civil rights during the latter part of June or early July, ll969!, it was ascertained from an individual who identified jwhimself as ZINN that he had no immediate plans to leave the aw
Boston area during June or July, 1969. ZINN indicated that 1he planned to spend this period of time in the preparation of
a new lecture plan for his government class at Boston
University BU!. .4,"
In view of the above, Boston will place this case &,,m92
in a closed status. However, sources at BU have been alert d;and in the event any information is developed regarding a {J
proposed trip to Japan by ZINN, the Bureau and Legat, Tokyo, _

Prefers Jail
Bostxf-F! University Prof._ Ho92i'ar Zinn _was seaeaw
% iI Friday after
he arrived i Suffolk Superior
Court two days late and>re-
fused to pay a $20 fine.
Judge Harold Canavan or-
dered Zinn arrested Wednes-
day when he failed to appear
in court for sentencing for an
anti-war demonstration at the
Boston Army Base last May:
Zinn, unusually reticent and
without at necktie, entered
the third-floor courtroom and
sat in the second row before
Judge Canavan until Clerk
Fred Bunai called his name
and announced, The court
removes the default.
Bunai then asked the edu-
cator. Are you ready to pay
the fine of S20 which was

N0. Zinn replied.
J3unai then queried, You
are finzmcially able to pay?"
_ Yes. the professor an-
swered.
The clerk" continued, But
you refuse to pay. Then the
court orders you committed -
to the common jail.
Zinn was taken into custodyby Court Officers Greg Kel-ley and Robert Ramsey. '
The jail term will be served
at the rate of $3 a day and
this means Zinn will be inJail 6'2 days unless he
changes his mind and de-
cides to pay the fine.
On Wednesday, Mrs, Vales-ka Ginouxes, a Wellesley
housewife. and Eugene K
OReilly of Cambridge, also
chose jail terms rather than
pay: the small fine for theArmy Base dcmonst.ration._

Dear
The enclosure almost explains itself, but not entirely. Four
of us -- Noam Chomsky, Stewart Meacham, Howard Zinn, and I -- are taking
it upon ourselves to circulate and seek signatures for this "statement
of collective responsibility." In nature, this is very much like_the
earlier "Call to Resist Illegitimate Authority," the basis for the
charges against Spock, gt gl. It is an attempt, essentially, to have
those who approve of certain acts of resistance -- whether of young.92
men to resist the draft, as in the earlier case, or of a few committed ' ,
people to destroy draft files and the like, as in this case -- to
accept the moral responsibility for such acts,
This is neither dishonest nor romantic. In signing the statement,
you will not be stating that you participated directly in the acts
mentioned, but that you join with those who did in believing that such
acts are appropriate in this society, at this time-
The signatures must be collected quickly, so they can be printed
up before August 7. That means I must have such signatures in hand
before August 1. Already, a hundred or so have signed, and we seek
as many as possible -- famous and not, whole families, young and old.
Implicit in your signature is your commitment, if at all _
possible, to attend the rally in Wilmington, Delaware at noon on
August 7. when all this will be announced. At the rally, none who
sign this will find themselves participating in any illegal act at
that time. This is an attempt to engage; and it comes at a time when.
many of us believe that we must find additional ways to register our
deep protest at what our society does and what it is becoming.
If you have any questions, please feel free to write or, pre- ;
ferably, phone me Office: 607/256-4392; home: 272-6584!, or Noam,
Stewart, or Howard. If you are going to sign, please do so Pr°mP¢1
and please send_to my home address: 1004 East Shore Drive, Ithaca,New York, l485D.* W ll " T -

