47, City Court, Chicago, Illinois, on Hoffman; bond forfeiture
charge, criminal disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest
charges, which were pending in the Chicago City Court. Judge
Giliberto vacated the bond forfeiture charge against Hoffman
and on motion of Hoffman's attorney, Gerald Lefcourte,
continued hearing on the disorderly conduct and resisting
arrest charges until October 17, 1968 in Chicago. Hoffman's
bond in the amount of $1,000, originally posted in his behalf
on the disorderly conduct and resisting arrest charges was
also continued by the court.
City Court hearing Judge
Giliberto remanded Hoffman to the custody of the Chicago
Police Department so that processing could be completed by the
police department concerning the arrest of Hoffman on
September 17, 1968, on the additional City of Chicago charge
against Hoffman for carrying a concealed weapon. The arrest
process of Hoffman was completed by the Chicago Police
Department and Hoffman was released on a $25.00 bond at

attorney, the hearing was continued until 11:30 AM, October l5,
1968, in Chicago. Hoffman was released from Federal custody
on $2,500 bond. USC Balog restricted Hoffman's travel to
his New York State residence when Hoffman requested permission
for travel to Prague, Czechoslovakia.
On September 18, 1968, from 10:51 AM to 11:14 AM
and $A of the FBI observed Hoffman conduct a press conference
with Chicago newspaper and television news media representatives
in the lobby of the United States Federal Buiding, Chicago,
Illinois. During this press conference, Hoffman announced he
planned to depart the United States on Sunday, September 22,
1968, with a group of United States Yippie fype people. He
refused to identify members of the group because he did not
want to have them delayed in their planned travel, rdr a
meeting with 5,000 Yippie type people in Elsen, Germany.
The assembly in Germany is to include many "rock type bands
and singers."
The purpose of the assembly is to march to the
Czech border to confront Russian authority. The group plans
to march to Prague, if they are permitted to cross the Czech
border. They will hold a music festival in Prague for the
expressed purpose of confronting the Russian "Pigs." Hoffman
explained that the Russian "Pigs" are regarded as Russian
Government and police authority. The group, including
Hoffman, that is to depart the United States allegedly
have United States passports, but do not have visas for
entry to Czechoslovakia.
He asserted he and YIP do not approve of Russian
"Pig" oppression in Prague any more than Chicago "Pig"
oppression which occurred during the DNC. The group does
not expect any different kind or type of physical oppressnan
from the Russian "Pigs", that that encountered by YIP from
Chicago "Pigs." He observed "Pigs are pigs everywhere and
beating is beating everywhere." If the group is not permitted
to cross the Czech border, members will attempt infiltration
of the border in smallunites for an ultimate gathering in
Prague for the Russian "Pig" confrontation music festival.
Hoffman stated his plans are now uncertain for the
Prague trip because of the pending Federal charge against him.
He will determine his legal status from his attorney If he
decides to proceed to Prague he will probably never return
to the United States.

He noted even though a lot of work needs to be done in
Europe, he did not like to go to Europe under circumstances
which would prevent his return to the United States. He
stated he wants to be permitted to return to the United
States because a lot of work remains to be finished in this
country. He asserted his series of recent arrests in
Chicago are harrassment and revenge tactics by "Government Pigs"
to prevent him from carrying on with his Work. He pointed
out he has been arrested 23 times and never convicted, and
the current arrests are a continuation of "Pig determination
to stop his work.
He advised he voluntarily returned to Chicago to
answer city criminalcharges against him, which grew out of
activity at the DNC. He observed the charges against him are
absurd and he could hot have been extradited for return to
Illinois to be tried for his alleged offenses. He reported
he voluntarily returned to Chicago to obtain court permission
to leave the United States for his planned trip to Prague.
He pointed out that the City of Chicago obscenity charge
against him is ridiculous in its being based on his arrest
for having an obscene word printed on his forehead. He
observed such action by him is not a violation of law. Hoff-
man reported that the nations outstlnding freelance photographer
is going to exhibit a large, face portrait of Hoffman with
the obscene word printed on his forehead, which was taken
during the demonstration activity at the DNC, in a photography
show. Hoffman surmised he will be considered, at the very
least, an art object.
He commented that the Federal charge regarding a
crime on an aircraft is ridiculous, He asserted he did not
commit a criminal act on the aircraft. The knife in his
possession when arrested was a $3 pen knife purchased in
New York City, which he voluntarily surrendered to Chicago
police "Pigs." The knife was not a switchblade and was not
a dangerous weapon. He asserted, "I'm living in a police
state, but that's the way it goes in this country from the
pigs." Hoffman-confirmed he is under contract with Dell
Publication Company of New York to write a book due for release
sometime in October, 1968, entitled "Revolution for the Hell
Of It." He stated he may make a million dollars from
publication of this book and from publication of a children's
book he is in the processof writing.

