The majority section which contains BYSA members RICHARD AOKI, JOHN BELISLE, SUE DICK MC BRIDE, LARRY and ALAN and CAROL SHELLY, feel that the members should be working in close contact with the workers of the laboring class and should sacrifice everything for the cause of Socialism maintaining few personal effects and being available .: an, Aoki-l?g? so IAL . a r1 5 SF 100?43450 I DAM/run to respond to SWP orders and specifications on an immediate basis.

The minority group which contains BYSA members ROSE JERSAWITZ, JAMES and BETTY PETERS and ROGER PLUMB advocates a more liberal inter? pretation of Marxist?Lenin doctrine as interpreted by Trotsky. These individuals would like to work themselves into positions of respectability insofar as their organisations and living conditions are concerned. A third group which includes BRIAN SHANNON of the BYSA has attempted to more or less straddle the fence and attempt to mediate between the two groups. The factional dispute has manifested itself in the ISA and has caused confusion among those members of the BYSA who are not members of the OBSWP.

It was stated that the YSA no longer felt it was necessary to participate with the Young Peoples Socialists League or the Stalinists in the various student protest movements on the University of California campus. it the same time it was felt that although the climate was present for the YSA to carry out an effective program by itself and in its own name the membership had not reached the point where it could make the most of the opportunity as they were mired in petty personal con~ flicts and to a lesser extent were involved in a factionalist dispute within YSA as to the degree of relationship the YSA should maintain with the OBSWP. It was anticipated that the BYSA would ?re five to seven students enrolled in the University of California during the Fall session. It was stated inasmuch as the SLATE Peace Committi;<: s3 thkt1695 appeared to be the national mode of operation of the antiwar move? ment on the Uhiversity of California campus, the rebuilding of SLATE rather than the building of Student Feace Union at the University of California should be the primary aim of the BYSA. it was stated that representation by the BYSA should be had in the Student Peace Union but only for the purpose of attempting to bring abou eventual integration of the Student Peace Union into SLATE.

The leaflet stated that the Cuban Revolution represented the greatest gains the Latin American people had ever made and that the current administration made preparations which indicated a possible new invasion.of Cuba by the United States should be opposed by deter? mined protests by those who stand for self-determination and the end to highly dangerous war hysteria.

At a later stage in its development prior to adoption of the name BAYER, the organization was known as the Bay Area Committee of the Young Socialist Alliance (scores). The source advised that as a result of a national convention held April 15?l7, l960, at Philadelphia, the BAYSA became a branch of a national onganisation to be known as the Young Socialist Alliance (YEA) and will carry out in the Northern-California area the policies of the YSA. The BAYSA is divided into two working units, the San Francisco YSA and Berkeley REA.

This declaration stated that the YSA recognizes the Socialist Workers Party as the only existing political leadership on class struggle principles, and that the supporters of the YS have come into basic political solidarity with the SWP on the principles of revolutionary socialism. A source advised on may l0, 1962, that the original YSA was an organisation formed during October, 1957, in New York City, by youth of various left socialist tendencies, particularly members and followers of the SWP. The leaders of this group'were the guiding forces in the establishment of the national organ- ization. The source further advised on May l0, 1962, that the YSA is dominated and controlled on a national basis by the SWP through having SWP members comprise, almost exclusively, the national leadership of the YSA. The YSA, in reality, is the youth section of the SWP and the main source of new SWP members. The "Young Socialist,? a publication self? described in the April, 1960, issue, as the official organ of the YSA, discloses the headquarters of YSA as 10 East 23rd Street, New York City.

In form, they attacked the document on the basis that it was holding to ?petty bourgeois influence,? but it was obvious that the real nature of their difference with the NEC was the fact that they represented the individual who wrote the original ?Where we Stand" founding declaration document several years ago. Their3{ was not a political fight in the true sense but was based primarily on personal antagonisms. ?54; in avor of It was pointed out by those voting the new document that the original document neglected to identify the YSA with the class struggle in America, and identified the YEA with the marxist tradition of LENENJ TROTSKY, LUXEMBURG and LIEBKNECHT. An accurate outline of the YSA position demanded that both concepts be-included. It was pointed out that ?le original version of the "Where we Stand,? with its foreign ring, was used by Prosecutor HDADLEY at Bloomington to attack the YEA as an un-smerican organization in the All~American City. It would have helped if the YEA could have pointed to a phrase about Indiana?s own EUGENE V. DEBS in its statement of principles. Also, the actual progran of the YEA today is much closer to the full TROTSKYIST Program than it is to the founding declaration.

This document is contained in the YSA Discussion Bulletin, Volume 7, Number 2, July 1963. The main point brought out in the Task and Per- spectives Report was that the decline and isolation of the socialist movement, that was present during the 1950s, had come to an end. The Negro people and their drive for freedom, as well as the beginning of a realization among a small but growing number of students that Socialism offers a solution to the in- creasing contradictions of Capitalism, are indications of this revitalization of the socialist movement. As the revitalization of the mass working-class movement has yet to occur in this transitional period, youth have a crucial role to play between the revolutionarv Socialists and the as yet un-radicalized young workers. Because of this, the YSA must have a definitive orientation toward involvement in the Student Union. This intervention on the campus should be a two?fold one of direct socialist activity, combined with work in broader student organizations. The main crisis in campus work, whether directly as the st or within other student groups, should be on socialist education, propaganda, and recruitment. Re- cruitment remains a primary aim of each local. Working -11- Aok?634 SOCIALIST ALLIANCE ta) AL it) on the campuses should be flexible, both in the approach to which organizations should be contacted, and how much effort should be put into a particular organization at a particular time, based upon objective needs and possibilities. Within the Negro movement militant vouth organisations within which the YSA can involve itself have developed in the North and South in the field of civil rights. The YSA should seek to become allies of these groups, winning white students to the Ne ro cause and re" cruiting a young Negro cadre. ?g Faote for: 27 Against: None One absent.

He stated that there was a very good possibility that the three Bloomington defendants would go to jail.

The most significant event was the tre- mendous growth of the Midwest locals through the leadership of JACK and BETSY BARNES.

A source advised on May 8, 1963, that the original YSA was an organization formed during October 1957 in New York City by youth of various left socialist tendencies, particularly members and followers of the SWP. The leaders of this group were the guiding forces in the establishment of the national organization. :jghi: The source further advised on May 8, 1963, that the YSA is dominated and controlled on a national basis by the SWP, through having members comprise exclusively the National Executive Committee (NEG) and through an official SWP representu ative at all YSA MEG meetings. The YSA, in reality, is the youth and training section of the SWP and the main source of new SEEP members. The headquarters of the Young Socialist Alliance is located at 125 Fourth Avenue, New York City.

This was a general emergency meeting called by leaders of the to discuss the relationship between the SNP and youth. It was stated that the ties between the and the YSA were very informal; that approximately one?third of the members of the YSA were also members of the SWP, practically all of whom held positions of importance, either as officers of the YSA National Committee, SWP National Committee, or as functionaries of either organization. A discussion was held of the strained relationship between the SFYSA and BYSA. After heated discussion, it was decided to terminate the discussion and return to it at a future date, inasmuch as it appeared that there were no basic political disagreements and the disagreement involved a difference in personalities. A discussion was held of the relationship between the youth and other members of the SWP not involved in youth work.

NIXON outlined activities of various YSA locals throughout the United States, and stated that it had been resolved at the convention that the should inject itself into the civil rights movement and attempt to form left?wing caucuses in Negro groups, resulting eventuallv in a Trotsky Negro movement. NIXON stated that it was resolved that the YSA had been adopting an approach too intellectual for most of the persons with whom it comes in contact, and intended to approach people on a better and simplified level, using the vernacular of the student and the uneducated. aria- SF DAM:mhb NIXON continued that the major problem confronting the YSA was tendency on the part of the membership to think mechanically in terms of Marxism. This tendency prevented him from projecting his ideas to those persons with whom he comes in contact, and raises an artificial block in com- munications. He Stated that the YSA was moving into greater activi tv on college campuses, citing as an example San Francisco State College, where the Student Body President, TOM RAMSEY, was a member of the YSA. NIXOH said that it should be obvious to all how important it is to make contact with student leaders on campuses to project YSA aims to the student body. He said that the YSA must move and take the lead in all political situations and must develop an intellectual atmosphere that is conducive to the members of the YSA. He stated that the YSA must speak as students would speak when making contacts on campuses, and speak as a worker would when contacting workers. He remarked that the YSA must become a cultural and satisfying organization and something more than just a political organiza- tion. It must develop a sound revolutionary commitment.

"The (Communist) party?s front operations in the Southern California District today are confined to four major organizations,? which include the Citizens Committee to Preserve American Freedoms. "ihe Citizens Committee to Preserve American Freedoms specializes in propaganda aimed at abolishing the Committee on Un?American Activities and discrediting the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Created in Los Angeles in 1952, the front organization is run by Frank Wilkinson, an identified Communist who recently resumed the full-time, paid post of executive secretary after approximately a year's leave of absence to assist in a similar campaign by another front in New York City, the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee. "when the committee on Un?American Activities held hearings in Los Angeles September 2~5, 1958, to i?QUire into the nature of the party?s recent reorganization in California, the Citizens Committee to Preserve American Freedoms sponsored a series of public meetings to protest the hearings and the very existence ef the committee. Communists subpoenaed as witnesses were guests of honor. "At this time, leaders of the party's Southern California District were mobilizing Communists in the area for participation in an intensified campaign to abolish this committee of Congress. How the Citizens Committee to Preserve American Freedoms served the party in this effort was revealed by(Communist Party) District Chairman Dorothy Healey in a report to the party's Southern Californi District Council on September 21, 1958. wrs. HEALEY declared that th party preferred public protest meetings to be held by the Citizens Committee to Preserve American Freedoms rather than under party auspices because Communists could attend without danger of being exposed as members of the party. She also noted that Communists scheduled as congressional committee witnesses could not appear beforehand at Openly Communist rallies without creating the im- pression that the party was conspiring with witnesses to withhold information from the committee.?

With the exception of Boston, however, the movement has not been on a level to measure up to the dimensions of the struggle.

She disclosed that the main purpose of the YSA in connection with these demonstrations had been to inject socialist lines in the AHCED. DAWSON noted that the YSA desired to work with others and noted that the YSA had approached individuals working with the AHCBD in an effort to have them approve the YSA line and win them over to the YSA political thinking. She noted that the BSA was approximately 99 per cent white and that it had been unsuccessful in influencihg the Negro ghetto.

A EBA Berkeley Area Report dated August, 196%, was mailed anonymously to the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

When BSA was ex? tremely isolated, as it was a year ago, there was a strong tendency towards in?group "Trot" talk, and petty a-political slander of other organizations and indivi? duals in them. Many good people naturally were turned off of YSA by this closed, hostile attitude. By contrast, it is now well understood in YSA that only valid criti- cisms are political ones, and that even in criticizing tactics, the political reasons for tactical errors are the central concern. The BSA was able to bury the "atrocity habit" by constant attention to it, and now finds itself in a very open?ended situation where it is in continual contact with members of opponent tendencies, and on good personal terms with some of them, thereby af- fording a situation and opportunity to confront them politically. members generally feel now that the political balance of forces has shifted completely in their favor since their intervention at the founding convention of the W. E. B. Du Bois Clubs of smerica. Until June-of 196% the BSA was on the defensive against the Du Bois Club; YEA intervention at their conference caused them to be isolated from a large section of their former periphery, and, although they will build a-new one in time, the YEA should be able to take considerable advan? tage of this situation during the election campaign while they disappear into the Democratic Party. By attending the open meetings and forums ef the Dubois Club, as the ESA did prior to the founding convention, the YSA can continue to raise the political questions they want to avoid, and have a very detrimental effect on their efforts to build. The most active area of work of EBA has been in the CONGRESS 0F RACIAL EQUALITY (C.O.R.E.), a civil Aokrgl 53 SF loo?53902 WHK/clh in?! 1 1 rights organization.

During this meeting a discussion was held concerning the relationship of the Du Bois Club with other "off~campus" groups at the University of California, Berkeley, and it was decided that the Du Bois Club would not take over any of the responsibilities or functions of other groups who might be demonstrating on civil rights issues nor would they conduct any organizing of demonstrations on their own. The members were instructed that they should work with these other organizations which were organizing demonstrations and thereby make these demonstrations more effective. enemas] m. At a meeting of the Du Bois Club held in Berkeley on February 3, 1963, the principal discussion was concerning the ?Afro-American issue? and it was decided that the club policy would be that ?black racism" was harmful to the movement and that people who advocate action along these lines should be told that their answer and solution lie in Marxism. 2/1? ?df?j-F?t??gv l?

Hundreds of young voter registration workers will be mobilized in this effort which will undoubtedly bring about a crisis situation and most likely a reaction of violence by the cracker population. Should such a situation prevail, the Federal government will be forced to intervene. However, Federal intervention could mean either protection for registration workers and voters, or it could mean martial law.

This should include three main projects: 1) all- out support of the Rumford Fair Housing Bill now under attack by the California Realtors Association's initiative petition; 2) work in the Berkeley community against defacto school segregation; and 3) continuation of directention projects for equal employment practices.

The hotel negotiations have special importance now with the Republican Convention being held in July. 1?Finally, the Du Bois Club should continue to support the efforts of the existing civil rights groups in whatever way we can.? At a meeting of the W.E.B. Du Bois Club held in .

He described a meeting which was held with WILLEAM KNOWLAND . of the t?Oakland Tribune" and certain individuals representing the Ad Hoc Committee. According to the speaker at this meeting the Ad Hoc Committee asked for the employment breakdown by race and it wound up as a shouting match between the speaker and KNOWLAND when former Sent ator KNONLAND refused to give the exact number of employees in each job category and their race. The speaker then asked for club approval on certain further action which the Ad Hoc Committee was considering.

To explain in part to other delegates what the SFEBC is and.what it had accomplished in the past, the pub? lished a two?page leaflet which read .as follows: "The San Francisco DuBois Club originated as a Marxist study group a few years ago with about a dozen persons who were committed to Marxism as an ideology, and who had been active in liberal and issue oriented groups. These individuals saw the necessity of a group with an idxiogical base which could give direction to persons involved in struggles for peace, civil rights, civil liberties, etc., through discussion of theoretical and.oon? temporary questions and problems. ?After about six months it became evident that a discussion group alone would not meet the needs of the individuals involved or of the existing situation in San Francisco. Liberal groups such as SCOPE, SLATE, peace groups, etc., were falling apart. There were many young people becoming inactive because of disatisfaction with the direction of these groups that were generally lacking in per? spective. "The change to an action oriented youth group with a Marxist ideology was the natural step forward for the Dubois Club and.its members. With this came the broadening of the base of the group to include not only those already committed to Marxism but also to include those who were interested in studying Marxism as a possible alternative to our present economic system. dokblUD -52- 2 SF 100-53902 WAR/efb ?The club was set up to appeal to persons involved in, or who had been involved in, political action. It was not felt that we would appeal to many persons who had not previously been involved in political activity of any nature. is it turned out, we are attracting a greater number of these persons then we had anticipated and have in many ways failed to adjust our program to sufficiently meet the needs of these persons. This failure stems not from lack of activity and involve- ment in mass action but from the lack of an educational program which is directed towards persons new to political activity. "As previously stated,I the club formed during a period when there was little organized left?wing activity, and very little political activity of any character involving young people in San Francisco. is a club, therefore, we began our activity by organizing young people to participate in election campaigns, providing manpower for precinct work, etc., for candidates and issues which we felt were most important in any election. Also we partici~ pated fully in action initiated by other organiza~ tions around various issues. Through our ability to turn out a sizeable group of people who could be depended upon to work hard and consistently for these actions, we able to develop close working relationships with"5ther?organizations. Since we have proven that we will work hard to accomplish the goals which these other groups have set for themselves, we have created an atmosphere of close cooperation and have virtually done away with red- baiting, one of the main tools used to divide the forces of mass movements. "We are more than ever-becoming able to initiate activities in our own name and to expect support from other organizations; for example, the demon? strations protesting U.S. policy in Viet-Nam dure ing madame Nhu?s visit to San Francisco.

