A fake passport, produced
by the Central Intelligence
Agency for former White
House consultant E. Howard
Hunt Jr., was being carried by
one of the suspects at the time
of the Watergate break-in, in-
vestigators have dsiclosed.
The passport, inadb out in
the name of "Edward Hamil-
ton" ? the same initials as
Hunt's ? reportedly was found
on Frank Sturgis when he was
arrested at Democratic Na-
tional Committee headquarters
in June.
The disclosure of the pass-
port yesterday 'added a dimen-
sion to the Case: The possibili-
ty that current CIA employes
were involved in political espi-
-onz.lge. The CIA has repeatedly
'assured Congress that its fake
documents are kept under
tight control.
Hunt and several of the oth-
ers under indictment have ac-
knowledred they once worked
for .the CIA,,but have asserted
they were .no longer in its em-
ploy at the time of the Water-
gate incident.
Hunt's wife was killed in the
United Air Lines crash in Chi-
cago on Friday. Her purse was
-found to contain more than
$10,000 in cash. Police report-
ed that one of the bills bore
the written inscription: "Goad
Luck. FS" ? the same initials
as Sturgis'.
Sturgis has never been iden-
tified as a direct employe of
the CIA, but was known to
have had extensive agency

contacts in Miami. An ex-
Marine, he fought with Fidel
Castro in Cuba and was re-
warded with the gambling ca-
sino concession in Havana aft-
er Castro won.
But the two men had an ear-
ly falling out, and Sturgis went
over to t'the Cuban exile com-
munity in Miami. He was once
arrested on a boat off British
Honduras in what he described
as an attempted "commando
raid" on Cuba.
A soldier of fortune, he is
believed to have used several
psuedonymns besides that of
Edward Hamilton. He was
born Frank Fiorini in Norfolk,
Va., but adopted the name of
his stepfather.
Hunt was hired as a White
House consultant by Charles
W. Colson, special counsel to
President Nixon. He openly
declares in his Who's Who list-
ing that he. has operated under
a number of psuedonymns ?
Robert Dietrich, John Baxter
and Gordon Davis.
Thefederalindictment
charges that Hunt was present
on the night of the Watergate
break-in, but left before the
police arrived and apprehend-
ed the five persons inside the
Democratic headquarters. He
was linked to the case through
a $25,0iY3 cash fund, a cam-
paign contribution to the Com-
mittee for the Re-election of
the President.

. ? By RICK NAGIN
NEW YORK, Dec. 7 ? With what is certain to be a stormy Democratic National
Committee meeting only two days away, the right-wing, cold-war forces in the Demo-
cratic Party are stepping up their drive to crush the rank-and-file movement which was
heading toward po:Itical independence from the boss-owned major Parties.
These cold-war forces have
formed a "Coalition for a Demo-
cratic Majority" (CDM). and ta-
ken out full-page ads in news-
papers which appeared today.
The organizers and sponsors
who signed the ad comprise pri-
marily forces under the leader-
ship of Senators Henry Jackson
and Hubert Humphrey, AFL-CIO
president George Meany and the
cold-war intellectuals of the So-
cialist Party-Democratic Socialist
Federation.
These leading forces in the coal-
ition have succeeded in winning
over a few people associated prom-
inently with the McGovern candi-
dacy, such as Michael Novak, the
liberal theologian who wrote
'speeches for Shriver, and William
DuChessi, secretary-treasurer of
the Textile Workers of America
who headed the Labor for Mc-
Govern organization in New York.
. Labor names
The new committee is also ob-
viously trying to give itself a labor
tone as it lists among its sponsors
a number of labor officials, most-
ly noted for their class-collabora-
tionist or racist policies.
However, the bulk of the signers
have long or close association with
cold-war activities. These include
people with CIA ties such as Zbig-
niew Brzezinski and Norman Pod-
horetz; Vietnam war propagand-
ists John Roche and Eugene V.
Rostow, and Harvard's cold-war
intellectuals, Daniel Bell, Sey-
mour Martin Lipset and Nathan
U.S. foreign policy or racist Prac-
tices. The Vietnam war is not
mentioned in the statement but, in
an oblique reference, is character-
ized as "past miscalculations and
failures of policy." Despite these
"misfortunes," no change is in-
dicated in the policies of "United
States involvement in internation-
al affairs,"
The CDM also adopts the Nixon-
Meany racist line on job quotas,
which it indicates violate "the
principle of individual merit with-
out regard to inherited status."
" ... No single group or class
enjoys a special moral status," it
says, declaring itself to be for
ending "discrimination against
some" so long as this does . not
involve "recourse to discrimina-
tion against others."
Glazer.
Among the right-wing social
democrats, several-of whom have
close ties to Meany, are Bayard
Rustin, A. Philip Randolph and
Penn Kemble, who is the CDM's
executive director.
The CDM is also being led by
Ben Wattenberg, a Jackson aide,
and Max Kartipelman, a Humph-
rey associate.

that there should belie) elixige in

the victor marcilotti story
by james otis
"I'm a scoutmaster" says Victor
Marchetti. He is, in fact, more than a
scoutmaster. .
Until 1969 he was executive assis-
tant to the deputy director of Central
Intelligence, Admiral Rufus Taylor.
More 'recently, he has been the subject
of a legal case which could crack open
the darkest recesses of America's clan-
destine government. "I am the kind
of a guy who manages Little League
teams," he goes on. "Well, my scouts
and ball players began to grow up on
me and they became draft age. They
let their hair grow; they changed. Now
I know these were ' good boys, and
they started to get to me. They began
saying, 'I'm not going to go and get
shot in Vietnam, because it's an unjust
war.' " Doubts, gnawing doubts about
Vietnam and the CIA's role in foreign
affairs. He ?says that he saw himself
becoming a lifer, an intelligence bu-
reaucrat, and he "didn't want to play
the game any longer." After 14 years
as a spy for America, Marchetti quit.
That was 1969. Now, in August,
1972, in Washington, D. C., he sat in a
Chinese restaurant, known as a place
frequented by CIA agents. Far from
the taciturn and glamorous killer, Mar-
chetti looked stolidly middle class, of
conservative mien and talkative
manner. As he spoke, he furtively
sized up the occupants of the other
tables and mentally chronicled the
comings and going of all patrons, pre-
sumably out of habit. Did he think the
interview was being bugged? "It's not
beyond them," he replied, his face a
mixture of edginess and resignation.
It had not always been like this. He
had left the agency on the best of
terms, his boss assuring him that he
"had a home to Come back to." "In
if I was at the Agency. I. was going to
dinner parties ... we'd sit around and
talk. In fact, I saw as much of Agency
people as I did when I was working."
But somewhere along the line he
got the notion that he wanted to blow
the whistle on the CIA: "I would go
down to a shopping center and walk
around. For the first time in 15 years,
I began to look at a check-out clerk as
a human being, instead of a check-out
clerk. I got interested in people and
my ideas about the Agency became
firmer and sharper, and I began to.
Marchetti: Blowing the whistle
locus on precisely what was bothering
Victor Marchetti decided to write a
book. While the process of writing can
be a solitary and private experience, he
could scarcely expect to scribble away,
merrily exposing his former em-
ployers, without it coming to their
horrified attention. True, the CIA's
record has been afflicted with tragi-
comic vicissitudes, but it can pre-
sumably keep tabs on its own.
Within weeks of his book outline
being shown to various New York
publishers, the CIA obtained a copy
through a source within the industry.
It immediately sought, and received, a
court injunction against any further
revelation of the book's contents. The
order additionally restrains Marchetti
written book with his literary agent,
publishers, or wife. It is an injunction
of unprecedented scope?never before
has the government gone to court tri
prevent former employees from speak-
ing or writing. At the heart of the case
lies a basic conflict between the First
Amendment guarantees of free speech
and the government's interest in keep-
ing a lid on its various clandestine?and
often illegal?activities. Provoked by
the wave of "whistle-blowing" at
on Daniel Ellsberg's release of the
Pentagon Papers, the conflict arises
because of official activity which of-
fends the moral sensibilities of rather
ordinary, and very loyal, public ser-
vants like Victor Marchetti. If the Su-
preme Court backs Marchetti's right to
talk, it could open a floodgate for a
torrent of revelations about the ne-
farious activities of American spy
agencies. If it upholds the CIA, it
could cut down on the trickle of infor-
mation which currently keeps the In-
visible Government on its guard.
Aside . from the broader implica-
tions of the case, the CIA has good
reason to fear what Marchetti himself
might reveal about his erstwhile em-
ployers. He is unquestionably the
highest-ranking intelligence official to
threaten exposure of the Agency's
more questionable endeavors. He
knows where t' . skeletons are hidden.
Indeed, Marchetti is given credit for
developing the surveillance techniques
which led the CIA to discover Russian
missiles in Cuba and thereby provoked-
the 1962 Missile Crisis. -
As Marchetti tells the story, "After.
I was with the Agency for five or six
years, I was assigned to the Cuban
problem. This was exciting and per-
sonally very satisfying because another
fellow and I evolved a strange analyti-
cal working tool which we called
crateology. With it we were able to
identify the merchant ships that were
arms carriers.. Over a period of time,
since the Soviets were very methodi-
cal, we began to learn which crate

Special to the Daily World
, CLEVELAND, Nov. 13 ? Angela Davis warned of continued attacks by the Nixon
Administration in the next four years against peoples fighting for liberation abroad and
at home, in an. address before 3,030, mostly.youth, in the Theater downtown.
The enthusiastic meeting was
sponsored by the student govern-
ment at Cleveland State Univer-
sity as the first in its Public Lec-
ture Series for the 1972-73 season.
So great was the interest in
Miss Davis' speech that the lec-
ture had to be moved from the
campus auditorium to the spa-
eious Allen Theater. 13usloads of
students from Ohio State, Athens,
Kent State and a half dozen other
colleges and universities added
to the army of Cleveland college
and high school students, approx-
imately 85 percent Black, who
gave Miss Davis a rousing recep-
tion and applauded her advocacy
of socialism as the fundamental
answer to capitalist oppression
and racism.
Many workers took off from
work to attend the mid-day meet-
ing, held the day after elections.
Proudly referring to the Com-
munist Presidential ticket of Gus
Hall and Jarvis Tyner, Davis told
of how, had they been elected,
she would have been appointed
'Attorney General; how she would
have gathered all the FBI, CIA,
police and military intelligence
dossiers and prison records, finger-
prints, etc., for the "greatest
bonfire celebrating freedom" this
country had ever seen. An ovation
greeted this statement.
Miss Davis appealed for a na-
tional movement to free all politi-
cal prisoners, and called for a
renewed struggle gainst the
danger of fascism and the poliu- similar laws in the U.S. She re-
tion of racism which feeds it. minded her audience that the war
Racism and its practices, she in Vietnam was a racist war by

in the Soviet Union and the other against it was an integral part of

WARNING AGAINST PROVOCATION
? The Communist Party of Illinois has released
the following statement:
A number of inquiries have been made to our
office, pertaining to letters that have been receiv-
ed by people, charging Jay Schaffner, a leader of
the YWLL in Illinois, Sylvia Kushner, a leader of
the Chicago Peace Council, and Gil and Robbi-
lee Terry, owners of the Guild Book Shop and
distributors of progressive and Marxist literature,
as FBI and police agents. These letters have all.
been mailed from Berwyn, Illinois, and are sign-
ed "Chicagoland Committee to Expose Police
Spies, Informants and Provocators."
It is no accident that the four above-mentioned
people have been selected, against whom lies and
slander are being spread. These people are activ-
ists and some are leaders in the peace movement,
and the youth movement, in the struggle against
racism, constantly exposing red-baiting and anti-
communism.
The sponsors Of this provocation do not have
the guts to identify themselves, but feel free to
spread falsehoods and remain anonymous. We de-
clare that these letters could be the work of rac-
ist, rightist agent-provocateurs, the CIA, FBI or
Red Squad agents, aimed at discrediting and sow-
ing suspicion against some of the most active free-
dom fighters. ?
This is a revival of methods used on a wide-
spread "scale during the McCarthy period. The
Illinois Communist Party calls attention to these
shameful and sneaky attacks, and urges all decent
people to be on guard against such provocations.

any Americans take their notions of life in a
police state from George Onvell's 1984, a
bitter vision of unrelenting institutional
malevolence. The state, Orwell feared, would intrude
into every corner of life with the purpose of direct
and total control. Every room would be wired foi.
sound, every move scanned by cameras, every ac-
quaintance a potential informer, every thought a po-
tential crime. Orwell's vision was based on certain
harsh realities: the Germany and Russia of the 1930s
and 1940s, and the growing technology of surveil-
lance available to policemen. He assumed, with rea-
son, that police would do it if they could do it, and
. foresaw a time, quickly approaching, when nothing
would be technically beyond them. Orwell was a
man who brooded, working his thoughts over in his
mind for years, and the visionary force of 1989 has
left its readers with the assumption that the police
state of the future must include midnight knocks on
the door, interrogation by torture, and pistol bullets
in the back of the head.
Much of what Orwell envisioned for the world is
now fact, but veiled and muted fact,: with the effect
that even in this country police activity which would
have seemed inconceivable in earlier decades now
strikes many otherwise skeptical people as prudent
watchfulness, at worst only trivial and overcautious,
and perhaps even necessary. Everyone knows
vaguely that the FBI keeps an eye on things, that lo-
- cal police departments watch radicals, that. even the
Army for a while was keeping files on people it con-
sidered possible troublemakers. But the reality of this
political spying has been so much less sinister than
Orwell anticipated, so fumbling and occasional, that
even those most concerned, its targets or "victims," if
you will, have difficulty in maintaining their sense of
alarm. Those in favor of this incessant watching ar-
gue lamely that one has nothing to fear so long as
one has nothing to bide; and those who oppose it still
speak more of future rather than present dangers in
the use of police procedures for political purposes.
Even this writer, when he began, thought other prob-
lems more urgent than political surveillance, and yet,
when you begin to add everything up, not only what
is known, which is plenty, but what is not known,
which might be . . . anything . . . Well, let us not
anticipate, but proceed.
Perhaps the best place to begin is with the experi-
ences of a single organization, Vietnam Veterans
Against the War, a group of several hundred activists
and perhaps twenty thousand members all told, of
whom very few had taken part in any sort of politics
before joining VVAW. The group came to life in
April, 1967, when .six veterans found themselves
marching together in a huge antiwar demonstration
in New York. Its official existence has been fitful ever
since, growing and subsiding more or less in time
with the antiwar movement as a whole. Their best-
known action was Operation Dewey Canyon III in

A virtual news blackout has been
declared by the nation's press concerning
the major legal challenges that have been
launchedaga inst. the Central Intelligence
Agency.
The August 10 filing of a suit in Wash-
ington against CIA Director Richard helms
and other government officials was a mat-
ter of court record and easily accessible to
the news media. In addition, a news re-
lease containing essential facts about the?

