We the inmates at North C¿rolina's Central Prison, wish to ask your assistance in
contacting groups who will give us legal advice and honest assistance in obtaining fair
trials, fair parole considerations, law books
and the legal works. We have nothing here
by the way ofaccess to legal assistance, except cruç{jokes and deceit to fool the public.
Every lawyer in the country seems to
be involved with Watergate one way or the
óther, it's a shame to say-while every inmate
in this country is all ready over the damn
dam, so to speak, and not one of us had a
faä tnal. No matter how one may look at
it, rights were violated.

LETTERS
On Aueust 28 Abbie Hoffman along with
Michael Drosman, Car'ole Ramer and Diane
Peterson were arrested for allegedly dealing
cocaine in New York. They are being held
under $50,000 bail each (meaning it'll t¿ke
more than $200,000 to release all four, pending trial) and are charged with a felony
punishable by from 15 years to life! At
present, we know little more than what we
have read in the papers, though Anita Hoffman and their friends are organizing for
Abbie's defense. There is, ofcourse, a legitimate civil liberties issue involved. Bail is
supposedly meant to assule a defendents ap
peannce at trial, not as punishment, During
his long movement career, Abbie has been
arrested about 30 times and never missed a
court appearance. The excessively high bail
is obviously malicious; aimed at keeping
Abbie and his friends behind bars for a long
time. The reason for this letter is to help
get them out ofjail quickly and to help
raise money for the best possible legal defense.

For many years, we have worked side by
side with Abbie sharing the risks and joys of
our struggle-and with Abbie there was always plenty of both. When we needed his
help in promoting WIN or in raising money
or in þlanning and taking part in demonstrations, Abbie always gave willingly' We sus2 WIN

pect that his enthusiasm to do and be a part
ofeverything going on contributed to his
present mess. In 1967 , we published his
fîrst writing about provo/digger/Yippee-type
tactics and he has contributed frequently
since. We worked with Abbie on the earliest
peace happenings, like throwing money away
at the stock exchange and Flower Power Day.
We laughed with him at his craziest plans,
like building a replica of Noah's Ark in Tomp
kins Square Park on the Lower East Side
and filling it with a man and woman representing every possible ethnic group in the
ghetto melting pot to get the message across
that the 1968 election was as serious a cris
is for humanity as the biblical flood.
We didn't always agree on tactics' Abbie

criticized us for out dogmatic pacifism (but
usually came to us-for good reason-when
he had an action in mind), We went along
with him when we could, which was often.
We appreciated his attempts to find alternatives to dead-end violent confrontations
through street theatre, slapstick, and satire.
He taught us much about communicating
with the public and we often "accused" him
ofbeing a "closet" pacifist, for his choice of
tactics were often instinctively nonviolent.
Most of all, we loved his wit, his outrageous
imagination, and his courage, Abbie was one
leader who didn't stand in the background

With all the moral and financial supþort
that has been given me from all over thè ì
U,S, I now feel I represent the silent antiwatergate majority. For them I continue to
say "NO". \o news f¡om the appealyet,

giving orders. And he was one leader who
earned his following, Wheneve¡ there was a
risk of personal danger, Abbie would be in
the front line. [Ie got more than his share of
busts, bruises and broken noses!;
Abbie's record in the movement is long
and enviable. Since the early sixties it includes SNCC, organizing the Liberty House
craft cooperative ofSouthem Blacks (anc1
establishing its N,Y, retail outlet), community work in the Lower East Side, and the
antiwar movement, in which he became
one of our most creative, innovative activists.
We realize that the¡e are legitimate political questions raised by our support of Ab.
bie's defense. Is dealing cocaine a political
is, is as imcrime? And, even
portant as other political crimes? Should
we spend money on this particular defense
when so many other people and projects
need our time and money, and so many
other people in prison with no access to
friends and publicity could also use our support? We have no answets to these questions;
except to quote what a friend of Abbie's
said at the arraignment: that were the court
to tum him over to us, we'd not treat him

