HOWARD SMITH under the heading "Scenes" which
stated in part as follows:
"Occasionally I hear about an idea that
sounds great, but just too complicated
ever to come off. That was my attitude
when I first heard about the formation
of WPAX Radio as a way to provide GIs
in Vietnam with news, music, and features
totally free from Army censorship, thanks
to Radio Hanoi's transmitters;+
".?he st Village Other," in ii-siuly 21-28, 1971
issue on page 18 contained an article by REX WEINER entitl
"Pirate Editions Report" which states in part as follows:
"Yet I keep hearing things like, Abbie Hoffman,
he's making money off the revolution. Well, that's pure
obscene!. It's an attitude that fosters such putrid
actions as the recent rip - off of WPAX equipment by tow
movement sharpies from Ithaca, Paul Sandburg and Dav£EI'
Boyd. The radical radie_venture having been sabotaged by
the government, Hoffman decided to recoup some of the
bread he and others put into WPAX by selling the equipment
These two pigs - i - freak clothing apparently felt WPAX
and Hoffman were fair game and hoisted a thousand dollars
worth of turntables and recording stuff. Why didn't they
rip off WPLJ? They will be dealt with by the Yippie
Enforcement Team!."

Abbie and asked him to help raise funds for the defense of

Abbie recently underwent an operation on his nose, has

prison and not one obscene!, five years. There=s an inter-
esting law, Section 2101, Volume 18, U. S. Penal Code; it's
ah part of a civil rights law passed in April of 1968 by one
of the all-time great civil rights champions, Senator STROM
THURMOND. I had another experience, because being in a group
of people up in Chicago in a trial a couple of years ago,
did you hear about it here? You did. We got five years for
violating that law. It's a very metaphysical law. It says
that it's illegal to cross a state line to organize, promote,
participate or incite, not with the intention mind you, with
the intentions, to organize, incite, participate, or promote
a riot and a riot is defined under THURMOND's civil rights
lam as an act or threat of violence by one or more people in
a crowd of three or more. It's a very metaphysical law and
that is why up there in Chicago we were quite dazzled because
not even the defendants knew whether we were innocent or
guilty or not. You can see why the Jury and the Judge had some
problems with it so it's an interesting law and no other
person in history has been tried under it twicea
"If the government doesn't end the war in Vietnam
we're going to end the government and there is 47 hours left.
There's about three lines in a 15-minute speech so I'm a '
bit nervous in schools like this because right after the speech
the recordings of the speech are handed over to the President
of the University and he says we got it, we got the tape...
"Well, there's a very important election as jfu
know. We did go to Washington. Did anybody go? It was a
very tactical achievement, We had about 75,000 people in
the park. By the way, I come up in a plane here and something
smelled very appealing. This whole state seems to smell like
marijuana. What's the state flower, a marigold or some wierd
little thing. It would be Just my luck if they arrested me
here. Well anyway, we were up in Washington, you know, we had
all those People like. President NIXON goes on the boob tube

and he says hey, there's going to be a lot of those runny-
nosed brats that are gonna be running around tying up traffic
here tomorrow. We know you're all committed, staunch federal
employees and we would like to ask you all to come in three
hours early for work tomorrow. So, all the organizers started
to believing and they were probably the only ones in the whole
city that believed him, so if you are a federal employee you
know, when you're going to meet traffic ties you ain't about
to head in three hours early for work. So come 5 AM in the
morning, everybody pops out from parks, and different universiti
you know, everybody tiptoeing down Madison Avenue, they lookaround and say where the obscenel are the cars. The entire
National Guard, the 7th Fleet is here and a bunch of freaks
with gas masks, you know. You know, the police picked everybody
up about 7 AM and that was it. We go sucked in, we were the
only ones that believed the federal employees would show up
that early in the morning. But we'll do better in San Diego.
"When I was there in Washington a couple of cops,
ah spotted me and ah decided to help me across the street,
and in the process ah took ho stitches and some kind of back
injury. The doctor prescribed cocaine for my nose when he
told me what the solution was, I told him I had a better
dealer. It cheers you up every once in a while when you go
get out of this country. I was, ah, before the Washington
bust, I was permitted to travel after I bribed the 7th District
Court of Appeals in Chicago with a great amount of money»
I was allowed to leave the country for a while and see other
countries suffer around the world. One place I ended up,
much to the government's regret, was Belfast in Northern
Ireland and ah its incredible the struggle going on in Ireland
is not very well understood in this country...
"I'd still be there but they got this thing called
Scotland Yard on the island and the U. S. Government was kinda
wondering why I was there when I'm not even allowed to travel
to New Jersey without permission. I had to come back and I'm
not allowed to travel anymore.

