U The estimated 2,000 copies of the BPP newspaper sold during 12/72 represents no change from the number of papers sold during 11/72. This total fs highly unsatisfactory as far as the Party is concerned because the figure in the area of 2,000 means that the Chapter is not meeting its most basic expenses, The Panthers continue their policy of traveling through various cities throughout the State of North Carolina ¥) to sell their papers. : Sources report that LARRY LITTLE, as head of the BPP Chapter, was given a check for $7,000 from the insurance company of JOSEPH E. WADDELL, BPP member who died in Central Prison, Raleigh, N. C., several months ago. WADDELL named the Winston- Salem BPP Chapter as beneficiary of a $7,000 insurance policy on himself. Apparently some of this money went for the 12/17/72 BPP sponsored Survival Day Rally held at Winston-Salem, N. C., as sources reported that the Party had on hand $2,600 in cash for the rally. The money left over from the $7,000 remains in LITTLE’s possession and sources report that LITTLE has been driving a new automobile during the past several weeks. ' During the 12/72 Survival Day Rally, the Panthers gave away almost everything they had and were said to be broke again and in dire need of funds.