*Special to the Virginia Weekly
America's "invisible govern rnt-nt,7 the
Central Intelligence (CIA), owes its exist-
ence to a piece of legislation that is uncon-
stitutional.
This is the likely import of'recent ac- -
tions in Federal Courts in Washington and
Philadelphia.
In a suit filed August 10;in the U.S.
.District Court for the District of Colum-
Earlier this year on July 20, an import-
ant decision in the U.S. Third Circuit
Court of Appeals guaranteed that the CIA
would be brought to court on a challenge
that had been in process since 1968.
America' greatest newspaper "of record"
the New York Times, ignOred the story,
as did the Washington Evening Star and
most other papers. The Washington Post
carried the story as a small item on page
ten.
It. was. confirmed that editors were well
. aware of the sto.72_nd_its importance.
A call to one of Washington's two-dail-
ies produced this comment from a leading
reporter: "You can call it a 'press con-
spiracy' if you like, but we're not going to
print it and I'm sure no one else is either:".
The Washington suit followed closely
a trail-blazing decision on July 20 of this
year by ihe U.S. Third Circuit Court of
Appeals in Philadelphia. In thai decision
a majority of the court held that there
was a serious legal question concerning '
the 'constitutionality of the CIA act of
1949 which established a secret procedure
for financing the agency.
A VIRTUALLY IGNORED CLAUSE
Both court cases arc based on a virtually
ignored clause of the United States Con-
stitution specifically requiring that "a-
regular Statement and Account of the
Receipt and Expenditures of all public
money shall be published from time to
time." The CIA act of 1949 just as expli-
citly states '!...Sums made available to
bia, three Washingtonians challenged the
thy be e),p- ended without
secrecy of theePINisio1QU1601R000800270001-APrivfitgEorcReleas
?funds."
The spy agency receives somewhere
between four and twenty billion dollars
each year in public funds (how much is-a
closely guarded secret) that are carefully
hidden throughout the appropriations
figures for the entire federal government.
The new suit also asks for a state-by-
state and nation-by-nation breakdown of
CIA expenditures, as well as separating
the money into, categories by functions. ?
CIA Director Richard Helms and Eliot
Richardson, Secretary of the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare are
brought into the local suit.

U.S. Election Absorbs
Many South Vietnamese
By MALCOLM W. BROWNE
Spec:al to The New York Tinte3
SAIGON, South Vietnam, July!
13--eNever has an American'
election seemed more important
to politically informed South
Vietnamese than the coming
race between Senator George
McGovern and President Nixon.
, Many South Vietnamese see
the election as a clear contest
of opposing points of view on
the Vietnam war and one in
which the future of Vietnam
will be decided.
The assumption by most Viet-
namese seems to be that Presi-
dent Nixon will pursue his pres-
ent course, which, in their eyes,
Means ? fighting the Commu-
nists, come what may.
Senator McGovern is seen as
in enemy of President Thieu
and - military rule, and, more
Importantly, as someone who
would bring peace to Vietnam
by allowing the Communists to
prevail sooner or later. ,
Consequently, the attitudes
of any South Vietnamese to-
ward the two candidates can
be predicted exactly if it is
known how he feels about the
war, communism and Presi-
dent Nguyen Van Thieu.
. 'We Mistrust Both'
, "There is another factor I
must mention if I am to be
completely frank," a fairly
high-ranking South Vietnamese
civil servant said. "There has
never been atime when Vietnam-
mese of all political stripes dis-
liked Americans more than
they do now. That is to say,
we dislike and mistrust both
Nixon and McGovern, for the
irrational reason they are both
Americans.
"But for me, and perhaps
just for that reason, I prefer
McGovern. He .has pledged to
get America out of Vietnam,
and that's all I need to know
about him."? I
Despite the speaker's high;
position in the Government, his i
views are clearly not typical i
of 'supporters of President;
Th ieu.
Over the years Mr. Nixon!
has repeatedly visited South;
Vietnam, and a succession of
military governments has made
him feel welcome. By compari-
son, ? Senator McGovern was
greeted with, tear gas and offi-
cial derision when he visited
Saigon last September.
Ngo Khac Tinh, Minister of
Education and a cousin of Presi-
dent Thieu, said of the Mc-
Govern candidacy: "As Viet-
namese we all wish to see an
American President who can
Ideal i OfitingirovedhFarnRe
nists.- Iuthink President Nixon
has been. tough.. McGovern is
too soft, too flexible."
. _
Nixon Victory Expected
Opposition politicians, paci-
fists, most journalists and prob-
ably a majority of the younger
intellectuals would like to see
Senator McGovern in the White
House.
Ho Ngoc Milian, an opposi-
tion Deputy said: "If Mr. Mc-
Govern wins in November then
I think he will be the one
United States President who
can bring about an honorable
and roost satisfactory solution
to the Vietnam war!' ?
The general assumption here
is that President Nixon will
win re-election.
The body of gossiping politi-
cians, journalists, lawyers and
others who make up the Sai-
gon coffeehouse set already
fears for Senator McGovern's
life.
"Nixon will have him mur-
dered, you'll see," a prominent
lawyer said. "That's.. how poli-
tics in America . work these
days. The microphones the Re-
publicans tried to plant at
Democratic headquarters show
what's going on. Sonic mysteri-
ous killer, like the one Wil0
almost got Wallace, will get

Most South Vietnamese be-

like Vietnam, moves politically
mainly within a context of con-
spiracies and counterconspira-
cies. There is doubt that the
electoral process in America is
much more than a sham that
conceals a behind-the-scenes
President-making process. ?
Those few South Vietnamese
who have visited or lived in
the United States view the
coming election more realisti-
cally, and some confess they
are in a quandary about it.
"If we Vietnamese could
vote in your election," a weal-
thy and well-educated Saigon
doctor said, "this would be a
difficult one for me."
'A Time To Be Counted'
He added:
"The issues are perfectly
clear, a vote for McGovern
is a vote against my supposed
class and for the Communists.
If the Communists .take over,
it will mean the destruction of
me. I will lose everything.
"But l'm going to surprise
you and tell you I would vote
for McGovern anyway. The
time has come for nationalists
STAT I NITL
"One of the reagins for the
great anti-American feeling
here now is Nixon's support
for a very unpopular president
in Vietnam," he continued.
"Nixon will win, of course,
but I would like to see a Mc- -
Govern victory followed by a
gradual transition here. The
'Communists will run all of,
Vietnam eventually, but the
main thing is that they should
assume control not suddenly,
but gradually, and let us all
get used to each other a little
at a time."
Although most South Viet-
namese and foreigners living
here say they know how the
people of this country think on
any given issue, nothing seems
harder to gauge than South
Vietnamese public opinion.
South Vietnam never had
a free election, and the few
past efforts to take polls have
been largely thwarted by the
war and the prevailing fear
that truthful answers can lead
to trouble with the police on
!one side or the Communists on ?
the other.
There seems little question
that south Vietnamese who
want continued armed re-
sistance to the Communists are
hoping for a Nixon victory in
November; those who want an
end to the war look to Senator.
McGovern.

Police use of press
credentials denounced
Use of press credentials by undercover
policemen is the subject of new depart-
mental regulations at the Los Angeles Po-
lice Department.
Chief Edward Davis said he plans to
present a resolution outlawing the activity
at upcoming meetings of the California
Peace Officers Association and the Inter-
national Association of Chiefs of Police.
Davis told Capitol News Service at
Sacramento that the men in his'command
"never used the technique" but he
wouldn't say which departments did to
.cause the uproar.
Suffice it to say there were law enforce-
ment agencies using the press credential
to ingratiate officers into groups of social
revolutionaries for the purpose of gather-
ing intelligence data.
It has been reported that undercover
agents of Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA) and police in San Diego and San
Francisco have been involved.
Newsmen say the use of Phony press
credentials by policemen is a "violation of
the guarantee of press freedom," and
"misuse of an abiding trust" which the
public should have for accredited news
correspondents and photographers.
For a peace officer to use press creden-
tials to gather information "casts doubt
on the real members of the press and
places them in jeopardy," the Davis reso-
lution states.

Spurred by yesterday's demon-
stration of more than 15,000 at the
Capitol yesterday ? a rally in
which trade unions played a signi-
ficant part ? the protesters today
marched across a Memorial
Bridge into Virginia to stage a
symbolic "people's blockade of
the Pentagon."
. The marchers sat down in the
Pentagon parking lot, where speak-
ers .urged them to maintain "con-
stant pressure" on the Pentagon
- and the Nixon Administration to
end the war. *. ?
They were met by a line of po-
lice. More than.170 arrests were
.? made by police wielding clubs and
using teargas.
Father James Groppi of Mil-
.waukee, one : of the speakers,
praised the demonstrators for
opposing militarism in the U.S.
and .supporting the "just cause"
of the Vietnam Liberation move-
ment. .-
Groppi was among those later

Federal Employees for Peace
from the Capital -area carried a
sign which read "U.S. out of Asia

Workers marched under a banner
with the slogan "Impeach Nixon."
Applause greeted the United

By Jack Anderson
The FBI is conducting sys-
tematic surveillance of black
leaders, who are guilty of
nothing more serious than ex-
cessive political rhetoric.
Millions of dollars have
been invested in the FBI's in.
of "racial matters."
But our study of the secret
files indicates that the investi-
gation has.. been heavily one-
sided. Only the most extreme
white racists have come under
FBI scrutiny, but almost?every
prominent black leader in the
country has an FBI dossier in
his name. Even congressMen
ad Nixon-Agnew supporters,
if they're black, are regarded
with suspicion by the FBI.
The list of black "subver-
sives". includes such apostles
of non-violence as the late
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King
'Jr., his wife, Corecta Scott
King; the Rev. Ralph David
Abernathy; Jesse Jackson, the
:handsome young "country
preacher" who recently
started a self-help group in
Chicago; Roy Wilkins, execu-
tive director of the National
Association for the Advance-
ment of Colored People
(NAACP); and L'ayard Bustin,
director of the A. Philip Ran-
dolph Institute.
The FBI has even zeroed in
on President Nixon's most ar-
ticulate black supporter, for-
mer CORE director Floyd
McKissick Jr., whose political
activities have been chronicled
by the FBI in a fat file.
Now director of the new town
of "Soul City," N.C., Mc-
Kissick made headlines when
he lambasted the Democratic
Party for failing to deliver "on
its promises." The Nixon ad-
ministration, he said, has of-
fered more than "just the
rhetoric."
Like many a white politi-
cian, McKissick has jumped
the political fence. For two
years earlier, he had called
Mr. Nixon "one of the nation's
leading proponents of 'Law
and Order ? Facist Style.'"
McKissicks words were duly
deposited in his bulging FBI
dossier.:
Secret Capitalist
Another entry, dated Jan.
13, 1970, is stamped "Secret?
No Foreign Dissemination."
One of the deep, 'dark secrets
noted by FBI agent Thomas L.
Beckwith was that McKissick
"has made several speeches
throughout the U.S. during
1969 wherein he advocated
black capitalism...."
But far more grievous, Mc-
Kissick, "in one speech stated
the Black Panther Party
should be supported."
FBI agents were also listen-
ing when McKissick at a black
bash in Brooklyn "commented
unfavorably on the fact that
1/-?11IN I L
-..117(
argets
this affair was held In a
church, since churches are
among groups infiltrated by
the FBI and Central Intelli
gence Agency which hold the
blacks diawn."
The federal Sleuths have
also been poking their noses
into McKissick's financial af-
fairs. States one entry:
"Floyd McKissick, it was
learned, had recently received
check Number 2666 made out
in his name and drawn against
the account of the Louis M.
Rabinowitz Foundation, Inc.,
in the amount of $2,500. This
check was subsequently depos-
ited to McKissick's account in
.the Freedom National Bank,
Harlem, New York."
Mrs. King's Finances
The FBI has also been
prying into Coretta Scott
King's finances. When a docu-
mentary film about her late
husband was appearing
around the country, the top
cops were busy counting re-
ceipts.
The movie's first run, says a.
confidential memo dated Aug.
5, 1970, "resulted in receipts in
excess of $2,000,000. By ar-
rangements made prior to
March 24, 1970, by Coretta
Scott King and officials of the
SCLC the receipts to this
movie were to be divided
equally between King and the
SCLC." -
The finances of Roy' Innis,
. ?,...
successor to -Floyd McKissick
as chairman of CORE, have
een meticulously catalogued,
too. And Innis's file notes omi-
nously that he has "attended
marches lb protest against the
War in Vietnam.... "
Ralph David Abernathy, suc-
cessor to the martyred Dr.
King, rates a file that would
choke a hippopotamus. The
FBI's investigators seem most
intrigued over his troubles
with his colleagues.
An. FBI informant, reported
on March 6, 1970, for example
that one colleague, Hosea Wil-
liams, "remarked to some as-
sociates he was rather con-
cerned as to the cool and no ?
ticeably distant attitude re-
cently displayed by
. Abernathy."
Black artists, entertainers
and sports figures, who speak
up for their race, are also sus-
pect. One of the thickest FBI
files is devoted to former
heavyweight champion Mu-
hammad Ali. Actor singer
Harry Belafonte and author
James Baldwin are kept under
surveillance, too.
The file on black comedian
Dick Gregory could be meas-
ured by the pound. Author-ac-
for-playwright Ossie Davis and
his wife have been investi-
gated numerous times. Singer
Eartha Kitt is quoted as being:
opposed to statehood for.
Puerto Rico.

By JAMES ROBBINS
"Imperialism strangles the
people of the world but the
people 'fight back."
Chanting these words as they
solemnly carried a bandaged,
bloodied "body", anti-war pro-
testors, numbering between 75
and 100, met with the Univer-
sity Board of Governors Friday
afternoon.
The _ demonstrators placed
what was characterized as "one
of the many bodies found all
'over the world" on a table
before the 13 governors, includ-
ing University President Edward
Bloustein.
Emotional scene
This Vietnam effigy set the
tone for this session, at times, a
sceoe of extreme emotion and
desperation as each side attempt-
ed to understand the feelings of
the other. The philosophical and
political role of the Univeristy
'during wartime as either an
education institution or as mere-
ly an institution of the State of
New Jersey was a universal
-question.
Earlier in the (*lay, the protes-
tors had issued .a list of demands
to the Board, and the afternoon
? session, held after the Board's
regular meeting, was for the
'purpose of officially answering
the demands.
The demands called for- an
.1 end to University relations with
v the CIA, the abolition of ROTC,
and end to Defense Department
research contracts, an end to
war-related stock investments,
and a publicized University
stand against the Vietnam war.
As for the demand regarding
the CIA, Bloustein said the
University will not "act as a
conduit, a communications arm
for the CIA."
Unacceptable
, They refused to accept the
Board's decision regarding
ROTC "in light of the fact that
ROTC is the cause of bodies like
this [pointing to the painted
student] around the world,"
according to Rutgers College
history teaching assistant Doug
Seaton.
Archibald Alexander, Board
chairman and former U.S. under-
.secretary of
six-part prop
just approved, saying that ROTC ?
will remain on campus but will
be given "E" credit.
"In other words, [the Board
means] no," said Roger Kranz
'72.
Alexander, answering to the
issue of investments with war-re-
lated industries, said that a
committee has been appointed
to investigate investments and
make recommendations back to
the Board within "two or three
months."
The crowd retaliated with
moans and groans of dismay at
this decision.
"Do you know how many
bombs are dropped and how
many people are killed in two or
three months?", one student
asked. ?
"Concrete gesture"
Lee Wiener, former sociology
professor at Livingston College,
asked the Board to make "a
concrete gesture in that direc-
tion right now."
The issue of whether the
University should assume a stand
against the war proved to be the
most controversial and emotion-
al topic.
Bloustein said "the Board can
and will not take a stand
collectively, although some of us
have already stated a position as
individuals."
Wiener, puzzled and visibly
shaken, asked Bloustein: "Aren't
you concerned that 30 years
from now you too will write
_
memoirs about how you were
personally opposed to a system
of oppression, but somehow in
the institutions you participated
in didn't do anything?"
Bloustein dryly reiterated the
University's position, saying that
"any attempt to take a position
officially on this issue will
destroy the values of free in-
quiry in this institution and
others."
Weiner then made a compari-
son between the stand taken by
German universities during the
Nazi era and with the present
situation.
"The difference between you
and l" Bloustein said, "is that I
don't think we're in the position
of Nazi Germany."

ther emotional tirade, condem-

dogmatism," and pleaded for a
"feeling for the human condi-
tion."
He then proceeded to shake
the hands of each Board member
in a symbol of mutual dedica-
tion in helping to end war.
Pertaining to the demand to
end all Defense Department-
related research, Alexander said
that the contracts with the DOD
are not for the purpose of
creating anything that "has
direct offense application."
The demonstrators 'disagreed
saying that anything related to
the DOD is related to war.
Alexander adjourned ? the
meeting. The protestors, picking
up the "body" that did not
move throughout the meeting,
chanted "Rotcee must go!
Rotcqe must go!" as the gover-
nors filed Out of the room.'

