor f r o m 1960-63). and tho Rev. Daniel Berrigan,
prcaently serving timc in a Federal penitantirry for the burning of
d r a f t files in the state d Maryland.
, .- .

In April of 1970 r e r i a u s r8cial strife war again renewed w i t h


thc ar801r burning of the Africana Studies and Research Center.
Allegedly tho building was burned to the ground destroying not only the
physical structure but manuscriptr and displays of Mrican culture, It
was presumed (by blackr) that the dartruction had been wrought by
hostile white rtudentr. In retaliation 100 black rtudenta (8n membera
of the undcrprivilcged enrollment group) rm8rhed and looted the
univerrity-opcrrtod campus bookstore.

In summary, Cornall hu bean depicted aa a place of fear m d


anger. S a m e talk of white vigilante groups has been reported: and it
i w anticipated that the rchool, quiet now f o r several m o n t h , will contitruc to be a potential focal point for racial tenrion in the ac8demic
world. No diffioulder of any nature are anticipated at the Ithaca
c j m p u r , however, until 8 p r b g .

Dr. Corson w i l l prove a tougher, more dirciplihe-oriented


administrator than hir predecemaar: and probably tbe worst of the
P r d d tendon i 8 p888dd.

SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY
c

Syr8CuEe Univerrity ir 8 high-tuition, private , c o e d u c r t ~ o n d


. uaiverrity lot8ted in the city of Syracuse, New York, 8pproximately

180 miles northwsrt of New York City.


i n 8 X C 8 8 8 Of 2S,ooo 8tPdbntB.

The current enrollment is

Student tmrert and dirruptive activities h8ve been noted on the


Syracuse c u n p u r aince 1967. Although-no current note ha8 been taken
of it, fairly recent lnformrtion reflectr a chapter of SDS on campus,
and other radical 8tudent organizations are believe! to exist there. a
In 1967 the b o major targets of rtudent activism were the Dow Chemical Co. 8ad the CIA. The principal complaint a g r i n r t the Agency was
it8 involvement in the National Student A8rociation. In September of
1969 revera1 small bomb8 exploded on or nea5 the campur, but no
repetition of bombing activity h u been noted since then. In F e b r u a r y
of 1970 the ROTC became the target of rtuflent <isrent, and a counterdemonrtratioa snrued w i t b u t violence. One of the demands of the
counterdemonrtrators waa the sarpenrioh of the then s&ddnt body
president, &wid Ifrhin.
David Ifshin can be given considerable credit for the beginning
and the sustaining of political r8dicalirm on the Syracure campus.
Ifshin, a Washington area product, began hi8 political involvement
while still a junior high school rtudent 8nd- continued it through his
Wheaton High School days and on to Syracure. kr 1969 a t El Paro
where the N8tional Student Amsociation had convened it8 22nd annual
conference, Ifrhin became newsworthy when he wae a r r e s t e d for
refuring to pay rtate &alestax in protest against the manner in which
the city and r a t e treated their Mexican-American minority. This
act and undoubtedly other imaginative and charism8tic leadership won
him considerabfe popularity in the Notional Student Association, and
list r u m m e r he wao elected to the arrociation'r presidency. It
appears t h a t Ifshin har brouBht 8 new radicalism to the arsociation,
and he is prerently an oubpoken supporter of the present plan to
dirrupt the city of Warhington next hby. Further, Urhin ha8 recently
returned f r o m 8 t r i p to North Vietnam where he, with a group of .
,Amsricaa r8dicalr, have roughk ti, hammer out 8 p a c e treaty with

North Vietnamese students. In 6ummary, Ifshin, 8 present resident


of Potomac, Maryland, has demonstrated since junior high 8ChOOl
8 most r r d i c a l political ideology and a persuasive manner i n putting
hi6 points 8cross. Since Ifshin was ruch 8 dynamic campus spokesman
. from the left, his graduation from Syracure h a s left white radicalism
on the campus romewh8t i n retells.

The principal p r o b h n confronting Syracure Chancellor John


E. Corbally and the university daring the current academic year has
been one of racial unrest. Last spring eight Negro football playerr
boycotted football training sassions, and when they again failed to
8ppsar for f8u prrctice, 28 Augu8t, they were rorpended from the
football 8qu8d by Dr. Corbally. On 24 September 1970 8 l t - m a n
committee comprioed of three trurtead', five profermors , three rtudenta
8nd an adminirtr8conducted a study (including numerous Interviews
and herrings) of the eventa leading up to the boycott The cornmitt&
found that the university's athletic department was racist in nature and
that the department rhowed unw'arranted inrenritivity to attemptm by
black athletes to question d i s c r h i n a t o r y treatment. It was the opinion
of the committee th8t the principal caure of the black boycott w8s
disappointment and frustration over h e apparent dirinclination of head
coach Ben Schw8rtzwalder and Director ot Athle'tiqs J8msr Decker to
hire 8 black 8srirtmt coach.
,

9 .

Latkr in September black athletes w e r e reinstated and the


rituation further complicated by a counterboycott by a group of white
playerr.

During the f a l l months the campur remained tense over this


issue and it was feared that several Saturday football games would be
disrupted. The principal threat occurred in late September during the
Syracuse-Kanras University game when black rtudentr and rympathizera
stontd the administration building a f t e r f i k r t demonstrating peacefully
outside the Syracure rtadium. The stoning of the adminirtration
building followed a nonviolent police confrontation in the city where the
Syracuse police chief and 45 r r m e d police officers thwarted what they
believed to b e an *attemptat looting.
With a n end to the football searon there has also been, at
least timpd'rarily. 8 lesrening of the racial problem8 at the univerrity. Syracure ha8 now hired a Negro assbtant footbdl coach.

..

..

..

Racial troubles and radical politfcal activities at Syraculre can


be expected to follow the M t i O O d pattarn. A lessening of tension
reems to h o e set in, and in'the absence of 8n influnmrtory change in
the Vietrh.nr W8r or 8 r e p a t of the alleged r8cial insensitivity the
campur tan be expected to remain rt8ronably quiet in coming months.
When the weather moderrtea, 8ntiw.r 8ctivities nationally w i l l 8goin
pick up 8nd some minor dirruptions C ~ be
D expected. It w i l l probably
be nonviolent.

SITUATION INFORMTION REPORT

..
The
antiwar
movement
shows
no signs of dissolving POW
'
that the war has apparently ended for the U. S. troops in Vietnam.
Leaders of the major peace organizations believe that the era of
massive demonstrations is over. Their plans are vague, but the
.generals of the peace movement want-to play watchdog over U. S.
forces remaining in Southeast Asia.

The following organizations have announced tentative plans:


People's Coalition for Peace and Justice
Sidney Peck, national coordinator of the. PCP.J, and Rev.
Paul Meyer announced the formation of a "citizens observation
commission. I' The coinmission will monitor the implementation
of Article II of the Accords guaranteeing "ull personal and political
. freedom to.all citizens of South Vietnam.
Members of the commission will be composed of leading legislative, religious, and academic
figures in the U. S. As soon as the commission is completed and
visas secured, the names w i l l be announced. The group will report
any infraction of the peace agreement they observe.
'I

A "National Emergency Network" of 5,000 persons has Seen


established by PCP.J to lay the groundwork for new demonstrat ions'
should U. S. intervention be renewed.

Reportedly, the FCPT is considering a plan to demonstrate


because allegedly high-ranking U. S. military arid civilian leaders
have caused war atrocities in Vietnam.

Vice P r e s i d e n t Ky's decision not to take p a r t in the March for


Victory rally on 3 October has defured what might have been a nasty
confrontation between pro and antiwar forces. With o r without Ky,
radical right wing fuuhdamentalist radio preacher C a r l M c h t i r e will
c a r r y on with his Washington plans this weekend. The difference is that
Ky's-absence removes the k r g q t , g f the antiwar thrust, and to deny

Mclntire his right to r h g e a denknstration might c a u i e unjustifiable


difficulties for antiwar g r o u p next time. To disrupt the March for
: Victory minus Ky, staged b y and for h a r m l e s s kookr (a belief widely
held by antiwar activirts and revolutionaries) might not a t t r a c t rignif. icant participation and popular rupport and might affect the granting of
. m a r c h and r a l l y p e r m i t s later. The rallying c r y for the counterdemonstration had been directed at Ky, not M c h t i r e . The plan war to
arrest the South Vietnamese Vice P r e s i d e n t as a ' b a r criminal." The
National Coalition Againrt W a r , R a c i s m and Represrion, the uewly ..
formed but SO f a r structurally unchanged s u c c e s r o r to the N e 4 Mobilization Committee to End the War i n Vietnam, h a s reportedly withdrawn
requests for march a d rally permit8 f o r 3 October (the name change
re5ects the organization's hope for encornparsing a b r o a d e r r p e c t r u m of
. diesenters--Negroes, labor 8nd welft&-rec'lpientr and a broader targeting of American foreign and domestic policy). Ronnie Davis and
William Douthard announced their cancellation of a counterdcmonr fration
r h o r t l y after Vice P r e s i d e n t Ky'e decision was announced i n Paris.
A s f o r the 3 October weekend, the March for Victory (up Pennsylvania Avenue at noon for rpeecher and rally at the Monument grounds
at 2:30 p.m.) will probably attract n d m o r e than ( if as many as) M d n t i r e ' s
effort last 4 April when estimates r a n between Sb,000 and 70,000.
Yippie (Youth International P a r t y ) plans ahre unknown. They, 90,had
planned a Ky targeted counterdemonstr&ion,. but with Ky not h e r e they
'will probably produce no m o r e than a few -hundred marijuana-rmoking

National Peace Action Day is scheduled fo-r many cities on 31


October. Activities on this date .are under the sponrorship of the
National P e a c e Action Coalifion. . This Gbalition w a s begun last June at
a Cleveland meeting of the Trotskyite SWP-YSA-Student Mobe. T h e
name was adopted becaure the Trotskyites have picked up s o m e support
f r o m nonstudents. Their plane for antiwar activities have been e n d o r r e d
by s o m e labor leaderr and western Mexican-American radicals.

The NPAC can be'expected to carry on the unhurried revolutionary philosophy of the SWP, that is, one i s s u e at a time. The i s s u e

by revolutionaries, wornens' liberation, poverty, racism, etc. The


s t r a t e g y of the NPAG is legal mass demonstration through the utilisation of the Student &be, and their style is definitely nonviolent.

.

Various regional conferences (of which t h e r e will be 16 before


31 October) of the National Coalition Against W a r , Racism and Repression (NCAWRR) m a y play ball with the NPAC this time. It should be
emphasized that NCAWRR has not yet formed a national council and
therefore has not yet enunciated a national policy. Basically, NCAWRR
philosophy ir at odds with the Trotskyites. T h e i r spokesmen believe'
that future demonstrations should be different f r o m p a s t experiences.
T h e i r organizational tendencies are divided o v e r whether future action
should b e 1) completely nonviolent, 2) nonviolent i n themselves but view
- v i o l e n t attacks from the ruling class a3 & go'od thing, o r 3) provoke
violence f r o m the ruling class. Supposedly, these divisions developed
within the New Mobe following the Cambodian incursion and Kent State
incident e a r l y last May.

At any rate t h e r e w i l l be demonstrations on 31 October sponsored


(and directed) by the Trotskyite family of organizations (SWP, YSA,
Student Mobe, NPAC); T h e r e will b& s o m e minor participation by nonstudents (principally labor) m d s o m e as yet-und+.ete.rmined but probably

The cities involved are undoubtedly where significant Student


Mobe chapters are located. Those named to date are: Atlanta, Austin,
Boston, Chicago, Denver, Twin Cities, New Haven, Racine, Columbus,
Tampa, Seattle, Washington, Philadelphia, El P a s o , St. Louis, San
Francisco, Portland, Lo8 Angeles, N i a g a r a F d s , Salt Lake City,
Trenton, Phoenix, Providence, and Lawrence. The total of those demonstrating in all cities will probably not exceed last November's highly
successful antiwar r a l l y in Washington that reached about 250,000. It
will not be s u r p r i s i n g if based on P r e s i d e n t Nixon's continued efforts
to disengage and signs of increasing student apathy for marching that
the turn-out will be v e r y disappointing to antiwar leaders.
"

T h e r e has been no indication that p l G s are being made to


disrupt the B d e r a l Government.. .... Xt. is not believed that disruptions

T h e Black P a n t h e r s 'are tentatively scheduling their constitutional convention at Washington during this period. Rennie Davis of
the Chicago Conspiracy, former SDS leader, and now NCAWRR spokes-.
m a n i n a.r e c e n t a d d r e s s to s e v e r a l hundred students at the University
of Maryland put forward the Panther intent to u s e the University's Cole
F i e l d House for the. event. No formal r e q u e s t has been made h i t h e r for
the Field Hours or for the also mentioned Washington National Guard'
a r m o r y ) , but the P a n t h e r r w i l l probably not be allowed to use'Maryland
facilitier

On Labor Day the first convention s e s s i o n was held at Philadelphia


with v e r y m i n o r problems for the poll&;* That session, however,

followed a number of police shooting8 believed perpetrated by Philadelphia


P a n t h e r s which resulted in s e v e r a l police raids (and weapon configcations) of P a n t h e r buildings. A t Philadelphia 40 p e r cent of the 6,000 in
attendance w e r e white radicals and a like number can be expected at
Washington. All forces from the American left are now contesting for
co-option of this r a d i c a l political asset. The Davis plea for University
of Maryland facilities 'in behalf of the'Panthers was designed to c u r r y .
favor among the Panther.hierarchy. If t h e p a n t h e r s are granted the use
of College P a r k facilities, Davis is a herp; if they
.. a r e oqt, he-has still
gained m o t e favor than he has lort. . .

Washington w i l l b e somewhat disrupted by t h e P a n t h e r visit but


not t h e . F e d e r a l Government. Probable site of the convention is Howard
University.
Fall, General

Aside from those mentioned, no fall protest demonstrations of


consequence have been publicieed. Events have both the power to
trigger action (the Cambodian incursion) and defuse it (Ky's cancellation).
The tide of the Vietnam W a r , the Paris peace talks, and plans the
P r e s i d e n t m a y have for additional troop reductions (a-fter 15 October)
may influence the zeal of those protesting. Another Cambodia would
probably be at least as disruptive on American college campuses a8
last time.

With r e g a r d to terxorism, new left extremist groups(Weatherman for instance) have threatened violence against police installations
by bombing, a r s o n and &assination.
They have a l s o threatened the
8o-cdled c s t a b l b h m e n t htluding U. S. Oovernment officials. Tom
*
Hayden, veteran new left philosopher, in a n August a d d r e s s tp the
National Student Association convention glorified Tupamaros kidnappings
in the Argentine and the killing of the Marin County judge by black
escapees (the epirode for which Angela Davis is being sought). The New
Yearn' Gang, the group allegedly respaneible for the bombing on 24 Augu s t on the University of Wisconsin cadpus, 'has also threatened "open
warfare, 'I kidnapping of important officials and even assassinations.
Although much of such talk can b e dismissed as radical hyperbole,. it
must be conceded that a relatively small band of dedicated and dete*rmin%d
revolutionaries (reportedly there exist about 300 Weathermen broken
0
into small communes usually headed by women: the communes are
dirtributed in m a j o r American city r l u m s ) could r e a c h many t e r r o r i s t i c
goals. Although the probability of L d i n American style kidnappings m a y
not b e g r e a t in the U.S. at this time, the possibility should not be
lightly dismissed. It would be conststanthwith the belief-of s e v e r a l highly

The death of Martin Luther KING, Jr., the lack of a ~

i leader
c

t o replacs him, the weather and poor timing may cause the Poor People's
Campaign t o possibly end with Solidnrity h y on 19 June without the
high degree of violence that had been feared. The s t i m u l a t i n g force

(the students), which the Campaign appears t o ham been dependent upon,
may not be as strong as hoped for simply because by 19 June school vi11
be out and consequently the students may lack the cohesiveness there
may have been If such a raUy had been held durthe school year.

This IS not t o say however that there will not be agitation within
the next 2 4 2 weeks. The FBI has reported that -ti-war groups are
forming in Washington, D. C. t o coordlnate anti-war groups coming t o
Washington for Solidarity Iby. The Worker, In I t s May 2 h t issue, has
=de a strang appeal for another anti-war demonstration saying that
there has not been any a i t i v i t y In the U. S. since A p r i l and that
another "peace drive" is urgent. It complains that since the Paris
talks have begun the North Vietnamese alone have had t o carry the
burden of pressing f o r an end of the war in Viet Barn.

1.-

Stoney COOKS, SCLC Coordlnator of Campus and Student Activities, has


v i s i t e d a number of colleges i n an e f f o r t t o have students participate
I n the Poor Peoplg's Campaign. It has been estimated t h a t 5,000 students
will arrive in Washington during the next two weeks. 500 students are
reported t o have already arrived. SCII: efforts t o form a Poor People's
University in which the students w i l l participate, utilizing the
f a c i l i t i e s of five area colleges (Howard, American, Georgetown, George
Washington and Catholic), ran Into a snag.last week. .Thus far only
Howard and American Universities bave agreed t o provide classroom
f a c i l i t i e s but not dormitory space t o house the students. This e f f o r t
s t i l l perslats however. This week the Rev. Walter E. FAUFFROY, Chairxuan of the Washingtoh City Council and 1ocalSCIX: head, appealed t o
the presidents of Washington univursitles t o reconsider the* poeition.
The potential f o r violence 3x1 Washington,

I). C.

will depend upon

t h e succese that the Communists and BlackMilitants have in t h e i r united effort. It i e f e l t , however, that if violence occurs, i t w i l l
center around the war in V i e t Elam rather than around any efforts the
poor people may make t o b e t t e r t h e l r plight.

POOR PXOPLE'S CAhiPAIGN


Eolida'ritv Uav 19 June 1968
Bayard RUSTIN, who earlier this week announced plans and
objectives for the Solidarity Day March of the poor people,
suspended his activities in that regard on 5 June 1968.
Suspension of his activities- came about as a result of the
confusion within the ranks of the Poor People's Campaign
leaders over whether, i n fact, RUSTIN had been named
organizer of the Solidarity U a y hiarch and, because of disagreement with the announced objectives of the Campaign.

It must be expected that a goodly number of those who


participatedin the 1963 r a l l y w i l l return f o r this demonstmtion.

recruit 3ane 1600 my.?;hcls from f r r ? t c r n d organizations of
t h e Negro members of the N.Y. Police, Fire and okher Hunicipe.1
worker groups. Efiorte t o u t i l i z e colored police and military
veterans from other parts of the country are t o be mde.
Likewise an appeal has been made s o l i c i t i n g the rnsiotmce,.of
those %thoserved as marshals i n 1963.
Whether MTSTRI s effort6 can be coordinated with %IC .
leadership remains t o be aeen. The obvious emphasia is on
"black" control. It my be q e c t e d t h % t t h e mrshds currently
active i n Resurrection City and PPC activities w i l l be Given
Solidarity Day mr;igments. Coordination and organization of
the various f2ceta of this proposed llzas5 demonstrption will be
a trel;lenclous task. All participants &aret o ru-rnnge their otm
trzmportatfou t o the Capitol. RUSTIIi has already d e requests
t o the D.C. u d federal gopement agencies for assistc?.nce in
connection with first aid, sanitation, and other matters.

The program planned f o r t h e day has not been .?smoviiced


a t t h i o time but seem t o intend for J. liu&c @hering nt the
tkchington Monument at 10:3O A.M. followed by a mwch t o t h e
Lincoln Memorial at 1:30 P.M. Entertainment, speechs; nud
mus-ic will be offered.' Because of the close proximity of t h e Resurrection City enc&mpment t o t h e detnwnotrction site, it will
be d i f f i c u l t t o get the anticipated large crowd i n t o the E?rea
near the kiemorial. Loud-speaker ou$&ets will be located throwhout the area.

Suppressing guerrilla warfare operations i n the U.S.,

would pose "a most serious problem", he said, i f they were launched

CHAFTER I

- Communist Concepts of Guerrilla Warfare

Communists throughout the world have utilized the methods and


operations of "guerrilla warfare" t o harass, and i n some cases destroy,
those.governments they oppose. The format used is based on the use of
small armed bands of irregulars t o create anarchy and terror throughout
the general population as a means t o frighten and "awaken" the populace
of a specific region t o the p o l i t i c a l goals of the communists. The
only way guerrilla warfare can succeed is through the t a c i t support, or
ambivalence, of a large segment of the general population. This warfare
differs distinctly from "conventional warfare'' i n that i t demends a
military operation that is f l u i d and i n which the guerrillas, operating
i n "bands" rather than armies, never directly confront the government
forces i n measive or decisive battles. To annihilate big enemy manpower
and liberate land, guerrilla warfare must eventually move t o mobile
warfare. It is essential t o base most operations i n the countryside
and attempt t o make i t impossible for the government t o separate potential
and actual guerrillas from the rest of the population. Cuba demonstrated three important principles:

I n underdeveloped America the countryside is the basic


area f o r armed fighting.

Other factors are usually also necessary f o r a'guerrilla victory:


8

A campaign m u s t be conducted on an international basis t o


make it politically unfeasible for the opponent of t h e guerrillas
t o continue resisting.

The guerrillas must heve a privileged sanctuary t o which they


can r e t r e a t either w i t h i n the country or, more likely, an area i n
a n adjacent country which gives aid and comfort t o the guerrillas.
Communist organization and control of t h e guerrilla opemtion
must be concealed i n order t o win support and a i d of the general
populace and i n waging the international propaganda campaign.
The purpose of concealing the communist's creation of a guerrilla
movement and the use of a communist f r o n t apparatus t o run that
movement is toeneutralize those who can be neutralized and to
divide the enemy i n order t o s t r i k e a t him more effectively w i t h
a l l farces that can be united.

- The Revolutionary Action Movement

(FtAMl

The overt ramifications of the international communist schism are


reflected i n the communist movement i n the U.S.
The CPUSA reflecte.
the viewpoint of the Soviet government, while the Progressive labor
Party (PLP) and some black nationalist, semi-Marxist groups advocate a
policy closely resembling that of Communist China. Most of the smeller
communist factions lean towards the violent revolutionary urgiry;s of
the Chinese Communists, w i t h the exception of the Trotskyist groups who
s t i l l support some version of Trotsky's notion of "permanent revolution".
One of the newer communist groups, which identifies i t s e l f w i t h the
Chinese model of revolutionary warfare, is the RAM.

RAM was founded i n Philadelphia, Pennsylvania i n the Winter of 1963

who f8vorsd Robert WXXCUMS and the concept of ormnized violence".
RAM has operated under a number of different names including UINRU,
Afro-American Youth Association, and the Black Fanther Party (BIT),
While RAM I s relatively small i n numbers, it does have a groving
membership among young Negro extremists who, through a sense of
frustration, advocate c i v i l war. WIUUMS has sent an appeal t o
revolutionaries throughout the world t o support RAM i n its struggle.

- RAM'S New Concept of Guerrilla Warfare

The RAM concept of guerrilla warfare differs from trpditional


guerrilla warfare principles i n a mJor respect. Robert WIUAMS,
RAM'S mentor on violence, revolution and guerrilla warfare, has

densely populated. He believes his principles would enable neutrallzatlon of a highly industrialized nation's powerful military forces
and the most modern weapons og mass destruction. Briefly the concept
is f o r lightning campaigns conducted i n highly sensitive urban' communities w i t h the paralysis reaching the small communities and spreading t o the farm areas. The concept is t o huddle as close t o the enemy

day, sporadic rioting and massive sniping would occur. A t night, a l l out warfare, organized fighting and unlimited terror would be unleashed
against t h e oppoaAtion.

The report notes t h a t even with a l l of t h e writings and plans of

RAM there is no serious discussion of what would take place i n t h i s


country once the RAM members "galned power". The taking of power
implies
the people involved have some serious concept of what
"power" that
involves and also what constitutes a government. To date,
the people surrounding RAM have not given any Indication of such an
understanding. A tots s t a t e of anarchy could follow a r a c i a l c i v i l
war i n t h i s country. The report surmises that the followers of RAM
are so involved in t h e i r own brand of p o l i t i c a l insanity that they
seriously believe that once "power" is i n their hands, a governmental
structure w i l l automatically appear. The assassination of whites. and
even Negroes who do not support its program is part of RAM'S philosophy.

- The Harlem Riot - The F i r s t Clear Indication

This section relates how the Harlem r i o t of J u l y 196b gave the


first clear indication that the communists were deeply Involved i n
these distrubances and that they were actually training and directing
rioters. A r i o t is a complex organization. Although there is often a
single spark that ignites a riotous situation, it is never an isolated
specific that creates the major force behind the r i o t . Riots be they
racial, social or p o l i t i c a l are not created over one lone in'cident.
Conditims f o r a r i o t have t o build over a period of time. Anger grows
u n t i l one incident sends the people k t o the streets.

The Harlem r i o t , called a "rebellion" by the communists, was the


first major r i o t i n which Negroes began an almost systematic destruction
of t h e i r own "ghetto". It a l s o gave clear indications that the communists were actively engaged i n attempting t o create r i o t conditions
in most large c i t y black ghettos. A complete picture would depict the
communists as the major agitators i n the ghetto prior t o the r i o t s , and
once the f i o t s began, It is equally clear that they d i d everything i n
t h e i r power t o perpetuate them and to Intensify them where possible.

The PLP, which might accurately be termed the American arm of
the Chinese Communist International, differs from the CPWU over the
"means" to be used t o establish the same end communism. J u s t as
there is international conflict over "theory" between the USSR and
Communist China, so a r e there national conflicts between t h e i r advocates
throughout the vorld. The PLP conducked a more milftant campaign t o
discredit t h e police and t o inflame the people during the Harlem r i o t s .
The report's author was a.participant i n the PLP's e f f o r t s during t h i s
period and the report spells out PW's role then and i t is deemed
instructive because it shows exactly how the communists operate i n a
riot situation.

CHAPTER V - Cleveland - "Trained and Disciplined Professionals"


-

'.'

.Af

In Cleveland, Ohio the communists and black militant doctrine of


promoting and supporting the violence was clearly evidenced and a
specialgrsnd j u r y report clearly reflected t h e role of both.
"This jury finds that the outbreak of lawlessness and disorder
was both organized, precipitated and exploited by a relatively s m a l l
group of loud and disciplined professionals i n t h i s businese.

They were aided and abetted, wittingly or otherwise, by misguided


people of a l l ages and colors, many of whom are avowed believers i n
violence and extremismsand some of whom also are e i t h e r members or
officers i n the Communist Party.
The majority of the people i n t h e Hough area had no part in
e i t h e r the lawlessness or disorder. "

CHAPTER VI

- The Watts Riot -

A C i v i l Revolt?

The Watts r i o t ' o f Aogust 1965 was one of the most destructive and
ominous of any of the "ghetto" riots t o date. Today, the same conditions e x i s t that formented the original Watts r i o t w i t h the possible
exception that Eagitators are now a t work trying t o organize the
people.

The spark that apparently s e t i t off


an arrest, of a young
Negro f o r drunk driving followed by a family fight and c r i e s of "police
brutality"
was followed by the infamous phrase, 'burn, baby, burn".
The riot vas undoubtedly caused i n part by the resentment of the people
of the ghetto toward the police and white people i n particular. The
report reflects the opinion that "for some time, there has existed a
world-wide subversive campaign to stigmatize a l l police as brutal.
The cry of police b r u t a l i t y has been shouted i n c i t i e s a l l over the
world by communists, dupes and demagogues irrespective of the facts."
( t h i s is a 1965 quote from Los Angeles Mayor, Samuel W. YORW). The

- Conclusion

A Major Difference I n U. S. G u e r r i l l a Warfare

If guerrilla warfare were ever i n i t i a t e d i n the U.S. under the


conditions of irregular warfare as practiced i n Greece, Vietnam, the
Philliplnes, Algeria,' Cuba, etc. there would be one notable and hiCJhly
significant difference.
Terrorism and the a b i l i t y to be indistinguishable from the General
populace are v i t a l t o the success of a guerrilla campaign. Yet t h l a
advantage would not seem t o e x i s t according t o the designs of RAM and
others.

If a guerrilla war vere Initiated from the ghetkoa of our m j o r


c i t i e e calling for "black liberation", it would neceesarily e n t a i l a
r a c i a l c i v i l war i n which black revolutionaries would attempt guerrilla
warfare against the white population and the existing government.
This fact would necessarily make t h i s a unique guerrilla operation,
different i n a major respect from those abroad. The base of operations
would be i n t h e c i t i e s . It would attempt t o p i t one race against
another. Successful guerrilla operations have always depended upon
the guerrilla's a b i l i t y t o melt Into the general population and t o
win over a sizable segment of that population t o h i s ~ l i t i c sposition.
l
The concept of black guerrilla fighters vorkfng outside the ghetto i o
only conceivable in the South and even there the issue of race would
limit the potential of the revolutionaries.

.*!

Ro matter what the destruction and terrorism i n i t i a l l y Inflicted


by black guerrilla fighters, there is l i t t l e doubt that such a n upr i s i n g could be effectively and quickly controlled,
A guerrilla operation could depend on some communists, on u l t r a militant black nationalists, and a portion of the lawless elements i n
the ghetto f o r support, b u t it could not hope t o sway the majority of
Negroes. Secondly, the ghetto could be isolated and bottled up.

..

Thirdly, the wry nature of a conflict between black and white


effective l y prec ludee 'pro tec tlon f r o m detect Ion

Fourth, the guerrillas could not depend on outside countries a s


training bases or f o r lines of substantial support once the conflict
began.
Fifth, once effective counterinsurgency plans were placed into
operation and search and seizure operations were instituted, few Negroes
could afford to harbor the guerrillas
There is no doubt that %,concerted secretive operation on the part
of a small group of black militants and communists could possibly
create vast chaos f o r a short period and could result i n the death of
a significant number of innocent people, b u t it could never be successful In overthrowing the government.
The report then briefly suggests measures which could be taken t o
contain and defeat any such revolutionary uprising. The report concludes that when the groundwork has been l a i d by social conditions,
economic deprivations, c i v i l disobedience, subversion and p o l i t i c a l
skulldqgery, a r i o t I s born.

Logically, i t would seem improbable that even the communists would


rationally consider implementing a guerrilla operation i n t h i s country.

There is considerable evidence that not only some communists


factions I n the U.S. but also certain communist-oriented black natlon.Ae
a l i s t groups, are seriously considering the possibility of i n i t i a t i n g
armed insurrection i n t h i s country. They regard ghetto r i o t s as a
prelude t o general guerrilla varfare operations. They see t h e possib i l i t y of using Negroes a s the shock troops f o r a revolution. Believing
that t h e loem ghettos offer a baee f o r such operations, these "tscti.cians" think that there w i l l be b u t a short jump from r i o t s to a
genentl rebellion carried out along guerrilla warfare l i n e s . Their
guerrilla concepts are founded on raw racism, black man versus white
man.
Some communists believe the time is not yet ripe for a guerrilla
war and support only riots a t t h i s point. Others believe the time
has arrived and are doing everything they can t o p i t black against
white and vhite against black in a racially motivated insurrection
against the U.S

Both of these factions i n the communjst movement a r e now joined

ultramilitant black nationalist organizations. Together the two groups
pose a serious threat t o l a w and order and the security of the U.S.

I n t h e past months, communists and black nationalists have been


vorking overtime i n the various ghettos to further inflame the people
into taking violent action. Whether t h e i r e f f o r t s w i l l lead only

(Personal note of reviewer

It is generally believed that the Communist Party is n o t genuinely


concerned w i t h the plight of the black race except as it repre'eents
another means through which t o work toward t h e i r ultimate goal of
world domination by Communism. I n view of the remarkable social and
economic gains actually made by the American Negro i n the last decade
and the potential f o r further progress, it would seem conceivable that
the Communist Party, while espousing support of the NeCro i n h i s eft'orts,
would actually secretly desire and work for such a c t i v i t y by the Negro
a s would r e s u l t i n a major setback or abortion of h i s progress and
place him i n a position of greater discontent, frustration and need.
Rioting, disorder and even guerrilla warfare which would be doomed t o
f a i l u r e and probable harsh reprisal o r a t least would accentuate h i s
hardships may possibly be acceptable t o the Communist Party.)

SITUATION INFORMATION REPORT

It has recently been ascertained that Kathleen (nee NEAL)

t --+*

CLEAVER, wife of Eldridge CLEAVER, Minister of Information


of 'the militant black nationalist BLACK PANTHER PARTY, is the

e
.
:
.
*
.

daughter of Dr. Ernest NEAL, Deputy Director of AID Mission to


the Republic of the Philippines,
E r n e s t E. NEAL born 21 June 1911 in Tennessee. is an
FSS-1 appointed as Deputy Director f o r AID, Manila, Philippine
Islands on 13 September 1964. His daughter, Juette Kathleen (NEAL)
CLEAVER, AKA J. Kathleen CLEAVER and Kathleen CLEAVER,
address 850 Oak Street, San Francisco, California (1968). resigned
from the Peace Corps on 20 March 1965 to accept employment with
the Department of Commerce. Department of Commerce records
do not reflect this contemplated employment.

.*

Kathleen CLEAVER is, herself, a black nationalist revolutionary


and is the National Captain of Women and the Communications
Secretary in the hierarchy of the Black Panther Party (BPP). The
Black Panther P a r t y f o r Self Defense, now known merely as the
Black Panther Party, originated by Bobby SEALE (Chairman) and
Huey NEWTON (Minister of Defense) in October 1966 with headquarters
in Oakland, California, is believed by some to be a front for the
Student Non-Violent Coordinating committee (SNCC) and to be nearly
synonymous with the Revolutionary Action Movement (RAM). There
are, in fact, a number of B P P organizations, loosely knit as a group
but each formed at a different time by a different organization and
each operating somewhat independently with divergent activities
reflecting views of the immediate leadership of each. A l l a r e
militant, non-white parties o r branches based on principles of
"black power" and "black nationalism. " Whereas the B P P of
Alabama (BPPA), an outgrowth of the Lowndes Country Freedom.
Organization (LCFO), seems (May 1967) to continue to be primarily
concerned with Negro political unity, the New York City and California
groups have shown strong dispositions toward revolutionary activity.
The Oakland headquarters s e e m s to be the national headquarters and
base for the so-called National Central Committee. The B P P has
been actively supported by other Negro nationalist groups and
nominally supported by diverse organizations which appear to use
BBP's revolutionary aims to further their own causes. A number

of the leading activists appear to be members of several of the


organizations much in the nature of interlocking corporation
directorate 8 .

