The Weather.Partly cloudy and warmer.

"Continuous News ServiceSince 1881."

The incidents of violence in-volved only a small fraction ofthe demonstrators in town,.evenas spectators, and were effective-ly unrelated to the major protestactivities.

Administration officials whohad previously tried to discour-age or play down the Mobe'sactivities were quick to brandthe weekend's activities as vio-lent. -Attorney General John N.Mitchell said in a Sunday pressrelease that most of the blamefor the weekend's violence restswith the New Mobe.

He cited the Mobe's per-mitting David Dellinger and MissCarol Brightman to encouragepeople from the speakers' plat-form to follow them to a de-monstration at the Justice De-partment immediately after theSaturday rally, and he allegedthat the Mobe had failed todiscourage the presence and acti-vities of the extremists.

Other high government offi-cials, principally in the Congress,took the opposite view, com-mending the New Mobe for itsorganization of an overall peace-ful demonstration.

New 'Mobe officials took ex-ception to Mitchell's allegations,noting that they had repeatedlydiscouraged extremist activities.As for the allegedly inflamma-tory speeches at the rally, Mobeorganizers explained that it wastheir policy that once they hadgiven Dellinger and Miss Bright-man permission to speak, theyhad no right to specify what thetwo could say.

Pres. Nixon carefully'ignoredthe protest activities, cloisteringhimself inside the White Housewatching a televised footballgame during the march and rallySaturday. Administrationspokesmen reiterated their con-tention that protest activitieswould not affect US foreignpolicy.

Violent confrontations be-tween extremist protesters andpolice occurred Friday nightnear the South Vietnamese Em-bassy, late Saturday afternoon atthe Justice Department (withscattered incidents in the down-town area continuing into thenight), and Sunday in theGeorgetown section. About 150were arrested over the weekend.

Police relied on tear gas,rather than a charging line indirect contact with the demon-strators to disperse the violentcrowds. There were no seriousinjuries at any of the confronta-tions, and in no case did thepolice take action until after thedemonstrators had been warned.

Community improvement-Friday's community projects

consisted of improvement workin some of Boston's underpriv-ileged areas. About 35 studentsspent the morning painting inthe -Elma Lewis School of FineArts in Roxbury. Another 100students cleaned up and leaf-letted in the Orchard Park PublicHousing Project. A third groupworked for the South End Ten-ants' Council clearing out buil-dings. The purpose of theseactivities was to emphasize theneed of funds for domestic pro-grams.

Activities organized in theBoston community as part ofthe November Moratorium in-cluded both canvassing and com-munity improvement projects.

The emphasis Thursday, Nov.13, was on canvassing working -

class areas. The prime objectivesof the canvassers were to' "getpeople to read the material",and "if people are opposed toNixon's plan, to get them to-dosomething about it."

Tu-n-out moderateCanvassing activities began at

9 am and ran through most ofthe day. According to JeffRosen of the MassachusettsMoratorium Committee, theturnout was moderate, but theday's activities went well. Heestimated that a total of 500people had participated.

MIT participation lightOnly about 20 MIT students

participated in Thursday's can-

march-- allowed-- only- about70,000 to follow the route alongPennsylvania Ave. to 15th St.,and then to the Monument. Theother participants walked downthe Mall.

The weekend's activities at-tracted a number of violence-prone extremist groups, amongthem the Weathermen, Crazies,Mad Dogs, and some too new ofobscure to recognize. Lookingfor trouble, and equipped for itwith their helmets and gasmasks, the extremists were in-volved in incidents of violenceon several occasions. Attemptsby the New Mobe 'and its mar-shalls to discourage the radicalswere in vain.

By Ed MarkowitiThe Baddour commission

formed last month to "collectand assess" facts related to theOctober 3 demonstration beforethe MIT Corporation, submittedits Final report to Dean for Stud-ent Affairs Daniel -Nyhart lastweek amidst NAC preparationsfor the November Action againstMIT.