Any restriction upon these rights, particularly in the existing political climate is a weapon in the hands of the power structure. This is because in our country the forces which violate civil liberties, the Right Wing, are not prosecuted by the government except under extreme mass pressure and only then in rare in? stances. In the case of restrictions the left is in- variably the victim of such prosecutions, although they have long engaged in the struggle for full civil liberties. The mass movements as they grow are daily confronted with the manifestations of this opposition: police brutality and terrorism, legal injustice, denial of constitutional guarantees by the government through such organs of harrassment as the McCarran Act, EURO, and the basically hostile Department of Justice. There is a growing aware~ ness of the facts that the fight for civil liberties must be conducted in the streets: that mass political action, in addition to the debatewmsierthe court room,is vital to the establishment of a truly libertian society. There is a steadily increasing understanding within the mass moves ments that only in a climate where civil liberties of all persons are guaranteed, can one be secure. ?oktl?g nu- ?Jf?atr-t . i u, I I .11., 2 Es lOOu53902 was/err "In the past, action among youth has been almost totally based upon spontaneous reactions to specific violations of civil libertiesa This point is illustrated by demonstrations and educational campaigns against HUAC, for academic freedom, on in-loco parentis for a complete investigation of the Kenneay assassination, etc. Recently there has been a trend toward planned action such as trips to Cuba in defiance of the travel ban.

YOUTH FOR JOBS (YFJ) La"" see. ?in 1: YFJ is characterized in the Appendix Pages of this report. The 1963 Constitution and Bymlaws of YFJ provided that all activities of YFJ, such as picket lines, demonstrations, sit-ins, and walkouts should be approved by a majority of_the membership present at any one meeting. Approval by two-thirds of the YFJ Council would be sufficient for the carrying out of such action in the event it was impossible to bring up such plans at a membership meeting. Es T-28 on 10/61/63ij A joint meeting of the San Francisco CP Youth Club and the Berkeley Off Campus Youth Club (Berkeley, ca?fornia) was held in San Francisco in December 1963 for the purpose of discussing YPJ in the San Francisco and East Bay Areas (Contra Costa and Alameda Counties, California). ROSCOE PROCTOR said that YFJ was the outgrowth of the plans of the CP Negro Commission to build a mass organisation concerned with the unemployment problems of youth. After much discussion, it was decided to ?ut more emphasis on unemployment and less on civil rights.

Although direct action groups existed, their goals were eitherCQULfrr remote or of an extremely limited nature. Thousands of man-hours were spent picketing Woolworth and Kress in sympathy with Southern lunch counter demonstrations; realtors and apartment house managers were picketed because of their refusal, in specific cases, to sell or rent homes to Negroes; employment projects concentrated mainly on demanding that allewhite business establish? ?ments where specific instances of discrimination could be documented, 'integrate? their work force.

Eyeball?to?eyeball confrontation with petty entrepeneurs brought about concessions of microscopic import: one apartment, one or two jobs. image was all-important. Suit and tie was the standard direct action costume. Talking and smoking were forbidden on picketlines. Spacing of pickets, and holding of signs *proPerly? were important. The CORE chapter was considered a ?small group of dedicated people.g Wmou-Fr'. W. "The Freedom Rides of 1961 brought the first large wave of people into CORE, but local direct action generally followed the above pattern until early 1963. At this time Berkeley and Oakland CORE entered into direct action against Montgomery Ward in Oakland. They considered this action a bold new step (which it was) because 'Monkey Ward? already A0k?124 cost ad 9 SF 100?53902 ii employed some Negroes (about A seventeen?pgge fact booklet (now a rare collectors' item) was prepared, presenting case. In reality, the booklet was a defense of CORE's right to demand more than tokenism in employment. It presented the thesis that token employment of Negroes was a discriminatory hiring policy. After two weeks of picketing, the project was successfully concluded. The new type target demanded a new type agreement. The agreement reached with Montgomery Ward was the prototype of future Bay Area employment agreements. It pioneered demands for statistical reporting, special recruitment policies, and goal projections. Hundreds of jobs for minority people were soon opened. The demands of the Movement had undergone a radical change. Although the number of pickets involved (as many as 50 at a time) was much greater than previous demonstrations, the overall picketline protoccl remained about the same. ?The next significant turning point was at the Mel's Drive?In restaurants. This action led to the formation of the Ad Hoc Committee to End Discrimination, and even more significantly, changed the entire mood of demonstration. The notion of trying to maintain a respectable image was almost entirely demolished. The first Mel?s lines did not even pay lip service to non? violence. The policy was, ?We?ll defend our line'. There was singing, shouting, clapping, smoking, talking, walking two abreast, dancing, and all types of dress on the line. ?Experienced? civil rights demonstrators didn't know what to think. Some stayed away, some tried to instrUct the line in proper conduct; some joined in. Never before were there such large civil rights picketlines. The project was successfully concluded following two large waves of sit?ins and arrests. This was a pioneering attempt at using civil disobedience in a situation where the form of the .protest was not directly related to the grievance. The demonstrators were not sitting?in for service, they were sitting?in to protest an unfair hiring policy. Although other local direct action groups did not immediately incorporate massive civil disobedience into their programs, they were unable to maintain the picket line protocol upon which they had previously Ackt125 En'hi-P I- .. .

Picket lines became more spontaneous, more people joined, the situation became more excitable, and demonstrators put increasing pre? ?iers-5*5' on their leaders for escalation of tactics. "The Lucky Stores demonstrations consolidated the image of militancv and new notions of protocol established at Mel's. It also greatly increased the involvement of the college community in the civil rights movement. One new precedent was established. CORE continued using the shop?in tactic despite almost universal condemnation by the white community. By refusing to be scolded into submission, the movement achieved a new power, and a new respect, from enemies as well as from friends. The notion of image was dead; only results counted? ?Little need be said about the Sheraton Falaoe and Automobile Row demonstrations. They greatly increase the number of people involved in civil rights demonstrations, although the demonstrators still came largely from the college campuses. At the Sheraton Palace, it was proved that the civil rights movement, unlike most modern labor unions, is willing to break an anti?picketing injunction in order to preserve constitutional guarantees. The demonstrations were among the most spectacular and exciting civil rights actions ever held in this country. Mass picketing and mass arrests forced the press to give full coverage, and this in turn became one of the most effective means of mobilizing additional support. The Bay Area civil rights movement became a force to be reckoned with, and a Human Relations Commission, long sought by more conservative groups, was established by the City of ?an Franciscoidentified on page h_ publication as'a member of the two of the Technical Staff.

Almost seventy?five per cent of the nineteen million Negroes in the U. S. are urban dwellers; virtually all rural Negroes live in the South. With the increasing urbanization of the Negro and his relocation in the North, the problems which he faces have become more clearly defined. First of all, he gains sophistication from daily contact with many others immersed in the same situation. Further, he is likely to be aware of the efforts of various segments of the civil rights movement, and even may have been reached by some of the activists. Secondly, the urban Negro develops that insight into official American life?which comes from standing outside of it. The Negro masses do,?cgfw,eq,g i . 89 Aokbll? SF 100?53902 believe in those which assert ?equality of opportunity,? *equal justice for all under law,? and Ethe highest standard of living in the world?uuthe central claims of American society. These have absolutely no reality for the Negro people. "As the consciousness of the urban Negro advances, the status quo comes more and more under attack, both in a qualitative and a quantitative sense. The problems he faces are themselves analyzed in a more penetrating way than before, and links between them are perceived. Thus the demands he makes are more fundamental, more of a threat to the system. Agitation increasesin.volume as greater numbers are swept into the Negro movement for change. And of course, the system resists by any means possible. The primary mode of resistance is the use of police terror??a familiar tactic in the ghetto. (As this article is being prepared, every Negro in north Philadelphia is under house arrest; it?s night?time here). The white power structure which fortifies and defends the system refuses to be shaken. They attempt to keep agitation for change under their control, to tie demands to the bargaining table and other channels of action which they legitimate. Any independent show of power by the Negro people is crushed; they are then led to the bargaining table where they can only be betrayed?n where the white power structure may toss down a few crUmbs while insuring its own continued dominance. "It is important to recognize who comprises the white power structure before shattered. The power structure is made up of business and real estate wealth, and is held together by the city machine. The machines are directly sustained by and responsible to this wealthu Machine politicians repay campaign donations by levying regressive sales taxes rather than property taxes; by using the police as agents for the slumlord. They use Uncle Toms and opportunists like Dawson and Powell to identify their interests with those of the Negro?? while they are his main enemy in the Northern ghetto. The political tag for the machine is: the Democratic Party. These machines are the source of strength for ?cki128 90 - 100?53902 JD/olh (?Riff-?3' 9' 5- the Democratic Party in the North, and are to the core by their very nature. Philadelphia?s Tate can trace his political ancestry, through Dilworth, directly back to Clark and the ?liberal? A.D.A. reform machine. The Northern machines are notorious for their war of brutality against the Negro population to keep them subdued and squeezed safely into the ghettos. These are Johnson?s staunchest allies. The ?moderate* Negro leaders who announced the moratorium have in effect proclaimed their intention to 'leave it to Lyndon' and his urban political machines to defend the Negro people. "But there is not very much which Johnson will do. One of the primary causes of ghetto misery is tremendously high unemployment. Yet the Democratic Party program doesn't even creep toward full employment. The ?war on poverty? trains workers for jobs which do not exist. It may sway votes, but it will not tear down slums. The civil rights act does not affect the ghetto Negro at all; most Northern states already have stronger laws. This indicates a willingness on the part of the power structure and the Democratic Party to do away with legal segregation, but at the same time it shows their inability to alter the status quo which is their life. The Democratic Party is powerless to stop the so-called 'white blacklash.? It cannot provide a basis on which Negro and white workers can unite instead of fighting over what jobs remain. At the very most it can present vapid illusions about upward mobility for Negroes, all the while using the national press to smear militant protest about the real world. The civil rights movement would plunge into disaster if it supported this bankruptcy. ft mi.

Yet, even the new leaders in all their militancy are likely to be thrust aside as the movement becomes more and more viable in the ghetto. The new leaders still bear scars from the old days when things were organized differently. For example, when tenantsi councils developed during the Harlem rent strike, Gray as a leader lacked a clear program to extend the activity of the councils to include school boycotts, self~ defense, and political action. In fact, he acted as a fetter to further any spontaneous development of the tenants' councils. "It is natural that the more militant Negro leader should be associated with separatism. The oppressed urban Negro perceives the social roots of his frustration and, simultaneously, the commitment of the white power structure to making him its scapegoat. Thus, the emergence of a separatist phase signifies a turn of the civil rights movement towards the working class Negro. lmportantly, it is only through such selfwassertion that the Negro can ever win freedom. He must control any movement which is to liberate him in order to insure that it will remain responsive to himself, rather than to the power structure. With this self~ assertion, he can eventually win allies to his struggle. I "The first hurdle which needs to be cleared is the coming election. Liberals are at the thought of a Goldwater victory. But a vote for Johnson will not arrest the drift of American politics to the right. By lQ?2, a Goldwater may be the leftuwing candidate, opposing a real fascist, simply because we will havetexhausted our energies in working for the lesser evel, in rallying the Negro and white workers around their tfriend; a man from a party which can offer no solution. Remember: to ask a Negro to vote for the Democratic Party means support for continued police brutality, continued mass unemployment, more slums and misery. Johnson*s program does not justify the subordination of the Negro struggle tomhis victory. ?okri30 ?3 SF 100?53902 "The ower of the Negro peo le is constantl. . .. i under assault by the agents of the power structungg?p The press makes daily attacks upon the militants, who are slandered as ?racists in reverse? and prophets of desperation. With the help of Wilkins, Rustin 8 Co. the newspapers assure the Negro that he can win freedom only by relying upon his enemies. The facts belie that courm "Independent political action must begin now. The twhite backlash' will not end on election day, but will end when there is room enough in the society for all. The Negro masses cannot wait for the fossilized trade unions to eradicate racism in their ranks, but must build a movement based on their own participation and serving as the awakener of the white working class in an assault upon corporation supremacy. The power structure can be smashed-?but never by working with it through the Democratic Party, which paves the way for reaction by acceeding to its basic premises. It can only be smashed from the outside. The field of struggle cannot be left to the white racists and to a Johnson whose Democratic Party answer is ?law and order? through police terror, not jobs, housing and schools. It is time for the Negro people to win the struggle with a mass demonstration of their own, independent power. That is the only answer." JACK WBINBERG, in another article entitled "We Will Not Stop Demonstrating! (speech given at Campus CORE street rally),in part,set forth the following: "We must keep fighting for equal opportunity, we must keep fighting for justice. If we stop raising demands, if we stop raising issues, neither party will be responsive to our needs. "But exactly what do our liberal advisors ask of the civil rights movement? They ask the movement to stop holding demonstrations. They ask it to cool things down. Maybe the movement can call off its demonstrations, but it can't cool things down. All it can do is withhold leadership. People can?t be turned on and off.

The active civil rights leadership is not firmly entrenched in the Negro community, and it will lose its influence as soon as it stops producing results. Within the community, a moratorium on civil rights activity can only be interpreted as a sign that the movement is not totally committed to the problems of the ghetto. It will show that the movement has reservations. The people are angry. The peeple are bitter. The situation is tense, and justifiably so. The civil rights movement holds some promise of results to the Negro community. This cannot be withdrawn. The reality of protest is with us. The only question remaining is whether the protest will have direction or whether it will not. "No, we won't stop demonstrating. we won*t let the reaction scare us into quitting and making a deal to accept the status quo. Weire tired of ?friends'; we want allies." WILLIAM BRADLEY, Chairman of San Francisco CORE, has publicly stated at press conferences and over television, that CORE is not interested in the color of a man's skin or in his politics, but welcomes everyone who is willing to fight for civil rights. ?su? 1 SF 103-53902 F3?:rap do: wit f. . 3.

MYERSON explained the difference between what he called legal laws and illegal laws. For example, he considered the law limiting the number of pickets present at any place as an illegal law. His argument was that these laws acted to persecute Jim Crow; therefore, they were illegal laws and his duty was to break them and continue to do so until the fight was completely won. Es ?3-62 on b.

The statement was necessa ccording to the . Guild,to make facts available to the bench, bar, and public 1? 3 concerning the atmosphere in the community in the arrests were made and trials conducted, particularly in View of comments reported in the press by the governor, mayor, president of the San Francisco Bar Association, some of the gudges, and other leading citizens. The statement noted that the defendants were charged with disorderly conduct, trespassing, disturbing a the peace, and similar charges, and that most of the defendants were students. many of these students were required to be present during the trial, and as a result, suffered academic hardship. Of the 47A defendants, 48 were acquitted, 89 were ordered retried because juries disagreed, and 19 were ordered retried a third time bee cause juries disagreed twice. It was pointed out that in similar cases in San Francisco, the customary procedure is to release the defendant on minimum bail or on his own recognizance and not require1 him to attend trial. If the jury disagrees_ the defendant is not normally retried, and if convicted, he is sentenced to pay a small fine. It has been a general poli?$ of the courts never to. impose a jail sentence on persons convicted of a misdemeanor who have never been arrested for or convicted of a previous crime. It was further noted that in seven major Southern citieSin which a desegregation? agreement was reached with demonstrators, all charges similar to those in San Francisco were dismissed. a Aokt139 In regard to jury selection, the statement said .. that of the 204 Negroes called, only ten sat on juries. most of the other l9? were challenged peremptorily by the prosecution. Thus, only three percent of the jurors were m. iterates"?! A oil arid EH 4 SF Negro, whereas the Negro population of San Francisco is lO.8 per cent. During the misdemeanor trials, four lawyers, three of them Negro, were fined for contempt on one or two occasions. The quality of justice meted out was unequal, said the Guild, because of differences in admission of evidence and in jury instruction based on different views of the judges on the bench. 1 The statement also contained an analysis of arrests in San Francisco during the period January 1 to J?ne 30. 1953. On disturbing the peace charges, only nine per cent of the defendants received jail sentences; the highest fine was $l50, and the longestterm was 6O days most fines were $25 and most sentences were five to 20 days. On assault charges, 25 per cent of the defendants received fines or jail terms; the highest fine was $26, and the longest term was ten days. On malicious mischief charges, seven per cent received jail sentences (non?sus? pended). On resisting arrest, the longest jail term was ten days. A comparison was made to the sentences received in the sit?in trials by l7O defendants, whose sentences were studied. Seventyutwo per cent (134 defendants) received jail sentences only or sentences plus fine. Twenty?eight per cent receivewifines only. It was noted that in New York City, sentences of similar charges were a great deal lower. The statement further noted that at least six Negro defendants received more severe sentences than their white co?defendants, although testimony during the trials did not develop significant differences in conduct. They received harsher sentences than their condefendants, and the judges commented on their leadership roles in handing down the heavier sentences. In conclusion, the statement said that it was still time for the bar and the bench of San Francisco to reconsider its approach to these defendants in these cases in order to carry out the primary purpose Aokrl40 5 . kl Jr lg?g FTD:grs 1? of the judicial system - the equal and even-handed adu ministration of justice without regard to the race of the defendant or the unpopularity of their views.