The following organizations have supported BPP in varying


degree 6:
'

The Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee


(SNCC); The Revolutionary Action Movement (RAM);
The Nation of Islam (NOI); The Muslim Mosque,
Incorporated; Yoruba Temple; T h e 'Organization
of Afro-American Unity; Afro-Americans Against
the W a r in Vietnam: The Congress of Racial Equality
(CORE); The Students for a Democratic Society (SDS);
The Progressive Labor Party (PLP): The W. E. B.
DuBois Clubs; The Young Socialist Alliance (YSA);
and The Socialist Workers Party (SWP).

In February 1968, the B P P effected an overt m e r g e r of s o r t s


with SNCC and at that time announced the election of the following
SNCC leaders to posts in the BPP: Stokely CARMICHAEL as P r i m e
Minister; J a m e s FORMAN a s Minister of Foreign Affairs, since also
cited as Minister of Black Religion; and H. Rap BROWN as Minister
of Black Justice.
Many m e m b e r s of the B P P hierarchy, a s well as the rank
and file, have police records for an assortment of violations.
Huey P. NEWTON is presently incarcerated in a California jail on
charges of m u r d e r , assault with a deadly weapon and kidnapping in
connection with the killing of an Oakland policeman and the wounding
of another. T r i a l is now set for 8 July 1968.
Eldridge CLEAVER, paroled in 1966 after serving eight years
on a 5 count 1958 conviction (two for assault with intent to commit
m u r d e r and three for ADW), was a r r e s t e d on 6 April 1967 along
with seven other BPP members and charged with assault with intent
to commit murder after an altercation with Oaklapd police during
which CLEAVER w a s wounded and B P P member, Bobby HUTTON,
was killed. During his year and a half of freedom on parole, CLEAVER
has been an author and a staff writer for RAMPARTS magazine.

After this April incident, CLEAVER'S parole w a s revoked.


While back in prison and facing trial on this n e w e s t charge, he w a s
presented as a candidate for the President of the U. S. AI nomination
on the Peace and Freedom Party ticket whose national convention is
in August. After much agitation i n his behalf by all s o r t s of black
militant and leftist organizations and individuals, CLEAVER was
released on bail and is currently active in making speeches and
personal appearances.

His wife, Kathleen, has been very active and very vocal in
h e r efforts to secure "justice" for Huey P. NEWTON and for CLEAVER,
and has made many appearances and speeches in their behalf a s
w e l l as in support of other black militant activities. She h a s been
in the company of Stokely CARMICHAEL and other revolutionaries
on a number of occasions.

In addition t o the two previous announcements of scheduled


events planned for July/August 1968, are the following a c t i v i t i e s
which have recently been surfaced.
It is apparent that both the Republican and Democratic
National Conventions w i l l be subjected t o considerable pressure,
harassment, and inconvenience, both while a t the Convention H a l l s
and while away from same. The Democrats apparently have been targetted f o r a greater degree of disruption. )Few of t h e a c t i v i t i e s have
been indicated a s intentionally disruptive or violent, b u t c e r t a h l y ,
given the emotionalism of the participants i n these assorted demons t r a t i o n s and marches and propagandizing e f f o r t s and given the desire
and intention of the appropriate forces of l a w , order and decorum t o
enable the Conventions t o conduct t h e i r business and pleasure w i t h
the l e a s t possible interference, there I s ample reason t o anticipate
that disorder in some degree w i l l occur.

Yesterday Gus Hall, the party's zcncral s c c r c t a r y vrlio maintains liinlself i n oflice almost solely by virtue of iris durable ties with Iv408cow, issued
a gingcrly (sic) statement on Czechoslovakia that -6
a rnastcrpiccc of
straddling the' issua.
The,statement was a clear attcwpt to finrl sonic rationale for supporting
Russian intervention in Czechoslovakia without fuTthcr a$i.enating tho partyns
dwincllini support among the young activists o l thc N c w Lcft and the NeZro
militanta. Gxperts familiar with the tormcntcd history of GPUSA do not think
it 'will succeed.

Tho ecnilc decay of CFUSA was wcll P.tlvnnccd evcn before the shock of
the Ctcchoslovakian invasion s e n t it into its Frescnt canvulsions. In the
loose c o d e d c r a t i o n of the N e w L c f t t b c r c were alrcady half a dozen political
ot,-anism6 which experts regardcd a s morc "purcO in their Marxist-Leninist
cloctrinethan CPUSA itself. Thcsc inclucl: the F r o g r c e s i v c Labor Party,
Trotskyite croups and c e r t a i n Negro militant groups.

"Far f r o m being the d i s a s t e r f o r thc NCVJ


Ltft.that%mly peoplc thout,ht
it would be," said one expert, "this is going io prove a tremdndous windfall
f o r tlreni. This will finish the destruction of CPUSA and lcavc all the clertlcnts
of thc far left no place t o go but to flock under the umbrella of the New Lcft.

T h i o is actually in microcosm what is ha?p?dng a11 over thc comrnunist


world the falling away of this generation frOXJ1 the koscow-dominated o r l c a ~m e thc
~ Sunsarian revolution, the
thogosy. It started with Tito, t

w i l l not be centered in hioscow. It will probably be clorninatcd by Luigi
Longo, the Italian communisi leader. 'I

Allegedly, over 7 0 0 persons from 96 cities had already


registered for the barley by midday of the 29th. The conference,
which is being heldin Philadelphia a t the invitation of the Philadelphia Council of'Black Clergy, is the first to actually be held
within a black community and anticipates participation by 1500
to 2000 Negroes. Representatives of some 600 organizations,
including the most militant in the nation, are being brought together. ,*-a7
E a r l y a r r i v a l s included Claifornia State Senator Mervyn

DYMALLY, Playwright L e r o i JONES, and the Rev. J e s s e JACKSON


.of'SCLC. Charleme MITCHELL, CPUSA's female Negro candidate
for the U.S. Presidency, reportedly will take p a r t in the conference
on August 29 and 30, 1968.
. .

It has been indicated that white persons will be excluded


f r o m participation and observance of the conference and white
newsmen were b a r r e d f r o m an opening day news conference
allegedly because white newspapers printed distorted s t o r i e s of
l a s t yearls Newark nieeting and because they haven't hired enough
Nggroes.

Although there is some concern that civil disturbance o r


violence might erupt during this conference, it is not considered a
grave threat. Most of the participants will be leaders of nonlocal
organizations and they will not have large numbers of their adherente with them. The majority of the Philadelphia host committee
is believed desirous of avoiding any confrontation between the
Philadelphia Police Department and the varioue groups. The word
went out that the hosts would provide the security. Reports had
first indicated that security for the conference would be provided
by the "Black Community Defense" (BCD), an E a s t Orange, N. J.,
organization believed to have supplied the security for the 1967
Newark conference. The BCD is a black militant group of about
60 m e m b e r s organized.somewhat in military format and reputedly
trained in karate, weapons use, etc. Robert HAKVEY, BCD leader,
reportedly advised h i s m e m b e r s that they would not handle the job
because financing was unsatisfactory. Latest word rcceivcd indicates
that H A R V E Y and about S o m e m b e r s of his organization a r e in
Philadelphia and piobably a r e providing the conference's security
and self-policing. Neither Rap BROWN nor Stokeley CARMICHAEL
is expected to attend.

SITUATIONINFORMATION
REPORT

A1though the Democratic National Convention has managed


to complete its business in Chicago without serious loss of life, limb
o r property, i t does not signal the beginning of a period of peace and
tranquillity throughout the nation. Except for the vast security m e a s u r e s
undertaken by local, state, and Federal authorities in connection with
the DNC, it is generally conceded that d i s o r d e r and disruption would
have been cuc alated.

All the elements that existed p r i o r to the Convention remain


and in some c a s e s have intensified. Although fortunate that serious
racial disorder did not erupt in Chicago and that m o s t dissident activists
w e r e hippies, yippies, anti-war demonstrators, and m e m b e r s of the
far left, the r a c i a l agitators and militants do r e m a i n and it is projected
that they w i l l become active again when faced with a less prepared
counterforce. Colleges and high schools w i l l soon be reopening and
there a r e indications that many a r e already marked for turmoil. The
presidential campaign will lend itself as a constant t a r g e t for disruptive
tactics or worse with many politicians using the stump for harangues
and agitation while others necessarily expose themselves to dissident
action o f all degrees. Tom HAYDEN and other l e a d e r s of the National
Mobilization Committee, obviously highly elated a t the s u c c e s s of their
efforts to bring about confrontations with the police and National Guard
at the Democratic National Convention, have already indicated that they
intend to u s e same or similar tactics to produce "other Chicago's1' and
will also s e e that the Presidential candidates and others a r e continuously
h a r a s s e d throughout the campaign period. Tom HAYDEN exulted that
the DNC was a "100% victory in propaganda. I'

SDS plans to disrupt the openings of m a j o r universities next


month. They hoped to gather new m e m b e r s f r o m the ranks of the
d i s s e n l e r s at the DNC. The 3 steps toward SDS are f r o m dissenter to
I
radical to revolutionary.

t h e i r determination to ."restiuctute" our society. One of the militant


spokesmen of this group stated, for example that, "perhaps 25 universities linfied to the movement would be too much for the p o l i c d o r the
dominant c l a s s and w e would get what'we demand. I' The New Left
l e a d e r s plan to launch a widespread attack on educational institutions
this fall. They a r e relying on collegiate dissidents and militants to
bolster and accelerate this drive. It would be foolhardy. for educators,
public officials, and law enforcement officers to ignore o r d i s m i s s
lightly the revolutionary t e r r o r i s m invading college campuses. It is
a serious threat to both the academic community and a lawful and o r d e r l y
society.

Racial riots "are likely to continue to wreak havoc and distruction


upon many cities in the n e a r future, I' the American Political Science
Association was warned 4 September 1968, by Michigan State political
science P r o f e s s o r s Bryan T. DOWNES and Stephen W. BARKS. They
cited that "violence has historically been an integral p a r t of the black
protest movement. I t Many blacks are now convinced they will be granted
social and political gains only i f they r i o t and "that there is no evidence
that the majority of white Americans eagerly look forward to integration. I'
They offered a table showing 239 cases of "hostile black protest outburststt
in 213 cities between 1964 and May 1968. Those disturbances lasted
a total of 523 days, involved 49,607 a r r e s t s , 7,942 wounded and 191
deaths. The P r o f e s s o r s noted that the nature of racial trouble has
changed. In e a r l y Southern-style riots, "whites attacked and killed
Negroes they thought were responsible for disturbing the state of affairs. 'I
During racial troubles f r o m 1920 through the 1950's, "Large numbers
of blacks and whites engaged in collective violence against e a c q t h e r . In
today's hostile outbursts blacks have been the p r i m a r y participants. I'
They concluded a l s o that a surprisingly large percent of blacks participate
i n racial troubles and support them.

i ;

The 14 August 1968 edition of the Crime Control Digest states that
"the pattern of civil d i s o r d e r s in 1968 has changed from the pattern that
prevailed in 1967 and thc elaborate U.S. Army, National Guard and
policc riot control program prepared to meet this y e a r s 'long hot s u m m e r '
will have to be changed if this y e a r ' s fype of civil distnrbance is to be
prevented o r controlled. This year's r i o t tactics have featured sniping
and hit and run tactics on the police, principally by Black Power
e x t r e m i s t s , but by teen-agers in a n j n c r e a s i n g number of instances. The
1968 occurrences were not explosions of pent-up emotions and frustrations
by residents of Negro ghettos, nor w e r e they t r i e r e d by happenstance

but r a t h e r they appear to have been deliberately planned.


While t h e r e is still a deep resentment against conditions on the
p a r t of a considerable number of Negro ghetto residents, the Negro'
community as a whole has not participated in the 1968 d i s o r d e r s to the
e x t e n f they took p a r t ' i n o r sympathized with the riots in 1967. Part
of this m a y be due to the program initiated by the NAACP, CORE-and
the National Urban League t o improve life in the big-city s l u m s , and
p a r t f r o m a decision not to tangle with the US. A r m y which would be
called if rioting of the 1967 type should break out. The ambush and
sniping tactics, principally by Black Power e x t r e m i s t s and the hit and
run tactics of the teen-agerr has never reached proportions that would
necessitate calIing in A r m y troops. While the 1968 d i s o r d e r s have not
been the m a s s i v e type o r as destructive as those that scourged Newark,
Detroit, W a t t s , and other cities, they have been m o r e numerous than
prevailed last year and they p r e s e n t problems against which o u t c i t i e s ,
s t a t e s and the F e d e r a l Government do not have a ready and s u r e - f i r e
response. I'
Editor's Note: It has been observed that the prompt and m a s s i v e "overreaction" by the Loa Angcles Police Department a t the time of the r e c e n t
d i s o r d e r s following the 3rd Watts Anniversary activities kept them f r o m
.significant acceleration. F u r t h e r , it w a s observed that the DNC diso r d e r s failed to induce participation by Chicago's black ghettos whose
l e a d e r s had ordered militants to cool it in face of the considerable
f o r c e s of law and o r d e r mustered in advance of the Convention.
A modern phenomenon which has evolved in the l a s t three or
four y e a r s is the vast growth of the Underground Press. Underground
means of mass communication utilized to avoid suppression by legal
authority a n d / o r attribution is not new to this age, but its volume is and
the apparent freedom and e a s e in which filth, slanderous and libelous
statements, and what appear to be almost treasonous anti-establishment
propaganda is allowed to circulate is difficult t o rationalize.

T h e r e a r e perhaps 150 200 underground papers, almost all


of them l e s s than 3 y e a r s old and most of them published under shaky
financial condition in l a r g e cities o r college towns. Largely created to
reflect and shape the withdravn life style of hippies and dropouts with
a successful formula based on sex, d r u g s , rock music, Oriental religion
and "the San F r a n c i s c o look" in psychedelic art, they have taken a s h a r p
turn toward radical politics. Now the material is yielding to coverage of

-0

:
'

student uprisings , the peace movement, guerrilla activities, draft


resistance and muck-raking attacks on the political and social establishment. Much of the disruptive activity so rampant currently is
propagandized and directed through the.facilities of this p r e s s and its .
e x t r a utilization for publicizing as well a s printing handbills ,, brochures,
and other aseorted items.
The underground journals range f r o m the b r a s h young political
papers like the Giant Speckled Bird of Atlanta, to the solid affluence of
the Los Angeles Free Press. But the general t r m d is toward radical
politics. Like many editors, Max SCHERR of the Berkelcy B a r b believes
that police Btharassmentllis ehe l a r g e s t single factor in politicizing the
alienated audience or underground papers. Much of the disenchantment
of tht".ower people and the like is now being channeled into political
radicalism by the war in Vietnam, p r e s s u r e f r o m the d r a f t and the
recent student revolts a t Columbia and the Sorbonne.
Since the 1 s t of the y e a r , the few older papers, such a s The
B a r b and The San F r a n c i s c o Free Press, have been joined by some 30
new radical underground papers, m o s t of them heavily influenced by the
leftist Students for a Democratic Society. Many of them, like the SDS,
consider American society hopelessly corrupt and advocate disruption
of "the system." Jn general the underground papers keep a s h a r p watch for
misconduct by the police and for any evidence, however tenacious, that the
U.S. is r u n by an interlocking directorate of the selfish and the complacent.
The B P P gets heavy coverage, but otherwise r a c e i s not usually a priority
i s s u e . News coverage is consciously subjective and one-sided. The theory
is that truth is rooted in personal experience, and that the standard news
media, by insisting on impartial and detached coverage, omit and distort
the underlying'reality of crucial news events. In s h o r t e r form, the
argument goes that no newspaper is objective 2 the underground papers
are just the only ones acknowledging it.
The papers are not held together by massive objectivity, but
by trust. This same t r u s t led to the "Underground Press Service:*an
agreement among some 60 underground editors to reprint f r o m one
anothct's papers without.specia1 permission, attribution or rechecking.
The underground papers are not a quality press. Eight out of 10 would
fail if a few phonograph record companies stopped advertising in them.
The advantage of the po1iti;al papers is that they know exactly
what their goal is, and a good deal of the i r e d i t for their rise if being
assigned to Liberation News Service. Liberation News was founded in
Washington, D. C. i n 1967 by Ray MUNG0 (Boston Universi6y-1966)

and Marshall BLOOM (Amhurst 1966), both radical editors of their


college papers. Pt provides inexpensive political coverage (&lS. 00
a month for 2 or 3 weakly packets) to 400 outlets, including s o m e 100
underground p a p e r s , and has reportedly persuaded many "drug culture''
papers to emphasize politics.
The basic belief is that a ''new journalism" is taking shape in
America, totally outside the province of Established Journalism and
that radicals a r d leading the movement. f t also a s s u m e s that the established media are incapable of printing the truth about anything
important. h a bitter dispuhe recently, the Liberation News Agency.
split into two factions, both of which a r e attempting to continue
t
publication as the one and o d y Liberation News Service.

Stokely CARMICHAEL, recently disassocialed from SNCC.


amidst much fanfare, reportedly may be trying to organize h i s own
group-or to establish an association with The Black Liberators, a
militant black organization with headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri.
He continues to speak out urging blacks to arm, p r e p a r e Lor g u e r r i l l a
w a r f a r e and to have an undying hatred for whites.
SOURCE: Police s o u r c e s through F B I IN 82365

Although CARMICHAEL seemingly has moved closer. to the


Black Panther P a r t y , i t appears that the B P P leadership is not yet
ready to further s h a r e their power. CARMICHAEL's ouster f r o m SNCC
has left SNCC with internal dissension a s a number of CARMICHAEL
supporters remain in SNCC and do not fully accept t h e current leadership.
The long m u r d e r trial of Huey P. NEWTON, Black Panther
leader, went to the jury on 5 September 1968. The only Negro m e m b e r
of the jury was elected its foreman. The verdict will be awaited with
considerable interest. Ever since NEWTON'S a r r e s t the c a s e has
received g r e a t attention and publicity and has marked by almost continuous protests and demonstrations. The B P P and others have threatened
extensive retribution if. NEWTON is not freed and has brazenly stated
that they will s e c u r e his release legally o r by other means. It m u s t be
assumed that a verdict of "guilty" will r e s u l t in some disorder and
disturbance. Its proportions cannot be forecast.

the student r i o t i n g in P a r i s t h e past spring. Scotland Yard offici all y
declined comment. The Times said simultaneous demonstrations were
planned in F r a n c e , Germany, and Italy. ,The' extremists have no connection with the. organizers of the demonstrations but .merely planned to
a c t during them. "The aims of these extremists s e e m to be to usurp
authority and disrupt the administration, I' the Times quoted a government
source as saying.

1 Novemberl968A "Monroe Court-in" is planned for Monroe, North


Carolina, if Robert F. WILLIAlylS, the radical black
nationalist, returns to face t r i a l OR a kidnapping charge,
etc. The protest and disruptive activity would be timed
for the presidential election. I t does not appear likely
that WILLIAMS will r i s k returning to face t r i a l although it
is possible that his ego leads him to believe that the threat
of violence if he were convicted, is sufficiently formidable
to assume that the court would t r e a t him gently.

The Educational Testing Service of Princeton, N. J., has rec e n t l y concluded a survey of the impact of t h e "Radical Left," on t h e
c o l l e g e campus. Since ETS conducted a s i m i l a r survey i n 1965 s e v e r a l
i n t e r e s t i n g t r e n d s and conclusions can be i d e n t i f i e d . Eight hundred
and sixty(four-year)college campuses were surveyed during the r e c e n t
study.

-..

Conclusions :

1. Though the number of r a d i c a l l e f t organization on U. S. college


campuses ( p r i n c i p a l l y the SIE) has doubled s i n c e the 1965 study
(264 t o 464 of campuses surveyed), membership remains about constant
(24 of t o t a l U. S. enrollment of 6.7 million).
2. An a d d i t i o n a l 8 t o 10% of college s t u d e n t s are considered sympat h e t i c t o the "movement f o r s o c i a l change" and c b be temporarily
a c t i v a t e d , depending on the issue.

3. The most f r e q u e n t l y p r o t e s t e d i s s u e s during the p r e s e n t study were


V i e t n a m ; dormitory r u l e s , c i v i l r i g h t s and s t u d e n t p a r t i c i p a t i o n i n
c o l l e g e government, I n t h a t order. I n 1965 ; t h e leading i s s u e s ( i n
o r d e r ) were: c i v i l r i g h t s , campus food and ,Vietnam.

4. Civi3 r i g h t s activism has declined s i g n i f i c a n t l y . White s t u d e n t


a c t i v i s t s appear t o be leaving the continuing c i v i l r i g h t s , b a t t l e t o
Negro a c t irists

5 . American policy i n Vietnam, t h e matter of g r e a t e s t concern t o protesters i n t h e r e c e n t s t u d y , involved only about 55 of .the s.tudents on

speculation that CLEAVER h a a left the country.

The NAACP in Frederick, Maryland,. has asked its


supporters to boycott sixty-three businesses it claims a r e owned
by people who supported George C. WALLACE in his campaign
for President. The manager of the Frederick Chamber of
Commerce does not believe the boycott w i l l have a significant
economic effect.

As p a r t of a new Movement strategy involving the aggressive use of legal action to defend the Movement and to place
the machinery of the Government on the defensive, representatives of sixteen left groups have joined in a suit filed 19 November
to challenge the constitutionality of the concentration c a m p provieions of the McCarran Act. Groups represented include:
Women Strike for Peace, National Mobilization Committee,
SDS, Southern Conference Educational Fund, P r o g r e s s i v e Labor
P a r t y , CPUSA, SNCC, and the DuBois Clubs.

The HCUA hearings on the disorders a t the Democratic


National Convention in Chicago have ended f o r this year. Acting

Heretofore when the student radical graduated f r o m college


he w a s faced with the reality of life in the environment. S h c e no
suitable forum existed the average SDSer was forced to make a
degree of peace with'the establishment f o r the purpose of keeping
bread on the table. Hence, w i t h the few exceptions pe'tsonified
by ItNewleft" hardcore leaders (such as: Tom HAYDEN, J e r r y
RUBIN, etc. ) the campus revolutionary w a s neutralized and
forced to play tlie' game by the established rules of society.

Signe now emerge that neutralization through graduation


may well be changing. At the 1966 National Convention of the
SDS the question of formation of a new organization w& resolved.

first year o r so. No serious effort was made in 1966 .to implement the MDS and therefore only a few groups w e r e started.

In the past y e a r f o r m e r SDSers have organized MDS


groups in many parts of the country. Some groups a r e organized on occupational lines; some, residential; and some,

The MDS chapters (the name varies from group to group)


s h a r e the anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist philosophy of the
SDS but so far as a national entity, have no universal politic.
. No formal coordination has yet been established between chapters
but formation of central policy and planning control can be
anticipated. Most of the MDS chapters a r e small (20 to 30 memb e r s ) but most feel they are making a n important and essential
beginning toward a mass new left insurgency in all a r e a s of the
society.

MDS is located a t 225 Lafayette Street, New York City.


The Daily World, east coast Communist P a r t y newspaper,
reported recently the rumor that the F e d e r a l Bureau of Investigations (sic) intends to initiate prosecution of Joan BAEZ for

ltso weeks ago Floyd McKfSSICK, .former national director


of COFE, announced plans for the creation of "Soul City" in W a r r e n
County, North C a r o l i n a . Although specific plans f o r Soul C i t y are
s t i l l being "finned up," McKISSICK's plans seem well-conceived and
r e f l e c t considerable thought Several pmminent people including
fomer Secretary of Agriculture, O r v i l l e F
"have supported
the McKISSICK "brain-child." It I s envisioned that Soul City amy
well be the prototype of f'uture black canrmunities thmughout the

'

south.
McKSSSICK knows that he must draw both capital and expertise from the white cananunity along with the support of white
p o l i t i c a l leaders h.nn the local, state, and national level. The
Soul City experiment i s enhancedby the fact that a very poor
county in North Carolina has been selected. Warren County with a
present population of 18,000 i s economically i n the lowest 10th
of North Carolina's 100 counties with an average annual. median
income of $l,958. Awther, Warren County i s the only county in
North Camlina with a present Negro population that outnumbers
white. Public achool enrollment is over 75 percent IVegro. !&ere
are no major towns (Ikrrenton, the county seat with a population
of about 3,000 i s the principal urban center.)

McKISSICK presently holds an option t o buy a former


cotton plantation containing 1,810 acres a t a rate of appmximately
The plantation
$215.00 per acre (total quoted cost $390,000.00).
lies on or near major rail and highway transportation routes and
is near a @od mter supply.
The sole economy of Warren County, agrlculture, has
been depressed since at least early 1 9 2 0 ' s when the boll weevil
killed Icing Cotton. Tobacco i s now the main crop but Warren County
is actually on the fringe of the good tobacco land i n the C a r o l i n a
Coastal plain (most of t h e county lies i n the poor s o i l Piedmont
region) The greatest %ope f o r the county economically is indust r i a l i z a t i o n and McKISSICK says several large national corporations
have made f a i r l y finn conanitments t o locate i n Soul City. McKISSICK's
k r r e n County lawyer who contracted the land option, T. T. CuuprorJ
.
(the first Negro lawyer i n 'the county), s t a t e s that a number of
vhite businessmen a h bankers are also interested i n the pmject.

About 10 percent of the ISE student body including four


American grsduate students were lnvolved in a recent violent
desncmstration. FoUnVing the demonstration the s-1
was closed.
The participants were described by a member of Parliament as
anarchist and a new brand of remlutionarles for wham, as yet,
there i s no name. They are not Socialists nor even respectable
Marxists, states the Parliamentarian. Members of the B r i t i s h
Parliament can be' expected to press the Education Ministry for
direct action t o return tranquility t o the campus. Since nearly
all B r l t l s h students receive government grants for education,
the vlthdzawal of f'unds t o those taking part in disruptive dissent
a c t i v i t i e s will probably be the fonn of government action t o end
the l e f t i s t tbreat t o the traditional British academ$c system.

Another t a c t i c for dealing with student protest was re=


cently demonstrated at -the University of IUIROBI in Kenya. On
Frlday,January 24, the 1,200 students i n i t i a t e d a boycott of classes
when the national apposition leader, Oginga ODINGA was ref'used
pcnaission t o speak. The students boycotted i n a demand for
Academic freedom. On Monday, Jan27, Kenyen President Jaw
KEIQyATllA dispatched' 200 policemen and closed the University.
Hundreds of foreign students were evicted fran dormitories and
many now have no travel money and nowhere to stay. The Kenyan
government ha8 not said when, if ever, the Uaiwrsity will be
reopened. The closure action was taken after the studenbs defled

a government order to return to clacxes. The Kenyatta overreaction


certainly solves an immediste pxublm. Over the long hau, however,
It would seem ill-advised to deprive the country of sorely-needed
acadnnic pmficiency. The outside observer wonders If 8Qme.accoanwdation could not hrrve been found or a t l e a s t BQught.
Warren EINCKLE, III, resigned haterday as president and

Since t h e completion of this responsible and comprehensive


study, several events point t o a stronger stand by college

'

administrators. The Indications are that although the students


will press f o r more academic freedom and s e l f determination, the
"establishment" w i l l r e s i s t with increased vigor. Several baromet e r
events are: (1) The s t a n d of the governor, regents and admini s t r a t i o n a t Ean Francisco State; (2) The criminal indictments
Fernando Valley
brought against the leaders of the revolt at D&I
College; (3) The re-establishing of on campus Job interviews

among other things, connects campus r i o t s w i t h hard core old l i n e
communists. This connection vill undoubtedly cause the "casual"
SIS'er t o reappraise h i s campus a f f i l i a t i o n s .

One graphic example of the great power of a f e w a c t i v i s t

is the recently concluded meeting of the 8DG a t Ann Arbor,


Michigan. The National Interim Committee of the SDS Just
barely suceeded i n holding the national leadership of the Sll
against a extremely strong challenge by the Youth Socialist
Alliance.

The Ann Arbor meeting issued f o r t h a very shaky SEE leadership


that has been alerted, clearly t o the f a c t t h a t the organization,
and the national leadership of it, is a most enticing target for take
over by the w e l l organized, strong ideological, old l i n e communist
o r m i z a t i o n s . One large crumb that the SEE leadership was forced
t o throw the YSA was, no demonstrations a t the inaufy~ration. For
some reason demonstrations on January 20 are not i n the YSA or the
,SP time table. It is believed t h a t through YSA pressure on SIX
leadership, urged on by a feu black SDB'ers (who believe that demonstrations i n Washington w i l l h u r t the D.C. black community most)
t h e SIE leaders vere forced t o issue' a statement of "no demonstrations I n Washington." Their reason, they feel, that If they demons t r a t e i t will show their contempt only f o r the Nixon administration

ceremony on Inauguration Day (Jan. 20) and the lengthy
parade that follows.
This years Inaugural is unique in that it seems faced with
dangers and tensions which will continuously threaten untow a r d incidents o r worse. Various dissident groups have
already indicated t h e i r intention to use this period b y taking
advantage of the national and international focus of the news

of the local colored population who allegedly feel that they

and d i s o r d e r w i l l b e minimal---they a r e nearly always p r e s e n t these days and the t h r e a t will be amplfied during this
period.
Despite protestations by organizational l e a d e r s that confrontation is neither planned nor desired; both the scheduled
actions and the improbability of controlling individuals,
will make for a tense period at best. Increased activity by
criminal elements can be expected despite the increased
s e c u r i t y precautions and full use of police personnel. It
can be assumed that t h e r e w i l l be s o m e a r e a s in which law
enforcement forces will n e c e s s a r i l y be maintained a t a minimum becauae of heavy preoccupation w i t h m o r e sensitive

unintentionally or inadvertently upon security personnel, a
most difficult situation w i l l be presented them--How to effectively handle the problem without taking m e a s u r e s which
would almost s u r e l y involve innocent bystanders. While
consideration of the possible adverse propaganda effect

propaganda and subversive machinery in that direction.

New York o r perhaps the t o s Angeles Monitor School, and
Dean PAPPAS of Baltimore will t r a i n the m a r s h a l s . Allegedly the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLS)
h a s agreed to supply all of the communications s y s t e m s to
be used by d e m o n s t r a t o r s on J a n u a r y 19. This will include
bullhorns , handi- talkies, and mobile units.
DAVIS also claims that SDS in WDC is cooperating with
NMC in planning for the Inaugural demonstrations, in
spite of the r e c e n t SDS national council decision not to p a r ticipate. The following individuals a r e reported to now
(1/6) be in D.C. working with the NMC staff to organize the
Inaugural activity: Peggy BROWN, F r a n SCHREIBER, and
Debbie FRANKEL, all believed to be f r o m New York; Onka

The position of SDS in regard to t h e Counter-Inaugural s e e m s


to have evolved into a decision at the national level not to
co-sponsor nor to officially support it; howevcr, local groups
and i n d i d d u a l s will be active. At a meeting of the National
Interim Committee of SDS in mid-November, SDS rejcctcd *
proposals by NMC that SDS co-sponsor the demonstrations.
One r e a s o n for rejection reportedly was a fear that NMC
would again dominate t h e political posture of t h c action while
SDS m e m b e r s b o r e the brunt of confrontation with the police.

Michael KLONSKY and some other principal officers of


.
SDS wanted to demonstrate during the Inauguration a s a
national entity. The leadership, however, was persuaded
or forced to cancel demonstration plans by the Young Socialist Alliance (youth section of the Socialist Workers Party)
and representations of the black militant groups who are
a l s o SDSers and w e r e delegates to the Ann Arbor conference. Although t h e r e will be no national endorsement, local
chapters of SDS a r e free to demonstrate.

le:;

The Black Caucus implied that black militants w e r e in


charge of Washington and any plans f o r the District had to
be cleared with them. The SNCC representative at the conference told the SDS flatly to s t a y away from Washington.
He told the delegates t h a t he and hie people had guns and
t h e r e could be a confrontation with troops during the Inauguration. In a Black Caucus statement, SDS was warned
(or threatened) t h a t if SDS held demonstrations, r e p r i s a l s
would be considered against those participating after t h e i r
r e t u r n home. One negro said that if SDS came to Washington to tell blacks how to run the working c l a s s struggle they
would get their heads blown off.
Proposed demonstrations against the Justice Department
and State Department during the Inauguration w e r e defeated.
One delegate (an anarchist f r o m t h e Columbia University
r i o t s ) stated that hit-and-run guerilla tactics will be used
in Washington to confront the police and that demonstrators
will be protected and armcd with clubs. During a group
discussion, one individual stated he had heard others d i s cuss making a homemade rocket for an assassination attempt on the President. Other participants w e r e strongly
opposed to such action.

have requested that the University make conference, sleeping, and eating facilities available to the demonstrators.

No response has y e t been made by University officials,
although it is understood that officials at George Washington University turned down a similar request. Another source
stated that Rev. Chas. ROTHER had turned down an N M C
request that SDS at American University participate. An
American u n i v e r s i t y SDS leader h a s stated that a conference will be held in D.C. on the 19th of J a n u a r y and that a
decision to have a "head- splitting confrontation" with the
police would come out of that conference. H e a l s o indicated
that a separate Inaugural P a r a d e m a y be held by d e m o n s t r a tors on the 20th.