' On Wednesday, June l7, 1970, Selective Service files were destroyed at local
Boards #1 and 2 in Dover and Georgetown, Delaware. Antiperaonnel weapons were dis-
rupted as well at the Georgetown National Guard Armory where Local Board #2 was .located. Simultaneously, the State Headquarters of the Selective Service System.at.Prices Corner in Delaware was "bleached awayY; Portable wading pools and wastebas~ _kets, placed on the floor of the Dupont Company Office, were filled with a bleachsolution, into which draft records were dumped. Located on the same floor as the
Selective Service Office, Dupont was specifically chosen as the site for the des-truction of the death papers because of that corporations active role in the destruc
tion of human life.
We, the undersigned SECOND CONSPIRACY T0 FIND AMERICA ~ accept responsibility for
these actions.
92We are people who seek s future of Peace and Brotherhood. This future will never
be realized if America continues in its present direction. We ask the people ofAmerica to listen to the cries of the People of the World - cries of hunger and thirstand death and despair - cries which echo not only in far-off lands, but also inwhat Mr. Nixon chooses to call the "richest most powerful nation of the world,"
We are people like you, people who want to live in Peace with all of our brothers and
sisters. But peace is not built with military might, the burden of which is borneby the poor of the world. This property was destroyed not out of hate, but with love;
not out of anger, but with hope. Our hope is to find America. Not the Amerika ofJohn Mitchell or Richard Nixon or even Spiro Agnew. No, we seek the America whichdeclared: "that all men are created equal;" that they have Godgiven rights to "lifeliberty, and the pursuit of happiness." .
We hope to find the America which proclaimed that'it is the duty of governments to
protect these rights, and that "whenever any form of government becomes destructiveof the Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it and to_institute
new government."
These are the words of revolutionaries; revolutionaries like ourselves; revolutiona~
ties who had a vision of a better world as we do. These are the words of the FIRSTCONSPIRACY F0 FIND AMERICA as they declared their independence.
And so we return to the First State of the Union and form the SECOND CONSPIRACY TOFIND AMERICA. We conspire to "form a more perfect Union and! establish justice."For justice is wanting in Amerika today. People are hungry and naked and honelesswhile a multi~billion dollar war continues. The cities get poorer and the weapons
get larger and more deadly and more_costly. People are intimidated and freedoms compromised or removed. "The rights of the people to peacably assemble and to petitionthe government for a redress of grievances is repressed. The right of the people tobe secure in their persons, homes, papers and effects against unreasonable searches -and seizures" is violated. In short, the Bill of Rights_exists no longer. Greedfor private power and profit stand in its place.
The greatest injustice of all, however, is that men without wealth or power are inden»tured in the armed forces to kill and be killed to preserve this "way of life."
The defiantly seditious utterances of Thomas Jefferson.are our inspiration.
we invite others to join us in Conspiracy. To this, "we mutually pledge to eachother our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor."
WE WILL FIND AMERICA.

STUDENTS FOR A DEMOQRATlC4SOGIEQX
A source has advised that the Students for a
Democratic Society SDS!, as presently regarded, came intobeing at a founding convention held June, 1962, at Fort Huron,Michigan. From an initial posture of "participatory democracy"the line of the national leadership has revealed a growingMarxist-Leninist adherence which currently calls for thebuilding of a revolutionary youth movement. Concurrently,the program of SDS has evolved from civil rights struggles toan antiVietnam stance to an advocacy of a militant anti-imperialist position. China, Vietnam and Cuba art regardedas the leaders of worldwide struggles against the United Statesimperialism whereas the Soviet Union is held to be revisionistand also imperialist.
At the June, 1969 SDS National Convention, Pro-gressive Labor Party PLP! forces in the organization wereexpelled. As a result, the National Office NO! group main-tained its National Headquarters at 1608 West Madison Street,Chicago, andthe PLP faction set up headquarters in Cambridge,Massachusetts. This headquarters subsequently moved to Boston.Each group elected its own national officers, which includedthree national secretaries and a National Interim Committeeof eight. Both the NO forces and the PLP forces claim to be thtrue SDS. Both groups also print their versions of "New LeftNotes", which sets forth the line and the program of the part-icular faction. The NO version of "New Left Notes" was re-
cently printed under the title "The Fire Next Time" to achievea broader mass appeal.
Two major factions have developed internally withinthe NO group, namely, the Weatherman or Revolutionary YouthMovement RYM! I faction, and the RYM II faction. Weathermanis action-oriented upholding Castro's position that the duty ofrevolutionaries is to make revolution. Weatherman is regardedby RYM II as an adventuristic, elitist faction which denies thehistorical role of the working class as the base of revolution.RYM II maintains that revolution, although desired, is not~possible under present conditions, hence, emphasizes organizingand raising the political consciousness of the working classupon whom they feel successful revolution depends. Althoughdisclaiming control and domination by the Communist Party, USA,leaders in these two factions have in the past proclaimedthemselves to be communists and to follow the precepts of a
Marxist-Leninist philosophy, along pro-Chinese communist lines.

