EARTH NEWS
A group of 16 lawyers, writers, professors and ex-politicians
called upon President Nixon and each member of Congress Friday
to grant amnesty to all citizens involved in offenses arising from
the Vietnam war.
The new amnesty organization claims among its membership
Ernest Gruening, the former senator of Alaska; Kenneth B. Clark,
the president of the American Psychological Association; and
psychoanalyst Erik Erikson. = :
In a petition sent to every senator and congressman, and to all
members of the Nixon Administration, the organization proposed
that all draft resisters and other Selective Service violators be
immediately pardoned. The group estimated that as many as
1100,000 teen-aged Americans have fled to Canada and Europe, to
oid being drafted into the Vietnam conflict—and reported that
Jere are 13,000 other young Americans who have been convicted of |
~ draft of (Ses or who are currently awaiting trial.
~The amnesty group also proposed that other Vietnam war
violators, including the likes of Lt. William Calley, be pardoned for
their wartime transgressions.
© A Sitement released by the organization said: “Surely a
republic which granted amnesty after the Civil War to soldiers who
fought in rebellion against it will want to do no less for these ren
whose offense has been only that they refused to fight in an un-
declared and unpopular war, thousands of miles from our shores.”
"A spokesman for the amnesty organization said it was hoped
the petition would stimulate a drive in Washington to begin
“healing the divisive effects of Vietnam.”
A young black man charged at a press conference in Los
Angeles that police officials there were involved in a nation-wide
plot “to get’’ the Black Panthers, that police knew long ahead of
time about an escape plot from San Quentin by George Jackson,
and that members of Southern California police departments were
actualfy planning to detonate a bomb in San Diego during next
vear’s’ Republican convention so that martial law would be
declared in that city.
The dramatic charges were voiced by Louis Tackwood—a man
who insisted that he has worked as an undercover informer and
prov eur for the Los Angeles Police Department since 1962. Mr.
Tackwood made his statements during a lenghty press conference
sponsored and aired by station KPFK-FM, the Pacifica station in
Los Angeles.
During the two-hour statement and question-and-answer
period, Mr. Tackwood insisted he had been instructed by the police
department’s criminal conspiracy section —called the ““‘CCS”’—to
infiltrate the Panther movement, and other black militant
organizations. He said that, at times, he worked with the FBI, and
"that he had been told of a national police conspiracy to destroy the
_ Panther Party through murders, intimidation and kidnappings.
He insisted that police department officials had told him of
0 their knowledge about an escape plan being hatched by Soledad
Brother George Jackson at San Quentin, and that he had been in-
pe formed ahead of time that Mr. Jackson would not live to stand trial.
In one of the more sensational elements of the conference, Mr.
a Tack ®od said that Los Angeles police knew of the Marin County
kidnap plot by Jonathan Jackson last year before it occurred; he
© stopped short of giving any details in the alleged conspiracy, saying
© that the matter ‘was under litigation.”’ He said that he had for-
warded details of his knowledge to Angela Davis’ defense com-
mittee. s
Mr. Tackwood said that he had also learned about plans of Los
Angeles police officers to set off a bomb in the convention center
during next year’s Republican convention in San Diego. He said the
bombing would be timed to set off a chain reaction of fear, and
would enable police to set up a state of martial law in the city.
Mr. Tackwood had little specific proof with which to back up
his allegations. However, he did provide reporters with the names
of several police officers with whom he said he had contact—and
even played a tape recording of a telephone conversation between
himself and a man he identified as a Los Angeles police contact
“Larry Brown.”
Mr. Tackwood said he made a deal with police officials to work
for them after being arrested for car theft in 1962. He added,
however, that he finally decided to tell his story to the press and to
break his relations with the force after becoming disenchanted with
his career of duplicity and murder.
The Los Angeles Police Department told Earth News that it
could not comment on any of Mr. Tackwood’s charges.until it could
review a complete transcript of the press conference. However,
Police Chief Ed Davis said that his office had learned that *‘a
Bolshevik had been working for two weeks’ within the department
to fabricate a story involving ‘‘the police department and the
President of the United States.” Chief Davis went on to say that he
was to hear that Los Angeles reporters are listening to ‘‘such
charges.” Chief Davis added that he believed such stories would
appear only in “‘Pravda”—the Russian newspaper. He declined to
elaborate.

past several years, as witnessed
by the increased number of

conferences. At the most recent
school board meeting, 11 such
requests were considered and
approved by the school direc-