The article reported that according to TRACY SIMS, Chairman of AHCED, at least" 500 persons would picket the hotel ?today.? In the March 7, 1964, issue of the "San Francisco Examiner" there appeared an article captioned Protest By College Papers." The article informed that two Bay Area stue dent newspapers decried anti?discrimination picketing at the Sheraton?Palace Hotel which prompted a protest demonstration on one campus ?yesterday.? The article went on_to inform that stu- dent members of AHCED had organized a lunch hour rally at San Francisco State and had also paraded before the offices of the "Golden Gater.H The t1Golden Cater" is a campus newspaper published at San Francisco State College. In the March 9, lg?c, issue of the "Berkeley Daily Gazette?, a Berkeley, California daily newspaper, information was set forth that more than 300 demonstrators formed a human blockade at the three exits of the hotel during the early morne ing hours. According to the article, the blockade effectively prevented anyone from entering or leaving the hotel. Continuing, the article said that the police, with the reluctant consent of the hotel?s management, threatened mass arrest unless the exits were cleared. The article related that SIMS and other members of AHCED rejected the advice after a hurried conference and told the demonstrators to in?ite arrest. The article commented that 167 were arrested during civil rights demonstrations at the SheratonmPalace Ebtel in San Francisco over the weekend. Ac? cording to the article, of those arrested, 78 were from Berkeley, California. Ackrl77 5 . SF 100-53902 ESP/evs Continuing, the article informed that the demonstration, which started Friday evening (March 6, 196%), was aimed at al- leged discriminatory hiring practices by the Sheraton-Palace Hotel. More than 1000 persons gathered inside and outside the hotel during the night. The article went on to say that the protest finally broke up Saturday afternoon when hotel officials and civil rights leaders signed an agreement committing 35 major San Francisco ho- tels to open 15 to 20 per cent of their jobs to Negroes and mem- bers of other minority groups. In the march 28, 1964, issue of the "National Guardian" there appeared an article captioned, "How ?d Hoc Kept Pact to End Discrimination in Hotel Hiring - The Sheraton?Palace Battle at San Francisco.? Among other things, the article informed that a picket line around the famed Sheraton-Palace Hotel, Which PTO- gressively became a walk-in, a sit-in and a sleep?in ended after almost 20 hours and 16? arrested with the signing March 7, 1964, of a nonsdiscriminat??y?hiring agreement by 33 San Francisco hotels. The article related that the demonstration, the largest of its kind in the San Francisco Bay Area, was organised by AHCED, a group composed of eight local organisations active in civil rights movements. The article went on to say the picketing of the Sheraton- Palace Hotel by AHGED began about a month ago after negotiations which commenced in December, 1963, had broken down. On March 1, 123 pickets were jailed for contempt of court after they ignored a temporary restraining order limiting their number to 9. Continuing, the article informed that the demonstration began the evening of March 6. Ew'7:00 p.m. nearly 2,000 pickets, mostly students, were surrounding the Sheratonwfalace Hotel. four abreast. They chanted "freedom now? and CROW must go.H In addition, the article informed that the demonstrators sang the anthem of the civil rights movement, "We Shall Overcome.?

After several hours the pickets stopped singing and more than 800 filed into the long lobby. First they marched quietly around the room, then they sat down, blocking all but a narrow passage through the middle of the lobby. The article related that until early in the morning, it appeared that the parties would reach an agreement. However, when word suddenly came to the mass demonstrators that the Hotel Association had refused to negotiate, community leaders shouted, ?are you ready to go to jail now?". The crowd shouted assent, and 200 people moved into the hotel?s main doorway, sitting down and packing it The singing and chanting began again. A characterization for the "National Guardian" is appended hereto. 1 The article informed that a total of l6? demonstrators were arrested, the largest number involved in a mass arrest in I the City's history. Inspector CECIL M. PHARRIS has informed that indi- viduals were arrested at the Sheraton-Palace Hotel, San Francisco, on March 6 and 7, 1964.

Plans, strategy, Party line and the like made at district and lower level meetings including eXpressions by local leaders and rank and file members A meeting of the East Bay CP Industrial Club was held at 2716 Alcatraz Avenue, Berkeley, California, on June 1866. At this meeting there were present two_members from the youth club of pg? CP of Northern California, namely, 33333 VTS. The chairman of this meeting was LLOYB VANDEVER who stated that the primary subject for discussion was a report from the two members of the youth club who were members of the Iron Workers Union. RANDEIVER called upon PERRY CARVER to make a report upon progress being made to integrate the Iron Workers Union. CARVER stated that it was necessary for Regroes to penetrate the Iron Workers Union and get as many Negroes into the union as possible under the 2 mam-219 SF 100?53962 LHJ:drc program of the CF being the vanguard in Negro movements. CARVER reported that the Federal Government has established an apprenticeship program under which the Government will pay the employee half of the base salary as an iron worker under the apprenticeship program. However, he charged that the Federal Government did not know that it was being "hoodwinked" out of several thousand dollars especially in their contracts_with employers which stated that there would be no discrimination because of race, creed, color, and so forth. He charged that some of the building trade unions have come up with an aptitude test which does not pertain to the building trades. He charged the the aptitude test used in the Iron Workers Union did not pertain to the work that an iron worker has to do and the aptitude test is only a gimmick to keep the Negroes out of the union. CARVER did state that the employers are ignorant of the fact that this aptitude test is being used by the Iron Workers Union, however, it is necessary for the Negroes and the CF to attempt to remove from the executive board of the Iron Workers Union individuals who are keeping the Negroes out of the union. PHIL DAVIS continued the discussion started by CARVER and elaborated upon the aptitude test. His discussion concerned the mathematical problems that were given to Negroes and how they were tested in repairing refrigerators, TVs, radios and other electrical appliances which had nothing to do with the work of a member of the Iron Workers Union. DAHIS reported that there would be a legal contest in the courts of this aptitude test which had nothing to do with the work of an iron worker and it was necessary for the CF to finance_and support a legal contest in the courts to show discrimination against the Negroes in the Iron Workers Union. SF June 1966 A meeting of the Fillmore Club of the CF of San Francisco was held August 10, 1966, at all Pierce Street, San Francisco. At this meeting the proposal was made that the Fillmore Club collect money for the youths who were at that time incarcerated in the San Francisco County Jail serving sentences for convictions on a racial demonstration held in 1664 at the SheratonePalace Hotel. There was also a discussion at this meeting about racial demonstrations in Eastern cities. It was the feeling of those present that in the very near future the United States will undergo a major change in areas of racial discontent and that certain housing improvements for minorities would result. It was SF 100-53902 LHJ:drc felt that the CP should attempt to further infiltrate these demonstrating groups and attempt to bring understanding to those minorities that t?eLgf is willing to help them as much as possible. JUANITA WHEELER, a member of the Negro Commission of the CP of Northern California, asked for members of the Fillmore 0? Club to accompany her to San Bruno, Jail #1 of the San Francisco County Jail, to visit the young people who were incarcerated and to furnish them with money to buy necessities which might be needed while they were incarcerated.

B. OTHER COMMUNIST GROUPS 1. Plans, strategy, Party line and the like made at national meetings, including expressions of national leaders and other functionaries JUANITA.WHEELER called a meeting of Negro people at her residence, All Pierce Street, San Francisco, California, on August l, 1985. JUANITA WHEELER is an employee of the "People?s World? newspaper and a member of the Negro CommiSSion of the of Northern California. The ?People?s World" is a West Coast communist publication. th?. ?kw JUANITA WHEELER requested CP member RICHARD THOMAS to call this meeting of young Negroes who were interested in or belong to political action groups and civil rights groups. JUANITA WHEELER was concerned that there were so few Negroes in the current civil rights activities in San Franc1sco and that civil rights agitation in San Francisco at that time was at a standstill. JUANITA WHEELER desired that the Negroes should do more to improve their?condition, especially in the Hunters Point and Bayview districts. There was a discuss1on concerning the black nationalist groups such as the Afro? American society going into the ghettos and infiltrating student 1, Acid-221 SF 166~53902 LHJ:drc programs in the schools. There was a discussion that the Negroes must take a militant stand against the white people if theywwere to accomplish their aims for civil rights, housing, jobs, and equal status in the community. At this meeting RICHARD THOMAS, who led the discussion along with JUANITA WHEELER, revealed to those present that he was a member of the CF. SF August 1, 1966 A second meeting was held at the instigation of JUANITA WHEELER on August 9, 1966, at All Pierce Street, San Francisco. This meeting consisted of a debate on the subject of black nationalism vs. black power. At this meeting RICHARD THOMAS told those present if he was given an ultimatum by the CF to choose between black nationalism and Marxism he would take the position of black nationalism. Others present at the meeting stated that the CF position on Marxism is the only true way to solve the race problem in the United States. There was controversy between those present on the subject of black nationalism and Marxism and some present stated that the black nationalists in the United States are hypocrites and liars. The final conclusion among those present was that the CF position on the Negro question was proper and Marxism was the only method open to the Negroes for their liberation. SF T-S, August 9, 1966 The Bay Area Progressive Labor Party on September 28, 1966, staged a demonstration at 16th and Mission Streets, San Francisco, California, which attracted approximately_ 66 people. This was a demonstration during the San Francisco racial riouswhich occurred between September 2? and September 29, 1968.

Those present were urged to picket the National Guard Armory, lath and Mission Streets, San Francisco, California, to protest the use of the National Guard to stem the riots in San Francisco.

Information concerning 0? direction and influence-over and participation in racial demonstrations, disturbances, drives, boycotts, and other similar activities with racial overtones . A source reported on September 1966, that during the racial disturbances in San Francisco, California, there appeared to be no organised pattern underlying the racial disturbances eminating from subversive or radical groups or other outside sources in the Hunters Point and Fillmore areas. SF T-7, September 28, 1666 A source advised on September 27, 1666, that during the racial disturbances in the Fillmore area between the hours of 6 p.m. and 12 midnight it appeared that all the trouble was caused,by rovin bands of young Negroes throwing rocks and breaking windows bu that there was no organized group of individuals who were leading the rioters. SF September 28, 1966 On September 29, 1966, the CP leaders in San Francisco were concerned about the acial disturbances in San Francisco and they discussed thei?gvggability of having the chairman of the namely, ALBERT J. LIMA, issue a public statement disavowing any CF responsibility for the racial violence in San Francisco and at the same time deploring the conditions of the Negroes which caused the outbreak. The CP leaders felt a statement was necessary because they understood that an unidentified news source had charged that the CF was involved in the violence. SF T-Q, September 29, 1966? On October 6, 1666, it was reported that NUGENT, former chairman of the of San Francisco, stated that the was taken by complete surprise by the racial riots because conditions in San Francisco were not considered to be emplosive. After the disturbances broke out the CP through some of their youth members tried to intercede through their racial contacts among young Negroes to calm conditions and not arouse the Negroes. leaders believed that a tenseness of racial relations is undesirable because it defeats CP policy Anks224 1? k} 7-0 0? and makes the solution of civil rights problems more difficult in the long run. SF 100-53902 LHJ:drc SF October 5. 1955 er?*se JV It was reported on September so, 'l956, that JAMES FOREST, Chairman of the San Fr . isco County CF, consulted with other CF leaders on September(28? 1955, to obtain a consensus on the tone of a statement which CF was considering issuing on the racial riots. FOREST claimed that he had heard a telecast on TV which attributed to the CF some responsibility for the racial riots. FOREST believed that this alleged complicity should be denied and that the CF should also note that the riots were the outgrowth of discrimination in hiring Negroes, lack of jobs and additional opportunities for Negroes, inadequate housing and other undesirable ghetto conditions effecting the Negro people. SF T-Q, September 303 1965 It was reported on September 29, 1966, that members of the FLF rushed out and participated in the racial disturbances in San Francisco in an effort to capitalise upon them.

At this meeting SANDY stated he was appalleibecause no special meeting of the CF was called5 not even a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Fillmore Club of the CF, Which is made up of CF membersa . especially Negroesgliving in the Fillmore district of San Francisce which was one of the troubled areas during the racial disturbances. He was particularly caustic because the CF did not even offer a press release of any kind to the news media on TV or radio stations concerning the CF position during the racial disturbances. He charged failure of the CF to take any action which goes to prove that the CF does not know what is going on and are completely isolated from.the mainstream of the masses concerning the Negro people. SANDY added that if those present at that meeting thought his remarks condemning CF leadership were too harsh, they were? in fact2 extremely mild compared to what he planned to say of a critical nature at the next meeting of the San Francisco County Committee Aokh225 90 SF l??~53902 LHJ:drc of the CP concerning the Negro question. SANDY stated he could only conclude that if a communist revolution actually occurred the Party would be asleep and know nothing about it.

It is selfwdescribed as ?a people's alliance to effect social and political changes" and states in its literature, its contention that "American a society is historically racist and is one which has systematically' employed social discrimination and economic imperialism both domestically and internationally exploiting all non-white people." In its literature the AAPA declares: "We Asian? Americans support all non-white liberation {and} a we Asian?Americans oppose the imperialistic policies being 5 pursued by the American government." AAPA members have participated in demonstrations sponsored by the Black eanther (BPP). The present principal leader of the AAPA, FLOYD HUEN, stated to a source that the AAPA does not advocate violence as a method of protest, but feels the violence displayed in en? counters between Negro extremist groups and the police has been caused by the discriminatory attitude of?the White community.

SF 100-61299 Four members of the AAPA, including HUEN, attended a conference 11/28/68 to 12/1/68 at Montreal, Canada, organized by the Communist Parties of Canada and the United States. In their literature, the AAPA claims these representatives and BPP representatives were instrumental in helping to force a change in the thrust of the conference, from a "Peace in Vietnam" convocation to a "stop U. S. imperialism" organization. The January, 1969 issue of the AAPA newspaper published the text of the statement of the South Vietnam National Liberation Front, dated 11/3/68 and praised the Vietnamese opponents of the United States as a valiant people struggling for self- determination "against the weaponry and might of American imperialism." Identities of AAPA leaders and AAPA members who attended the Montreal Conference set out. DETAILS yew In June, 1968, SF T-l advised that a "Yellow Power" gii?,e?lgroup had been newly formed by a group of Orientals at c?ggki Berkeley, California, which would be known as the Asian- ?gmerican Politipal Alliance (AAPA). The Source identified the head of this group as a graduate student of Japanese ethnic descent, studying in the field of Agri? cultural Economics at the University of California at Berkeley (UC-B). The ource identified the second in command of the PA as ELDEEXSEEN, an undergraduate student of Chinese _?pancestry, majoring in Sociology at therC?B. SF T?l further that to demonstrate their solidarity with "Black Power" the AAPA intended to participate in a protest demonstration ggEAf which the Black Panther Party had scheduled for June 10, 1968 at Oakland, California. sixf? For characterization of the Black Panther Party see Appendix Ackh1224 SF 100?61299 The "Berkeley Barb", a newspaper which is published each Friday at Berkeley, California, and which is self~ described as a member of the "Underground Press,? in its issue dated May 31-June 6, 1968, carried an article entitled t?Yellow Power? which announced the formation of the AAPA. The article indicated that a planning meeting of the AAPA was to be held on June 2, 1968 at 2005 Hearst Street, Berkeley, to "discuss its role in the minority liberation movement and to plan the forms of its political action.? The article stated that persons interested in the AAPA should call its Chairman, YUJI ICHIOKA, telephone number 845?7156. The 1967~68 Student Directory published by the Associated Students of the UCHB, lists YUJI ICHIOKA as a Fifth Year student majoring in Asian Studies, residing at 2005 Hearst Street, Berkeley, with telephone 845-7156. That same directory describes FLOYD HUEN as Third Year student, majoring in Sociology, residing at 1737 Francisco Street, Berkeley. article mentioned above, quoted YUJI ICHIOKA as stating that Asian Americans ?have been and still are, being used politically to the detriment of oppressed minorities? According to the article, YUJI ICHIOKA declared that the AAPA intended to break the silence of the Asian~ American community on the issues now confronting America and stated that the AAPA was being formed because "all existing organizations in the Asian American community are too committed to the status guo." ICHIOKA was further quoted as stating: "we must redefine our relationship to the Black, Mexican~American and Indian liberation movements," and to a nation "which now shows every evidence of liquidating Black people? and which'is ?waging the politically and morally insane war in Vietnam.? The "Berkeley Barb" A0kt1225 b6 b'?C SF In midaJune, 1968, SF T-l advised that the newly formed AAPA was planning to sponsor a forum on June 30, 1968 at Berkeley, for the purpose of discussing and promoting unity among minority groups. According to SF T?l, the program -was being arrange- YUJI ICHIOKA, who planned to include as a speaker, BOBB of the BP . According to SF T-l, the AA is principa composed of American citizens of Chinese.and Japanese ancestry, but includes in lesser numbers, individuals of Korean and Filipino descent. SF T-l estimated the initial size of the AAPA as between thirty to fifty persons, chiefly students, teachers and social workers. SF T-l stated that the group had yet been formally organized and was meeting on Sundays at the apartment of YUJI ICHIOKA. According to SF T?l the AAPA appears to be reformist and liberal rather than radical in its outlook, but has a general attitude of militant, antiwestablishment feelings which may lead it to be both an activist and a propaganda oriented - organization. The I?Berkeley Barb" issue dated June 28-July 6, 1968, carried an article entitled "Yellow Power," stating that a :Yellow Power? rally would be held at 155 Dwinelle Hall on b6 the campus, under the sponsorship of the AAPA, and that b7r speakers would include GEORGEEWU of theo?ua_ghing, of the Black Panthers, ANTONIO the Alianga, and MASAO Professorkof English.h?