if it

it

lightly.
The only point we have to make is that
Abbie and Michael, Carole and Diane (whose
freedom is directly tied to Abbie's) need our

am I surprised that the convention failed

I can agree here with everything Norman
has said, and yet look at this spectable from
a diffe¡ent frame of rbference.
It's been my experience through five
years of teaching that teachers are as badly
ùictimized by the system as the kids are.
The Ame¡ican educationallsystem really
holds teachers in a lowly light. Almost
never are teachers given real responsibilities
o¡ decision making in the working of their
sihools, and yet they are most quickly blamed for the lack of innovation and the blandness of the school. I have seen,my older colleagues get less and less interested in doing
exciting things with the children the closer
they come to retirement. They've had it
beaten_out ofthem by the system, by 20 or

That's why I can't be too upset with
Norman's observation that the NEA teachers
wére most obsessed with colleçtive bargaining talk and talk about merger with the AFT.
I think tltis is a maturing stage. Hopefully
teache¡s'.'(vill be able to gain some control
over their'ênvironment. And hopefully they
will change it for the better if fhey do.
There'are .no guarantees that the schools will
be run better ifthe teachers are running thêm,
but at least it will be more fai¡ to blame

Wounded Knee

1973'

Madgequommoqua

by JEFFREY BLUM
A philosopher once said, History repeats itself, once
tragedy, the second time as farce. What he omitted
is that, for the people involved, the æcond time is no
less tragic. This is the situation of the Oglala S¡oux
people two months after the TGday occupation of
Wounded Knee ended in May 8.
An agreement that would have ended the occupa'
tion was negotiated on April 5. But when Sioux ne'
gotiators arrived in Washington for the agreed-upon
first meeting with White House staff, the Government
backed down from the sêttlement. The occupation
continued for another month; two lndians inside
as

the village¡ Frank Clearwatèr and,Buddy Lamont died
from gunshot wouhds; and the final agreement v/as
virtually tlre same as the one of the previous month.
Only the government's intransigence prevented thè
peaceful end of the occupation before the deaths

wlN

2rrr"o,,rn,

disproving the Government claim that the occupation
was all outsiders-AlM members and whites. A first
meeting between the elders and the White House representatives took place; a second was requested by the
lndians for May 30. ln aletter of May 29, Leonard
Garment, White House Counsel, stated that an 1871
Congressional law, never previously mentioned by the
government, means "that the days of t¡eaty-making
with the American lndians ended in 1971." Garment
suggested that the lndians talk to various Congression'
al committees and get behind Nixon's 1970 program
for Indians, which Congress has not passed.
The Sioux responje of June 9 states that the 1 871
laws says, "no obligations or any treaty lawfully made
[before 1871] shall hereby be invalidated or impaired." Thq Sioux go on to say, "We are not ásking
for the negotiation of new treaties or the changing of
any existing treaty; we are merely asking tþat the treat'
ies that already exist he enforced." They point out
that the President alre'ady has the power to create a
Treaty Commission, although getting it reaffirmed by

that self-determination meâns that each tribe has the

vote. The traditional chieß want a
vote of all the Tetbn Sioux on what typ-e of tribal government they desire. Garment outlined two possibilities: either 213 of the Tribal Council could call for
such an election, of 1 13 of the qualified voters could
call for it, The Tribal Council, however, was elected
by less than 5% of the voters, and has been the source
of much discontênt, leading to the takeovqr at Wounded Knee. lt is tctally controlled by Chairman Dick,
Wilson and illegally influenced by the local.Bureau
of lndian Affairs (BlA) head, a white bûreaucr¿t who
has since been removed. The council has refused tb
follow its own constitution

so many times that

it

has

become total.ly discredited on the reservation, except
in the town of Pine Ridge where it doles out tribal
jobs.
A petition already exists to hold new Council elections, but it has been rejected by the lnterior Department. This petition has 1460 signatures, well more
than one-third of the 3000 voters on the reslervation.
However, the lnterior Department ruled that there
are 9500 voters-strange enough for a reservation with
only 1 1,000 people and a voting age of 211 lt seems
the Department has unilateially decided that non-reservation Sioux are eligible to vote there, despite a
year residency requirement ¡n the Tribal Constitution.
"We are saying in plain and simple English language
that, if the President truly wants'self-determination '
then the right direction to that goal is to first show

criminat and civil jurisdicrion. The chiefs,
citing many specific cases of Sioux terrorized, brutal-

