SURVIVAL PENDING REVOLUTION The ruling circle of this im- perfalist racist empire will not perish of its own accord, It is the cuty of the Black Panther Party to organize the people in order to rid ourselves and the rest of the world of this number one enemy. But revolution cannot be car- ried out by words alone. Never in the history of man has there been a successful peaceful re- volution. The overthrow of one class by another must be car- Tied out by revolutionary vio- lence. Until this stage Is achiev- ed, we must concentrate on the immediate needs of the people, in order to build a unified poli- tical force, based on the ide- ology of the Black Panther Party. Survival pending revolution is our immediate task and to do this we must meet the needs of the people. We have been doing this through our liberation schools, free breakfast programs, child care centers, bussing programs (People are able to visitmembers oftheir family in prison) and clothing programs. We will also now move forward to Institute 4 Shoe shop. ‘The shoe shop will consist of the making andrepair— ing of men’s, women's and chil- dren's shoes. ‘The shoes made will be distributed to our many centers to. be given away frec, while the repairs will cost a very small fee. During the two months search for a shop to be used, it became quite obvious from the many ob- Stucles set up by the pigs, that they intendedto maintain the rob- bery by the capitalists in our Black community, With the ef- forts and hard work of many people the location of the shop was finally established at 620 14th Street, Oakland, California, be- tween Grove and Jefferson Street. We now only have to obtain the necessary zoning permit needed for the making of shoes at this particular location, ased on the behavior pattern of this racist government in the past, we can however assume that obtalning this permit will not be an easy task. Only through thehelpofthe masses can we hope to carry out any of these programs which this affluent (wealthy )society neglects to supply us with. Instead they prefer to pacify us with handouts through the so called poverty pro- grams, Programs thathave been set up to benefit the very few that run them, while they lead people into believing the answer to all poverty and the racism we have been submitted to for more than 400 years willbe completely eliminated after getting a job. When the truth Is, based on the racist and capitalist standards which have been setup, more than 50% of our people could never be em- ployable, Until we are insured the basic human needs that will benifit all people, the Black Panther Party with the help of the masses will continue as In the past, to serve our many communities with rele- vant programs, in the true spirit of intercommunalism.

The Black Panther Party since its Inception In 1966, has been correctly teaching the people the many forms of murder being per- petrated against oppressed people of color in America. As theracist and genocidal practices of the ruling circle and their pig lackeys became more exposed they began viciously attacking Party offices all across the country, The re- Sults of these attacks have left over 30 Party members dead, murdered In cold-blood and many membersimprisoned. But these vicious attacks have only made the Party intensify its struggle to establish revolutionary polit- ical power among the masses of the people. To counter our intensified efforts the pigs have escalated their efforts to destroy the Black Panther Party and its organizing bureau, the National Committee to Combat Fascism. Tuesday, December 22, the pigs of Toledo, Ohfo, launched their latest and most vicious attack on the N,C.C.F. At 10:15 A.M, a fire was discovered in the home of James and Carol Lane at 225 Batavia Street, By the time the pigs from the fire department arrived the entire downstairs was in flames. Instead of investigating to see if anybody was inthehouse, they began to slowly connect their equipment and feebly atrempt to put out the fire. All the while Carol Lane was trying to inform them that three of her five child- ren were trapped in the front of the house. By this time it was too late to save Deborah years of age), her sister Linda (4 years of age), and their baby brother Mark (2 years of age), from being slowly burned to death. Before family or friends could assist Carol Lane, two racist pigs of the Toledo Pig Department forcibly and against her will took her to St. Vincent Hospital for treatment from shock, But the major source of shock, besides the death of her three children, was the fact that the pig firemen of fire station N. 7, made no effort to save her three children. In addition to this mental injury, she was treated like a criminal the pigs of the Toledo Pig Force, The reason for the pigs tlons are because Curol isband, James Lane, 34 years of age anda Korea War veteran, is a ded- icated community worker with the N,C,C,F, This brother has suf- fered continuous police harass- ment since he started function- ing with the N,C.C.F, He has been subjected to everything from illegal stop and search tactics to threats of death, All of these acts by the pigs falled to stop this brother's de- termination to serve the people any way he could, The pigs knew whose house ft was when the first fire alarm sounded and the address was passed over their communication network. Fire sta- tion No. 7 is less then 3 blocks from the Lane home on Batavia. It should have taken these pig firemen no more than two minutes to get from the fire station to 225 Batavia Street. Reports from witnesses are that it took therm anywhere from 10-15 minutes to arrive on the scene, These same witnesses reported 10-15 pigs from the Toledo Pig Department were also at the scene of thefire. In fact some witnesses said the pigs arrived at the fire before the firemen did. As usual these racist dog policemen acted as if they were preparing for a shoot- out. From the way they responded to the fire it is quite clear that they either started the fire or purposely and willfully delayed the fire department from coming to the fire. Both of these acts were attempts to kill James Lane, but instead his three children be- came Innocent victims of this sadistic plot. Two other children, Kevin (6 years of age)andGregory (9 years of age), are alive because they were not athome. James Lane was working in the N,C.C.F, office ur 1334 Dorr, when the fire started. The only eye witness, Carol Lane, was spared because she was inthe back of the house and was able to get out through the back door. During the time of thefire, James Lane's sister, Jean, and several other people tried totelephone the N.C.C.F. affice to reach him, but the telephone line was myster- iously out of order, so his sister came to the office nd notified him of the fire and death of his children, Whe james Lane and other N.C.CL\F, members reached the scene of the fire at approximarely 11:45 A.M., every piece of fire equipment and tiremer iwere gone, There was no fire investigation Squad, investigating the house to determine the cause of the fire. The pigs were circling the street in cars making obscene gestures and smiling. The meaning fs alltoo clear, the pigs of Toledo murdered three innocent children of an N.C,C.F, member as revenge for the gang-land style Gept. 18) execution of pig Miscannon who was killed by members of the — munity for holding out collection = money. The N.C.C,F,, along with many people of the Black community expressed their solidarity with the Lane family at the funeral services held 11:00 A.M,, Tuesday December 29, 1970, for the three Lane children. Many groups are participating, along with the N.C.C,F,, to raise money to help the survivors in the Lane family replace their possessions that were totally destroyed in thefire, This blatant example of racist and genocidal action by the pigs in Toledo, Ohio, is but one of many thatoccur each day through- out the American Empire's oppressed communities. In fact with the devastation caused by urban renewal and the actions of the pig police, it Is comparable to any city occupied by the im- perialistic American army in Vietnam, The pig of Toledo, will soon see that the oppressed people in this city are realizing their commonalities with the oppressed Vietnamese people and are learn- ing that an armed struggle fs the only way to deal with murderous aggression of the racist police. Just as the heroic Black people of Catro, Ill, are defending their lives on what is called the Battle- front in America, the oppressed Black people of Toledo, Ohio, have declared their community a war- zone and consider the Toledo pig force an occupying army, All future ucts of armed aggression will be met by the peoples; armed resistance (9 protect their very existence.