The SDS chapter at George Washington University had requested the u s e of University facilities for holding meetings
and demonstrations during this period but was allegedly denied its request. It estimated that 3000 to SO00 p e r s o n s
would be p r e s e n t on the campus. Activity on the campus
will include a "state of the union" a d d r e s s , a s t a t e m e n t
of t h e constructive aims of the New Left Movement, and
a "Festival of Life". The G W U SDS has a l s o reportedly
inquired concerning the possibility of obtaining a demonstration p e r m i t for s o m e area in D. C. Reportedly, the
P a r k Police Dept. has advised that "no" p e r m i t s will
be issued by them f o r demonstrations on 20 January.

black militant groups in an effort to disrupt the Inauguration.
Possible r e s u l t and/or objective is the initiation of Washington r i o t s reminiscent of April 1968. Moderate student
l e a d e r s have asked GW a d m i n i s t r a t o r s to hold the fall term
final exams p r i o r to 20 January to get t h e fall term over
before the trouble starts.

The University of Maryland SDS is planning a "counter-inauguration" representing the "government of the people
in exile". One proposal is to m a r c h from different points
'
in Washington and a r r i v e at the Capitol grounds 2 hours
after the Nixon Inauguration has ended. SDS spokesman
states that the SDS doesn't want another Chicago and if trouble
o c c u r s i t will not have been ihitiated by the SDS. SDS expects the counter-inaugural mobilization to unite SDS with
various pacifist groups including the W a r Resistance League
and the Women Strike f o r P e a c e group.
At Ohio State, SDS sought volunteers to a s s i s t in cootdinating demonstrations by SDS chapters a t t h e Inauguration.
SDS leadership hopes each state w i l l establish a center to
coordinate activities of participants f r o m that state. The
Ohio State SDS is attempting to organize a round t r i p b y
bus to participate. An SDS representative from Ohio r e p o r t edly, advised RENNIE DAVE that his organization favors
a confrontation with D. C. police on 20 January. The proposed theme of the Ohio SDS is "You can win but you can't
govern".

SDS decided at a regional SDS conference at Kent, Ohio that


meetings should be held in D.C. on January 18 t o d i s c u s s

that SDS should movc ahcad of t h e NMC in planning Inaugu r a l action because NMC favors symbolic r a t h e r than militant action. (Ed. note: Additional support t o theory that
NMC l e a d e r s , while professing d c s i r e for o r d e r l y protest,
would r e a l l y like to see disruption and d i s o r d e r o c c u r but

Allegedly- SDS leader at Loo Angeles Valley Junior College, Van Nuys, California has stated that he discussed
(mid-Nov. ) the Inaugural demonstrations with SDS national
leaders and that an attempt will be made to disrupt the Inauguration on 20 January.

It is understood that the Philadelphia chapter of SANE h a s


c h a r t e r e d 10 buses to travel f r o m Philadelphia to Washington and r e t u r n on January 19. Although earlier r e p o r t s indicated that Rev. Ralph ABERNATHY and o t h e r s f r o m the
Southern Christian Leadership Conference'(SCLC) planned
to demonstrate in s e v e r a l ways at the Inauguration "to d r a m atize the plight of the black people to the new President",
the latest information suggests that neither ABERNATHY
n o r SCLC contemplates any activity or disturbance. It is
reliably reported that ABERNATHY expects t o receive an
invitation to the Inaugural Ball. Whether he would attend
d r e s s e d in his PPC ;coveralls' is not known.

Rather surprisingly, v e r y little in connection with Inaugu r a l protest has been heard f r o m J e r r y RUBIN and h i s Youth
International P a r t y (Yippies). This group, which was l a r g e l y a put-on by a few individuals and is not a sizeable active
organization, managed to obtain voluminous publicity and
considerable Hippie support for their mad-cap antics at the
DNC and as a r e s u l t was a r e a l t h r e a t to law and o r d e r .
Reportedly, the Yippies plan a p r o t e s t in Washington d u r ing the Inauguration to protest the w a r , r a c i s m and police
repression. One event planned is a counter-inaugural ball
where a symbolic ttin-hog-urationtt of a pig will be staged
t o reflcct.the Yippie view that American politics is absurd.
P e r h a p s thc fact that both Jerry RUBIN and Abbie HOFFMAN,
Yippie l e a d e r s , have had a number of encounters with the
law in recent months, has dampened their d c s i r e for confrontation. Admittedly, this is wishful thinking and t h e
Yippies and Hippies- -although seemingly movements on the
wane--may still generate some disruption J a n u a r y 18-20.

January 1820 Cont.


The National GI-Civilian Anti- W a r Action Conference held
in Chicago in late December adopted a resolution to support
the plans of the NMC during the Inaugural. It has been reported that the NMC is attempting to r e c r u i t A r m y f e r s o n ne1 to participate in scheduled demonstrations during the
Inauguration. Bus transportation will allegedly be provided. Buses are to leave from: Columbia, S. C . with troops
from Ft. Jackson; Atlanta, Cia. with troops from Ft. McPherson; Richmond, Va. with troops from Ft. Lee; Newp o r t News, Va. with troops f r o m Ft. Eustis; and Nashville,

The plan is f o r A r m y personnel to attend s e m i n a r s on 18


January and demonstrations on 19 J a n u a r y in connection with
the Inaugural on the 20th.
Presumably, GI's who have affiliated with the "American
Servicemen's Union" ( M U ) m a y be induced to participate
if p a s s e s a r e available. Others will, of course, a l s o be
sought after

In mid-December, F r a n k COLLINS, c h e m i s t r y P r o f e s s o r
a t Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute and l e a d e r of the University Committee on P r o b l e m s of W a r & P e a c e , announced that

Approximately 80 m e m b e r s and/or supporters of the Coalition for an Anti-Imperialist Movement (CO-AIM)met
in NYC January 5 to discuss tentative plans regarding Inaugu r a l activities, especially "confrontation sites". The two
sites suggested w e r e an empty lot on Pennsylvania Avenue

on Pennsylvania Avenue. CO-AIM is intcrested in t h e Pa.

Along with numerous demands f o r "Black Studies"


p r o g r a m s emerging on today's high school and college campuses is included the demand for a. course in Swahili. The
language will probably be included as an elective in Washington, D.C., high schools next year. Some high schools
and colleges around the country in areas of heavy Negro population are already offering the language.
addressing the
question: m y Swahili as a symbol of Black P r i d e ? , Dr.
Joseph APPLEGATE, director of African Studies at Harvard
University suggested that it might be because the language
ie mentioned in books, movies, and on televirion more fraquently than other African langwger.

..-

a ".L.

Actually Swahili has little heritage connected significance f o r the American Negro. Swahili (and its 15 dialects)
is spoken primarily in E a s t e r n Africa while most American
Negroes come from Western Africa.
During the e a r l y 19th century, Swahili was spread from
the east coast inland by A r a b slaves and ivory caravans.. It is
p r i m a r i l y a spoken language. Its e a r l i e s t literature was in
Arabic script and only by the end of the 19th century had the
Roman alphabet been applied to it. It is extremely difficult
to speak and poor in written literature ,restricted principally
to poetry, d r a m a , and folk stories that have been handed. down
by word of mouth. Of the world population 12 million speak
the fifteen dialects of Swahili compared with 314 million who
speak English, 188 Million who speak Russian, 179 million
who speak-Spanish, I20 million who speak German, and 75
million who speak French.
Advocates of Swahili s a y it's a useful mental discipline like any other language. Thereby they are unintentiona l l y implying that study time could otherwise be much m o r e
profitably spent.
Roy WILKINS, head of the NAACP has come out
strongly against the camphs black militant who demands
separate housing facilities and ajl autonomous black studies
program. WILKINS views the present day clamor toward

a black identity by the college Negro as racially counter-productive and tending to destroy the'progress made by the NAACP
since the e a r l y 1930's. The objectives of WILKINS' Organization
has been and remains the obtaining, through legal and constitutional means, multi-equal opportunity in a non-segregated society. The emergence of CORE, SNCC; Black Panthers, Black
Student Union and other youth oriented black r a c i s t phenomena
are naturally repugnant and undermining to the basic philosophy
of NAACP. WUIWNS stated a t the recently held NAACP annual corporate meeting in New York that the demands of today's
black college studentirepresent : La essence the retting up of
racially bia6ed Jim Crow Schools. The use of public tax
monies for such a purpose, WLLKXNS believes and NAACP
lawyers believe is unconstituional.
Although the organization does not oppose the teaching
of courses in black studies, and in fact has a program to encourage such courses in high schools and colleges, the NAACP
is prepared to go to court suing: on the basis of their belief
that tax funds cannot be used to create and maintain segregated
facilities.

SITUATION INFORMATION REPORT

Bobby SEALE, Black Panther P a r t y chairman has recently


called Ron KARENGA "a reactionary nigger" and the battle for
supremacy (and maybe Burvival) continues to rage in radical black
militant circles in southern California.
Since the m u r d e r a few weeks ago of two Black Panthers at

UCLA, KARENGA'e organization lWSt' has Suffered a s h a r p d r o p

the W e s t , KARENGA's statement denying responsibility for the
killings was relegated to Page 5, Section B. (KARENCA, incidentally, dismissed the killings as *'a student incident.

It appears that p r o g r e s s within Los Angeles's Negro community has come to a virtual standstill following the Panther m u r d e r s . One major meeting sponsored by the Watts Community
Labor Action Committee scheduled for F e b r u a r y 7 - 9 was cancelled.
The .meeting was planned for ninety public and private Negro organizations including representatives f r o m both *'USt1and the

Panthers.
The chairman of t h e Los Angeles Black Congress (an
alleged umbrella group) has resigned. Since llUS1t has been a
significant force within the Congress, the Panthers have seriously
attacked it. The resigning chairman, Walter BREMOND, e x p r e s s
ing the view that there is a mood for confrontation between opposing Negro groups recently stated: "We are a t the stage of our development where w e have to understand that it is now essential and
mandatory that all black community organizations and institutions
be responsible and accountable to the black community.
Other
black community spokesmen have warned that internal fratricidal
warfare may take place unless *communications within the black
community a r e established in a very s h o r t time.

Tensions a r e aggravated by numerous reports of provoca.

Negro history courses on Washington area campuses are


proving t o b e v e r y popular. As the spring semester opens all area
colleges now offer such a course with the exception of Georgetown.
Georgetown, however, has offered the-Negro history course
during past summer s e s s i o n s and will include it on a regular
b a s i s next September.

Howard University's History DepartJnent chairman, Dr.


Elsie M. LEWIS states that Howard has been offering courses in
African and American Negro history for fifty years. Because of
their pioneer image, Howard has in recent y e a r s received hundreds-of requests f r o m colleges and universities all over the

country for advice in setting up Negro history courses.
At the University of Maryland, planning estimated 127

Two hundred and fifty signed up for the course and because of
student interest the c l a s s has been enlarged (and probably
sectionized) to accommodate all interested students.

The CPUSA has once again displayed its inflexibility i r


its effort to perpetuate the tired line of the e a r l y 1930's. At a
recently concluded .national conference of the W. E. B. DuBois
Clubs of America (a CPUSA youth organization) held at Chicago,
''a new direction for the clubs" was s e t , "a working class'ldirection. The meeting was attended by seventy-five young people from

minorities, end the w a r , international solidarity, etc.

It is this very unrealistic and stagnant philosophy of

to splinter in the past s e v e r a l decades. While the CPUSA and

br. K A Y A K A ~ Athe determined head of beleagured


San F r a n c i s c o State recently faced a congressional cpmmittee

'

to answer questions designed to shed m o r e light on the true


cause of student revolt on his California campus. Dr. HAYAKAWA .
answered in p a r t that the nihilistic elements both within and without
SFSC w e r e determined to 'simply bring down the school and close
i t up. Then, Dr. HAYAKAWA believes that the radical revolutionaries in a state of nihility intend to do the best they cart.with
"participatory democracy.

. ...

TO illustrate his belief in the third world'ers intent,


Dr. HAYAKAWA spoke of the fifteen demands that the radical
. leadership says a r e non-negotiable. Of t h c fifteen, some a r e
reasonable and some( most) a r e not. Of the reasonable demands,
the Administration in most case has long since initiated action
f o r improvement in existing structures o r has in some cases
laid plane for new departures to a s s u r e that contemporary
education is responsive to contemporary community needs. One
example of the colleges efforts a t synchronization is Demand No. 1
that all Black Studies courses being taught through other departmegts be immediately made part of th'e Black Studies Department.
Robert SMITH, Dr. .HAYAKAWA's predecessor as p r e s i dent of SFSC answered Demand No. 1 l a s t November this way:
The twenty black courses currently offered w e r e proposed by
Dr. NATHAN HARE, acting chairman of the newly established
Black Studies Department, and a r e presently staffed by personnel agreed upon by HARE. This, said SMITH, is an interim
arrangement while the curricular proposals made by HARE
move through required channels. Even with full approval a t all
1eve 1s (faculty cur r ic ulum c ommi tte e, unde r g radua te cur r ic ul urn
committee, instructional policies committee, and faculty Senate)
the Department of Black Studies cannot legally be implemented
until fall 69. It i s preducted, however, that the'Department
will, under the present extraordinary circumstances, s t a r t in
the spring s e m e s t e r in an effort to return the campus to something near normal a s soon a s possible.

HARE, by the way, who was recently a r r e s t e d by


San Francisco police for participating in a campus riot and
possibly,other charges was fired from Washington's Howard
University several years ago for his involvement in student

..

Obviously, SFSC bought trouble when they


hired HARE but probably felt that his reputation a s an educator
and Sociologist overrode his known advocacy of nigritude and
to this end his reputation as a racial "Hair Shirt; I'
protest activities.

* I .

The Black Student Union (one m e m b e r of the F r o n t


s p o n s o r h g thenihilism at SFSC) authored Demand No. 7 which
is one of the many that Dr. HAYAKAWA regards unreasonable to
s a y the least. The demand that Dr. Helen BEDESEM be fired as Financial Aid Officer and a black person be hired and that the office
be administered by "Third Worldt1people was explained by the
BSU thusly: "Helen BEDESEM represents the old antebellum
plantation mistress, the showpiece of the sJavemaster who
decides what the field niggers need and don't need: We want
her replaced with a Third World person who is absolutely
responsible to Third World and poor students, not a house
nigger, Uncle Tom, Ti0 Taco, o r a Charlie Chan."

SMITH addressed Demand No. 7 in November of 1968 also.


He said then that this demand will not be given serious consideration. L a r g e l y through her efforts, Federal money available to
SFSC students has increased from $250,000 in 1962 when she
assumed h e r post to $2,500,000 today. She, because of her
ability, has been asked to s e r v e on national committees which
a r e in a position to influence federal and state legislation.
Her staff of fourteen includes five representatives of black,
brown and oriental groups who s e r v e a s student assistants and
in clerical and professional positions. It is not believed that the
college w i l l d i s m i s s BEDESEM but will probably i n s e r t a black
with the title of "assistant.

D r . HAYAKAWA who replaced SMITH in December 1968


stands resolute and supported f r o m the top. The nihilists will
not close SFSC says HAYAKAWA and he sounds like he means
it. The troublemakers, the Third World Liberation F r o n t (an
unfathomable misnomer), who comprise a m e r e 4 percent of
the school's enrollment, in the meantime, move their miscreant
revolt to the site where many observers think the r e a l showdown
will come a c r o s s the bay at Berkeley.

after Congressional debate which saw a fight by two f o r c e s to
defeat the move. One group fought to abolish the Committee

subcommittee. Final approval of the change in n a m e came on
a vote of 305 to 7 9 after opponents had faileg to block consideration by an earlier vote of 262 to 123. This was the'best showing
by opponents of the Committee i n nearly twenty y e a r s of attempts
to abolish it.

The only apparent use for Swahili is to "turn on" the

Berlitz language school for instance had only four Swahili

university even offering Swahili is Howard (Howard has
offered a degree in African culture for fifty y e a r s ) and

T h e Reverend Theodore M. HESBURGH, P r e s i d e n t of


N o t r e Dame University has i s s u e d a "get tough" letter to both
faculty and student body.
F a t h e r HESBURGH'a policy of suspension, expulsion,
and arrest was apparently triggered by p r o t e s t s a t Notre Dame
last week after he banned a n a r t exhibit and film during a
i
campus conference on pornography and censorship.
The l e t t e r spelled out a series of steps the University
would take against anyone or any group that substituted force
for rational persuasion be it violent or non-violent. The new
policy gives students and faculty m e m b e r s gnly minutes to
halt p r o t e s t activities which disrupt the n o r m a l operations of
the University o r infringe upon the rights of others.
Reportedly the SDS at American University, Washington.
D. C., is considering taking some action as a r e s u l t of the
r e l e a s e of three t e a c h e r s from the University who have been
active in new left activity there.

Washington, D. C. The SDS a t George Washington


University plans to demonstrate on a weekly basis against the
presence of all r e c r u i t e r s on the George Washington University
campus. On 19 F e b r u a r y , demonstrations a r e planned against

THE N E W MILITANCY
Americans e v e r p r h e r e are concerned about the what
t
and why of militancy and dissent.

In San F r a n c i s c o one of the men most concerned and


m o s t informed is Inspector Tom FITZPATRICK, d i r e c t o r of
the Police Department's intelligence unit. He and his staff
of experts daily p r o c e s s a flow of informatinn f r o p the a r e a
and around the world.
FITZPATRICK is San Francisco born, 32 y e a r s on
the force. He is vice-chairman of the Law Enforcement
Intelligence Units, a national police network.
Here FITZPATRICK answers questions concerning the
r e c e n t course of campus militancy, in the Bay A r e a and e l s e where.

A R E YOU C O N C E R N E D ABOUT CAMPUS MILITANCY?

..

It is one of the m o s t s e r i o u s threats of our times. The


damage done to the educational process is incalculable. But
m o s t dangerous of all is the fact that successful accomplishment
of the a i m s of campus militancy-when it o c c u r s - a l s o accomplishes
one of the m a j o t goals of revolutionary plan that we know exists.
Give the s u b v e r t e r s control of education and their fingers a r e
really around the throats of the next generation. J u s t a s we know
there is conspiracy against our way of life we a l s o know that
grabbing o r destroying schools is one of five basic steps of the
c u r r e n t revolution.
WHAT ARE THE FIVE STEPS?

T o obtain control of education, transportation, communications, labor and, o r government. The revolutionaries believe
complete control of any one of these a r e a s , o f activity equals

. .'

victory. Envelopment .ofthe educational p r o c e s s is their main


r i m at the moment.

DOES COMMUNISM-INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL-RELATE TO


THIS PLAN?
W e strongly feel it is no m e r e coincidence that m o s t of
the Leaders in r e c e n t demonstrations e i t h e r are o r w e r e m e m b e r s
of the Communist P a r t y o r some revol'utionary organization. Nor
is it without significance that the pattern of agitation and action
neatly conforms to procedures c a r r i e d out by Communists o r
revolutioaaries elsewhere and at other times.
*

DO POLICE AROUND THE W O R L D INDICATE SIIkLAR CONCERNS?

The patterns everywhere a t San F r a n c i s c o State, a t U. C . ,


at Columbia University, at Brandeis, at the Mexican University, in
Paris and in the W e s t German universities are identical;

The procedures.are the s a m e a l m o s t to the s m a l l e s t detail;


the tactic of invoking police violence, the list of demands that a r e
m e r e l y ploys which they have no r e a l d e s i r e to negotiate; the use
of sympathetic causes Vietnam, the draft, oppression of the
young, etc; destruction of public property, the vilification of police
as brutes and s a d i s t s ; the attempts to stigmatize e v e r y educational
o r governmental l e a d e r who opposes them; the profane and brutal
demands f o r total capitulation and s u r r e n d e r .

The s t o t y of each onslaught is almost a carbon copy of the


previous o r subsequent incident. Is this another multiple coincidence? I don't think.80.

DO MILITANTS MOVE FROM CAMPUS TO CAMPUS?


They do.
The police regularly exchange o b s e r v e r s a t each outbreak,
take pictures, r e c o r d appearances and reappearanccs, We see
the s a m e hard c o r e of manipulators over and over again. These
a r e pros at trouble making highly skilled and artfully directed
craftsmgn.

. .

WHAT ARE THEIR GOALS?

J u s t two.

T o obtain complete control or to destroy. Either is an


equally satisfactory goal to their leadership.
Sub-goals are to immobilize police by discrediting them
if possible, and to exploit or denigrate the news media, depending
on the attitudes of individual elements i n this group. Their ultim a t e aim is successful revolution.
.HOW ARE THEY FINANCED?

That's a good question. We know they take up collections,


charge dues or solicit contributions f r o m well-heeled fellow
t r a v e l e r s , of whom there are many. But all these s o u r c e s put
together couldn't come up with the money it takes to run their
operations.
Some of them, for instance, have been able to commute
between, h e r e , Havana, Hanoi and even Moscow like well-to-do
globetrotters, not to speak of frequent transcontinental t r i p s .
Maybe the Internal Revenue people might take a closer look a t
the traveling proclivities of s o m e of these impccunious types
and come up with answers.

ARE W E LIKELY TO S E E MILITANCY DJCREASE? W I L L IT


SPREAD T O HIGH SCHOOLS?

..

Like wild-fire. Radical l i t e r a t u r e , using the familiar


revolutionary p h r a s e s , is beginning to be s e e n in the lower
schools. Polytechnic and Mission high schools are now going
through the s a m e t i r e d old procedures of radical division,
impossible demands, c h a r a c t e r assassination, picketing and
violence, The youngsters are next on the list of the destroyers.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE THE RACE FACTORS?


Most important.
exploit tbe m

T h e r e ARE injustices. .The subversives

Yet the.se revolutionary attempts to u s e an e n t i r e r a c e , to

Negroes are collective individualists and a r e not e a s i l y fooled
b y pie-in-the-sky doctrines. They don't rest comfortable in
the mould of the docile proletariat.. I think they will fail with
the Negroes.

WHAT SHOULD STUDENTS DO IN THELR O W N BEST INTEREST?


They should r e s i g n from the diffident, uninvolved silent
majority.
They should study the situation,become informed, and
' m a k e their views known.

They should be active in p r o g r e s s i v e , un-sick programs.

should protest.

They should abandon apathy and make their majority


strength felt by the noisy.. minorities in these vital contests.

..

IS THERE A PHYSICAL THREAT TO STUDENTS WHO DO NOT


COOPERATE WITH MILITANT DISSENTERS? .
Yes, but the p r e s e n t t h r e a t is m o r e that of intimidation
and psychological manipulation. The d e m o n s t r a t o r s project
menace more than they activate menace.
San F r a n c i s c o State is an example in microcosm. Imagine

protected young Americans all able-bodied, ambulatory and in
full possession of their faculties. The pickets use bull-horns
not bull-whips.

They should not be m i s l e d into judging the police on the

basis of the infrequent defections of the few and they should be
instinctively unwilling to believe ill of those who stand between
them and violence, exploitation and the many kinds of h a r m that

And they should place e v e r y implement of defense in o u r

o r seven U.S. c i t i e s on Easter Sunday. C i t i e s
mentioned are: Chicago, New York, Ssn Francisco,
Seattle, Austin, Atlanta, and possibly Io6 Angeles.
The reason for planning regional centers for the action
rather than large national demonstrations was t o

included the request that, "In those countries where
American servicemen a r e stationed, we c a l l on the
anti-war movement t o make a special e f f o r t f o r G I
participation i n the peace demonstrations "

To build A p r i l 6 on t h e campuses, the New York SMC has


suggested holding "preinduction orientation sessions

Raymond HEWITT, Los Angeles Black P a n t h e r P a r t y
l e a d e r , apparently is substituting for David HILLIARD, and
will accompany Black P a n t h e r P a r t y c h a i r m a n Bobby George
SEALE on a t r i p to Stockholm, Sweden which was .scheduled
to begin f r o m San F r a n c i s c o on 6 March. At l e a s t one purpose
for the t r i p is alleged to be an attempt to obtain financial
backing f o r the party.

Reportedly, m e m b e r s of the organization of AfroA m e r i c a n Students and SDS have formed the l1New AU" at .
American University, Washington, D. C. This group is
developing student demands t o p r e s e n t to the University and
if they a r e not m e t within one month, w i l l attempt a confrontation w i t h university authorities.

SDS allegedly is unhappy that the school authorities


have acted in such a way as to satisfy m o s t of the s t u d e n t - . *
body and SDS, therefore, h a s decided to i n c r e a s e i t s demands.

What affect the ranting and ravings of s o m e of the


m o r e e x t r e m e black militants have on the masses is difficult to a s s e s s but certainly t h e r e m u s t be s o m e who a r e
moved by such frenetic mouthinas, often openly, and blatantly made.
F o r example, Bobby Eugene WRIGHT, a t h i r t y five
year o l d p e g r o schoolteacher and l e a d e r of a black caucus
of the Chicago T e a c h e r s Union!. reportedly recently delivered

a lecture to t h i r t y b o a r d of education personnel a t a

Chicago, Illinois high school. He made violent statements


during this l e c t u r e which revealed 'the underlying theme
that reform w a s not wanted by blacks and that their
ultimate goal was to destroy. He stated. 'lour job of
destroying the s y s t e m m u s t begin with the school system.
Also, l r W e want a black p e r s o n i n t h e position held by
e v e r y single Irish-Catholic, and Jew.
He stated that
it did not m a t t e r whether a teacher was qualified, j u s t
ad long a5 he was black. He f u r t h e r stated, $Quality
education i s not o u r concern. Destrwtion of the s y s t e m
and black control is." H e concluded by stasing that in
o r d e r f o r blacks to gain control o v e r the m a j o r cities,
'I W e m u s t d e s t r o y the community, the s y s t e m , the society.
and "What we r e p l a c e it with is unimportant."

A study recently concluded by the National Association of Secondary School Principals reflects wide s p r e a d
protest activities on the high school and junior high school
campuses throughout the nation. The s u r v e y which involved a random sampling of j u s t over 1,000 schools indicated thati6OV0 of secondary schools a r e experiencing
student activism .ranging in intensity f r o m vocal complaints to riots. Schools i n rural a r e a s , a s would be expected, did not r e p o r t as much p r o t e s t activities a3 s u b u r b a n .
*
and city schools but the r u r a l incident too was over 50%.
"Young people, s a i d an association spokesman. "are becoming vocal on e v e r y topic from the vote f o r 18 y e a r olds
t o glue sniffing.''
D r e s s and hair requirements head the list of c o m plaints, followed by smoking rules, cafeteria, and a s s e m bly f a r e , censorship of student papers, and scheduling of
sporting events. Forty-five p e r cent of the schools reporting
protest activities find dissatisfaction regarding the way
pupils a r e educated. The complaints included poor t e a c h e r s ,
curriculum content, scheduling, grades and exams. P r o t e s t s o v s r racial relations problems were reported by 10%
of the schools. T h r e e p e r cent of the p r o t e s t s involved
Vietnam and 270 the draft.

SITUATION INFORMATION REPORT

Washincrton, D C. (April 4-6)

- Easter Weekend

Any prediction at this time as to the atmosphere which will


prevail in the Washington area during Easter weekend 1969 is admittedly speculative and conjectural, particularly as there may be
later official and unofficial decisions as to whether or not April 4,
. the anniversary of Martin Luther KING, Jr. Is assassination, will
be declared an official Holiday locally by the federal and/or district
government and/or by the local business community. It appears
Wt the overwhelming majority of the populdce would prefer that the
weekend could be noted in traditional religious services and Easter
customs and festivities, with appropriate memorial observation of
KING'S death by those so inclined. However, an air of tension and
- hostility has been growing nationally and locally and it must be considered that there w i l l be disorders within the nation and possibly
in the M@shington Metropolitan area.
A s rn&y dissident groups have already indicated that they intend individually o r in joint concerted actions to demonstrate during
this period, it would be folly not to anticipate disorder. These
numerous groupings include: anti-war and pacifist organizations;
civil-rights and racial organizations; new-left and student organizations; and old left organizations. Their activities include m a c h e s ,
rallies, guerrilla theatre, memorial services, workshops, boycotts,
etc. etc. Tempers have been rising, militance increasing, and
inter-racial violence escalating particularly marked by polarization
of whites and blacks at the high school level. Recent confrontations
with the police, as exemplified in the shootings in Detroit during the
recent gathering of members of the New Republic of Africa, militant
black separatist organization, reflect the current hostile climate.
The indictment of eight leaders In the disorders at the Eemocratic
National Convention h a s been viewed by the dissident movements as
another signal of a hardening posture and h a s been answered by expostulations to react with renewed vigor and activity to demonstrate
to Presiient NIXON and the Government that the Movement is no

.n

less viable and dedicated than it ww prior to the bombing halt and
to NIXON'S election. Stepped up activity is to emphasize the Vietnam W a r issue, the ABM system, and, of course, racism in the
U.S. A. Rumors and reports of possible violent or destructive
action nationally include the burning of ghetto areas in Chicago
(black militants) and damage of military facilities in the Seattle
Locally, there have been intimations of violence if April 4 is
not observed in the fashion deemed appropriate by militant blacks.
Same direct threats have been made for example, "Hahn Shoe Stores
w i l l be the first to go. It Businessmen and other informants have
not acknowledged receiving specific threats nor have any groups
oth'er than the It51st Statehood Committeet1been noted as making
belligerent demands or statements. The elements a r e present,
nevertheless, for disorder if crowds gather and an incident occurs
intentionally or inadvertently to spark it. Having failed to disrupt the
Inauguration ceremonies to the extent they desired, the same dissident groups are eager for another opportunity to embarrass the administration and to further the same varied goals they had at that
time. The recent property damage of the local DOW Chemical Company office, \primarily by religious pacifists, may serve as an example to be emulated by others. In addition, black militants, although
nationally uncoordinated, have shown increasing impatience in attaining their goals. Among the greater threats for disorder are the
juveniles and young adults. They are responsible for the majority
of the crime and violence in the area, Students will be out of school
an-d potentially "on the streets" all weekend. Spring brings a rash
of youthful exuberant mischievous activity, at best. There have been
reports that students have vowed to break out all car lights which are
not lit on April 4 in honor of KING:

..

The business community's decision on whether to close Friday,


as w a s noted, is still moot. In addition to the campaign for closing
being pushed by the D. C. Statehood Committee group, at least two
predominently white organizations are also agitating for it: A r t h u r
Waskow's Center for Emergency. Support and The Jews f o r Urban
Justice.'..

+-

COQO18J09
. .... .

Latest information reflects that Mayor Washington has officially


announced a liberal leave policy for all D. C. employees on Friday,
4 April. This indicates there will be no official closings, but
individual decisions must be made. A t least two safeway Stores in
the District have received anonymous threats to close o r "burn. 'I
Sources report widespread but unorganized discontent in the black
community of the District. There have been reports of unidentified
"out of towners" milling about the 14th Street area.

'

On the ''right, the National Socialist White People's Party


(NAZI) has dropped agitative leaflets in the area from a plane ahd
can be counted on to make its disruptive influence felt during the
weekend.

Student Afro-American Socicty

The Student Afro-American Society (SAS)was foundcd on the


Columbia University campus in l a t e 1962. Caught up in what iLs
founder, Hilton CLARK called thc "identity c r i s i s , I' SAS's mission,
though loosely formulated in the beginning, was designed to "relate"
tire Negro collegian to the black community and to synthesize his

SAS a p p e a r s to be only one of many s u c h Negro student o r ganizations found on m o s t campuses of predominantly white colleges
and universities (at H a r v a r d Association of African and Afro-American Students; a t Yale Black Student Alliance; a t P r i n c e t o n Association of Black Collegians; at Cornel1 - Afro-American Society: and a t
m o s t o t h e r universities the Black Student Union). Although t h e r e i s no
defined and r e c o r d e d unity among the various organizations, a t l e a s t
one regional conference of Afro groups has been held a t Columbia in
1966. The 1966 conference was attended by 300 delegates representing
30 schools in the Northeast.

R e g a r d l e s s of the purity of e x p r e s s e d initial motives, in the


p a s t s e v e r a l y e a r s Afro groups on most m a j o r American campuses
have proven to be a radical, divisive Zorce and a m a j o r contributor to
the p r e s e n t s t a t e of college troubles. Through tactic's ranging f r o m
d i s r e s p e c t and insulting a r r o g a n c e to criminality, t h e n a m e s of the

SITUATION INFORMATION REPORT

_-

A seldom used to date, but so far highly effective tool i n thc


battle .between the "establishment1@and s*ludent r a d i c a l s and campus
"take over a r t i s t s " is the c o u r t order. First used (in r e c e n t college
. protest p r o b h m r ) at Howard University and s i n c e at six or eight
o t h e r universities including F o r d h a m and Columbia (and threatened
a t George Washington) the r e s t r a i n i n g order is yet to.fai1 i n evicting
student occupiers without r e s o r t i n g to force. The only violation, of
a c o u r t o r d e r B O f a r o c c u r r e d at Columbia on April 30 when a x SDSled stuqent group violated a previously issued o r d e r and reoccupied
a college building. The issuing judge promptly iseued arrest w a r r a n t s which quickly re-emptied the building.

---

'

Those who violate a legitimately issued court o r d e r stand in


contempt of court and are at thccmercy of the issuing judge. The
judge is free to punish violators without f u r t h e r involvement of college a d m i n i s t r a t o r s , regents, or faculty m e m b e r s . Imposed penalties' can be stiff and do not involve j u r i e s o r Gublic prosecutors.
'*

In theory, as well a s practice, the u s e of re,straining o r d e r s


t r a n s f e r s the onus of r e s o r t i n g to f o r c e f r o m university officials to
the issuing agency the court. The police, if needed to enforce a r rest w a r r a n t s , are not responding to school officials but instead a r e
enforcing the policy of the court.

rr,

. .

If cuurt action at Columbia on April 30 proves effective and it's


believed it will, more extensive u s e of restraining orders to o u s t c a m pus revolutionaries will probably be employed in c o c i n g months.

