HERE'S A MORE ACCURATE REPORT ON THE BRUTALITY TO POLICE IN CHICAGO Newspapers throughout the world have headlined the “brut ality” of Chicago police in breaking iip anti-war demonstra tions. Virtually unreported is the fact the anti-war protests were deliberately designed by hard core radicals who had as their goal’violence and disruption. Plans to “take over” Chicago were first mapped-last February in a secret Chicago meeting call ed by Ronnie Davis, a leader of the National Mobilization Com mittee (NMC), and Carlos Rus sell, fiery “Black Power” leader ffom New York. Among those present were Earl Durham and Donald Ham merquist, both of whom have been identified .by federal au thorities as members of the Com munist party. Hammerquist told the confab: “What ve must do is make concrete demands on the con vention which it cannot respond to. Olir confrontation must be political in the sense of winning people away from the Demo cratic party.” The prospects for bloodshed were candidly discussed by Jack, Spigel, executive officer of the Chicago Peace Council. “We can not call thousands of people to Chicago and then disassociate ourselves from violence. Dis ruption and violence will occur. It’s going to happen and well have to deal with that fact.” Over half of those hospitalized ■ were police and the only person still hospitalized is a policeman hit in the face with a brick. In the following months, anti convention plans were directed by Tom Hayden, a Hanoi visitor and self-proclaimed revolution-1 ary; Jerry Rubin, a graduate of the Berkley disorders who heads the radical Youth International party; and David Dellinger, a self-styled “non-Soviet Commu nist” who has made unauthoriz ed trips behind the Bamboo Cur tain. NMC leaders repeatedly en couraged their followers to “do your thing” — violent or non violent. Yippies, who engaged in tossing stink-bombs into ho tels, had classes on how to dis able police by kicking them in the groin. Some demonstrators triggered a riot by hauling down the American flag. (Marxist Prof. Staughton Lynd, incident Attitudes & Platitudes Jerry Marcus jot «»•** ftOrtAI 1 T »«« / PICO I IPCJJ J ally, was arrested in one of the melees.) Troops and police were also pelted with bricks, jagged bottles, even human excrement. According to police one NMC leader, Prof. Sidney Peck of Case Western Reserve Universi ty, approached Deputy Police Supt. James M. Rochford during one demonstration, screamed, “This is all your fault!” and slugged Rochford in the face. Rochford, who directed the police operations in Grant Park, said that no order was given of ficers to use their night sticks other than in a horizontal posi tion for pushing. But when riot ers sprayed his men with lye and water, bombarded them with bricks and taunted them as “Fascist pigs,” said Roch ford, “What could they do?” Rochford added, "My men took quite a beating from tins mad, wild crowd. We tried to handle them in a peaceful way Kinston Thruway NC 11-55 to be Let Sept. 24 by SHC _ The first of two major thru way improvements for the City of Kinston is to be let to bids on September 24th. This project calls for opening up the present dead-end portion of King Street, eastwardly to Tiffany Avenue, then swinging north on Tiffany over to Miner va Street where the present four laned portion of the NC 55-11 thruway ends. Parking will be eliminated for the full length of this .709 mile project which will be four laned with turning lanes at major in tersections. The second major thruway for Kinston will be put out for bids in March of 1969, and it calls for widening of Vernon Avenue throughout its length inside the city and out to the connection with the recently completed US 70 bypass west of Kinston. LT. TAYLOR IN VIETNAM Lieutenant Ronnie A. Taylor, son of Mrs. Rosalie Taylor, 1001 Candlewood Drive, Kinston, was assigned as a platoon leader in the 864th Engineer Battalion near Nha Trang, Vietnam, Aug. 7. but they would not let us.” Most observers agreed that in dividual policemen occasionaUy overreacted against the demon strators. But the provocatiohs and the super - charged atmos phere of violence created by the demonstrators triggered the ov erreaction. Moreover, the vola tile situation was fueled with the knowledge that a possible sniper had been caught in the Amphitheater and that a Grand Jury was investigating a plot to kill Democratic party leaders. - As Mayor Daley noted: “The intention of these ter rorists was openly displayed. They repeatedly stated that they came to Chicago to disrupt the national political convention and to paralyze our city. They came here equipped with caustics, with helments, and with their own brigade of medics. They had maps locating the hotels and the routes of buses for the guidance of terrorists from out of town.” Protest leaders were cheered by the violence. Crowed Tom Hayden: “What we have gained here is the bringing into fruition of a Vanguard of people who are experienced in fighting for their survival under military conditions. It’s an invaluable ex perience and it will have con sequences in this country far beyond this week.” Hayden said the Same strategy of “overheating this cduntry’s military machinery” will con tinue through the campaign. “Wherever Humphrey and Nix on go, the threat of protests will assure that troops will be guard ing them.AHjis isn’t a Chicago policy — but a national policy — and the Left, will be there to expose it.” Added Jerry Rubin: “What po lice here have\developed is a new force of whiV street revolu tionaries — kids' who are willing to die to change things. They are ready for anything. This fall the college campuses — even the high schools—will feel the impact of Chicago.” A Portion of the HYATT ESTATE to bo Auctioned Located: JONES AND CRAVEN COUNTIES, at Dover, N. C.