When the workers Inthe Bleck Community Information Center in West Las Vegas returned to the house on the night of December 19, 1970, they noticed thar the street lights in the neighborhood were out (except the Christmas lights in people's homes), However, directly across from the track of homes where the center is located are the Herbert Gerson Housing Projects and the Carey Park Apartments whose street lights were on, Later on in the night at approximately 2:55 a.m. on the 20th of December, the center ‘ nds later the helicopter flashed it’s lights on the Center ‘and the passing car opened fire on the Center. The next day people from the community came and told ‘us what they had seen, One of the residents told us that when she heard the shots, she went to her window in time to see two unmarked police.cars speed- ing past her house, Another resident told us that she heard the helicopter over her house and saw the lights being flashed on the Center, With this open atrack on the Community Information Center, the fascist-cowards of the Las INFORMATION CENTER Vegas Pig department have es- calated their genocidalrepress- fon in the Black Community, On the morning of December 21, 1970, the press was inform- ed of what had happened, Later on, the chief pigs of both the Las Vegas and the North Las Vegas pig departments told re- porters that neither of their departments knew anything about the shooting incident, and that it was just a publicity stunt put on by the workers at the Center. Well, we are making it clear thar we don’t want any publicity; we want our complete liberation and freedom, We stated In the s confab that we indicte the “fascist pig departments of Las Vegas for attempted murder without provocation, We intend to defend our homes, offices, and our lives against anyone who attacks us. From this day on, December 21, 1970, the coward dog police will enter the Black Community at their own risk. We know thar in order for us to live in an equitable society (utopia), Babylon must be fertilized with the blood of the pigs, We have no hang-ups about Revolutionary violence.

We, the poor andop- pressed, have the ability to cleanse the country of its corrup- tion, to break down all of the bar- riers that have kept us from the communities of the world in thought, in word, in interaction.

THE BLACK PANTHER SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1971 PAGE 6 “Bobby Seal's trial will be a test for young white revolution- aries. It is their turn to prove how clearly they can analyze the situation and how skillfully they can go about finding the means for action. ‘This, here and now, is the moment of truth-for Bobby Seale, for the Black Panthers, for young white Americans.” Jean Genet During the course of the last four years, the Black Panther Party has proven, by its prac- tice, to be the most Revolu- tionary organization to emerge and leadthe struggle in Amerika, They gave the movement politi- cal direction and showed, by , example, the correct method of analyzing phenomenon and mak- ing it move in a given direction. As white people, we had already been moving in support of the liberation struggles of other countries. Our main focus was Imperialism and a desire. to ‘ correct past mistakes by actively — opposing what we recognized as . Genocide on the Vietnamese. We a were hip enough to understand » that we had been Med to, ana " honestly wanted to deal with vy the realities of our lives and* a our history in order to get to the truth, With the emergence = of the Black Panther Party, we began to recognize the need to Support the struggle of the col- ete peoples right here in Panthers would probably eh easier time in their WE MUST SAVE We said that we knew that racism was bullshit and we wanted to prove to the Panthers (and all oppressed people) and ourselves thar we would fight with /for them. No more myths, lies or defini- tions could divide us-we really understood what had to be done and would do it-in order to free us all. We saidthat we realized that oppressed people have been tricked all through history by people who say they will help and then either sell out or chicken out in the end, Sut we were different, and we wouldn't do that =-we were too honorable, too in- telligent and too human, But we knew that we were raised with Mother Country mentality and that old ideas and ways of relating to reality are very difficult to correct and move on. But we've tried, and in alot of ways, we have proven that we've been Ustening and learning. We've been beaten, arrested, hassled and shot. We'veraised money to ball out alot of Panthers, led helped get Huey buck on the ‘Panther Party newspaper was _ always available to anyone and ‘Served as a means of letting everyone know what their ide- ology was (iow and why it was changing) and what we could . and should do in order to , build a socialist society. They “ didn’t keep their goals or the ; means they were using 4 - secret, and they didn't sit around : waiting for white people to give - » them the OK, =) They didn’t ask us if we : approved of the forms their 5 Struggle would take; they didn't hy ask us to help them define and figuré out the methods they should use; they didn’t ask us to “show them the way" as we've expected and demanded black people to do In the past. They just started making sure that people got fed, clothed, de- cent medical care, decent hous- ing, correct information and self respect. They didn’t ask our permission to pick up 4 gun- they recognized that necessity and moved on it. <All the while trying te have coulitions with white groups that were beginning to move in 4 progressive manner. For some of us, even though surprised and maybe disappoint- ed to see chat black people ob- viously didn’t need our super- vision, we said we respected what they were doing and the response was ‘Right On,"’ we would fight the cominon enemy cooperative- ly by showing solidarity with the Panthers and all oppressed ' people. Huey P, Newton was on trial for supposedly killing : 4 pig and our primary goal became to get him out of jail, streets, educated some people, bombed pig Institutions andgotten the power structure very uptight. By developing a new life style and supporting the liberation Struggles, we have helped take the struggle to higher levels. But ‘‘Somethng's happening, Mr, jones.’ For example a couple of weeks ago, there wes a mass drug bust of white radicals and hippies in New Haven. In one weekend over 70 people were dragged off the Street. This was the second mass bust (there was one during the Summer and bothtimesthey were effective, There was little or no resistance-people just Allowed themselves to be carted off without defending themselves. There was no community support. We have seen the correct examples Set by the Panthers again and again of self defense (Los Angeles, Philadel- phia, New Orleans, etc.) and how active support from the community Scares the pigs. As repression increases, we must intensify our struggle instead of allowing the pigs to set their example by quietly ripping us off. But this isn't happening- people are saying that things are ‘slow’ right now... Maybe its because we've been beaten, killed and jailed too now and that we're realizing the full implications of what solidarity means, so Bobby Seale isn't getting the active Support he needs from us; may- be it's because we're still racists who mistrust black people and don't care about one of *'them"’ being murdered; and so refuse to relate to Bobby as one of our leaders who we love so much that we won't allow the pigs to murder him. Maybe its be- cause class struggle looks pretty on paper but bloody in practice that we've ignored poor white people who the Panthers keep telling us to serve and instead formed an elite movement that serves itself but makes us feel safer, Maybe its because we don’t approve of the nature of Bobby's “‘torture-murder"’ case so that instead of intensifying the struggle around him, we're sitting back giving unconstruc- tive criticisms and super- intellectualizing about method, time and practice. Maybe its because we're just dumb and can’t correctly analyze what the pigs are trying to do to Re- volutionaries in particular and Poor people in general,so