SITUATION INFORMATION REPORT

. The peace and tranquility formula of Cornell's President


James. A. PERKINS, one.of soft 'permise'iveness, .has imbued the
campus black militants with sufficient courage to utilize brute
belligerence: A study of recent Cornel1 history clearly pointed
to the recent a r m e d takeover of a'University building and hopefully w i l l a s s i s t bther college heads in formulating their strategy
in dealing with the white as w e l l a s the black radical revolution i n

That the Ithaca c a k p u s 'could be so deformed-by strife is


i n p a r t attributable, ironically,. to the president's well-meaning
liberaltsm i n ' recruiting black students, many of whom were illequipped for Cornell's academic demands.

Storm clouds erapted l a s t s p r i s g when three Negro students,


infuriated by an economics professor'e' c l a s s r o o m Contention about
the superiority of a western civilizatkh seized the offices of the
economiFs department and .held the department's chairman prisoner.
When the Perkins administration did not p r e s s charges against the
three, i t flashed the green light for anarchy.
In December 1968 (black militant activities erupted again, this
time- with increased irrationality, increased violence and with an incredible lack of firm discipline and counter force Cro?m PERKINS.
The April armed takeover cannot be attributed to the c r o s s burning
a t tho Ncgrb coed dorm (widely bclicved i n Ithaca to have been
startcd by Negroes, incidcntnlly) but rather is a culnrinatisn of a
s c r i e s of black militant acts of arrogance. Pu,Shing a campaign for

against six of 'the most flagrant offenders.


.even these c h a r g e e w e r e dropped:

The l a s t week in A p r i l .

In a December demonstration of utter contcmpt, black militants staged a sit-in out8ide'PERKINS' office. Still believing h e
could make friendd with a wild-cat, PERKINS s e n t milk and doughnuts. The militants responded predictably (not to PERKUJS) by
smashing the refreshments- against the wall.

Last F e b r u a r y an even more b i z a r r e and outlandish demand


was forthcorGing f r o m the Cornell Afro-American Society. The
group insisted on $2,000. from the administration to buy bongo
d r u m s to celebrate Malcolm X day. The administration scraped
together $1,700 and dispatched taro black students to New York
v
City in the University airplane to purchase the drums.

. -

On F e b r u a r y 28, to the accompaniment of the Cornellpurchased drums, PERKINS was physically pulled from the speakerls platform at'PSonference on South Africa. A few days l a t e r
job recruiters from the Chase Manhattan Bank w e r e -physically assaulted on campus. In mid-March three white students w e r e
beaten et night on campus by Negro students, one to the point of
. ..
death.

PERKINS is now the open targef of derision by the black


militants who describe him to his face with obsceniby widely used
in the black ghetto. It would appear that PERKINS m u s t reform
O r resigp if Cornell is to be saved increasing problcms f r o m militant black radicals. Although he feels h e has the full confidence of
. the board of trustees, PERKINS' position a t Cornell m u s t be regarded
as shaky at best.

Although the initial impulse is t o cheer them on as they


route the SDS from'. Columbia~Universitybuilding, a closer
examination of the organieation and its foundations and pr.onmncements gives food for conriderable, s o b e r thought. NYA is by

'

A r e c e n t statement by Louis T. BYERS, organizer of the


NYA. (and f o r m e r coordinator of .the John B i r c h Society) exempli- .
fies the b a s i c philosophy of the new force f r o m the radical "N&
Right, 'I 'BYERS starts by calling SDS an "anarchistic" group
which
neithct. new n o r atartling. As he continues, however,
the radical color shows through. The Alliance, he continues,
aims t o neutrali-nd
overcome black power. SDS m e m b e r s
who occupy buildings will be forcibly ejected by Alliance nremb e r s and their supporters. If students are molested by "Black
Power animalsi" the Alliance will-set up a protective s e c u r i t y
force,

One of the guiding lights of NYA i f not the "owner" of it,


is none other than W i l l i s 'CARTO whom Drew PEARPON h a s been
throwing d a r t s at in recent weeks. GARTO, head of Liberty
Lobby (another PEARSON target) was a m a j o r financial supporter of th;! Wallace Youth Movement. Because he controlled the
pursestrings he had the organization's m e m b e r s h i p l i s t and
solicited all previous Wallace Youth l e a d e r s to r e f o r m the group
as NYA. CARTO got their agreement that the NYA would take

Basically, UCRA is a group of educators opposcd to campus


d i s o r d e r s . The UCRA is premently c b v e n i n g in New York and is
address'ing the pioblems of disruption and revolt; P r o f e s s o r HOOK
believes that of particular importance is keeping the universities
open no matter what. Because of this belief, HOOK has been highly
c r i t i c a l of.the r e c e n t act O E clozing CCNY by now resigned P r e s i d e n t
B u d 1 G. .GALLAGHER. HOOK believes that shutting down the school
is a "terrible defeat" for academic freedom. "When you yield to
violence anywhere, you weaken the r e s i e a n c e to violence everywhere.

In the f i r s t i a s u s of h i s organization's newsletter "Measure, 'I


dated 15 April, Professor HOOK noted in an editorial that UCRA has no

. --.

specific p r o g r a m or panacea for the probiems of any one troubled campus. UCRA is committed only to three fundamental propositions. First,
i n a free university, all questions a r e opened to inquiry, d i s c u s s i o n , and
debate. 'None can be settled b y the exercise of violence or b y t h r e a t s of
intimidation.
Second, any attempt to deprive the qualified s c h o l a r and t e a c h e r
of freedom to determine what he should teach and to .prescribe by t h r e a t s
of force or class disruption how h e should teach is a violation of academic
freedom.
Third, the faculty through i t s r e p r e s e h t a t i v e s , m u s t be continuously involved in the consideration of new problems and challenges to
the educational experience; it m u s t k e i p open all lines of communication among the constituent groups of th9 university conmiunity and work
continuously f o r the establishment of a rational consensus on all m a t t e r s
of commbn educational concern.

Five.SDSers w e r e a r r e s t e d l a s t weekend a t Chicago. The circumstances l e a d i w to the a r r e s t are thought-provoking, to s a y the


least. SDS headquarters i n Chicago, located in a rundown neighborhood,

SITUATION INFORMATION REPORT


. .

. .

Last week the dissident students and non-students in Berkeley,


California, found just exactly the I'd----d if they do and d----d if they
don't" type of dilemma to present the overworked and cotMtantl harassed authorities at the University of California in Berkeley.
app r n p r i a p q to their own use a valuable piece of the U h e r s i t y ' s real
estate which the University had definitely expressed intentions of utilizing for school recreation needs, the authorities were faced with two
basic alternatives: -one, to.ignore the dissidents and thereby seem to
a.cquiesce in their illegal activity; or two, to force evacuation of UIS
cleverly named "P?Bople's Park" and move ahead with Uicir own plans
for the property. In an apparent effort to continue the University's
present attempt to reflect an image of resistance to blackmail and violence, Dr. Roger W. HEYNS fenced in the pm!k and h a s ta.ken, with
the aid of local law enforcement agencies, all necessary measures to
maintain University control of this small piece of tewa firma. In tlic
ace of a mounting crescendo of dissident voices, authorities have stood
firm. There have been several days when reaction.by the law enforcement forces may have been somewhat stronger tllczri needed, although
t h i s is debatable. In amy case, it did give the dissidcrits a csuse and
as a result, they have been joined sympathetically and/or physically.
by many other moderates and radicals from other Bay area campuses
and Communities. Dissident tactics calculated to promote additional
confrontation and, of course, to escalate involvetnetkof others, have
rmjed from childish' and erratic behavior and obscene taunting to the
violence of throwing rocks, etc.

Ths use 'of policemen from all over' the Ba,y arOa a.long with a large
contingent of the California National Guard has stirred the sympathy
of many radicals, moderates, and also some of the conservative
teachers and students. The eaorcement agencies are being charged
with the overuse of force. Tear gas, for instance, was released without warning from a helicopter into the demonstrating student mass
enveloping also the University hospital and a children's wading pool.
Syndicated columnist Joseph K R A F T classified tlie present
Berkeley strife as far more grave than generally supposed and grossly
under-reported. K R A F T .blieves that what is happening is an injudicious major intensification of the academic civil war mid a crushing
loss for the dwindling band of moderates. Charles PALIVIER, 4he
graduatirig student body president, who has been playing ball witti the
Univeraty administration for the past four years combatting leftwingers, calls the action of the chancellor incredibly stupid.

--

The Berkeley division of the University of California Academic


Senate voted last Friday 642 to 95 for a resolution supporting continuation of the park and the immediate withdrawal of ths massive plice
and military presence. In a student goveriirn~titcotiductd referendum
. on campus, 85 p r c e n t of nearly 15,000 sttldents votiny, endorsed cuntinuation of the park.

Evidence that u s e of the t e m p o r a r y r e s t r a i n i n g o r d e r , the


t e m p o r a r y injunction and t h e p e r m a n e n t injunction is "bugging" the .
movement was r e c e n t l y found in an a r t i c l e w r i t t e n by two new
l e f t e r s and published in the June 14 edition of the Guardian (a weekly,
t h a t claims to b e a n independent r a d i c a l p a p e r ) . The a r t i c l e conc e d e s t h a t c o u r t o r d e r s have b e e n effective due l a r g e l y t o the
" c l a s s i c weapons" defusing the student movement. Its u s e is d e s c r i b e d a s " r e p r e s s i v e psychological w a r f a r e " and c o m p a r e s c u r r e n t r e p r e s s i o n to the-McCarthy e r a %hen a n e n t i r e population
w a s t e r r o r i z e d into inactivity.
The a u t h o r s imply that the coukt
o r d e r effect will b e m i n i m i z e d if all understand the l e g a i c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s , the manifestations, the power, and the p r e r o g a t i v e s of
the courts. So then t o c l a r i f y f o r one and all (but actually c o u n t e r productively clouding the p i c t u r e ) the following advice i s s e r v e d up
to the would-be p r o t e s t e r as what to do after i s s u a n c e .

"Now a choice m u s t be made.

W e c a n leave

the buildings,

postpone r a l l i e s and leafleting, and t e s t the o r d e r in c o u r t a week


o r two later. Although the c o u r t will a l m o s t always extend the
TRO into a , p r e l i m i n a r y injunction, it m a y d e l e t e s o m e p r o v i s i o n s
which'limit o u r f r e e d o m to organize, and we can u s e the c o u r t
proceedings to m a k e politicai points. (A legal r u l e called the
"clean-hands doctrine" prohibits a c o u r t f r o m using its k j u n c t i v e

'

.,
#

power to help a p a r t y which itself h a s done wrong and been unfair.


Since c o u r t s mustvat least l i s t e n t o a r g u m e n t s based on this doct r i n e , we can d e s c r i b e all that we c o n s i d e r wrong with the u n i v e r s i t y as a r g u m e n t a g a i n s t extending the TRO.)
...
T h e common a l t e r n a t i v e to waiting f o r a c o u r t test is i m m e d i a t e mass disobedience. We openly viokate the 'TRO and the u n i v e r s i t y a d m i n i s t r a t i o n a s k s the c o u r t t; j a i l u s f o r contempt. The
contempt trial is independent of h e a r i n g s on the TRO and injunction.

...

-. --r

T h i s s p r i n g m a n y of us f e a r e d t h a t contempt meanriaarrest
at any time, j a i l without a trial, indefinite s e n t e n c e and no r i g h t t o
bail o r appeal. But contempt p r o c e d u r e s are, on balance, no w o r s e
than r e- g u l a r c r i m i n a l trials.

.-

Contempt starts with a subpoena to a p p e a r in c o u r t on a


given date. T h e r e is no a r r e s t , and t h e r e f o r e no need f o r bail,
u n l e s s the defendant r e f u s e s to show up in court.

-*

E a c h defendant h a s the r i g h t to a t r i a l , to d e t e r m i n e whether


he knew of and willfully disobeyed the TRO. A j u r y trial is r e q u i r e d
b e f o r e a c o u r t can i m p o s e a heavy sentence. Immediate jailing f o r .
contempt, without a t r i a l , is aliowed only'for conduct in court.
When a c o u r t o r d e r s u s not to do something, disobedience is
c r i m i n a l contempt of c o u r t and the judge m u s t s e t a fixed j a i l s e n tence, usually no m o r e than 30 days. (In civil contempt a c o u r t
o r d e r s someone t o do something and k e e p s h i m in jail until he does
it.) Conviction can be appealed and b a i l is available until appeal is
decided.
A contempt trial s o m e t i m e s can b e won on the i s s u e of
notice. The u n i v e r s i t y m u s t p r o v e each defendant in f a c t r e a d o r
h c a r d the e n t i r e c o u r t o r d e r . On s o m e c a m p u s e s , students have
drowned out official.efforts to r e a d injunctions, l a t e r testifying in
c o u r t that they could not h e a r the injunction when i t w a s r e a d t o them.
Contempt t r i a l s have only one s e r i o u s disadvantagc c o m p a r c d
to t r i a l s f o r t r e s p a s s o r o t h e r crimes. Though no one c a n b e jailed
f o r violatinfi a n unconstitutional c r i m i n a l law, people can b e i m p r i s oned for disobeying an invalid TRO o r injunction. The U. S. S u p r e m e
C o u r t r e c e n t l y upheld 5 - 4 a n Alabama conviction of M a r t i n L u t h e r King
and o t h e r s f o r violating an obviously unconstitutional injanction a g a i n s t
a civil r i g h t s m a r c h . "

SITUATION INFORMATION R E P O R T
'b

Black P a n t h e r P a r t y peccancy was brought to light this week


both in the underground p r e s s and i n testimony before Senator
McClellans s u b c o m m i t t q . First, s e v e r a l p r e s s r e f e r e n c e s have
been m a d e i n r e c e n t months to the "Breakfast f o r Poor K f a s " prog r a m being c a r r i e d out by the Black P a n t h e r s in the San F r a n c i s c o
Bay a r e a a s well as e l s e w h e r e in the United States. Although allegations have been m a d e that the food has been obtained from local
merch'ants via the Itshakedown" route, the donation of time and
energy by the militant P a n t h e r r a n k and file has been applauded,..
even i n the "straight" press. The facts are now coming i n and the
following article from the June 20-26 Berkeley B a r b c l e a r l y reflects that, at least, the proa s - a d m i n i s t e r e d i n Oakland enc o m p a s s e s coercion, tlshakedzwnslland probably "pocket lining. 'I
"The Safeway s t o r e at 29th and W e s t in Oakland was open
but it was as empty a s a tasteless loaf of white bread. The Black
P a n t h e r boycott was a 99% s u c c e s s .
"For the p a s t few weeks P a n t h e r m e m b e r s , community
people, white friends and the b r e a k f a s t kids have been s u r r o u n d ing Safeway and perguading c u s t o m e r s t o shop down the block.

-.

"It all started when the Safeway Manager refused t o kick'


in a hundred bucks a' month f o r the B r e a k f a s t for Children P r o gram. A lot of the s t o r e s in the area c a m e through with c o n t r i butions, including the Co-op, but Safeway figured the kids could
survive o n a g l a s s of water e v e r y morning.
.

T h e Black P a n t h e r s called f o r a boycott and are noW


taxing Safeway a n additional $25 e a c h week they want to play
Scrooge.
"The P a n t h e r s have been relying on revolutionary p e r suasion to keep the s t o r e empty. A car pulls up in front of t h e
door and the people shout, 'Don't give your money to pigs who
*a
won't feed o u r children.

The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)


held a national staff meeting at New York on the 16th and 17th of
June. It is r e p o r t e d that the e n t i r e two days e m b r a c e d nothing
but personality conflicts and arguments and on June 17 b e c a m e
so chaotic that H. Rap Brown, f o r m e r SNCC National C h a i r m a n ,
walked out saying he was disassociating himself because SNCC
was unable to accomplish anything o r relate to anybody. Allegedly,
SNCC is $10,000 in debt and r e p o r t s f r o m various geographical
areas indicate that during the p a s t y e a r nothing h a s been attempted
or accomplished.
The national staff meeting will reconvene a t
Atlanta in July.

One possible cause of SNCC inactivity (as well as CORE)


i n r e c e n t y e a r s is the r i s i n g popularity of Black Student Uniontype organizations on majdr U. s. campuses. Although a typical
BSU is not affiliated nationally with other confederations of black
collegians, t h e i r advantage o v e r national groups like SNCC is i n
t h e i r flexibility to a c t and r e a c t on local i s s u e s . As a consequence, SNCC and CORE a r e losing their appeal f o r the Ncgro
college stu!ent.
Additionally, dynamic l e a d e r s h i p of the p a s t
is leaving SNCC-type movement e i t h e r toward bigger and better
radical militancy (Stokeley C a r m i c h a e l to the P a n t h e r s ) o r into '8

It would a p p e a r that

SNCC has outliveb.its usefulness and m a y well p a s s into h i s t o r y in

University of Maryland P r e s i d e n t Wilson H. Elkins h a s


announced to h i s Board of Regents a new ?!no negotiations" policy
toward p r o t e s t e r s . The Board approvea a new student discipline
code that specifically authorizes officials to suspend disruptive

Tbe student body president strongly objected but failed to Tnfluence
the University's Regents.

Elkins s a i d that protesting r a d i c a l s a r e p a r t of a "noisy

allowed to c r e a t e "an a t m o s p h e r e of tension and s u s p e n s e , requiring administration and faculty to spend a g r e a t deal of t i m e

policy to deal with disruption, s e i z u r e o r other illegal action as
quickly as possible with whatever legal m e a n s n e c e s s a r y . "Experience a l l o v e r the country indicates t h e need for this action. It is
v e r y important for the maintenance of o r d e r that when t h e r e is an
occupation of a building that you suspend them (the students) and
get them out."

As widely predicted (including in a Situation Information'


R e p o r t months ago) SDS h a s split in Chicago. T w o sets of officers
and two ideologies now govern two SDS's and in this instance t h e r e
is much i n a name. The PLP finally s u c c e s s f u l a f t e r numerous

What the B1ack.StudenrUnions will do depends l a r g e l y on the

Recent press coverage indicates @at Federal and local police


crackdown on Black Panther activitie&tihs seriously affected Uie
organization's size, image, and recruitment possibilities. In
Chicago for instance, not only is meager Panther membership
has
reportedly between 20 and 30 Mrd core militants but th-rty
been unable to proselytize from eilher of the two prominent Negro
street gangs (Blackstone Rangers and Black Disciples). Money is
scarce in many chapters and recruitment restricted because the
k t h c r s , deathly alraid of Miltration by police undercover agents,
require candidates for membership to submit to rigorous tests.

Syndicated columnist Victor Riesel reports present Panther


strength as between 1500 a n c k c F djvided pmong 30 chapters.
Panther members, says Riesel who murder without cause, steal
without philosophy or go "pig hunting'l'without regard or the final
conflict namely the overthrow of capitalism, are expelled.

SDS alternatives rema,ining to the candidate campus radical do


bot seem particularly attractive and probably will not seduce the
casually interested revolutionary in coming semesters as in semesters
past. In Chicago last month the Progressive Labor faction won control
but was promptly expelled by the NO (National Office) group. In rational terms the mechanics of
this are not easily understood but
rationality is not the forte of the irasci'b<e young radical. In any
case time and backstage maneuverins w i l l determine whether PL
or NO represents the papular though &isonous SDS nationally. If
NO comes out on top and it's likely to (PLvoter strengthnot believed
a reflection of true strength nationally) here are the two principles
that must be embraced by the membership. " A l l people who do not
accept these two principles are no longer members of SDS. 'I

1: Support of the black and Latin colonies within the U. S. for


national liberation and recognize those nations' rights to self-determination (including the right to political secession if they desire it).

-*
-+

and,

2. Support the struggle for naeonal liberation of the people of


South Vietnam, led by the National Liberation Front and the Provisional
Revolutionary Government of South Vietnap. Support also the Democratic Republicpf Vietnam led by President Ho Chi Minh, as well as
the Peoples Republic of China, the Peoples Democratic Republics of
Korea and Albania and the Republic of Cuba, all waging fierce struggles againsf U. S. imperialism. Support the right of all people to
pick up the gun to free themselves from the brutal rule of U. 3. im-

perialism.

If, on the other hand, the prospective radical supports the ideology
and philosophy of PL he is strongly pro-Maoist, pro-activist (farther
left than CpUSA)'and regards the Soviet party as revisionistic and di'vergent. Above all, PL believes that the revolutionary struggle is of

an lleconoTILIcclass" nature and a successful overthrow of capitalism


must come via the lfworkersof the world" route. The PLers envision
the SDS value to the movement a
s one of building a "worker/student
alliance" rather than a purely student (youth) radical organization as
held by the NO.

The NO is not one big happy tslmily either. Though not as seriously
and self-destructively split as the major group, NO factionalizes and
splinters further, The two m'ajor factions, "weatherman"( "YQUdon't
need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" z*Bob Dylan),

. and "RYM-2" (Reutolutionary Youth Movement) agree on many pints

but disagree on many others. The newly elected NO officers are


"Weatherman" and reportedly, tlWeathermanllhold voter majority
and control of the NO (outgoing interorganizational secretary Bernadine
Dorhn w a s a "Weathermad' and former National Secretary Mike
Klonsky was a "RYM-2").
I.

-.

As for the difference between the two factions, it seems that


"RYM-2"leans a bit more toward the PL philosophy. RYM-2 sees
the proletariat as being the mnCn force in the revolution. 'Blacks,
women, and students, RYM-2holds, play a key role in raising the
consciousness of the working class by struggling for their own liberation. RYM-2 considers blacks as a separate nation but because of
their duel position oppressed as black, superexploited as worker,
"their fight for the right of self-determination is a pre-conditior,
for any kind of socialism in this country. I' RYM-2 views this struggle for liberation, along with women's struggle for liberation, from
male supremacy, and the struggle of y0uth.a~a means of developing
proletarian unity and revolutioii.

........
p
x.
L

"Weatherman" tends to deny the leading role of the working


class in the revolutionary struggle. Weatherman professes indifference to white-workers and embraces a "shock-brigade" action
strategy. Blacks in the U. S. are viewed by "Weatherman" as a separate colonized nation within the oppressor country. National liberation for blacks in the oppressor country cannot be accomplished until
capitalism is overthrown. on women's liberation, llWeatherman*l
holds that worn& should be organized around anti-imperialist, antiracist struggles.
An established splinter within SDS-NO which may be soon
purged is the Independent Socialist Club. The ISCers support "workers
dcmocracy" as the ultimate goal of a revolutionary movement. Reportedly ISC has criticized all existing "socialist" (communist)countries and
(imprudently) the undemocratic practices of SDS. ISC has recently
deplored a resurgence of Stalinism in SDS practice.

Bel Air, WIaryland The trial of H. Rap Brown, militant black


former head of SNCC, charged with inciting a riot and arson in
a Cambridge racial disturbance two years ago, has been szt for
October 6 in Harford C w t y Circuit Court. This is the second
time it has been scheduled since the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals
in Richmond, Virginia, rejected Brown's request that he be tried
in Cambridge, Maryland, which was the scene of a riotous disturbance in July 1967 after Brown spoke at a street rally of
Negroes. .

*The Vietnam Moratorium Committee, headed by former Harvard


divinity student Sam Brown, a former New Hampshire canvasser
for Senator Eugene McCarthy w i l l attempt to %hut down" all
normal University activities for the day of October 15 in protest
against continued American participation in the Vietnam War.
Mr. Brown a b hopes that his organization will in coming months
work with other forces organized against military training, antiballistic missile systems and racism. Not only is the Vietnam
Moratorium Committee plugging for an end to Vietnam hostilities
but they deplore a "Korean-type settlement" that could leave
American forces in Vietnam indefinitely. Mr. Brown states
that his organization which is planning a mammoth campaign will
gratefully accept assistance from anyone including SDS. The
office address of the Vietnam Moratorium Committee is
1020 Vermont Avenue, N. W., (a favorite for radical groups in
'the 13. C. area). .

RELUBILITY: Probably true.

In the June 1969 edition of R G r a r t s , Kathleen Cleaver writes


about her husband, Eldridge and his misfortune. Briefly summarized
Eldridge, after serving many years in various California prisons, was
paroled in December 1966 and shortly thereafter affiliated himself with
much in contemporary society considerect evil md destructive (Ramparts Magazihe, Black Panther Party, and Peace % Freedom Party,
becoming their presidential candidate in August 19G8 beating out Dick
Gregory and Dr. Spock). Prbcipally because of his Black Panther
activities, culminating in the 28th Street shootout with Oakland police on 6 April 1068 in which
a confederate was killed (Bobby Hutton), Cleaver's
parole was revoked and on September 27, 1968, he
was ordered by the court to deliver himself, in
sixty days to the California Adult Authority to
serve the remaining four years of his original
sentence. Two days before delivery date Cleaver
disappeagad and is now allegedly living in Havana.

In the Rammrts article, Kathleen Cleaver, a


societally hostile, though well-educated and intelligent woman, who was the SNCC program secretary
a t Fisk University, Nashville, when she first met
Eldridge in March 1967, most eloquently expresses
her (and quite likely her husband's) hatred for white
America(termed llBabylon'rby Eldridye in his book
"Soul on Ice" written in California pris0ns)i.n the
following scorchingly graphic fashion:.

"Eldridge Cleaver died in that house on 28th Street


with little Bobby, and what's left is force: f u e l for
the fire that will rage across the face of this racist
country and either purge it of its evil o r turn it into ashes. I say this
for little Bobby, for Eldridge Cleaver who died that night, for every
black man, woman, and chhd who ever died here in Babylon, I say it
to racist America, that if every voice is silenced by your guns, by
your courts, by your gas chambers, by your money, you will h o w ,
that as long as the ghost of
.. Eldridge Cleaver is afoot, you have an
enemy in ygur midst. If

A confidential source of information who has furnished reliable


information in themst has recently provided the following (highly
questionable) information. Roy Wilkins, Executive Director of the .
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, recently
was in contact with Bobby S a l e , Chairman of the Black Panther Party,
and indicated a desire to hold private exploratory conferences with
militant groups, particularly with the Blqck Panther Party. Wilkiiis
indicated that the purpose of the meetings would be to explore areas
of possible agreement in an effort to reach some common ground and
to arrive at some sort of strategy that will be effective even if used
ih only a few areas. Se-ale reportedly is only willing to c6hfer with
Wilkins at a public meeting.

The National Soc'ialist White Peoples P a r t y (formerly Commander Rockwell's American Nazi Party) has been stink bombing Washington movie houses. These odious (as well as odoriferous) attacks have
been precipitated by films that the Nazis find
objectionable. One such fi1m;:;"The Lost .
Man" presently scrceninq at th; Warner
Theater features an interracial love scene
between Sidney Poitier and the white female
lead. Last May the Warner Theater'was
also the target af a stink bombing when it
presented the movie "Slave1'also with
interracial overtones. "Uncle Tom's
Cabin" playing at Keiths Theater has
experienced like treatment and the
Playhouse presentation of "Che" has been
interrupted three times in the past two
and a half weeks with smelly incendiaries.
Nazi literature has been found and one
Party member has been arrested (at
Warners on 30 May).

Walter Reuther, perennial United Automobile Workers president,


has climbed u p n the placatory bandwagon and h a s just issued the most
overused cliche of the decade. From his Detroit office, Reuther told
the press this week "I think the present younger generation is the
best that ever came down the pike. It By so uttering, Reuther joins the
bulk of prominent Americans who have been so quoted in the past year.
-*

'

There are three main factors of c"ontemporary disaffection says


the labor leader and interestingly, these factors as Reuther sees them
are identical w i t h the constantly parroted complaints the povement
lodges against the establishment. As stated by the young radical, these
factors are: 1. generation gap and hypocrisy of the establishment;
2. relevancy; and, 3. de-humanization. Mr. Ruether states them
thusly; 1. There is 3 large gap of hypocrisy in our present mass
culture that has left youth dlienated from a sense of human community.
2. Society has been unable to translate its rapidly expanding technology into human terms and make it serve human needs, and 3. Things
are in the saddle and things are getting bigger. Meanwhile, man is
getting smaller and smaller.

'*

Al Capp, vocal creator of the Lil Abner comic strip who has
often publicly criticized radical student activism in recent weeks
would undoubtedly rebut Ruether by asking: If all the kids are so
good, who's tearing down the university?

The two internecine SDS factions met this week at New York
pniversity and predictably, the proverbial sparks flew (and rocks and

chairs and fists). Two hundred members of the New York CityLong Island SDS-NO faction tried to hold a closed meeting at the
New York University student center and one hundred SDS-PLers
tried to enter the closed meeting. A melee ensued with fists and
chairs flying, Several glass doors were smashed and a fire hose
finally dampening down the unhealthy interosculation. T h e police
who arrivedafter the trouble was over made no arrests. The NO
security force, which the New York Times credited with the fire
hose high jinks held the day by driving off the battered Maoist laction. Two persons required hospital treatment.

Natiopal Office spokeswoman Karen Ashley , who identified


herself as a regional SDS representative said mat the meeting had
been called to consider-summer projects and future demonstrations and to discuss the organizational split that occurred lastmonth at
Chicago.

This SDS happening at New York University is believed noteworthy because it% the first of what w i l l probably be a long and
possibly, at times, bloody series of confrontations in store for
the American campus during the approaching school year. It is
quite likely that the character of forthcoming SDS trouble will be
more egocentric than targeted against the external establishmmt.
The excitability and irascibility of the qpnpus radical can be expected to turn divergent SDS philosophy into bitter.mysical conflict as the PL and NO confraternity fight it out on the campus
green.

the paper to the "bhck Marxist revolution and the cause of the Black

the masthead gave way to white mthers (asymbol of white radicalism).

Cuiisider these factors. TIM?i3lack hiithers have been strongly


and consistently separatist, and blacK nationalist, until three or four
weeks ago when their call for this weekcnd's conference to forin an
"Anierican Liberation Front" openly invited participation by all opposed
t9 "American'fascism. " Included on the Parither invitation list are
members of a white Chicago street gang as w d l as the establishment's
greatest new Nemesis, SDS. &e of the spnsc?r:; tt:c conferrmx, as
slranye a:; it seems, is ag'mg 3DS co-founder Tom B y d e n who is lilly
white and thereby ineligible'for BPP membership. I1 is probably tliis
p l i c y departure that proznptcd Stokely Carmichacl to quit the p r t y

chairmcm Bobby Bale (who reprtedljj is merely a drwikan pup!xt of

10 October 1969

SITUATION INFORMATION RBPORT (SPECIAL)


15 October 1969 Activities

Senator Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania has suggested that the


"quiet people'' who support the administration's w a r policy show
their support on the ides of October by burning their auto headlights. Because of the massive backing, however, of the objectives
of the Vie&
Moratorium Committee (VMC), it is highly doubtful
that many headlights will be- kseen
.
burnin$.vnm after dark.
Next Wednesday's nati&al peace demonstration is shaping
up to be the most widely supported in American history. Although
campus initiated, the October 15 demonstration has gathered aid
and active assistance in many quarters of Amsrican life. Prominent businessmen have pledged they w i l l picket Wall Street; John
Cardinal Dearden of Detroit'has declared the 15th as a day of prayer
and fasting in the archdiocese; well over 1,000 Rabbis, nationwide,
will be in the streets; scientists at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey
as w e l l as doctors at the National Instituta of Health will observe
the Moratorium. High-ranking Government officials (Senators,
Representatives, gbvernors, and mayors) .of both parties w i l l speak
publicly and otherwise lend their prestige to *e anti-war protest.
Teachers' micns from coast to coast (including Washington, D. C. ,
and Montgomery County) have voted to support the day of demonstration. The VMC has estimated that over one million Americans
throughout the country w U actively advance the moratorium cause.
It is believed from press coverage natimally, however, indicating
a clear snowbdlling effect, and general broad-based sympathy among
the moderate forces in our societg that the one million estimate is
a most considerable underestimation. The actual number w i l l probably be closer to three million participants and many millions more
inactively endorsing what the VMC calls the "new politics. ''

The Moratorium coordinator, Sam Brown, age 26, is a


former McCarthyite. Brown was born in Iowa and at one time was
a Harvard divinity student. The idea for next Wednesday's protest
was born in Brown's mind last spring, and in mid-June he, along
with Dave Hawk of the National Student Association, opened a headquarters office in Washington ( 1029 Vermont Avenue, N. W.).
Currently the D. C. office receives 1,500 pieces of mail daily and
about $1,O00 in donations. In June the Washington operation consisted of a small office, and now they occupy an entire office building floor and employ (mostly volunteer) 31 full-time headquarters
workers. The organization also boasts 7,500 field workers nationally.
The VMC claims to be an effort to mafimize public pressure
to end the war by encouraging a broad cross section of Americans
to work against it. The method is a recurring moratorium (one
day in October, two in Nove&ber, three Itn December, etc. ) on
"business as usual1' to allow concerned citizens to spend the day
participatirlg in anti-war programs in their local communities.
The 15th of October effort will be directed toward building, enlarging
and lengthening subsequent moratoria. The focus is not only on
ending the war by m y means (except escalation), but on other war
related issues such as the draft, militarism, taxes, inflation, interest rates, elc. "New Politics11calls for broad based participation including mass rallies, a media campaign, and door to door
canvassing and petitioning.
The VMC belteves that ending the war is the most important
task facing the nation. Although few presently openly defend the
war, the war goes on. The administration withdrawal policy is
deemed too slow. The committee points out that death and destruc-

tion in Vietnam are unabated and billions of dollars a r e being spent


on the war while urgent domestic problems remain unattended. The
discredited policies of the past which have brought about this American tragedy have not been changed. This "student call for a Vietnam Moratorium" (in abbreviated form) has been endorsed by over
500 college student government presidents and campus newspaper .
editors.

Academic cooperation in various parts of the nation difr'ers. .