If he makes money from the book to be published in October,
he will offer $10,000 to each Chicago police officer who
Joins with YIP or possibly he will Just burn the money.
He stated he does not need money, does not work, and
does not ever plan to work because he is a passive revolution-
ary artist. Re observed everything is free, "who needs money?
He reported he is in the process of completely redeveloping
New York City and has things there well underway. From l4th
Avenue on, things are well organized, "free sex, free narcotics
the world is a ball." He invited everyone to join the free
activity in his section of New York City. Hoffman observed he
has done such a good job in New York City he does not know
why he wants to leave it. He asked, "Why I'm thinking of
going to Prague I don't know."
Hoffman also confirmed he has been approached by
unidentified motion picture concerns with propositions for
making movies of his life story. He stated he does not
plan to play the starring role in the movie because he is not
a movie star. He asserted, if James Dean were still alive
he would choose him for the role.
Hoffman stated that "he ioved"Chicago Mayor Richard
Da1ey'sfilm concerning demonstration activity in Chicago
that occurred during the DNC which was entitled "What Trees
Have They Planted?" "It was magnificent, excellent and
groovy." Hoffman observed the film is exactly what the
underground movement wants exhibited. He revealed that be
made a request of NBC and CBS, without a request for equal
time, for the TV networks to air the program nationally
without edit or further comment. Hoffman observed that there
were only two critical comments he would make concerning the
film. The first was that the Chicago professor who narrated
the film was boring, The second criticism was that the film
reported that no one was seriously hurt during the demonstra-
tion activity. Hoffman said the statement concerning serious
injury was not exactly correct because a 17 year old boy
from Sioux City, Iowa, Dean Johnson, was shot and killed by a
Chicago "cop" during the demonstration activity. Hoffman
stated he has heard from radio and television stations across
the nation that his life has been threatened on at least
25 separate occasions since the Chicago DNC demonstration
activity. He stated during the time he was in the custody of
the Chicago Police Department after being arrested dunng
DNC demonstration activity 3 Chicago police officer by
the name of Hendley phonetic spelling! showed Hoffman a

brass bullet and told him "this bullet has got your name
on it." Hoffman said "are you kidding?", when asked by
reporters at the press conference if he was going to make
a complaint to either local or Federal officials concerning
the alleged threats on his life. Hoffman stated FBI agents
visited him every third day in New York City to obtain
background information concerning people and asked where
finances come from for YIP activity and also ask for infor-
mation concerning his own activity. Hoffman stated he has asked
FBI Agents why they do not investigate police brutality in
Chicago, and in all cities across the nation. He asserted
all the FBI agents do is laugh at these suggestions.
Hoffman reported he was shot by the Ku Klux Klan,
when he was working in the civil rights movement in Miss-
issippi. He reported on that occasion he furnished FBI
agents complete information concerning the shooting. Hoffman
said all the FBI did on that occasion was to "just take
notes and nothing has been done about it to this day "
Hoffman predicted YIP would continue with
"theatre activity" in the United States and would appear
at polls on election day and vote for their selected candi-
date, the "pig." He stated "theatrical events" would replace
demonstration activity as such by YIP in the future and
would occur in opposition to every candidate for national
office.
v
Hoffman stated the American Civil Liberties Union
ACLU! is "hokey, a phony, publicity grabbing outfit that
let the movement down during the Chicago activity." He
noted that plans had been made prior to the Chicago demon-
stration activity for the ACLU to set up a procedure to handle
arrests, bail, and prosecution activity concerning demon-
strators who were arrested. The ACLU people did nothing,
but sit in their fancy offices in Chicago during Demonstra-
tion activity, while the people in the streets were being
beaten to death. ACLU did not have anyone at the demonstra-
tion scens and did not have any organization set up to handle
the arrest problems of the demonstrators.
Hoffmann reported the Chicago Legal Defense Committee

developed during DNC demonstration activity and these
matters will be pursued. Hoffman stated ACLU is through
as legal representative of the movement.
A man with Hoffman identified himself as Edward
Ted Stein, co-chairman of CLDC, and advised he had re-
presented Hoffman at the United States Commissioner's
hearing in Chicago. Stein said he is from New York City,
a licensed attorney of New York State and that he moved to
Chicago prior to the DNC to set up CLDC for the assistance of
arrested demonstrators. Stein advised he is not licensed to
practice law in Illinois, but can practice law in United
States courts sitting in Illinois. Stein stated CLDC is
in the process of securing atfidavits and statements from
witnesses for the purpose of preparing over $100,000,000
worth of civil law suits against the City of Chicago and
Mayor Richard Daley for injury and damage resulting from
activity that occurred during the DNC.

