avant-garde underground newspaper published weekly in LosAngeles, California, with Arthur Glick Kunkin as its editor
publisher!, issue of August l6 to 22, 1968, on page seven,
and which was written by Leurgngziéipton. The article

between Lawrence Lipton and Abbie Hoffman prior to the
Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August 1968.

The Winter 1957-1958 issue of the literary periodical"Coastlines," contained a poem contributed by Lipton entitled,"I Was a Poet for the FBI, on pages six and seven, Following
the publication of this poem, Lipton was interviewed bySpecial Agents of the Los Angeles Division of the FBI, in
connection with his unauthorized use of the initials 'FBI."
He said he understood that any further instances of that
nature would not be tolerated. Nevertheless he had the poem
reprinted in the September 1958 issue of "Frontier" magazine,
published in Ios Angeles, a Xerox copy of which is attached.
The Eighth Report of the Senate Fact- '
Finding Committee on Un-American Activities
in California, published by the California
State Senate in 1955, characterized "Frontier"
magazine in part on page 383 as follows:
"This publication, well financed and issued
in slick format, modestly refers to itself as
the State's only liberal publication. Members
of its staff are seen at communist front
meetings from time to time. . .and its repre-
sentatives frequently appear as Speakers before ;
organizations, ranging through the political
spectrum from deep red to pale pink."

"b'Ei'r.d':y night Sept, 15! Mayor
Daley oi Chicago aired his side
oi the story on television, One
thousand radio an-J 400ieievision
stations carried the documentary

you should excuse the expression.
it that was the best they could do
with the old I-litior technique-of
the Big i.ie, the Big Boss is in
Big Trouble.
I will not dwell on the fact that
so many radio and TV stations
saw tit to air the one-hour sho-.".'.
Anyone who finds this fact as-
tonisliing must still be rnc-nially
mired in the naive liberalism oi
the New Deal days, Like the
'Iriend1y" TY reporter at the
Jerry Rubin press coni'erence I
reported in the Freep who, when
Jerry called attention to the fact
that a police phoiog with a sound
camera was photographing every-
thing being said and everybody
present, spoke up ever so sweetly
innocently tolerantly: "its a tree
country. would he have been so
tolerant of a police spy at any
QTHER kind oi a press con-
ference?
Police state methods have
crept up on the press so stealth-
ily that they do not yet realize
what surveillance or invasion oi
privacy looks and sounds like.
Even the open and special atten-
tion bein: given the press with
their billy clubs was not plain
enough for this TV newsman to
rid himself of the notion that ' it's
ii free country incitiie poiicespy
had as much right to be present
as working press!
So why should anyone be as-
tonished that Daley had only to
open his yap and cry press cov-
erage discrimination by the
media and -100 TV an-*1 athousand
radio stations _wci-e i.r.:ne=.li:tt'-ly
at his disposal. The n-u.-or}-.s
would have been at his disposalF7 tau _H&U "
Deaulle acl and insisted on do-
ing a prima donna soio'on"pF1"nfe
time without any questions from
the newsmen. Maybe, too, they
figured that he had ai-reedyh~r.d-
HOURS of prime time on their
networks with the show he and his
cops put on in the convention hell
and on the streets oiChicago.
So he gets his prime time
coverage anyway, on a bigger
scale than any of the candidates
for President, and what do his
bright boys do with it? They start
right in with a title; "92Vhat'lrees
Do They Plant?" irn waiting now
to see which of the Great i-its on
the network newscasts is the first
in nnini mi! Hun nhuinite h'lnrgnn|----. |-..,.... V... ...92.. -.....-t... -.-H ...
that the first thing the title otthe
documentary calls to mind is

TED TREES OX THE STREETS
LEADING T0 CONVENTION
HALL, which national television
and radio described and pictured
so prominently and which, at the
start-before the not-so-lunny
mayhem began made Daley the
laughing stock of the world. What
Trees Do They Piarit? Hanging
trees, lynch trees--that was the
kind oi trees Pigtace Daley and
his killer-cops planted in Chica-
I0.
And what are the tirst words