During the week of J uly 10, a lawyer for the Civil
Rights Division of the Justice Department,'Dennis
lckes, met with tribal headmen, AIM leaders and
their legal advisers. He heard numerous documented
cases of violence against lndians, particularly by BIA

'polîcemen; he also heard of harassment þy, FBI
and BIA agents on the reservation. A BIA roadblock
even temporarily withheld access to'the meeting place,
Chief Frank Fõols Crow's camp. Yet lckes' rdsþonse,
as one legal staffmember put it, was, "either he hasn't
heard abõut it, or an investigation is pending, or it's
outside his jurisdiction.' The guy's attitude was an insult, expecially considering how many important leaders he was talking to."
White House Counsel Garment's suggestion to have
faith in the law is particularly ludicrous in light of
the 500 people who have been arrested in connection
with the occupation of Wounded Knee. Arrests have
been by federal, state and tribal policemen, including
people as far away as Oregon and Boston. At least
300 of these were charged with consÞiring to abet a
civil disorder by bringing food and medicine to the
besieged people of the village-supplies which wero
usually stgpped by the police from entering. The last
person arrested was Dennis Banks, an AIM leader who

turned himself in J une 25 (and received $105,000 bail
for his troubles.).
By mid-J uly 100 people had been indicted on
federal charges. On the other hand, 70 cases, mainly
of thosq who:sought to supply the occupieis with food
aíld medicine, were dismissed. Bail for all defendants
has alreadii come close to half a million dollars, even
though man'i haVe'turned themselves in voluntarily
and havq lived ó4.the reservat¡on all their l¡ves.
ln,one of tåo'çarlies! major legal developments '
sinie the agreement, Judie Andr:ew Bogue, who has '
set many ofthe high bails, recently disqualified himse'lf from the trials of Russell Means and Dennis Banks,
AIM leaders. Bogue said that he could not be.obiective because he owns land in the Black Hills, which
would revert to the Sioux if the ] 868 Treaty were enforced. The Treaty will be the main case for the de'
fense. However, Bogue gave no reasons why he was
jqualified to sit on the other defendants' trials.
The question may be seÉled on another point,
however. On August 6, motions will be presented to
Chief J udge Fred Nichol to consolidate the cases
against the seven people indicted on identical 11'count
charges. Since this is a conspiracy case, the normal
procedure is to have the trials together. So far the
government has ncjt announced its position on the

matter.
Back on the reservation, there has been lifrle organized political activity since the occupation ended.
Wounded Knee 1973 followed a year-long campaign
against Tribal Chairman'Wilson. This opposition in'
cluded the Oglala Sioux Civil Rights Organization,

which was founded by older women of the reserva'
tion. This group, which Wilson banned from meeting
anywhere on the Rhode lsland'sized reservation, called
in AIM for help when they decided to take drastic

action in February. All legal channels had been tried
and exhausted: even an attempted impeachment of
Wilson failed, in part because he circumvented Tribal
Constitutional procedures for the proceedings.
"Conditions are worse than before the takeover,on
the reservation," says Sand Brim, paralegal worker with
the Legal Defense Offce in Rapid City. "They are
more violent. The night the federal marshalls left, the
BIA goon souad (as W¡lson's federally funded special
police are known) terrorized many people. Severet
Young Bear, a District Chairman, has had to have some'
one sit up all nieht. armed, in his house because of the
constant vigilante attacks." Legal despositions by lndians cite tribal authorities for refusing to register or
act on complaints of civil rights violations, false.a-rrests,
thefts, beatings, macings, shootings, people fired from
tribal jobs-always acts by Wilson's supporters against
anyone identified with the Wounded Knee takeover.
Two recent incidents indicate this violence, ln one
case, tûo known AIM sympathizers, sleeping in their
car on the reservation, were shot up so badly thèy re'
quired hospitalization. ln the other, a BIA policeman
'has testified that he came upon a white rancher beating
up two lndians. The rancher said the men stole and
attempted to steal a calf and a cow. The policeman
arrested the two men, who are regarded as Wounded