HOFFMAN's speech, for the most part, covered briefly
many topics, including the recent prison rebellion at Attica
Prison, New York, narcotics, and the racist imperialistic
establishment in control in the United States.
In speaking of the Attica Prison rebellion, he
described the prisoners as unfortunates Justified in their
acts; rebelling against the racist establishment which
allegedly caused their incarceration there in the first place.
He likened their revolt to the American Revolution. He further
described the police officials who took part in the retaking
of the prison as having committed wanton acts of murder against
the black convicts.
He described the FBI as a secret police organization
and questioned the American logic of revering an organization
such as the FBI when, in fact, it was "a secret police
organization."
HOFFMAN also stressed that the act of stealing goods
from a supermarket or any other large concern was not wrong.
He said that stealing from an individual would in some cases
be a wrong. He further gave examples of methods where persons
could easily steal from a supermarket.
He mentioned that young people had actually caused
very little change in U. S. society because they spent too
much time sitting and listening to rock music when they could
have been active in furthering the social revolution against
the establishment. -

"Youth movement superstar Abbie Hoffman visited
New Jersey yesterday to announce - for the second time in
the Garden State - that he is hanging up his headband,
cutting his hair and leaving the campus lecture circuit.

"He vowed that Drew would go down in history for
hosting his last appearance, but recalled a visit last spring
to Fairleigh Dickinson University where he also had announced
his retirement.
"'Did any of you see me at Fairleigh Dickinson?
he asked. That was my last ap earance tool P
"Hoffman resplendent in counterculture haute
couture - sweatshirt and bell-bottom Jeans - spiced his
1%-hour extemporaneous speech with the usual bathroom
variety of four-letter Anglo-Saxonisms and barnyard
epithets 0
"Hoffman's remarks, delivered as he bounced around
the podium, included the predictable stock, diatribes against
the enemies of the left: -the government, the military, the
Establishment.
"But he also had a few surprises, some of which
may have caused his largely-sympathetic listeners to squirm
a bit in their seats.
"Registering to vote he said, is a super idea.
He admitted, Perhaps it is possible to have a socialist
revolution that supports the needs and interests of the peopl
and do it peacefully through electoral change.

"He also gave the counterculture a kick in its
patched pants, saying, Revolution is more than listening
to rock music, getting stoned and putting posters on the
wall.
"'All of that is meaningless unless it's tied to
the struggle against U.S. imperialism around the world and
against the racism that is practiced every day in this
country.
"He said that after each successive encounter with
bits of counterculture music, literature, movies and luminaries
he had shorn some of his frizzy locks.
"To underscore the firmness of his resolve to cut
his hair in protest of the celebration of the counterculture
for its own sake, Hoffman pulled out a pair of scissors and
clipped a few curls.
"'All the money we get goes into paying for the
trials, Hoffman said, listing the expensive appeals involved
in his running legal battle with the government.

students at Madison, §eJt, en Sundays
"In that speech, he indicated that while he still
favors social and political revolution in the Uhited States,
he was finding soe hope in the ballot box.
"'Perhaps it is possible to have a Socialist
revolution that supports the needs and interests of the -
people and to do so peacefully, through electoral change,
he said in the speech; He cited as examples the radical
city council elected last spring in Berkeley, ce11r., and
the victory of Socialist Salvadore Allende who was elected
president in Ghile.

"But in college towns, with the recent changes in

- "Abbie Hoffman is one of the better know person-
alities in the so-called counter-culture movement of
American youth. His reflections in 'Woodstock Nation
have had a strong impact on the development of that movement.
In an article in the September WIN magazine, Hoffman explains
why he has at least temporarily 'retired' from the movement
he perhaps more than anyone else constructed-a movement he
now characterizes as 'a little group of vultures. Resisting
the temptation to elaborate upon chickens-or vultures-coming
home to roost, we here reprint excerpts from Hoffmans
'resignation.'" _
The article then set forth excerpts from the
subject's article which had appeared in the September 1, 1971
issue of "Win" Magazine.
The "Guardian" is self-described as an
"independent radical news weekly" which
takes a strong left position out is not
identified with any organized group.
It is considered to be the largest radical
weekly in America.