A t Rutgers, for instance, President Mason Gross fully supports
the moratorium as does New Jersey Senator Clifford Case. Gross
called on camps organizations to observe the moratorium by holding debates, panel discussions, conferences, music, theater, and
movies suitable for such a day of critical reflection. In California,
although full support statements have been issued by Senator Alan
Cranston (Democrat) and other leading political figures, Glenn S.
Dumke, chancellor of the state college system, probably with the
full support of Governor Reagan, has taken a firm anti-protest
line. D u d e sent a letter to the presidents of the nineteen colleges
in the system prohibiting them from endorsing the moratorium. He
also ordered them to take "formal disciplinary proceedings" against
professors who dismiss classes.
Dr. Andrew Cordier, new Preside% of Columbia University,
in an effort to prevent the new Co1umbia;IJniversity senate from
taking a formal position in favor of the moratorium, addressed the
group,stathig that he personally shared the abhorrence of all to the
war. He stated that the conflict has become more and.mo.re shamef u l and is a w a r that cannot be won. Cordier hoped that the University would not, however, take a stand in .a political matter. Cordier's
appeal failed and the University senate, heavily populated with students and younger faculty members, voted 51 to 25 to support the
national moratorium. Two weeks later the Arts and Science Faculty
Senate at Harvard followed suit taking a position for the first time
in Harvard's history in a national political matter.

Among the prominent national organizations actively involved


in planned protest on October 15 are several well known, politically
extreme left entities, among them: Dagmar Wilson's, Women's
Strike for Peace; Dave Dellinger's (and Rennie Davis'), New Mobilization Committee; and Leon Trotsky's (SWP-YSA) Student Mobe.
A number of more localized and lesser known groups such as
Political Action for Peace, National Association of Elack Students,
the Detroit Coalition Committee, the National Association of Social
Workers and many, many others are participating. The bulk of the .
promotion and propagandizing, however, has been handled (most
effectively) by the VMC. This organization incidentally describes

*

itseli as a n ad hoc group with only'one objective-ending the present war through accelerated non-violent demonstrations. The New
Mobe seems to have relinquished the October leadership role to
Sam Brown and the VMC, and is pointing its major effort toward
the mid-November, Stop the W a r demonstration. .
8.

As for personalities, the usual troublemakers are much in


evidence for next week's protest. Counted among this group are
baby doctor Benjamin Spock, grape picker Cesar Chavez, Noam
Chomsky of MIT, and many others. New faces, however, prominent
people regarded as loyal Americans, have instilled the day with respectability and even patriotism. Such people are Edmund Muskie,
CarDearden, and Harvard's John Kenneth Galbraith.

. .

The U. S. Senate and the House of Representatives have been


vocal on the topic in recent days, and Wednesday the 15th is scheduled to be Vietnam Resolutie's Day which' was conceived as a way
of expressing congressional encouragement for the nationwide classroom moratorium. A broad anti-war resolution for a speedy end
to American involvement, -taken by .the VMC as an implied endorsement to moratorium demonstrations, was recently signed'by 108
representatives. Additionally, nineteen senators (11Democrats
and 8 Republicans) have, in varying degrees supported planned activities of the VMC and many will speak at rallies next week. These
Senators are McCarthy (D-Minn.), Goodeh (R-N. Y. ), Hztfield
(R-Ore. 1, McGovern (D-S.
D. ), a r r i s (D-Okla. ), Cooper (R-Ky. ),
Cook (R-Ky. ), Saxbe (R-Ohio),Javits (R-N. Y.), Percy (R-IZ1.1,
Case (R-N. J. 1, Hart (D-Mich.), Mansfield (D-Mont. 1, Fulbright
(D-Ark. ), Kennedy (D-Mass. 1, Hughes (D-Iowa), Muskie (D-Maine),
Church (D-I-o),
and Cranston (D-Cdlif. ).

With the exclusion of minor exceptions, such as planned antiwar activities in cooperation with the VMC, and spontaneous demI

onstrations that may erupt in several hot spots, new left radical
activists are, this time, relatively uninvolved. Current SDS management (Mark Rudd and others) is virtually silent on October 15
activities (and the VMC disavows any connection with SDS) preferring instead to shake up Chicago with its own demonstrationon
behalf of the.Conspiracy 8 which precedes the national VMC effort.

Most probably, SDS would rather prompt their own headlines rather
than create the image of an "also ran" in someone else's act. Additionally, Negro groups (with the minor exception of the National
Association of Black Students which recently broke away from the
National Student Association) are conspicuously absent furthering
evidence that the Negro collegian feels that separatism, even in
popular national movements, is the black man's best course.
Howard University w i l l have their own anti-war protest dong the
pattern of the VMC, but will not cooperate in the general demonstration. Although the CPUSA, PLP, and SWP have not been reported
in the press as participants for the demonstrations of the 15th, the
old line communist groups naturally regard the moratorium as
nationdly divisive, therefore, gocd. Domestic communist newspapers have played up the magnitude and universality of the moratorium.
8

. .

The 15th of October moratorium has also prompted protest


activity in the Executive Eranch as well as on the worker level of
the Legislztive Branch of Government. On October 15th pro-moratorium speakers w i l l address employees of the Department of Agriculture, the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission, the
Civil Rights Commission, the Office of Economic Opportunitj, and
the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Additionally,

'employees at a number of other agencies including the Department


of Defense (Pentagon), General Services Administration, and the
Library of Congress will pass out leaflets to fellow emiAoyees.
Congressional staff members are planning a vigil on the Capitol's
west front steps.

Added impetus, at least added grist for the ,anti-war propa-

ganda mill has apparently been prompted by two recent zdministration moves. Both may well have been necessary, but have seemed
to play into the hands of dissidents. First was Senator Scott's call
in camera for a sixty day moratorium on criticism of administration policies on Vietnam. Senator Scott's sincere and probably
purposeful request was immediately tagged as contrary to American
.
freedom to dissent and petition. Then, unfortunately, President
Nixon's recent statement that he would not be influenced by protest
..
'b

IC0 001 8 13 5

demonstrations prompted anti-war advocates to label Mr. Nixon


unresponsive to the national w i l l (a highly debatable assumption in
view of the many millions of Americans who continue to believe
U. S. Vietnam policy realistic under the circumstances and see
the remaining U. S. demand that the Sovth Vietnamese be allowed
to choose their governmelt by free elections, regardless of the outcome, as most reasonable). The President's well-intentioned statement, designed undoubtedly to minimize demonstration impact and
at the same time to ''lay it on the h e ' ' for Hanoi, seems to have
bacldired and may swell the protest ranks. The President's troop
withdrawal and pronouncements to Vietnamize the w a r are considered
by anti-war spokesmen, tokenism and too slow. A t the present rate
of troop withdrawal, anti-war supporters calculate continued American hvolvement until 1978. The yithdrawal figure pressed by the
VMC is 2,500 men a day, not, naturally, to'be replaced by additional
troops.
*

.i

..

~n opposition to the v ~ i C
on several campuses is a momentarily feeble Young Americans for Freedom. The YAF (like SDS,
presently suffering a serious philosophical split in the YAF case
between traditionalists and libertarians); founded bx William
Buckley in 1960, is dedicated to traditional (and libertarian) conservativism and has announced its intention to seek punishing court
orders in the event college classes a r e suspended on the 15th. Such
an approach, it can be safely predicted, will have absolutely no
affect on planned vim, teach-ins, and rallies.

..

As for college campus participation, about one hundred colleges and universities planning activities of a variety of natures
have been mentioned in local newspapers in the past two weeks. The
VMC claims, so f q to have pledges of participation from 700 cul'leges and expects a total of over l,000 before the 15th. N a t u r d y
the big schools are amply represented. Prominent in the list are
such schools as the University of Michigan, University of Maryland,
Harvard, Columbia, University of California at Berkeley (also
seriously infected with other problems), Rutgers, Princeton, and
.
Wisconsin, j u s t to name a few. More surprising is the pledge of
particiwtion from some small, often religiously affiliated, exclusive women's colleges, such as Mary Baldwin (Virginia), Mercer
University (Georgia), Nazareth College (Rochester,. New York),
I

.\;

'b

..

..
Pace, Marymount and Finch (in New York). The girls at tiny Barat
College at Lake Forest, Illinois (a Catholic women's college) plan
an active leafletting campaign in the Chicago area. The nature of
planned activity is peaceful and most schools (high schools, too)
anticipate both on and off campus demonstrations consisting of teachins, vigils, marches, and candblight marches, petitioning, door
to door canvassing and the like.

I.*.-.*
.I -.: :

..

In Washington, included in a vast number of activities planned


for the area on the 15th are VMC plans for a march through down*

town and a massive rally on the monument grounds at the height of


the evening rush hour (beginning at 5 p. m. ) and an address by Mrs.
Martin Luther King at 7 p. m. Then the demonstrators plan a
candlelight procession around the White House. Senator McGovern
vJill speak at an American University rally Wednesday morning and
in the afternoon, Dr. Spock is scheduled 40 speak at George Washington. An afternoon march>s d s o scheduled to Selective Service
Headquarters at 1724 F Street, N. W. The Washington demonstration has the complete support of D. C. Democratic national committeeman Channing Phillips and city council vice-chairman Sterling
Tucker among a number of other civic leaders. The Washington
demonstration will include thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of
protesters, and although billed as non-violent, the possibility of
isolated incidents by and among a considerable number of people,
after dark cannot be completely dismissed.
In summary, the moratorium can be expected to be highly
successful. Demofistrations w i l l be massive, in totality but not
separately,for the most part non-violent, broadly supported and
nationwide. Although with the element of spontaneity it is most
difficult to predict, if trouble (violence) comes it will most probably occur in those places with either a recent tradition for trouble
(such as Columbia; New york University and San Francisco State)
o r places where other serious problems promote added stress to
demonstrations (such as Harvard, several University of California
campuses, the cities of Chicago and Madison, Wisconsin, and
several other locations).

1968, has continued, 8s one of t h e eight.defendants has sald, t o resemble a three-ring circus with Judge Julius J. Hoffman as ri-ter.

Duringthe past week, t h e court was recessed f o r three days t o


pennit Defense Attorney UilUem M. Kunstler t o argue in a Boston court
on Monday, 6 October; and l i t t l e appears t o have been accomplished
during this second week of the trial, though Judge Hofnpan did rule
t h a t round-the-clock surveillance, which occuxred during the Convention
demonstrations, did not vtolate the defendants' ri@t t o privacy, as
vas claimed by t h e Defense. In derqing a defense motion in t h a t connectiorl, the Judge stated that "the right t o speak and assemble does
not include the r i g h t t o do so in public unobierved."
Be&lnning in t h e afternoon of 2 Octo-,
t h e prosecution concent r a t e d on Jerry Rubin's actions i n Chicago'during the demonstrations,
and an undercover pollce sergeant testified t h a t on t h e evening of
25 A u g u s t 1968, Rubin t o l d a crowd in Lincoln Park that a squad of
eleven policemen was t q d n g t o keep t h e people from usiog the park;
shouted, "Let's get these (obscenities) out of here"; R I flicked
~
a
cigarette toward t h e police, af'ter which t h e crowd began t h r a t i n g cens,
rocks, sticks, e t c . On t h e next evening, accordin& t o tlre witness,
Rubin t o l d g large group i n the p r k , "The pigs started the violence
but tonight the people aren't going t o give up t h e park...we have t o
fight them"; shouted, "They have guns and sticks so we have t o a r m
ourselves v i t h rocks, sticks, and everything w e can get"; and asked
a group of ebaut two hundred persons gathered i n Lincoln Park t o a t tend a demonstration,on "how t o f i g h t the p i p " . Abbie Hoffmao demonstrated a series of motions with hands and knees: & Rubin later remindcd those i n t h e park not t o forget the gigantic love-in planned
for t h e beach t h a t night. The police sergeant f u r t h e r t e s t i f i e d t h a t
he overheard an identified man (sic) say t o Rubin, Vow is t h e time
f o r the flares and the fires"; and that Rubin at first dis-eed,
but
mer t h e man noted t h a t nothing YBO happening, annrered, "OK, go
get them." Rubin was also quoted as shouting a t t h e police: "your
children are pigs. You're pigs...take off your guns and w e ' l l f i g h t

Rubin had 1 ~ 0 a1 ~similar football helmet; and that, besides, TRvin
is several inches taller than Rubin. Later, at a news conference, the
defense contended t h a t Levin had been mistaken for Rubin at the demons t r e t i o n i n Lincoln Park; and produced a t h i r d %ubln", a student named
David Boyd, who said the Chicago police had chadhim f o r six days
aad nights during t h e Convention, thinking he was Rubin.

A second undercover policeman testified t h a t Abbie Hof+n


approached h i m i n G r a n t Park on 29 A w t 1968 and pointing t o a deputy
police superintendent asked, "Are you wlth me? See t h a t c a t with the
stars, if he don't talk we're going t o hold h i m and then we can do
anything we want and t h e police won't bother us." (The xitness d i d
nct see Hofattempt t o follow up on his stcitcment.)

Judge Hofftpan, who has taken a stern gositiou i n conducting t h e


trial of t h e eight defendants .in Chicago ahd has freely indulged i n
sarcasm and "stinging" rebukes i n dealing with the defendants and
t h e i r lawyers, i s receiving a c r i t i c a l press. The IJas York Times
ran an a r t i c l e on 5 October: "The Judge Himself Bec0mes.m Issue
in Chicago Trial"; an6 both Time and Life magazines have condemned
him f o r his a t t i t u d e i n "consistently overmiling defense motions" and
i n f a i l i n g t o demonstrate impartiality. Some legal experts, it has
been reported, b e l l w e that his behavior has "already paved t h e vay
f o r a successful appeal, should the eight be convicted"; and thirteen
members of the Hervard Law School (In objecting t o Judge Hoffmsn's
ordering t h e orrest of four defense attorneys who sent telegrams i n
withdrawiw from the case) asked t h e I l l i n o i s Bar Association t o iavestigate the JUage's actions, s t a t i n g t h a t ''Judge Hoffman's conduct
can only serve t o weaken a basic American principle:
The rigl'zt of
even the most unpopular defendant t o adequate legal representation

It should be noted In defense of Judw Hoffbraa, however, that


t h e conduct of the defendants and the a c t i v i t i e s of t h e i r lawyers leave
much t o be desired where cuwt decorum I s concerned. Abbie Hoffmaa
. and J e n y Rubln are reported t o "@&e and confer endlessly in c o u t
and pass notes back and f o r t h like naughty school children"; and Abbie
Hoffmea at one point ur@ his fellow defendants t o join h i m in leaping
t o h i s feet and yelllug, "(
) the Judge", when Judge Hoffman
entered the courtroom. Usdefehdaats declined.

I n and out of court, the defendants use t h e t r i a l as a platform


for expounding their Views and for continuing t h e i r agitation must
the war and 8aalnst the Nixon Administration. As Rennie Davls has put
it: "we hope t o make the courtroom a classroom f o r the nation." They
have Contacted foreign countries in an e f f o r t t o bring t h e t r i a l t o
the attention of the United Netions, with a view t o i t s being handled
as the South Africa r a c i a l trials were, with debate and condemnation;
they are arranging a national strike of law students on 3 November,
the theme of which will be "Stop the Trial"; they have I n i t i a t e d "Conspiracy Clubs" on several campuses end are trylng t o make their trial
a focal point for campus anti--war demonstr&lons. They regularly hold
press and television conferenoes a t lunch &cess where, as one l.IRshin4-

-ton Post a r t i c l e put it, "the news codferences have given the defense

an unprecedented forum t o counter-prosecute.the government and get Its


side across." They claim that t h e C i t y of Chicago was,responsible
f o r t h e violence duxiw the Democratic National Convention; and their
constant theme is t h a t it i s Mayor Ibley and former President Lyndon
Johnson who should have been indicted. It war, they say, the City
of Chicago, its Mayor, and t h e Federal Administration who 'rconspIred
t o deter peaceful demonstrations." Out-of-court commentary by t h e
defense attopeys,Weinglass and Kunstler,has been such t h a t both are
under t h e threat of contempt citations for violating a court rule
FegardiU& outside C m n t 8 .
During the second week of t h e trial, 1 t o 7 October, no significant disturbances took place at or near t h e court i n Chicago where t h e
t r i a l is taking place, a1t-h
a s m a l l group of SDS members was heard
t o discuss the possibility of placing a bomb In t h e Federal Building
whlch contains t h e courtroom; and, 86 t h e t r i a l progressed, U.S. marshalls searched everybnc entering the Federal Building and security wo9
tightened af'ter t h e marshalls reported that several bomb threats had
been received. The relative qulet vhfch prevailed would obviously not
continue, however, as vas indicated by t h e reported a c t i v i t i e s of -1o w N e w ' L e f t organizations, particularly the Students f o r a Democratic
Society (SDS); and more particularly the "Weatherman" (RX4 I) faction
of SDS headed by Mark Rudd, who sometime ago condemned the plans of the

'

Revolutlonary Youth Movement If (RXM If) faction for a peaceful mss6


action, s t a t i n g t h a t it hanued t h e preparations under way for a viol e n t revolutionistic e n c m t c r in Chicago.

!I. *

That an increasing apprehension f e l t by zuthoritles in Chicago


was warranted, was demonstrated during the evening of 8 October, t h e
first of t h e four day8 of scheduled SDS demonstrations (end the first
day of the t h i r d week of the t r i a l ) , vhen violence en@& follarLIlg

a Weathem/SlX sponsored rally In Lincoln Park. First reports of


the rioting, which described the melee as "reminiscent of t h e 1968
Democratic National Convention violence" and noted serious damBge to
persons and property, indicate that Judge Hoffban uas a prime target.
The mob, when It "surged" from t h e park, headed f o r t h e Drake Hotel
where Judge Haifban resides-some wearing helmets and cafiyLng clubs,
chains, and ctoues. It did extensive damaee t o storefronts and parked
cars enroute; but was dispersed by police before it reached the Judge's
place of residence.

In the pa.st s e v e r a l daya, s e v e r a l of the m o s t prominent Cong r e s s i o n a l peaceniks have "dove"-tailed back into the anti-war bird.
Now S e n a t o r s McCarthy, McGovern, and Coodell along with R e p r c s e n tativos Lowenstein and Roscnthal (both of New York) not only support
but will participate i n demonstrations on the 15th. The violence quotient, however, along with the dedicated extreme left political c h a r a c ter of Ncw Mobe l e a d e r s , has discouraged the l a r g e block of C o n g r e s sional support enjoyed by the V M C on October 15.
Entertainment h a s r e p o r t e d l y now becn tined up and the demonstrators will be a m u s e d o n the evening of the. 15th b y old hands in thc

The Novembcr 11, pro-administration show of s u p p o r t is not


espectcd to influcncc one way o r another the size of the .wcckcnd.
Although a patriotic showing was significant i n somc 1ocati;ns on thc
llth, t h a t showing came l a r g c l y from expected q u a r t e r s v e t groups,
Mendcl R i v e r s , Lester Maddox, and tlic eclipsed gencration of the
plus 40 age'group, and the like. The Bob Hopc drive f o r national unity might
bc felt next time, but for now, it is too litlie, too l a t c , and too d i r e c t c d
toward thoso, who as a . m a t t e r of m o d e r a t e principle, don't get involved.

To the undoubted chagrin of New Mobe o r g a n i z e r s , according


to a r e c c n t Gallup Poll, V i c e - p r e s i d e n t Agncw's popularity h a s grown
s i n c e his "effete impudent snobs1' speech. Be it by combined admini s t r a t i o n calculation o r by Mr. Agnew's indcpendcnt p e r s o n a l conviction, h i s "call it as he sees it" public utteranccs have hclpcd, not
hurt, t h c establishment point of defense. On the o t h e r hand, the public pronouncements o f advocates f o r the p r o t e s t s will likely push many
rail s t r a d d l e r s into thc Government camp. A spokesman for t h c
American Civil L i b e r t i e s Union, L a w r e n c c S p e i s c r , for cxamplc,
during the p c r m i t s negotiations c r i t i c i z e d the administration bargain-.
ing position as bcing eitlrcr "stupidity b o t d c r i n g on c r i m i n a l ncgligcncu

The New Mobe u m b r e l l a i s competing on November 14 with the


Apollo 12 moon shot. To date public e n t h u s i a s m for Apollo 12 a p p e a r s
astoundingly slight. A s a scientific event, people seem t o feel that it's
a l r e a d y b e e n done. Much of the public can't even name the voyagers.
Apollo 12 will probably not significantly influence the d e m o n s t r a t i o n
nose count except during blastoff.

The weatherman (meteorologist) is forecasting p r o e st ablis hm e n t conditions, at least f o r the beginning of the p r o t e s t weekend. T h u r s day night and F r i d a y preuents a 60% chance of rain with t e m p e r a t u r e s
hovering slightly above freezing T h u r s d a y night, and r i s i n g only to the
mid-forties on Friday. T h e r e is s o m e chance of snow mixed with r a i n
in the predawn hours. on Friday. Wind conditions are also f o r e c a s t ,
making the c l i m a t i c outlook bleak for demonstration participants and
further complicating the logistics problems. T h e New Mobe l e a d e r s
felt s e v e r a l weeks ago, that all that was needed to swell p r o t e s t r a n k s
t o m a m m o t h proportions was another speech by V i c e - p r e s i d e n t A g n e w
(which o c c u r r e d ) and good weather (which G a y not occur). Those outof-towners who are coming t o Washington will probably not change t h e i r
plans. They will b e cold and wet, if p r e s e n t f o r e c a s t s hold up, but thcy
will be here. The local, c a s u a l p r o t e s t e r s , however, who c o m p r i s e
a s i z a b l e contingent, r e p r e s e n t a different story. If b a d weather p e r sists through the weekend, m a n y l o c a l s w i l l opt for staying home, thus
dropping the crowd s e v e r a l percentage poihts.
The activities of November 13-15, whether successful o r not,
o r meaningful o r not, shape up to be the second l a r g e s t p r o t e s t dcmons t r a t i o n in the history of the nation's capitol. An e s t i m a t e d 200,000
people took p a r t i n tqe 1963 civil rights demonstration. The New Mobe
leadership a p p e a r s ready, a s do the f o r c e s c h a r g e d with maintaining
civil o r d e r . Monday morning q u a r t e r b a c k s are probably ready too.

action, it would a p p e a r that Dellinger et al. will be able to m u s t e r
a goodly 8ited crowd for this p r o t e s t a g a i n s t the Chicago c o n s p i r a c y
trial. Abbie Hoffman predicts 100,000 will m a r c h o n the "Department
of Injustice, s u r r o u n d it, picket it, and pick it up and take it home."
Weatherman SDS r e p o r t e d l y feels the Justice Department action h a s
the " g r e a t e r t potential. a' RYM-XI SDS will a180 participate, as will,
reputedly, the Revolutionary Brigade. Many of the SDS m e m b e r s ,

rcportcd t o be s y o k o r i n g a city-widF s t r i k e and r a l l y at Chicago that
day t e demand that Scale bc freed. It was hoped t h s t 2 5 , 0 0 0 w u l d participate; but i n view of a lack of national news c o v c r a p , i t would seem
that t h i s was a highly optimistic and vain hope.

3 November, the Black P a n t h e r P a r t y (&PI.')was sporr- .


soring d e m o n s t r a t i o n s al Chicago. San F r a n c i s c o , and S c w York to prot e s t the t r e a t m e n t of Scale; and i t was bel&ved that thc Southern C h r i s tian L c a d c r s h i p Confercncc (SCLC) and youth gangs might participate.
According to Lonfidcntial FPI informanfs, a BPP l e a d c r had i s s u e d ins t r u c t i o n s that dcrnonstrations should be hcld o n that d a t e ( 3 Nov. ) in froirt
of k-ecleral Buildings i n Ncw York City, Uoston, Philadelphia. and New

According t o a 4 Novcmbcr F B I - m e s s a g e , relatively s n t a l l demons t r a t i o n s occurre*.\ i n New York City, Boston, N e w iiavcn, Philadelphia,

Kkanwhilc, it is interesting to note that after a n cxtraustivc rcview of the TV covcrage ot last y e a r ' s National Democratic Convention,
"House investigators" have concluded that the T V networks s e e m c d hoslilc t o t h e Democratic P a r t y and that cautious legislation is nccdecl to

During the ninth and tenth weeks of the trial (19 November2 December) the prosecution continued to present its witnesses against
the "Chicago 7"; and on Friday, 5 December, in the eleventh week of
the trial, the Government rested its case.
Public interest in the trial, o r at leart the interest of some
segments of the public, har perhapr begun to wane. The New York
Times, on 19 November, noted that the rpectator rection i n the courtroom, "which usually has been packed early, was only three-fourths
f u l l yesterday and the.press section contained only .representatives
of the Chicago news media.

Defense Attorney W i l l i a m M. Kunstler-continued during the week


beginning on the 19th, "to attempt to chip awayt' at the testimony of
undercover Chicago policeman Irvin Bock, 6ho infiltrated the leadershig of Chicago and National antiwar groupi and attended the .sesrions .
at which they planned the demonstrations which. took place dbring the
Democratic National Convention. B$Ck testified during a n almost weeklong cross-examination that he talked with "Abbie Hoffman at-headquart e r s of the National Mobilization Committee to End the W a r in Vietnam
(NMC)on 27 August 1968, and that Hoffman+sked if he s a w the police
c a r "busted ugtin Lincoln P a r k the night .before-commenting that it was
a wild scene and adding that more dcmonstr8t~onswere planned for
that night (28 August) i n the Park. H e also testified about a speech
he heard Bobby S a l e give in Lincoln P a r k during Convention week.
Considerable irgument warn heard ?8 to whether o r not certain
files of the Chicago Police Department's undercover agency (its "Red
Squad") should be turned over to the defense. Judge Hoifman originally ruled that records of undercover investigations during the four
and one-half monthr in 1968, covered in the indictment of the "Chicago 7"
must be shown to defenra lawyers. However, the Judge's order which
would have involved the turning over of all reports and names of undercover agents involved, wad protested by the Chicago Police Departmentit being argued that the surrender of this information "would emasculate
the subversion unit of the intelligence divirion" by revealing the identities of ite'agents.. Judge Hoffm8n finally modified hie original order and

ruled in a lengthy opinion from the bench that the subversion unit
need not disclose material concerning the case if the agents who collected i t a r e still involved in undercover operations related to other
fnvestigations. This he considered necessary to conceal the identity
of agents working on investigation9 of organized crime. The defense
reportedly had expected to rebut testimony given by some undercover
agents with the reports of other police agents who allegedly provided
conflicting testimony.
On 20 November, the defense failed i n its effort to prevent
the showing at the trial of a three-minute television film taken by a
CBS cameraman which pictured demonstrators hauling down an American flag in Grant Park. Defense attorneys argued that the prosecution
wanted $0 show the fl2g incident "to inflame and prejudice the jury')
and claimed that none of the seven gefendants had been tied to the planning o r the execution of the incident. The prosecution, while conceding
that the film showed none of the defendants, said there would be testimony that Rubin was involved in the inciden5gnd that it demonstrated

Joseph Hale, a n agent of the Chicago Police ?epartment's subversive unit during the Convention, testified that h e 'heard J e r r y Rubin

thrown at policemen.
On 24 November, the prosecution asked Judge Hoffman to rule

that a prima facie case of conspiracy had been proved against the
"Chicago 7", claiming that it had established that a conspiracy existed
among the seven defendants accused of crossing state lines to start a
riot at the Democratic National Convention last year and citing nearly
forty instances to sustain i t a claim.
Defense Attorney Kunstler objected strongly to the Government's
contention, claiming.that it had not proved the existence of any conspiratorial agreement among the defendants. Judge Hoffman, however,
agreed with the Government's claim and was reported to have asked

Typical, perhaps, of what may be expected to be the reaction


'

of the court, is the fact that the firrt defense witness called was terminated by Judge Hoffman without being allowed to testify. Edward

Sparling, President Emeritus of Roosevelt University, had been subpoenaed by the defense to testify regarding a citizens report which
found Chicago police guilty of "brutallzing" peace demonstrators in
-April 1968. (This was, of courme, months before the violence connected with the Dernocratk National Convention. ) Sparling was chairman
of the citizens committee which accused the police of "brutalizing some
demonstrators without provocation. '' The defense maintained that it
was in reaction to thi8 "brutalizing" that the defendants undertook protective measures before the Convention began in August 1968. Those
measures included holding karate practice sessions, instructing protestere to bring helmets, etc. Government witnesses had cited these
measures as evidence that the deferdants had intended to cause vielence at the Convention.

On 10 December, a woman mymber of the British Parliament


testified regarding h e r experience outside the Conrad Hilton. Hotel
on 28 August;l968, that police picked her up and:threw her into the
police wagon ,when, upon being told by them. "to move along" she
replied: "I'm just talking to these young people." The woman, who
addressed Judge Hoffman as "My Lord" and told him "Just call me
Anne", put on quite a show in the courtroom. She insisted upon being
furnished a Bible to swear on, despite Judge Hoffman's statement that
there was none in court and that none was necessary; and subsequently
demonetrated, in a clear voice, how she had stood on tiptoe i n the
paddy wagon and sung "We Shall OVercomd" out of the paddy wagon
window. A policeman on the outride sprayed mace in hdr face, she
said. Judge Hoffman repeatedly cautioned her not to embellish her
testimony with personal opinion and personal objections.
Also on 10 December, Cornel1 graduate student Sarah Diamant,
who said she went to Chicago during the Convention to take film for
her doctoral dissertation comparing nineteenth century abolitionists
with current student activists, was put on the stand as the sixth defense witness to testify about police action in Grant Park and outside
the Conrad Hilton Hotel on 28 August. According to the witness, she,

shoulders and beat across the nose a man who tried to help her. She
also testified to having been "maccdl' twice while trying to film confrontations. A l l six witnesser reportedly agreed that the police initiated the confrontations and used unnecarsary force. A film taken by
M r s . Diamant was shown t o the court at the request of the defense-portions of which the prosecution objected to as "clearly editorial. ''
During the day, Attorney Leonard L Weinglass accused Judge
Hoffman of showing favoritism when he refused to.permit Fred Cardner, radical writer and editor, to continue to testify about what some
of the defendants told him during the Convention. He had already testified that Tom Hayden told him that two policemen threatened to kill
him, and had begun to testify about a threat aliegedly made against the
life of Abbie Hoffman.

Earlier in the day, Judge Hoffman had rejected a defense motion to stop the trial on the grounds that it is having I t a chilling effect"
on the right to dissent--ruling that the motion was "wholly without
foundation.
The day's session lasted only two and one-half hours,
in order that Defense Attorney Kunstler could argue a case before
the Virginia Supreme Court.
On 25 November, tape recordings made during the Lincoln
P a r k rally on 27 August 1968, by a civilian investigator for the Navy
who had been assigned to assist the Secret Service in protecting
prominent Government officials during the Convention, were introduced over defense objections. The following day, the agent while
under cross-examination by the defense agreed that David Dellinger
had, in Grant Park, repeatedly pleaded with the crowd to remain calm
and not clash with the police.

On 26 November, a day in court described as "tumultuous",


Judge Hoffman refused a defense motion f0fl.a writ of habeas corpus
to release John Sinclair, a White Panther .Party leader jailed on a
marijuana charge, to permit him to belbiought to Chicago &seadefense
witness. According to defense attoTeys, Sinciair, a former Yippie
member, was "the only person available ia the counky" who could
testify to the: peaceful intentions of the Yippies during the Convention
demonstrations. Judge Hoffman, however,. ruled that his testimony
would be "cumulative" with testimony that could be' given by another
witness; and commented on the element of danger in bringing convicts
from another state. The ruling brought loud angry protests from the
defense, notably David Dellinger, Abbie Hoffman, and Rennie Davis;
and Attorney Kunstier asked f o r a recess, stating that his clients
wished to discuss "this decision which has shocked and stunned them.
The day ended i n a shouting match betweeh the lawyers, after Judge
Hoffman told the jury he w a s sorry they would have to b'e sequestered
in their hotel during Thanksgiving. Kunstlet leaped up declaring:
"It's not our fault. The defense moved to have sequestration ended
weeks ago"; and Assistant 0.S. Attorney Richard Schultz interrupted
saying: "If the defense weren't stalling, the trial would'be over now
and you would all be home. I'

Dellinger the demonstrators would be permitted to continue their rally
in the band shell i n Grant P a r k o r t o march north to Lincoln Park,
but would under no circumetanccs be permitted to march to the International Amphiteater where the Convention was being held. Dellinger
told him, "We're going to march. We're going to the Amphitheater.
I do not have to listen to you. " Dellinger then turned his back and
walked away--whereupon the demonstrators suddenly Wooded" into

The Government's finaL w i t n d s , Albert BauKher,. a n assistant


director of Chicago's Department of Human Resources, whd was heard
on 4 December, testified that several of the defendants expressed
willingness to see violence in the streets during the Democratic National
Convention. 'Baugher said he m e t with David Dellinger the day before
the Convention opened and warned him that the planned demonstrations
could cause riots. He w a s told by Dellinger, he said, that the demonstrators didn't care about riots; that they were going to march anyway;
and that the riots were Chicagotr problem. Abbie Hoffman, he testified, had told him earlier that he was "willing to die i n the streets if
necessary to open this city up. It

Mr. Baugher, whose testimony was regarded by

some observers.

as the most damaging during the ten-week-long trial, bad been assigned
in the summer of 1968 to help in dealing with the groups.planning demonstrations during the Convention; and in that capacity had met several
times with a number of the defendants t o discuss applications for permits, proposed march routes, etc. At a meeting on 7 August 1968,
Mr. Baugher recalled, Abbie Hoffman and J e r r y Rubin angrily asked
why the city was not i ~ r u i n gthem permits to march and to sleep in the
city's parks, and were told by him that they had already had a t least
one permit but had surrendered it. H e told them it was bis understanding

. that the'Free

City Survival Committee, a group of Chicago Hippies,


had given up their permit because they feared the planned events in
Lincoln P a r k during the Convention would "not be a festival of life but
a festival of blood." At a meeting on 12 August, David Dellinger and
Rennie Davis both warned that many American were willing to use violence i f necessary to obtain their civil rights. During the afternoon
of 26 August, in Lincoln Park, Abbie Hoffman warned several times
that unlers the demonstrators were given facilities for a rock concert,
they would "tear this Coddam park apart. Io;and when several demonstrators began closing in on the police and heaving atones and other
objects, Mr. Baugher said he heard Hoffman mutter "This is beautiful,
this is beautiful.''
..
Upon completion of Mr. Baugher's testimony which terminated
the case for the prosecution, and d t e r his cross-examination by defense
lawyers, the defense immediately moved for a-directed verdict of'
acquittal-Attorney Kunstler stating that defiepse arguments on the
request would be extensive. Judge Hoffman,replied. "only as extensive
as f'permit it to be,"; and during the folle&g
..
session of court rejected
*

the motion.