WOO said he made it clear he was not present as a spokesman of the Wah Ching Club, but rather as a representative of Chinese youth in general as a minority group. WOO said he was not a member of the AAPA, but added that he agrees with the AAPA contention that the United States is a white-dominated racist society and that- minority groups, whether Negro or Oriental, must organize and agitate if they are to secure their full rights as Americans. WOO stated he was aware that the AAPA helped the EFF to picket the Alameda County Court House at Oakland, California when the trial of.the BPP leader HUEY NEWTON began and added that although he did not personally participate in the action, he feels that the crime for which HUEY NEWTON was being tried resulted from a situation created by White- racist discrimination. WOO said he hopes that social changes can occur without the violent upheaval advocated by the EFF. Regarding the AAPA, WOO stated this group is led by a JapanesewAmerican named YUJI ICHIOKA and that the members are mostly students at the UCFB. He said the AAPA was formed to provide Asian-Americans a forum to express their identity apart from the dominant, White?controlled social structure in America. WOO claimed that existing Chinese-American groups conform to the White social and political standrads, and that there is a real need for a group like the AAPA to provide Asians Americans a separate and self-defined identity in America. SF 100-61299 In August, 1968, SF T-l furnished information concerning the symposium sponsored.by the AAPA at Berkeley, on July 28, l968. According to SF T-l, this symposium was_ held at l55 Dwinelle Hall, at the UC-B, and was attended by approximately 125 persons, of which 90% were Oriental, while three were Black and the others were Caucasians. He said the master of ceremonies was the AAPA leader, FLOYD HUEN, who is also Chairman of the Chinese Students Association at the First speaker was MASAO MIYOSHI of the English Department at UC-B, who called.for an end to American involvement in Vietnam. Next Speaker was GEORGE WOO who spoke about Hong Kong born youths in San Francisco, who have the reputation of being juvenile delinquents and who need_jobs and education. SF Tel advised that outside speakers at the Symposium included ANTONIO MONDRAGON of the Brown Berets and the Alianza Federal de Mercedes of New Mexico, who spoke on Mexican-American problems, and a Filipino-American student from San Francisco State College, who spoke as a representative of PACE, full name, Phillipine American Collegiate Endeavor. According to SF T-l, BOBBY SEALS of the BPP did not attend or speak at the symposium announced, and the speakers representing the AAPA discussed the program of the AAPA to oppose racism, to support the preservation of the cultural identitges of Oriental peoples, and to work for the repeal of that portion of the McCarran Act which provides for detention camps in time of national emergencies. In August, 1968, SF advised that during the evening of August 6, l968, an "unofficial" meeting of Chinese college age youth was held at the Chinatown-NorthBeach Office of the Economic Opportunity Council 1074 Stockton St., San Francisco, under the direction of Director of the Chinatown?North Beach Summer Youth Proge The unusual?reature 6i this meeting, according to Sf'Tw2, was that at the close of the meeting, a Chinese girl stood in the exit hallway and passed out buttons to anyone who would take them. The buttons were of two types. one bearing the words, and the other bearing a large Chinese character, Tung CTC 2639,Ewhich means surrounded by the name, AMERICAN POLITICAL Aok?1231 Fur the ECSA. it SF 100?61299 SF stated that at a subsequent meeting of the 1 staff of the Chinatown?North Beach Office of the EOC, one staff member pointed out that the Chinese character, Tung CTC 2639, is the symbol used by the Chinese Communist leader MAO Tze?tung, while another stated that the AAPA was a political organization and was anti?government in its attitude. The con? clusion reached was that the ECG was funded by the Government and that no politically oriented activities should be permitted on its premises. SF TH2 further advised that an open forum was planned to be held Saturday, August 17, 1968 at the Cumberland I Presbyterian Church of Chinatown, 865 Jackson St., San Francisco, under the sponsorship of a number of Chinese student organizations, including the AAPA. Source made available a leaflet headed "Open Forum,? which gave-the schedule of the meeting to be held at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, indicating it would last from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm. Subsequently, in August, 1968, SF advised that I during the above meeting on August 1968, protest signs were prepared and plans made for a protest march in Chinatown, that was held on the evening of August 1968. SF T-2 also madeI available a copy of a mimeographed paper called the "Voice of Youth," dated August 25, 1968, published by the Summer Youth Program of the Chinatown~North Beach Office of the EOC. This paper contained an article concerning the protest-march held in the San Francisco Chinatown on the evening of August 17, 1968 and the speechmaking afterwards in Portsmouth Square. The article indicated there were approximately 150 marchers and that the march had been initiated by the Intercollegiate Chinese for Social Action (ICSA), which has a clubhouse at l/2 Clay Street. Another article in the "Voice of Youth" dated august 25, 1968, discussed the Open Forum held at Cumberland Presbyterian Church prior to the protest march and in listing the Speakers, indicated at the day was summed up by FLOYD HUEN of the AAPA) and MASQHHESEC, President of 10 Aokb1232 SF 100-61299 SF T-2 stated that quite a number of the persons participating in the above mentioned protest march wore the or the AAPA badges described above. According to SF T-Z, the march was orderly and included social workers, religious leaders, educators, and some Chinatown professionsl people, as well as students. Approxim- - ately 905 of the marchers were Chinese, but the non-Chinese included one of the elected Supervisors of San Francisco. According to SF newspaper accounts of the protest march, it was precipitated by the closing of the Il Piccolo Coffee House in Chinatown, which had been the gathering place of the Wah Ching Club. - According to SF T?l, a number of members of the AAPA from Berkeley, California, participated in the Open Forum and the protest march in the San Francisco Chinatown on August 17, 1968, but it was not under the direction of the AAPA. AAPA members ide ti?ied as participating?i elude: FLOYD HUEN, ALVMQ, BEWNG, WAI 1 A new and LILLIAN FAEROS. The "San Francisco Examiner,? daily newspaper in its 'issue dated August 27, 1968, carried an article entitled: ?Newton Casts A.Long Shadow."_ This article concerned the murder trial of leader HUEY NEWTON at Oakland, California. The article indicated that the demonstration at the Alameda County Court House on August 26, 1968 was the second largest since the start of the trial and that among the more than 800 persons present were Orientals who carried a banner which read: AMERICAN POLITICAL ALLIANCE SUPPORTS and a sign which stated: PERIL SUPPORTS BLACK In August, 1968, SF T-3 advised he is very well acquainted with the family FLOYD HUEN. SF Te3 said that FLOYD HUEN's father TAK PIN is retired from the United States Navy and is a very patri ic American, proud of the citizenship he received by naturalization while serving in the Navy. SF T-3 added that TAK PING HUEN is very upset about activities in the AAPA, and had to be dissuaded by other family members from ordering FLOYD to leave home unless he was ready to abandon such activities. SF T-3 said FLOYD HUEN had no apparent interest in social problems when he entered the University of California, and his family expected him to pre-' pare himself for a career in science. SF T-3 stated that after attending the UCHB FLOYD HUEN changed his major to sociology and began to neglect his studies and to spend his time in campus politics. SF T-3 stated in August, 1968, that he had questioned FLOYD HUEN about his activity in the AAPA. According to SF l1 Asks-1233 _in which group FLOYD HUEN serves as SF 100-61299 FLOYD HUEN stated that he was vice-president of the AAPA, an organization which he and a few friends had started at the UCHB. FLOYD HUEN told SF T-3 the AAPA was founded to work for equal rights for persons of Asian origin living in the United States, but also supports equal rights for all nonewhite' minority groups, According to SF FLOYD HUEN stated the AAPA does not advocate violence as a method of protest, but feels that the violence displayed in recent encounters be- tween Negro extremist groups and the police has not been the fault of the Negroes, but has been caused by the disH 'criminatory attitude of the White community toward the Negro community. In August, 1968, SF Tel advised that a meeting of the AAFA had been held on August 25, l968 in Eshelman Hall in the chambers of the Senate of the Associated Students of the UC-B, a Student SEnator. SF T~l_ said about 40 persons were present and heard various speakers, including BEN TONS, who identified himself as a high school teacher, and as the AAPA representative in the protest march held August 1968 in San FRancisco. According to SF T?l, FLOYD HUEN reported to the group concerning AAPA participation in a national annual convention of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) held at San Jose, California on August 2l, 1968. HUEN reported that approximately 20 AAPA members went to the JACL convention in San Jose where they were joined by six more AAPA members who were also members of the JACL. According to SF Tel, HUEN stated the objective of the AAPA in attEnding the convention, was to instill a spirit of militancy into the Japanese civil rights movement, and the AAFA strategy was to have members of the AAFA attend and attempt to dominate the proceedings of the six workshops into which the convention was divided. talked and In September, 1968, SF T-3 stated he had recently with FLOYD HUEN about the latter's activities at the the relatio ship of the AAFA to the controversy which had arisen over the de ision of the University of California Regents to limit outs'de speakers, to just one approved lecture, which had of approving only one lecture by the EFF leader, EAVER. According tO SF Th3, FLOYD HUEN stated that ad decided not to become directly involved in this controversy. SF T?Eisaid that FLOYD HUEN declared that both he and the AAFA president, YUJI ICHIOKA, have no intention of doing anything against the law or against established school regulations. SF T-3 advised he had recently talked with FLOYD father and had found the latter is still upset about Aokh1234 12 SF 100h61299 his son?s activity in campus politics at the and his con? sequent neglect of his studies. SF said that according to the father of FLOYD HUEN, the latter is Spending much time away from.home in connection with student politics, and recently went to the Los Angeles area to talk with students interested in affiliating with the AAPA. In September, 1968, SF Tul advised that a general meeting of the AAPA, held at Eshelman Hall of the on September 22, 1968, had been attended by me 30 persons, According to SF T?l, FLOYD HUEN and WAI UON, also known as Pgugf??bn, reported about a meeting which they had had at Los with an Oriental Student Club which contemplated affiliation with the AAPA. Among other reports made at this AAPA meeting, according to SF T?l, was a report by FLOYD HUER, WAI KIT QUON and BEN TONS concerning the problems of youth gangs in the San Francisco Chinatown. This report indicated the AAPA hoped to assist those youthst who are recent immigrants and who have been inVolved in assaults, burglaries, and other crimes. This report also attacked the Chinese Six Companies (Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association of San Francisco), as a reactionary, repressive organization which was seeking to label the AAPA as a communist dominated group. SF T?l advised that reports were also made at the meeting on September 22, l968 concerning the status of the AAPA at various . Bay Area colleges. Source indicated that PENN KATSU, of_ Japanese Descent, reprted concerning conditio s?at San Francisco State College, stating that other Oriental groups already existed there and that it was difficult to attract Orientals into AAPA mbership. The report for Haywa State College was made by Caucasian wife of who indicated the outloo for the AAPA was bleak at Hay ard because the campus atmosphere was conservative and the campus rules were res rictive. The report for the was made by FLOYD HUEN and RICHA _f OKIE, who recommended that the AAPA remain primarily concerned with Orientals but that it should also continue to work with Afroe American organizations. According to SF T?l, FLOYD HUEN, who is a member of the Senate of the Associated Students of the recommended that the AAPA work through that organization rather than becoming involved in militant demonstrations which 3 might lead to violence. W. Aokbl235 13 SF 108r61299 In October, 1968, SF T?l advised that the AAPA met on September 29, 1968 in the Student Senate Chamber of Eshelman Hall at the to draft a position paper on the . controversy as to whether the BPP leader, ELDRIDGE CLEAVER, v/ should be permitted to give several lectures in a course on racism at the UC-B. SF T-l made available a copy of the statement or manifesto which was printed with the date September 30, 1968, issued at a press conference on October 2, 1968 and which was distributed to interested'people on the campus of the - This manifesto dated September 30, 1968 declared: "The Board of Regents of the University of California is racist and illegitimate,? and stated: "We demand that the Academic Senate liberate itself from the Board of Regents and support all student initiated courses, including Social Analysis_139x as originally conceived.? (Course l39X is the course on racism which had scheduled the BPP leader CLEAVER to give a series of ten lectures.) The manifesto declared in part: "The racist mechanisms of oppression are accelerating. To avoid racial holocaust, we must begin to politically educate ourselves and our respective communities to the real nature of the system which controls this country and much of the world; an illegitimate and hypocritical interlocking directorate of political?economic, and exploitation. 'This system oppresses people of all races, but eXpecially deprives non?whites of their livelihood. But we have not lost our humanity; on the contrary, we, as Asians in America, hava a unique perspective exploited, yet not sucked into the system. It is our goal to liberate ourselves from this de? humanizing system by redefining ways of life so that we can be_ourselves.? The manifesto was issued by the POLITICAL ALLIANCE, UC Group, 510 Eshelman Hall," and attached to the manifesto was a list of "Perspectives" which is identical_f to the statement in the leaflet described above as having been distributed on the campus of the UCHB in July, 1968. The October 3, 1968 issue of the "Daily Californian", a student newspaper published at UCHB, carried an article stating that representatives of the Black faculty and of Third world student groups of the UC-B, issued statements at a press conference on October 2, 1968, opposing the decision by the Regents of the University of California, to bar the BPP leader, ELDRIDGE CLEAVER, from giving a series of ten on?campus lectures at the The article said that MANUEL DELGADG, Chairman of the Mexican~American Student Confederation condemned the Regent?s decision as "racist and irresponsible," and that the AAPA,represented by RICHARD OKI, expressed similar sentiments. l4 SF 100?61299 The article quoted a part of the statement read by AOKI and these quotations were identical to statements appearing in the above mentioned manifesto dated September 30, 1968. It is noted that the September 30, 1968 issue of ?Hokubel a West Coast newSpaper for JapaneseHAmericans, carried an article concerning a meeting at Berkeley, California on . September 26, 1968 Sponsored by the Republican Party Committee for Alameda County and presided over by former Senator WILLIAM F. KNOWLAND. The article indicated that 75% of the audience were Japanese-Americans, many of had come to protest a remark by the Republican Vice~Presidentia1 candidate in which he called a Japanese-American reporter, a "fat Japu" The article stated that RICHARD AOKI, speaking for the AAPA, vigorously denounced Mr. AGNEW's remark as a "racist epithet" and stated: "We, as members of a racial minority, do not feel amused by racist type humor at our expense. We must reluctantly concur with the Kerner Commission's finding that White racism is the fundamental cause of civil disorders in this The article indicated that at the conclusion of ADKI's remarks, all members of the AAPA dramatically got up and walked out of the meeting. According to the article, the audience was reduced to about one half of the approximately sixty persons who had been present before the walkout. In October, 1868, SF Tul advised that the Afro- American Student Union, the Mexican-American Student Confederation and the AAPA had cooperated to form the Third World Board which would give these groups a united voice in campus affairs at the UC-B. SF said that at a meeting of the Senate of the Associated Students of the 00-8, held on October 10, 1968, FLOYD HUEN of the AAPA, in his capacity as a member of the Student Senate, introduced a motion calling for the Third World Board to be given $3,000.00 to carry on campus activity. This motion proved very controversial and about 30 Third World people, who were present in the audience, walked out, after which the student Senators voted to give $1,850.00 to the Third World Board. The October 23, 1968 issue of the "Daily Gator," a student newSpaper published at San Francisco State College (SFSC) carried an article entitled: "New Asian American organn ization views films of concentration camps.? The article in- dicated that a film about detention camps for Japanese-Americans in California during World War II was shown at the first meeting of the AAPA at SFSC. The article indicated that the AAPA organizers Ackb1237 15 La, 1 SF 100?51299 . at SFSC were Mis f? AKATSU who acted:as spokesman for . a the AAPA and ST ONE, former leader of the Servomaton Destruction Co i ee which forced down the prices charged for sodas dispensed by vending machines at NAKATSU, was reported as stating that the AAPA is the first attempt to bring the entire Asian?American'community together in one organization. She also indicated that a major program of the AAPA is to persuade the college administration to establish an ethnic studies curriculum and that the AAPA would coordinate its work at SFSC with the Third World Liberation Front and the - Intercollegiate Chinese for Social Action. On m?tober 30, 1968, SP advised that on the evening of October 29, 1968, at the Chinatown-North Beach Office of the ?00, a meeting was held to elect new area officers. Source said that in addition to the regular members of the BBC Area Board, some 50 to 80 Chinese young persons, most of whom were wearing button badges of the AAPA, were in attendance and attempted to disrupt the meeting by shouting, throwing firecrackers, and turning off t, light switches. Source said that an argument developed eenwan elderly Chinese employee of the ESC, Mr. CHURCHILKJ IU,_and a Chinese youth named ALFRED G, who was wearing an AAPA badge. SF stated that struck the face.at which time San Francisco Poli Department Community Relations Officer DONALD TONS inter? argument. SF stated that after the meeting, he noted that the walls of the stairway leading to the E00 meeting room were marked with obscene phrases and by such terms as ?Death to Pigs," which the source felt was a threat to police. Subsequently, SF T-E made available a clipping from the "San Francisco Chronicle? issue of November is, 1968, concerning an effort by striking students at the SFSC to disrupt a Spanish language class and to coerce the class members by threats into leaving class to join the strike. A photograph takenin the classroom pictured several of the group of striking students who had tried to disrupt the class. SF T-2 identified one of these students as the ALFRED WONG mentioned above, and stated that he is a senior at SFSC majoring in Chinese. Source said that ALFRED WONG frequently wears both the button badge and the other AAPA button badge which displays the character, Tung (M) CTC 2639 and the name of the AAPA. In this connection it is noted that SF T?l has been unable to identify ALFRED NONE as affiliated with the AAPA and has stated that many persons not affiliated with the AAPA weer the?button badges of the AAPA. vened to stop the Aokh1238 18 A SF 100-61299 In October, SF T-2 made available three one page leaflets which had been issued by the AAPA, One leaflet, dated October 25, 1968, concerned the Chinatown involvement of the AAPA and was prepared over the name: HUEN, AAPA Chinatown Group, 589 Eshleman Hall, UC Berkeley, Calif." The leaflet states, in part: "Although many individuals have been personally involved in Chinatown activity, AAPA as a group first made the scene on August 1968, forming a.large portion of the March line. With that beginning, AAPA formed a Chinatown Work Group, which.was to serve as the coordinating center for AAPA involvement The Concerned Chinese for Action and Change (CCAC) has served as an overall identity for ourselves and some of the veterans of Chinatown activism. We have retained our identity in the CCAC and have resolved to take more independent action in the We view what is happening in Chinatown as sympaomatic of?a larger whole, that whole being American In order to understand Chinatown's problems, we feel that we must come to understand We view our role in the current struggle as an educational We will continue to support moves to alleviate suffering and secure minimal rights for all people.

