In this he was aided artist flown out by a from the Department of Justice in Washington. Alameda County sheriff Jim Madigan termed the sandbagging of his deputies the sickest operation I have ever seen. Two weeks after the charges were made, the home of Cliff Harbaugh in suburban Pleasanton was firebombed. Mr. Harbaugh was in charge of the defense fund, gathering money for the legal defense of the deputies. But this incident caused no Liberal everything deoutcry pends upon whose civil rights are alleged to have been violated. The federal government, we may recall, also sent a team to Chicago to investigate whether the police there had been beastly to Communist Black Panther leader Fred Hampton while he was trying to kill investigating officers. Deputy Attorney General Richard Kleindienst (a Nixon conservative, incidentally), stated that I dont regard the Black Panthers as a menace to the internal security of the United States. And anyway, he might as well have added, theres the matter of national priorities. The Department of Justice is out there fighting crime in the form of parents objecting to forced school busing. Some of the other ways in which the federal government gets into the act are interesting, if more subtle. But one method which recently received an awkward amount of publicity concerned the Office of Economic Opportunity's legal aid program. Joseph Renner, head of the program in the San Gabriel Valley area of California since 1966, resigned in disgust on February first. Ashe explained: I have been told that my attorneys salaries were cut because we had not filed a single police brutality suit or school segregation suit . . . . was told to go out and find clients with complaints against the police. Now, how many men on the O.E.O. payroll have the integrity to protest and how many will do such orders as theyre told, in order to keep their plush jobs?

While he declared the bombings quite probably indicate a revolutionary rather than a criminal intent, he saw no evidence of a national conspiracy, and said it's up to the F.B.I. to REPORT! BOMBING OUR POLICE bagpipes intoned an Irish funeral march and the uniformed men d stood stiffly at attention as the casket ofSgt. Brian McDonnell was carried from the church So the latest victim of the Revolution was buried in the San Francisco Bay Area. Sergeant McDonnell, the third member of his family to be killed in the line of police duty, had on February sixteenth had a piece of shrapnel driven through his eye and brain by a terrorist bomb. Eight other officers were wounded in that attack on a police station in the notorious Haight-Ashbur- y district, where revolutionists hide and multiply among the mass of uprooted and demoralized youths who cluster there. Only a few days before, two similar bombs planted among the parked cars outside the Berkeley police station left a reserve police officer, Paul Morgan, in "fair condition,' his arm nearly cut off by Hying metal. These are but a few recent examples of an organized, advertised campaign by Communist terrorists to shatter the morale of Bay Area police, and thus to reduce resistance to the Revolution. on A week after the bomb-attaccue from William Kunstler, defense attorney for the Chicago Seven human sea Berkeley endured a attack as the mindless troops called students spilled from the festering campus of the University of California. They demonstrated the fruits of the The flag-drape- non-nation- non-conspira- cy - ar of the nation! The fury of the struggle has also Bomb Capital made it the Crime Capital of the nation, with the highest overall crime rate for cities of any size. In response to the latest bomb outrages, Governor Ronald Reagan wrote to Attorney General John Mitchell in Washington, to see asking him to do something whether perhaps somebody crossed a state line in the course of his revolu- worlds most expensive education by smashing at least S200.000 worth of - mostly uninsured, since property previous displays of erudition from such Berkeley freaks have made local property uninsurable! But thats all part of the overall plan. The tactic being worked on the Bay Area police is the old, proven one of pressure from above, pressure from While the "pressure from below. below, in the form of criminal and terrorist assaults, is the more spectacular, the pressure from above serves as a kind of vise, to clamp the victim in a fixed and helpless position. repeated al tionary terrorists break dozens of old laws every day, without bringing much hardship upon themselves. Under the Supreme Courts ground rules, its extremely difficult to convict anyone even with the best will of anything in the world. And the best will in the world is not always found among politicians responsive to the Leftist media moguls and the moneybags who can make or break them. Meanwhile, in San Francisco, police Captain Charles Barca commented wearily that the bombs are getting more refined and these people are getting better equipped.

It is impossible to conceal the reason for the increase in Bay Area crime; at a convention of the League of California Cities last September, speakers included many police and other officials who could hardly stand up there and say that militants and demonstrators were not responsible for it. Sergeant Stan White of the Oakland Christensen's Family Storage Supply police intelligence unit stated that the militant or revolutionary threat will continue, supported by many leftist individuals and organizations, and he referred specifically to the varied drives of the Communist Black Panthers. But of course there was no hint of any improvement in the situation of paralysis clamped upon by Liberal insistence that Leftists must be permitted to make as much trouble as they possibly can. A San Francisco police intelligence officer noted that, as in the case of the uproars at San Francisco State College, when you must use all available personnel in your department for months on end to ensure that a college campus will not close down, then without doubt some sections of the population will not have the proper He meant, of police protection. d course, that the rule that demonstrations must be allowed to go on endlessly, with masses of police detailed to watch them, means that other parts of the city will be stripped of police protection, leaving the citizens prey to increased criminal activity. But Berkeley city manager William C.

Counties and municipalities are to be phased out, replaced by metro and regional governmental units. Already a considerable amount of federal aid is tied to the requirement that it may be granted only to some newly-formeapproved regional body as prescribed in the federal Omnibus Police Control Act.