Professor Raymond Baddour,Department Of Chemical Eng-ineering, presided over the sixman commission. In a letterbated Oct. 14, 1969, DeanNyhart charged the Commissionwith the following: '"The eventsoutside the meeting of the Corp-oration on Friday, October 3, atthe fourth floor of the Sloanbuilding are of concern to the-entire MIT community. I amasking a group of faculty, stud-ents, and staff, composed mostlyof observers on the scene, tocollect and assess the facts andto make a written report ofthose facts to me along with anyrecommendations they shouldchoose to include..."

Under the heading "thebroader concern" the basis forpolicies of the Institute con-cerning "disruption" were listedas:1. The intention of certaingroups to hamstring, if not des-.troy MIT.2. The fact that the "issues"raised by these groups are onlyin part genuine.3. The groups are not to betrusted - MIT should always beprepared for the worst.4. Time is on the side of theInstitute.Under this same heading, thedissidergtgroups were listed ashaving acted under the followingassumptions:1. Morally their grounds are socorrect that any impediment tothe achievement of their goals isviolent and immoral. Any actiontaken to achieve their goals isjustified.2. MIT is the puppet of externalforces which are commited tothe frustration of the achieve-ment of the goals.

The Commission collectedinformation primarily by inter-viewing individuals directlyivolved by the events. Theyspoke to representatives ofRL-SDS, SACC, the GeneralAssembly, and the MIT admin-istration. However, the Com-mission could not reach every-one involved in the incidentbecause of a severe time con-straint. The members of theCommission felt that further in-vestigation would not have ledto substantive additions orchanges in their report.

Lack of Communication

The first 16 pages of thereport contain a description ofboth the events leading up to themarch and the march itself. TheCommission's analysis of theconfrontation follows thisstraight-forward narration. Themost general conclusion theCommission reached was that"there was an apparent lack ofcommunication among studentsand administration preceding theCorporation meeting."

Oppenheimer SymposiumOn Friday at 2:30 pm in the

Sala there will be a symposiumabout the issues raised in the playIn the Matter of J. Robert Oppen iheimer. Members of the cast nowplaying at the Colonial Theaterwill be there as well as some ofthe principals in the actual case.This includes Profs. Zacharias,Weisskopf, Valley, and Hill.

There will also be a specialblock of tickets for MIT studentsfor the Thursday night performance. They will be sold for only$2 apiece in the TCA office,x 4886.

ON NAC ACTIONI-Labs suffer bomb scare;

Institute acts in court

7->'-~ .. __ * - By Robert EldiThe effect§ of the November

Actions weire still being feltSaturday as- Prident HowardJohnson announced the forma-tion of two special panels toexamine offenses that may haveoccurred against the Institute orindividual members of the MITcommunity during the week.

The first panel, chaired byProf. Hartley Rogers of Mathe-matics, will "receive and reviewcomplaints which may be inviolation of accepted standardsof behavior." According toRogers, the panel will considerand 'identify the incidents thattrouble the community and re-commend which actions should-be given further consideration. Itwill not be a fact-finding paneland it is interested not in parti-cular individuals but in the actsthemselves.

The panel will not act unlessit is asked to act by an individualregistering a complaint with thepanel. It will receive complaintsfrom all sides.

Panel make-upThe first special panel is com-

posed of six faculty membersand six others representive ofthe MIT community.-They are:'Professors Rogers, StanleyBacker of Mechanical Engineer-ing, Everett E. Hagen of PoliticalScience, Thomas B. King ofMetallurgy, Robert J. Kolenkowof Physics, and Salvador E. Luriaof Biology; Davi C. Driscol,Assistant Director of the Divi-sion of Sponsored Research;graduate students David N.Caplan and Eben T. Walker;Jeffrey E. Hankoff '70 andWilliam S. Stroud '70; and VeraKistiakowsky, Senior ResearchScientist in the Department ofPhysics.

