I feel it is necessary at this point to offer my own observations. It seems justifiable since SDS has persisted in attacking Yippie demonstrations and individuals associated with it for the past year and we have held back our toughest criticism. Lately SDS has been sending out members of their national office to do battle with us and at a very awkward moment in history when we face an extremely vicious attack by the power structure. "First some points arein order: "(1) SDS failed to support the March on the Pentagon and only after long months of criticism decided to participate in the Battle of Chicago. There is still doubt whether or not they actually supported this action even though it led directly to the mushrooming of SDS chapters around the country. "(2) SDS at their recent national council meeting in Texas held days after the Chicago Conspiracy indictments failed to support us. Support which we could use since the national office with its printing facilities is in Chicago. "(3) SDS's national office has for eight months been telling about how they are the 'vanguard of the white revolution’ and under heavy attack by the government. I know of no national officer who is in any trouble with the power establishment. Meanwhile back on the streets the members of the Conspiracy, seven (white) members of which national SDS disapproves of aniconsiders counter-revolutionary, are each facing between 10-30 years in prison on a variety of federal, state and city charges. ;_ ‘20 Ste RE pee seen 7 : =?