Then, he can operate intelligently and not ignorantly. This is why we are in Chinatown.? l7 SF lUUaEl299 Another of the leaflets furnished by SF T-Z was entitled: "An Understanding of the AAPA?Asian-American Political Alliance}." This undated leaflet was printed . over names: W.K. QUON and V. WONG. Accordin to SF T-l, H. OH is wax KI on, also known as AWN - i . a graduate student the UC E, ile 2: 'also known as VICTGRIA DIAN HG, an undergraduat {student at the This leafle at the bottom of the page carried the statement: can be found in San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, San Jose, Hayward (Cal Statei, Los Angeles, Chicago, Hawaii, New York, New Hampshire in some form or contact." This leaflet contains the following statements: "The Asian-American Political Alliance is a peoples alliance to effect social and political changes. We believe that the American society is historically racist and is one which has systematically employed social discrimination and economic imperialism both domestically and internationally emploiting all nonmwhite people in the process of building up their affluent society. "They did so at the espense of all of us. Un- controlled capitalism has pushed all of the non- white people into a social position that only manual jobs with subhuman pay are open to them. Consequently, we have been so conditioned by the blue-eye-blonde-hair standard that many of us have lost our perspective. "We can only survive if'he know our place' - . shut up and accept what we are given. We resent this kind of domination and we are determined to change it. "We believe that all material resources, being the fruit of all combined human effort and not the work of any single man, should be equally distributed among all human beings. Therefore, any social system which would permit any group of people to amass a fortune at the expense of all others is fundamentally unjust and immoral. Aokh1240 18 SF l?D-51299 But such is the social situation we see existing everywhere in this country and in much of the world. "Chinatown, U.S.A. is no exception. Economic and social oppression has forced Chinatown in- to a ghetto and a trap for Asian-Americans. EChinatown has two realities: One is the ghetto hang-out for the exploited and the other is the golden jackpot for the tourists and shop owners II "The racist society and its economic exploitation has created the following problems for the people in Chinatown: a second-class citizenship felling and a lost of identity. The situation is further complicated by the infusion of a bastardized version of Chinese cultural identity carried by new immigrants from Hong Kong who have been preconditioned by British colonialist education. ?In the past political organizations have tended to subject themselves to rigid, traditional levels of structure in which a few make the decisions, present them to the body, and the body can vote either yes or no. This hierarchistic organization, however,? is only a manifestation of the elite control, pyrimidal structure mentality that you are not' capable of making your own decisions, an idea drilled into you from the foundations of this society. is only what the people make it. We have adopted a structure which better fits the needs and goals of our alliance, not a structure to which we have to adjust ourselves. 19 Aokh1241 sr 100-51?99 t'EE?urthermore, there is no membership in AAPA in the strict sense of the word. There are workers who for common interests join together with one or more people to intensify the? effectiveness of an action. "The basic unit in this non-structure, in which there is a conspicuous lack of presidents, chair- mans, and the like, are the small communications/ work groups. Volunteers coordinate the activities of a particular interest group, and informal meetings of the?coordinators and general body are held periodically to keep informed of and facilitate all activities. "In this same vein, our concept of 'political' encompasses the complete redefinition of tradition- al politics, so that the necessity for personal involvement and interaction with others as human beings is realised. Thus the stress of breaking down into small groups in which trust, gg_under- standing of another's actions can make more effective a unified, political action. is only a transition for developing our own social identity, a multiplication of efforts. In fact, AAPA itself is not the important link but the ideas generated into action from it??that we Asian-Americans are no bnger going to kowtow to white America in order to gain an ounce of respect; that we must begin to build our own society along- side our black, brown, red brothers as well as with those whites willing to effect fundamental social, economic, political changes, that we have the right for determining our own lives and assert our yellow identity as a positive force in a new life based on human relationships and cooperation." 2d Aokh1242 SF l00-61299 The third leaflet furnished by SF T-2 bears the heading: "Asian-American Political Alliance,? and is entitled: AND THE MAY FOURTH This leaflet discussed the degree to which students had affected Chinese history through the strike and boycott movement which' began on May a, 1919 when five thousand students assembled in Peking, China to protest the Versailles Peace Conference, which was disposed to cede the Shangtung peninsula of China to Japan, despite the doctrine of national self-determination and Western promises to reSpect the territorial integrity of China. The leaflet pointed out that when the students per- sisted with their strike and boycott of Japanese goods, despite those who felt their actions were improper and that they should return to school, the movement spread to other parts of China, and mobilized people from all segments of society to combat imperialism and to create a new, independent China. This leaf- let concerning the May Fourth Movement and the potential of student action print er the name:21.JA. According to SF Tnl, ALvl?x??f an undergraduate student at the UC-B. In November, 1968, SF T-3 advised he had recently conversed with FLOYD HUEN concerning the latter's activities in the AAPA. According to SF T-3, HUEN claimed that the AAPA does not advocate the use of violence, and although it.sympathizes with the efforts of Afro?American groups to gain civil rights and to end racial discrimination, the AAPA has no intention of participating in any violent demonstrations such groups might initiate. HUEN told the source he was a leader of the AAPA at the UC-B and has insisted the AAPA work through the Associated Student?s Senate of which he is a member. According to SF T-3, HUEN stated that the AAPA advocates the use of available political avenues of change, and peaceful protest by orderly demonstrations and the distribution of informative material. In November, 1968, SF T-H, a social worker of Chinese descent, who has been prominent in the San Francisco Chinatown over a period of several years, advised he has been concerned about the AAPA which is headed up at Berkeley, by a graduate student named YUJI ICHIOKA and an undergraduate student named HUBN. SF T-s said that when he and other persons concerned about youth and other problems in Chinatown, joined their efforts in a loosely organized group under the name Concerned Chinese for Action and Change (CCAC), and decided to hold an orderly march in Chinatown last August {August 1968) to protest the community's lack of concern about delinquent Chinatown youth and other social problems, 21 Ans-1243 SF 100-61299 the AAPA provided the largest segment of support from outside Chinatown. SF T-u said he was_gratified to see this interest on the part of students from the University, but noted that they seemed to have an almost professional ability in protest activity, and that some of the AAPA members who participated in the Chinatown march used terms and phrases which were quite derogatory concerning white Americans and American society in general. SF T?u said that since that time he has had several contacts with members of the AAPA and has wondered whether it might have been influenced by some communist action movement, although he has no facts to prove such influence. SF Tue stated that he had recently seen several AAPA leaflets or broadsides which indicate the AAPA sincerely believes that American government policies are racially inspired and must be confronted by direct action. He added he had noted one leaflet praising the May Fourth Movement which was started by students in Peking, China protesting the proposal of the Versailles Peace Conference to give.Japan territorial rights in China. SF T-u said there is nothing wrong with such praise, since the May Fourth Movement was an important and turning point in Chinese history, but SF T-u pointed out that the Chinese Communists {Chicoms),who really did little to make that movement a success, now claim the May Fourth Movement as a Chicom achievement. SF T-u said that this leaflet?by the AAPA could be a subtle way of going along with the Chicoms. In November, 1963, SF T-l advised that the AAPA and other minority student groups at the UC-B had received an invitation to attend a conference to be held at Montreal, Canada from November 29 through December 1, 1968. According to SF T-l, this invitation had been extended by the Los Angeles Organizing Committee for a Hemispheric Conference to End the Vietnam War . which has the address 555 North Western Ave., Room 3, Los Angeles, California. Later in November, 1968, SF T-l advised that four members of the AAPA, all students at the were planning to attend the conference in Montreal. SF T-l identified these four as follows: .FLOYD PAUL QUON, .. a known as MAI KIT VICCI WONG, also known as VICTORIA and LILLIAN FABROS. According to SF T?l, the sponsoring 22 Aoki-1244 SF 100-61299 organization at Los Angeles, through which the AAPA re- ceived an invitation to attend, was the Peace Action Council at Los Angeles, California . A characterization Appendix On November 29, 1968, SF made available a copy of the manifest of a chartered flight of American Flyers Airline, North Hollywood, California, which departed Los Angeles at 11:00 pm, November 1958 for Montreal, Canada. According to source, this flight was chartered by the PAC to transport California area persons to the Hemisphere Conference to End the War in Vietnam (HCEWV). Included in this manifest were the following names and addresses: FLOYD HUEN, 1737 Francisco, Berkeley, California. LILLIAN FABROS, 2001 Hearst, Berkeley, California VICKIE WONG, 2005 Hearst, Berkeley, California. WAI KIT QUON, 2000 Dana, Berkeley, California. Regarding the above mentioned Montreal Conference, it is noted that SF has advised this conference was organized almost entirely by the Canadian and the American Communist Parties for the specific purpose of discussing the war in Vietnam. According to SF T-G, the Communist Party leaders were forced to broaden the scope, by representatives of Black militant groups who wanted to discuss racism in America and its relationship to American imperialism, by representatives of the so?called "New Left" who felt the HemiSphere Conference should be against American imperialism rather than just against the war in Vietnam, and by representatives from Quebec who wanted the conference to deal with the issue of independence for Quebec. According to SF the delegates from North Vietnam and from the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam appeared before the conference and a resolution was adopted sternly condemning what was termed "the criminal war the 0.8. government has been carrying out the Vietnamese people," and wholeheartedly supporting the "heroic Vietnamese people's struggle for their fundamental The resolution called upon opinion in the Western Hemisphere "to sternly condemn the 0.3. government for its continued war of aggression in Vietnam and to demand that the U.S. government Vietnam."

(PAUL T. TAKAGI is a Lecturer in the School of Education and Associate Specialist in Criminology at the ISAO FUJIMOTO is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of California at Davis, California. In Augu t, '967, SF T-8 advised that ISAO and JIMOTO of Davis, Calif. had indicated th intention to attend?t??zNational Conference For New Politics (NCNP), being held in Chicago, Illinois over the Labor Day weekend of 1967. SF has described the NCNP as a national convention including liberal and leftist political elements, black militants, civil rights organizations, the Communist Party, USA, and the Socialist Workers Party, which was unsuccessful in its purpose of 25 SF 100-61299 attempting the unification of leftist political elements into a major third party in the United States political system.

LARRY JACK WONG, formerly an associate pastor at a church in the San Francisco Chinatown, is now?employed by the BOC at San Francisco. In recent months, by his public denunciations of the "Chinatown establishment," and his vocal support of militant demonstrations, he has incurred the dislike of Chinatown conservatives.) The ?Bast-West?article indicated that the Rev. WONG's remarks were followed by confusion and chaos, with militant students demanding the doption of resolutions. Qa?gg The Master of Ceremonies, withdrew to caucus with other leaders of the spon oring clubs, and relinquished his position to FLOYD HUBN. According to WANG's article, the subject matter of the conference was then shifted to the student riots at San Francisco State College (SFSC), and a resolution was proposed supporting the demands which the Black Students Union and the Third World Liberation Front at SFSC have made against the administration of that institution. By the time that GREG MARK and other leaders of the sponsoring clubs had returned from their caucus, many representatives of the sponsoring clubs were demanding that control of the con- ference be returned to GREG MARK, and that the conference either return to its original agenda or adjourn. According to the "East-West? article, GRBG MARK read a statement dis-i associating the sponsoring clubs from any resolutions that might be adopted, while another sponsoring official declared the conference adjourned. The article further indicated that the conference was then left to the control of FLOYD HUEN and many of the audience departed, although others stayed to fight against the resolution.

The article declared that the unifying factor of the conference was the "presence of the Vietnamese, and what they represented: the long long struggle, of a valiant people for self-determination and one Vietnam, against the weaponry and might of US imperialism." According to this newspaper article,, "Four AAPA-Berkeley people attended the Hemispheric Conference satin Montreal, Canada on November 28-31. They joined with 19 others from the Bay Area in protesting the format for the with the aid of New York and California Black Panthers, rushed and seized the podium during the progress of the meeting. The Radical Caucus demanded that funds be raised to allow BOBBY SEALE (BPP leader) to come and address the Conference, and that the 'Young Turks' be allowed representation on the steering committee. After a brief scuffle and hooting from the audience of peaceniks and assorted old left people, the demands were granted.".Keeping in mind the sensitivity of the Conference, due to the presence of Democratic Republic of Vietnam and NLF Delegates, the Radical Caucus demanded that the thrust of the Conference change from a 'peace in Vietnam' convocation to a 'stop U.S. imperialism' organizing Aokh1249 2?