that we're a fragmented, factionaliz- ed, muddled and confused move- ment. There are alot of maybes. But for anyone who relates in any way fo the above quote by Jean Genet-we must find the answer to why a lor of white radicals are still debating about . whether or not we're willing to work until we drop in order to save Bobby's life. If the pigs are able to murder Bobby Seale, it means that we can’t save one of our leaders, it means that we can't save ourselves, Must we still sit around deciding whether or not we want to survive? If the pigs are able to manipulate and terrorize us into being like the Germans who watched while the Jews were massacred, we are without honor, conscience or human decency (part of the problem) and the Third World will wipe us out in their righteous Struggle to be free, because we will have stood silently by mak- ing sure that our own asses were safe. Must we still sit around deciding whether or not we want to jurvive? Every day the pigs move harder and harder and are more yiclous in their attempt to crush the spirit of the people and every time we hesitate, every time we vacil- late, we are helping the Baby- lonian War Machine kill a brother or sister who is fighr- ing for their liberation, If we were doing what has to be done- we would all be free, so what are we waiting for? ‘'The only thing that stands between the People and Paradise is the Pigs.” WE MUST SAVE BOBBY SEALE BECAUSE WE MUST SAVE THE PANTHER PARTY BECAUSE WE MUST SAVE THE REVOLU TIONARY SPIRIT IN AMERICX ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE FREE BOBBY AND ERICKA AND ALL PRISONERS OF WAR DEATH TO THE FASCIST, RACIST, EVIL, DECADENT, INHUMAN, INSANE PIGS Maddy Goldstein BLACK DRAFT RESISTER PRESSES BAIL FIGHT By Tim Wheeler Daily World Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, Dec. 25 -- De- nied bail and turned down by the U.S, Supreme Court, black draft resister Walter J. Collins has been spirited out of Parrish Prison in New Orleans and is now in Federal Prison at Tex- arkana, Tex., where he faces a five-year term. Collins, a staffworker for the Southern Conference Education Fund (GCEF) and also southern regional director of the National Association of Black Students was arrested Nov. 27 at his home in New Orleans on charges of re- fusing induction into the U.S, Ar- my. Federal marshals came to his home, handcuffed him and would not allow the 25-year-old youth time to pick up his toothbrush and coat, The Supreme Court on Dec. 18 refused to reconsider its ear- lier denial of ahearing on Collins® appeal, It will not hear arguments that it againreconsider the denial until some time after Jan. Il, when it reconvenes. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, who is justice for the U.S. Fifth Circuit, which Includes New Orleans, turned down a motion by Collins’ attorney for bail but sald ic was ‘without prejudice,” meaning that Collins can appeal to another high court justice. Carl Braden, SCEF informa- tion director, told the Daily World when reached by telephone at Louisville, Ky., that the SCEF will take the bail appeal to Jus- duce William O, Douglas, the only member of the high court who dissented from the court’s refusal to hear Collins’ appeal from his conviction. U.S. Solicitor General Irwin Griswold opposed bail for Collins and asked the court to Sive him time to prepare ar- guments. “They are our to keep Collins locked up,'’ declared Braden an- grily. ‘‘They are trying to keep Collins, and Angela Davis and all the black militants in jail.”* The Supreme Court rejected Collins’ plea the same day it turned down Angela Dayis* up- peal against extradition to Cali- fornia, David Gutknecht, Elliot Welsh and SCEF organizer Joseph Mul- loy, white draft resisters, at- tempted Dec, 10 to file a ‘friend of the court’ brief at the Su- preme Court here on behalf of Collins, They pointed out intheir brief that they too refused in- duction and yet the Supreme Court ruled in their favor and " freed them. 7 "We challenged certain injus- tices in our draft cases andwere © finally set free by this court,” — the brief declares, ‘‘but in view of the treatment given our black brothers, we cannot help but feel that the fact that we are white aided us greatly in winning — our cases.”" 5 & Gutknecht and Welsh pra that the Selective Service “is being used as*a means. repression and control"’ in black community. ‘*The number of young, black voices who have been su denly drafted when they spokeo against repression.,..can bee: Virginia Collins, mother of speak at colleges andhigh throughout Louisiana to org for 4 national conference D of Black draft counsellors SCEF points out in a “D Walter Collins’ leaflet that d Supreme Court has stubbornl ducked rulings on the appeals 2 Black draft resisters --Muham- mad All, the Wes cham= Pilon; Cleveland Sellers, and leader of the Student Noo Violent Coordinating Committ Fred Brooks, Nashville Black dent movement leader, and Simmons, SNCC leader, "The U.S, Supreme Court hasde=— cided 28 cases involving rights of draft resisters.

BAILS IN THE N.Y. 21 CASE REVOKED TO COVER UP SHAKEY STATE CASE The bails of the 9 incarcerated Qailed) Panthers were revoked by the fascist Judge, John M,. Murtagh, as trial resumed on the eh = floor of the -‘’criminal’’ courts building here in New York, The trial continued Monday, 28, December, with Attorney Char- les McKinney requesting the court to make a correction in relationship to the bail of one of the Panthers, Clark Squire, whose bail was raised by agroup, the’ “Computer People for Peace”. Clark's ball set at $50,000 in May 1969 was re- corded by some “mysterious"’ clerk as $100,000.00 This was Supposedly a “‘clerical’’ error; that the bail of Clark Squires was Set at $50,000.00, In an open court by 4 judge inthe Bronx was common knowledge, that Murtagh upon being presented with a new indictment by Asst. D.A. Phil- lips, in November of 19%9 al- lowed the bails to remain at the same sum Is also common knowledge. Ar that time (Novem- ber 1969) another Panther also on trial, Michael Tabor, had a $50,000.00 bail too which remained the same. On Monday, when Attorney Mc Kinney asked Murtagh to correct this clerical error, and allow Brother Clark Squire out on bail ($50,000.00 in collateral and cash) Murtagh denied any know- ledge of $50,000.00 bail being set for Clark Squire, not only this, he went on to revoke every- one’s ball, His statedreason was, “The defendants along with their attorneys were engaged in a conspiracy to disrupt and stop these proceedings, and their con- temptuous conduct was “ob- vious’’ or “‘manifest.’’ There- fore, not only did he not re- cognize any ‘‘error’’ clerical or otherwise in relationship to Clark's bail, but everyone now in jail presently on trial had their bails revoked (mostly bails of $100,000.00 each), and the four Panthers who were out on bail were threatened with re- vocation of their bails if any of the defendants and/or attorneys did anything in the “‘courts opinion’’ that was considered contemptuous. This meant simply that any- thing anyone might say, or do could be grounds for having someone else’s bail revoked or if the Attorney's argued vig- orously on behalf of their cli- ents others out on bail could al- so have their ball revoked, pon against the “One of the great contributions of Huey P. Newton is that he gave the Black Panther Party a firm ideolo- gical foundation that frees us from ideological flunkeyism and opens up the path to the future’? .....00...'