' The "Guide to Subversive Organizations and
Publications", revised and published as of December 1,
1961, prcpfréd and released by the Committee on Un-American
Activities, United States House of Representatives,
Washington, D. C., contains the following concerning the
Emergency Civil Liberties Committee:
"Emergency Civil Liberties Committee
"1. The Emergency Civil Liberties Committee is an
organization with headquarters in New York,
whose avowed purpose is to abolish the
House Committee on Un-American Activities
and discredit the FBI. * * *
The committee finds that the Emergency
Civil Liberties Committee, established
in 1951, although representing itself
as a non-Communist group, actually
operates as a front for the Communist Party.
It has repeatedly assisted, by means of
funds and legal aid, Communists involved
in Smith Act violations and similar legal
p;oc1edings. Cne of its chief activities
has been and still is the dissemination
oi voluminous Communist propaganda
material.
FRANK WILKINSON was called as a witness when
he appeared in Atlanta as a representative
of the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee
to propagandize against the Committee
on Un-American Activities and to protest
its hearings. In 1956 WILKINSON was
identified as a Communist Party member by
a former FBI undercover agent within the
Party. Summoned at that time to answer
the allegation, his reply to all questions was
"I am answering no questions of this ccmvittee
This also became his stock reply to questions

convicted of contempt of Congress and sentenced
to one year in jail.
Disputing the non-Communist claim of the
organization, the committee finds that a
number of other individuals connected
with the ECLC alsohave been identified under y
oath as Communists. * * *'

fronts have been devised making special appeals
in behalf of civil liberties and reaching but
far beyond the confines of the Communist

COMIICTEE, Formerly Knovn Au '
Enevgency Civil Liberties Cf ittee
The "Guide to Stbversive Organizations and
Publications , revised and published as of December l,
196i, prepared and releesed by the Caxzittee on Un-American?
Activities, United States House of Representatives,
Washington, D. C., contains the following concerning the
Emergency Civil Liberties Committee:
"Emergency Civil Liberties Committee
"1. The Eme.rg,enC}/ Civil Liberties Cc-mrnittee is an
organization with headquarters in ew York,
whose avomed purpose is to abolish the
House Committee on Un-American Activities
and discredit the FBI. * * *
The committee finds that the Emergency
Civil Liberties Committee, established
in 1951, although representing itself
as a non-Communist group, actually
operates as a front for the Communist Party.
It has repeatedly assisted, by means of
funds and legal aid, Communists involved
in Smith Act violations and sinilar legal
proceedings. One of its chief activities
has been and still is the dissemination
of voluninous Communist propaganda
materiel.
FRANK WILKINSON was called as e witness when
he appeared in Atlanta as a representative
of the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee
to propagandize against the Committee
on Un-American Activities and to protest
its hearings. In 1956 WILKINSON was
identified us n Communist Percy member by
a former FBI undercover agent w thin the
Party. Sunnoned at that time to answer -
the allegation, his reply to all questions was,
"I am answering no questions of this committee.
This also became his stock reply to questions

The "Guide to Subversive Organizations and
Publications", revised and published as of December 1,
1961, prepared and released by the Committee on Un-American
Activities, United States House of Representatives,
Washington, D. C., contains the following concerning the
Emergency Civil Liberties Committee:
"Emergency Civil Liberties Committee
"1. The Emergency Civil Liberties Committee is an
organization with headquarters in New York,
whose avowed purpose is to abolish the
House Committee on Un-American Activities
and discredit the FBI. * * *
The committee finds that the Emergency
Civil Liberties Committee, established
in 1951, although representing itself -
as a non-Communist group, actually
operates as a front for the Communist Party.
It has repeatedly assisted, by means of
funds and legal aid, Communists involved
in Smith Act violations and similar legal
proceedings; One of its chief activities
has been and still is the dissemination
of voluminous Communist propaganda
material.
FRANK WILKINSON was called as a witness when
he appeared in Atlanta as a representative
of the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee
to propagandize against the Committee
on Un-American Activities and to protest
its hearings. In 1956 WILKINSON was
identified as a Communist Party member by
h former FBI undercover agent within the
Party. Summoned at that time to answer
the allegation, his reply to all questions was,
"I am answering no questions of this committee.
This also became his stock reply to questions-

srubzyts _FOR A ngmocnartfgisocggsfry
y The Students for a Democratic Society SDS!, as it is
known today, came into being at a founding convention held
at Port Huron, Michigan, in June, 1962. The SDS is an,
association of young people on the left and has a current
program of protesting the draft, promoting a campaign_for
youth to develop a conscientious objector status, denouncing
United States intervention in the war in Vietnam and to
"radically transform" the university community, and provide
for its complete control by students. GUS HALL, General
Secretary, Communist Party, USA, when interviewed by a
representative of United Press International in San
Francisco, California, on May 1 , 196S, descrfbed'the'SDS
as a part of the "responsible left" which the Party has
"going for us." At the June, 1965, SDS National Convention,
an anti-Communist proviso was removed from the SDS Constitution.
In the October 7, 1966, issue of "New Left Notes, the
official publication of SDS, an SDS spokesman stated that-
there are some Communists in SDS and they are welcome. The
national headquarters of this organization as of April 18,
1967, was located in Room 205, 1608 west Madison Street,
Chicago, Illinois.
