Dick Gregory ends protest
CHICAGO—(UPI)—Entertainer Dick Gregory recently ate what he said was the first solid food he had taken since the start, on Thanksgiving day, of a 40-day fast in sympathy with the suffering on both sides of the war in Vietnam.
Gregory's fast officially ended New Year's day. He said he had been on a liquid diet from Jan. 1 until Tuesday in preparation for eating solid food.
Brown scuffles with police, flees to Cuban UN mission
NEW YORK—(UPI)—H. Rap Brown, bellicose chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), took refuge inside the Cuban mission to the United Nations today following a scuffle with one of two policemen guarding the building.
Police at first sent additional officers to the five-story gray brick building. But they were withdrawn later and officials said Brown and a companion would be served with a magistrates court summons for allegedly harrassing a police officer. "There's no hurry," one policeman said.
There was no indication when the 23-year-old Negro militant would emerge. The Cuban mission was mum. Brown, contacted by telephone, told newsmen he had "nothing to say." He refused to say how long he would maintain asylum there.
The Cuban mission is considered foreign territory. Police may not enter the building without permission.
Brown is under indictment on charges of inciting a riot in Maryland last July. He was also arrested last year on charges of carrying a weapon from one state to another while under the indictment.
Apparently no one was injured in the incident. A lawyer visited Brown at the building and said merely that the black power advocate was enjoying the "hospitality of the mission."
Would not come out
The incident — described by police as a pushing match—occurred about 4:30 p.m. as Brown and a companion, SNCC staff worker Bob Smith were leaving the mission. Spokesmen for Brown said Smith and the SNCC leader, wearing a green sweater and cap, had been to the mission at the invitation of the Cubans. A spokesman for the mission said later Brown and Smith were invited for an "interview."
Two incidents occurred
Capt. William Lakeman of the 4th Police Division said two shoving incidents occurred, both involving partolman Michael Gleason, one of the two policemen assigned to guard the building.
Lakeman said the trouble started in the vestibule when Smith
allegedly shoved Gleason. They moved to the street where, Lakeman said, Brown asked Smith if he had been shoved by Gleason and then pushed the policeman himself.
Brown or Smith pushed the doorbell of the mission and were let back in, Lakeman said.
SNCC later gave a somewhat different version of the incident. In a telegram to Mayor John V. Lindsay, SNCC Executive Secretary Stanley Wise charged:
"This is but another instance of the New York City police acting as violators of the law instead of upholding the law. This is but another instance of New York City police brutalizing blacks without provocation, without reason, but with racist attitudes."