* The correct ideology is an invincible wea- struggle for freedom and liberation,”’ This clearly points out the weakness In this case that has yet to produce any realevidence, where all names of items such as empty and partially empty spray cans are entered as evi- dence as ‘‘bomb parts"’ etc, and pictures of dynamite are used in lieu of real dynamite. Everyday it is clear, for all to see, the foul actions and collusions being used to de- prive Black people their free- dom and lives. Judge Murtagh used balls and the system of this class justice to cover avery basic issue; the mockery and fascism in his court, and he has taken the traditional class- _ oriented bail system, its use as the ruling class repressive tool to its highest level. For now bails are utilized as another means of repressing a vigorous court defense, On Tuesday the 2%h, the cold biting winds of New York seemed warm compared to the coldness in Murtaghs court. The morning proceedings were delayed be- cause one of the Panthers ontrial Michael Tabor, who is defending ‘himself did not appear in court, due to his being sent home by his doctor. Michael Tabor also called ‘‘Cetewayo"’-- has had a long medical history as an asth- matic. On this particular morn- ing he saw his doctor before pro- ceeding to court. His doctor advised him to get 24 hours bed restandgave Tabor medicationto relieve his asthma- tic discomfort, Tabor went home and the doctor called the courtto notify them of Tabor's condition and his advice. Due to a new operator and a break down In court communications, fascist judge Murtagh, never received this information or pretended not to have ever received it, There- fore when court convened Mur- tagh asked the Attornevs where was the ‘‘defendant Tabor’. Upon investigation they informed Mur- tagh that they had spoken to Tabor’s doctor who stated that he had seen Tabor and had sent him home with an asthma attack. Murtagh’s reponse was typical. He stated that he not only dis- believed the lawyer's excuse, but he did not believe that the doctor was telling the truth, nor did he believe Tabor was sick, Mur- tagh then revoked and forfeited Tabor’s $50,000.00 bail and issued a bench warrant for his arrest, Tabor called the court and despite his illness said he oppressor in our would come to court that after- noon in order not only to vin- dicate himself, but to Insure that Murtagh would not revoke the three other Panthers bail, who were out In lieu of $100, 000.00 cash. Despite being no- tified by the attorneys that Ta- bor was on his wayto court Mur- tagh would not stay Tabor’s war- rant, not even for a minute, Tabor arrived in court at 1:57 p.m. (court was scheduled to begin a- gain at 2 p.m.) and was im- mediately arrested in court, Murtagh sought to resume pro- ceedings - stating that he would “entertain’’ an application of re- instatement of bail for Tabor as soon as It was filed in writ- ing accompanied with a sworn testimony by the doctor himself. When asked if he (Tabor) was ready to proceed, Tabor told the fascist judge essentially that; he did not expect any mercy, charity or compassion from Murtagh, because his actions over the past 20 months showed exactly his true nature, character and atti- tude, That he was a ‘vile, foul, fascist pig’’ who cares nothing for others rights and tramples them beneath the boots of legal fascism. Murtagh at this point soughtto remove Tabor from the court- room stating, “‘Let the record reflect that the defendant Tabor will be removed from the court."’ Tabor responded that the record will reflect that he was not being removed from the court, but was leaving the court. With this Tabor walked out of court to jail. Court was recessed for the day. Court resumed Wed, the 30th as defense counsel attempted to move forward with Tabor's bail revocation hearing. They were told thar this would be done at the end of the day. With that the procession of various pigs took the stand, Bomb Squad Detective Gleason testified that he was called onthe morning of Jan. 19th 1969, to the 24th Precinct on 100th Street In Manhattan, as reportedly there was a bomb found at this location, Gleason Said that after examining the bomb he determined that it was of the same material he had used to substitute for real dyna- mite allegedly stolen from a Tenant Rights Office where afew of the Panthers now on trial were supposed to be working. This theft of alleged dynamite was supposed to have been carried out by a nigger pig agent who, coin- cidently, was the supervisor of the Tenant Rights Organization, the Elsmere Tenants Council’ in the Bronx. The agents name is Ralph While. Pig Detective Gleason also testified that he sprinkled flour- escent powder on the false *‘sub- stitute’ dynamite composed of clay and oatmeal, Thus, the sup- posed bomb entered into evidence was not real dynamite, but dried hard pleces of clay. Identification of this evidence proved to be even more absurd than the evidence itself. Pig Gleason used an ultra-violet Qbluck) light flashed on to the dried bits of clay in order to substantiate his claim, Of course the clay being light gray incolor THE BLACK PANTHER SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1971 PAGE 7 WE WANT FREEDOM-FOR ALL BLACK MEN HELD IN FEDERAL, STATE, COUNTY AND CITY PRISONS AND JAILS glowed. Anyone familiar with black light knows that anything White or light in color will glow when subjected to ultra-violet light. This Is seen time and time again when one enters a dis- coteque and has a white or light colored shirt, although it may be dark inside light colored ma- terial glows like a beacon, Even the lint on a sweater shows up glowing. Peculiar that Gleason had on a dark colored shirt, or is it? Even one of the jurors who had a white tee-shirt became a glow as Gleason pointed the light in his direction. The pro- secution exhibition was quite transparent to everyone except the pig press. Gleason went on to theorize on how to make bombs out of various things, such as sulphury (the type used as a laxative) and Mennen spray cans- At the end of the day pig Murtagh oinked to the crowded court- room a ‘Happy New Year"? and was met with appropriate boos, hisses and jeers from the peo- ple. Singling out one young woman, Laura Newman, Murtagh held her in contempt and placed her in jall with a $250, fine. Then he told the “‘defendant’' Richard Moore to remaln and proceeded to deny Tabor’s bail appeal un- til ‘his conduct’’ improved, He then proceeded to state that the defendant Richard Moore's bail of $100,000. was also revoked and that Moore be placed in jall immediately. Attorney Left- court rose to his feet and ar- gued on behalf of Moore, stating that Moore had not said a word all day, neither has he ever been absent from court, nor did the judge have any reasons to cite Moore for any contemp- tuous actions, Murtagh at this point used Moore's bail along with Tabor’s in order to save face,” Using ball as a lever to gain conces- sions from the lawyers and de- fendants he said, ‘’That when Attorneys give their word that they will not act In a contemp- tuous manner then he wouldcon- sider reinstating Moore's bail. He also stated that he would only accept such a statement ac- companied with simialiar os- surances by defendants, Attorney Leftcourt along with other counsels stated that they had at no time In the past ever consciously acted in conterptof court and to say they will re- frain from doing so in the future was in fact an admission that they had done so in the past. Murtagh then modified his state- ment to imply that all he wanted was an assurance not a confes- sion, The Attorneys of course replied that they have always acted in the best interest of their clients andnever committed con- tempt to their knowledge, and therefore could make such state- ments with a clear concience. Murtagh allowed the Attorneys to confer with the defendants and they too admitted through their Attorneys that they had no desire to act in contempt, but only to stand on their rights. Murtagh accepted this, only to avoid col- Msion that he could not afford and save face. But of defendant Tabor he demanded an abject apology which Tabor refused to give due to the fact that it was he who was unjustly jailed for being sick, Court was recessed until Mon- day, the 4th of January 1971, Michael Tabor fs still in jail, the 9 other Panthers have been in jail for 21 months, and if lefe to Murtagh they will stay there although there is no évidence to justify this, But in the final analysis {it is not left up to Murtagh, but the people not only here in the Community of Ameri- ca but the Communities of the World who will free not only the *2I', but all our brothers and sisters who are incarcerated il- legally in jails all over this fascist Community, » Free the 21 Richard’ Dharuba*’’ Moore THE BLACK PANTHER SA TURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1971 PAGE 8 BROTHERS IN NEW YORK STATE * CONCENTRATION CAMP FORM THE JONATHAN P.