The second special panel,chaired by Prof. Merton C.Flemings, will review complaintsinvolving violations of the lawand make recommendations con-cerning the initiation of legalaction by MIT against indivi-duals committing illegal acts. Aswill the Rogers panel, this groupwill focus on: the -acts and notthe individuais.involved. It willconsider complaints against bothmembers of they MIT communityand outsiders.

Flemings considers the pa-nel's major function that of be-ing a source df'advice to Presi-dent Johnson'aside from thelawyers. He believes that lawyerscan f'md many violations of thelaw ff they desire. The panel willdiscuss and evaluate the issueson a non-legal basis.

Same PatternRepresentation on the 6

member second panelreflects thesame proportional compositionas the Rogers panel. The mem-bers are: Professors Flemings,Eugene Goodheart, Humanities,Paul- W. MacAvoy, Management,Richard E. Marshall of theI-Labs, graduate student JamesW. Pugh, and Katherine Swartz'72.

FAG organizesThe Faculty Advisory Group,

rihally set up to advise John-during the November

Actions, has established an or-gaiizing committee to encourageand coordinate a more completediscussion of the Report of theReview Panel on the SpecialLaboratories (Pounds Report].They will especially consider thereport in relation to the broadquestion of the appropriatenessof MIRV research at MIT. It willattempt to provide an effectivemechanism for discussion amongfaculty, students, and staff.

I-Lab bomb scareI-Labs 5 and 6 were closed

for about I4 -hours last Wednes.day afternoon, Nov. 12, when ananonymous caller telephonedbomb threats to the CampusPatrol.

The calls were received by theCampus Patrol at about 12:45pro. The caller said that bombswould explode at the labs "with-in an hour".

The labs were emptied withinfive minutes, forcing approxi-mately 175 workers at IL-5,where MIRV is being developed,and some 300 workers at IL-6 toleave the area until 2 pm. whenthe Cambridge Fire Departmentdeclared the buildings safe.

IL-6 houses a wide variety ofprojects, including research inbasic inertial guidance theoryand systems. This work is spon.-sored by the Air Force. In addi-tion, there are groups workingon Air Traffic Control and Heli-copter Stabilization at IL-6.

Bernard Feldman, executiveofficer of the labs, said that thelast such scare at the labs hap-pened about four years ago, andthat this one was relatively rou-tine.

We mut also consdeathe posskle ipact on other universtes anddefense co -actors - will it be as substiat andpositive as some i, or wil -it be nqligble,and/or counterproductve?

We must also consider .the costs to this,institution. If we ab'tate this conirac, will thegovernment withhold funds forfuture uban re-search? WM other research fields be hit as well?Will the key personnel in the labs leave to formtheir own company? Will the labs be so crippledthat conversion is impossible? Will this actionprove so intolerable to other faculty members thatthey will resign and go elsewhere?

These are real questions, and questions whichmust be confronted.There is not much time.

There has been a lot of talk recently aboutending MIT's contract to buid the gu forthe Poseidon MIRV. Unfortunately, most of thepublic discussion has consisted of one sie saying.,atop MIRV stop MIRV stop MIRV. . ," and the

other side saying "contract commitmertS contractcommitments contract comnitments..:' Wewould lie to see more discumsin of two basicquestions: First, what will the benefits be from aunilateral-or negotiated termination of this co*tract? Second, what will be the costs?

In discussin the benefits, we must ask whetherour stopping this project at this time will affectdeployment. President Richard Nixon has an-nounced his intention of continuing MIRV tesduring the SALT talks, thus making it inconceiv-able that the Russians will agree not to developand deploy their own MIRV. If we are to act, wemust act soon.

Let us consider the concrete results of abro-

The report submitted by the panel headed byProf. Raymond Baadour which investigated theactivities surrounding the October 3 Corporationmeeting has evidently chosen to pass the disciplinebuck back to the Dean's office. It is ironic thatthey choose -to do so, since this panel wasoriginally conceived to circumvent the old systemin which the Dean for Student Affairs wasplaintiff, judge, jury, and prosecuting attorney.