22 MARCH 1972
Antiwar unity
Signs of a breakthrough have begun to appear in the impasse
which has plagued the antiwar movement.
In a departure from their previous adherence to a "single issue"
stance within the antiwar movement, the National Peace Action
Coalition (NPAC) has announced its endorsement and support of
the April 1 demonstration in Harrisburg sponsored by the
Harrisburg Defense Committee. This action is one of the major
focuses of the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice (PCPJ).
The Student Mobilization Committee (SMC), which has ties with
perhaps the largest mass constituency of NPAC. the student youth,
while tneglecting thee April 1 action at its recent national con-
ference. has subsequently endorsed it and, together with NPAC,
has pledged itself tomobilize support and attendance in Harrisburg.
In addition. NPAC bas 'been emphasizing in recent months a
position which comes closer to support of the PRG seven-point
peace plan than previously. Specifically, they have responded to the
Vietnamese demand that the U.S. end its support of the Thieu
regime by going *beyond their "Out Now!" slogan to a call for "No
support to the puppet dictator Thieu; no U.S. imposed governments
in Indochina."
Simultaneously. the Vietnam Peace Parade Committee in New
York City, one of the key membership organizations of PCPJ, has
voted to support and publicize the April 22 mass demonstration
sponsored by NPAC. It is expected that constituent groups of the
Parade Committee will participate in the April 22 march and rally,
with their own slogans and banners.
Finally, the Interim Committee of PCP.' has decided to list the
April 22 demonstrations in New York and Los Angeles as part of the
spring antiwar calendar and to encourage people in both areas to
participate in these actions with PCPJ banners and slogans.
The political implications of these developments cannot be
underestimated. On the part of NPAC they reveal a new flexibility
and responsiveness to the general sentiments of the rank-and-file of
the antiwar movement. The support for the April 1 action in
Harrisburg is especially encouraging, since it reflects a hightened
sensitivity to the integral connections between the war in Indochina
and political repression at home. NPAC's support of Berrigan
and his co-defendants in Harrisburg indicates a revived willingness
to cooperate with those who are pursuing different tactical courses
in the struggle?in this case, to defend those who engage in civil
disobedience.
The new emphasis on the demand to end support of the Thieu
regime is likewise a welcome step which should go a long way
Iowa-As bringing the respective positions of different wings of the
antiwar movement into a closer harmony. The decision of the
Vietnam Peace Parade Committee is equally encouraging. Many
members of that group have very strong criticisms of NPAC's
politics and tactics, but the committee's, willingness to overcome
these obstacles to build the most effective antiwar demonstration
possible April 22 is commendable. Hopefully, this will set a pattern
for other constituent groups in PCPJ.The decision by PCP] to include April 22 in their calendar and to
encourage support of the demonstrations represents an important,
if somewhat belated, shift from a position which was encountering
strenuous criticism among the rank and file of the peace movement.
Unfortunately, this decision by the PCPJ leadership was preceded
by a number of statements and official mailings which did not list
. April 22 and which specifically declared that "PCPJ has decided not
to endorse" the 'April 22 actions.
It is time, we believe, for the rank-and-file of the antiwar
? movement to impose its will on a leadership which has, all too often,
defined the struggjc iwipijiip,w1y4stariag lams. TheZeksAt9wards

hope that more steps will be taken by both PCPJ and NPAC to
narrow the wide gap that still exists. With the dwindling clout of the
antiwar movement?and the rising antiwar sentiment of the
American people?the continued divisions in the movement have
become intolerable.
Paranoia
1
A dangerous, paranoid element has been introduced into the
differences that exist between PCPJ and NPAC, the two big antiwar
coalitions.
We refer to an article appearing in the March 11 Daily World
analyzing 'the recent World Assembly for the Peace and In-
dependence of the Indochinese Peoples conducted in: Versailles,
France.
"In a meeting like the Assembly," the Commicuist party
newspaper stated, "differences within a large delegation (mezming
the U.S. delegation) cannot be hidden and, of course, were known
to all. A general suspicion existed in the other delegations that the /
CIA was up to its familiar tricks, with its agents' planted to en- `I
courage the maximum dissension, an assumption that can never be
discounted entirely. The frustration of the Nixon administration's
external efforts to get the Assembly banned by the French govern-
ment or shifted far from the site of the Paris peace talks served to
increase a belief that the CIA or related agencies would press in-
ternal efforts to disrupt Assembly proceedings from within. Not
surprisingly, the Trotskyists and those linked with the National
Peace Action Coalition that they promote, who persistently
rejected unity positions and refused to accept majority decisions,
drew the most suspicion of carrying out a disruptionist role."
The inference is that NPAC is in the hire of the CIA. This kind of
stupidity?and admission of kiankruptcy in directing political
criticism at NPAC?can only harm the cause of antiwar unity and
peace. The Daily. World must be sternly criticized for ventilating
such scandalous and harmful rumors.
Paranoia-2
The Socialist Workers party is continuing to. spread poison
propaganda about fancied "deals" between People's China and U.S.
imperialism as a result of President Nixon's journey to Peking.
The March 17 Militant, SWP organ, criticizes the Guardian for
arguing that the presidential visit signified the weakness of U.S.
imperialism, not the strength. The Trotskyist weekly maintained
that the Chinese have decided to make an accommodation with
imperialism.
? As SWP "analysts" have done for weeks, the author of this
particular homily immediately established a context that is difficult
to refute with hard evidence: "Any agreements that were reached
(between China and the U.S.) will be kept in top-secret files for an
indefinite period." s
The hard evidence, it would seem, is locked up somewhere in
? Peking and Washington. How does the SWP know? Well, the
Militant daydreams, weren't the secret agreements made at Big
Three summit meetings during World War 2 kept secret for years?
? 'Such "evidence" plus a few quotes from the bourgeois reac-
tionary newspaper columnists Evans and Novak and a tortured
history of the Chinese revolution is the substance of the SWP case.
On these grounds, the SWP charges the Guardian with per-
forming a "disservice" for taking the "Nixon-Chou communique at
face value."
We did not, of.course, take the communique at "face value" but
"sought to analyze the objective conditions surrounding the Nixon
- trip and to interpret the communique in this light (see Viev. points

' OBERLIN ? Black and white students at Oberlin College
verbally clashed yesterday afternoon over the presence of
Central Intelligence Agency representatives on campus to dis-
cuss career planning with blacks.
"Up to now, your parents have been working with the CIA.
We want to be a James Bond too," one black student told 250
students assembled in the main lounge, Wilder Hall.
WHITE STUDENTS HAD CALLED the 2:30 p.m. meeting
to protest the scheduled 4 p.m. session between blacks and the
CIA. The whites argued against the presence on campus of an
agency they said was involved in sabotage.
The 4 p.m. session, on the second floor of the Oberlin Inn,
started a few minutes late, with about 35 blacks present.
- The white students, in a flyer distributed on campus, said,
"Representatives of the CIA will be at the Oberlin Inn Friday
(yesterday) at 4 p.m. at their own request, and will speak to
only members of the black college community.
' "The CIA are here with the full knowledge and complicity
of the Oberlin College administration, who consciously with-
hold the information from the college community as a whole."
THE WHITE STUDENTS maintained that the CIA's pres-
ience should have been discussed by the whole college commun-:
ity.
' Hal D. Payne. assistant dean of students, told the group
assembled in 'Wilder that the session with the CIA had been
called primarily to disseminate information about the agency
and not as a recruitment meeting.
Payne said he was contacted earlier this year by the college
placement office when a representative of the CIA. who for-
merly had a son at Oberlin. heard about the arrangement be-
tween the Black Caucus and the college to increase minority
enrollment on campus.
The CIA, Payne said, wanted to know whether Oberlin was
a place where it could begin a "conversation" with blacks.
Payne said he looked upon the CIA "as an employer and as
a bastion of the white establishment to which blacks have no
entry." .
FROM THAT ANGLE, Payne sztid, "it might be interesting
to enter into a conversation with the CIA." ,
"Any organization has the tight to appear on campus,"
Payne said, and "to deny the CIA would have been -a violation
of the procedures at the college." -, .-
In the intervening months. Payne recalled, there were very
fey discussions with thal.),..tut t!le agency made a determi-
nation of who would be involved and where.
Letters were sent to certain students, and a meeting was
held this week by the black student group.
That group. said Payne, concluded that while the black stu-
dents didn't respect the CIA and were Suspicious of it, they
were still interested in confronting the agency.
Payne said that because of his work with blacks, the session:
had been confined to black students, and concerneo how can
the CIA be relevant to blacks, and what the CIA is doing to
blacks.
? PAYNE NOTED THAT WITH the lack of a student govern-
ment, the central questiorr was whether an organization many
disagree with should be permitted to have a conversation.
"with some of us."
"If representatives (of the total student body) want to go
out and inform the CIA that the Oberlin student body at large
will not permit a conversation. I doubt?they (CIA) will persist
in seeking to meet with blacks who want to talk to them."
Payne said the presence of the CIA to talk to blacks was not
an isolated incident, but part of an overall program of many
organizations coming to campus to speak to one particular ?
segment.
He said he regarded the session with the CIA as one con-
cerned with the issue of eareer planning and not with that of
job placement.
"I have doubts about certain corporations relative to
blacks, but I would not want to deny the organization the right
to speak to blacks," Payne added.
ALTIIOUGII SEVERAL WHITE students expressed dis-
pleasure at the presence of the CIA on campus, the sentiment
was not shared by several blacks.
One black female student said the central issue is "whether
or not Hal Payne has the right to send out letters specifically to
black students dealing with problems dealing with blacks spe-
cifically and only."
'Another black student told the whites that the CIA had
"come to talk to blacks. That is our concern. It is none of your
business. We don't need your permission to talk to anyone.
"I would not have considered the CIA in the past because
the CIA didn't consider themselves as an equal opportunity
employer. The CIA is now an equal opportunity employer."

LI/lilts Needed on Government Survel
BY FLORA LEWIS
WASHINGTON?Sen. Sam Ervin
(E0-N.C.) is continuing his dogged in-
quiry into freewheeling surveillance
of private citizens and the damage it
can do.
Several government agencies, no-
tably the FBI and the Army, have
already been embarrassed by disclo-
sure of some of their unreasonable
investigations. So far, however.
there has been no effort to reveal
the other, just as dangerous, side of
the coin.
The passion for secrecy and t1-.3_ ?
film-script style of some government
operations have created an atmos-
phere where unauthorized people
can pass themselves off as federal
agents, recruit informers and intimi-
date opponents without challenge.
The TV show, "All in the-Family,"
reflected not long ago the social tur-
moil and doubt that even a trivial in-
quiry can cause in an atmosphere of
suspicion. Each man on the block
wondered what was wrong with the
fellow whom the FBI was asking
about, and what was wrong with the
neighbor whom the FBI man had
only asked the same question.
The disclosure of impersonations
makes it even worse. It proves again
the parallel to Gresham's law that
fancy can drive out fact where the
"habit of secrecy prevails. That was
what made the Clifford Irving-How-
ard Hughes spectacular possible, af-
ter all. It was Howard Hughes repu-
tation for being secretive that ena-
bled Irving to hoodwink McCraw-
Hill and Life, and the publishers'
knowledge of our ravenous appetite
for titillating secrets that made
them so easy to bilk.
When the daily news is a crazy
circus, who can be sure which is the
masquerade and which is for real?
In government intelligence,
domestic or foreign, the uncertainty
damages both the effectiveness of
government,and the .freedom of citi-
zens. This sorry situation stems
from a cumulative misunderstand-
ing of what a free country really
needs to know to protect itself.
Further, it is a misunderstanding
of what the secret police are really
about in a police state. Their essen-
tial purpose isn't to gather informa-
tion against possible enemies, but to
intimidate their people to the point
where they actually police them-
selves, avoiding foreigners, censor-
ing self-expresssion, hiding even
from their own hopes and feelings.
The legitimate purpose of investi-
gation in a free society is to gather
necessary information. A law estab-
lishing that Emit on secret govern-
ment surveillance, with permission
of the subject the test .of necessity
where there Is no question of crime,
and at the same time punishing im-
personation of an agent would
protect" both the citizen and the loyal
official.
Otherwise, you could get into -
trouble with your employer or your
neighbors because the FBI or CIA is
looking at you, or because somebody
who works for a collection agency or
a zany extremist group or even a
foreign government pretends to be a
federal operator looking at you or
enlisting your help. Secrecy breeds
fakery. ?

The CIA is currently looking into a
New York case where an unknown
man tried to enlist political infor-
mers, on the claim that he was a CIA
agent helping.to provide security for
the Chinese Communist delegation
to the United Nations. He has not
yet been identified, but the trail ap-
pears to lead to right-wing groups
eager to provoke some kind of in- .
cident that would spoil President
Nixon's trip to China.
Even if the false agent and his
sponsors can .be found, however,
nothing' can be done about them. It.
' is against the law to impersonate a
policeman, but ? .there is no law
against pretending to be a federal
agent. The problem arises "all the
time," according to a top official.
Such a law didn't seem necessary
years ago when federal marshals
wore badges and operated in the
open. Now there are so many secret
activities that often one arm of the
government doesn't know when it
? crosses the path of another agency's
operatives, and the ordinary citizen
has no way of telling with whom he
is dealing.
Daniel Schorr of CBS, whom the
FBI did investigate on grounds that
he was being secretly considered for
a government job, testified elo-
quently before Ervin's committee on
the insidious, unsettling results. The
committee is considering a bill to
ban such inquiries, where no crime
Is suspected, without the subject's
permission..
Almost by reflex, officialdom dis-
likes the idea. But the investigators

THE KING ALFRED PLAN
HAS THE DEFENSE
DEPARTMENT DRAWN UP
A PLAN TO CONTROL AND
ELIMINATE BLACKS IN
CASE OF A RACE WAR???
Since 1964 at the height of
the Civil Rights Revolution it
has been alleged by sources
in and out of government that
the United States has a plan
to take care of blacks in case
of a racial conflict.
Two facts of history make
this a matter of extreme
importance. (1) Hitler had a
plan for the Jews which he
proceeded to carry out at
Auswitz and Bueckenwald.
and (2) The U.S. Government
carried out a sweeping plan of
detention against ? the
Japanese during World War 2
and for no appreciable reason
than that they were
Japanese.
Blacks, therefore, had
better familiarize themselves
with any plan which purports
to take care of them in an
emergency resulting from a
racial conflict.
It is for this reason that I
have given over my column to
the printing of this plan for
your enlightenment and it
will be followed by my per-
sonal thoughts on the matter.
The plan is called the King
Alfred Plan after an Anglo-
Saxon King of England who
ruled around 844-899 AD.

In the event of widespread
and continuing and coor-
dinated racial distrubances in

Even before 1954 when the I
Supreme Court of the United
States of America declared ,
unconstitutional separate
educational and recreational
facilities, racial unrest and
discord had become very
nearly a part of the American
way of life. But that way of
life was repugnant to most
Americans. Since 1954,
however, that unrest and
discord have broken out into
widespread violence which
increasingly have placed the
peace and stability of the
nation in dire jeopardy. This
violence has resulted in loss
of life, limb and property, and
has cost the taxpayers of this
nation billions bf dollars. And
the end is not yet in sight.;
This same violence has raisedl
the tremendously grave
question as to whether the
races can ever live in peace
with each other. Each
passing month has brought
new intelligence that, despite
new laws passed to alleviate
the condition of the Minority,
the Minority still is not
satisfied. Demonstrations
and rioting have become a
part of the familiar scene.
Troops have been called out
in city after city across the
land, and our image as a
world leader severely
damaged. Our enemies press
closer, seeking the ad-
vantage, possibly at a time
during one of these breaks of
violence. The Minority has
adopted an almost military
posture to gain its objectives,
which are not clear to most
Americans. It is expected,
therefore, that, when those
objectives are denied the
Minority, racial war must be
considered inevitable. When

The Activities of the Central Intelligence Agency,

"Whenever you are working on a problem that the military is deeply interested in --
because It's affecting one of their programs . . . and you're not saying what they want
you to say, the browbeating starts . . . the pressure to get the report to read more like
they want it to read." .
(Based on a dispatch distributed by UPI
on October 3, 1971)
Victor Marchetti embarked 16 years ago on a ca-
reer that was all any aspiring young spy could ask.
But two years ago, after reaching the highest levels
of the Central Intelligence Agency, he became dis-
enchanted with what he perceived to be amorality.

