The following information was acquired by Source from Dan Watt editor of the New York-based eaiah cinta taiaea militant magazine Liberator , 2. Sen Francisco is one of the few cities’ in the United States whicet"™ the sncc leadership is fully integrated, i.e., including both Caucasians and Negroes at the effective leadership level. ad) 3. In this area SNCC is concentrating on developing a draft resistance -: campaign, with large demonstrations planned on this theme late this month '(Septembex 1967). Because the draft draws in larger measure on Negro inductees (Watts said most white draftees are usually more easily able to ‘- secure deferments on the basis of continuing their education), the campaign — ») WiLL be. primarily targetted at the black communities. oo, . . +h hk, A center of black militant activities in San. Francisco is the “More Store, 1413 Philmore Street, and an individual particularly active there is Bill Grey (or Gray). A Black Panther center of activities is at 953 Dehar Street. an D+ Activities in San Francisco are not generally geared toward civil” violence, but are more intellectual in nature, and seem to be concentrated . on seeking assistance from Holland and Sweden in arranging for "escape routes" for draft dodgers. and/or ‘deserters. . Assurances have already. apparently been received that such individuals would be accepted into France, provided that.they commit the "crime" of desertion in another country ; they would thus merely be seeking | asylum" in France. ty 6... SNC is presently negotiating with the Tanzanians for ‘the & establishment of an office in Dar-es-Salaam, which would be recognized by the OAU (Organization of African Unity) Liberation Committee (i.e., it would recognize SNCC on the same > basis as other African revolutionary "liberation" groups). ..- , >, (“SU6Ae ” Cota poste ta. oT fe Brg & n for ur Ad buLL Pad Geb.

The accep tance of nco-colonialist agents from Singapore, Soviet lackcys fron Ceylon and carefully chosen individuals from other countries testifies to the fact that this mooting was called for reasons other than _to consolidate Afro~Asian Solidarity: The ‘farce of this nevting was thorou-~ ‘ghly exposed when ‘individuals collected. from the Ginza wore described as: prepresentatives of the couragoous people of Japan.