Sentencing is now scheduled for January 25 and the defendant faces 4 possible 5 years in prison and $10,000 on each count. An appeal is planned to the U.S, Court of Appeals. The charges derive from an incident which took place in the summer of 1968, when Farinas attempted to distribute leaflets opposing the war in Vietnam to his fellow inductees, He was charged on five counts, three of which were consolidated into one, charging failure to cease and desist from speaking, dis- tributing leaflets, and unruly and boisterous behavior. The other two charges were hindering and interfering with the Selective Service System and refusal to report and submit for induction. At the time of the Incident Farinas was a member of the Progressive Labor Party. He is now a supporter of the Workers League. The Juan Farinas Defense Committee was formed on Oc- tober 23, 1970 in order to fight back against these charges. In its founding statement the Com- mittee termed the charges an atrack on democratic rights and @ political attack by the govern- ment against workers, youth and minority peoples. The Committee has fought to obtain the best to fight back politically by mobilizing the largest possible support from the trade union, students, and the anti-war, black andChicano move- ments. This fight has just begun. The trial began on December 1th, On that morning a demonstration of 100 supporters of Farinas took Place outside the Federal] Court- house in Foley Square in New York. Taking part in the dem- onstration were members and Supporters of the Puerto Rican Students Union, the American Servicemen’s Union, the Workers League, the Columbia-Presbyte- rian Hospital Coalition Against War, Racism and Repression, the Social Services Employees Union-Local 371 of State, County and Municipal Employees, the Spartacist League, Vanguard Newsletter and students from campuses al] over the city. Speakers at the demonstration and picket line included [Li cy St. John of the Workers League, Helena Farinas, the wife of defendant and a hospital worjer and member of Local 1199, a spokesman for tit PRSU, and Dennis Cribben of the SSEU Coin- mittee for New Leadership, and Jon Rothschild, a striking taxi driver and member of the Socialist Workers Party The demonstrators chanted: U.S, Out of Vietnarn, Fre: juan Farinas; US. Ourof Vie:nam, Out of Puert) Rico; Free Juan, Jail Nixon and the Judges; Free we Panthers, Hands off the Unions. The choosing of & jury took severa] hours. Many potential jurors were excluded on the basis of their youth or possible oppos!- dion to the wir and sympatity for the defendant, The prosecution called four witnesses. Two of the main pro- Secition witnesses contradicted points. One claimed that there was no regulation against leafleting inthe fadoction center, while the other claimed that there was. They acknowledged that they saw the defendant with leaflets but made » attempt to stop him. These witnesses also attempted to say that the defendant had behaved in 4 boisterous and disr iptive man- ner, However on cross ecamina- tion, both were forced to acknow- ledge that there was absolutelyno disruption of any kind, that the induction process at all times was proceeding smoothly, and that ir was never necessary t call either the police or MPs to deal with the situation. Farinas had sought this Interview in order to inform the authorities on his reason for withdrawing his signa- ture from a security question- naire filed at the time of his pre-induction physical. The fa- telligence officer falsely stated that Farinas sald he would re- fuse to serve in the armed forces and that he wo.ld ->:a mi: actions against the army. This witness had to ‘refresh his memory" on several occasions by looking at the typewritten report of his interview with Farinas The defense case sought to bring out Farinas’ intentions in distributing 4 leaflet explaining his opposition to the wer The defendant cliallenged the prose- cution’s assertion that he had raised his voice or had beendis- orderly at any time. He also testified that not only had he not said he wouldrefuse induction, he had repeatedly informed the authorities that he would not re- fuse, but he would also take full advantage of his constitutional rights to oppose the war, to speak out against it and to fight along with his fellow GIs against the war, Testifying for the defense and corroborating Farinas assertion that he was not refusing but was intending to go in on the day of induction, were three witnesses. These included Helena Farinas, a hospital worker; John Ortiz, an auto worker; and Enid Osten, a welfare case worker, On cross examination the pro- secutor read asection of the leaf- let which Farinas had distributed, one another on several in w! he used the words, ‘'l ref fight..."" Farinas ex- plai that his aim was 4 political fight, and not just against the war in Vietnam, He said ‘There is a war going on out- side, and in this courtroom as well, I rake sides in this war, with the auto workers, the rail workers, the postal workers and all those fighting the bosses."’ The prosecutor then asked, ‘* You take sides with those who suit you?’ Farinas answered, ‘Of course.”" In his summation the defense attorney, Sanford Katz, pointed our the weakness of the govern- ment testimony. He stressed that Farinas had not disrupted any- thing, and that the Issue was one of free speech. Farinas was be- ing tried because of his opposi- tlon to the wir and his socia- list view. Thus the Constitution was at stake in this case, The jury had to decide if leafleting was 4 crime, The jury hadto find the defendant not guilty if it be- lieved in and intended to uphold constitutional liberties. The prosecutor, Peter Trueb- ner, claimed that the Issue was not the war forfree speech, He said that the first amendment was not an absolute, that it did not give license to disrupt. He re- peated the government's charges of disruption, which had not been proven in the slightest. He made clear the political nature of his case by stating that Farinas had as much intention of going Into the Army as Cassius Clay. The judge felt it necessary to order this remark stricken from the record after objection from the ms THE BLACK PANTHER SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1971 PAGE 9 JUAN FARINAS DEFENSE COMMITTEE PRESS RELEASE: Farinas’ crime was a political one, that of determined opposi- tion to the war as he prepared to enter the armed forces, Juan Farinas issued the following statement after his con- viction: ‘‘In the two years since my arrest, the Vietnam war crisis has deepened at home and abroad, The government has been unable to make any progress in crushing the Vietnamese workers and peasants, so that renewed escalation, including bombing and invasion of the North Vietnam is now threatened, In addition, the struggle here in the U.S, has also been escalated. ‘le is highly significant that has been raised and spent in legal fees, printing expenses, postage and travel expenses, Helena Farinas has toured the San Francisco Bay Area and Chicago, Juan Farinas has spoken to meetings at the State Univer- sity in Stony Brook, New York, and in Bridgeport at a meeting co-sponsored by