In ihe spy business. He. quit.
Fearing today that the CIA may already have be-
gun "going against the enemy within" the United
States as they may conceive it -- that is, dissi-
dent student groups and civil rights organizations
-- Marchetti has launched a campaign for More presi
dential and congressional control over the entire
U.S. intelligence community.
? "/ think we need to do this because we're getting
into an awfully dangerous era when we have all this
talent (for clandestine operations) in the CIA --
and more being developed in the military, which is
getting into clandestine "ops" (operations) -- and
there just aren't that many places any more to dis-
play that talent," Marchetti says.
Running Operations Against Domestic Groups
-"The cold war is fading. So is the war inSouth-
east Asia, except for Laos. At the same time, we're
getting a lot of domestic problems. And there are
_people in the CIA who -- if they aren't right now
actually already running domesticoperationsagainst
student groups, black movements and the like -- are
certainly considering it.
This is going to get to be very tempting," Mar-
chetti said in a recent interview at his comfortable
home in Oakton. (Va.).a Washington suburb where
many CIA men live.
"There'll be a great temptation for these people
to suggest operations and for a President to approve
them or to kind of look the other way. You have
the danger of intelligence turning against the na-
tion itself, going against the 'the enemy within."
Marchetti speaks of the CIA from an insider's
point of view. At Pennsylvania State University he
deliberately prepared himself for an intelligence
career, gradua pravedFoo ReleaseR26131/03/04 ? CiltA-ROP80101yol
Offer of Job in CIA
Through a professor secretly on the CIA payroll
as a talent scout, Marchetti netted the prize all
would-be spies dream of -- an immediate job offer
from the CIA. The offer came during a secret meet-
ing in a hotel room, set up by a stranger who tele-
phoned and identified himself only 'as "a friend of
your brother."
Marchetti spent one year as a CIA agent in the
field and 10 more as an analyst of intelligence re-
lating to the Soviet Union, rising through the ranks
until he was helping prepare the national intelli-
gence estimates for the Whil.e House. During this
period. Marchetti says. "I was a hawk. I believed
in what we were doing."
Moving Op
Then he was promoted to the executive staff of
the CIA, moving to an office on the top floor of
the Agency's headquarters across the Potomac River
from Washington.
For three years he worked as special assistant
to the CIA chief of plans, programs and budgeting,
as special assistant to the CIA's executive direc-
tor, and as executive assistant to the Agency's
deputy director, V. Adm. Rufus L. Taylor.
"This put me in a very rare position within the
Agency and within the intelligence community in
general, in-fU: I was in a place where it was be-
ing all pulled together," Marchetti said. .
I Began To See Things I Did Not Like
"I could see how intelligence analysis was done
and how it fitted into the scheme of clandestine
operations. It also gave me an opportunity to get
a good view of the intelligence community, too:
the National Security Agency, the DIA (Defense In-
telligence Agency), the national reconnaissance or-
ganization -- the whole bit. And I started to see
the politics within the community and the politics
between the community and the outside. This change
of perspective during those three years had a pro-
found effect on me, because I began to see things I
didn't like."

Two fairly recent personnel shifts
at the Agency set off this specula-
tion. The first concerned Robert
Kiley who was the operations offi-
cer in direct charge of the student
activities during the 1960s. Kiley su-
pervised .the NSA operation, co-
ordinating the various fronts. After
the NSA was exposed, Kiley was
brought back to the Agency head-
quarters at Langley and made ex-
ecutive assistant to Helms, the di-
rector. About six months ago Kiley
left his job to become associate di-
rector of a new organization called
the Police Foundation which was
begun in 1970 on a $30 million
grant from the Ford Foundation,
"to help American police agencies
realize their fullest potential by de-
veloping and funding promising
programs of innovation and im-
provement."
The second personnel shift con-
cerned the resignation from the CIA
of Drexel Godfrey, who was head
of the Office of Current Intelligence.
Godfrey quit this job and in 1970
went to work for the Bureau of
Narcotics at the Justice Depart-
ment. Then he became executive
directm of the Governor's Justice
Cornmision at Harrisburg, Pa?
another recently formed ort;.iniza-
tion to help improve law enforce-
ment by giving grants to diiferent
local police departments.
While the Washington intelligence
STATI NTL
community may well be overly par-
anoid, the speculation is that these
new organizations are reminiscent
of the student fronts, and, more im-
portant, typical of Agency activities
abroad. The fact that two former
high officials left the Agency for po-
lice work simply adds to the specu-
lation. Moreover,-the CIA has taken
an increasing interest in domestic
police activities within the last few
years. In 1968 Chicago police offi-
cers received high-level briefings at
CIA headquarters in Langley and
were taken to the CIA secret para-
military training camps, maintained
in Virginia and the Carolinas. The
Los Angeles police are also believed
to have been visitors. All of this
was regarded as unusual within the
Agency itself, and there was expec-
tation by some officials that the
CIA would finally get a crack at the
student radicals.
But then suddenly the President
announced that all domestic secur-
ity work would be handled by the
Army and the FBI. At the CIA, it
seemed too sudden to be true. Based
on past experience, some CIA men
took the order as a go-ahead for
covert work. They say that, if the
Agency were to become deeply in-
volved- with the US police, it would
probably first attempt simply to
gather information, to create a sit-
uation where it could begin to ana-
lyze intelligence?on prison condi-
tions, radicals, police, the FBI, and
so on. Then it would attempt to
change the nature of the police
force, hoping to model it more
on Agency theories?emphasizing
such activities as counter-espionage,
shrewd intelligence analysis, etc. On
an operations level, one way in
which the Agency might attempt to
rationalize its increased domestic
activities would be to cite alleged
G70n8CliOn9 i)clwtr) radical vcups
and the Soviets Cf Chine, warning
of lucleawd uctivilica by Soviit es-
pionage, and under that ratioraliza-
tion increase its operations at the
secret US bases.

. In the basement of his home in Oakton,
Va., with dogs and children running havoc
around him, Victor' Marchetti wrote a spy
'novel last year. Today Mr. Marchetti and
:his new book "The Rope Dancer" are stir-
ring up 'havoc of another kind just a few
miles from his home, at Central Intelligence
Agency ? (CIA) headquarters where Mr.
? Marchetti was an official just two years ago.
.Today Mr. Marchetti is the spy "who
came in from the cold?into hot water,"
to quote one. of his friends. Now an ont-
:spoken. critic of the agency, Mr. Marchetti
a has _been traveling around the country pro-
moting his expose Of the spy's world and
crusading for reform in the CIA.
Mr. Marchetti left the CIA after a 14-
year career In protest over what he asserts
is its waste and duplicity in intelligence
gathering, its increasing involvement with
life military, its amorality, and what he
says now is its subtle shifts to "domestic
spying." ?
Reform, he says, in the entire intelligence
network :should 1;0- three-pronged: (1) 're-
ofganizing responsibilities, (2) reducing size
dered by President Nixon. Placing CIA di-
rector Richard Helms as overall coordina-
tor of national intelligence recently was in
?.part aimed at eliminating the waste in the
nation's $3 billion/20D,0110-man intelligence
operation which spans a dozen governrnen-
and funding, and (3) ex-posing the intelli-
gence community to more public control
and scrutiny.
Silence maintainc&
?
The CIA, in its turn, has remained custo-
:manly silent to the public attack. However,
one. former -top CIA official, who asked to
?remain anonymous, . agreed with some of
Mr Marehetti's points but disputed his main
.arguments.
? Since Mr. Marchetti began speaking out
several months ago, a major restructuring
in the intelligence community has. been or-
tal agencies. It Was also aimed at tailoring
Intelligence output niore closely to White
-House needs.
This reform and Mr. Marehetti's own criti-
cism come at a time when Congress, too, is
demanding more knowledge and control
over the intelligence networks. For the first
time Congress has ordered public hearings
on the ? CIA next year, and Mr. Marchetti

? "defection": "My discontent with the

[the CIA director] doesn't have the muscle
to make changes. The military influence in
many ways is the greatest single factor of
waste. They want to know more and more
and are responsible for Collection overkill."
To these two criticisms, the former CIA
official who worked close to the director
and who responded for The Christian Science
Monitor, partly 'agreed. "There is unfor-
tunately an awful lot of duplication," he
said, but added; "What is needed is tighter
control over the military [not the CIA]. It's
not a question of the CIA duplicating the
military, but of the military duplicating
what the CIA does. The President's reorga-
nization is a strong move in the right direc-
tion." ?
Another one of Mr. Marchetti's com-
plaints is that the traditional intelligence
work of gatherirtg and assessing informat
tion has been "contaminated" with para-
military activity. ?
A prime example is LaoS where the CI

says Mr. Marchetti, who worked in the CIA
as an intelligence analyst, as special assist-
ant to the chief of plans, programs, and
budgets, to the executive director, and

shifting out of the eIA now and into the
Army. "But in any case," he said, "the
CIA doesn't decide on this activity; they
are directed by the President and the Na-
-tional Security Council." If there is to be
reform in the use of the CIA, he argues, it
must come from the President's direction.
? ,While Mr. Marchetti is highly critical of
the CIA's paramilitary and .clandestine in-
terventions in other countries, he insists that
the real threat of the CIA today is that it
may "unleash" itself on this country.
CIA should get into domestic intelligence."
"Ridiculous," snapped the former CIA
administrator, and left this charge at that.
To reform, the intelligence network, Mr.
Marchetti says there should be a reorgani-
zation to limit the Defense Department to
the routine intelligence needs of various de-
partments -- Army, Navy, etc.
"Then I'd put the National Security
Agency under the control of the President
and Congress," elaborated Mr. Marchetti
-"Congress has very little knowledge about
what goes on. The Pentagon papers and the
way the Supreme Court acted strips away
the shield intelligence has always had. We
need to let a little sunshine in; that's the
best safeguard."
Laos example cited
The former administrator insists, how-
ever, that there are already adequate con-
t7015 through special congressional corn-
ittees which control appropriations and
military aftairs. "If you had the whole
Congress and. Senate debating these issue:i
in executive session, you might as weil

? Is the CIA :starting to spy on Americans at home?turning talents and mone
against students, blacks, others? That is one of several key questions raised i
a wide ranging criticism. A direct response starts on page 81.
'ELT-KE .arETZIC
The following was written by Edward K. DeLong of.
United Press International, based on an interview with
a Central Intelligence Agency official, who has re-
signed. The dispatch was distributO by UPI for pub-
lication oh October 3.
Victor Marchetti embarked 16 years ago on a career that
was all any aspiring young spy could ask. But two years ago,
After reaching the highest levels of the Central Intelligence
. Agency, he became. disenchanted with what he perceived to
be amorality, overwhelming military influence, waste and
duplicity in the -spy business. He quit.
- Fearing today that the CIA may already have begun "go:
ing against the enemy within" the United States as they
may conceive it?that is, dissident student groups and civil-
rights organizations?Marchetti has launched a campaign for
shore presidential and congressional .control over the entire
U. S. intelligence community. , .
-.1 think we need to do this because we're getting into
an awfully dangerous era when we have . all this talent
(for clandestine operations) in the CIA?and more being de-
veloped in the military, which -is getting into clandestine
"ops- (operations)-:and there just aren't that manyplaces
. .
any more to display that talent,:' Marchetti says. .
"The cold war is fading. So is the war in Southeast Asia,
except for Laos. At the mule time, we're getting a lot of
idomestic.problems. And there are people in the CIA who?
if they Aren't right now actually already running domestic
operations against student groups, black movements and the
like?are certainly considering it. ?
"This is going to get to be very. tempting," Marchetti
said in a recent. interview at his comfortable home in Oak-
.. ton, [Val a Washington suburb where many CIA nen live.
"There'll be a great temptation for these people to sug-
gest operations and for a President to approve them or to
kind of look the other way. You have the danger -of intelli-
gence turning against the nation itself, going against the 'the
enemy within.'" .
Marchetti smks of the CIA from an insider's point of
- View. At Pennsylvania State University be deliberately pre-
pared himself for arA
with a degree in Russ'
?
Through a professor secretly on the CIA payroll as a. talei
- scout, Marchetti netted the prize all would-be spies drea
of?an immediate job offer from the CIA. The offer cal

Marchetti spent one year as. a CIA agent in the field and:,
10 more as an analyst of intelligence relating to the SovietTATIN
Union, rising through the ranks until he was helping pre-
pare the national intelligence estimates for the White House.:
During this period, Mar-
chetti says, "I was a hawk.
I believed in what we,.
were doing."
Then be was promoted
to the executive staff of
the CIA, moving to an of-
fice on the top floor of the
. Agency's headquarters
across the Potomac River 1
from Washington.
For three years be
worked as special assistant
to the CIA Chief of plans,
programs and budgeting,
as special assistant to the
CIA's executive director, .
and as executive assistant,
to the Agency's deputy
director, V. Adm. Rufus
L. Taylor.
"This put me in a very
rare position within the Agency and within the intelligence
community in general, in that I was in a place where it was;
being all pulled together," Marchetti said.
"I could see how intelligence analysis was done and how it.
fitted into the scheme of clandestine operations. ,It also gave
me an opportunity to get a good view of the intelligence
community, too: the National Security Agency, the DIA.:
(Defense .Intelligence Agency), the national ?reconnaissance ,
organization?the whole bit. And I started to see the politics
within the community and the - politics between the com-
munity and the outside. This change of perspective during
those three years. had a profound effect on me, because 'I
began to see things I didn't like."
With many of his lifelong views about the world shattered,

If a man of his backgound and knowledge
fears such developments, then. it might
be time for all Americans to be alert
to the dangers. A police-type society is
contrary to all that America s;-nds for,
and one of the last things we want to
happen here. .
But it could happen here, and We hope
that the President and congress will concern
themselves more with this, agency which
has had, in the past,' singular freedom

Americans must continue to be aware

For-three years ne worked as special assistant
to the CIA chief of plans, peograms and budget-
ing; as special assistant to the CIA's executive
director; and as executive assistant to the agen-
cy's deputy director, Vice Mm. Rufus L. Taylor.
"This put me in a very rake poSition within the

WITH many of his life-long
views about- the world shattered,
Marchetti decided to abandon his
chosen career. One of the last
things ?he did at the CIA was to
explain to Director Richard Helms
srhy? he was leaving.
"I told him I thought the in-
telligence community and the in:
telligence agency were too big and
' too -costly, that I thought there
was too much military influence
on intelligence ? and very bad
effects from that ? and that I felt
the need for more control and
more direction.
"The clandestine atlitucle, the
amorality of it all, the cold war -
mentality ? these kinds of things
made me feel the agency was
really out of step with the times,"
Marchetti said.
"We parted friends. I cried all
the way home."
Marchetti, 41. hardly looks the
stereotype of a man who spent 14
years in the CIA.