The article stated: "The tone of the YBA.Conference was a 'yellow power, yellow pride' one, with an AAPA person as the keynote speaker." The article said the YBA Conference was particularly valuable because "leaders" from all over the state were in attendance. The article added that the Rev. FUJIMOTO, Head Buddhist Minister of the Northern California area, "labeled much of the AAPA philosophy as Buddhistic, particularly the emphasis on individual initiative and self-will" and the article commented that this was in contrast to the emphasis of the YBA leadership. The AAPA newspaper for January, 1969 carried another article stating that the AAPA, on December ll, 1968, had se- cured final approval from the university authorities for a student-initiated course entitled "The Evolution of the Asian in America," and indicated that approval was pending for another studentwinitiated course which would be entitled:*hsian Student Movements."

This article expressed the opinion that Chinatown young men are "culturally and institutionally deprived by the American society" of many of the alternatives and deferments provided by the Selective Service System.

Also, for the first time, we began to involve the people of the slum districts (Butaku) and the Koreans. {The 600,000 Koreans inside Japan are oppressed as a ion in much the same Way that Black ople are in the United States.) Nevertheless, the struggle was a litary fiasco. In three days 2500 were ar sted. The eight organizations which .participated in the struggle could not poordinate the actigns among themsel; Es. Not only were they separate from _ch other, but political and military hangs within each group failed to come to gether. The action became spontaneous.

THIRD WORLD LEBERATIO CONFID TEAL The Third World Libera i Front (TWLF) is a coalition of non-white student groups, namely Black,-Chicano (Hexican~American), Filipino, Chinese, and Japanese. A member of the TWLF was quoted as saying, ?The first world is the capitalist world, the second world is the Communist white world, and the third world is the nonuwhite world composed of people'from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The first two worlds suppress the nonuwhite people whether in or out of their own countries.' We do not distinguish on national lines. We do not relate to countries because by and large they do not represent people." TWLF selfwdescribed itself as "It opposed the oppressive enslavery and colonialist system in the United States and it was dedicated to preparing for a prolonged struggle for freedom in Asia, Africa, and Latin America as well as the United States." TWLF stated its purpose is to initiate discussion and develop programs pertinent to the needs of third world (non?white) students, to aid further in developing politically, economically, and culturally the revolutionary "Third World" consciousness of racist-oppressed people; we recognize the struggles for freedom of non-white peoples around the world as a positive part of our educational processes.

BLACK . PANT PARTY aka Black Panther Party for Self Defense According to its official newspaper, the Black Panther Party (BPP) was started during December, 1966, in Oakland, California, to organize black people so they can take control of the life, politics, and the destiny of the black community. It was organized by Bobby George Beale, BPP Chairman, and Huey P. Newton, BPP Minister of Defense. iNewton is presently serving a sentence of 2 to l5 years on a conviction of manslaughter- in connection with the killing of an Oakland police officer. The official newSpaper, "The Black Pahther,? which further describes itself as the ?Black Community News Service," states that the advocates the use of guns aid guerrilla tactics in its revolutionary program to end oppression of the black people. Residents of the black communitl are urged to arm themselves against the police who are consistently referred fto in the publication as "pigs" who should be killed. "The Black Panther" issue of September ?,_1968, contains an editorial by BPP Minister of Education, George Mason Murray, which ends with the following: - . "Black men. Black people,.colored persons of America, revolt everywhere! Arm yourselves. The only culture worth keeping is a revolutionary culture. Change. Freedom everywhere. Dynamite! Black Power. Use the gun. Kill the pigs everywhere." Included in the introduction to an article appearing in the October 5, l958, edition of "The Black Panther" is the statement, will not dissent from American Government. We will overthrow it.? Issues of 1"I?he Black Panther" regularly contain quotations from the writings of Chairman MAO Tseutung of the People's Republic of China and feature MAO's statement that I?political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." The national headquarters of the is located at 3105 Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley, California. Branches have been established at various locations throughout the United States. I I APPENDIX Its-1. .

TOM has admitted to the FBI that Red Guard members possess firearms and regularly study the writings of Chinese Communist Party Chairman MAO Tse?tung. According to its official newspaper, "Red Guard Community News," the Red Guard advocates that Orientals arm themselves against Vracist police oppression," that Orientals be allowed to determine their own destinies, that all Orientals' be freed from incarceration, and that the United States recognize the People's Republic of China and Chairman MAO as "the true leader of the Chinese people."' The March 12, 1969 edition of this publi? cation contains the following, which is addressed to the "revolu- tionary people of Chinatown": ?You.will not be powerful until you haVe an ideology common to the revolutionary people of the world.

Home STUDENTS FOR A 7 . A source has advised that the Students For A Democratic Society as presently regarded, cane into being at a founding convention held June, 1962, at Port Huron, Michigan.' From an initial posture of "participatory democracy" the line of_the national leadership has revealed a growing Marxist-Leninist adherence which currently calls for the building of a revoluh tionary youth movement. Concurrently, the program of SDS hasI evolved from civil rights struggles to an anti-Vietnam war E. stance to an advocacy of a militant anti-imperialist position. China, Vietnam, and Cuba are regarded as the leaders of world? wide struggles against United States imperialism whereas the - Soviet Union is held to be revisionist and also imperialist. At the June, 1969, SDS National.Convention, Progressive Labor Party (PLP) forces in the organization were expelled. As a result, the National Office group maintained its National Headquarters at 1608 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois, and the PLP faction set up headquarters in Cambridge,?Massachusetts. This headquarters subsequently moved to Boston. Each group elected its own national officers, which include three national secretaries and a National Interim Committee of eight. Both the N0 forces and the PLP forces claim to be the true-SD34 Both groups also.print their versions of "New Left Notes? which sets forth_the line and the program of the particular faction. The N0_version of "New Left Notes" was recently printed under the title "The Fire Next Time? to achieve a broader mass appeal. .H . - Two major factions have developed internally within the NO-group, namely, the Weatherman or Revolutionary Youth Movement I faction, and the RYM II faction. Weatherman is action- oriented upholding position that the duty of revolutionaries is to make revolution. weatherman is regarded by RYM II as an adverturistic, elitist faction.which denies the historical role of the working class as the base for revolution. REM II maintains that revolution, although desired, is not possible under present condie tions, hence emphasizes organizing and raising the political consciousness of the working class upon whom they feel successful revolution depends. Although disclaiming control and domination by the Communist Party, USA,-leaders in these two factiohs have in the pastIroclaimed themselvee to be communists and to follow the precepts of a Marxist?Leninist philosophy, along pro-Chinese communist lines. A second source has advised that the PLP faction which is more commonly known as the Worker Student Alliance is dominated and controlled by members of the PLP, who are required to identify themselves with the pro-Chinese Marxist-Leninist philosophy of the PLP. They advocate that an alliance between workers and students is vital to the bringing about of a revolution-in the United States. - 2.1- i- . .

A source advised on June 3, l963, that the PLP held its Second National ConVention in New York City, May Bl to June 2, 1963, at which time the PLP reasserted its objective of the establishment of a militant working class movement based on Marxism?Leninism. This is to be accomplished through the Party's overwall revolutionary strategy of raising the consciousness of the people and helping to provide ideological leadership in the working class struggle for state power. .

Terumasa Hatano is one of the leaders of the "communist league" faction of the Zenkyoto movement. The league consists mostly of students. ex-students, and street people. Reese Erlioh is one of the Oakland Seven organizers of the 1967 Stop The Draft week who were tried and acquitted of criminal conspiracy. Reese Erlich interviewed Terumasa in Berkeley, in January, 1976. This pamphlet is a transcription of that interview and incorporates portions of an address?Terumasa made . up" _7gokr714 . What similarities do you find between the U.S. and Japanese movements?-particularly university demonstrations like the one at Tokyo University last year? Our struggle at Tokyo University was just year ago: January 18-19, 1969. At that time our radical movement, which had divided in 1966 because of differences over the Vietnam War, became a more violent movement. Formerly it had been peaceful and none violent. After that battle we were able to mobi- lize thousands of students to our side. Tokyo University is the best school in Japan. Every high school kid wants to enter this Univer? sity; seventy per cent of Japan's power elite graduates from there. This University has a very bad educational system, especially the medical school. We began by demanding changes in the ar? chaic intern system. But very quickly our move" ment changed from a reformist to a-revoiutionary struggle. We were able to link the demands for . campus reform with political demands for Vietnam, victory to the National Li- beration Front, and an end to the U.S.-Japan Security Treaty. we fought around a seven point.program: l) Reform of the medical educational system. 2) Recognize the union of young doctors at Tokyo i University hospital. 3) Amnesty for striking students. 4} End all examinations because they induce a system of false rankings among the people. 5) Remove police from campus. 6) Student control of the University. During the struggle we added -a another demand. Y) Destroy the existing Univer? sity because any University in this society has the function of oppressing, not educating people. The University must serve the people, help us liberate ourselves and the oppressed people of Japanese societymow?715 . I . . .- I . After the battle at Tokyo UniVersity. stu? dents occupied 130 universities and colleges across the country. Last Autumn high school students occupied about 30 of their schools. Last October telephone company workers occupied the telephone office in Osakawwthe second ilargest city in Japan. - As a result of the?struggle at Tokyo-Univer- sity and other battles, we now have a.specially trained ?Red Army.? It is a military organization trained in urban guerilla warfare. This group supports mass militant street demonstrations. When workers_struggles become militant, the Red Army comes out to help them fight pigs. we also- .'have ?partisans? and "militia" groups--that is]r 'part time soldiers. They are still workers or students, but when necessary, they become soldiers. They meet in small groups every day for military and political training. Our movements are similar in many ways. we both have "new left" movements-?independent from any kind of authoritarian communist movement. We are very young movements, a very beautiful thing. At the same time we have no common concept of communism. We criticize to an extreme all com- munist countries. we must develop our own defi? nition of what constitutes a "good communist" or a "good Marxist-Lenninist? through practice. The group of people inside the U.S. fighting hardest for liberation are blacks. Are there similar oppressed groups in Japan? About 600,000 Koreans live in Japan. They in slums with poor housing, education and job opportunities; just like blacks here. In my opinion they don?t have as good a movement as do blacks in this coun- try. Since last summer several groups have started Irevolutionary organizations among Koreans. They 2 nu-un?on - - I . - 1 I call for the lib eration of South Korea and for the formation of the ir own state within Japan. i But most Koreans are still at a civil rights stage-~like the movement here led by Martin Luther - King. The largest organization among Koreans is an organization of South Kereans--of course a bourgeois organization. A much smaller one at? filiates with North Korea. But their propaganda is all directed to proving North Korean accom- plishments, nothing about a revolution-among Koreans living in Japan. There is a pressing need for revolutionaries to organize them in high schools, factories, etc.; but Koreans don't trust 3 Japanese because of our history of oppression- against their people. So it is the same as whites trying to organize blacks in this country. I .1. Hun- d- -.-. .- Elia. I:th demonstrate against Premier Sate last November? we demonstrated against the U.S.?Japan . f? Treaty, what we call ?Ampo.". - Under this treaty the U.S. has about l?0 military bases in Japan and another ll?? in Okinawa. Virtually all of Japan is a giant military base for the U.S. U.S. planes fly from these bases every day to bomb Vietnam. The Japanese and U.S. Army cowordinate their activities to oppress people in South East Asian countries. . The Sato government has a clear plan to send troops once again into South Korea. (editor's note: Korea was a Japanese colony for 40 years before world War II) We don't want these bases. Why did hundreds of thousands of Japanese Because of negotiations in washington D.C. - last November, Okinawa will return to Japanese control. But this is not a victory for'the re?

"Liberate Okinawa."' ?Fight against U.S. imperialism, U.S. bases, and U.S. domination in Okinawa." Our slogan is international. hBut these slogans are not the majority view. Some'students still have a nationalistic slogan: "Return Okinawa_to Japan." What occurred at those demonstrations? Seven hundred thousand students and workers, Socialist and Communist Party . people, demonstrated against Sato?s visit to Washington. Twentyafive-thonsand parti- cipated in militant demonstrations in down? .town Tokyo. The Socialist Party only held mass rallies??no struggle.

Mn- Eu. infant-aw It was a very successful demonstration be? -cause we were able to mobilize thousands of young workers. It was also the first time young workers '.armed themselves for defense against pig attacks. They fought like students. The molotov cocktail became our most popular weapon. We escalated our tactics and still mobilized massive numbers of .workers, slum people, high school and college .students. - That day the pig repression was very strong. -In a military sense, the day was not very success? ful. The pigs were too strong. Over 2,500 were arrested during the two days of demonstrations. In the last six months, the government has jailed over 10,000 people. Ninety per cent of our best organizers are now in jail. So it is very dif? ficult to maintain a violent movement in the streets in this Winter season.

Finally the courts decided they were. In this country there is a lot of talk about youth culture and leading alter- native life styles. Are there similar ideas or movements in Japan? Our movement is more political than culw We probably should be more re- laxed. Of course we have hippies. They ?gg; look the same all over the world. But in Japan they?re not so good. Japan is an Americanized society. So in Japan hippies also 'exist: not because they are opposed to bourgeois authority, but because they are just copying .American Values. Sometimes hippies are people who have dropped out from political activity. When we occupied the universities, many new people joined our movement. Now we have a "new hippy? tendency. For example, they use barricades to create new art forms: paintings and dances. We call serious political rallies; they make pro- paganda through theater. These "new hippies" have organized the protests against the Expo '70 in Osaka for next Fall. They demand a cultural revolution. They publish underground.papers and caricature papers. They are the second front of our movement. Do those people or other movement people in Japan turn on; use marijuana and other drugs? . Jaime?720 {?u-an Most hippies don't use mairjuana, because it's very difficult to get. Hippies turn - on with paint thinner and other bad things i like that. Political people don?t use drugs.

On the other hand, you don?t have to turn on in order - 3 to become a revolutionary. In fact the movement 3 in this country would probably be better off if i people didn't turn on so much. I have heard in this country that people may be hippies before they become political. Turning on breaks down the authoritarianism of American society and then they recognise political issues. . In Japan our movement began with the Communist I Party. The young, student movement finally Split . i with the C.P. We, too, tried to destroy the hm authoritarianism not only with traditional .Japanese society, but within the C.P. So in this way our thinking is similar. ..- m. Is there anything American youth can do to show solidarity with Japanese students i and workers? Yes, on June 15, 1970 we will have another mass demonstration against the final ap? proval of the U.S.?Japan Security Treaty.