whole country. The arena for the conflict has shifted
to the courtroom; hundreds of thousands of dollars
are needed for the Indians to be able to effectively
present their case, defend all the participants at
Wounded Knee, and file related civil suits atempting
to reçoup what they have lost over a hundred years
of treaty violations. They are asking for money,
education and pressure on government bodies to prevent a "court-room massacre.'l Already pressure on
South Dakota Sen. Abourezk, who chairs the Senate
Sub-Committee on lndian Affairs, has resulted in the
removal of Pine Ridge BIA Superintendant Stanley, r,

The daily media, however, have consistently failed

to carry any information about the continuation of
the conflict in South Dakota. They have degraded the
demands of an independent lndian nation for self-de'
termination into a power play, a play for national
aúention by a few gun-toting lndian milítants.
But ít is much more than that. As an editorial in .
a national lndian newspaper stated, "Wounded Kneei .:

ln actual fact, only the authority to induct men who
'have never been defqrred has'expired. The rest of the

law-including a "residual" induction authority'for
mçn who have been deferred-is stijl there, though
funding for the Selective Service SVJtem is still in

What is more disturbing is thafthe full induc.tion authority can be restored by a simple joint resolution
of Congress that changes one number of one sentence
of section 17 of the Ril ln section 17(c), which
provides for termination of inductions, the expiration
da¡e would have to be changed to 197 5 (or whatever).

That

all.

For the present, the Pentagon is not asking for any
such change. lt is not likely that renewed inductions
would get through Congress in any case, and a volun:

matter.

:

Back on the reservation, there has been liüle organized political activity since the occupation ended.
Wounded Knee 1973 followed a year-long campaign
against Tribal Chairman'Wilson. This opposition included the Oglala Sioux Civil Rights Organization,

which was founded by older women of the reserva-

tion. This group¡ which

Wilson banned from meeting

anywhere on the Rhode lsland-sized reservation, called
in AIM for help when they decided to take drastic
action in February. All legal channels had been tried
and exhausted: even an attempted impeachment of
Wilson failed, in part because he circumvented Tribal

Constitutional proced u res for th e p roceed ings.
"Conditions are worse than before the takeover,on
the reservation," says Sand Brim, paralegal worker with
the Legal Defense Otrcè in Rapid City. "They are
more violent. The night the federal marshalls left, the
BIA goon squad (as Wilson's federally funded spe.cial
policè are known) terrorized many people. Severet
Young Bear, a District Chairman, has had to have someone sit up all night, armed, in his house because of the

constant vigilante attacks." Legal despositions by lndians cite tribal authorities for refusing to register or
act on complaínts of civil rights víolations, false arrests,
thefts, beatings, macings, shootings, people fired from
tribal jobs-always acts by Wilson's supporters against
anyone identified with the Wounded Knee takeover.
Two recent incidents indicate this violence, ln one
case, two known AIM sympathizers, sleeping in their
car on the reservation, were shot up so badly they required hospitalization. ln the other, a BIA policeman
'has testified that he came upon a white rancher beating
up two lndiarts. The rancher said the men stole and
attempted to steal a calf and a cow. The policeman
arrested the two men, who are regarded as Wounded
Knee sympathizers. No charges were brought against
the rancher, who gave the cow to the policemah as a

whole country. Thè arena for the conflict has shifted
to the ço.urtroom; hundreds of thousands of dollars
are needed for the lndians to be able to effectively
present their case, defend all the participants at
Wounded Knee, and file related civil suits aüempting
to reçoup what they have lost over a hundred years
of treaty violations. They are asking for money,
education and pressure on government bodies to prevent a "court-room massacre.'l Already pressure on
South Dakota Sen. Abourezk, who chairs the Sen¿te
Sub-Committee on lndian Affairs, has resulted in the
removal of Pine Ridge BIA Superintendant Stanley,