MARCHETTI'S- first impulse
after?quitting the CIA was to write
a non-fiction account of what was"
wrong with the U. S. ? intelligence
community But, he said, he could
not bring himself to do it then. -
Instead he %orate a spy novel,
'a reaction to the ?lames Bond
? an British' spy story
stereotypes." which he says looks
at' ' the intelligence business
realistically from. the heardquar:
ters point of view he knows so
well.
The novel; "The Rope Dancer,"
was published last month. It is a
thinly disguised view of the inner
struggle over Vietnam and
tAlt?TrEwwitT?I,the
CIA,' the Pentagon and the White
? House under President Johnson.
' Writing the novel took a year.
Then came two tries at non-fiction
articles, one rejected as too dull
and the other .turned down as too
chatty, and a start on a second
novel. ? - ?
But Marchetti said the need lot-
intelligence reform continued to
gnaw at him, and as his first novel
was about to come out he came
into contact with others. who
agreed with him. including- Rep, STATINT
Herman Badillo, D-N.Y.
Now, Marchetti said. ? the sec-
ond novel has been laid aside so
he can devote full tin-to to a cam-
paign for reform. ?
? ALTHOUGH NOW" a dove,
particularly on Vietnam - which
he calls an ?unwinnable war to
"support ,a crooked, corrupt
regime that tannot even run an
election that looks honest,"
Marchetti Says he still believes
strongly in the need' for in-
telligence collection.
"It's a fact of life," he said.
"For your own protection, you
need .to know vhat other people
are thinking.
? "But intelligence is now a SG
billion a year business, and.that is
just too big. It -can be done for a
lot less, and perhaps- done better
when you cut out the waste."
For instance, Marchetti said,
the National Security Agency ?
charged in ?part with trying to
decode intercepted messages of
foreign governments wastes
about ttbalf its g billion yearly
b
? ? '
"They have boxcars full of
tapes up at Ft. Meade that are .10
years old. Boxcars. full! Because
in intercepting Soviet. (radio)
conununications, for instance, the
Soviets are just as sophisticated
as we are in Scrambler systems. It
is almost a technical impossibility
to break a scrambled, coded
message. .
"So they just keep collecting
the stuff and putting it in boxcars.
They continue to listen all over the
world. They continue to spend
fortunes trying to duplicate the
Soviet (scrambling and encoding)
computers," he said. .
"By the time someone can
break it, a decade or two has gone
? by. So you find out what they were
thinking 20 years ago. So what?"
MARCHE111 said at 'one time

. By Brett Sciaroni
(Second in a series)
A revolutionary film_ dedicated
- to the Communist guerrilla, Che
Guevara, was shown. at Hinton
Center and again at Fresno State
. College. over the weekend of Au-
gust 13 and 15. ' ' ' . ?
. ' I attended the showing of this
/
film. It was a documentary on
. t Argentina entitled "The Hour of the
- ,Furnaces." It Said that Cuba was
the first free country in Latin
America and called for unity in the
war against the United States.
The Hinton Center, which was.
, mainly built and supported with
: taxpayer's ? money, showed the
film on August 13. It was shown
at FSC on August 15.
The film was brought to Fresno
. by one .or the managers of the
Shanti Co-op Bookstore, which is
. . . . _
located a few block3 s?oth of Fres-
no -City College. He told me he
- 'hopes to use the funds received
from the Fresno State College
. showing to brine the second part
of the same film to Fresno. He
says the second part is even more
."controversial" than the film I
saw.
'
The Shanti Bookstore sellS rad-
ical literature on both violent and
non-violent revolution. The man-
ager said he ? believed la non-
violence, but that he brought the
film to Fresno in order to educate
.the people about - violence. How-
ever, nothing was said either before
or after the showing of the films
about non-violence.- The film itself
advocated revolutionary violence
' And hatred.
Although much of the film dealt
with poverty in Latin America. it
n r ?

-
was decidedly anti-American. The
United States was blamed for pov-
serty in. South America and was
repeatedly labeled as a neo-colonial
force. Even the Peace Corps was
seen as part of American neo-
colonialism.
The .film also charged that all
means of . communication. are .
controlled by the Central Intelli-
gence AgencytC,J,A). The Commu-
nist Viet Cong 'iV'el.1.-an as a
reaction against American imper-
ialism. The filth proposed that re-
bellion and organization for rev-
olution Was. the answer to prob-
lems in Latin America.
. The opening scenes of the movie
showed demonstrations and vio-
lence and it was made plain that
the United States was the cause
of violence in Latin America. The
---
film proposed that a people with-
out hate cannot triumph and that
a long, cruel war is necessary. The
film ends with a picture of Com-
munist Che Guevara after he had.,
been killed by the Bolivian Army:
As the viewer sees Guevara's?body
lying there, the narrator .calls for
revolutionary violence.
The film, "The Hour of the
Furnaces" is distributed by:. the
Third World Cinema Group of
Berkeley. Other films .offered by
them include interviews with guer-
rilla Regis Debray, Marxist. Sal-
vador Allende, and one of the Arab
terrorist organizations, Al Flitch:
After the filtn was shown, the,

tions to bring the second part or,
the film. to Fresno. Most people.
in the audience gave him some -,

Dossier Dictatorship,
To the Editor: .
There comes . a time Inr every na-
? tion's history When that nation must
begin .to question why it exists, for
whom does it exist, and what changes
are necessary in order to insure its
future existence.
As to the first two, the answers
are easily ascertained. But the latter
proposition requires intrbspection:
Within the past month there have
been a great many people talking
about the. impending danger of Gov-
ernment 7 sponsored secret organlia-
Cons and the. threat threat that., those
organizations . May have on the.
? stability .of America F.B.I.,. C.I.A.,
J. Edgar Hodier, ?k al.
Among those crying out in :the
wilderness are Michigan law profes?.
sor Arthur It. Miller and Senator Sam /
Ervin. They. have been crying out for
a long time, but only now are they
being heard. We are- coming danger-
ously close to a "dossier dictatorship".
as predicted by Professor Miller. :
? This new revelation has hit such
Individuals as Senator Ed Muskie, Rep-
resentative Hale I3oggs, et et. With
the recent "coup" on the F.B.I. files
in Pennsylvania, it bee.ame quite'evi-
dent that the trusted bureaucracy of
.J. Edgar Hoover has now turned upon
those who "march to the beat or a?
different drum" to preierve his future
and protect this country. ?
For example, Senator Muskie, Repre-
sentative Boggs and my former em-
ployer and friend Senator Hubert H.
Humphrey?no doubt because of his
liberal xiews on various issues??have
fallen victims to the lurking evil of
the "dossier dictatorship." Such activi-
ties on the part of the F.B.I., C.I.A.,
et ar., have a "chilling effect" on First
-Amendment rights. ?
Yet, despite the incantations of many,.
.people, the director of the C.I.A., Rich- V
ard Helms, tells the American public
that such agencies as the CIA.: are
'.'necessary to the survival of a demo-
.- crate society" and goes on to ask tho
:nation to "take it on faith that .we
%.too are honorable men deo ted to their.
service." .?
? Mr. Helms' reasoning Is tragic. It re- .
calls Lord Acton's historic warning on
power: "Power tends to corrupt and
absolute power corrupts absolutely.". ?
America must be. awakened from.
her deep slumber and realize ..the,
frightening nightmare she has. been .
having is a potential reality.?an
rninent reality.
We must realize that the Peters of
the country do not shout wolf for want
of a wolf: A wolf does exist .in the. ?
form of J. Edgar Hoover, the F.B.I.,
Army Intelligence, the C.I.A., et al

would lose CO per cent of their

the economy in general would shrivel.

ANOTHER P.EICHSTAG ATTEMPT'
The bombing of the Capitol building has all the
earmarks of a crude reincarnation of the burning
of the Reichstag three and a half decades ago.
Then the nazis on the verge of seizing power in
Germany, but lacking public support, craved for
some dramatic event to give them a boost. Hitler
boisterously proclaimed that the destruction of the
Capitol building was the incendiary contrivance of
communists.
Now the hawks in this country find themselves
ideologically bankrupt. The large majority of the
people believe that most of the high ranking mili-
tary, including the CIA, are war criminals. The
war mongers are in desperate need of some dramat-
ic occurence to give them a boost. The bombing of
the capitol is such an event. There are amongst
them unscrupulous agents assiduously striving to
shift the onus onto their political opponents.
The nazis, notwithstanding their unprincipled
use of power, were unable to secure the conviction
of Georgi Dimitrov, the Bulgarian communist
leader, whom they had singled out to be the scape-
goat. Instead, in the course of the trial, and of time,
the nazis themselves were exposed as the perpetra-
tors of the crime. -
In the course of events it will become clear that
the Capitol building bombing is the contrivance
of provocateurs with the perverse intent of dis-
crediting the peace movement. Thus instead of
vindicating their nefarious undertakings they will
become further besmirched and their effectiveness
still more eroded. It is time for the astute and patri-
otic citizens who love our country to stop this under-
handedness and prevent further loss of prestige
and the contempt of world opinion.

Approved For Release 20g1M/9474.CIA-RDP80-01
Incredible
The House has voted by a whopping 298 to
75 to give its Internal Security Committee
(formerly Un-American Activities Committee)
a record $570,000 budget. The vote also rejects
an Administration Committee proposal that the
sum be held to the previous record high of only
$450,000. This means the Internal Security Com-
mittee will receive more than many of the
traditional standing committees of Congress but,
of course, Chairman Ichord of Missouri assured
members that the group needed the funds to
investigate whether Communists directed recent
antiwar demonstrations.
Thirty years ago the committee was investi-
gating whether Communists directed appeals
for better welfare payments and New Deal leg-
islation. Today, the suspects naturally include
those who want peace in the world, civil rights
at home, or anything else worth demonstrating
for. Representative Drinan of Massachusetts, a
Roman Catholic priest and member of the com-
mittee, says such suspects add 700,000 names
of individuals or groups to the committee files.
Considering total appropriations for the sub-
versive-hunters through the years, the expendi-
ture comes to something like $13 a name. It
is a small sum, perhaps, to guarantee the nation
against the threat posed by some worthy causes.
What with the Ichord committee, the CIA, the
FBI, and the intelligence branches of the Army,
Navy and Air Force, not to mention the Secret
Service, many Americans will sleep better
knowing they are safer from subversion.

- What happened to all the antiwar protestors of yester-
: year? Well, in spite of what you read in the newspapers,
they're still around: Only they're a new breed and in
, many ways much tougher.
; I went, to an antiwar rally at the Washington Monu-
? ment the other day with my friend Dumbarton who
works on demonstrations for the Secret Service. Dum-
barton was dressed in dungarees, had long hair and was
carrying a guitar which was really a; very sensitive tape ;
recorder. - ?
When we arrived at the mall we saw five bearded stu-
dents carrying a Vietcong flag.
"Hey Dumbarton," I said, "they look like anarchists."
"Nah," said Dumbarton in disgust. 'They're FBI
'undercover agents. I saw them last week at Harvard."
- We walked around. There, were six students, all with
peace. symbols painted on their navels, sitting in a circle
i smoking what surely smelt like grass.
"Look, Dumbarton," I said excitedly. -"Communists."
Dumbarton shook his head in disgust. ;"They're from
the Naval Civilian Intelligence Unit. The guy waving the
photograph of Ho Chi Minh is really a Lt. Commander
in the Seabees."
' We walked away. Suddenly I said, "Dumbarton, we're
being folloived by those four girls In dungarees."
Dumbarton looked around. "It's okay: They're from
? the Air Force Intelligence Squadron at Andrews Field."
"But they're girls," I said.
"The Air Force always dresses their agents in drag,"
Dumbarton said. "They don't want their people to be.
mistaken for Naval Intelligence agents."
A fight broke'out amongst 50 demonstrators standing
near the speaker's platform. They were going at it thick
and heavy.
; "My God," I said. "That looks like real trouble."
"Don't get upset. Half the guys are from the Army.
Civilian Intelligence Unit at Fort Holibird.and the other
half are from the Army Civilian Intelligence Unit at the
Pentagon.
; ,
"Each outfit claims they have jurisdiction in Washing-
ton. You should have seen the brawl they had at draft
headquarters a few weeks ago. After it was over both
Odes issued body counts."
"Why don't the police break it up?"
"Most of the cops here. are from the Washington, D.C.,
Undercover Squad and they don't want to let on to any-
one who they are."
? The speeches began. One bearded student shouted,
"The blankety blank blanks are not going to push us
? around. We'll put them up against the wall."
"Have you got your tape -machine going?" I asked
Dumbarton.
. "What for?". Durnbarion said. "He's from the Internal
Revenue Service Intelligence Unit. I wish he'd get a new
speech."
- The next speaker was introduced as a Swede who had
just come back from Hanoi.

? "That's the CIA's man," Dumbarton said in disgust.
"They have to get in the act all the time."
? ?
AS we were listening Dumbarton suddenly froze. "You
see those four kids over there with the. 'Free Father Der- ?
rigan' signs? I've never seen them before. This could be
the real thing." He turned on the tape recorder in his
guitar .and we went over behind thein:
One of the students turned around, "Hey, Dumbar-
ton," he said in surprise, "what the hell are you doing
h&c?" ?
"Collins," Dumbarton said. "What are von doing
here?" ?? ?
? "Pm'. with the National Park ServiCe ;Anti Subversive

"You're the last person I expected to see here," Dum- ?
barton said.
"Well, it's better than fighting forest fires."

Dick Gregory said Tuesday night the CIA now conyolling
the government and is plotting for complete military takeover
?eVeTifirilly. He cited as evidence, some reports linking the CIA
with the assassinations of King and the- Kennedys. -
Piecing together "oonspiracies" has always been an exercise
in paranoia, but Gregory gave UM students plenty to' think
about. When you start trying to put together conspiracy puz-
zles, it's hard to stop. The Federal Government is a case in
point, exhuming the Chicago 7, the Seattle 7, the Oakland 7,
Angela Davis and the Soledad Brothers, and now the Berrigan
Brothers, in short order
One might wonder what conspiracy is keeping the flattest
foot of them all?J. Edgar Hoover?in office. If it were anyotie.
but J. Edgar, the actions and words of the man Would be.
enough to provoke .any President into shoving his lard-ass off
the scales of justice and replace him with a men whose interest
is justice. ? .
? Hoover hardly conducts himself with the demeanor of a high
federal officer. His speech is laden with invective racial slurs..
He has even felt compelled to assassinate the characters of twe
murdered American leaders, Robert Kennedy and Martin Lu-
ther King, and that makes one think again of conspiracy. Under
. Hoover's 'leadership' the FBI has evolved' into a .right-wing
politicized gestapo rather than, a laig enfordement agency.
..
Some of his latest insanity revolves around the Berrigan
Brothers case. The number one G-man revealed this insidious'
plot last November in a Congressional hearing. .
He said the Berrigan Brothers, both Catholic priests, were
planning to bomb underground heating ducts in Washington
D.C., and kidnap Presidential Adviser Henry Kissinger in an
attempt to force the government out of Indochina and intc
releasing all political prisoners. They' allegedly accomplished
this plotting, by the -way, while serving .time for destroying
draft records.
? First of all, if, there was a plot, Hoover disrupted any Intel-
ligence operations by blabbing in public. Secondly, if the Ber,
rigans are, ever hauled, into, court, the defense .coUld, move for
a mistrial on the grounds of adverse publicity:
Hoover cites as overt acts of conspiracy ?alleged messages
passed fronl Father .Phillip Berrigan to a nun outside the
prison, and a visit she supposedly made to the heating tunnels.
Of .course anyone who's ever watched Perry Mason can see
there's conspiracy afoot there. .

he has been a "lifelong admirer of Mr. Hoover and the FBI,"

The New 'York left-wing polit-ical scene is as tense these
days as a .er:rap under siege. People will not talk freely
on priaate. telephene-s. If a call, must be put through, the
? parties arrange in advance to -talk from phone booths.
The lawyer William Kunstler dares: not interview his
.clients . in his own office. For important client-lawyer
meetings, he sends a sccretaly out to rent a hotel room
under a esendonyrn. A friend was fouad recently shovel-

.nieeting is complete .unless there is a guessing game, in
which all participate, as to which of those present is the
actual -representative of the police, or other la-en-force-
rentorgenization. -
Not just in New York but all around the. country
people, particularly radical Left political people, feel some-
one breathing down their necks. In addition to surveillance
by the Fr,d, CIA, rmy Intelligence, .llavea Intellicence -
.and Air Force. Intelligence, there exists in almora everY
major city a supersecret department of the police, a "Red
Squad," dedicated to keeping all eye on the politiCal ac-
tivities cf the citizenry. San Francisco, Chicago, Buffalo,
Los Angeles and New Orleans have their police snobeers.
New York's Red Squad is called the Bureau of Special
Services. . .
- This secret branch of the police will not be found in
published official New York City records. Since the fiscal.
year 1966-67, the. Bureau of Special Services (330SS)
has followed the practice of its big brotla...re .the CIA, of
hiding budget infennetion in approprintions for other
agencies. In 1967, a payroll for seventy-five civil soy:dice

ure did not take into account moneys cepended on untold
numbers of police informers. ?David Burnham, The Nev
.York nines's lietcran police reporter, estimated that BOSS
e.xpended more than $1 million that year. Since then,
radical political activitY has increased in New York Cit,
and it is quite likely that BOSS's budget is now several
. millions. ?
The location of BOSS is as well hidden as its.finanees.