I ?.74 --laAokF721 ~E?i if BLACK PANTHER PARTY, aka Black Panther Party for Self Defense According to its official newspaper, the Black Panther Party (BPP) was started during December, 1988, in Oakland, California, to organize black people so they can take control of the life, politics, and the destiny of the black community. It wasiorganized.by Bobby George Seale, Chairman, and Huey P. Newton, Minister of Defense. Newton is presently serving a sentence of 2 to 15 years on a conviction of manslaughter in connection with the killing of an Oakland police officer. The official newspaper, T?The Black Panther," which further describes itself as the "Black Community News Service,? states that the advocates the use of guns and guerrilla tactics in its revolutionary program to end oppression of the black people. Residents of the black community are urged to arm themselves against the police who are consistently referred ?to in the publication as "pigs" who should be killed. "The Black Panther" issue of September 7, 1958, contains- an editorial by Minister of Education, George Mason Murray, which ends with the following: "Black men. Black people, colored persons of America, revolt everywhere! Arm yourselves. The only culture worth keeping is a revolutionary culture. Change. Freedom everywhere. Dynamite! Black Power. Use the gun. Kill the pigs everywhere." Included in the introduction to an article appearing in the October 5, 1968, edition of "The Black Panther" is the statement, will not dissent from American Government. We will overthrow it." Issues of "The Black Panther" regularly contain quotations from the writings of Chairman MAO Tse?tung of the People's Republic of China and feature MAO's statement that "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." The national headquarters of the is located at A 3105 Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley, California. Branches have been established at various locations throughout the united States. APPENDIX _15gokh722 .aa?i LARGE ?The New York Times" city edition, Tuesday, April 20, 1965, page 27, reported that a new party of ?revolutionary socialism" was formally founded on April 18, 1965, under the name of the PLP which had been known as the Progressive Labor Movement. l5q According to the article, "The Progressive Labor Movement was founded in l962, by ?ilton Rosen and Mortimer Soheer after they were expelled from the Communist Party of the United States for assertedly following the Chinese Communist line,? A source advised on June 3, 1968, that the PLP held its Second National Convention in New York City, May 31 to June 2, 1968, at which time the PLP reasserted its objective of the establishment of a militant working class movement based on Marxism-Leninism. This is to be accomplished through the Party's over-all revolutionary strategy of raising the consciousness of the people and .helping to provide ideological leadership in the working class struggle for state power. The source also advised that at the Second National Convention Milton Rosen was unanimously re-elected National Chairman of the PLP and Levi Laub, Fred Jerome, Jared Israel, William.Epton, Jacob Rosen, Jeffrey Gordon, and Walter Linder were elected as the National Committee to lead the PLP until the next convention. The PLP publishes ?Progressive Labor?, a magazine; ?World Revolution," a quarterly periodical; and newspaper. The April, l969, issue of "Challenge-Desafio" sets forth that "Challenge is dedicated to the peoples fight for a new way of life-wwhere the working men and women control their own homes and factories: where they themselves make up the entire government on every level and control the schools, courts, police and all institutions which are now used to control them,? Source advised on May 8, 1969, that the PLP utilizes an address of General Post Office Box 808, Brooklyn, New York, and also utilizes an office in Room 617, Union Square West, New York, New York, assess-Ix ?15? .. . I I Community RED GUARD Also Known As Red.Dragon Party On March 20, 1969, CLIFFORD TOM, self?admitted Chairman of the Red Guard, advised FBI Agents the Red Guard was formed in March, 1969, to "bring about better conditions for the Chinese people." TOM has admitted to the FBI that Red Guard members possess firearms and regularly study the writings of Chinese Communist Party Chairman MAD Tse-tung. According to its official newspaper, "Red Guard News,? the Red Guard advocates that Orientals arm themselves against Vracist police oppression," that Orientals be allowed to determine their own destinies, that all Orientals be freed from incarceration, and that the United States recognize the People?s Republic of China and Chairman MAO as "the true leader of the Chinese people." The March l2, l969 edition of this publin cation contains the following, which is addressed to the 1?'revolu? tionary people of Chinatown": . "You will not be powerful until you have an ideology common to the revolutionary people of the world. So, you know .that the reactionary pigs are your enemies, politically and militarily. Arm yourselVes and dare to struggle and'dare to win." - The Red Guard is currently headquartered at 6l5 Jackson Street, San Francisco, California. ~17; -. 1 - . - STUDENTS FGR A DEMOCRATEC A source has advised that the Students For A Democratic Society as presently-regarded, came into being at a founding convention held June, 1962, at Port Huron, Michigan. From an initial posture of "participatory democracy" the line of the national leadership has revealed a growing Marxist?Leninist adherence which currently calls for the building of a revolu- tionary youth movement. Concurrently, the program of SDS has evolved from civil rights struggles to an anti-Vietnam war 5 -stance to an advocacy of a militant anti-imperialist position. China, Vietnam, and Cuba are regarded as the leaders of world- wide struggles against United States imperialism whereas the Soviet Union is held to be revisionist and also imperialist. . _At the June, 1969, SDS?National Convention, Progressive Labor Party forces in the organisation were expelled. As a result, the National Office (NO) group maintained its National Headquarters at 1608 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois, and the PLP faction set up headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This headquarters subsequently moved to Boston. Each group elected its own national officers, which include three national secretaries and a National Interim Committee of eight. Both the N0 forces and the PLP forces claim to be the true SDS. Both groups also print their versions of ?New Left Notes" which sets forth the line and the program of the particular faction. The NO version of "New Left Notes" was recently printed under the title "The Fire Next Time? to achieve a broader mass appeal. Two major factions have developed internally within the W0 group, namely, the Weatherman or Revolutionary Youth Movement (REM) I faction, and the RYM ll faction. Weatherman is action- oriented upholding CASTRO's position that the duty of revolutionaries is to make revolution. Weatherman is regarded by RIM II as an adverturistic, elitist faction which denies the historical role of the working class as the base for revolution.' REM II maintains that revolution, although desired, is not possible under present condir tions, hence emphasizes organising and raising the political consciousness of the working class upon whom they feel successful revolution depends. Although disclaiming control and domination by the Communist Party, USA, leaders in these two factions have in the pastlroclaimed themselves to be communists and to follow the precepts of a Marxist-Leninist philosophy, along pro-Chinese communist lines. - A second source has advised that the PLP faction which is more commonly known as the Worker Student Alliance is dominated and controlled by members of the PLP, who are required to identify themselves with the pro?Chinese Marxist-Leninist philosophy of the PLP. They advocate that an alliance between workers and students is vital to the bringing about of a revolutionain the United States. was. -13- I. sea A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY SDS regions and university and college chapters, although operating under the outlines o?.the SDS National Constitution, are autonomous in nature and free to carry out independent policy reflective of local conditions. Because of this autonomy internal struggles reflecting the major factienal interests of SDS have occurrea at the chapter level since the beginning of the 1969-70 school year. A characterization of PLP is attached. APPENDIX Acid-726 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE . FEDERAL BUREAU or INVESTIGATION .

MUSLIM GIRLS TRAINING IH On Hay lg, 1969, a source advised?that the Huslim Girls Training is a group within the Nation of Islam NOT) and is composed of all female members of the N01. The HGT is similar in structure to the Fruit of Islam (FBI), which is composed of male members of the MCI, in that the HGT has officers similar to military organizations to whom other female members are accountable. HGT members receive instructions in homemaking, hygiene, calisthenics, and other subjects such as Huslim history and the English language. There also existsa Junior HGT, which is composed of female members of the N01 who are between the ages of 15 and 19 and who are' - afforded military?type drill. SinceleET, various officers and ?sisters? of the HGT have, at meetings.of the HGT,_used the term HGT so that it also means General Civilization Class. General Civilization Class refers to classes conducted within the The above refers to activities of the HGT at Muhammad's Temple of Islam No. 2, 5335 South Greenwood, Chicago, Illinois. 0n Hay a, 1967, another source advised that in theory, the_HGT exists in all Temples of N01 and is patterned- after the HGT at Muhammad's Temple of Islam No. 2, Chicago. APPENDIX 9m? 15} NATION OF ISLAM, Formerly referred to as the Muslim Cult of Islam, also knoWn as Muhammad's Temples of Islam i: In January, 195?, a source advised ELIJAH MUHAMMAD has described his organization on a nationwide basis as the "Nation of Islam" and "Muhammad's Temples of Islam." On May 5, 196?, a second source advised ELIJAH MUHAMMAD is the national leader of the Nation of Islam Muhammad's Temple of Islam No. 2, 5335 South Greenwood AVenue, Chicago, Illinois, is the national headquarters of the and in mid-1960 MUHAMMAD and other NOI officials, when referring to organ- ization on a nationwide basis, commenced using either "Mosque" or "Temple" when mentioning one of "Muhammad's Temples of Islam." The NOI is an all-Negro organization which was originally organized in l930 in Detroit, Michigan. MUHAMMAD claims to have been selected by Allah, the Supreme Being, to lead the so-called Negro race out of slavery in the wilderness of Earth America by estab- lishing an independent black naticn in the United States. Members following MUHAMMAD's teachings and his interpretation of the 1''Koran" believe there is no such thing as a Negro; that the so-called Negroes are slaves of the white race, referred to as ?white devils," in the United States; and that the white race, because of its eXpleitation of the so-called Negroes, must and will be destroyed in the approaching "War of Armageddon." In the past, officials and members of the NOE, in- cluding MUHAMMAD, have refused to register under the pro? visions of the Selective Service Acts and have declared that members owe no allegiance to the United States. On May 5, 1958, the first source advised MUHAMMAD had, upon advice of legal counsel, tempered his personal statements and instructions to his ministers concerning the principles of his organization in order to avoid possible prosecution by the United States government; however, he did not indicate any fundamental changes in the teachings of his organization. On May 2, 1966, a third source advised MUHAMMAD had, early in July, 1958, decided to de-emphasize the religious aspects of the teachings of Islam and to stress the economic benefits to be derived by those Negroes who joined the NOI. This policy change, according to MUHAMMAD, would help him vauire additional followers and create more interest in his program. 19" mag ORGANIZATION OF AFRO-AMERICAN UNITY, (GAAU) On June 28, 195%, HALCOLH LITTLE, founder and leader of the huslim Mosque, publicly announced the formation of a new, all Hegro, militant civil rights action group to be known as the Organization of Afro- American Unity with himself as Chairman. This announcement was made at a public rally held by the MMI in 'the Audubon Ballroom, Broadway and 156th Street, New York City. A printed and published statement of basic GAAU aims read by HALCOLH at this meeting indicates that it shall include ?all? people of African descent in the Western Hemisphere, as well as ?our? brothers and sisters on the African continent. It is patterned after the r?letter and spirit? of the Organization of African Unity established (by African heads of'States} at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in May, 1963. A recording of the remarks of at this meeting indicates that the aim of the OAAU is to eliminate differences between Negroes so they can work'together for ?human rights?, while the initial objective is to ?internation? alize? the American civil rights movement by taking it to the United Nations. LITTLE condemned the non?violent civil rights movement and claims that Hegroes should be taught to protect themselves, when and if necessary. The OAAU will sponsor a program for Negroes in education, politics, culture, economics, and social reform. MALCOLM was assassinated on February 21, l965, while addressing an OAAU rally at the Audubon Ballroom, ?ew York City. On April 13, 1965, a confidential source advised that on ?arch 25, 1965, the 0AAU filed a Certificate of Incorporation with the Department of State, State of New York, Albany, New York, and henceforth, the organization's true name will be Organization of Afro-American Unity, Incorporated. .3 APPENDIX 2 "ii AokaGg .. . . .. . - .- 1 i it.

IAL PROGRESSIVE STUDENTS COMMITTEE the part of investigative agencies in the association had frightened away many of the rank and file members.

In this document TPSC supported the position of the Palestinian Arabs against Israel, branded Israel as an Imperialist tool and declared that the struggle of progressive Arab forces against Imperialism, political Zionism and Arab reactionaries would continue until final defeat of Imperialism and its allies. The statement declared that the struggle of the Vietnamese people for selfdetermination was parallel to that of the Palestinian Arabs and they represented 2 fronts of the same struggle against Imperialism and oppression.

PROGRESSIVE STUDENTS COMMITTEE the University of California at Berkeley during 196%, according to officials of that university. The "Daily Californian? for April 10, l988, carried a letter to the editor which was written by Tembedza Chigovanyika, Chairman, Tri?Coutinental Progressive Students Committee, in which he answered letters which had previously appeared in the newspaper which were critical of the rally sponsored by Tri-Con which was held on April 1, 1868. In his letter, Chigovanyika noted that Tri?Con meetings have serious objectives and goals towards which the organisationis efforts are directed and that such meetings cannot be equated with carnivals at which people merely find something to amuse themselves. He noted that the_goals and aims of Tri?Con were to encourage and to support,zmorally at least, the revolutionary forces any where which are fighting against imperialism and oppression. Since this is the objective of the Nb? of Vietnam in opposing American imperialistic and puppet forces, Tri-Con gives them applause. He declared that members of TriHCon were not going to stop applauding and giving moral support to their revolutionary brothers in Vietnam because the members are in America. Far from this, he declared that Tri-Con members were prepared to call a "devil a devil? even if they were in his house. He declared that imperialism has no bounds and that it could be economic,'political, militaristic or in nature. By whatever name it was called, it was still imperialism and people of the "third world? were laboring under American imperialism in one of these forms or another. Chigovanyika went on to say that there was no reason that TrimCon should not call a ?devil a devil? in this country since, even if they were to disregard the NLF, they could only react to the "devilis dirty acts? committed in their own countries. He declared that Tri-Con had a moral duty both to the fellow of its members and to humanity to tell the American public about the shocking things their government is committing in its name externally as well as internally. To this end, Chigovanyika declared that no one, whether it be a?naive freshman, a professor who is insensitive to the plight of humanity, or a retiring could deflect the organization from.its course. PROGRESSIVE . x. Chigovanyika ended his letter by stating, "We are determined to change the social structures imposed on our countries, hence, it is not hard to understand the extent to which the Third World has turned this era into a global revolution of the oppressed against the oppressor.?

That politics is war without bloodshed and war is politics with bloodshed, and that our blood is being shed daily simply because black people have certain political desires and needs. Politics is related to the adverse conditions that we are subjected to. I eXplained to the black brothers and sisters that politics starts with hungry stomachs, dilapidated housing, murder and brutal treatment by racist cops, unfair treat* ment received in the courts, the way black men are drafted into the military forces and are forced to fight other colored people of the world who, as brother STOKELY CARMICHAEL says, 'have never called us nigger'. now this racist dog invites, lures, and forces black people to fight in a maiming, murderous, genocidal war against people of the world while the racist police in Hunters Point and in our black communities throughout America are murdering and slaughtering black people. a black revolutionary starts preparing his people, he must let the people know in what direction they are It was explained to the brothers that they as youth who have been resisting oppression across this country must develop a tactic and unite around something 33 Acid-1299 SF lUU?S??ul I'practical and that the only practical thing that a people can unite around to seek their liberation is the that the party understands the necessity offuniting around the gun, arming ourselves in self?defense in all areas of racist "When black people cause political conse- quences because we do not receive what we want, then we are dealing in real only thing that we can do now, brothers and sisters, is to get our guns organized, forget the Ins and shoot it Out.

NEWTON, Minister of Defense, which states in part as follows: black people in America are the only people who can free the world, loosen the yolk of colonialism and destroy the war machine. As long as the wheels of the imperialist war machine are turning, 3% SF WJW/erg "there is no country that can defeat this monster of the west. But black people can make a malfunction of this machine from within. Black people can destroy the machinery that is enslaving the world. America cannot stand to fight every black country in the world and fight a civil war at the same time. It is militarily impossible to do both these things at once. "The slavery of blacks in this country provides the oil for the machinery of war that America uses to enslave the peoples of the world. Without this oil the machinery cannot function. We are the driving shaft, we are in such a strategic position in this machinery that once we become dise located, the functioning of the machinery breaks down." The July20, 1967 issue of the on page 3, columns 1 through 5, contains an article captioned "The Correct Handling of a Revolution" by Minister of Defense, HUEY P. NEWTON, which states in part as follows: this time the black masses are mishandling the resistance in this regard. ?The Vanguard Party must provide leadership for the peops. It must teach the correct strategic methods of prolonged resistance through literature and activities. If the activities of the party are respected by the people, the people will follow the example. is the primary job of the party.

When the masses hear that a gestapo policeman has been executed while sipping coffee at a counter, and the revolutionary executioners fled without being traced, the masses will see the validity of this type of approach to resistance. 1"The party must exist above ground as long as the dog power structure will ellow, and hopefully when the party is forced to go underground the message of the party will already have been put across to the people. The vanguard party's activities on the surface will necessarily be shortwlived. This is why it is important that the party make a tremendous impact upon the people before it is driven into secrecy. the Chinese revolution is investi- gated it will be seen that the Communist Party was quite on the surface so that they would be able to muster support from the revolutionary must realize that if he is sincere, death is imminent due to the fact that the things he is saying and doing are extremely dangerous.

On November 6, 1969, another former member of the Red Guard reported that he became unhappy with the Gommunist philosophy of the Red Guard and ceased his association with the group. He stated he was more in- terested in the organization known as Leway, Inc., the organization from which the Red Guard originated, because Leway ?genuinely? tried to help the young people of Ghina- town. _On November l2, 1969, SF Te3 advised that since the Red Guard has no place to meet except at the Gommittee night club, which is operated_by friends of ALEX HING, it no longer has the attraction for young Ghinese trouble makers that it did while it was located at 6l5 Jackston Street. On December l5, 1969, SF T-3 advised that . members of the Red Guard were seen frequenting 842 Kearny Street, where a draft counseling organization was located. The source stated that the rear of this address has a roo where the Red Guard reportedly congregates. On December l2, l969, a Special Agent of the FBI attended a Black Panther sponsored rally at the Glide Memorial Ghurch. A principal Speaker at this rally was ALEX HING, Ghief Spokesman for the Red Guard, publicly known as the Minister of Education for the Red Guard. HING spoke about the facist exploitation of the Ghinatown workers, ;the suppression of the government against the Asians and the -pig politicians in the United States.