We are more distressed, however, by the cynicalattitudes which the Baddour group reports to havediscerned in the way in which the Institute has

handled "disruptions". It reports that the-Instituteassumes that '"The issues raised by these groups areonly in part genuine issues; if they were resolved,other "issues" would arise to take their place."The panel also reports that the Institute believesthat "the groups are not to be trusted, and MITmust always be-prepared for the worst."

We hope that the Baddour group has misinter-preted Institute policy or that the views held inprivate by Institute officials will begin to coincidewith the willingness to address issues which theyproclaim so loudly in public.

In Defense of PoolTo the Editor:

As former students of Profes-sor Ithiel Pool, we feel that ourassociation- in various capaci-ties- with Dr. Pool's researchprojects benefited. our educa-tion greatly. We believe stronglyin Dr. Pool's personal and pro-fessional integrity and that suchsocial science research projectsas the Com Com Project arelegitimate in a university setting.

Counterproductive?

To the Editor:I recognize the important

contribution made by SACC inbringing the issue of war-relatedresearch into open discussion onthis campus. Consequently, Iwas all the more grieved lastThursday to see SACC em-bracing the tactics of the NAC-the Vietcong flags, the Ho ChiMinh chant, and all the rest ofthe tiresome liturgy. To me,these acts are not only abhorrentbut senseless. When oppositionto the war and to military re-search become identified withmarching behind the Vietcongflag, who benefits? Only thosewho seek to discredit theanti-war movement.

To the Editor:Prof. Weisenbaum in his !tter

whenrwe go_ dow :this,vad ,we,,will be fortunate and merelyachieve the fun, games and totaldemoralization of Latin Ameri-can universities where everyoneis political and university policyis dictated -at the Whim of thepolitical forces in power.

When universities becamepolitical they shortly became theservants of political forces fromoutside the campus. The reasonis obvious. As agents of politicalpower, the universities are fee.blein the extreme. Yet they arecompletely dependent for sup-port upon real political and eco-nomic bases in' the society. Inany confrontation with nakedpolitical and economic powerfrom without, the universitieslose every time. Ours are fragileinstitutions and can survive onlywith a mutually accepted princi-ple that, whatever the politicalactivities of their members, theuniversities ihemselves must re-mai/n apolitical. We can chooseto have politics in the universitybut as history amply demon-strates, we cannot choose thepolitics we get.

It is useful to ponder thesignificance of recent evens.Franklin Long was removedfrom consideration as the headofthe National Science Foun-dation for purely political rea-sons. Many of the cmies ofanguish over "politics inscience" came- from the samepeople who had supported apolitical "research strike" and

faculty in taking a politcal stand,even for the most compellingmoral reasons, is one more stepand a very large one toward thepoliticization of the university.

Prof. Weisenbaum incorrectlycites the example of the-Germanuniversities. He states that "intheir time of crisis (they) kepttheir Silence in order to preservetheir prerogatives". This may bea comforting view of the Nation-al Socialist Era; it is to say theleast naive. Far from being apoli-tical islands, the German univer-sities were, in fact, completelypolitical and completely Nazi.This is well documented in astudy covering the year 1936(The German Universities andNational Socialism) by EdwardHartshorn who concluded that"the institutions of higherlearning have been. broughtthoroughly into line with thesentiments and ambitions Of thenational government". Jewswere removed from faculties forpolitical reasons. Curricula werechanged to teach, for example,German physics rather thanJewish physics for political rea-sons. Most horrifying of all, theintellectual foundations for theracial extermination came fromthe universities as documentedby Max Weinreich in '"Hitler'sProfessors"'.

