a scheduling demonstrations on 3 October militant in approach, but
narcorlla in quantity will probably be present and be used. Addi-
tionally, a'sizable number of people can be expected. Since the rock
Gusic festival season has paseed,>the Yippies will probably muster at
least 10-19,000 street people. Although the Rennie Davis effort is .
late in etarting, local colleges alone could produce many thousands of
protestors. McIntire promises one half million but more realistically
will probably attract betwteen 50,000 and 70,000. Vice President Ky
certainly must be regarded as a strong drawing card for the demon-
' stration. It should also be pointed out tbat many of the McIntire fol-
lowers &re blue collar types, and undoubtedly many subscribe to a
"hard' hat" mentality.
On 23 September, Davis and fetlow radical leftist antiwar
.leader, Prof. Sidney Peck, announced formation o f the Ad Hoc Com-
mittee to Protest the Presence of f(y in Waihington. Their plan is to
march on the 3rd from the HEW building at 4th and Independence Avenue
to the Monument grounds and engage in l'civil disobedience" (a philosophy
of "militant &vi1 disobedience" as enunciated by Davis and others several
monthsago is one of the several serious strategy differences between the
New Mobe and the Trotskyite Student.Mobe who subscribe to "massive
nonviolence!':' the dropping of the word "militant" is probably not an
accident but rather a compromise to elicit support of lqcal Student
Mobesters; one of the other serious strategy problems b e h e e n the anti-
war radical groups--that of a "one issue at a time" tactic advanced by
the Trotskyites--is not at issue this time-out).