Buf while little is know4 about BOSS's money and
geography, some huportant information is available as
to its. activities. According to the Police Department Book
of Rules and Procedure's, Section 1/34.0, BOSS, a sub-
section :of ,the Bureau .of Detectives, ?has several 'func-

to maintain files on persons arrested or seizures made in
connection _with anarchistic or other- 'unlawful literature
[sic], and to conduct other investigations ? as directed by
the Chief of Detectives or other competent authorities.
It is )this power to "conduct other investigations" which
'makes Boss 'a. dangerous secret organization. For this
clause permits Red Squaders to tap telephones, infiltrate
political organizations, collect files, bug apartments and
offices, visit. people at 'their place of business to ask

It is nOt 'Unusual for. a government- .to deny any
!
success, much less. any reality, to a guerrilla move-
ment opposing it. Batista, for instance, let out con-
tinual rumors that Castro was smashed to smithereens
.'hen he wasn't, and the reports of Che Guevara's
death in Bolivia were greatly exaggerated at -least a
dozen times before the CIA -could deliver a corpse to
. match the story.
The pattern of obfuscation in the United States is
different. It allows for screaming and hollering about
the terrible violence that is comint, down on this
country, and then degenerates into alJlubbery debate
about whether violence, in general, is cherry, lemon ,
.Or lime or even American at all. Since the Adminis-
tration raising the issue of Violence is itself the, largest
practitioner of that -trade both at _home and abroad,
that would seem to give the boot .to the question: But
there. is a talented vice president on. the prowl whose
'opprobrious rhetoric keeps the confusion -alive by
speeches to Rotarians and other Bedouins and 'know-
nothings across the Gaza strips of the midwest and
.
southwest. . , ... . . ? _ . ?
Despite all the official and unofficial outrage at
. H. Rap Brown's assertion that violence was as Amer-
ican as cherry pie, the National Commission on The
-Causes and Prevention of Violence took some 350,000
. Words last year tO say that, in fact, was the case, and
that nonviolence" was not exactly in the mainstreamn
of how Americans got things clone. The only thing
new is guerrilla violence, which. has never occurred
in the United States before, but that revelation is
. apparently being saved for another commission.
. Thus the 'central reality of violence in sciciety has
become the new American cliche. But most people
. don't bother, to differentiate among the kinds of
? violence?right wing, left wing, government, crim-
inal, and just plain demented?instead they lump all
violence into one burdensome rock for this age where
Armageddon takes place on prime time. .. -
This tendency, promoted by the government, has
. delayed any declamatory awareness of the massive de-
velopment in the United States of the. Specifically
-calculated violence of modern guerrilla warfare. But
if the bombings continue this fall at AC current
hurricane pace, . it is - only going to takeesOmeone to
say it is so and guerrilla warfare will, become. a. catch-
word of the 1970's along with . women's ',liberation
and the mini skirt. Whether it will be as easily popu-
larized and assimilated is entirely another question.
While the goverrpent's semantic holding action
-against guerrilla War is already slipping, . it does re-
main true that certain realities, especially unpleasant
'ones, take a long time to penetrate the American con-
. sciousness? a phenomenon social critic : John Jay
Chapman referred to as the "habitual mental distrac-
tion" of Americans. it-, is now getting to: the point,
however, where it won't require the services' of a
computer to project a war out of the rapidly multi-
plying attacks of guerrilla terrorism and sabotage.
March of 1970, foi- example, was a typie`al month

actions against targets in 17 states, among them:
Selective Service Headquarters in Urbana, Illinois,
Colorado Springs. and Boulder, Colorado' were fire-
bombed. The Minnesota Selective Service Head-
quarters in St. Paul was...heavily damaged when
sprayed With. black paint in a freak sneak attack.
Time bombs were discovered at Army installations
in Oakland, Brooklyn; and Portland. .
A Post Office was dynamited in Seattle, the Federal
Building was firebombed in Champaign, Illinois,. and
a courthouse blown up in Cambridge, Maryland.
' Firebornbings and arson attacks caused. light-to-ex-
tensive damage at eight colleges and physiCal attacks
on buildings and security guards took place at the
University of Puerto Rico and Loop City College in
Chicago. During the same period, six bigh schools
were bombed and two damaged by arsotie
Guerrilla attacks against Police took plaee in Rich-
mond, Calif., Chicago, Billings, Mon Detroit,
Boulder, Colo., and Cleveland. Dynamite,lfirebombs
-and sniper fire vere employed in the actions.
In Manhattan, the IBM, General Telephone and
Mobil Oil buildings were bombed, and incendiary
devices were set off in Bloomingdale's and Alexan-
der's department stores. During the . Month there
were ly. bombing attacks against corporatidns and
banks in eight states.
The geometrit progression of such actions tells the
story: the 62 guerrilla actions in March, 1970 were
roughly double those of, March of the previous year
when 39 attacks took place against schOOls, federal
installations, police and corporations. In March of
.1968 there were only 14 attacks; in 1967 there were
four; and two such instances occurred in' March of
1966 and 1965. ?. ? ?
It is surmisable that the administration does not
require this magazine to tell it that guerrilla warfare
is going on in the country. It should not strain even
the competency of the FBI to uncover such shocking
statistics. But just who is going to :tell the people is,
something else. The government doubtless has its own
reasons for maintaining radio silence about the guer-
rilla war, but its semantics' at times become trained.
President Nixon, deplorinc,b violence in September in
a major addreis at landlocked, conservative Kansas
State University, went to- awkward extremes to avoid
the use of even the adjective "guerrilla". (except to
refer to the "Palestinian guerrillas," which was all
'right, apparently, because that was out of town.) In
describing American bombers and snipeit, the Presi-
dent instead Variously employed the descriptive labels
"disrupters," "a small minority," "destructive ac-
tivists, "small bands of destructionists," "acts of
viciousness," "blackmail and terror," and "assaults
which terrorize."
One reason for the. Administration's compulsive
evasion of the term is that it just sounds so bad. Guer-
rilla war psychologically is in the "It-can't-happen-
here" category for America. And the admission of
the existence of guerrilla warfare would prompt a

host of embarrassing questions, not the least of which
is why can't the government stop it?
The fact is that every branch of the federal govern-
ment with as much as a pinky .in law enforcement is
actively but furtively attempting. to catch itself some
guerrillas: The FBI, the Secret Service, the Treasury
Department, the Pentagon, the CIA and even the
.Bureau of Mines are all in on the chase. With all the
resources at their disposal to monitor and supervise
reputed, revolutionaries, it must be a matter of con-
siderable professional and political embarrassment
that the combined law enforcement, military, security
and spy establishment of the United States has been
unable to catch even a literal handful of the thou-
sands of underground revolutionaries who, now as' a
matter of daily benediction, harass the. government
? with sniper fire or bombs.
Guerrillas interviewed in the 'course of preparing
this issue found' it a matter of exultant amusement
that the government's intelligence system has turned
out to be such a basket case. The Pentagon ounter
.Intelligence Analysis Division has a subversive data
bank with 1.5 million names and even circulates a
kale red book entitled "Organizations and Cities of
Interest and Individuals of Interest." The Secret
.Service has indices of 100,000 radical names and
extensive dosiers on 50,000 revolutionaries pre-
sumed to be 'dangerous. If those figures have any
rational or scientific base, that is quite some draft
pool for guerrilla soldiers. The FBI has 194 million
fingerprints in its files and quick access to 264 million
police records, 323 million medical histories,. and 279
million psychiatric dossiers. it also claims to have an
infiltrator in a top position in every revolutionary
_group in America. Yet the nearest the FBI has -gotten
to the Weatherman is to hang their pictures in :post-
office galleries.

7 Washington, Dec. 16 ?in the
course of a &nate inquiry spon-
gored by Sen. Sam J. Ervin (D-
N.C.) the domestic siiying opera-
tions of Army intelligence agents
have been revealed sufficiently to
raise the question of whether we
are living in a police state and don't
'know it. , ?
Today in the Senate Ervin produced
the latest evidence of the- fantastic ex-
ploits of Army intelligence on the home
front. This concerned the surveillance in
one state, Illinois' of SOO individualsoin-
eluding now Sen. Adlai Stevenson 2d and
former Coy. Otto Kerner, ostensibly to
.determine -where they stood on the gov-
ernment's Vietnam and domestic policies.
Previously, Ervin has come up with
to far -unchallenged isoformotion showing
that the Pentagon's own sleuth bottalinns
were:ferreting out data of a similar kind
two years before the Nixon administra-
tion took over when Clark Clifford wa5

- There apparently were Pentagon spies
pushing pencils at the funeral of Martin
Luther King Jr., taking down the names
of all who were present, including
Hubert Humphrey. And apparently at
the 1908 Democratic national convention,
electronic gear was used by the same
spyboy types :to find out what was go-
ing on in the headouarters of Sen.
Eugene McCarthy, the bitter critic of
LB's war policies.
For those who find such Gestapo-
type activities' abhorrent in a free coun-
try. it may be a relief to know that
Ervin is going to hold hearings on his
discoveries in February. At that time,
Pentagon brass, uniformed and civilian,
ci
will be summoned to exillain why in hell
the Army thinks it has the right to use
taxpoyer millions to meddle in civilian
politics, spy on law-abiding private
citizens, and build up 11. secret file of
nonconformists.
In this enterprise, designed to restore

individual liberty and freedom Of ex-
pression as provided in the Constitution,
Ervin so far has been an unsung hero.
Some bleedinc, hearts are very upset
about the way bleeding
crusade hasn't
aroused people, especially as he wants to
turn the clock back to the days when
the nation was young, if not gay.
Tryll;g e Preserve Individnality
There is no question that Ervin's
heart is in his effort to keep the individ-
ual citizen from being simply a number
or a hole in a government computer
card. He deserves credit also for work-
ing to delay, if not prevent, the bureauc-
racy's determined effort to establish ?.a
data bank, containing under one roof all
the dirt available on the individual
American's private life.
And in addition it must he admitted
there is a sound case against Army _in-
telligence for trying to find out what
home folk are up to; instead of using all
its talent to find out what the Russian
and Asian Communists are up to.
But the average citizen should never
he awake nights worrying about what the
Pentagon espionage agents have learned
about him. His life is already an open
book to those who run the fedora] bu-
reaucracy. The Federal Bureou of In-
vestigation either has his fingerprints or,

THE FBI'S TOUGHEST FOE: 'THE KIDS
Face it, we're in what amounts to a
guerrilla war with the kids. And so far,
the kids are winning.
t was hardly the Administration's official
I line. Nevertheless, that stark admission
from a veteran Justice Department staffer
last week dramatically underscored the
increasing problems faced by the govern-
ment?and especially the Federal Bureau
of Investigation?in the escalating war
with violent revolutionaries.
The successful manhunt that led to
Angela Davis's arrest last week was a
rare coup nowadays?and even if she
should prove guilty as charged, she is
evidently not the kind of extremist whose
tactics and life-style now confront the
FBI with its toughest challenge. The
bureau's responsibility is, of course, lim-
mailed to news media around the nation.
At the weekend, the Ten Most Want-
ed list had expanded to carry the names
of a record 16 fugitives, nine of them
considered radicals. Included were Kath-
erine Power and Susan Saxe, 21-year-old
former Brandeis University coeds who
are charged with a bank robbery in Phil-
adelphia and another in Boston during.
which a policeman was murdered.
listed: Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee leader H. Rap Brown, who
dropped from sight last March; Cameron
David Bishop, charged with sabotaging
power lines to a defense plant in Colo-
rad6 last year and four young men in-
dicted after a bomb blast in Madison at
the University of Wisconsin in August.
More than a dozen other radicals, also
under Federal indictment, are being

ited. The FBI is an investigative agency,
not a national police force. The basic job
of protecting individuals and institutions
rightfully belongs to local and state po-
lice. But the FBI earned its proud repu-
tation by stalking and capturing a seem-
ingly endless procession of kidnapers,
bank robbers and cold-war spies, and
director J. Edgar Hoover's men have
nowhere as good a record when it comes
to bringing today's new-breed revolu-
tionaries to justice once the smoke of
their dynamite bombs has cleared.
Right now the bureau is hunting an
impressive array of leftist celebrities. In-
deed, within hours of Miss Davis's cap-
ture, her spot on the FBI's renowned
"Ten Most Wanted" list was assigned to
another female fugitive?Weatherman
Bernardine Dohrn, 28, who has been
sought for ten months. The nationwide

Weatherman's "Days of Rage" in Chi-
cago last October and various bomb
plots. Among them are Mark Rudd, a
leader of the rebellion at Columbia Uni-
versity in 1968, and Cathlyn Wilkerson
and Kathy Boudin, the two young wom-
en who disappeared after a bomb fac-
tory exploded, destroying a town house
in New York's Greenwich Village in
March. Another celebrity from the sub-
culture, LSD guru Timothy Leary, re-
cently went over the fence at a state
prison colony in California and vanished,
apparently with the help of Weather-
man radicals. And even Father Daniel
Berrigan, the antiwar priest, led FBI
agents a merry chase for four months,
popping up here and there for ser-
mons and seminars before finally being
captured on Block Island (NEWSWEEK,

Sidirrs From Liberalists
In recent months the Jackson
Daily News has carried special
-articles on the Black Panther
-Movement and its attempts to
carve out a beachhead to spread
its vile and violence in Mississippi.
..For our efforts, some well-meaning
but highly uninformed member of
the so-called liberal sect around
aJackson branded us as stirring up
racism and all that bad-mouthing
jazz.
Sakes alive! But this is all in a
'clay's work and we take the barbs
in stride trying our best to use
good grammar but not bad taste.
Anyway, nobody out there in the
big audience has ever had the
temerity to call the syndicated
calling Jack Anderson a racist,
bigot and ugly little digs like that.
Jack Anderson and his former as-
sociated, the late Drew Pearson,
were always totin' the flag of su-
per-sensitivity in behalf of the
-swell-headed and loud-mouthed ra-
dical minority agitators.
. In a recent article, Mr. Anderson
!wrote in part:
Those revolutionary rogues,
the Black Panthers, have mag-
nificently finessed some of the
nation's most high-browed in-
tellectuals.