Earlier Judge Hoffman had qwshed"a defense -subpoena of confidential FBI 'records, to include all reports on the 'defendants and
alleged eo-conspirators as well as reports besulting from electronic
surveillance; and the addresses of all agents and informers. H e also
quashed a demand that FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover testify, saying
that it war a "fishing" expedition.
The trial of thq "Chicago 7" during the presentation of the case
for the defense, which began on Monday, qecember 8. promises to be
no less unorthodox than it w a s .during the ten weeks of the prosecution's
presentation. In an interview shortly before the defense opened. Tom
Hayden stated that the jury will be invited to "commit civil disobedience
against the Judge's (final) instructions.. Chicago 1968 will be recreated.
. He said that the "hidden issuesvobehind the "persecution:' of the defendanta will be disclosed and that the defense will prove that the seven
acted'legally and "came to Chicago as participants i n the recreation
of a new society in tho streets.. which continues its growth with its
own natural laws, structures, language, and symbols. It The defense
will. he said, argue the necessity of revolution against "dinosaurs
controlling an obsolete system. ' I .

David Dellinger, one of the "activists" in the Venceremos


Brigade which is currently involved in sending Americans (many
f r o m U.S. campuses) to Cuba to help harvest the sugarcane crop,
has found time to be interviewed at length by Radio Havana regarding the "Chicago 8". their trial and their roles "in the North American radical movement. 'I Typical w a s his statement regarding Bobby
Seale that "He simply stood at the call of hie name and asked that he
be allowed to cross-examine the witnesses." This, almost word for
word, is the statement invariably made in Communist publications
in picturing Sealc's conduct when he was one of the eight defendants
in Chicago. According to Dellinger, as phrased by Radio Havana,
"the definite purpose" of the trial is "to.'smash the growing antiwar
movement in the United States, 'I and "to crush the black liberation. 'I
Dellinger pointed out that the last time he spoke with Radio Havana
was during the Democratic Nationai Convention.

him, the names of other Americans being held. The Department of
Defense criticized the pair for not having released the names immediately--pointing out that a collect telephone call to the Pentagon would
immediately have prqvided names of the next of kin.

There has continued to be considerable editorial expression


of concern over Judge Hoffman's handling of the case and over his lack
of judicial restraint and impartiality- though all concede the strong
provocation under which he labors. There has also been at least some
editorial expression, even by those on the Left, of the belief that the
conduct i n court of the 'Chicago SIc has been such that they have provoked a reaction which will work against them and their causes. W e l l known radical Saul Alinsky has complained that they have committed
"the highest form of social treason", which i s to engage in actions which
bring reactions that strengthen the opposition.

Chicago defendants) and one Betty Garinan, -ap r o t e s t a c t i d s t who
reportedly w a s one ofthose a r r e s t e d durinR the mid-October "U'catherman" riatr in Chicago. A reliable S O U ~ C Cof information r e f l r c t s
that the 14 persons attending the meeting decided that ."TDA" 5 c t i o n
will start at 4:OO p.m. (evening r u s h hour to i n c r e a s e disruotion) on
the da,y following the verdict. Demonstrators will m a r c h from CeorRe
Washington Univerrity to thc Watergate Apartments w h e r e Attorney
General Mitchell resides. "he d e m o n s t r a t o r s will not apply for a
pcrniit and plan. to confront police i f stoppcd. .The demonstration i s
planned to humiliate and embarrass the attorncy generjd. If not
locked out, they will tour (and probably vandalize) the Wabrpatc! to
((see-how the ruling class people live. "

At the same t i m e as the Watergate m a r c h , a synchronized


"diversionary group" is schcduled to m a r c h on t h e D o p a r h n c h t of

Justice building where they will place a "For Sale" sign. The Washington Committee expects from 1,000 to 1,500 participants (probably
an exaggerated estimate).
In previous meetings (late J a n u a r y and e a r l y F e b r u a r y ) a
number of alternative action r t r a t e g i e s w e r e discussed and m a y still
bc in the committcc's p r o t e s t bag. The alternatives included thc
placing of anti-war signs on the Iwo Jima Memorial, a demonstration
at tlic house of J. Edgar Hoover, throwing ketchup-filled balloons at
the Watcrgato Apartments and holding a "Guerrilla TheatCr'l d a y
entitled "The Rape of Justice. 'I In this presentation actors n o t t r a y
tlra attorndy-general and o t h e r politicians who "rapc" justice, a role
played by a girl.

the possibility of some "trashing" or evcn s t r o n g e r action must not
be discounted.

T h e Weatherman faction of SDS will probably be h e a r d f r o m


again this s u m m e r . As was widely predicted, the Weatherma<"Days
of Terror" demonstrations last October in Chicago w h c r c 284 arrests
w e r e m a d e (the l a r g e s t campus contingent was Kent Statc with 9 ) flopped
badly. T h e remnants'of the Weatherman faction have now been d r i v e n
underground. The Weatherman leadership, which presently includes e
Matk'Rudd, B e r n a r d i n e Dohrn and o t h e r s , (rince October h a s been
r e p o r t e d meeting $wicc, once immediately followink the Octobct demons t r a t i o n s in a remote Illinois state park and apain around C h r i s t m a s
t i m e at Flint, Michigan. Subsequent Weatherman events bavc bccn t h c
explosion of the New York bomb factory and a fcdcral indictment a g a i n s t

demonstration.

Since last fail Weatherman philosophy has obviously changed


from one of mass m e m b e r s h i p to one of a n e l i t e c o r e of tevolutionary

. Last July t h e . P a n t h e r s held a national confcrence at Oakland,


California, aimed at bringing together all a l c m c n t s , black and w h i t e ,
of t h c new left. It was at t h i s confercnce that the name "National Committee to Combat Facism" was originated. In attendancc at the Oakland
meeting w e r e m e m b e r s of the Communist Party, SDS, and other e x t r e m i s t
elements. One of the i m m e d i a t e goals of the NCCF is community con!rol
of police forces.
Although the July confcrencc flopped, m o s t likely Communist
P a r t y delegates to the confcrcnce offered 'advice to the B l a i k P a n t h e r s
in thc proven value of fronts.
The 'Panther8 are a l s o involved in the c u z r e n t r a s h of fcuds
among e x t r e m i s t s . Amon8 the P a n t h e r epithets for'white r a d i c a l s whom
they dislike are Zionists, ideological phonics, pseudo- revolutionaries,
egotistical raci6ts --and numerous o t h e r ferocious names. P r i n c i p a l
r h e t o r i c a l spokeeman for the P a r t y is E l b e r t E m c y (Big Man) Howard
who is deputy m i n i s t e r of information and managing e d i t o r of the P a r t y '
newspaper, thc Black Panther. Among the b i t t e r invective Big Man
hcnps on tho new left whites is that the new lcft p o s e s s e s the "socialist
t r a i t s of the Nazis."

'

In coming months the BPP will probably cxpericnce additional


growth throrigh thc utilization of f r n n t organizations and will probably

radical collectives on a local and n a t i o h l le3el which will attempt to

The second p a r t of the New Mobe s t r a t e a y calls for a series of "long
m a r c h e s " on Washington. It is tentatively planned that thcsc m a r c h e s
will proceed for weeks and-will originate at such symbolic places as
Kent, Ohio, and.*Jacksan, Mississippi. Once in Washington, t h e participants in thcsc m a r c h e s would engage in militant civil disobedience,
such as blocking s t r e e t s and sealing off Govcrnm'erat buildings to create
a c r i s i s aimed at forcing the Government to end the war.. . This plan
was opposed by s o m e of the women's groups and other radicals who
. argued that if m a r t i a l law was imposcd in Washington the. black population would suffer most.

SPECIAL INFORMATION REPORT


Direction of the Antiwar Movement

In June two national meetings w e r e held in the U.S. by l e a d e r s


in the antiwar movement. Significant events took place both at
Cleveland and at Milwaukee, largely m i s s e d by news media, which
give salient evidence with r e g a r d to future antiwar activities in A m e r .J. .
.
ica.
First the National Emergency Conference Against the CambodiaLaos-Vietnam W a r was staged a t Cuyahoga Community College under
the sponsorship of the Cleveland A r e a Peace-Action Council. The conf e r e n c e was held f r o m 18-21 June and attrbcted about 1,400 activists.
+ong
the sponsors w e r e s u c h well-known' revolutionaries as M.I. T.'s
professor N o a m Chomsky, black radical clown Dick Gregory and T r o t skyite communist F r e d Halstead. Rdpresentatives-were present from a
number of small second s t r i n g r a d h a l leftist gioupp ihduding the
National Chicago Moratorium, the San Francisco Peace and F r e e d o m
P a r t y , Chicago Women's Liberation Union, Wkrkers L e a g u e and the
Sparticists. The l a t t e r two groups report%dlycreated s o m e comic
relief by their incessant bickering and name-calling over t r i v i a l ideological differences.

The principal and most significant b r e a c h i n conference unity was


perpetrated by the two leading groups which indulged in a three-day
running battle over both tactic and objective. T h e s e b o groups, the
Student Mobe and the Worker Student Alliance (which was out-gunned by
about 2:l) exchanged denunciation and angry rhetoric. Since the
Student Mobe (inspite of announced conference sponsorship) was the
principal conference mover, they managed to out-vote the WSA on all
critical votes.
,

'

In s u m m a r y (and over-simplified) the Student Mobe is the


creation of exceedingly s t r a n g e bedfellows. S e v e r a l y e a r s ago the
CPUSA, the P r o g r e s s i v e Labor P a r t y (which is Maoist)(and the SWP
(which is Trotskyite) jointly launched what w a s to be, f o r classical
communist motives, _a mass antiwar youth group that promised to

'

-he---&
msny yaung people faIIina.'somewhere on the political s p e c t r u m
between e x t r e m e left and mid-centcr. After a y e a r or so of hassling
and ideological indigestion, the CPUSA dropped out of the alliance i n
favor of buoying up i t s own, then sagging and now defunct, W. E. B.
. DuBois Club. A s h o r t time later, after a number of s u c c e s s e s in
takeover operations of the SDS, PLP also quit the shaky alliance. F o r
the past s e v e r a l y e a r s then the Student Mobe has been under qole
guidance and control of the SWP. The Young Socialist Alliance, the
d i r e c t youth appendage of the S W P and in Marxist jargon the youth vanguard (numbering at present probably 2 , 0 0 0 kids), d i r e c t s the activities
of the Student Mobe; and YSA'ers occupy all significant leadership posts
within this broad-based group. In practical t e r m s then, as for guidance
and direction, when one sees in print Student Mobe, it is safe to think
Marx-Trotsky-SWP.
..

The WSA can m o r e completely b e named the Students for a


Democratic Society, P r o g r e s s i v e Labor, Worker Student Alliance
(SDS-PL,WSA). Drawing its principal stren'gth (in t e r m s of constituency) generally in New England, the WSA,dropped the first bomb a t
Chicago in the s u m m e r of 1969 that destro.)ted the national unity and
viibility of the then mushrooming SDS. -The WSA is Maoist in philosophy
and still holds strongly to the Marxisfteaching tliat to pull off a successful revolution a movement m u L a t t r a c t and conqcllipt the worker
(defined as rank-and-file a s opposed to labor 1i'ade;s which the SWP
'
f
favo r s )

*..

'

The'conflict then that poses a very'kerious t h r e a t to the unity of


the communist-cum-peacenik movement in America is simply one of
strong and dogmatic ideological collision. One of the S W P watchwords
is patience, another is "single i s s u e strategy. 'I It is the SWP design
to f i r s t use their mass of kids (the Student Mobe), a known factor, f o r
continued mass demonstration similar to last November's successful
turnout a t Washington (and lesser but still good show a t San F r a n c i s c o
and keep it peaceful in the hope of attracting even larger numbers of
tilting moderates who would be turned off by violence. Secondly, the
S W P l e a d e r s adhere (and usually have in the past) to a single i s s u e at
a time. They view America's soft spot at present as Southeast Asia
and that is the wound t h a t should get the salt. Student Mobe l e a d e r s
(really YSA'ers) have publicly conceded t h a t once they have ended t h e
w a r they'll pick another target, then another until patient p r e s s u r e
brings the nation down on the heads of those who control the means of
production. The S W P , in o r d e r to r e a c h the long-term goal, further
subscribes to the c l a s s i c United F r o n t philosophy. If l i b e r a l politicians help one whit they should be used co-opted o r not.*

T h e WSA i a at odds with SWP thinking. First at the r i s k of


isolating the antiwar movement, they r e g a r d liberal politicians as
j u s t the o t h e r s i d e of the conservative coin. They lean toward a
confrontation with violence strategy, scuttling the mass demonstration tactic becauoe they believe as do most antiwar activists outside
the echelons of SWP that past p r o t e s t o r s a r e tiring of parading and
are m o r e interested i n festival than political indoctrination and
finally, past massing of bodies has accomplished little. The WSA
watchword is impatience and they e m b r a c e a "multi-issue tactic.
-.
.Not only should America'8 Vietnam shin b e kicked (including ROTC
and m i l i t a r y r e s e a r c h ) but also, racism, repression, male chauvinism,
imperialism, ecological pollution, etc. , etc.
This major r p l i t i n the antiwar .left was underlined the following
week at Milwaukee. - A t a Strategy Action Conference staged t h e r e by
the New Mobe (who the Student Mobe calls "a bunch of generals without
a n army") s e v e r a l events o c c u r r e d among hectic debate and autodisruption (like the Cleveland meeting and all o t h e r s i n r e c e n t months,
.when petty chiefs are brought together no ?ne wants to be an Indian)
that w e r e not widely noted in the straight p r e s s . First, under the
.
inhuence of Rennie Davis, Ron Young:'and numerous other violenceprone activists, the conference (1ike)he WSA p o s t u p at Cleveland)
turned away f r o m the now t r a d i t i o n 2 mass demonstratign technique.
Among the future antiwar activities t h a t will b&'con$idered'at forthcoming plarining s e s s i o n s a r e deliberate blockage of transportation,
e l e c t r i c a l and communication s y s t e m s and-othbr a c t s of "civil disobedience'# (translated probably as police co'nfrontation). The New Mobe
is a l s o at odds with the totally unrelated Student Mobe and plans to
follow a multi-issue offensive. This philosophy is certainly a quid pro
quo deal in o r d e r to build a bigger total force f o r disruption. For the
first time, and this is the m a j o r significant point to emerge from
Milwaukee, a l a r g e and generally respectable group among American
Negroes has joined the frey, Ralph Abernathy has apparently committed
Martin King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference to the field of
antiwarism and h a s extracfed in r e t u r n New Mobe support and probably
a promise of activism in SCLC pet programs. Among t h e i s s u e s now
under attack by New Mobesters are racism, repression, equality, etc.
New Mobe l e a d e r s have further adulterated pure antiwarism by their
pledge to the National Welfare Rights Organization that they will support their demand for a minimum income for a family of four to
something in e x c e s s of $5,000 a year.

The Women's International League for P e a c e and F r e e d o m , a


pacifist group wi.th rapresentatton i n some 50 countries, and the Women''s
Division of the American Jewish Congress will initiate a national campaign on the firrt of August toward ending the w a r in Vietnam. Although
reportedly in its 55 years of u t i r t a n c e the WILPF has been influenced,
and i n s o m e chapters dominated, by communists. the organization a p p e a r s
* still under the control of slightly l e f t wing dedicated pacifists r a t h e r
than communists. The organization has been active i n legislative lobbying and social work and strongly endorsed the P o o r People'rrCampaign. The WILPF is on r e c o r d with t h r e e principal international goals:
. 1) total and universal disar-mamcnt, 2) economic and social wellbeing and protection of civil rights, and 3) the formation of a world
organization functioning democratically within the framework of law
for the settlement of international economic and social problems.

During the forth-coming campaign, women will bc asked to


r e f r a i n f r o m shopping on the first Saturday of each month a s a
dramatization of t h e i r s e r i o u s concern for pcace in Vietnam. Shoppers
will b e asked to concentrate on a list of consumer i t e m s manufactured
by m a j o r producers of w a r m a t e r i a l s , Among the manufacturers mentioned in a r e c e n t two-day meeting w e r e Westinghotye, Motor&la, Dow,.
and General Electric. A second action planned by the ladies is to work
for the election of peace candidates next November. A third action will
be to support-and participate in an international peace conference to be
held in Canada in October which Indo-Chinese women w i l l also attend. '

Additional suggestions .to emerge f r o m the recent conference


w e r e to support sons, *husbands, and b r o t h e r s who r e s i s t the d r a f t
and t h e cncouraging of women to participate actively in preventing the
Sclectivc Scrvice System from functioning. It was also suggcsted that

T h e Black Academy of ArpJ and 'Letters, founded 16 months


ai0 by 50 black o~holats,artists and authors, has announced that
t h r e e black Americans will be enrolled in the academy's newly
established Hall of Fame in September. One of those elccted to tho
Hall of Fame is the late W. E.B. DuBois. DuBois, a founder of the
NAACP, joined the. CommunisGParty in 1961 a t the age of 93. Before
his death a y e a r or so later, he had renounced his American citizenship
and had become a citizen of Ghana. Thcrformer Communist P a r t y
youth group which waa succeeded 8 months ago by the present Young
Workers Liberation League was named for Dr. DuSois.

. Dr. C. Eric Lincoln, prqsident.'of thc board of the Black Academy, h a s e x p r e s s e d considerable chagrin a t the denial of a visa for
DuBois' widow, Shirley G r a h a m DuBois, who wanted to attenddhe ceremonies. The 71 year old Mrs. DuBois, a citizen of Ghana living in Cairo,
attempted to obtain a visa to t r a v e l to A m e r i c a earlier this year. Reportedly, the Department of Juktice overruled State Department approval for

v a n among

the group of dig-

nitaries seeing Ky off at the Saigon Airport. Extensive p r e s s coverage


. has been noted in the past two weeks about the Ky visit. St was for a
tfme regarded highly doubtful that Ky would m a k e a n appearance at the
M c h t i r e rally. A t this time it seems that South Vietnam's Vice President is determined to do so. This development in America.'s pro-war
community has prompted antiwar forces to schedule counterdemonstrations
in Washington OB the same date.

..

In a r e c e n t article in W a s h i n g t ~ n ~underground
s
Quicksilver Times
(15-25 September 1970), a spokesman for the Youth International P a r t y
(Yippie) stater t h a t i f Ky shows up he w i l l be met by 100,000 "stoned

.'.

Less b i z a r r e but possibly m o r e ominous is another counterdemonstration planned f o r Ky's visit on the 3rd. On 21 September Rennie
Davi8, the radical 1eftist.spokesman for the New Mobe, was at George
Washington University (GWU) s t i r r i n g up support for a somewhat more
civilized but potentially violent and confrontational antiwar demonstration.
In attendance at the meeting a t G W U w e r e students from GWU, A m e r i c a n
University, Georgetown University and the. Uniyersity of Maryland.
Press r e p o r t s reflect that the plan supported by Davis w a s vague i n n a t u r e
and resulted in confused debate among paktieipanks. At ihi? GWU
meeting the Student Mobe at G W U proposed a m a s s i v e peaceful nonconfrontational demonstration, but the group opted for m o r e militancy a s
proposed bg Davis. Davis told the students "we m u s t d e c l a r e Ky a w a r
c r i m i n a l and demand his arrest. We will m a r c h toBether to the w a r rally
at Washington Memorial, surround Ky, and then a r r e s t him a s a war
criminal. 'I (Yippie spokesmen have also threatened to a r r e s t Ky. )
The fact that Davis of the New Mobe as well as representative8
f r o m the Student Mobe participated at the GWU gathering is of s o m e
si&ificancs i n and of itself. .These two groups which r e p r e s e n t b a s i c
differences i n American communism have been feuding since last fall
and only in r e c e n t we.eks have been showing several signs of reconciliation, at least temporarily.

Since the prcscnt plans by pro- and antiwar factions at thc


same place*on the a a m e d a t e constitute s e r i o u s and profound differences
of approach to b e r i c a n foreign policy, specifically with r e g a r d to
o u r Southeast Asian involvament, all elements'of a s e r i o u s and,
potentially bloody confrontation'are present. N o t only are m o s t elements

October militant in approach, but


n a r c o r l l a in quantity w i l l probably be present and be used.
Additionally, a ' s i z a b l e number of people c a n be expected. Since the rock
G u s i c festival season has paseed,>the Yippies will probably m u s t e r at
least 10-19,000 s t r e e t people. Although the Rennie Davis effort is
late in etarting, local colleges alone could produce many thousands of
p r o t e s t o r s . McIntire promises one half million b u t m o r e realistically
will probably a t t r a c t betwteen 50,000 and 7 0 , 0 0 0 . Vice P r e s i d e n t K y
certainly m u s t be regarded as a strong drawing c a r d for the demonstration. It should also be pointed out tbat many of the McIntire foll o w e r s & r eblue collar types, and undoubtedly many s u b s c r i b e to a
"hard' hat" mentality.

'

On 23 September, Davis and fetlow radical leftist antiwar


.leader, Prof. Sidney Peck, announced formation o f the Ad Hoc Committee to P r o t e s t the P r e s e n c e of f(y in Waihington. T h e i r plan is to
m a r c h on the 3rd f r o m the HEW building at 4th and Independence Avenue
to the Monument grounds and engage in l'civil disobedience" (a philosophy
of "militant &vi1 disobedience" as enunciated by Davis and o t h e r s s e v e r a l
m o n t h s a g o is one of the s e v e r a l s e r i o u s s t r a t e g y differences between the
New Mobe and the Trotskyite Student.Mobe who subscribe to "massive
nonviolence!':' the dropping of t h e word "militant" is probably not an
accident but r a t h e r a compromise to elicit support of lqcal Student
Mobesters; one of the other s e r i o u s s t r a t e g y problems b e h e e n the antiw a r r a d i c a l groups--that of a "one i s s u e at a time" tactic advanced by
the Trotskyites--is not at i s s u e this time-out).

..

David Ifshin, newly elected president of the.Nationa1 Student


Association (past student body president of Syracuse University where
he championed several radical c a u s e s ) announced on 23 September that
a delegation of NSAers has begun a vigil and hunger s t r i k e a t Lafayette

30 October, Madison, Wisconsin

An article recently published in i h e underground newspaper,


Kaleidoscope, dealt with a n account of the recent bombing of the Army
Mathematics R e s e a r c h Center at the University of Wisconsin. The
newspaper reported that the bombing +as- pelpetrated by a n organisation
known as -the "New Year's Gang" and that d i r e consequences would
follow if University of Wisconsin officials would not g r a n t several gang
demands. .Among the demands w e r e r e l e a s e of t h r e e Black P a n t h e r s
presently being held in Wisconsin, the abolition of ROTC on the Univers i t y of Wisconsin campus and elimination of a new curfew for women at
the uniBersity. Unless these demands are m e t , the a r t i c l e continues,
"revolutionary measures of an intensity never before s e e n in this
country will be taken by o u r cadres." Included dmong these m e a s u r e s
w e r e open w a r f a r e , kidnapping of important officials and assassination.
F u r t h e r details on the composition and political orientation of the "New
Year's Gang" a r e unknown. The entire composition of the group may
w e l l have been t h e four men presently fugitives f r o m justice and
accused of the Wisconsin bombing. The demands deadline was 30 Oct.

T h e National P e a c e Action Coalition headquartered a t Cleveland
has announced an antiwar protest for 20 American cities on 3 1 October.
The NPAC was formed as a r e s u l t of the Student Mobe conference held
at Cleveland last June. Cleveland attorney J e r r y Gordon who is the
Coalition's staff coordinator h a s stated that the 3 1 October d e m o n s t r a tions will be the l a r g e s t war protest ever. Gordon claims that the
National Alliance of P o s t a l and Federal. Employees h a s endorsed the
demonstrations as well a's the Student Press Association. Demons t i a tions a r e planncd for tire following cities: Cclumbus, Atlanta, Austin,
San F r a n c i s c o , Boston, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, El P a s o , Los Angeles,

SPECIAL INFORM&TION REPORT


Prospects for WashinEton Disruption by Black Militants , November 1970

'

The Black Panther P a r t y has scheduled the second s e i s i o n of a


constitutional convention for Washington in November (the f i r e t mession
was held at Philadelphia over Labor D a y weekend). The convention
dates a r e still not f i r m but are believed to be for a beginning either on
4 November o r 11 November and will.-.
fot several days. The site
has also not yet beep determined. The Pantherr are trying to obtain
the National Guard armory. Reportedly, Washingtoipolice are attempting to prevent the use of the a r m o r y for the event.
*

In a late September address to r e v e r a l hundred students at the


University of Maryland, Rennie Davii, leading new left spokeeman and
one of the recently convicted Chicago:conspirators, brought up the us6
of Maryland's Cole Field'Houre as a possiplp site for the Panther convention. The request has rince been consider& b$the studenbgovernment (which split 8 :7 in favor) and the ac?ministr&ion. U s e of the Cole
Field House h a s since been denied by the' student government and
university administration (in.a combined etatement) for a qumber of
valid reasons. The Panthers have not publicly expressed disappointment
and probably neither expected nor wanted a site so far removed from
the more friendly environs of Washington.

Prominent Black Panther personalities will be in town for the


convention. Huey Newton, David Hilliard, Elbert "Big Man" Howard
and W i l l i e Dawkins are expected among others. Dawkins, principal
leader of Washington activities for the Pantherr and reportedly a major
drafter of the new constitution, is presently a fugitive. Dawkins,
recently involved in a Louiriana "rhoot out, 'I is rought by police on conspiracy to riot charges.

.
.

At this date, local police expect no trouble from the anticipated


convention. The gathering ir. expected to be, in fact, a convention and
not a demonstration. The Du Pont Circle a r e a has not been noted in
underground o r radical publications a8 a possible site for black militant

. . ..-...

-.i

demonstrations, and the D.C. pdiice intelligence unit is not in passes6lon Of any information indicating this possibility. The Du Pont Circle
!.

a r e a is known as the domain of the hippies of Washington, a community characterisad a8 principally Caucasian.
Z h e r e are several disturbing factors that must, however, be
considered. It is known, for i ~ t a a c e ,that white new left radicals
embracing varied philosophier are soliciting tha allegiance of black
dissidents. At the first Panther constitutional convention session (a *
chaotic and nonproductive effort) white radicals i n attendance numbered
about 40 per cent. The percentage w i l l probably be that high in Washington. The white r8dicald extra-campa. sympathy rtronghold in
Washington would be among the "hippie'1 community, hence Du Pont
Circle cannot be completely dismiure&Se a"porrib1e white radical
inspired and led Panther demonstration site. Secondly, the Panthers
may fail to find a large and suitable meeting place. Washington police
are expecting between 20,000 and 25,000 people to attend, and radical
organizers (white o r black) have never been known to call off o r postpone
meetings over "minor" technicalities. The obvious result would be
25,000 people bent on diseent and militancy with no place to meet
except the atreeta of Was,hington.
. >

*.

'....

No other black militant groupe a r t believed to haye sufficient


strength and support in Washington to p k g e isignificant ahd/or violent
demonstration in the city at this time.
'

In summary, the'chance of a black militant demonstration of


consequence in Washington, specifically in the Du Pont Circle area in
November, is considersd unlikely.
AS additional information is developed, it will be reported.

SPECIAL INFORMATION REPORT

San Fernando Valley State Collene


Valley State, founded i n 1948 as one of the 18 schools in the
California state college r y s t e m , became newsworthy nationally in
November 1968. The incident began when a delegation of black s t u dents demanded the r e m o v e of the white f r e s h m a n football coach on
the grounds that he w a s prejudicFd. When the athletic d i r e c t o r reSwed,
the campus of some 15,000. locatjed in the upper middle-class community of Northridge, a Loe Angeles suburb, was thrown into t u r m o i l
when the a n g r y blacks m a r c h e d to the administration building and
occupied significant p a r t s of it. M e m b e r s of the faculty and administrative employees w e r e detained a g a i n s t their will and the then acting
president, Dr. Paul-Blumgren, was forced to sign a s t a t e m e n t agrceing
to a l h t ' O f student d e m h d s . Blumgren later repudiated the s t a t e m e n t
stating that i t h a d - b e e n signed under t h r e a t of violence.
S e v e r a l hundred a r r e s t s followed and the r i n g l e a d e r s w e r e
brought to trial and convicted in the fall of 1969. Most of those involved
w e r e convicted on felony c h a r g e s and s e v e r a l w e r e sentenced to t e r m s
i n prison of from 1 to 25 y e a r s . The o t h e r s w e r e given lesser s e n tences. . The trial w a s considered highly significant in legal c i r c l e s in
Los Angeles because the students had been t r i e d and convicted on felony
c h a r g e s f o r campus demonstrations. Legal o b s e r v e r s believed that t h e .
Valley State t r i a l could signify a growing crackdown a g a i n s t youthful
d i s s e n t e r s in California.

At the moment, the campus is quiet,and intelligence s o u r c e s in


Los Angeles believe it will remain BO this year. T h e r e a s o n s they
believe this, however, and the obvious political climate a t Valley State
are ominous and discour8ging. C u r r e n t information indicates a tense
and highly politicized campus. T h e c u r r e n t student government which
was elected by a political coalition of white radical, black and Mexican.
American organizations counts 17 "new left'' and "movement" activis ts
among the total of 19 m e m b e r s . The student government a t Valley State
(as on most q m e r i c a n campuses) controls the funding f o r all student

..

..
o r g a n h a i i o n s , a n i according to r reliable s o u r c e it is'becoming
increasingly evident that those. organizations not siding with the new
left are losing t h e i r funding and t h e i r c h a r t e r .

*
I

The campus is quiet compared to last y e a r because the student


government reportedly h a s the administrative and academic operations
of the school r e r i o u r l y intimidated. They have the 1egal.mcans to h a r a s s
the administration at will to accomplish t h e i r objectives, hence, no need
for violent confrontation. A member of the "movement" w a s r e c e n t l y
heard to e x p r e s s the thought that this y e a r r a d i c a l objectives c a n be
gained nonviolently.

Those groups active at Valley State are t h e Peoples' Revolution


Group (the campus political p a r t y that controls the student government),
the Black Student Union, S p d e n t s for a Democratic Society (now o n l s a
few m e m b e r s ) , the Student Revolktionary Anarchist Family, International
Workers of the World, the Social Action C o r p s , MECHA (a MexicanAmerican group), the P r o g r e s s i v e L a b o r P a r t y and the Che-Lamumba
Club ( m o r e information about C - L Club below). T h e r e is little cohesiod
among them, however; and, a s is the case nationally, they are all vying
f o r r a d i c a l leadership. v Los Angeles intelligence officials flatly state
t h a t Valley S t a t e College is the m o s t r a d i c a l college in Southern California
i n ternis of m e m b e r s h i p numbers and the ability of the old and new left to
control student activities. :
Racially, the situation is quiet but tense. Minority Atudents a r e
reportedly still fuming o v e r what they (and the American Civil L i b e r t i e s
Union) regarded as h a r s h punishment handed o u t by Judge Brandler to
Negro students for the November 1968 incident. The two whites involved
w e r e convicted on misdemeanor c h a r g e s only. (ALL 20 who w e r e s e n - -. .
tenced, incidentally," exhalusted all appeals and all s e r v e d about 6 months.'
They have now been released and reportedly s e v e r a l have returncd to
school at Valley State. ) The. BSU at Valley State'.is regarded by intelligence s o u r c e s in Los AnpeleB as the s t r o n g e s t in the United States. At
present, the BSU is reportedly a n g r y o v e r 24 r e c e n t indictments of .
t h e i r people handed down by the Lor Angeles county d i s t r i c t attorney in
,connection with campus disturbance8 l a s t year.

The student newspaper, the Sundial, is oriented to the left and


under t h e funding control of the student government. Token faculty
guidance and virtually no censorship c h a r a c t e r i z e Sundial operations.
Financial ;upport comes f r o m the general fund (student fees paid at timc

In addition to the n o r m a l c o u r s e s offered, s e v e r a l boarderline


r a d i c a l subjects are officially taught at Valley State. T w o s u c h courses
are Social Change and P r o b l e m s of C u l t u r a l Change. Additionally,
there is an "expcrimental college" on campue (using college facilities
but not college fund8) that is operated by white a n d , b l a c k radicals and
Chic8nos offering, f o r no credit, the usual ofbcat s u b j i c t s such as
Hypnosis, Yoga, Astrology, Occult Sciences, etc. Finally, offered off
campus by the Chu-Lamumba Club, are s u c h s u b j e c t s as Revolution and
Kidnapping and Hijacking. Reportedly, the as y e t unidentified instructor
of Kidnapping and Hijacking i s Cuban and believed to be'a Cuban agent.
T h e club has been infiltrated by police intelligence officers who also plan
to e n r o l l i n Kidnapping and Hijacking.

.The State of C a l i f y n i a h+s decided to r e d u c e d r a s t i c a l l y t h c s i t e


of Valley State o v e r the n-ext sadera1 y e a r s . T h e purpose for the reduction is unclear but is believed o r t e n s i b l y to be alleviation oPovercrowding
and promotion of the i m a g e of a community college. .The reduction of
admissions ha8 also caused s e r i o u s problems for the school. A y e a r ago,
the administration a g r e e d to accept 700 m i n o r i t y students e a c h y e a r to
balance the o v e r a l l e n r o l l m e n t ethnically.. Now that a d m i s s i o n s are down
SO p e t c a t , the blacks'and Chicanos a r e not willing to s u s t a i n a 50 per '
c e n t Cut in m i h o r i t y admissions.