The history of the Germanuniversities in the 1930's doesindeed contain a lesson. Theyrepresent an extreme example ofpoliticized universities. PerhaPs

to the Tech of Oct. 17 refers to'my reminder to the faculty thatfederal and- local statutesgoverning tax exempt organiza-tions prescribe political activityby. such organizations. Since myraising of a point of law isequated with "moral bankrupt-cy" I am obliged to reply toProf. Weisenbaum.

He says that "speakingup ofthe institute (on a political issue)is a most urgent. and patrioticduty". Presumably he meansthat we should, as an Institution,fc;rego our tax exempt status.This would be a most coura-geous act indeed and wouldchange the nature of the insti-tute beyond recognition. How-ever, we would then be free asan institution to comment on allissues and engage in such politi-cal activity as- we see fit. Iassume we are not being in-structed to ignore the law -whensome members of the facultyfeel strongly about an issue. Ifwe are to-set ourselves above thelaw, even for the most lofty ofpurposes, we join the companyof such organizations as the KluKlux Klan who ignore the lawfor what they see as most seriousand important knoral issues.

Unfortunately, it is not possieble to separate. political actionby the university from moralconsiderations. While all moralissues are not necessarily politi-cal, all political issues are alsomoral ones. The action of our

.who now push for universitiestaking political stands. We are ina poor position to protest thepoliticization of scholarshipsince we are engaged in the sameactivity.

It is the right and duty ofmembers of our society to dis-sent from and protest publicpolicy which they disapprove.Convertinig the university into avehicle of protest may seem aneasy way of discharging thatresponsibility. 'It is certainlymore convenient than politicalaction off the campus. The price

-we will pay by subverting theprinciple of political indepen-dence is incalculable.

The events of the past week-end in Washington and severalother recent incidents suggestthat -the country and the Move-ment are entering a new andominous political era.

This country is sick, and itwill become sicker because Dr.Nixon has chosen to isolate theilientated tissue rather than curewhat ails it. -His November 3speech did not unite the countrybehind him; it instead madecomplete his break with thepeace movement and remindedthe apolitical that he was, in-deed, worrying about the war.He may have received tens ofthousands of letters supporting

his stance, but hundreds of thou-sands invested their time andmoney to go themselves toWashington to renounce thatpolicy. Had the Washingtoncrowd been limited to a hundredthousand or so, it could havebeen argued that Nixon hasbought a few more months. Butthe quarter million who marchedand the quarter million whowere turned away because of thetime limit on the permit madethe biggest rally Washington hadever seen.

Meanwhile, Nixon preparesthe machinery of repression.Spiro Agnew is his finger in thewind, sensing- how far Nixon cango in acting against the broadbase of the Movement by associ-ating it with the more extremeelements.

It was no accident that Ag-new lashed out against TV lastweek, for it is the tube whichforces the average American toconfront reality, to see the warin his living room as well as thethousands who are trying to dosomething about it. When peoplesee what is really happening,they might feel obliged to dosomething about it. Nixondoesn't want that; hence theattempt to discredit the sourceof people's concern.

How far will the anti-anti-warattempts go? There was somespeculation that when it ap-peared that the Apollo flightwould be scrubbed for thisweekend, Nixon ordered it to goregardless of the weather to di-vert attention from the march.Fantasy? Perhaps. But if any-thing happens to those astro-nauts, some interesting questionswill be asked.

Few students are aware thatthe McCarthy era began withconcern about the "loss" of Chi-na. If a situation develops inwhich -we "lose" Vietnam, it islikely that there will be a newwitch-hunt, perhaps with Agnewas the chief hunter. Some of theobvious "witches" are on thiscampus and are already discuss-ing this probability.