But Abbie wants to talk about his arrests and the FBI first.II
I've been arrested four or five times, and let
me tell you, the FBI used to be really nice to be arrested
by, they were gentle, they would give you your rights...
but here there has been a big change in the FBI recently,the last few months, they are obscenelggause they can't
get the Weather people, they are offer $100,000 reward
for information leading to the arrest of the Capitol bombers,
they are mad that nobody is snitching. On his 98th birthday
J. Ehgar finally flipped his lid. So of late the FBI has
been involved in illegal raids on communes, beatings, and
intimidations of people...do you know that a week before
Mayday, my phone, Dave Dellinger's phone and the phone of
the Mayday Collective in Washington were all cut off} These
FBI terror tactics are all part of the Justice Department's
vendetta. Why, the Attorney General now even suggests that
we got money from foriegn, ugh, Communist, ugh, ugh, countries.
Haif Abbie_was also Idicted for interfering with a police
officer, a felony in Washington.
"'The way I interfered with that police officer,
says Abbie, was by running away, getting tackled and getting
a broken nose, a slipped disk in my back and a lot of stitches.
I was caught in the Georgetown part of Washington and I was
beat up by this one really sadistic cop. Most cops in
Washington on Mayday were relatively restrained, I Just wound
up with this really sadistic one, he asks me, aren't these
your shades, then he stomped on them, he gave my gas mask
away to somebody, then he beat me up. So after I got patched
up by Dr. Spock at RFK stadium I got smuggled out in a
garbage can, Just like on Hogan's Heroes...I split since I
wasn't really arrested, right, so I figured what am I doing
here. I was arrested here in New York a few days ago.
First they charged me with assaulting a police officer but

to a clinic for a doctor to look at his noise. He can't
breathe through it, he is all taped up on Ebcount of his

he switches from serio-comic to groans like comedy asides,

The'Village Voice" in its June 17, 1971, issueon page 21, column 1, contained an article entitled, "Steal
This Story which stated in part as follows:
"A new street vendor was hawking his wares on the
sidewalks of New York last week. Abbie Hoffman was peddling
Steal This Book, his latest literary effort, in front of
Doubleday Books Fifth Avenue and 57th Street branch. The
site of the venture had significance in that Doubleday, along
with 29 other publishing houses and many maJor book stores,
refused to publish and will not sell the book. This counter
counter-culture effort has been compounded by the refusal of
13 newspapers, including the New York Times, and all radio
stations to accept advertisements for it. All the parties
note the book's advocacy of illegal acts in explaining their
desire to have nothing to do with it.
"'Stea.l This Book is billed as a handbook it-r

It tells how to eat for nothing at restaurants, shoplift
food and clothes, hitch, bum rides on trains and airplanes,
set up pirate radio and tv stations, get on unemployment,
and obtain thousands of free goods and services. In addition
there are chapters on how to act at demonstrations, trash,
make bombs, and shoot firearms, and what to do when busted
for demonstrating, trashing, bombing, and shooting.

"The Boston Globe" in its July 31, 1971 issue
contained an article entitled, "Sticky-fingered Abbie
Hoffman strikes back at booksellers" which stated in part
as follows: p
"Abbie Hoffman, the author of Steal This Book,
has Just stolen a book from Charles E. Lauriat Co. Inc.,
a bookstore at 50 Franklin st. in downtown Boston.
"The book is a handsome illustrated volume of
Currier & Ives prints. It is called The World of Currier
& Ives, and it retails for $15. Hoffman has picked it up
while discussing with a clerk why Lauriat's is not stocking
Steal This Book and then to the clerk's astonishment, has
walked out of the store with the book tucked under hn arm.
"Not quite sure he is seeing right the clerk has
followed Hoffman out of the store, staring as Hoffman
saunters down the street. Hoffman turns and favors the clerk
with what must be described as an obscene gesture.
"The encounter is one of several highlights of a
morning with Hoffman, a morning that began with an interview
on The Paul Benzaquin Show and closed with a frantic search
for Steal This Book in a back roo of the Harvard Coop
Society, 1h00 Massachusetts av., Cambridge.
"'Where the -- do you keep it. in the safe? said
Hoffman, rummaging through an assortment of cardboard cartons
while several Coop employees stood by with hands on hips,
laughing nervously.
"Hoffman's interest in Steal This Book, his fourth
book, transcends the average author's concern with the fate
of his work. It is, inmct, becoming an obsession. As the
How York Times Book Review stated several weeks ego, there is
what appears to be a conspiracy' among publishers, distributors
and retail outlets to keep Steal This Book off the shelves.