With all of its problems, Valley State still educates many m o d e r a t e s and conservatives. Radicals t h e r e probably number between 5 and
.
IO p e r cent (very high, most o b s e r v e r s believe 2 per c e n t is about the
standard on A m e r i c a n campuses). J u s t a few day* ago, Jesse M. Unruh,
a prominent Caltfornia politician and p r e s e n t Democratic candidate f o r
governor, gave rough t r e a t m e n t to a student-heckler to the applause of:
- .
most of the 2,000 stydenta i n attendance.

In s u m m a r y , San Fernando Valley State .College is politically


troubled-and r a c i a l l y tense. T h e odds a r e that the school will g e t
through the y e a r without bombings and without violence, but no one will
bc s u r p r i s e d i f it does not m a k e it.

SPECIAL INFORMATION REPORT


Demonstrations Scheduled f o r Spring 1971

Protests of the two major antiwar coalitions are beginning


to f?cus now on plans for demonstrations in Washington eight days
apart.
. - . '.
At this p o i n t t h e National Peace Action Coalition, the antiwar
manifestation of the Socialist Workers P a r t y family,of organizations.
is firmly committed to a p r o t e s t demonstration date of 24 April. Over
the past weekend the NPAC h a s advertised in the New York Times
for funds and participants and has listed a number of prominent spons o r s . Although efforts have been and will continue to be made to
b r i n g together the NPAC with the CPUSA-influenced People's Coalition
f o r Peace and J u s t i c e , it is not believed that a feeonciliation will be
effected before the s p r i n g demonstration season. The P C P J , incidentally, i s the s u c c e s s o r organization to the National Coalit?on Against
W a r , Racism and Repression which itself was the s u c c e s s o r o r g a n i t a tion to the New Mobilization Committee. ' T h e names have changed and
t h e i r goals have multiplied, but the leadership r e m a i n s the same-Rennie Davis, Dave Dellinger, Sidney Peck, etc.
Y.-.

..

The NPAC continues to a d h e r e to the one-issue-at-a-time


s t r a t e g y demanding a n immediate withdrawal of American participation
i n the war. T h e i r house rule seems to be that any accompanying
radical demand m u s t be directly related to the w a r . The P C P J , on the
other hand, proposes a variet$ list that r e q u i r e s the Government to
"set a date" for complying to their various demands.
The demands of P C P J are c l e a r l y designed to ekicit support
from numerous factions of discontent in American society. T h e i r
demands are these: 1) that the U.S. set a date now for complete withdrawal of U.S. m i l i t a r y air, land and sea forces f r o m Vietnam, 2)
t h a t the U.S. set a date f o r guaranteed annual income for a f a m i l y of
four of $5,500 and 3) that the U.S. set a date for freeing political
.. . .
-prisoners.

two is a l s o designed to provide something for everyone. A demons t r a t i o n week is scheduled to begin on 1 May. On that date workshops,
. concerts and l e c t u r e s will be held in the nation's capital. On Sunday,
2 May, beginning at 11 a.m. t h e r e will be what P C P J spokesmen call
a "mammoth assembly'' to raise the organization's three demands.
P C P J spokesmen emphasiee that these days, 1-2 May, w i l l c o n s i s t of
legal and nonviolent demonstrations. On 3 May the P C P J will up the
ante. By Monday, 3 May, the casual demonstrators who have not been
convinced of the n e c e s s a r y c o u r s e of civil disobedience will have left
the Kity. P C P J spokesmen believe that d i r e c t action and civil disobedience which advance beyond m a r c h e s and rallies a r e now the only
viable forms of mass action to bring Xiidat ah end to the Indochinese war.
On 3-4 May a "peopic's lobby" outside Congress will- demand social.
justice and a n end to militarism. On 5 May the P C P J has called f o r a
nationwide m o r a t o r i u m on business as usual which in Washington will
include leafletting, picketing and sustained nonviolent action in the
capital city as well as a t , o t h e r locations. Plans for the r e m a i n d e r of the
week if formulated are not yet known. The P C P J does, however, plan
actions of solidarity with GIs on Armed F o r c e s Day, 16 May.

The only d e g r e e of cooperation between the two w a j o r antiwar


factiom is i n connection with a tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. from
1-4 April. The P C P J as well as the NPAC have apparently f a r m e d out
the leadership of planned King demonstrations (in commemoration of
the anniversary of his assassination) to organizations m o r e closely
associated with the King mystique. The leading organizations that have
been mentioned are the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the
National Farm Workers Organizing Committee (Caesar Chavez), and the
National Welfare Rights Organization.

Military activities i n Laos have undoubtedly added another


dimension to the sting of radical antiwar rhetoric. T h e Laos operation
will undoubtedly significantly enhance the size and anger of the demonstrations. A t this p i n t it is not believed, however, that either of the
planned demonstrations will d i s r u p t the city. The activities of 24 April
by a n organization that h a s voiced its opposition to violence and extra
legal activity should have little or no impact on 'any Government agency
or the normal functioning of the city. The May activity, on the o t h e r
hand, m a y be somewhat more troublesome, Rennie Davis, Dave
Dellinger, Michael L e r n e r , Sidney P e c k and o t h e r s have for s o m e months
-been promoting incraaeed militancy and civil disobedience as the only 2 *

remaining approach teward curing the Government perpetrated ills


of America. Those remaining in Washington, however, after the
initial May stage will probably be few i n number and readily controllable b y police author itiss.
T h e tactic of blockinn traffic into the city in early May seems
definitely out. T h i s plan which was preached throughout the Uhited
States for s e v e r a l months h a s now completely disappeared from the
rhetoric. The only time s u c h a plan is spoken of in r e c e n t weeks is
in isolated cases of little-known radical8 addressing high school and
college audiences. It ir believed that those who still propose such a
rtra$egy simply have not y e t gotten the word that the old time leftists
r e g a r d s u c h a tactic as counterproductive because it would alienate the
blue c o l l a r clas
.a- . .*.

I.

Both organizations planning s p r i n g activities, are fully commftted


to conducting their protests outside of Washington's black ghetto. Such
a pledge probably based on black militant t h r e a t s as much as on rational
discussions should futher limit both planned national demoastrations
geographically.
&
Exactly what use will be m a d e of the People's P e a c e Treaty
r e m a i n s vague. It is probable that r a d i c a l planners, though high on
the t r e a t y a.s an antiwar movement building block,' do nbt Enow t h e ' b e s t
method of utilization. As for the significance of d a t e s , the May plans
have been scheduled to fall on the f i r s t a n n i v e r s a r y of the Cambodian
incursion and the Kent State aftermath. April 24 h a s been a r b i t r a r i l y
selected and will l o s e s o m e impact as a result.

It is not belfeved at this time that the Agency will be subjected


to signi;ficant
disru@&n,but
the gates will probably be p i z e t e d- and

employees will probably be leafletted.

SPECIAL INFORMATION REPORT
Tentative Plans for Joint Demonstrations to Commemorate the Third
Anniversary of the Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. ,
Scheduled from 2-5 April 1971 at New York
Massive demonstrations principally at New York City have
been called by representatives of t h e a u t h e t n Christian L e a d e r s h i p
Conference, the National Welfare Rights Organization, the United F a r m
Workers Organizing Committee and the People's Coalition for Peace'
and J u s t i c e to c o m m e m o r a t e the King assassination. A p a r t i a l list of
the a r c h i t e c t s of e a r l y April activities includes Dr. Ralph Abernathy,
chairman of the SCLC; George WUey, executive d i r e c t o r of the NWRO;
Dave Dellinger, Vietnam Peace Parade Committee; Bob Albert, W a r
Tax Resistance; Al Evanoff, D i s t r i c t 4 5 of the Distributive Workerr .
Union (New York); Al Hubbard, Vietnam Veteratis Against the W a r ; and
Sidney Peck, P C P J . The participation of C a e s a r Chavez of the UFWOC
remains somewhat in doubt. His o r g a n z a t i o n , howeve;; has been
represented in planning for this event.

T h e principal demands of this series of demonstrations will


be a guaranteed income of $ 6 , 5 0 0 a y e a r , an end to hunger of the nation's
15 million hungry, decent jobs f o r all w o r k e r s , the right of a l l w o r k e r s
to organize for j u s t pay, the abolition of capital punishment and equal
justice for the r i c h and the jmor, quality education, the 18-year-old
vote, an end to the war now, and a total rejection and official repudiation of racism in all aspects of A m e r i c a n life.
Cordell Jackson, coordinator f o r the SCLC (at New York),
has detailed the following s c e n a r i o for this series of demonstrations:
On 2 April the third a n n i v e r s a r y of t h e King assassination
will be m a r k e d in New York by a m a r c h on City Hall at noon to demand
decent housing for welfare recipients. Other actions on 2 April will
include teach-ins and school assemblies. On Saturday, 3 April, a
"people to people talk festival'' will be staged at the C e n t r a l P a r k Band
-Shell n e a r 72nd Street. Music and entertainment will .open the f e s t i v a l ,

bo p. m.

and a "peoplels meeting" w i l l begin at about

Abcrnathy, George

Wiley, Dave Dellinger, D o r t T u r n e r of the Drug and Hospital


Workers Union, Jeanette Washington who is regional chairman of
the NWRO, and M a r y Emeny who is representing the "People's
Peace Treaty. I*

O n 4 April Abernathy r e p o r t e k y will lead a mule t r a i n to


a l a r g e church somewhere in the city (not f u r t h e r identified) w h e r e
h e will conduct rsrvices.

'

On 5 A p r i l participanta will focus t h e i r attention on the

"profiteers of w a r and poverty," in a m a r c h on W a l l Street. The


p a r a d e id scheduled to commence at 14th Street and Union Square and
continue down Broadway culminating in a r a l l y a t the . T r e a s u r y Building
at l2:30 p.m. Other participanta in this m a r c h a r e . r e p o r t e d t o be
Hoeea Williams of Operation Breadbasket (a Chicago affiliate of SCLC),
Democratic Congresswoman Bella Abzug, and a representative f r o m
the UFWOC. Reportedly, the principal organizatione for these four
days of actions acrose the nation will be joined b y groups of t r a d e
unions, peace groups,' Negro, Mexican-American and P u e r t o Rican
liberation groups, women's organizations ,-and c'ivjl rights groups.
Although demonstrations will take place in other p a r t s gf the country,
specific details are s p a r s e . The principal action'is defi'nikly planned
for New York City where the principal l e a d e r s of all participating groups
will be found on t h i s weekend. Planned ekents f o r New York should d r a w
large numbers of people, m o s t l y Negroes and young radical whites.
F r o m p r e s s coverage c a r r i e d recently in the Daily World, i t a p p e a r s
that this event is fully endorsed and probably supported by the CPUSA.
It additionally ha6 been reported that financial a s s i s t a n c e has come
f r o m the P C P J .
'

. Disruptions will probably o c c u r on Monday the Sth, but


violence does not appear to be on the schedule and probably will not
occur.

political party, that could eventually e x e r c i s e ballot box strength.


Because of their basic differences (both' philosophically and tac tieally),
any p r e t e n s e a t unity m u s t be r e g a r d e d as shaky at best.

The PCPJ and the NPAC have agreed to e n d o r s e and support the
following three a n t i w a r demonstrations. F r o m August 6 - 9 b d h groups
will s t a g e local demonstrations throughout Lhe United States (principally
i n the s e v e r a l l a r g e s t American cities) based on the theme of American
perpetration of A s i a n genocide. The PCPJ additionally will d e m o n s t r a t e
during this period f o r the r e l e a s e of what they r e g a r d as black political
p r i s o n e r s i n the U. S. A. Since any demonstration not d i r e c t l y w a r related is c o n t r a r y to the ideological concepts of the NPAC, that organization will not support p r o t e s t s directed toward the black political p r i s o n e r i s s u e . Yet another p r o t e s t t a r g e t during this period will be atomic
testing and w i l l probably be supported to s o m e extent by both m a j o r groups.

The second date on which the PCPJ and the NPAC will join f o r c e s

is October 13 for a nationwide m o r a t o r i u m on business as usual in as


many communities a c r o s s the country a s antiwar radicals and a g i t a t o r s
a r e able to organize. Moratorium activities will endeavor to'e n c o m p a s s
college Campuses, and PCPJ l e a d e r s hav? employed the t e r m "militant
action'' i n connection with activities planned on 13 October. As f o r the
October 13 date, it should be noted that a t - a recent Communist P a r t y
USA conference in New York, the CP General S e c r e t a r y , Gus Hall,
s t r e s s e d the October 13 date o v e r and above pll o t k r scheduled s u m m e r /
fall activities. T h e idea of a m o r a t o r i u m on business as usual h a s been
tried by antiwar a c t i v i s t s i n the p a s t and has always resulted in d i s m a l
failure. It can be anticipated on October 13 ( a Wednesday), that e f f o r t s
by activists to halt the economy w i l l be no
past.

The third date on which both groups have agreed to cooperate i s


November 6.. On this date principally under the guidance and control
of Lhc NPAC, a series of regional m a s s i v e antiwar demonstrations in
the s t r e e t s are scfieduled. So f a r , 15 cities have been identified by the
NPAC. They a r e New York, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver,
De tr6it, Houston o r Austin, Lo8 Angeles, Minneapolis,
Philadelpbia, San FJancisco, Seattle, Tampa, and Washingt on. F rotii
planning to date, i t would appear that the NPAC intends fer November 6 .
to be a c a r b o n cofiy of l a s t April 24 a t Washington D. C. It i s believed .
that this activity on the sixth will encourage little actual ass.istance f r o m

that a single l a r g e r demonstration would have. The organization i s

antiwar movement. At p r e s e n t this tactic does no1 a p p e a r to offer the

hope to accomplish i n November. As f o r the P C P J , on 6 November their
efforts will probably be centered i n Washington D.C. where they a r e now

Aside from the above three demonstration d a t e s , both organizations


have scheduled activities independantly. The NPAC in their nalional
meeting i n New York City in e a r l y July, designated 2 5 October a s a day
of solidarity with Vietnam veterans. Their demonstration plans f o r that
date, if any, a r e so f a r unknown, but i t is not believed that the NPAC
will a t t e m p t to m u s t e r a significant complement of d e m o n s t r a t o r s any.

2 5 October through 5 November a s National P e a c e Action Weekk, but once
again their demonstration plans a r e nebulous and indefinite except for a
national studeqt s t r i k e that the NPAC i s prdmoting-for 3 Nuveinber.
Additional plans of the'NPAC will probably evolve i n coming w e e k s . They

SPECIAL I&FORMATION REPORT

Radical Left-wing Direction f o r 1972


-:

Left-wing activists undoubtedly prompted b y r e c e n t f a i l u r e s in

the technique of mars p r o t e s t demonetrations have launched a'new approach

to r a d i c a l i e m which a p p e a r s a transition toward political orthodoxy,

b e c a m e direnchanted with t h e violence and militancy propounded by the


remaining feuding factions of SDS. A number of added factors have played ,-,
a role in what now a p p e a r s to be the radical e t r a t e g y for 1972 and perhapr
beyond. The changing &nor of c a m p u r e s across the nation, tha winding
*$!
down of the w a r , the changes in the selective s e r v i c e rry~drn,and the
.%.j
nation!'a p i e r e n t e c o n o m k crunch are all f a c t o r s in the new left shift to
-an action s t r a t k g y m o r e acceptable to the sympathetic masse8 believed
to be abroad crying out for rational leadership.

Shortly after the May Day demonstratione which attempted to *


shutdown Washington, a group of left-wing activirts, principally forme
SDS'ers, began the spade work f o r the formation of a r a d i c a l political
p a r t y that would provide le8der8hip to what left-wing spokeemen belie
. to be 20 p e r c e n t of the A m e r i c a n papulation. It-should be noted that ia
h e r critique of May Day activities in Warhington, Mm. Binh, the V b t c

negotiator in Paris, encouraged the formation of s u c h 8 political party
in the United S@ter. Under the principal l e a d e r s h i p of Staughton Lynd

After the collapse of SDS in Chicago i n t h e - s u m m e r of 1969, many radicals

o t h e r s operated on the p r e m i r e that the main impediment to effective


political development ir the left itself, which h a s made itself incr;asingly
i r r e l e v a n t and unresponrive 8t 8 t h e when most people are atraining
to h e a r a Coherent accouat of the crises they experience in t h e i r lives.

It w a s the belief of Lynd, L e r n e r and o t h e r s that many of the


major new left doctriner needed new thinking, organizing, and practice
to alter the disintegration of the past two y e a r r . N A M and ita founders
w i l l , during 1972, reject what they r e g 8 r d ar errors of the past. These
e r r o r s include the m i r u r e and overglorification of the "third world" and
its revolutionary rtruggler. N A M will also r e j e c t t h e p a s t unwillingness
to launch a s e r i o u s mocialirt anslyair of a n t i - i m p e r i a l i s m and the continuing s t r u g g l e against a n economic rye t a m which p e r m i t s imperialism
to function. NAM l e a d e r r propore to a l t e r the glorification of spontaneity
(principle of "participatory democracyt8)and the f a i l u r e to undertake 8
meaningful rcientific atudy of the American eociety.

NAM, 8ccording to principal spokermen, will reject the adoption


of militancy as the r u b r t a n c r r a t h e r than the form of movement politics.'
Inwardly, N A M will endt8-r to t r a n r f o r m rociety r a t h e r &an fust the
political 10,'t (a criticirm.of p a r t radical infighting) and will reject the notion that leaderqhip ir illegitimate elitism.

ills in political leadership across a broad spectrum. A successful petition campaign, the vcterans believe, would illustrate a broad-bascd opposition to the Republicans
convening in San Diego as oppased t o the relatively small number of
militant fringe radicals'who disruptSc!aChicago at the Democratic Convcntion
in 1968. The veterans further believe that a demonstrated broad-based
opposition would shift t h e blame for disruptions and inconveniences during
the convention ftom the militants to President Nixon and the Republicans.
-The Vietnam Veterans Against the War (which claims a nicmbership
of 2 0 , 0 0 0 m.embers nationally) will hold an executive meeting from 7-10
April at Houston where additionalplans for San Dikgo will be made. The
executive W e t i n g will also select a delegation which the veterans plan to
send to Hanoi in late s p r i n g or early summer. The purpose of the planned
Hanoi trip, i f it involves objectives other than propaganda and publicity,
is unknown at this time. Far additional details of activities planned by the
VVAW' see calendar of forthcoming activities.

T h e P e o p l e s P a r t y (a coalition of peace groups including


P e a c e Xnd F r e e d o m P a r t y and the New P a r t y ) will hold i t s national
nominating convention a few days after the c l o s e of the D e m o c r a t i c
National Convention in mid- July. The-peoples P a r t y h a s nominated
Dr. Benjamin Spock, p e d i a t r i c i a n a n d peace a c t i v i s t , as a stand-in
p r e s i d e n t i a l candidate a n d J u l i u s Hobson, f o r m e r Washington. D. C .
School Board p r e s i d e n t as vice president, pending a convention d e cision. The PP has four s i t e s u n d e r c o n s i d e r a t i o n f o r t h i s s u m m e r ' s
national convention and they a r e Kansas City, Miami, St. Louis,
and San Diego. Bob Kunst conventidn c o o r d i n a t o r h a s r e c o m m e n d e d
M i a m i but t h e r e a r e s e v e r a l political and logical c o n s i d e r a t i o n s
which favor a St. Louis convention. Kunst.has based his a r g u m e n t
on the following f o u r assumptions: Disillusioned, d e l e g a t e s will walk
out of the Democratic Convention and join the PP Convention: the
s t r e e t people d e m o n s t r a t i n g in M i a m i w i l l attend the PP Convention:
one o r m o r e u n s u c c e s s f u l candidates will offer to be the PP candidate
and: m e m b e r s of the p r e s s &ill s t a y in Miami t o c o v e r t h e PP Convention;
T h e a d hoc c o m m i t t e e f o r a St. Louis convention h a s taken
i s s u e with Ktmst's a r g u m e n t s . T h i s c o m m i t t e e f e e l s that t h e r e is no
r e a s o n to expect a m a s s ' d e f e c t i o n of d e m o c r a t i c delegates. In 1968
when the New P a r t y m a d e a n effort to r e c r u i t delegates to h e l p f o r m
a fourth p a r t y one delegate a c t u a l l y l e n t support. On Kunst's s e c o n d
point, the c o m m i t t e e does not f o r e s e e the street people being
financially a b l e to s t a y an additional four o r five days i n Miami. A
d e m o c r a t seeking the PP nomination would have to a g r e e to hclp
build a f o u r t h p a r t y to s u p p o r t the platform which the c o m m i t t e e
docs not f o r e s e e . With r c f e r e n c e to the p r c s s , thc c o m m i t t c e
bslicvcs the p r c s s will c o v s r the PP Convcntian only i f i t m e r i t s
national attention.

St. Louis allegedly has offered facilities for the PP Convention. Many s t a t e r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s have indicated they will not c o m e
to.Miami and possibly this could r e s u l t i n splitting the PP down the
middle.

conference d r e w m o r e than 300 persons--repre'sentatives of c h u r c h e s ,
human r i g h t s organizations, labor unions and individuals "hung up"
. 0: Africa. The stated purpose of the conference was t o explore
w a y s in which concerned p e r s o n s and groups in t h i s country could
provide support of v a r i o u s kinds f o r African liberation movements.
T h e committee supported the April 21st r a l l y at t h e P o r t u g u e s e
Embaesy i n Washington, D. C. .protesting the bombing of Tanzanian
t e r r i t o r y . J u s t recently ALDCC supported the Pan-African Liberation
Council and the Harvard-Radcliffe Afro-Student Association ( p r o . African liberation groups) in their effort to - p r e s s u r e H a r v a r d University
into divesting itself of its $21 million in Gulf O i l stock ( l a r g e investments
in P o r t b g u e s e Angola).
Much of the financial and logistie81 support for the African
Liberation Day Coordin'ating Committee is coming f r o m church
s o u r c e s by way of the Interreligious Foundation for Community
Organization. IFCO was set up five y e a r q a g o in the wake of the
Detroit and Newark r i o t s t o help c h u r c h e s put t h e i r money w h e r e
t h e i r resolutions were.
a-

With the r e c e n t decline of c h u r c h income and a noticeable


white backlash within some denominations,. LFCO s e e k s t o continue
a s a bridge (though increasingly f r a g i l e ) betweeq minority groups
. and i t s supporting white denominations.
On 15 March, a non-tax exempt spinoff organization, IFCO
Action, w a s f o r m e d with the avowed purpose of attempting to influence
legislation and e f f e c t social change. Support of the African liberation
struggle is one of its top p r i o r i t i e s . It should be noted that IFCO Action
was involved in the unsuccessful attempt to prevent the unloading of
the Rhodesian c h r o m e in Burnside, La., on 20 March 1972.

The African liberation movement is an i s s u e that lends itself


well to the unification of the black community in A m e r i c a . If the
movement c a n entice antiwar advocates, t h e new left, and "progressive"
movements t o play a more active r o l e in supporting t h e i r c a u s e , the
Iiberationists will bc far down the r o a d t o creating an utopian Africa'
solcly for black people.

attempting to arrange' coordinated activities that will have I2roa.d appeal
a i d contain a variety of issu.es and tactics with which the various
c_lroupsc;.zn find identity. To accomplish this end, it appears MCC has
implemented the following three strategies: First, it is exploiting the
participation of well-known personalities who are not identified with any
particular group, sucli as Da.ni21 Eerrigan, the radical priest, 3.nd
Jane Foiida the antiwar celebrity; secondly: it h a s designed a broad
"Sceilario" of events to provide continuity for Uie various groups involved; an-d third, it is continuing its rather novel appron.ch of entertaining arid amusing tJlc elderly citizens of Miami Beach which gained widespread publicity during the '72 Democratic_Convenlion.

SITUATION INFORMATION REPORT


The militant Cleaver faction of the Black Panther Party appears
to be. decaying while the non-militant Newton-Seale faction undergaes a
rebirth.
The Cleaver faction or International Section of the RPP was
established in Algeria in September 1969, under the leadership of
Eldridge Cleaver. Cleaver has been living in self-imposed exile to
avoid imprisonment in the United Stakes for a parole violation infraction.
fi9f IN G ??3
2 4f.f 2 11, u t
In 1969, Cleaver had been welcomed in Algeria as a revolutiona.ry
hero after jumping bail and evading arrest in the U. S. on charges arising
from a 1068 Panther shootout in Oakland, California. The government
of President Houari Eoumedienne set him up in a white stucco villa in
the diplomatic suburb of El Eiar and grant.ed h i m a n allowance of $500
TI I W
a month.
*.

/,!bp-

The government of Algeria h a s put up with its somewhat difficult


guest until shortly after the 31 July hijacking of a Delta Airlines jet by
three men and two women connected with Cleaver's Afro-American
Liberation Army, the international a r m of the Elack Panther Party.
Flight 841 was skyjacked to Algeria for $1,000,000 which has since been
returned to the U. S. airline by the Eoumedienne regime. The Algerian
government showed no intention of letting the Panthers get their hands
on the Delta ransom? In fact, after an open letter to Eoumedienne written by Cleaver on 2 August, the government of Algeria placed restrictions on the movements of the Black Panther exile colony, a s well a s *
placing under house arrest, all radicals who have hijxcked a i r l i n e r s

Last week the villa was empty and Cleaver was gone. In New York
City,. Bernice Jones, communications secretary for the faction's New
York office, charged that Algeria has been making "reactionary moves"
and hinted that Cleaver and his groups would move to one of the more

Kathleen Cleaver, wife of fugitive Eldridge Cleaver, announced


in a news conference in Compton, California on 19 August '72 that her
husband was a "political prisoner" in Algeria. Mrs. Cleaver stated
that her husband is no longer safe in Algeria since hisslife has been
threatened by people "representing interests marshalled by the Central
Intelliqence Agency. '' Later in the day during a radio interview in San .
Francisco, she announced that her purpose in the United States is to
organize a legal-political-religious-financial c a m p i g n to aid the return
of her husband to this country without his being immediately subjected
to incarceration as 3. parole violatot!' She stated that Eldridge Cleaver
is willing to face charges stemming from a 1968 shootout with the Oakland
Police 'Department.

In order to facilitate his return to the U. S. , the Cleaver faction


ha.s even gone to the extent of applying for admission oL a new nation,

Today, Mrs. Huggins is an elected member of the Berkeley Community

With political activity in the' Sari Francisco Bay area serving as


a model for other chapters, the Fbnthers are not only conducting voter
education and registration drives but are also forming political coalitions
with other organizations, such ps civil rights and community group,
taking their image change before establishment organizations, such as
the Jaycees, and-making political endorsements of candidates they can
. support. A s an example, Uie E P P endorsed Rep. Shirley Chisholm,
Democrat of Brooklyn, for President and contributed $1,000 to her
p'. y 7 - AJ C'WI-?Icampaign.

While violent confrontation bebmien Panthers and the police has


declined appreciably, the organizakion's reputation as a group fully
capable of extreme violence persists. This sterotyped reputation and
the hidden fear and power it represents lends itself well to the party's
entry into the legitimate image structure field of politics and persuasion.
The image of respectability, the undertone of fear and violence, and
the public programs to "take care df'their people'' all faintly resemble
the early days of the so-called American Mafia. We could very well be
witnessing the birth of Mafia-type activities designed to gain control of
the black ghetto communities where sanctuaries for long-range .revolu'-'!z ,! ...

SITUATION INFORMATION REPORT


c
I

The American Civil Liberties Union has recently petitioned the


highest court in theland on behal of Vincent L. Marchetti, a former
Central Intelligence Aqency official who wants to publish a book exposing
past apd current classified CIA operations. The ramifications and consequences of an ACLU victory in this case could be adverse to the
security interests of the Intelligence Cbmmuni ty .

F o r the information of t h e reader, the American Civil Liberties


Union (ACLU) was founded in 1920 by Roger Ealdwin, a former conscientious o6jector and ex- convict. The organization's national headquarters
was established in New York City and has remained there since its creation.
e

.'

Ealdwin's philosophy s e t the stage for future development of the


ATLU organization. When Ealdwin first organized t!ie Union, he was
hoad of the civil liberties hureau of the American Union Against Mili.
tarism, a pacifist organization which opposed U. S. ontrv into World
War I. He believed in civil liberties, not a s an'end in thenselves, but
as a means to an end. In a letter to the New York Tiincs in 1933, Baldwin
clarified his viewpoint on the above issue--"Civil liberties like democracy are useful only as tools for social change. Mr. Baldwin remained
a s Executive Director of ACLU from 1920 until 1950.
During its first few years the organization consisted of a conglomeration of lawyers, social workers, liberal reformers and radicals.
Among them were Jim Addams, John Dewey, Felix Frankfurter, Norman
Thomas and William Z. Foster, later chairman of the American Communist Party..

From the s t a r t , thr, ACLU constit~it.iondw:lar*ed that. i t s purpcrsc?


was to llniaintain and advance civil liborkies, incliidinq thv ft-wloms of
associations, press, rcliyion, and spwch

ACTJJ's early work was largely directed at combatting the depqrtation of aliens for their radical beliefs; opposing attacks on tlic
'

rights of the Industrial Workers of the World (a cited left-vring anarchist


labor group) and guaranteeing trade unions the right to organize and
hold meetings.

In'l940, after the HitlepStalin Pact, the ACLU adopted an


"antitotalitarian" resolution, barring from its board and staff anyone
(including C o m m h i s t s and Fascists) who supported totalitarian dictatorship in any country. (The resolution w a s rescinded in 1967)
0

*During the Second World War, ACLU defended conscientious


objectors, and pro!ested the internment .of Japanese-A mericans. In the
~O'S,it battled the alleged excesses of'the federal government's security
program.
Today the ACLU is thriving. Its current tot21 national membership
approximates 180,000 which is more than double the 85,000 who belonged
just five years ago. Nationwide, th,e, ACLU has about 5,000 volunteer
attorneys, including 300 in the WashingLon, D.C. area., and they need
more. Last year the organization spent $5 million and handled approximately 4,000 cases. .
I

As a result of its efforts over the past few y e p r s , the rights of


criminal defendants have been expanded ( m d the-difficulties of prosecutors have increased); government wiretapping h a s been curtailed

(causing the Justice Department to drop several of its pending cases);


welfare regulations have been liberalized (and the number of welfare
cases IRS increased); homosexuals have gained recognition and the
provision of th'e Hatch A c t that bars federal employees from taking part
in partisan political campaigns has been attacked.
Locally the range of A C L U s activities h a s also been broad:
prison reform in Virginia; school spending equalization in Washington
(the Hobson case); limiting the police (Washington, D. C. ) from making
wide-scale arrests'under the disorderly condw t 2nd vn.grancy laws
(1"l May Day demonstra.tion D. C. ); and securing governmert security
clearances for homosexuals.

Overall, ACLIU nowJhas approxiimtely 159 qc1 ive cir-c,.> i n the


Washington, D.C. area
nearly double the number it had two years ago.

The.imwct of the group, largely through succPssful lawsuits,


has g r w n enormously. After the V. S. Go-,-:?:iiincnt., ACL,U has become

SITUATION INFORMATION REPORT


Campus unrest is definitely in the air again. The antiwar
sentiment h a s been replaced by the teachers' drive for security and the
students' desire to influence policy decisions.

In recent weeks, elections havebeen held among faculty on a


number of American campuses to determine whether professors
wanted a collective bargaining unit to deal with the administration.
Fordham, Michigan State, Temple, Rhode Island, and Hawaii were
among the universities where faculty were asked to decide. In some
cases the vote was clearly against union representation, in others the
outcome either favored a particular. union o r w a s .indecisive, necessitating runoff elections now pending.

The trend is unmistakable. The state university systems of


New York, Rhode Island, Mew Jersey, md Fennsylvania have collective bargaining. Most Massachusetts sta!e colleges and a great many
.two-year community colleges are in the union fold.
The upsurge in collective bargaininq dates from 1068 when an
estimated 10,000 teachers in higher education were covered by such
contracts. Today, some 100,000 faculty have this status, about oneeighth of the national total, and it is rising. This development h a s
surprised many college administrators and trustees.
Faculty members usually have a great deal of freedom and
authority in their work. They and their department heads largely
control what is tauqlit and how, and they have a strong voice in
campus affairs. Once given tenure (normally after seven years),

security. In addition,
their income has been rising. While salaries are not comparable
tdthose of executives ih industry or government, they are substantial. .
Furthermore, fa.culty members often augment their paychecks by
writing for publications, serving as consultants o r addressing meetings..

they ate virtually guwanteed lifelong job

0.

Since pay.and job security do not appear on the surface to be


the burnin3 issues, why the campus agitation? The fact is that times
. have changed. Thesituation described above is less true than formerly
for many faculty, and it hardly applies to the burgeoning numbers of
instructors in community colleges. Full professors, well-established
and with the shield of tenure. are not pFone to support collective bargaining, but their colleagues with lower status often feel a need for the
protection which unionization seems to offer.
Competing for faculty favor are three organizations: the
American Association of University Professors (AAUP), the National
Education Association (NEA), and the American Federation of
Teachers ( A F T ) , an AFL-CIO union.
The A F T made the initial effort to organize teachers in the
early 1~160's
in the New York City schools. The communist-influenced
. AFT has a history of supprting leflist. muses dating back to the early
1YSO's. More recently, the leftist union h a s been actively organizing
faculty in community colleges across the nation.

T!re MEA. kcst known as a professional associalion of school


teachers and administrators, announced this year a t its national
convention an all-out drive to unionize U. S. college faculty. It should
be noted, that the formation of a National Coalition or Teacher Unity
was announced on 11 December 1972 by lea.ders of the AFT union and a
400,000 member branch of the NEA union.
Full merger of the NEA and the AFT foundered last June when
NEA voted to stay out of any affiliation with a n AFLPCIO union.

Marge Eeach, president of Ute National Council of Urban

Education Associations, made up of 150 NEA loca.ls, advised that


.the new Coalition W i l l work for a NEA-AFT -merger "within the
next two o r three years.
AAUP, the long-established professional organization of the

nation's faculty; has countered-by becoming more aggressive in the


collective bargaining fray.