Some sanguine observers saythat the French withdrawal fromIndochina did not result in suchhysteria. However, one mustkeep in mind that France doesnot suffer from the US anti-com-munist psychosis, perhaps be-cause of its large CommunistParty which participates routine-

The City: Planned'by L'En-fant the fit capital of a mightynation; built by ambition andpower run a little wild into thepompous hub of an Empiredwarfing Rome. Indeed Washing-ton in the Federal district isreminiscent of the Imperial City.Ionic and Corinthian collonades,Parthenon-like friezes, statueseverywhere, marble and stoneeverywhere, taxpayers' dollarsfueling electric lights so that thetrappings of power and glory(the phallic Monument its ulti-mate expression) may be proper-ly displayed. And all larger thanlife, bigger than a man; scale toogreat to be human. Such is theshrine of 200 years of democra-cy gone corporate.

Within the beseiged city thepolice waited: few on the streetsbut many in the stations. Thetroops (Wash. Post says 9000)wait: a few MPs at the WhiteHouse, the rest hidden. Hiddenon the upper floors of "abaft-doned" WWII temporary buil-dings. Secreted within the Dept.of Commerce. Basemented inthe Executive Office Building.Waiting in locations unknown,and there are more, many more,outside the city. The Iron Handmay be here but it has learnedsince Chicago how radicals aremade and though present itwears a velvet glove and istucked in a discreet pocket.

Within a perimeter of D.C.Transit buses blocking off theWhite house grounds and theEllipse, behind police and MPcordons, cuddling with maybe athousand troops, Nixon waits.We will not know what he isthinking as he sits isolated andbeseiged as no American Presi.dent ever before. He makes pre-tense to business as usual. Re-turned from Florida and theunprecedented foul-weatherlaunching of Apollo 12 (Scrub-

Butas gas drifts down the streets thisFriday night, one hopes that he'sgotten a taste. Perhaps Nixon sat--at his window -in the darknessand reflected upon how manytroops he would need in Novem-ber 1970. -Perhaps he'll stay inFlorida then.

They say a quarter millionbut they will never know. I sawthe Boston Common and I sayhalf a meg. Via plane, via train,via automobile and bus. Somealone, most in groups; most ar-ranged but a few on the strengthof their thumbs. Mostly youngbut some were older, some wereold. Mostly hairy but some ap-peared faithful children of theProtestant Ethic. They came, fll-ling the planes and clogging theroads, converged from theNorth, the South and the West:like filings to a magnet, in therain and the bonechill cold ofthe'Ides November.

Yippies lead marchto serve eviction notice on SouthVietnamese embassy; police linefalls back. Dupont Circle, gather-ing place of D.C.'s hippie colo-ny, contains several thousandpeople, not all demonstratorshere. About a thousand, maybetwo, march this time.Demonstrators open up withrocks and bottles; police openup with gas. Weathermen flee,smashing store windows. A few

pieces of busted glass. A burningpigcycle. Big shit, some revolu-tion.

(In Japan they are fire-bombing railway stations; in Par-is they're at the barricades again.Violence? This is and will be noChicago.

Gas is all that is necessary todisperse the crowd. CS and pep-per gas, no MACE or nausea gasCN. Three of us move up Con-necticut Ave. toward the Circlebut eat gas and retreat.

Adiobe oversells -:-bustcthe-part of either of them thatmany more tickets could havebeen sold. Miss Sheppard estim-ated that-a total of-8000 seatscould have been sold if they hadbeen available.

Additional difficulty fesultedwhen the New Mobe learnedthat the bue had to be paid forwith Certified checks. The wholeset-up nearly collapsed since thiswas not learned until just beforethe banks' closing time.

Difficulty also arose in theloading of the buses. SWS, whichhad planned to load at-HarvardSquare, decided at the: last.rin-ute to load at Freedom Square.Since they- did not finish until10:30, the. New Mobe was de-layed. A Second pxoblem re-

-suited from the fact that thepalice had failed to .put no-parking covers on 'the parkingmeters in the Square althoughthey- had promised several timesthat they would do this.

When, at the end of the week,it was. necessary to turn awaypeople who wanted to buy tic-kets, many workers were left

.with a sense of frustration' that,their efforts had been negated.

ticket sales rose rapidly on Wed-nesday, the New Mobe officebegan to have difficulty keepingup with the sales figure it wasreiing from outlying sellers.