is dominated and controlled by members of the PLP, who arerequired to identify themselves with the proChinese-Marxist-Leninist philosophy of the PLP. They advocate that an alliancebetween workers and students is vital to the bringing about of
a revolution in the United States.
SDS regions and university and college Qhabtersalthough operating under the outlines of the SDS National,
Constitution, are autonomous in nature and free to carry outindependent policy reflective of local conditions. Because
of this autonomy internal struggles reflecting the majorfactional interests of SDS have occurred at the chapter level
since the beginning of the l969~7O school year,92

PHQGRESSIVE LA§Q§_PABTX;]flE!
"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.
According to the article, "The Progressive Labor
Movement was founded in 1962, by Milton Rosen and Mortimer
Scheer after they were expelled from the Communist Partyof 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 Ygrk City,
March 31 to June 2, 1968, at which time the PLP reasserted
its objective of the establishment of a militant working
class movement based on MarxismLeninism. This is to be
accomplished through the Party's overa1l 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 reelected
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 bimonthly
magazine; "World Revolution," a quarterly periodical; and
"Challenge-Desafio," a monthly newspaper.
The April, 1969, issue of "ChallengeDesafio"
sets forth that "Challenge is dedicated to the peoples
fight for a new way of life--where 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, l Union
Square West, New York, New York.

end of all harrassment of the BPP and the release of all
<political prisoners.
The "Boston Herald Traveler? which is a daily
newspaper published in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 23,
1971, in an article by "Traveler" writer John Herbert entitled
"A Demonstration Against the Law?" advised as follows:
Boston University Professor Howard Zinn labored
mightily the other night and brought forth a few
warm bodies for a demonstration. His efforts to
rally citizens to protest serious indictments
against Father Berrigan and other-mmbers of the .
'East Coast Conspiracy drew about 70 people, and
that can be seen as testimony to the good sense
of most Americans. The indictments are for
conspiracy to kidnap a government official, blow
up government property and other things.
"What the professor was protesting was the application
of law in a society governed by law. He does not
like some of the laws so he has chosen to try to
overcome them. That is the reality of Professor
Zinn's effort to arrange a demonstration against
the indictments, no matter what explanations he
may give about obeying a higher law, marching to
a different drummer, or what.
a judicial system
of their rights
To demonstrate
and dangerous"Those indicted will be tried in
which provides more protection
than any other system anywhere.
against that is to make an idle
protest, something that all but about 70 people
within the reach of Professor Zinn showed they
understand very well."
The Daily Free Press," which is self-described as
an independent student newspaper published Monday through
Friday, distributed with no charge to members of the Boston
University community, advised on December 7, 1970, in an article by staff writer Christopher Buchanan entitled
"Zi Pays $20 Fine» Gets Gut," which reads in part as follows
- 2 -
HOWARD ZINN -
"Howard Zinn was released from the Charles St.
jail Saturday afternoon when he paid the remainder
of his $20 fine. He went to jail Friday morning.
Zinn, a political science professor at Boston
University, was convicted Nov. 17 along with seven
other defendgnts of obstructing traffic when they
sat in front of the South Boston Army Base last
May. The demonstration was to protest the system
of involuntary induction into the Army.
"At the time of his conviction Zinn refused to pay
the fine and forced Judge Harold Canavan to set
Dec. 2 as the final date for payment of the fine.
"Friday morning Zinn appeared at the Suffolk County
Court. The clerk asked him if he was ready to pay
his fine. He said he wasnt. .After the clerk
determined Zinn was financially able to pay, he
ordered that he be taken to jail to work off the
fine at the usual rate of S3 per day.
"Althgugh Zinn was"only in jail for a little over
a day, he was credited with two days and paid $14.
"Because of a scheduled trip to the west coast
Sunday§ Zinn decided that he would come out
Saturday since he would not have been able to
be released on Sunday. -
"Another reason Zinn went to jail was becuse
he'didnt want to just be processed through like
they wanted to do it. I didn't want to make
it so easy for them to get rid of us. I wanted
to put just a little crimp in the judicial _
machinery.
"'Everyone should spend a little time in jail,
Zinn said,'so they won't get so complacent about
it all. " -