the Workers League and the Young Lords. Meetings have also been held at Columbia University, the Colum- bia-Presbyterian Medical Cen- ter, a highly successful fund- raising dance was held at New York City Community College and the case has been publicized Destruction by Pig Army Juan Farinas refused to join defense toits racist implications. The judge's charge to the jury was a crucial factor in - the eventual guilty verdict. This charge was a virtual directed verdict of guilty, since it stress- ed total obedience to the officers in the induction center and stared that once the officers had coun- seled the defendant, he was guilty if he took virtually any action such as the distribution of leaflets. The officers had at no time in- Structed Farinas to stop dis- tributing leaflets. They had asked him if he wanted to refuse in- duction and read to him a regu- lation on uncooperative regis- tants so rapidly that he heard only the sections providing for imprisonment and fine. The key point is that although the government had been unable to prove its charge of disrup- tion, the judge stated very strong - ly that simply not keeping one's mouth shut in theface of vague and arbitrary directives was tanta- mount to disruption and refusal to submit, Even with this strongly pro- government charge, the jury de- liberated for nearly four hours. The defense intends to appeal both the constitutionality of the Selec- tive Service Actprovisions which open the way to harsh penal- tles for exercising elementary rights of free speech, as well as factual matters, the govern- ment’s inability to prove its case and the blased charge to the jury.. It became clear in the course of this trial that the government's motive was 4 political one, Judge Pollack interrupted court proceedings to sign injunctions against the rai) strike, and thar my defense witnesses all came from the ranks of the working class. **In my testimony I referredto the war going on inthe courtroom. On one side was the government, the army, the judge and the bosses they serve. On the other side was the working class and the youth, **l sincerely thank allthose who came to my support. I will contact them all in the very near future to discuss how we can continue and take this fight on a much higher plane,"' In the seven weeks since the Juan Farinas Defense Committee was formed over 100 sponsors of this committee have been gained, These include many or- ganizations as well as individuals prominent in the anti-war, Stu- dent, black and Chicano move- ments. The sponsors include offi- cials of District 65, the SSEU, the American Federation of Tea- chers, the Amalgamated Meat- cutters, the ‘Teamsters:, the United Shoe Workers and many other unions, They include the Puerto Rican Students Union, the Young Lords Party, Corky Gon- zalez of the Denver Crusade for Justice, the Black Panther Party, many SDS chapters, Dave Del- linger, Jerry Gordon, Jim Laf- ferty, the Student Mobilization Commitee and the Vietnam Peace Parade Committee. Nearly two thousand dollars in many student, union and ra- dical papers, The Committee faces immedi- — ate expenses for procuring the minutes of the trial, possible fur-— ther printing costs for the court record as well as continuing costs — of publicity and travel, The Committee intends to re- double all of its efforts on Farinas behalf, Some of the plans to be discussed include: a meeting of union supporters of Farinas and plans to widen support for Fari- nas in the labor movement; fur- ther work inthe Spanish-speaking community; a tremendous expan- sion of national work on this case and of press coverage; a benefit concert for thé Defense Committee and a public mass meeting with prominent speakers on behalf of Farinas.

PEACE-HEUTRALITY SOUTH VIETNAM OCTOBER 31, 1970 TO: MR. HUEY NEWTON MINISTER OF DEFENSE BLACK PANTHER PARTY U.S.A. Dear Comrades, We are deeply moved by your letter informing us that the Black Panther Party is intending to send tothe National Liberation Front and the Pro- visional Revolutioaary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam an un- determined number of troops, assist- ing us in our struggle against the U.S. {mperialist aggressors, This news was communicated to all the cadres and fighters of the PLAF in South Vietnam; and all of us are _délighted to get more comrades-in- firms, so brave as you, on the very S0il of the United States. On behalf of the cadres and fighters of the SVN PLAF 1 would welcome your noble deed an-i convey to you our sincere thanks for your warm support to our struggle againsre U.S. aggression for national salvation, We consider it as a great contribution from your side, an important event of the peace and democratic movement in the United States giving us active support, a friendly gesture voicing your determination to fight side-by- side with the South Viemamese people for the victory of the common cause of revolution, In the spirit of international soll- darity, you have put forward your re- sponsibility towards history, towards the necessity of unitiag actions, shar- ing Joys and sorrows, participating in the struggle against U.S, imperialism, ™ You have highly appreciated the close relation between our both uncom- promising struggles against U,S, im- perialism, our common enemy, It is well known now, that the U.S, govern- ment the most warlike, not only op- presses and exploits the American people, especially the Black and the coloured ones, but also oppresses and exploits various peoples the worldover by all means, irrespective of morality and justice. They have the hunger of dollars and profits which they deprived by the most barbarous ways, including genocide, as they have acted for years {n South Viemam, In the past years, your just struggle in the U.S, has etimulated us to strenghten unity, and rush forward toward higger successes, The U.S impertalists, althoughdrivea by the South Vietnamese and Indo- chinese people in a defeated position, still have not given up their evil de- sign, still seek to gain the military victories and to negotiate on the pos- {tlon of strength, On the SVN battle fields, they are actively realizing their policy of *'Vietmnamization” of the war with a view to maintaining the neo- colonialism in South Vietnam and pro- longing the partition of our country. The very nature of the policy of "*Vietnamization’’ is prolonging Indef- initely the aggressive war at a degree ever so cruel and barbarous, While Nixon puts forward his ‘initiative for peace’, in SVN the aggressive war got harder and harder; after the ‘urgent pacification’’ came the “Eagle campaign’; after that, by the ‘'special pacification’ in the countrysides and the ‘‘for the people’’ campaign in the towns, Nixon and Thieu Ky Khiem clique have perpetrated innumerai> barbarous crimes towards the people of all strata in SVN. The 5 point proposal of Mr, Nixon, put forth on October 7th exposes more clearly his stubborn, perfidious and deceitful nature to US, and world opinion, It is clear that Nixon is un- willing to accept a peaceful settle- mentonthe Vietnam problem, but tries to stick to South Viemam as a neo- colony and U,S, military base, ag well as to legalize the