Freep will remember as the spy
who played ylppie and tried to
embroll JerryRubin e.s his body-

into a police trap if they hadn't
spotted him as a police agent.

much of the planning for the
march on the Pent:-.gcniast0cto-

And this barely literate rum-
dum is going to be the chief, it
not the only, v.-itness against Jerry
Rubin when his trial for inciting
to mob violence or something to
that effect! comes up in Chicago
-incitement: oi which I-iE,Roti-

been committed, which it wasn't,
HE 9292'O.!id h:1'.'e to be indicted and
sentenced to jail for. Such is the
insanity, the blaci: humor, cl the
Chicago police: rote in what Jer-
ry Rubin called street theater.
Just to be air and make this
Big Lie believable, the yipples
and Mobilization were allowed to
speak their piece from time to
time, all carefully edited, of
course, to make a case, not for
themselves, but for the theme oi
the documentary: that there was

the area around the lntorteational
Amphitheater, which the cop, who
displayed this evidence oi an un-
derground plot, unrolded with a
voice or conspiratorial cloak and
dagger revelation.
when I arrived in Chicago on
the Saturday before the conven-
tion I found identical maps in the
Chicago newspapers rnd in even
greater detail, showing thehotels
where the various delegations
were s_taying- and _the police
ehecirpoints around the conven-
tion hall! Were these smuggled
into the Establishment newspa-
pers by a yipple guerrilla band
bent on sabotage?
One more point to nail this TV

a not too intelligent one, at that

this occasion, including myseli

with police treatment oi news-
rnen! but nothing was heard or
seen by the viewer except what
the mnizers of the film hoped
would sound sell-incrtminatory
and evidence of a plot to attack
the police and take over the city,
As this interview was taking
place, a police spy with a sound
camera was getting it aiion iiim.
Was the inter-.'ie92".-er a police spy
or was he a Tl-' reporter, as he
had represented himself? And
how did it happen that this inter-

In the issue of The Village Voice, a New Iork City
weekly newspaper, dated September 19, 1968, in ;rt1¢1q b
NAT HENTOFF stated in
New York at any rate,
preeent in deeeent inpart as follows: "Actually, the FBT. in
has been interviewing Yippies and others
Cnieego ee wellres neartny norkers.
And from the reports I have, the FBI's interest in police
violence is less than minuscule. They have been asking people
concerning their intent on going to Chicago. One Iippie being
interviewed finally said to the agents, "Don't you want to
hear about what the cops did to me and to other people?"
Although not encouraged to proceed, he did anyway, and the
agents did not take notes. He gave them a badge number of a
cop whose rioting, he said, there were witnesses to. The
nunber was net written down. whet we went to know, an agent
returned to the focus of his investigation, "is whether any
of the Iippie leaders went to Chicago to promote violence."
"Only our top leader," the interviewee said. FBI pencils were
now at the ready. "And his name?" "Mayor Daley.
Interview of NAT HENTOFF disclosed that the person
referred to in the above article was ABBOTT H. HOFFMAN.

speech was more of an organizational speech with an
appeal to get a gathering to march to the downtown
area. He did not attempt to incite the crowd to

