The dispatch reflects that two United States Army deserters who were Stationed in Germany arrived in Cophenhagen that date and asked for political asylum. The deserters "were accompanied to Copenhagen from Paris by American lawyer Mark Lane, They had been ordered to Vietnam." The "New York Times" newsnaper, issue of July 6, 1966, page 42, contained an advertisement which noted that » Pag 3 Mark Lane's book "Rush to Judgement", would appear on the 3 £ ’ PI market August 15, 1966, published by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, Incorporated, New York City. The July 13, 1966, issue of "Variety", a theatrical newspaper, page 2, noted that amotion picture film based on Lane's hook and also entitled "Rush to Judgement" would . be released in the near future. The film would also set forth Lane's version of the circumstances Surrounding the death of President Kennedy. It was noted that Lane had long held that Lee Harvey Oswald had not been the lone killer of President Kennedy, but other versons had been involved in the assassination.

Mark: The authorities told me that all the prisoners are out of their cells all day.

Also every prisoner ts subject io a complete strip searca at any time atthe whim end caprice of anv of the guards. Thet tends to rob a man not only of kis time while he is out of the cell, but more import- antly of his dignity. Mark: What is the size of your cell?

There is no compensation for most of the work but a few of the jods pay from two cents an hour to ten cents an hour. You can only earn ten cents an hour after about five years of loyal service. Mark: What is the nature of the work? Does the end product enter into the flow of commerce? Huey: Yes it does. That's just the point.

It differs very little from the sys- tem used usvtieeSouth where tn- mates are “farmed out” to grow ers. In those instences the grow ers compensate the state. Most civilized people agree that that system is avhorrent. Yet the Calif- ornia method is to employ the re. verse system. The convicts are not furmed: out: the work ts farmed in.

Again they use the racial split. As long as there ts a racial fight it ts not directed at the euthorities. The authorities emerge aitove the tattle. They enjoy the role of the referee.

Some men have been intimid- ated. Others, thourh, have not. A record is kept tn thetr bermanent file—in the jecket that &ces to the Adult Authority every year. They blace little terns in there such as “He is Huey Newton's hodyguard” or “Me is an organizer. for -the Bleck Panthers.” Mark: How do you know what ‘is placed in the files? Huey: The inmates control the prison as far as clericai work and running the plant is concerned. They run everything but the aa- ministration — of ‘tHe—~ing litution and, of course. security. «ls a re- sult we have full aecess to the files. Mark: Did you confront Topper with that information? . Huey: Surely. I felt that there was an evident contradiction. Here he told the other prisoners not to as- sociate with me: he sought to in- ttrudate them, and at the same time the same counselor, along with the prozram superintendent, toid me that i should join the “program” so that Icould have more time to spend with my friends. I told them that it was hypocritical of them to take one position to my fece and ancth- er behind my back. Topper said that he wanted to prevent me from “spreading poison” to the other inmates.

Huey: Yes, they did. I had been sentenced to the hole for a little verbai altercation with a police of- ficer. I had said that the officer was a kebitual tiar. He called me a son of a bitch, and I resnonded by calling kim a_ mother-fucker, vhich seemed to upset him a bit. I. went to the hole for 18 days for that. The Authority asked me if I felt good abcutesiksig the officer a motherfucker. I told them that it did make me feel better after he had called me a son of a bitch.

Did you like the hole?” lexplained that I did like the hole hetier-thun the other ac- commedations, Then they wanted to know if Hthousht that lwas normal. I asked them to define the term; they felt somewhat challenged by the maquest, but were unable to of- fer @ satisfactory definition.

Mark: How co you feel about being isolated from the rest of the pris- oners? Huey: There are, of course, a few adventages to being in the main population. J couid better organize there. However, there ts a point being made by my beinz locked up ina cell. It integrates the theory and the practice. If the inmates here got the message they could close the whole institution down by doing nothing, by going on strike. Doing nothing is doing something in @ situation where you constitute the majority. if the racial conflict can be selved and consciousness can be gained that it is not to their edvantage to carry on racial strug- &les but to unite against the guards and the edministration they could stop the prison from ‘functioning. They could win any recsonable demand, for the-prisén cennot run without the clerical work and the industries, both of which are car- nied on by the inmates.

Fiuey: One of the first matters that lam going to attend to wken 1 gct cul ig the bus program. We will purchese a bus and take the par- ents of the prisoners and other rel- alives to the prisons.
