He had implemented the use of Student identification cards so that when outside drug pushers hit the schools they could be removed for not hav- ing I.D. cards. Foster refused to allow police into his schools, since he believed that the I.D. cards a better method in combating the drug problem, There was criticism by both liberal and conservative factions in the community over this practice, but his most vehement opponent was then unknown, On November 6, 1973, two menbers of the S.L.A. gunned down Marcus Foster in an alley on his way home from & Board of Education meeting. They used cyanide tipped bullets for the event, which later became know as the S.L.A,*s calling card. A letter, dated November 6, was sent by the S.L.A. to the San Francisco Chronicle in which they claimed responsibility for Foster's death and wamedt This attack is also to serve notice on the fascist Board of Education and its fascist supporters that The Court of the People have issued a death Warrant on All Members and Supporters of the Intermal wWar- fare Identification Computer System, This shoot-on- sight order will stay in effect until such tine as All political police are removed from our schools and all photos and other forms of identification are stopped. Death to the fascist insect that preys upon the life of the people, A little over two months later the two men who alleged- ly murdered Foster were apprehended tn a house near the S.L-4."s main headquarters in Concord. The itens found in that small house provided a graphic description of what the S.L.A. was all about: cartridge-belt cases, gas masks, and enpty ammunition boxes, in addition to hundreds of docu- ments including S.L.A. policies, plans for attacks, and TAPS. Among these various docunents was the plan which outlined Patty Hearst's kidnapping: “Patricia Hearst, on the night of the full moon of January 4th. Juntor art stu- dent, daughter of Hearst. Expose P, as a target xvhere by we attack the B. of A.” Although the date of the kidnapping was one zonth later {to the day) and the bank heid up was the Hibernia, not the Bunk of America, the S.L.A.'s intentions should have been clear to police. But this particular document was not read until well after Patty was kidaapped, This inexcusable bungling by the police was in a sense as much responsible for Patty's kidnapping as the action of the S.L.A. The be- lated discovery of the 5.L.A,'s kidnap plan did, however, help to dismiss the contentions of some who thousht that Patiy had connived at her own kidnapping fron The bank accounts of two S.b.A. members, Nancy Ling the beginning, x