The decision was then made toend ticket sales at noon onThursday. Many, groups',-how-'-ever, did not stop selling tickets.

Sales. 'mAccording to Miss Herzfeld,

the bus arrangements were madeby one person at the New Mobeoffice.. She -stated that.she felthehad in tly estimated the-number of people who wouldbuy tickets'and so did not re-serve enoigh buses. She also feltthat- he; had not delegated hisauthority properly. and hadtried to do too much himself.

Miss Sheppard, on the otherhand, felt that blame for theaffair could'not be placed onone person. The issue that the,New Mobe had used in the pasthad -failed this time because itwas impossile to get buses dur-ing the later part of the week.She suggested that there migthave been some sort of pressureon the bus companies not torent' any additional buses to themarchers.

There -was little question on

By Lee G cuereOver 20D0 people were left

waithg in Freedom Square Fri-day night for buses to Washing-ton to participate in the marchthere. Although as many as halfof those may not have boughttickets, the foul-up was due tothe New. Mobe's troubles in ob-taining buses for the trip.

According to Judy, Herzfeldof the MIT Moratorium Commit-tee, the problem wa that the

-New Mobe had managed thebus arangements. A contadic-tory explanation was given byLinda Sheppard of the NewMobe, who said that the prob-lem was largely due to the buscompanies which refused to rentmore buses in the later part ofthe Week.

to reserve bue according totbeir-running 'ticket sales incemoney was not available tc re-serve-them ahead of time. Thiswas the way in which similararrangements had been made inthe past. This time, however,there were no more buses avail-able for reservation and sales hadto be halted.

ly in elections. For the US,however, withdrawal will takeon ideological as well as nation-alistic overtones which theFrench did not face.

If withdrawal does not come,however, Nixon's "Silent Majori-ty" will bear further scrutiny.Silence in this case does notsignify assent, but merely lack ofinterest. This group wants tolead its own little lives and pre-fers, as Agnew has so ominouslyput it, "order to liberty." Oftenthis outlook will take the opera-tional form of trusting the Presi-dent on the grounds-that he hasmore information than any citi-zen. More information, perhaps,but more sense and-. sensitivity?

There seem to be only twoalternatives for which peoplewill work. One ofthese is mili-tant action. The other is masspolitical organizing, an optionwhich has become more andmore viable since theMoratorium.

It may be too much to hopefor, but the communications

·network and associations formedby the Moratorium Committeecould conceivably become theframework for either a new par-ty or a national anti-war lobby.

For this approach to work, ofcourse, takes time, time whichmany people axe not willing towait. For the militants, the timeof symbolic protest is past.

Beyond this, there is alwayssabotage. Three weeks ago, Ispeculated in these columns thatthis would indeed become acommon tactic among thosewho think of themselves as revo-lutionaries. (Needless to say, thiswill separate the real revolution-aries from the sheep- you can'tplan sabotage in public meetingsa la NAC!) It was only a matterof time until someone with thekamikaze dedication of theWeathermen but more tacticalsense would see that clandestineoperations are far more efficientthan overt mass actions. Last

If the militant factions con-tinue to increase the level oftheir actions, government actionagainst the Movement will begin

in earnest. Besides sending a-gents onto campuses and raisinglevels of intimidation, Nixon willalso attempt to identify all anti-war protesters with violent ele-ments and use this as an excuseto suppress dissent. Already At-torney General John Mitchellhas denounced the "violent" de-monstrations of last weekend.

Nixon id not afraid of stu-dent militance; he has enoughforce at his disposal to quell anydisturbance, probably with mas-sive public support. He /s afraidof immense repudiation of hiswar policy, and hopes to muddythe political waters by attractingsupport on the anti-violenceissue.

It also said;that she was killed by reaction-ary militarists. And I askedmyself, who won in Germany,when people preferred order toliberty?