to carry any information about the continuation of
the conflict in South Dakota. They have degraded the
demands of an independent lnd¡an nation for self-de-'
termination into a power play, a play for national
aúention by a few gun-toting lndian militants.
l
But it is much more than that. As an editorial in ' ,
a national lndian newspaper stated, "Wounded Kneesl
do not need to be created-they will happen with
their own momentum and in their own time. What
must be created are units of people working together,'..
close to the land, cooperating with the Creation, accord¡ng to natural laws."

figures for early 1973 show a drbp in registration
greater than the drop in 1 8-year-old population. Selective Service was so concerned about this problem

pretty bad for men born on the wrong days, should

that it issued a special "reminder" poster, to be dis.
tributed by state directors.
Men who were already registered tended to relax,
ln the early months of 1973, a good many COs on al.
ternate service were convinced that all COs would be
released fqrthw¡th. Most draft counselors experienced
an almost

total falloff in

business.

Many draft counselors, of course, would prefer
to go out of business entirely, but not on present
terms. The drop in demand for draft counseling results
from false complacency, not from a drop in need.
Men are still being registered and classified. Many COs
áre having problems with civilian work, while others
who should be applying for CO status are not doing so
because they do not believe it is necessary.
It is unlikely that induetions have ended forever.

The American propensity for helping out líttle countries with unpopular governments is just too strong.
There is a real danger that men who ignore the draft
because it has "ended" will be caught short when
inductions resume.

-

PROSECUTIONS
For some men, though, the draft is impossible to ignore. 175 were indicþd in Buffalo last December for
draft violations; 95 were shortly thereafter indicted in
Boston. 85 were indicted in Milwaukee during April
and May, and Chicago counselors were expect¡ng between 50 and 200 in August.

The prosecution picture is grim. Though its back-'
log of cases may be as high as 39,000, the J ustice Department is making no concessions. At last report,
¡t ant¡c¡pated something around 8,000 Selective Service prosecutions in Fiscal 1974.
Current Justice prosecution policy is an exercise in
vindictiveness. Whereas, before June 30, any man who
changed his mind about refusing induction was allowed to accept induction without prosecution, now all
refusal cases are prosecuted unless the man agrees to
enlist. Those who register late are being prosecuted
even though they eventually did comply with the law.
The emphasis now seems to be cleaning up the back-

log, with no quarter, and enforcing a registration requirement of questionable value even for the government.

THE GREAT REGULATIONS CLEANUP
ln the meantime, predictably, Selective Service is using the present period of quiet to straighten out many
of the worst kinks in its regulations. lf inductions resume, draft counselors and their clients will have to
cope with an entirely new animal.
A recent revision to the callup regulations, for example, wipes off the books at one stroke the entire
end-of-the-year-defermçnt-droppi ng scram ble that
was one feature of the lottery system. All men,
whether deferred or not, are now considered part of
the lottery pool during the year they turn 20. Those
with high numbers drop to safety at the end of that
year. The unfortunates with low numbers become
part of the Extended Priority Selection Group, a
special purgatory reserved for men whose numbers
have been reached by the end of the year. These men
are then stuck ¡n EPSG

until age26.

Unless there are

inductions, no number is reached, but the future looks

inductions resume.
The doctor's draft has been revised completely.
Processing of conscientious objectors for civilian
work was.tightened up shortly before the end of in-

ductions. Many smaller

The result should be a cleaner, more effent, less vulnçrable draft system. Hurrah.

IN CONGRESS
For the first time since 1948, there are at least three
bills in Congress to repeal the diaft law entirely. Experts do not give any of fhem much chance of passage,
but their existence alone is significant and encouraging.
Even more encouraging is the probable cutback in
the Selective Service System appropriation. The
House approved a $47 .5 rhillion appropriation in J urie;
shortly afterward, the Senate approved an appropria:
tion of $35 million. At the time this was written, the
Selective Service appropriation was in conference cóm.
mittee. The,likely compromise was in the neighborhood of $40 million. That is $15 million under the
amount requested by the Administration.

changes have been made.