TO: Mr. Dave Stahl
FROM: Mr: Albert H. Baugher, Assistant Pirector
Community Organization'
RE: eeting with Rennie bavis, National Mobilization
- As Per Your Request!
_1gg_aRRAT IVE =
I met with Mr. Davis at 10 p.m. at his office at 407 S. Dearborn,
June 16, 1968. Mr. Davis is the local coordinator for the
National Mobilization Committee to End the war. He was, as I
understand, responsible for helping organize the demonstrations
April 15, 1967 in New York City, where approximately 250,000
people were present, and the demonstrations at the Pentagon,
Washington D.C., October 21, 1967. His offices in Chicago are
responsible for organizing any activity that will-occur in the
City of Chicago sponsored by the National Mobilization Committee.
SUDIBIARY : -
-Mr. Davis seemed a rather reasonable person who has evidently had
some experience in organizing large mass demonstrations but has
had no experience in organizing sustained demonstrations such as
the five day meeting he is now proposing. The things which he-
specifically requests are:
1. An opportunity to co-ordinate activities with the central city
adminstration which is responsible for Police activities around
the convention and throughout the city.
2. Permits to use local parks throughout the city to hold public
rallies on August 26th.
3. A parade permit for August 28th.
4. A permit to use Soldier Field on the 29th of August, to provide
an alternative setting to the oonvention. _ _

'5. Possible offik' pernission, or unoffici sanction to allow-
thc many college x .rents and young people wL_; -e arriving in the
city_to participate in the NHC program, to sleep on beaches or in
parks throughout the city; the sanitation facilities necessary to
provide for fifty 0! to one~thousand ,000! people. .
Mr. Rennie Davis wouldlike to havp subsequent meetings between thecity and the NMC.' ' l
Mr. Davis expressed an interest in the national officers of the
National Mobilization Committee having an opportunity to meet with
the Mayor during the first week of August, if possible. He felt
that an exchange of views with the Mayor concerning the National
Mobilization Committee'be significantly helpful in alleviating
problems that may arise in the city. He did, however, agree that
the working plans and co~ordination of his activities, could be
handled through my office if that was agreeable to the Mayor.
Mr. Davis outlined the following calendar for the National Nobili-
zation Committee.- On August 23 and 24 they expect between 5,000
and 10,000 people to arrive in the city on behalf of the National
Mobilization Committee, with-the purpose of addressing themselves
to the platform committee of the Democratic Party. During these
days, the National Mobilization Committee will attempt to train
approximately 2,000 marshalls who will assist in the parades and
demonstrations that will occur later. On the 26th of August,
Mr. Davis indicated that he believes that there will be challenges
on the part of the Freedom Democratic Party of Mississippi, and
perhaps other delegations from Texas and Haryland'for seats as
delegates to the National Democratic Convention.
Mr. Davis suggested that the NHC will conduct seminar meetings at
various halls throughout the city on the 26th and the 27th. These
halls are being solicited now by the ENC. Interest groups will
range from SDS to Black militant groups; topics will include a
variety of problems, from ending the war in Viet Nam to current
conditions in the ghetto. He requested also, that park permits
be issued to allow for public rallies to be held to discuss these
issues. -
On the 28th, the NMC will have a coalition march of all groups
to the Amphitheater where they propose to present a petition and/or
address to the Press. For this effort, their marshalls will be
trained and specific co-operation with local law enforcement
authorities will be solicited. To date no routes have been
determined. Mr. Davis indicated their willingness to work out
routes which will not end in any disturbances, and will allow for
the orderly dispersal of participants.

new approaches and new directions through 1969 and 1970. These
meetings will take place in 30 to S0 meeting halls which are being
solicited throughout the city in church basements, union halls, etc.
The meetings will be conducted by various organizations, such as SDE
etc., who will hold their own meetings with separate agendas.
Finally, in order to assist the organization of this effort, the
NC will publish a daily newspaper pointing but new activities and
other news pertinent to their program.

D Re Bureau airtel, 10/22/68, captioned, "Demonstratio
in Connection with the Democratic National Convention; ARL."
Review of all cases in the Milwaukee Division £,<»
growing out of the Democratic National Convention has been
made without reflecting any evidence implicating captioned
Sections 245, 2101, 2102, or 251. Consequently, no additional
report is being submitted.
Milwaukee, however, is reopening ten of these cases
for the purpose of reinterviewing these ten persons, who were
D involved in varying degrees in demonstrations at the Democratic
National Gonvention for the purpose of eliciting any positive
p statements made by subjects in this matter and to exhibit
i photographs of them for identification purposes.