"I am an effetesnob" was a very popular theme.(Spiro did his bit to get peopleto Washington. Maybe John Mit-chell will have him indicted inthe next Conspiracy case.)

I marched with the Pilots,playing at revolution, shoutingthe slogans, making the clenchedfist sign.-Shocking people. It isfun, seeing how they recoil, likewalking into a restaurant naked.It is exhibitionism. It is action.It is fun and exhilarating, andprobably one reason revolution-aries become revolutionaries. It'sexciting.

Most people never got ontoPennsylvania Avenue, whichcould only accomodate about50,000 marchers.- The restswarmed down the Mall to theMonument, joining the torrentof Marchers, tightly confined tothe street by linked MOBE mar-shals, at the grounds near 15thSt. Then begain-the rally, alter-nating in aspect from Be-in toNuremburg rally. The speecheswere dull but the music wasgood. There were moving mo-ments as people began singing"Give Peace a Chance"; ludi-crous moments as Yippies wentrunning around, human chained,whooping and hollering. NLFflags competed with Americanflags. Carnival.

Meanwhile, thousands ofpeople took refuge from coldwinds in the Smithsonian. Lineson bathrooms got to be twodozen deep. The museum police,like almost all the cops I met,were very courteous, very friend-ly. (A few cops responded to the_V-sign with I 's of their own.'One threw me the fist. Is SDSinffiltrating the pigs?),

The -mass rally goes on. In acorner near Constitution Ave.the revolution gathers and headsfor the Justice Department ear-ly. They encircle it, the Yippiesburn a gavel ("Stop the Trial!"),rocks are thrown, paint, cur-ses. ... gas, gas, gas. John Mit-chell and (ha!) Ronald Ziegler,inside, get gas thru a brokenwindow when the wind shifts.The Weathermen go on a veryminor rampage again, retreatingnorth and breaking windows.Their most militant action, how-.ever, was reserved for their fac-tional enemies in SDS, PL-WSA,whose office at 1907 F St. theyattacked Saturday night.

As for the rest of the Armiesof the Night, they retreated inan orderly, peaceful (but highlycongestive of highways) fashion.Sporadic vandalism continued,but the city was quiet at mid-

attention from politics, takes theedge of grimness off the crowd.They gather, by state and univer-sity, under signs and banners,numbers growing all the time.

Comes the Revolutionaries.Red flags, NLF flags, hundredsof them. RYM SDS from Indi-ana pushes through the crowd tojoin RYM SDS from Illinois. Thered flaggers, as they always tryto do, move toward the front totake over the van of the march.Not quite successfully; MOBEwon't let them have it. It's re-served for McGovern and Good-ell and Mrs. King, the liberalfronts for the Vietnik, peacen'ikquite obviously socialist com-munist leftist radicals that pre-dominate in NEW MOBE. (Wea-therman ard the Pilots get somesatisfaction, though: they keeptheir pledge not to disrupt themain march but they form into aline across Pennsylvania Avenue,keeping distance in front ofthem, presenting a solid front of

8 am and the Armies emergefrom a thousand temporary shel-ters and home on the Mall at 3rdSt. With the Capitol as back-ground, Woodstock II (III?)gathers. They come in peace andthey are peaceful; come for loveand are loving, helping eachother-strangers-climb intotrees, climb buildings, snap eachothers photos, bundle forwarmth, meet, laugh, talk, neck,drink wine from flasks as atfootball games. Others smokejoints. It will be like this all day,as they march and on the Mall.The great joy of sheer ingath-ering of the tribe takes some

There was a March. Maybeyou were there, or maybe yousaw it on TV. What can I say, amarch is a march. They hadcome from all over, from everywalk of life, and there theywere, marching around Washing-ton in the hope that Nixonwould see and hear and concludethat America wants out NOWand' would bring~ the troopshome. But Nixon sat in theWhite House listening to hisvoices of the silent majority.