"The conspiracy appeared to be in full flower
yesterday, when Hoffman toured four bookstores in the area,
three of which Lauriat's, the Old Corner Book Store at
50 Bromfield st., and the Paperback Booksmith, 37a Brattle
st., Cambridge! had nary a copy on hand and the The Coop!
appeared to be giving it the kind of display Jack Benny
usually reserves for his money.
"After swiping the Currier & Ives book, it was off
to the Back Bay offices of The Phoenix, where Hoffman outlined
future plans. His next book will be on how to rob banks, and
he is trying to work out a scheme for a hustlers convention
at which Willie Sutton will be keynote speaker and theiaiibility will be explored of constructing a Rip-offs tute.
IINext on the agenda was the trip to Cambridge -
specifically to the Coop and a confrontation with a clerk
at the customers service desk. /
"Hoffman: Do you carry Steal This Book'?'
"Clerk: 'Yeah.'
"Hoffman : Where ? ' _
"Clerk: In the bosses office.
"'Hbw come there's a price on it if you can steal
it? challenged a girl with heavy eye-shadow.
"'Because some people are dumb enough to pay $2 for
it, answered the author.
"After some conversation, Hoffman managed to convince
the clerks that Steal This Book might do a little business
if The Coop's customer$ were made aware there was such a book.

"Hoffman, he says, first offered to give him 70
per cent of the royalties for doing most of the work,
trimed the percentages down to a 50-50 split when he
realized the book's selling potential, and eventually forced
him into contract negotiations that left Haber with 22% per
cent of the royalties directly from book sales.
"'When he began to see the same vision of the
book I saw and began talking that the book was worth a
quarter of a million dollars, our friendship flew out the
window, Haber said. .

Hoffman says Haber's suggestion in December 1969 of writing
a book on living free of charge by ripping off the system
derived from Hoffman's earlier pamphlet, ' -the System,
which he had planned to expand anyway.
"While he admits promising Haber first 70 and then
50 per cent of the profits, Hoffman says those percentages
were scuttled last summer when he realized Haber's manuscript
was essentially a collection.of clippings and articles from
the underground press.

best seller lists.

about $28,000 so far, of which he has only received $16,000

"The irony of two collaborators battling over credit

or Hoffman.

had submitted a manuscript largely copied word for word

owed Tom Forcade, a founder or the Underground Press
Syndicate, for Tom's work on Steal This Book.

- "when 30 publishers turned down Abbie's latest
book he decided to publish it himself and asked for help
from Tom, who had experience on the business side of
underground publishing. Tom was supposed to develop
alternative distribution channels so that no comercial
distributor would rake in the profits.
"But Abbie didn't like Tom's work and called off
the deal. Tom spent $300 on a lawyer and demanded $5000
for the work he'd already done on the book. Abbie says he
offered Tom $1500 without luck. _
- "Then someone suggested that a panel of Mbvement
people might provide truer Justice. Tom and Abbie agreed
and stated in writing that they would abide by the decision.
"They picked three people to arbitrate: Mayer
Visnner, a rock musicologist and war resister; Craig Karpel,
a free-lance writer who has outlined a system for informal
arbitration of consumer-shopkeeper disputes; and Dr. Hbward
Levy, the former Army doctor who served 26 months in Jailgar refusing to teach dermatology to Vietnam-bound Green
erets.
"At the two-day closed hearing in New York, Tom
and Abbie informal1y.introduced witnesses. They were allowed
to cross-examine and tell their own versions of the dispute.
"The straight press was soon scoffing at the whole
preceeding. The New York Times and its news service quoted
Tom as saying that if he wasn't happy with the decision of
the arbitrators he'd sue. Tom never said that, and the
reporter who quoted him later apologized for his error. In
fact, both Tom and Abbie had signed an agreement to go to
court only to enforce the mediators decision.

"Instead of handing down an arbitration award, the
mediators decided to give Tom and Abbie a Karma alignment.
"'Karma,' they explained, is a Sanskrit word
that refers to the moral and spiritual consequences of our
actions. There is a Karmic deficit here that Abbie should
compensate Tom for. It is clear that at the time in question
Abbie was trying to rush the book but even if this meant
asking Tom to work without a signed contract. Abbie has
made similar mistakes in the past and we want to encourage
him not to make them again.
"Abbie's debt to Tom: $1000.
"Tom's request for an additional $3500
his efforts at collecting the original $5000 wasto pay for
termed
completely unreasonable. But in the spirit of creating
counter-institutions, the panel decided that Tom could earn
the balance of the $5000 if he wanted to. The karma alignment
requires Abbie to sell him up to 10,000 copies of Steal This
Book at cost. Tom can then resell them through the underground
channels he originally agreed to develop.
"The mediators defined an alternative distribution
network as one which skirts the normal capitalistici hannels
and puts its distribution in the hands of collectives,
cooperatives, andznn-profit groups committed to radical social
change, and recommended that both Tom and Abbie set their
talents to the development of such a network."
The LBS is self-described as an under-
ground.news wire service, with head-
quarters in New York City, which publishes
news packets weekly that are sold to
radical New Left underground newspapers.
It was founded in 1967, an reportedly