Educational Conferencé'was scheduled for Boston Hniversity,
Boston, Massachusetts, Friday, November 12, through Sunday,
H November lb, 1971. 'The article reported that the conferenee
"was being coesponsored by the Young Socialist Alliance YSA!,
SW?, "international Socialist Review," and the Young
$ocialists for Jeness and Pulley.
SW? has been designated pursuant to
Executive Order 10450.,
9 As the youth organization of the
' ' recruitment{SA serves as the main source of
into that organization. The YQA is described
in the masthead of its official publication,
"The Young Socialist Organizer," as "A multi»

organization,"
"International sgcialisg Review is a

Linda Jenness and Andrew Pulley are

A third source, who has furnished reliable information

affair was Howard Zinn, Professor at Boston Universityq
According to the third soarce, workshops were held on
Saturday and Sunday but the response to the conference on
the whole had been very poor with the student body showing
very little interest. Source advised that no disturbances

in the past, on January 31, 1972, informed there was a
community meeting at the Little House, Dorchester, Hesse»

'and eaying how wonderful it was that all the people had come K
together to do something about the war. His initial point
qites that society had done too much already to emphasize
diferences among human beings and not enough to point out
similarities. He thought it was good that people from
different parts of Boston and different parts of the
Commonwealth were there at the meeting. His main idea was
that bad laws do not deserve to be obeyed. "Mass murders
occur, which isnhat war is," said Zinn, "Because people are _
'eplit ané donvt think. . .When the government does not serve
the people, then it doeent_deserwe to he obeyeo. . .To be '
patriotic, yon.may have to be against your government."
The next point was that the people have to think
positively and think that they can gain power. As an example,
he projected that if the people could get rid of a Judge Troy
in every American community then the country will see
tremendous change. - _
Judge Jerome P. Troy is a judge in the
Dorchester, Massachusetts, District Court.
The floor was then thrown open for questions.
Someone asked Zinn how the prisoner of war, POW! problem,
coule be solved. Zinn_began by describing how the administration
is solving the problem. He completed with the solution that
the only way to get the POW's beck is to end the war. He was
then asked what he thought would end should be done about
"draft dodgers," He did not claim to know what woald be done
nith them but sei he thought they should.be welcomed home.
On March 6, 1972, a fifth source, who has provided
reliable infotmation in the past, informed that the Eeoples
Coalition for.?eeee end Justice PCPJ! had a list of groups
"end individuals who have been asked to join the coalition
and send representatives to monthly Steering Committee
meetings. This list included the name Howard Zinn. c
*.The_PCPJ is selfedescribed as an organization
consisting of over one hundred organizations

Massachusetts and Southeast Asia from 1964-4/2/73. Zinn, publicly

Papers jury trial, Zinn stated that the war in Vietnam was a war whichinvolved special interests, and not the defense of the United States." Q28