RUMBLINGS
Even as the Selebtive Service System was bein$ cut
back, however, there were rumblings of discontent
with the volunteer army. The rumblers ranged from;
the Association of the U,S. Army (a group-of retired
offcers with predictable attitudes) to the General
Post ran frequent stories on how badly the volunteer
army was doing and how it was being drawn increasingly from the poor and black,
Whether or not recruiting was down was nearly impossible to determine. The military sets its own enlistment quotas, stand4rds, and guidelines. Manipulation of even one of these factors can create a "ñan- .
power shortage." Thus, resigning Assistant Sècretary
of Defense Roger Kelley was quoted as saying that!å .
certain elements in the Pentagon were try¡ng to
sabotage the volunteer force.
Selective Service officials themselves were predicting
-off the record-that inductions would begin agaín with
within 18 months to two years. During his brief period as Secretary of Defense, Elliott Richardson scoffed
at such predictions, but his successor has not yet taken
so clear a stand, Of course, what with this, that, and
the other thing otherwise known as Watergate, the
draft is the least of everyone's concern in ofücial Washington these days.
What is clear is that recruiting for the Reserves and
National Guard and recruiting of doctors has fallen
precipitiously. ln addition, a special new $2500 combat enlistment bonus, tested in May and J une, was a
flop, That in itself makes an early return tô inductions
a real possibility.
ln the meantime, the draft goes on, quietly and unobtrusively. My own guess is that there will be pressure for inductions within the next two years-quite
possibly for a Reserve draft. The more the public believes that the diaft is over, the greater the çhance
that it will quietly resume with little opposition.
Those of us who know the draft is not dead should
not let that happen.

By coincidence I saw both these plays fqr Þurposes of reviewing them on the same evening. They are playing in tandem at the same theater, the N ight Houso; and perhaps
that is all that they share. But they feel like they,should be
reviewed together. One, Coming Out, deals-with homoJ
sexuality in past and present America. The other, The
Woman's Representative, with male chauvinism in presentday China. Both have a stab at explaining something about
important questions in their respective societies. Boih are
highly propagandistib. Both are deeply satisfying, I suppole,li
if you agree with their basic premises, both somewhat borin!
if you don't. Both seem to preach tothe converted.

through in the theater.

What the obvious direction and often clumsy cast do give,
however, is a terribly convincing feeling of commitment.
And it makes this an amateur productión in the best sense
of the word. Everyone is up there because they believe in
what they are saying and doing and because they must make
these ideas known to a wider world. This is in itself power- .
fully moving. Hoúever tediou! the tone of the show sometimes was for me, I do know that many people around me
were deeply affected, I know that for many people, this
will be the first time in their lives that they will have seen
what they.feel and believe stomped and sÉouþd from a
stage. This is tremendously important and it is very excit- r'
ing to witness. I don't think I háve ever had a theater experience quite likê this and I suspect there is nothing to
compare with it in New York.
Picked up by a good college theater group or a more experienced professional company, Coming Out may even

pfove to be a pretty skillful compiling of the thoughts and

feelings ofthose gays with the courage and the forum to
speak out about their loves and their'lot.

fist-shaking defiance. Somehow old Wait Whitman comes
off as almost the only calm human being with loves and a
humanistic point of view amid all those tough, belligerent
gays. Not that gay life and art haven't the right, indeed the
necessity, to be pretty tough and sometimes belligerent, bur
two hours of it is hard to take when you're a straight and
the theater is hot and crowded.
ln fairness to Katz's script, I should pgint out that the
actors are inexperienced and totally committed to their
work, a combination that hardly leads to sensitive, deeptoned performances. And probably director David Rogensack must take some of the blame for the bombastic acting.
His blocking which is a sort of semi-choreographed miming,
unfailingly goes for the most obvious in the spoken text and
allows inexperienced actors to do what comes most naturally
to them: over acting sometimes horrendous, even in this
amateur context.