The money has gone to unde-
mine the judicial processes
to promote racism, to spread

ons?hardly causes that good
liberals espouse.
All the while the Panthers
have accepted this liberal
largesse they have shown a
grand contempt for their bene-
factors. In the privacy of their
hangouts, according to the con-
fidential report of government
informers, the Panthers use
scornful obscenities to describe
the white liberals who raise
money for them.
They have joked roguishly,
for example, that they will use
the contributions of such emi-
nent Jews as Leonard Bern-
stein to do the work of Al
Fatah in this country.
And when Arthur Goldberg
put his enormous prestige be-
hind an investigation into al-
leged police persecution of the
Panthers, they ungratefully
called him every kind of a

Furthermore, money will be pfovided

program will actively encourage more

to stinnflate the movement of health

We have heard talk all during this
Congress that there were "new" pro-
posals forthcoming from the adminis-
tration, that we should wait and see.
Mr. President, I have been urged for
months to wait and see, that the admin-
istration will have a bill. And I have
been waiting. But it is late in the session.
The time for waiting is now past. We
can no longer wait for a band-aid ap-
proach for our disintegrating health
system that needs major surgery. While
the bill I introduce today is not the corn-
. plete answer, it is the best answer w
have yet come up with.
Mr. President, I have been on the
Health Subcommittee of the Senate for
nearly 13 years, up until last year under
the great Lister Hill as chairman. I have
listened to the evidence for 13 years. We
have talked to the experts, and we have
studied this question for years. Last Jan-
uary. when I became chairman of the
subcommittee, I expressed a desire to in-
troduce such a comprehensive health
? care bill. This, I repeat, is the best we
have been able to come up with after
hearing testimony from the ? people who
have worked in this field over in the pri-
vate structure of the economy, made a
? ? study of the problem, and come in with
" their recommendations.
? I ask unanimous consent that the bill
be printed in the RECORD.
The PRESIDING OeviCER (Mr.
? Basemow). The bill will be received and
appropriately referred; and, without ob-
jection, the bill will be printed in the
RECORD in accordance with the Senator's
request.
The bill (S. 4323) to create a health
security program, introduced by Mr.
Yaasoaotran (for himself, Mr. KENNEDY,
MT. COOPER, and Mr. SAXBE), was re-
? ceived, read twice by its title, referred to
the Committee on Labor and Public Wel-
fare, and ordered to be printed in the

ANNOUNCEMENT OF HEARINGS:
FEDERAL DATA BANKS AND THE
BILL OF RIGHTS
Mr. ERVIN. Mr. President, in recent
months, with the discovery of each new
Federal data bank and data system, pub-
lic concern has increased that some
of the Federal Government's collection,
storage, and use of information about
citizens may raise serious questions of
individual privacy and constitutional
rights.
The Constitutional Rights Subcom-
mittee has received countless letters and
telegrams from Members of Congress
and from interested persons all over the
United States, urging that hearings be
scheduled to consider the total impact of
some of these data programs on preser-
vation of individual rights.
I wish to announce that, in response to
these demands, the subcommittee has
scheduled a new series of hearings on
"Federal data banks and systems and
the bill of rights." The first stage of the
hearings will be held October 6, -7, and 8.
The subcommittee has already under-
taken -a survey of Federal data banks
and automated data systems to deter-
mine what statutory and administrative
controls are governing their growth and
what rights and remedies are provided
for the citizen. The analysis of the ex-
ecutive branch replies to that subcom-
mittee questionnaire, together with the
hearings held in the last sessionon "pri-
vacy and Federal questionnaires," and
the hearings which begin in October, will
assist Congress in determining the need
for a new independent agency to control
Federal data banks on behalf of the pri-
vacy and due process rights of citizens. It
has been my conviction that such an
agency is needed, along with new reme-
dies in the courts and other corrective
actions. I detailed the reasons for my
belief in a Senate speech in November
1969.
The purpose of the hearings is: First,
to learn what Government data banks.
have been developed; second, how far
they are already computerized or auto-
mated; third, what constitutional rights,
If any, are affected by them; and, fourth,
what overall legislative controls, if any,
are required.
Witnesses familiar with the constitu-
tional and legal issues, as well -as the
practical problems raised by some cur-
rent and proposed data programs will
document these for the record. The Sec-
retary of the Army and other representa-
tives of the Defense Department have
already been invited to attend the Oc-
tober hearings to describe how and why
the Army and other armed services have
collected and stored information on ci-
vilians, and to what extent the records
have been automated for easy access and
retrieval.
Prof. Arthur R. Miller of the Univer-
sity of Michigan Law School, author of
a forthcoming book, "The Dossier So-
ciety: Personal Privacy in the Computer
Age," has been invited to describe the
state of the law governing information
flow in- our society and its relationship
to legal rights. Another witness will be
Christopher Pyle, an attorney and former
Army intelligence officer, who has in-
vestigated the Army's civil disturbance
data programs, and has written widely
on the subject.
In later hearings, other representatives
of the executive departments and agen-
cies will be invited to respond to the
complaints and fears which have been
expressed bythe public. They will be af-
forded, the opportunity to explain ex-
sfactly what their data programs on peo-
ple involve, and how, if at all, the privacy,
confidentiality and due process rights of
the individual are respected.
The subcommittee has received en-
thusiastic support from specialists in the
computer. sciences, in both the computer
Industry and in the academic commu-
nity. We hope to receive the benefit of
their expertise for our hearing record.
Mr. President, our Nation is predicated
on the fundamental proposition that
citizens have a right to express their
views on the wisdom and course of gov-
ernmental policies. This involves more
than the currently popular notion of a
so-called right to dissent. Our system
cannot survive if citizen participation Is
limited merely to registering disagree-
ment with official policy; the policies
themselves must be the product of the
people's views. The protection and en-
couragement of such participation is a
principal purpose of the first amend-
ment. a
More than at any Other time in our
history, people are actively expressing
themselves on public questions and seek-
ing to participate more directly in the-
formulation of policy. Mass -media have
made it easy for large numbers of people
to organize and express their views in
written and oral fashion. Rapid means
of transportation have aided our mobile
population to move easily to sites of cen-
tral and local authority for the purpose

WASHINGTON ?.A 'former Green
Beret major said Tuesday his Boulder
publishing- house probably would stop
selling books on guerrilla warfare which
some claim have been instruction man-
uals for American radicals.
v" Robert K. Brown, owner and publisher of
Panther Publications, indicated that he might
stop selling such books as "150 Questions for
Guerrillas" and "Total Resistance" because of
.the "heat" he has received.
Brown, a wiry graduate of the University of
Colorado, bristled when Sen. John L. McClellan,
fl-Ark., attempted to label him as a knowing
supporter of revolutionary causes during the
Senate government operations subcommittee
-hearing.
Brown conceded that some of the books may
have been "misused," but heatedly denied that
the two-man publication house was set up to ?
supply training material for revolutionaries.
He repeatedly told McClellan that he was
supplying books to "guerrilla warfare buffs"
similar to Civil War buffs or World War II
-buffs.
'Gleam in Huey Newton's eye'
He said the business was established in 1903,
"long before the Black Panther party was a

gleam In Huey Newton's eye," referring to the
cofounder of the party.
During Brown's 60 minutes of testimony,
which kept the hearing room intrigued, he told
of helping to found a pro-Castro "26th of July"
group while a student at CU, making three trips
to Cuba 1958, 1959 and 1960. '
In 1960, he said, he became disenchanted
with the Cuban leader, and helped organize an-
tirevolutionary groups in this country.
In 1968, Brown re-joined the Army and
served 16 months in Vietnam, including six
months with a Special Forces unit near the
Cambodian border.
McClellan, who heard earlier witnesses call
Brown's operation a prime source of guerrilla
training manuals, read from several radical
publications which urged their readers to send
away for the 25-cent catalogue of publications
available.
Brown replied with a crisp "negative" each
time the senator asked if this was. done with his
knowledge.
He also said he understands "the concern of
the- committee and population that these books
are being used in a way detrimental to socie-
ty."
5,000-name mailing list

who answered the ads and got on his 5,000-name

! At one point McClellan asked, "Do you feel
that you have contributed to violence in this
country and building up of guerrillas in this
country?" _
tt, Brown replied, "No more than General Ma.
: tors in that the Black-Panthers can-drive Gen-
eeral Motors cars to do bombing. We do not
-vocate that our books be used for illegitimate
means. If we had no scruples we would have
run ads in underground magazines."
; Brown said armed forces personnel and li-
braries have purchased his books and empha-
sized that those buying them to practice the
guessilla trade were in the minority.
? Brown said he was not a member of any rail,
'e-cal group "right or left." He said the name:
Panther Publications was chosen because. he
eneeded a name in a hurry and thought of an art
? 'final that was "cunning and stealthy."
Brown did not tell the committee what kind
r of heat was being placed on him, but later said
that some magazines refused to accept adver-
tising for his publications.
. He also said he had been harassed by the
CIA and that he planned to publish "an expose
gertfnind incapability of the CIA in the Flor-
.- ida area."

Spiro Cancels The '72 Election
The memorandum is dated Marchql. -
It bears a government watermark, but is
headed "The Vice President," a form us-
ed by previous administrations. Agnew
uses stationery headed "Office Of The
Nice President."
Agnew said of the hoax:
denial is unequivocal, not only for
that (doctnnent) but for anything else
concerning that subject in writing, in
conversation or in thought."
Scanlon's editors defended the docu-
ment as coming from reliable sources,

NOT CONTENT with writing Vice
President Agnew off as a dirty old

criticism with criticism, some of his
. enemies have now stooped to a new low.
Fortunately, it's incredible.
It's described as a "confidential

discusses plans to cancel the 1972 na-

AGNEW ATTACKS
MEMO AS FRAUD

alleged "confidential memo-

Agnew's office with plans to

,? A_ CIA penetration agent?
This was the description, con-
juring up images of poisoned darts
and sado-masochistic enzyme
, cleaners, which playwright Don
Freed and attorney Luke McKis-
, sack used to describe James Jar-
rett, late of the LAPD and pres-
ently stationed in Israel by the
.Central Intelligence Agency, os-
tensibly to act as a saboteur.
(Jarrett has worked in this cap-
acity overseas prior to this case.)
' If 'it wasn't for the zealous ef-
forts of ten officers of the Los
Angeles Police Department in try-
ing to secure a conviction against
Freed and actress Shirley Suther-
land, , the fact might never have
(i been revealed that Jarrett (and
e possibly other LAPD cops) could
act as a CIA agent while on the
city payroll.
The Sutherland-Freed case has
proved a great embarrassment to
the police department and U.S.
attorney's office. From Oct. 2,
1969, when Jarrett tried to entrap
-Freed and Sutherland by planting
on Don Freed hand grenades which
he had personally stolen from the
, San Diego Naval Armory, to De-
cember, when ten LAPD willingly
? complied in breaking into the home
. of a private investigator for the
? defense to steal tape recordings
and papers, the actions of the police
have been concretely illegal.
almost could say that the
LAPD probably wasn't aware that
Jarrett was a CIA man,* Freed
commented to the Free Press.'
*Maybe that's being naive. Jar-
ret has been a 'hit' man?the
leader, of political assassination
teams?in Vietnam, Cambodia and
V Laos. He had worked for the CIA
In Latin America; He had come to
the LA police to help train the

(SWAT) squad, which was respon-
sible for the raid on the Black
Panther party headquarters last
December."
' Even when Jarrett was working
within the group called Friends of
the Panthers (now known as Lib-
eration Union) as an infiltrator?
even before he was proven to be a
cop of an3AppfoNedsEetRelease 2001/03/04:
? "Jam talked freely about at-
rocities he had committed inViet-
nam and his current life as a cat
burgle:, and gun-runner," recalled
Don Freed.
"His acting-out personality was
plain. To use the psychological
vocabulary, he has a allo-plastic
personality. Here is a man who
was emotionally battle-scarred in
Vietnam, and his sickness has been
channelled for the use of the CIA.
"Jarrett acts out with his body
an inner world of sado-m asochistic
adventures which fit exactly the
patter he has been programmed to
follow. This is the logical step
beyond drafting and brainwashing
someone in the army. Jarrett is
a victim, too, and his very exis-
tence demands an explanation.
There are thousands of men like
him returning from the battle-
fields; beneath their clean-cut
blonde exterior they are walking
schizophrenics?and monsters.
"When Jarrett was in Friends
of the Panthers, I maintained that
he was sick and should not be re-
jected. Jarrett ran tight, effective
self-defense and first aid classes.
He was skilled and patient and re-
vealed a helpful, friendly side in
direct contrast to his usual pro-
vocative behavior.*
In September, one of the young
women belonging to the Friends
was raped by reactionary Cubans.
Jarrett suggested that mace be
obtained for the women to carry
for self-defense. Freed agreed.
On Oct. 2, the day before Freed
was scheduled to go to New York
to supervise the Broadway open-
ing of his play, "Inquest; the
United States vs. Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg," Jarrett delivered a
brown cardboard box- which was
supposed to contain mace to
Freed;s home at 4;15 a.m. About
4;30, detectives arrived simulta-
neously at two homes, to hold guns
to the head of Don and Barbara
Freed, Shirley Sutherland and her
three young children. Don Freed
Shirley Sutherland were arrested
for possession of hand grenades,
and held on $25,000 bond to face
a ten-year prison sentence.
? When the case came to trial
Judge Warren J. Ferguson of the
United States Federal Court
dropped all charges in view of the
obvious entrapment. The U.S. At-
attorney, howeve'r, in an unpreced-
ented move, appealed the judge's
decision!
But even more colorful things'
were to come.
Luke McKissack, chief Southern
California counsel for the Black
Panther- Party, had been retained
by Freed and Sutherland for their
defense. In many of his celebrated
cases, such as the Sirhan Sirhan
defense, McKissack has retained .
the services ofprivate investigator
Mike McCowan.
McCowan comes uncomfortably'.
close to the mod-squad stereotype
of what a "private dick" should be.
He is a licensed private initestig-
ator, ? a lawyer, a ladies' man,
and' a Gemini. Being a ten-year
veteran of the police department
himself, McCowan accepted the
fact that one of his assistants,
Sam Bluth, was a former LAPD
officer who had been canned from
the force for minor infractions.
Apparently, Sam Bluth dug being
a cop to the extent that he would
break the law to get back in.
According to a Memorandum of
Fact submitted to the. court by
the U.S. Attorney's office, the
following facts came to light while
Sutherland and Freed were await-
ing trial.
On Dec. 10, 1969, Sam Bluth
visited the Venice Police Depart-
ment and conferred with a Lt.
Hegge. The content of their con-
versation (this is from the U.S.
Attorney, remember) was a meet-
ing that Bluth had observed where
Don Freed and Shirley Sutherland
had discussed James Jarrett.
Lt. Hegge sent Sam Bluth to
the glass house downtown where he-
laid his scene on Inspector Mc-
Calley, Lt. Loomis of the Internal
Affairs Division and Sgt. Sandlin
and Officer Vincent Kelly of the '

POLICE ENTRAPMENT
What follows is the disturbing
account of the way so-called law
i?enforcement authorities have been
. known to operate to harass dissenters
Lor simply those they don't care for. It
seems that a man and a woman were
arrested last October in California on
t charges of "conspiracy to possess"
and "possession of destructive
; weapons." The man is a member of an
anti-war group and a relatively
prominent playwright, the woman the
wife of a movie actor and the mother
of three children, aged two to nine.
Federal agents (refusing, to show
warrants) arrested the two in early ,1
morning raids. In the woman's arrest,i
agents kicked in the door of her
Beverly Hills home at 4:30 a.m. and '
ransacked the premises with,
automatic weapons in hand in front of
her three frightened youngsters. In
retrospect, it seems that the man and
woman were subject to official
harassment because they had been
active participants in Friends of the
-?Black Panther Party ? whites who
have held fund-raising affairs in aid of
the Panther's "Free Breakfasts for
? Children" program.