U.S, aggression in Indochina as a whole. The U.S, government must seriously respond to the September 17th state- ment of the RSVN PRG, for it is the just basis, the reasonable and logical solution of the SVN problem, These are also the urgent aspirations of the whole Viemamese people, of the pro- gressive Americans and of those the world over who cherish peace, freedom and justice, Dear Comrades, Our struggle yet faces a lot of hard- ships, but we are determined to over- come all difficulties, unite with all progressive forces, to heighten our revolutionary vigilance, to persist in our struggle, resolutely to fight and win, We are sure to win complete victory, So are our thinkings: At present, the struggles, right in the United States or on the SVN battle-fields, are both making positive contributions for national liberation and safeguard- ing the world peace, Therefore, your persistent and ever-developing strug- gle is the most active support to our resistance against U.S. aggression for national salvation, With profound gratitude, we take notice of your enthusiastic proposal; when necessary, we shall call for your volunteers to assist us, We are firmly confident that your just cause will enjoy sympathy, warm and strong support of the people at home and abroad, and will win com- plete victory; and our ever closer coordinated struggle surely stop the bloody hands of the U.S, imperialists and surely contribute winning indepen- dence, freedom, democracy and genuine peace, Best greetings for “unity, militancy, and victory"’ from the SVN people's liberation fighters, NGUYEN THI DINH, Deputy Commander Of the SVN People’s Liberation Armed Forces, THE BLACK PANTHER SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1971 PAGE 12 FIRST ARMY CHIEF OF STAFF ADMITS HE TRANSFERRED ANTIWAR GI FOR HIS POLITICAL BELIEFS. LABELS ANTIWAR SOLDIERS AT FT. HAMILTON A GANG’. Brooklyn, New York - A high Army official has admitted thar the U.S, military transfers Some GIs solely because they exercise their Constitutional g free speech rights. a On December 22, second day of Federal! Court hearings on Z the Ft. Hamilton case, Major General Richard G. Ciccolelia (Chic’-aALELL-a) of Ft. Meade, Maryland, and Chief of Staff of First Army, labelled SP4 David : Cortright a “*troublemaker’’ and the leader of a ‘‘little gang’’ of ¥ dissidents at the New York mili- } tary base. Gen, Ciccolella testified that he had learned of the activities of antiwar soldiers and their wives through briefings and staff ‘reports since he assumed command in June of 1970. When asked what he did about Cor- s Ly the general responded, ‘"! ordered them (the Ft. Hamilton to transfer him." received orders to orice of whether the other fs ve transfers, five to Viet- Ram and three to Korea, were also done to raise the ‘'gen- _ Band, Under lengthy cross-examina- tion by Fred Cohn, chief counsel for the 32 soldiers who are su- ing the Army, the general ad- mitved that neither Cortrightnor any of the other soldiers had ‘violated any law. To show that the soldiers’ exercise of their Constitutional rights had affec- ted the effectiveness of their unit, " Clccolella could only cite an tn- cident which occurred more than three months after Cortrighthad _-——sCébeen transferred, On November Il, the band failed to perform ar a Veterans Day parade in New <= York. Ciccolella stated this was , proof that the antiwar soldiers were disruptive, even after he was told that the bandmaster, Warrant Officer Patrick Flores, had ordered the band not to play because of bad weather, The general's testimony re- flected the thinking of the high- est echelons of the U.S, mill- tary. On the one hand, Cicco- , lella claimed the Army reco- : gnizes clearly that any soldier like any citizen has full demo- cratic rights, including the right to petition and demonstrate .a- gainst the war, On the other hand, the general said that this unit was unable to perform its mis- sion because Soldiers in the unit marched in demonstrations and signed petitions. ? Also testifying at the hearing was Lt. Col, Norman ©, Clyde, who described the computerized process which selects men for transfer. This testimony at- tempted to show thar the sold- fers orderd to Vietnam and Ko- rea got thelr orders as the re- sult of the impersonal opera- tions of a machine. Under cross- examination, however, he ad- mitted that the Pentagon's com- puter could be swayed by a gen- eral who might want to transfer people because of their antiwar beliefs. As 4 rebuttal witness, Peter Stool, a former soldier in the Ft. Hamilton personnel office, testified that he had been or- dered to place certain soldiers on the “‘surplus personnel” ros- ter by authority of Gen. Walter Higgins, cammander of Ft. Ham- ilton. Other testimony was heard from Thomas Brooks, Paul Dix and Richard Russo, all 26th Ar- my Band members under or- ders to Vietnam and Korea. All had signed antiwar petitions within the last few months. Also on the stand was Monica Cor- tright, wife of one of the plain- tiffs, who participated In a dem- onstration by Military Wives for Peasce on July 4. Federal Judge Jack 8, Wein- stein ordered a 30-day extension of the case to allow the Army to supply information which he had ordered earlier In the pro- ceedings. Judge Weinstein in- dicared that the evidence intro- duced so far showed a prima facie case against the Army as regards Cortright’s transfer and the restrictive rules imposed on the band last summer, although it did not indicate a case for the Gls who had been ordered to Vietnam and Korea, If the judge finds he has juris- diction, he can order the Army to revoke Cortrights punitive transfer to Ft. Bliss, Such an action would be 3 major step forward for the rights of anti- war Gls. It would make possi- ble judicial review for the rights of any case involving the puni- tive transfer of any U.S, service- man for his oppositiontothe war, Final decision on the case is ex- pected within the next two months, The Fr. Hamilton case goes back to 1969, when 36, Fr. Hamilton Gls signed an antiwar petition sponsored by the Gl Press Service and the Student Mobilization Committee. Their names, along with the names of over 1300 other soldiers, ap- peared in a full page ad in the Nov. 9, 1969 New York Times Since that time the Fr, Hamil- ton Gis have faced escalating harassmem from military 4u- thorities.

Companies known fo be involved: United Transport Overseas, which is Operating a regular heavy transport service between Johannesburg and Cahora Bassa and holds three of the major transport contracts to carry equipment for the dam over the next four-and-a-half years.

The resolution also specifically deplored the policies of Governments which had failed to prevent nationals and companies under their jurisdiction from agreeing or preparing to partici- pate in the Cabora Bassa dam and hydro-electric project in Mozambique and the Cunene River basin project in Angola, and appealed “to all Govern- ments which have not yet done so to withdraw from the activities relating to these projects to take all the neces- siry measures to prevent their partici- pation therein Ag any companies or ndividuals under their jurisdiction’’.