.:b,..
.; -e

What will come of all this? There s e e m s little doubt that a


new era is coming to the American college campus. In the immediate
future, this w i l l materialize as a time of unsettled relations and
uneasiness as administrators, faculty-and students jockey for power
positions.

Students fa-ced with a loss of recently acquired gains in


curriculum selection and policy determination are turning toward the
collective bargaining process to maintain their position of power.
The National Student Association which has produced such leadership

"BLACK

SEPTEMBER"

The 5 September 1872 massacre,of 11 Israeli Olympic team


members in Munich; the 28 November"I97l assassination of Jordanian
Premier Wasfi Tal; the worldwide letter bomb conspitacy; and the .
recent 29 October 1972 hijacking of a Lufthansa 727 jet airliner, engineered to free three Elack September guerrillas held by West German
authorities in connection with the Munich massacre a l l these incidents
pose & acute question as to what c a 0 . b done to combat the rise in international terrorism posed by the Black SeptemUer organbation. Printed
below in its id1text is an article analyzing the background of the recent
outburst of violence by the Elack Septembef. group and allied fedayeen
revolutionists written by Ibrahim Saleh fiagar, an exceptionally wellinformed author based in Rome, Italy.

Behind Black SeDtember Ibrahim Sal& Hagar


A l l the indications are that Palestinian terrorist organizations,
which have conducted a desperate but on the whole futile struggle against
the State of Israel for the last twenty years, stand at a crossroads in
their history. They m a y turn their attention increasingly to the outside
world, in particular Europe, and possibly later on, other continents.
In the latter event, all pretense of concentrating on 'lmilitary'l targets
will go, and the whole western world w i l l find itself involved in a deadly
dangerous confrontation with Palestinian Arab terrorism.
Of crucial importance in the phase of 'diffused' terrorism which
seems to be beginning is an organization calling itself 'Jihaz al Rasd'

--

RASD for short, or "Operation Network. 'I This organization, which has
been built up in its present form over the past three years, has been

. .

'

half1' of the "FatahII movement led by


Yassir Arafat and constituting by far the largest of the dozen or so
Palestinian A r a b terrorist groups. The RASD controls the "Black
September" activist group, which has carried out numerous acts of
. banditry, sabotage and murder. Black September has, in turn, links
with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and
other groups affiliated with Fatah. A l l of these groups, agafn, are linked
with the ostensibly "respectable" Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
-A West German Secret service report has shown that Fabh, PF'LP and
other activist delegates have sea& on the thirteen-man Executive Committee of the PLO.
deaoribed oc the "unseen other

RASD and Black September, between them, organized the hijacking of the Sabena airliner on May 8, 1972, the murder of the Jordanian
Prime Muster, Wasfi Tal, in Cairo on November 28, lQn,and the
blowing up of the Rotterdam oil refinery on March 16, 197l. They wsre
almost certainly responsible for the attempted murder of the Jordanian
Ambassador in London, Mr. Zaid al Rifai, on December 15, 197l, for
the attempted destruction of an El A1 airliner on the Rome-Tel Aviv run
on August 16, 1972, and for the bloG6g up of part of the Trieste oil .
refinery later in the same month. It seems probable that RASD and
Black September collaborated with the PFLP in the hiring of the trained
Japanese murderers who killed twenty-segen civilians and wounded
. seventy-eight more in the Lod A i r p o r t nhassacre of May 36; 1972.
RASD itself began operations in the early 1960's primarily as an
intelligence organization, to gain information about Israel and screen
recruits for the Fatah. Early RASD members were trained by the
Egyptian Intelligence Service, which has drawn heavily in the past on
ex-members of the Nazi SS for its expertise. In the last three years
RASD has changed its character into something approaching an Arab
Mafia. It has carried out killings and kidnappings for money, and has
built up financial reserves in Italy, West Germany and Switzerland
totalling an estimated $100 million. It has financed large-scale smuggrown in
gling operations, the most intriguing being that of hashish
Lebanon and dispatched in half-kilo packages, gaily decorated with the
picture of an Arab commando holding his machinegun at the ready. It
has recruited agents in Europe and supplied them with forged papers,
and has established close working relations with "indigenous" terrorist
gangs in European countries, particularly West Germany and Italy.

RASD has its own @kction


cellsI'.in half a dozen European COWtries and may already be seeking to establish them in the New World. .
. European members of these cells have-been trained very often in Syria;
their special d u e to RASD is their locat knowledge and the fact that they
are not so easlly identifiable as Arabs. The action cells have been responsible for the extensive stockpiliris of weapons, but their purchsse
has been carried out by much more "respectablenelements of society.
.Thus in Rome, which is becoming RAD'Smah centre fn Europe,
contact is fostered through the Dfplomat8 Club, owned by RASD. Only
at the end of August did the Itallan police learn of the liaison between
Arab diplomats and Palestinian terrorists in Rome.

There is one interesting d i f f e d e between RASD cooperation


with indigenuous terrorist groups in West Germany and Italy. In West
Germany, contact has been maintained exclusively with leftist grou6 of
a radical kind, chief among them the so-called ''Eaader-Meinhoff gang.
In Italy, RASD and other Palestinian organizations have Unks with the
neo-fascist Right as well as the Left. The Irish Republic is another

".

interesting case; there is close uaflsb'n in the field of propaganda between


the Palesthians, the IRA and the embryonic Irish Communist Party,
but entirely separate contact exists between Am6 offices and Anglo-Irish
conservatives appakently of a relatively harmless nature so far.
0-

The titular head of RASD is Abu Hasan, the son of a Palestinian


sheikh Wed by the Israelis in 1948. Eut the real leaders of the organization are members of the Husseini family, who produced Haj Amin, the
last Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, and a supporter of the Germans during
. the war who advised the Nazis not to spare Jewish children in their plan
to exterminate European Jewry. Three members of the Husseini family
have high posts in RASD, in addition, several members of Fatah's
political bureau are related by family or by marriage.
.

There is a further feudal connection between Fatah and the


Husseini clan; many of the Palestinian terrorist commandos have been
recruited as a result of having been labourers, and sons of labourers,
on Husseini land. RASD, even more than Fatah, has been built up on
the basis of a "family elite, '' which is in no way unusual in the Arab
world but is common to other international organhations like the Mafia
or Cosa Nostra. One member of the Husseini family is RASD's technical
adviser, responsible for murder and sabotage operations; another is

out Wasfi Tal's assassination.

The emergence of RASD as'a real force in Palestinian terrorism


. is doubly significant i
n that it has come at a time when the protagonists
of more orthodox armed conflict against Israel are in a state of despair.
The bloody and ruthless battles fought against the terrorists by King
Hussein's Jordanian army a t the end of 1970 and in the spring of 1971
'forced them to uhthdraw into the Lebanon and Syria. Neither of these
countries is prepared to allow terrorists to operate without restriction
across their frontiers with Israel, but there are obvious differences
in the terrorist positions in the two countries.
..

In Lebanon there are about 2,660terrorists in the Arkoub area,


known as ''F'atahlandll and close to Israel's northeastern border. There
are another 3, OOO on the Lebanese-Syrian frontier d o s e to Mount
Hermon. Under the December 1969 Cairo agreement they were allowed *
to raid into Israel from secure bases in Lebanon, as long as they did not
fire across the frontier and provoke,Israeli counter-action. The terrorists
did not keep to the terms of this agreement, artd heavy Israeli reprisal
raids have now led to the Lebanese government obtaining a promise of
no further military action, at least until after the summer ends. In
return, the terrorists are allowed to maintain close contact in Beirut
with Arab offices, planning staffs and propaganda organs.
S p i a has attached the Palestinian activists to its own armed
forces and has grouped them in the para-military "Saiqa'' organization.
Armed and controlled from Damascus, Saiqa has an estimated strength
of 15,000 to 20,OOO men. Saiqa is linked with other groups through the
Palestine Armed Struggle Command (PAX), in which Arafat plays a
leading role and which has in the past tried unavailingly to coordinate
overall terrorist activity.
'

Paradoxically, the efforts of the terrorists to re-group in


Lebanon and Syria would, if successful, have the effect of diminishing
the threat posed to the western world by RASD, Black September and
other murder gangs. Successful regrouping would mean that the struggle against Israel would be carried on in the Middle East itself. Yet the
odds must be against a "terrorist renaissance" on Israel's northern and
north-eastern borders. Israel's frontier with Lebanon is comparatively
short and easy to defend, and the Lebanese authorities will continue to
discourage persistant shelling across the frontier which brings swift

and heavy retribution. And no Syrian government is likely to be foolish


enough to encourage large-scale terrorist activity against an Israeli
enemy which is only two hours' drive from the gates of Damascus.

It has been estimated that 30,000 to 50,000 Palestinians have


been given military training, and elite squads have received additional
training for sabotage and murder operations. While King Hussein of
Jordan appears to be thinkhg more in terms of a negotiated peace with
'Israel, and President Sadat of Egypt has ejected his Soviet advisers,
technicians and airmen and thus diminished his effective military striking power, the Palestinian Arabs are increasingly isolated and unhappy
with the "no-war-no-peacen situation. The civilised world, a t the same
time, is becoming more and more angered by sabotage and hijacking
operations, and by brutal and murderoik attacks on harmless civilians.
Yet Rome and Eonn are already threatened by mounting terrorist activity;
tomorrow it may be the turn of London and other western capitals.

SITUATION INFORMATION REPORT

On& ag& the dying coas of the U. S. antiwar movement


have been stirred by the resumption of widespread bombing in
North Vietnam beginning on/or about 18 December 1972.
The nation's two largest antiww groups, the National Peace
Action Coalition (NPAC),a tightly dKciplined group run in considerable part by Trotskyist cadremen of the Socialist Workers Party;
and the PGople's Coalition for Peace and Justice (FCPJ), a looser
coalition of free-wheeling radicals and unaligned groups, announced
on 5 January 73 that they were linking forces to mount a mass
Inaugural Day Demonstration in Wmhington, D. C. to demand a total
withdrawal of all American forces from Indochina.

Riding the crest of what they believe to be a new wave of


anti-Nixon sentiment, N P A C D C P J organizers expect -'itbusandst'
tc turnout. A joint NPAC/PCPJ communique calls for "an inauguration of conscience, not confrontation. I'
t

NPAC and PCPJ, jointly and separately, have brought large


antiwar crowds to Washington in the past (175, OOO to 200,OOO @
April 1071), but the possibility of a mass mobilization for the 1973
Inaugural seems remote for the. following reasons: (1) the continued impasse in the Paris peace talks appears to have been
resolved, (2) the President halted all bombing of the North Vietnamese on 15 January 1973, (3) the coalitions have not had suf-#
ficient time-to properly organize their constituents, (4) the organizations do not have the money to finance a massive demonstration,
and (5) after nine years of protesting U. S. involvement in Vietnam
the issue has lost some of i t s appeal.

A1though a mass mobilization of radicals is unlikely, there

are a number of groups which could cause civil disturbances during


the 1973 Inaugural festivities: the radical Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS), a front group of the Progressive Labor Party, whose
members spearheaded some of the most militant street actions
during the 1972 political conventions; the Youth Against War and
Fascism (YAWF), a militant h d violence-prone communist front
group, with support from active East Coast chapters could cause
trouble; the militant "Zippiell faction of the Youth lnternationd
Party (Yippies); the Attica Erigade (AB),self-described as a student-based anti-imperialistic organization; and finally, the Vietnam
Veterans Against the War (VVAW), a militant antiwar organization
whose presence was felt during the 1992 Miami conventions.
Security precautions for the 1973 Inauguration are the tightest ever. A special "Public Safety Committee" has been organized
to conduct and coordinate security procedures during the three-day
period starting Thursday, 18 January 1973. In overall command
is Washington Police Chief J e r r y Wilson, who w i l l work out of a
central command post equipped with a vast a r r a y of electronic devices and manned by representatives of 41 the U.S. Government
agencies involved. '

Working closely with him will be U. S. Secret Service Director


James Rowley , whose agency has the direct year-round responsibility for the physical safety of the President and his family. Rowley
has ordered about 400 special agents into the Capitol to re-enforce
h i s regular White House detail. In addition to the Secret Service
and Wilson's Metropolitan Police force (numbering 5,100) the
security forces on patrol will be drawn from the General Services
Administration's Government Building Guards (1,500),the Capitol
police (1,OOO), the Executive Protective Service (800),and the
National Park Police (450)---alaw enforcement army of around
10,000.
As can be seen, responsible officials expect acts of civil
disobedience from the above mentioned militant groups and have
taken appropriate action to reasonably assure the orderly, peaceful, and successful conduct of all Inaugural activities.

Antiwar organizers, divided on tactics and targets but
united on a general concept of mass street actions, are working
day and night to bring dissidents to.Washington to protest President
Nixon's second Inauguration.
The two largest peace groups in the country, the PCP.T and
the MPAC, have joined forces to demand a t o m wi thdrawal from
Vieham. Officials of NPAC/PCP.T are expecting 50,000 to participate in the demonstrations to be held on the Washington Monument
Grounds on 20 January. Two main factors to be considered in determining the size of a rally are: (1) the weather (the Na.tiondl
Weather Eureau Long Range Weather Forecast is predictillq fair
weather with temperatures in the middle SO'S), (2) the s u p w r t
they will receive since President Nixon h a s forbidden furL9er bombing in North Vietnam (officials of NPAC/PCPJ have s t d e d that ulis
w i l l not change mything).
.
Law enforcement agencies have indicated that they expect
10,000 15, OOO to participate. Organizers have emphasized that
they want to avoid actions such as those against President Nixon's
first Inauguration in January 1969 when demonstrator- stoned the
Presidential limousine, clashed with police, and vandalized portions of downtown Washington.

(also known as Malcolm X Park) a t 530 p. m. in support of what
they call self-determination for both the Di strict of Columbia and

to All Souls Unitarian Church (16th and Harvard Sts., N. W. ) where
films will be shown. The groupis scheduled to march to the Forrestil Building (10th and Independence A venue, S. W. ) at 11 p. m. ,
19 January, where they plan to conduct an all-night vigil. In the
past the D.C. Elack Community has not responded to such events,
and the metfoplitan police has estimaed that this entire scenario
m a y involve less then 100 persons.

The Forresfal Building was chosen because i t is "another


Fentagon" and symbolizes the racism of the I?. S. military. This
vigil is to continue until 10 a. m. on 20 January to commemorate
the Vietnam war dead. Followinq ihe vigil some of the members
of the group will join the SDS rally at Union Station Plaza. Others
will proceed to the Inaugural Parade route at 15th and Pennsylvania
Avenue. Their purpose would be to attract as much attention as p s sible by shouting or waving signs and banners..

SITUATION INFORMTION

'

Communist Party, USA (CPUSA) is in the process of


- trying 'The
to organize a new national multi-issue front organization to
replace its antiwar contingent, the People's Coalition for Peace and
Justice (FCPJ). This "united front" concept is a typical CPUSA

tactic implemented to attract broad-based support from minority,


religious, and nonaligned U. S. revolutionaries.

. The new coalition,

the Natiohal, D e f k e Organization Against


Racist'an-d Political Repressioa(ND0) plans to focus its attention on
the issues of prisons,apolice brutality, political repression, and the
U.S. legal system,
.-...- d

Supportofor the NDO is being generated by a number of diverse


"leftist" groups who met'in Mew York City on M,vch 17 for a national
pre-conference meeting organized by Charlene Mitchell, C PUSA
candidate for the U. S.. Presidency
in 1968.

Seven hundred-and sixty-nine represerllatives of black, white,


Chicano, Puerto Rican, American Indiin, Asian, and labor organizations attended the founding NDO Conference. Angela Davis, kert '
Corona of Casa Hermanidad, and Carl Eradden of.the Southern Con.

ference Education Fund were ekected co-chairpersons of the new
. coalition. Those elected as vice co-chairpersons yere Clyde Eellecourt
. of the American Indian Movement; Alfred0 Lopez of the Carlos Feliciano
Defense Committee and the Puerto Rican Socialist Party; Rev. Ben
- CJmvis'of the Commission of Racial Justice and the United Church of .
Christ; Bill Takahashi of the United Defense Against Repres;ion, Los
Angeles; and Fred Eell of the United Defense of Political Prisoners,
Dallas, Texas.
,

The founding conference, in addition to launchirig a new tiation.zl


communist- dominated coalition, brought into sharp focus the disunity
within'the "radical left" in the U. S. today. Fractionalism highlighted
the organizing conference. AccQrding to'reliable sources, each attending group strove to esfablish itself as the "revolutionary vanguard"
of the new coalition and consequently very little concT9te organizing
was actually accomplished. It should be noted, that the Socia3ist
Workers Party (SWP) and other Trotskyjst splinter groups did not
prtic-ipate. In addition, the Maoist organizations chose to boycott
the conference.
'

There are basic ideological .pfoblems to be overcome if these


groups are to become involved. Lremains to be seen, if the new
coalitidn will be able to a.ccommodate the ideologically different
"leftist sects" and still be a viable ordanization.

mUATION INFORMATION REPORT


The Underqround Press
The origins of the underground press can pmbably be traced
to the establishment of New York's Villaqe Voice in 1955. Until the
mid-l9W's, Uie Villaqe Voice was a voice calling in the wilderness.
Eut as dissent from the Vietnam War grew on college campuses and few conventional sources of journalistic opinion reflected
this viewpoint, the need for an alternative arose. The first effort
that could truly be called an undergrmnd press began in 1064 with
the establishment of the Los Anqeles Free Press. Not surprisingly,
that inveterate haunt of radical politics, Eerkeley, California,
spawned the second major underground enterprise, the Eerkeley Earb
in 1065. Its first appeamnce coincided directly with one of.the first
active manifestztioiis of antiwar dissent, the attempt to halt a troop
train at the Santa Fe Railroad Station in Eerkeley.
The underground press, an inaccurate name used mostly for
its romantic connotations, w a s the product of a changing national consciousness reflected most visibly by young people. Eut i f changing
consciousness created the need for an alternative press, i t was advancements in printing technology that made it possible.
Newspapers, both commercial and underground, could be
printed cheaper and easier by the offset press, an innovation that
gained widespread usage during this time. It cut production costs
of tabloid newspapers by more than half and greatly reduced tlie
amount of expertise and time required to prepare hard copy lor
printing. Most of the esseritial skills could be lc,vned in a few
months of practice. Another significant advancement was the

development of "cold type. " Cold type basically a very sophisticated typewriter could be s e t in the kitchen, bedroom or storefront
crash pad by anyone who knew how to type.

F.:.;*.

et.;

The underground press of the 1960's appealed primarily to


class youths who had the money and leisure time to explore
"life styles" that p s e d alternatives to the "nineto4ive" work week
syndrome. The pages of the underground press carried news and information on drugs, sexual "liberation, '' rock music, Asian religions
and to some degree the antiwar and anti-draft movements and student
struggles.

. middle

By 1968 the existing underground press w a s undergoing a


radical change and newspapers witli a more pliticd approach were
created. The antiwar movement, third world liberation movements,
[dice brutality; the military -industrial complex, - racism, and
studonts'rights became central issues. Each new radical group went
into print with its own paper. The Elack Panthers put out me Elack
. Fatither, the Young Lords published Palante, and the Progressive
Labor Party circulated Challenqe.
Although lacking a clear analysis of current events, many of
the new underground papers and the old ones that didn't fold up in
the transitional stage made motions to Marxism but actually leaned
heavily toward anarchism.

'

. The Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)helped give direction to a good number of the largely student-oriented underground
newspapers. The Raq in Austin, Texas, the R a t in New York, and
the.Washinqton Free Press followed the SDS party line.
Thc 1960 SDS niitional convention, which split SDS into a
number of opposing factions, signaled the downEall of UIC? uridcrcJround
press.

g%
&-.

The editorial line relentlessly blasted the "straight, authoritarian world" and supported all aspeck?of the struggle for "total
freedom. 'I Liberation of the spirit through karma forces, LSD,
.and electronic music were familiar themes.

c
I

La.Cking rn3ma.l focus and leadership, each paper was forced


-to*define its role and develop i t s own political line based on wilat reniained of the radical youth movement, its own readership, and
financial backers. Most papers vacillated during the ensuing months
and many more folded in the process.

..

g:, :

The underground press is now in decline. It would appear that


the vitality of the. "alternative" press was directly proprtional to the
health .of the radical movement inayenerd. The undergroutld press
arose from the ferment of the times and the abatement of that ferment
has undercut its strength and need.

Space City in Houston, The Seed in Chicago, The East VUaqc Other
in New York City and scores of other Underground n e w s p p e r s have
reluctantly Ulrown in the towel. The trend indicates more may follow.
The decline of the underground press reflects a fundamental
change in the Political, ideological and cultural nature of i t s six
million readers. The press's inability to transcend the depoliticization of the generation that i t has served, has apparently led it to Ule

The local chapter of the-American Indian .Defense Committee,


made up of members from the Youth Against War and Fascism (a military and violence prone communist front group), are planning a
demonktration in L a y e t t e Park on 28 April at 1:OO p. m.
The purpose of the demonstration is to gain support for the
J

American Indian Movement. Reportedly, plans for the demonstration


are still being formulated and the total n
known at this time.

28-29 April, New York City, San Francisco, and Toronto


The Worker Action Movement; a front group controlled by the
Progressive Labor Party, has scheduled three regional conventions
for the above dates. Recently announced convention sites are New
York City, San Francbco, and Toronto. The WAM are callirig the
meetings with the hope of making "30 for 40" a new 1eft;wing cause.
The term "30 for 40" was coined by the PLP arid refers to
demands that workers be able to work 30 hours and receive pay for
40 hours. Since competitors on the revolutionary left have been ignoring the "30 for 40" issue, PLP is hopeful that it can have this
issue a l l to itself and thus pick up ome ba y needed re ruits.

trying to organize a new national multi-issue front organization to
replace its antiwar contingent, the People's Coalition for Peace and
Justice (FCPJ). This %nited front" concept is a typical CPUSA
tactic implemented to attract broad-W&d support from minority,
religious, and nonaligned U. S. revolutionaries.

tional Defense Organization AqainsL


(NDO)plans to focus its attention on
lice brutali,ty4 political repression, and the

U. S. legal system.
Support for the NDO is'being generated by a number of diverse
"leftist" groups who met in New York City on March 17 for a national
pre-conference meeting organized by Charlene Mitchell, C PUSA
candidate for the U. S. Presidency in 1068.
A national organizing conference sponsored by the Rev. Ralph
AbernaLhy, Southern Christian Leadership Conference; Rev. Dan

The founding conference, in addition tb launching a new national


communist- dominated coalition, brought into sharp focus the disunity
within the "radical left" in the U. S. today. Fyactionalism highlighted
the organizing conference. According to reliable sources, each attending group strove to establish itself q.,$he tlrcvolutionzry vanguard"
of the new coalition and consequently very little concrete organizin3 .
wi?sactually accomplished. It should be noted, that the Socklist
Workers Party (SVJP) and other Trotskyist splinter groups did not
participate. In addition, the' Maoist orgwzations chose. to .boycott
the conference.

There are basic ideological problems to be overcame if these


groups are to become involved. It remains to be seen, i f the new
coalition w i l l be able to accommodate the ideologically differect
"leftist sectsv1and still be a viable organization.

The a t t a c k on BAWES began a f t e r the October demonstrations


and were Lnttiated i n the m a i n by a small group of i n s t r u c t o r s , withi n t h e Faculty of A r t s and Sciences. During t h i s period BARNES odd r e s s e d the KiwaniQs Club of Will~amsburg, f n which he described the
October demonstrations because t h e local conununlty vanted more Lnformstion on these Sncidents. I n h i s s p e e c h BARBES c r i t i c i t e d the few
f a c u l t y mcmbers who beoutaged confrontation end e s c a f e t i o a o t campus
d i f f e r e n c e s and c r i s & . The speech was r e l e a s e d t o the l o c a l and
campus p r e s s and r e a c t i o n was i m e d i a t c by t h e campus newspaper,
The Student Association, and v a r i o u s freepreated r a d i c a l
w
s
, wto number less t h a n 200 persons.
On 10 February 1970, t h e Faculty of A r t 8 and Sciences, one o f
four such f a c u l t i e s , u\ose membership r e p r e s e n t s about one-third of
the e n t l r c instru:tlonsl
force, v o t e d a lack o confidence i n BARNES
and dcplorcd h i s promotion t o Dean of students. Approximately 60
t o 80 members.sttended this particular meeting, thereby lacking mote
than h a l f o f s t o t a l membership. Following the l e a d o f the Faculty
of A r t s and Sciences, a s t u d e n t referendum was held BurCng t h e weekend
of 14-15 February 1970. The referendum, admittingly conducted under.
htahly quest lonabfe circumstances, resulted in a vote oL no confidence
in BARNES by t h e students. Slightly more than one-thlrd of t h e stud e n t body parttcXpated,voting about f i v e to one against BARNES.
Tlie manner $n which the referendum was cvnducted has been c r i t t c i t e d
by a l l S n t e r e s t e d p a r t i e s , because of l a t e and Inequiteble b a l l o t
dtstributton and improper accounting. Many b a l l o t s d i d not reach
o r were not returned from m o s t known conservative campus groups,
s u c h a s f r a t e r n i t i e s , s o r o r i t i e s , and those d o r m i t o r i e s known to
house c o n s e r v a t i v e minor s t u d e n t @ , 6uch as R(m: menbers.

On 1 7 February 1970, t h e Student Association Assembly passed


r e s o l u t i o n c ~ p r e s s i n g ,**a lack of confidenca" i n BARNES and voiced
g'strong" disapproval of h i s e l e v a t i o n t o Dean o rtudenta by 8 vote

the 1968-69 school sesslon, h e i s currently being criticized for '
increased tuitions, h i s suspected approval of BARNES, and additionally
he is severely tested by the Dcpart'ment of Health, Education, and
Welfare rcgarbtng equal opportunities for blacks.

The informant reported that he cannot understand the apparent


dissolvernent of SAX unless i t represents planning for the surfacing
ot

of present attitudes on campus, t h e r e is 8 good possibility t h a t
a stronger organization might take the i o n 0 o a_Studente for Dcrnocratic Society (sDS) chapter. The informant noted t h a m u x - CEPon;=y

it is approved by the Student Association. The informant noted prcviously expressed opinions that SAM receives literature and directions
from SDS. The informant opined that only strong and immediate action
by conservetive groups could prevent the eventual sanctioning o f r n
SDS chapter at the college and he would be surprtsed t f the administretion,opposed such an organitation. A t t h e same time the infotrnant noted the recent regrouping of the campus chapter of YounR Americans f o r Freedom OAF) a f t e r tuo years of inactivity*as w e l l

Dear Hr. Brychkov:


We are Ln raceipt of your l e t t e r of 13 ?larch 1965 pertainitq t o ' t t e
f i b l i c e t i o r of t h e correspondence betueen our two organizations i n

t h e Infomation Bulletin of t h e International Student Conference


. ' (November
L 4 6 9 1
W e f u l l y recognize the v a l t d i t y of your objections t o the pualication
o,Q your correspondence wtthout receiving prior p e r n i s s b n fr'o3 your

organization. W
e a l s o recognize that any e d i t i n g of such c o r r e s p n dence W88 completely unjustified. USKSA would ltke t o express i t a
sincere apotogiea i n t h i s matter and accepts f u l l responzbility for
t h e action.

We would, however, l i k e t o Offat an explanation f o r w h a t has occured.


C o p f e s of the correapondence bethxen our two organizatinns wen sent
.
. t o our representative i n Paris end t o the Amaricanneabera of t h e
S e c r e t a r i a t of t h e 1%so t h a t they right be f u l l y apprized of tb
l a t e s t develop~entsin t h e r e l a t i o n s between our t v o organizationso
Apparently, they assumed that they were authorimd t o gubltsh t h e
material. Since we sent them t h e copies ue do, of course,.accept
. . the ultimate responsibility for such action. Ve az0 in the process
of c o n t a c t i w thea t o c l a r i f y thLs matter.
A8 you requested, we are sendLng coi&s

of letters received by 0S.SA


dated August 24th and Oecenber 28th. a s = a l l B e Copies of our letters
of September 24th. Xoovadmr, 16, end Narch 2 t o t h e ,I%. We a h e l l
reql;est t h e ISC t o publish a11 of the letters i n unedited fona end
drav attentfon t o the f a c t t h a t diecrepancies existed io the materbl
greviouily published.

We are concerned, towevsr, about t5e l a s t paragraph i n yonr letter


of 13 Parch. We do not believe t h a t it i s e i t t e r courteous or f r u f t P u l t o iseue t h r e a t s when actions have been token whicb one of our
organizstlons f e e l s has been unfair. Clearly t h e first step is to

Comrntttoe of Youth Organtsationr
Ulitsa Kropotktru 10
Moscow,

U. S. S. R.

Dear Friends:

Over the past few months we have had lnereaoing correopondence


with your o r g a d r a t i o n regarding exchange of parsons and exchange of publicationr. The program of student and youth editors exchange which h a r arisen from this correspondence is
one significant product oC cooperation bstween our two o r g a i s a tions. It is our h o p s tha&further opportunitiem can be created
to improve understanding between students of the Untted States
and rtudentr of the Soviet Union. ,
1 believe that we m a t to you morne t h e ago the resoktionr of
our Tenth National Student Congress. You wil! recaU that the

Congress resolution notes qpecifically the desire ofithe r e p r e oentativeo to realize a fruitful program of long4erm' academic
exchange. To the end of increasing opportunities for mutual
appreciation of cultural efforts among our e o organimatione, we,
therefore, propane to you an exchange program a o follows:
(1) An exchange of two to five students each way to be arranged

for the academic year 1958-59. This would bo treated as at.


introductory program 4 t h the hope thrt it could be expanded
i n the near future.
( 2 ) USNSA and the Committee of Youth OrganL8tionr would bo
roeponsibls for selection of the students from t h e i r countries.

I t would bc understood that rhe educational institutions r e o e r v e


final rtght to admit a student. USNSA would make ovary effort
to insure that a C Y 0 nominee would be admitted to aa appropriate
ins tttution.
(3) Choice of univeroities for the studenti to attend i n the two
countrtcs wtll.&pend on the expressed preference of the exchangeem a8 to where they would like ta study, suggestions by
our two orgonizationo and the availability of facilitiem at various
tnatitutionr

Student Association, but nrithaut much success.

Orientation and Integration

The Committee begins Its nark for ~ u t u ~ nQuarter


n
bp organizing the orientation period for the Scholars. since the Scholars come t o a completely mu
envlronwnt, too much Information p r o v l b d a t once may bewilder rather than
help them. On the ather band, there must be enough mll-plaxmd meetiryle, tours
and social gatherings to sthulate and aaintain the Scholars' interest.
Ckm of the moat Inportant featwes of the orientation program is that It
provides the f i r s t and best opportunity for 9 8 Committee to create a feeling
of camaraderie aaong the Scholars a d their spozmrs. The sharbg of the three
orientatlon days. by the C o m a i t t e e and the Scholars produces the friendship and
-8
are
Goup loyalty nhich are indispensible to a succe6Sfbl pro-.
schednled &ring the querter, to ament t h l s feeling. A t ths saw time, the
Committee aims to malee the Scholars comfortable without acting as the* constant
e
w of fellomhip w i t h each other, they often take
guardian. If they acqulre a s
it upon themselves to help one another out, thus easing the Camdtteets job, and
gaining satisfaction frm using their own Initiative.

Teekly metlags are held w i t h Stanford professors every quarter. A general


theme fcr the qrrartar can help t o make the meetings mom successful. In preparthese discuasiona, w ham followed tnu dif-reut pdLicies. SometLms
um haw assi@md the reading of aettaia passages in a book, or 88magashe
articles. These a s s i w n t s help to sol= the problem of finding camman ground
for discussion for Scholars w i t h divergent cultural backgrounds and academic
interests. A t other times the discussions haw been spontaneous, with no
special pwparatlon. The pre?ared meetings wre those 00 spacializad or unusual
topics, such a s constitutional l a w or religion, and these seem t o have been anoat
successflll.

Attendanee a t the s d n a r s is compulsorp for the Scholars. This requjrenmnt

insures that ma* difikmtnt *wa


rdll be presented. A sliOtls larger group
than rauld be most advantageous far American studeats is desirable. To keep
the discussion golag, it I s adolsable t o have a f e w outstanding student leaders
(membats of the leglslatwe Qp student bow officers, I f possible), and a ten
Mends of the Scholars p r e p n t in addition t o the aCof the C d t t e e .

Smaking Engagers -

h the W of Autuma Quarter, the Comittee arranges brief talks t o


campus orgadzations. To secure a bettar adJusiamst for the Scholars and to
=ow time for their'academb ao~k,no speadng engagamsnta are made off campus
during ~utuumQuertar. When tha Scholars start speaklng off =amprrs, all engaggo
mnts are s&e&led through tbe C d t t a e . An effort I s mad8 to see that no
Scholar is asked t o speak mort) than once a mek, exclndlng informal t a l k s to
l l a g coups. No spealdag enga@mmts are scheduled for the txu melt8 of the

final examinatloa period.

Since there aften ie wI& difference in the Scholarst abilities to
handle E n a s h , the Commitfee must mekc! diplamtic allowances k? planniag

The deaaad far Scholars to speak often is dependent on the Scholar~egeographic or national origin. A Sftrdent &ea the Free tlnivarsitq of Berlin or
one from Earachi may f b d that them ia a p a t demand for hls -8,
mile
one Fnmn Sritaerlansl or A u s t m I l a may receim fen i n v i t a t i o n s to speak. This
often gives rise to miaar jealousies. The situation is correctad in tno aays:
1) by the r u e which limits speaking engageemants off campus far any one Scholar
t o no m o m than om a w k , and 2) by the effart o f the C e t o r of Speaking
Zngagements to sec~~p*t~ g c u m t n t sfor those Scholars uho are^ less in demand.
There are no fonW limitat&oas on the subject-aatter o f the speakers, but
