Panthers-still citizens
S. Mohan:  The.East in the West
I'll see you
There hasn't been anything like
the systematic raiding of Black
Panther headquarters since the
G-Men took on the gangsters In
the '30*. It's about time to ask
what's going on here'.
Two Panthers were killed recently in Chicago, bringing the
number of Panther dead In the
last two years to 28. Three more
were shot up In Los Angeles
Monday. Considering the lack of
effectiveness on the part of the
Panther movement it's a lot of
killing and wounding.
The Panthers talk revolution
and hoard guns. It Is not against
the law to own conventional guns,
however, and a lotofpeopleother
than Panthers have them. Attempts to limit gun-owning by
law are minimal, thanks to the
powerful gun lobbies.
There are better ways of controlling the tough guys In the
Panther ranks than wading In with
guns blazing. They can be arrested, If suitable cause exists,
on their headquarters.
In Los Angeles a total of 300
policemen cordoned off an area
15 blocks square and moved in
on 11 Panthers, three of them
women. It ls not surprising that
the Panthers looked over all
those troops and decided there
was  no  alternative  to  standing

Let's accept the idea that you
need life insurance... now. And
you'll need it more as the yean
goby.
One of the smartest things you
can do now is lo talk to your
College Life representative. Lei
him tell you about the BENEFACTOR; the life ii .urance policy that is individua \ tailored to
your specific needs.
You are J preferred risk—that
means your life insurance will
cost you less. You can benefit
from deferred deposits.

exclusively. That's why you
should get in touch with the
College Life representative;
ion't wait for him to call you.
their ground. Cornered people,
like cornered animals, are dan-
The Panthers are militant and
noisy but their numbers are small
and the scope of their actlvltlea
ls narrow. There Is more suspicion than proof about much of
the sniping and stealing of which
they are accused.
If a Panther ambushes a policeman he should be sought out
as If he were any other criminal.
But seeking a shoot-out on the
pretense of looking for a stolen
typewriter la a sticky business.
Panthers are not desirable citizens, but they are nevertheless
citizens, entitled to due process
of law. They are not getting it
from men who blaze away at anything that moves.
As usual, while I was drinking
coffee In the cafeteria, a blonde
who knew me casually stepped up
to me and smiled out an appreciation sounding like flattery,
•I really enjoyed your song last
night.*

devised Ignorance that helps people to get away from the realities
of life momentarily — life which
demands man, both old and young,
to go beyond a cup of coffee.
Looking a bit withered, a