LONG LIVE CHAIRMAN MAO. “a tii ee THE BLACK PANTHER SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1971 PAGE 14 RACISM IN AMERICA.. UNITED NATIONS REPORT United Nations (AWA)--Rac- ism in the United States became a hot topic of debate here as the 25th Anniversary session of the United Nations General Assemby drew to a _ close, Quite unexpectedly the debate erupted in the Fifth (Budgetary) Committee when, while discuss- ing the relationship of the Unit- ed Nations to the host country, Arab and African delegates com- Plained bitterly that racial dis- crimination, terror bombings, demonstrations and physical attacks on permanent Missions had created an atmosphere un- fayorable to their carrying out the functions assigned to them. Ambassador Mohamed Alwan of Iraq led off by declaring that the United Nations had grown Since 1945 to be ‘talmost an international organization” from being ‘‘almost an Ameri- can-European body."" In the United States, he went on, it was becoming extremely diffi- cult for the non-white diplomatic community to live because racial discrimination was practiced either official, as it was inthe south, or socially, as it is in New York, Ambassador Alwan's remark has been provoked by terror- ist activity directed against Arab Permanent Missions to the UN and non-governmental Arab Or- ganizations by the extremist Jewish Defense League, which he noted has been condemned by most recognized Jewish or- ganizations in the United States, He was joined by a number of other ambassadors in suggest- ing that the United Nations head- quarters be moved to a Euro- pean city. Mr. Alwan observed that mem- bers of the JDL had terrorized diplomatic missions in New York, attempted to highjack a plane in London, burt still were free to pursue their program without government restraints. Why, he asked, does the U.S. Government and New York City authorities permit the JDL such wide latitude while it harasses and seeks to suppress groups fighting for black liberation? Mr. B, Rambissoon of Trinidad and Tabago, supporting the Iraqi ambassador, said the economic benefit from the United Nations should motivate the U.S. and New York governments to protect foreign diplomats from acts of violence and racial discrimina- tion, He had been a victim of housing discrimination, he re- vealed, and added that the host country was not ‘doing as much 4s it might to correct the sit- uation, Similar remarks were made later by Mr. Jaballah M, Mater of Libya, Mr. Louls Guirandou-N'diaye of the Ivory Coast, and Mr. Miles Stoby of Guyana, Mr, Guirandou-N'diaye reported that a pipe bomb had been placed by terrorists in his country’s Mission and that one of his Mission members had ence been brutally attacked and “seriously injured.’ He said his Mission was concerned about the growing insecurity in New York City, “especially for Af- rican delegations."’ Ambassador Ricardo Alarcon Quesada of Cuba said no Mission had ever been attacked in his country but he did not have time to recount the number of times the Cuban Mission to the United Nations had been attacked, When the Cuban flag at the UN was desecrated, he said, two persons were detained by the police and released, U.S, Representative Albert F, Bender was stung by the charges which he "rejected." adding that racism was not a policy of the United States or New York City, Racism, he said, was being fought by the U,S,, although some individuals still ‘displayed rac- ist attitudes and practicedracial discrimination,"’ A resolution was finally adopt- ed in a watered down version, urging the United States to ‘'make certain that the measures to ensure the protection and se- curity of diplomatic missions and their diplomatic personnel are adequate to enable permanent missions to perform properly the functions entrusted to them by their governments.”’ The resolution also asked the Secretary-General to convene a committee on United Nations- host country relations in January, 1971, toreview the entire matter, Similar challenges to Ameri- can racism were made in the Third Gocial) Committee, the Fourth (Trusteeship) Commitee and the Special Political Com- mittee, In the Third Com- mittee, Dr. Helen G. Edmonds, the U.S, representative there, had to deliver two lengthy de- fensive speeches, replying to allegations of American racism concerning black Americans and the remaining colonial victims in Africa There is the Informal Com- mittee on Host Country Rela- tions and New York City, as the host city, has created the post of Commissioner for United Nations Affairs, both of which have duties aimed at making the lives of diplomats here run Smoothly, But even when the efforts of the United States Mission and the State Depart- ment is added to the rask ir is not easy to overcome what the Kerner Commission on Civil Disturbances called the inherent racist quality of American Society, American racism can- not be swept under the rug, Winston Berry SOLIDARITY ACTIVITIES CALENDER YEAR 1971 In honor of the Tricontinental Con- ference: to hold from January 3-10, 1e International Week of Solidarity with the national liberation struggle of the peoples of Africa, Asia and Res erica, : ‘ \s _ February 4: World Day of Solidarity with the people of Angola, February 6: World Day of Solidarity with the struggle of the people of Guatemala, February 13: World Day of Solidarity with the struggle of the people of Congo (L).

NEWTON, MINISTER OF DEFENSE, BLACK PANTHER PARTY What We Want What We Believe 1. We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our Black Community. We believe that black people will not be free until we are able to deter- mine our destiny 2. We want full employ ment for our people We Selieve that the federal government is responsible and obligated to give every man employment or a yuaranteed income. We beheve that if the white American businessmen will not give full employment. then the means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the comminiy so that the people of the community can organize and em ploy all of its people and pave a bigh standard of living 3. We want an end to the robbery by the CAPITALIST of our Black Community We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres and two mules was promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of black people. We will accept the payment in currency which will be distributed to our many communities. The Germans are now aiding the Jews in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Ger- mans murdered six million Jews. The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over fifty million black people; therefore. we feel that this is a modest demand that we make 4. We want decent housing, Mit for shelter of human beings We believe that if the white landlords will not give decent housing to our black community. then the housing and the land should be made inte cooperatives so that our community, with government aid, can build and make decent housing for its people 5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society; We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a know!l- edge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world, then he has little chance to relate to anything else “6. We want all black men to be exempt from military service. We believe that Black people. should not be forced to fight in the mifi- tary service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. We will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like black people, are being victimized by the white racist government of America. We will protect ourselves from the force and violence of the racist police and the racist military, by whatever means necessary. 7. We want an immediate end to POLICE BRUTALITY and MURDER of black people: We believe we can end police brutality in our black community by or- ganizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We thetefore believe that all black people should arm themselves for self-defense 8. We want freedom for all black men held in federal, state, county and city prisons and jails, We believe that all, black people should be released from the many jails and prison’ because th»y have not received a fair and impartial trial. 9. We want all black people when brought to trial to be tried in court by a jury of their peer group or people from their black communities, as defined by the Constitution of the United States. We believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution 30 that black people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is a person from a similar economic, social. religious, geographical, en- vironmental, hiStorical and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the black community from which the black defendant came. We have been, and are being tried by all-white juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning rian" of the black community 10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace. And as our major political objective, a United Nations-supervised plebis- cite to be held throughout the black colony in which only black colonial subjects will be allowed to participate, for the purpose of determining the will of black people as to their national destiny. When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to’ dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitle them,a decent respect to the opinions‘of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life. liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall scem most likely to effect their safely and happiness. Pru- dence, indeed. will dictate that governments long established should not he changed for light and transient causes: and. accordingly, all experience hath shown.that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable. than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and Usurpations, pur- suing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under ab- solute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such govern- ment, and to provide new guards for their future security.