As some of you may know, at 4.30 a. m. last
October 29, federal agents arrested Donald Freed at his
home in West Los Angeles on charges of "conspiracy to
possess" and "possession of destructive weapons." Freed, a
member of the War Resisters
League and author of "Inquest"

case), has taught anthropology
and philosophy at colleges and
universities in California and is ,
active in Los Angeles theatre. On
the day he was arrested, his play

Panthers Try
'Liberation'
Plan in L.A.
1.05 Angeles Times Service.
Los Angeles ? Black
Panthers and the police are
fighting a battle in south central
Los Angeles that has shadows of
an international Communist
movement and includes the FBI
and CIA.
Siiihe Panthers say they are
attempting to "liberate" the
area bY chasing the police out,
then forming alliances with
nonwhite foreign countries.
Using the teachings of Mao
Tse-tung as a guide, the
Panthers have trained at least
100 young men and women in
guerrilla warfare, including
sabotage, handling machine
guns, hand grenades and other
weapons.
These angry young blacks,
who call themselves the '
vanguard of the "peoples'
revolution," already have am-
bushed two officers, according
to authorities.
And though the shooting has
subsided in recent months and
the Panthers are a small seg-
ment of the black community,
they still seriously believe they
can frighten the police away
from the ghetto.
At the same time, Panther
adherents charge that Police
Chief Edward M. Davis has
assumed almost dictatorial
powers, disregarding the civil
rights of the group, in his at-
tempt to drive them out of the
city.
. Police won a temporary vic-
tory last December with a
massive assault on three
Panther buildings and the ar-
rests of the party's leaders, but,
free on bail, they have
regrouped.
The Black Panther party was
created in Los Angeles three
years ago on the issue of police
brutality.
According to a member, the
Panthers hope to immobilize the
police by making them afraid to
enter the ghetto, then to make
south-central Los Angeles a
"liberated territory."
Some members report that
the overall plan of the party is
to create several pockets of
'Liberated Territories" across
the country and then form an
alliance with the Chines e,
North Vietnamese, North
Koreans, Africans and other
nonwhite people for mutual
protection.
Their part is to sabotage war
efforts in the United States if
the war is directed at any of
those people, Panthers say. The
Panther leader in exile,
Eldridge Cleaver, who was in
phone contact with Los Angeles,
is said to be negotiating for that
treaty with foreign countries. ?

strations in New York.
The street proof of the CIA funding
was the number of Cuban refugees ?
typically funded by the CIA ? foremost
in the demonstration, Peck said.
Peck addressed about 250 persons at a
meeting sponsored by the Women's In-
ternational League for Peace and Free-
iom at the Carroll College Union. The ?
teague is holding its 55th annual meeting ?
;his week at the college.

machine and to give the students an. op- .
portunity to mold the university into an
institution to serve the needs of the
country, Peck explained.
The young know you cannot end future
Vietnams, future racism and future eco-
logical problems if you do not alter the
institutions in the country, he said.
McGovern, liatifield, and others recog-
nize that and realize that if they don't
move to end the war in Vietnam, "the
ending of the war will take place on the
streets of this country," he said.

country must be prepared to prevent a
A couple of the leaders have used CIA -
funds in countries where the CIA played
a revolutionary role, Peck said.
On the student demonstrations, Peck .;
said when the students sh'ut down ,the
'universities to organize for movements ,
-against the war machine, the military
'machine will move to .use police repres-
sion against the resistance in the
coun try.
It is no accident people were shot in "
the back in Augusta and students were
at Jackson and the National Guard
'carried live ammunition at Kent State,.
according to Peck.
"This is no accident. It is an escalation 7
against resistance," he said.

military coup d'etat in the United States.
A military coup may be a new thing in ,1
this country, but if it can take place in A
Cambodia, South America, South and
North Africa, Asia and Europe, then it 4
can also take place here, he said.
The military has engaged the Rand
Corporation to study the feasibility of :
holding elections in 1972, Peck said. '
"I haven't a full report 'of the study,
but I know it is in progress. Just the fact 4
research is being done on the subject A
'1
causes suspicion," Peck said. ,
A cabinet member last week denied
such a study has been undertaken.)
Peck accused the United States of af?
feoting the coup in Cambodia and setting
regime to replace
, Sihanouk. I
: Sihanouk had kept his country free 1
( from the destruction of war but the Uniti
ed States could not accept the movement )
, of enemy troops and supplies, according
to Peck. i
1
: "The invasion of Cambodia was literal-
., ly'programmed by the coup d'etat," he
said. I
. Now the United States has forced Si-
hanouk and his followers to combine )
forces with the resistance forces of Laos::
and Vietnam, Peck argued. If Nixon
leaves Cambodia at the end of June, the !
forces of resistance will continue to Juno- .i

r Rolf Hochhuth seems determined to prove that "all idols have clay

Hitler. In The Soldiers he let go at Winston Churchill. In his new play,

'V drama, marked by the assassination of an idealistic senator by the

the club of 120 families who own
over 85 percent of the people's
wealth and to whom the two in-
distinguishable political parties-
and one of the few remaining
dailies in New York, the Times,
are subservient. The U.S. is the
one civilized land in the world
where no labor party to date has
even been able to put up a can-
didate for election to the House
of Representatives! Over a fourth
of the population lives below the
official "poverty line," while in
1968 forty times more money
was spent on armaments?that
is, for industry?than on the
poor. "True theory must be de-
veloped in the context of con-
crete conditions and existing sit-
uations," said Marx, and that is
what I tried to do in Guerrillas.
A.S.: You use Marx without be-
ing a Marxist, if I understand
rightly your Spiegel article 7Claaa
Warfare Is Not Over." Why are
your guerrillas Marxists?
R.H.: They aren't. In his system,
Marx did not work out the prob-
. lem of the opposition. Not the
least aspect of my guerrillas'
fight is the absence of an opposi-
? tion in the U.S. Both parties rep-
resent only the interests of the
' establishment.
R.S. : The student Left in Ger-
many acknowledges only those
systems of thought which are
built along Marxist lines. To that ?
extent, your play should have
little success in those circles.
: R.H. : Marx claimed that owner-
ship is the root of oppression, but
7 -actually the means of oppression
is power. If the state has sole
??? ownership, it has total power.
And super-power is always fas-
. ? cistic. What Marx .wrote about
capitalism is not false but merely
? one-sided. It was not as a capital-
- 1st that Truman dropped the
- atom bomb or as a monarchist or
? a Nazi that Wilhelm II and Hitler
wanted to grab the Ukraine; it
was not as a Communist that Sta-
lin had Lenin's fellow-fighters

powers can be humanized only by

A Scenario for a
Military Coup d'Etati
in the United States
by Edward Luttwak
Liteggly whos_youiare . C.B.
he Premise: During the recent open season for military
take-overs in Africa, more than fifteen governments were 4:;,? -
overthrown by "mechanical" coups of the simplest kind.
? Against the background of a totally indifferent population,
a group of army officers planned the coups by making partnershil
deals with the police chiefs and by arranging remote field exercised
for loyalist troops. In most cases, the execution was straightfori
. ward: at sunrise a few hundred soldiers seized the usual buildingg
and facilities, arrested the more prominent politicians, and dis-
armed the Presidential Guard. The leaders of the coup then issued
the routine announcement of a curfew, formed a Revolutionary,
Council and arranged a meeting with the representative of the
dominant ex- or neo-colonial power. Thus a new government of X-
I land was established, in due course to be anointed with diplomatic
recognition.
When most of the population is half-starved and illiterate, and
?
'political power is monopolized by a tiny elite, the constitutional
!apparatus of a legislature and an executive is mere "hardware,",
nothing more than buildings and documents. Both are of no con-
sequence to the vast majority of the population, which can only.
'watch without comprehension the new and mysterious political!
rituals performed by the elite. In these conditions, the brigade'
officers of a three-brigade army can almost always overthrow the
.government if the other two brigades have joined the plot or have
, been maneuvered out of town. The constitutional hardware is
!simply brushed aside, rating at most a passing mention in the;
routine post-coup communiqu?
In the United States, a simplistic coup of this kind could never
succeed. For one thing, the officer-plotters would have Ii, contend
j with the sheer size of the military establishment. The indinpo.nsable
monopoly over all operational forces within reach of WntibIngton.
D. C., is almost impossible to secure when the forces to be sub-
verted or neutralized consist of an Army of 1,500,000 men, a Marine
Corps 300,000 strong, and another 1,300,000 men in the Navy and
Air Force. Then of course the sheer size of the country and the
degree of decentralization make an occupation of Washington al-
most irrelevant.
But the main barrier to a COUD d'etat in the United States is
political rather than technical. Instead of an inert population whose
political role is purely passive, there are the hundreds of thousands
who operate the apparat, the millions who participate in its work-
ings and the tens of millions who understand, accept and respect
Ithe essentials of constitutional legality. Around the hardware of
IFederal, State and local political institutions there has grown the.
I"software" of attitudes?accumulated confidence in the system and
extensive vested interest in its continuing operation.
Since 1789 there have been many administrations but only one
iregime, so that for most of the population (including of course

plosives used by Cuban exiles
in the terrorist bombings of

In addition, the man who
masterminded the bombings to
call attention to efforts to start
a revolt against Cban P.
micr Fidel Castro had been
?trained in the use of the explo-
sives,by the CIA.
All of the bombings occurred
,at offices maintaining diplo-
matic or economic relations
with Cuba.
? This information was given to
the county'grand jury in secret
;session last month by two Fed-

and .; Juan ? Garcia-Cardenas,
both N and both from IVIiarni,
;on 15 counts of illegally pos-
sessing and discharging explo-
sives used in the July bombings.
The transcript, made public
yesterday, indicated the explo-
sives were given by the CIA to
Cuban refugees who were sup-
posed to take part in the abort-
ive Bay of Pigs operation.

Deputy District Attorney
:Richard W. Hecht asked Perez,
"Was Mr. Cornillot 'during this

sives?" ?
"Yes, sir," Perez replied, "he
said the explosives came. from

By our estimate, there will be one
policeman or soldier available for every
three persons attending the Democratic
National Convention. It is understandable
if delegates, alternates, guests and news
media personnel are not yet quite sure
whether that's reassuring or ominous.
Many of the visitors to Chicago will be
less concerned about seeing the olive
branch in the platform on Vietnam; more
concerned that it be in evidence on the
approaches to the National Amphitheatre..
This is the tenor of the times. The
United States and the world are in a state
of flux, struggling for purpose and direc-
tion. Things were kept under tight control
at the Republican convention in Miami
Beach mainly because a kind of no man's
land was created around it. Even so, there
was a riot in Miami itself that had to be
quelled during the convention.
Chicago's stockyards (from which, we
are told, much of the offensive odor has
been eliminated) forms something of a
buffer zone against trouble, at the Amphi-
theatre on one side. There is a 2,136-foot
long chain link fence topped with -barbed
wire along the west side. Even so, from the
time delegates and others attending the
convention leave their hotels, they will go
through at least six credentials checkpoints
before being admitted to the hall.

of the activity in Chicago outside the
National Amphitheatre could not be shown
on television because of the strike by
communications workers which barred
placement of vital equipment. This could
be a godsend to the Democrats if some of
the expected thousands of demonstrators .
for assorted causes get out of hand.
David Brinkley of the National Broad- ,
casting Company hinted some days ago
that confinement of live television to the
convention hull might be by design. Whose ,
design, he didn't say, but Mayor Richard
Daley and the Democratic National Com-
mittee are implied.
If the Democrats run true to form, they
may provide enough action on the conven-
tion floor to at least keep the American
public distracted from that greet
struggling, mass of humans and causes

men, Army units, the FBI, the Secret A

The only consolation, if this is to be
viewed as democracy struggling to red em
itself, is that it's still far superior to be
run down by Russian tanks.

The Demonstrators .
(Editorial Research Reports)
Opponents of the war in Viet-
r am will arrive from all over the
country to begin demonstrations
today. T h e Democratic National
Convention opens at the .Amphi-
theatre on Monday.
"Do we now take a look at
America, at this country where
freedom is the very keystone of
government, where free institu-
tions are our pride and joy and
where- the people, by virtue of
representative government, select
at all levels those w h o shall
speak for them, and then confess
that it is not safe for a candidate
for the Presidency to present
himself to the people?" ?
The mellifluous phrasing is that
of the Republican Senate Leader,
Everett McKinley Dirksen, but it
is particularly relevant to the
Democratic National Convention
opening in Chicago on Monday.
The Democratic parley will have
the moSt elaborate, security prep-
arations in convention history.
About 800 National Guardsmen
:will be on "regularly scheduled
drills" each night of the conven-
tion in nearby armories. Chicago
police will work 12-hour shifts
during the. convention week.
From 1,000 to 3,000 will be on
duty near? the International
Amphitheatre during the conven-
tion sessions.
A 2,136-foot long - chain link
fence topped with barbed 'wire
has been thrown up along the
west 'side of the amphitheatre. A
buffer zone is provided by the
huge eight-block area of t h e
stockyards, now mostly empty.
Cook County sheriff's police will
be available for emergencies.
More than 200 firemen, including
specialists in explosives a n d
crowd control, will be on duty
it .the convention hall. Inside the
anphitheatre, reports the Wall
STeet Journal, police and Secret
Strvice personnel will be station-
ed on a catwalk 95 feet above the
convention floor. Parade states
that Army units, the FBI, and the
CIA will be on hand. From the
**1711Trde1egates leave .their hotels
they will go through at least six
credentials checkpoints before be-
ing admitted to the hall. ?
John B. Criswell, treasurer of
the Democratic Natonal Commit-
tee and executive director of the
convention, on Aug. 14 disclosed
that the seating arrangement in-
side the hall will exclude the gen-
eral public. David Brinkley of the
National Broadcasting. Company
has openly hinted that confine-
ment of live television to the con-
vention hall might be by design.
Anti-riot equipment of the Chi-
cago police has been beefed up.
Some 8,000 additional canisters
of the disabling chemical Mace
were distributed to police. Even
manhole covers were sealed.
The coalition for an Open Con-
vention has been seeking since
July 13 to obtain the 100,000-seat
Soldier -Field for a rally on Aug.
25. The coalition supports Sen.
Eugene J. McCarthy (Minn.) for
the Demdcratic Presidential nomi-
nation. However, McCarthy on
Aug. 12 said he hoped his sup-
porters would stay at home rather
than come to Chicago to avoid
"the possibility of unintended
violence or 'disorder."
Hosea Williams, political direc-
tor of. the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference, on Aug.
11 called for nonviolent demon-
strations in Chicago. "I don't
mind a blood bath, because we're
bleeding in Vietnam," Williams
said, "but a violent demonstration
would give Democrats a free pass
to the White House."
The Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy,
SCLC president, went before tele-
vision cameras and walked the
streets of Miami on Aug. 7 to quell
a situation menacing the Repub-
lican convention. One must hope
for similar restraint in Chicago.

Convention Security
? ,,,curity precautions for the
Lemocratic National Convention
in Chicago next week are typical
of our times?and a sad commen-
tary it is.
Potential demonstrators have
been drifting into the city for days.
The anti-war forces will probably
be raising a fierce hue and cry be-
fore the first gavel ever falls. Even
If Senator Eugene McCarthy's en-
ergetic and youthful forces take
his advice and confine their dem-
onstrations to their respective
home towns, the anti-war strength
in Chicago may well be formidable.
Security will exceed greatly that
arranged for the Republican con-
vention in Miami Beach. The
President of the 'United States
didn't go to the Florida gathering.
Neither did the Vice President.
Some 800 national guardsmen
will be on "regularly scheduled
drills" each night of the conven-
tion. They'll be in armories close
to any likely scene of action.
From 1,000 to 3,000 police will be
in or near the International Am-
phitheater during sessions of the
convention. During the convention
period Chicago police will ?::c
12-hour shifts.
A chain link fen, feet long

it is no longer safe for the Presi-