It believed that the Red Guard are using a portion of the Asian.Studies office to congregate. He advised that he had observed a theater set up in the basement and was told that films are being shown by the Red Guard. The source stated that the Red Guard has dwindled down to approximately six members at the most. He advised that support for the Red Guard organization has been practically nil and that there has been no talk to the possible fact - that the organization had or was going underground. did say, however, that the Red Guard organizati is attempt- ing-to capitalize on the effect of taking credit for all things being done in Chinatown. They havehbeen trye ing to give the impression that any Chinatown project has been the direct cause of Red Guard efforts. Source stated that this information is not true since the Red Guard has been doing absolutely nothing. The source stated that among the noticeable individuals missing from the Red Guard organ? .;ization are GLIEF TOM (Chairman of the Red Guard), ,Ti and He stated that these individualswhave? ot been seen for over five or six months.

In a featured interview with ALEX HING appear- ing in a publication called which was issued on April 1, l9?0, at San Francisco by a group of Asian; Americans, HING responded to the question as to why the . Red Guard was modeled after the Black Panther Party, by saying, "We believe the Black Panther Party is the vanguard of the socialist revolution in the United States and that the Panther Party has become the movement's first truly revolutionary organization. We feel that it's up to us to support the Further in the interview, ALEX KING stated: ?In Chinatown, as a matter of fact, our main problem is the Chinese bourgeosie and it happens to be the same bourgeosie that oppressed the people in fighting the same enemy as MAO fought.? In response to the question as to how the Red Guard began to relate to the BPP, ALEX HING said: lot of people were starting to get turned on to the Black Panther Party' and what role that they played in the movement so people started to arm themselves, taking the principle that HUEY P.

On September 26, 1970, SF T-S attended a meeting sponsored by the Red Guard which was limited to only those invited. Approximately thirty persons were in attendance and HING, the principal speaker, related to the group concerning his visit to North Korea, North Vietnam and Peking. - On October 2, 1970, SF T-a advised that he attended the October First Celebration of the Chinese Communist take-over of the mainland. Source advised that he had talked briefly to ALEX RING, but nothing was said about HING's recent trip to the Far East. SF Tu? advised that althougn.HING claims to be the Minister or Information or the Red Guard, that organa ization for all intents and purposes is not functioning. He stated that the Red Guard name has been Spot lighted and therefore that organization's name has been used by various individuals who claim affiliations SF Tw? stated that R?d Guard membership is less than four or five. On October 14, 1970, SF advised that Leways has regrouped and that the organization is headquartered. at 342 Kearny Street. He advised that it did not appear that the Leways were involved in any political activities. On December 31, l970, SF T-4 advised that the Leway group had not been active politically and appears to be the same type of organization which it originally set out to be prior to the formation of the Red Guard. He stated that the Lewavsspend most of their time playing pool and cards on the premises of 842 Kearny Street. The source stated that the Red Guard is not as active as people are led to believe and that individuals continue to claim affiliation but membership is still less than_ten. SF Twa advised that there is nothing to indicate that there are financial ties between mainland China and the Red Guard. This is evident because of the disorganization of the Red Guard.

The source advised that this loca-??_ tion was available to the Red Guard after Asian?American ?q student activists gained control of the old International? Hotel.

On March 4, 1971, SF advised that RODNEY who holds ministerial rank in the_Red Guard and is iimem?er of the staff of Asian Studies Program at the i?U?iEE%sity of_@alifornia at Berkeley, had indicated that membership inwf?e Red Guard is increasing and that this crowd is composed mainly of street people from San Francisco Chinatown.

On January 22, 1971, SF advised that HING continues to be the number one functionary in the Red Guard and also holds the position as Minister of Information. The Minister of Defense post is vacant. AokaQ? cnurfps?lInL 'to Berkeley, California, in January, 1970. SF 105~23956 JL:sfc I The current membership of the Red Guard was estimated to be approximately thirty people. Red Guard members from Berkeley included RODNEY FANG and an individual named BEN of Chinese ancestry who was on the Venceremos Brigade number three. The balance of the Red Guard membership is from San Francisco and consists principally of native born U.3. citizens of Chinese ancestry. a minority of the members are of Japanese ancestry. 3F T?b advised that I NOR KUEN is a Chinese" ?merican organization centered in the New York area and has had discussions with representatives of the Red Guard with the idea of considering a merger of the two organiza~ tions. The proposition was rejected by both sides due to a diSpute of who would be number one in the surviving organization. a national front organization will be tormed, however, no name has been chosen for a front organ? ization. The I NOR KUEN is the equivalent of the Red Guard in the New York City area and consists of left wing sur- vivors of the Asian-emerican Political Aliance. Member- ship is estimated to be approximately twelve to fifteen individuals who are principally U.S. citizens of Chinese ancestry. On march 11, 1971, SF T-S advised that as a 'result of the HUEY NEWTON - ELDRIDGE CLEAVER split, the Red Guard leans toward support of ELDRIDGE CLEAVER. -T-5 advised that the Leway organization is not taking any 'position. On March 23, l9?l, SF T-8 advised that HOWARD CHAN, one of the founders of the NOR KUEN, had traveled Source advised while at Berkeley, CHAN met with ALEX HING of the Red Guard and that MING had shown CHAN around San Francisco. CHAN got the impression that MING was very close to the Black Panthers although his own group, the Red Guard, seemed quite ineffectual. CHAN had indicated that the Red Guard did not have a store front and was comprised of only a handfull of members. 105-23956 JL:sfc On June is, 19?1, SF T-S advised that internal strife .within the Red Guard organization has caused the group to divide into two new groups, one consisting of the street people who appear to favor a militant activist policy, the other group includes HING and consists of students and more educated members of the Red Guard who seek to adopt a more legitimate position relative to the establish- ment. SF advised that the old Red Guard organization is defunct and that the two new groups have chosen no names as of yet. On July 1, 19?l, Inspectorl Ilntelligence Unit, San Francisco Police Department, advised that his Office has no additional information regarding the Red Guard. He advised that the Red Guard appears to be dying, in that there has been no activities in Chinatown recently to associate with that organization. that he would continue to be alert for any new in ormation concerning the Red Guard or any similar type organisation which may evolve as a result of the dissolution of the Red Guard. On July 2, lQTl, SF T?a advised that it appears that the operationsof the Red Guard organization have ceased. He stated that individuals normally seen congregate ing in the vicinity of the premises of 842 Kearny Street, San Francisco, the meeting place of the Red Guard, continue to frequent the area, however, these individuals do not' appear to be aligned with any particular group or organiza- tion in that area. SF T-e advised that the downfall of the Red Guard is attributed mainly to the lack of membership, finances, and strong leadership. He added that although ALEX HING continues to claim leadership of the Red Guard, MING has few followers and there are indications that HING aligns himself more with the Chicano activist groups than the Asians. Source stated that MING apparently fell into disfavor with many of the Asians. On July 2, 19?1, SF THE advised that the bank account for the Red Guard was officially closed on June 28, 1971, due to lack of finances. a :?th a i I 10w? b6 - .

With respect to the report that the vehicle was driven over 1,000 miles in a three day period _While signed out to the Subject, it is noted that he claimed to SF 2496-R that he made no such use of the vehicle, and also that the charge-out practice ot the University garage was such that it is quite possible someone else could have used the car and charged it to the Subject, if he had knowledge of the charge?out number assigned to the Asian Studies group. With respect to the handguns reported to have been purchased by the Subject, SF advised the Subject states he still has these guns at home and that he obtained them forcself protection. Both SF and* the UCPD noted it was not unusual for students at Berkeley to own weapons. In view of the above considerations and since SF 2496-R states that Subject is opposed to the use of violence and is considered conservative by mere militant members of the Asian?American community at the University of California, it is believed he should not be placed on the Security Index at this time, but should again be considered for interview.

SF T?l remarked that FLOYD HUEN has somewhat isolated himself from other Asian activists because of his moderate attitude, SF T?l said HUEN is considered a moderate because he seems to feel that student activism should be confined to argument and non?violent protest and that violence should be avoided, The San Francisco ?Examiner?, in its issue dated September 17, l970, carried an article stating that the UCB campus police were seeking to establish ownership of a flight bag containing ammunition and Maoist literature found in the trunk of a State owned car.

The charge was dismissed ?in the interest of justice?, and according to father and brother, this dismissal took place because the change resulted from a mistaken identity.

JESisad On October 7.. 1970, SF T?l advised he had immediately recognized that the above mentioned San Francisco "Examiner" article referred to FLOYD HUSH. He said that out of concern for the reputation of HUSH and the Asian Studies group on the campus he had discussed the article at length with.HUEN and is convinced that HUEN knows.nothing of the ammunition clips which were left in the vehicle. SF T?l added that HUEN claims he has not used any University vehicle for long trips during 1970 and has no .idea who may'have used his name and that of the Asian Studies Division to charge out the State owned vehicle, which was driven more than 1,000 miles in three days while charged to?him? SF T?l remarked that it has been very easy in the_past to charge out a car at the University Garage, since all that one needed to do was to give a name and to know the number assigned to any group or division authorised to sign out a caro SF Tel said that any person who knew the number assigned to the Asian Division of the Ethnic Studies Department could have gone to the garage and used name to sign out a vehiclea SF T?l said that he questioned FLOYD regarding the two'hand guns he was alleged to have purchased in December, 1969, and.that RUFF readily admitted these purchases, saying he had obtained the guns for "self?protection?r and still has them at home, but does not carry them. SF Tel remarked that to the best of his knowledge, it is common practice for students at the OCR to own weapons and added that there is no offense against the law if such weapons are not carried concealed. SF T?i commented that FLOYD HUEN is presently employed as a Research Assistant in the Asian Studies Division of the Ethnic Studies Department at the'UCB on a university salary. SF T?l added that the AAPA which was formerly headed by HUEN is now a dead issue and not even mentioned by HUEN. On October 13, 1970, Lieutenantl I UCPD, advised that the UCPD was unable to determine who was reaponsible for leaving the empty ammunition clips and/or the three posters praising Communist thinaAr which were found in the trunk of a State owned vehicle when it was EEC serviced on August 26, 1970. He indicated that there was no evidence to connect HUEN with these items other than.the fact that he was one of the persons to whom the vehicle was si ned out during the first part of the montha Lieutenant further indicatedihat the UCPD was making no investigation concerning the two hand guns allegedly pure chased by HUEN, since no crime was involved. He added 9 A0k?738 - aria 0 a SF 105?23592 that measures had been taken at the UCB garage to tighten procedures for charging out vehicles so that in the future responsibility can be more accurately assessed when there is possible misuse of a State?OWned vehicle. On October 13, 1970, Officerl I of the UC Police Department, advised that he had investigated the matter, when a mechanic at the UCB garage reported on August 26, 1970, that he had found seven empty ammunition clips and three paper posters of a Chinese communist nature in the tr a State~OWned vehicle which he was servicing. Officer I displayed the seven empty ammunition clips, b6 but added that the three posters have evidently been destroyed. He said there were no identifiable fingerprints on the ammunition clips and that he had been unable to ascertain who was responsible for placing them in the trunk of the car. He added that no crime had been committed and his inves? tigation was simply for informational Purposes. that during the course of his investigation he discovered that according to the mileage charts some l,176 miles were placed on the Statewowned vehicle in question, while it was charged to the Asian Ethnic Study Group under the name of FLOYD HUEN during a period of three days, starting August 1, 1970, and ending August 4, 1970. he added that he had also ascertained that FLOYD driver's license, which had to be renewed before his birthday, 1970, was apparently not renewed, so that if he was driving a tate?owned vehicle as the garage files show, he was doing so without a valid license. said the garage attendants are supposed to check driver's licenses to make sure they are valid and to b6 establish the identity of the person taking the vehicles. h7C He said he discovered that this has not been done in all cases in the past and noted that it was certainly not done when the car was charged 0 FLOYD HUEH, whose license expired iast hay. Officeri lexpressed the opinion that FLOYD HUEN or some of his associates in the Asian Studies Division were probably responsible for leaving the empty 10 Aokt739 o7C 105m23692 JES/pae EIWEE. ammunition clips and the communist posters in the State? owned vehicle, but he added that there is no way of fixing responsibility and no further investigation of the matter is contemplated by the UC Police Department. On September 30, SF advised that he has no knowledge of the two handguns which FLOYD HUEN purchased in December, 1969. He said that FLOYD has always claimed to be non?violent in his philosophy and actions, so he is at a loss to explain these purchases. SF T-S expressed the opinion that FLOYD EDEN may have purchased them for selfe protection in View of the fact that robberies and burglaries in the Berkeley area seem to be on the increase.

I I PARTY also known as Black Panther Party for Self Defense 1 According to the official newspaper.of the the ?f?1331W- 9 BPP was started during December 1966, in Oakland, California, to organize black people so they can take control of the life, politics, and the destiny of the black community. It was organized by BOBBY G. SEALE, BPP Chairman, and HUEY P. NEWTON, Minister of Defense, BPP. I -The official newspaper, called "The Black Panther," regularly states that the BPP advocates the use of guns and guerrilla tactics in its revolutionary program to end oppression of the black people. Residents of the black community are urged to arm themselves against the police who are consistently referred to as "pigs" who should be killed. The newspaper, in its issue of September 7, 1968, had an article by the then Minister of Education, GEORGE MURRAY. This article ended with the following: . . I "Black men. Black people, colored persons of America, revolt everywhere: Arm yourselves. The only culture worth keeping is revolutionary culture. Change. Freedom everywhere. Dynamite! Black power. Use the gun. Kill the pigs everywhere." The BPP newspaper, issue of October 5, 1968, had an article introduced _with the following statement: ?We will not dissent from American govern? ment. We will overthrow it.? DAVID HILLIARD, Chief of Staff, BPP, in a speech at the San Francisco Polo Field on November 15, 1969, said "We will kill Richard Nixon." DAVID HILLIARD, in the "New York Times,? issue of December l3, 1969, was quoted as follows: "We advocate the very direct overthrow of the government by way of force and violence." In the issue of April 25, the newspaper had an article by Minister of Culture EMORY DOUGLAS as follows: "The only way to make this racist US government administer justice to the people it is oppressing, taking up arms against this government, killing the officials, until the reactionary dead, and those that are left turn their weapons on their superiors, thereby passing revolutionary judgement against the number one enemy of all mankind, the racist U.S. government." The Headquarters is located at 1046 Peralta Street, Oakland, California. Branches of the.BPP, and Committees to Combat Fascism, under control of the EFF, have been established in various locations in the USA. 12 Ann-7:41 T. ?r I - .scanners FOR a nssocnarlc scorers J5 Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) as commonly known, came into existence at-a founding'convention held during June 1962, at Port Huron, Michigan. From an initial posture of ?participatory democracy,? Marxist?Leninist ideology of various shadings became predominant during 1968?1969 with debate centering on how best.to create a revolutionary youth movement. SDS moved from involvement in the civil rights struggle to an anti?Vietnam var position to advocacy of a militant antimimperialist line linking up the oppressed peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America with the black liberation movement in the United States, All major factions within SDS embrace MarxismmLeninism and identify internationally with China, Cuba and North Vietnam as countries leading the world-wide struggles against the United States. However, the Soviet Union was regarded as imperialist and with the Communist Party, USA, ?revisionist? in nature, - SDS operated under a national constitution which called for an annual National Convention {NC1and quarterly National 'Council meetings wherein programs were initiated and debated. Three national officers were elected annually with.a?hational Interim Committee to run the organisation, Regional offices and college chapters elected delegates to the national meetings but each functioned independently on local matters. Its official publication "Fire"(formerly "New Left Notes?) last appeared in December 1969, Internal factionaiism of serious proportions developed during 1968-1969 and the tollowing three factions evolved as a result of a split at the June 1969 NC: Weatherman, Worker Student Alliance, and Revolutionary Youth Movement, The effect of the split on SDS chapters throughout the country was divisive. Some aligned with one or the other of the three major factions. Others, unable to identify with any faction, disassociatod with SDS completely and changed names, - The SDS national office in recent years was located at 1608 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois, It was closed in February 1970, The weatherman and Revolutionary Youth Movement groups no longer consider themselves associated with SDS and the Worker Student Alliance group refers to itself as the true SDS, Aokt742 13* FIB-323 (Rev. il~29~5 i} UBQED STATE-S QEPARTMENT In Repg, Phase Refer 50 San Francisco, California File No. October 14, 19?0 Title FLOYD HUEN Character SM AAPA Raference Report of SA JAMES E.
