Manson wanted revolution
LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Friends of Charles Manson, leader of the hippie "family" linked to the Sharon Tate murders, say he spoke of a killing spree, using dune buggies mounted with machine guns, to trigger fighting between blacks and whites.
This was part of the portrait that emerged Sunday of the man who, according to one of his followers, ordered the Tate deaths and the carving-fork slayings of a wealthy supermarket owner and his wife the same weekend. The cult, also described as a "haem," is under suspicion in four other deaths.
Manson's hippie friends, most of whom declined to be bientl-
fied, said the 35-year-old man began to talk of a "revolution" about eight months ago.
"He said he was building a bunch of dune buggies, stripped automobiles modified for desert travel. He said he was going to mount machine guns on them," they recalled.
"He said he'd take his army of dune buggies and kill every white mother—every white pig—between here and the desert."
He then planned to take his followers to Death Valley and "sit back and watch the revolution," they said.
"You see, he hated the establishment. It wasn't that he felt it owed him anything. He just didn't belong.
"He had strong antiblack feelings. They came from those years he spent in the penitentiary, I think," one of the hippies recalled.
His friends weren't clear on exactly how Manson planned to blame blacks for the killings, but the bloody scrawllings of variations of the word "pig" at the scene of the Tate killings and two other murder sites was believed to be an attempt to point a finger at black militants.
Manson, 35, is in jail in Independence, Calif., on charges of possession of stolen dune buggies.
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office will resume presenting witnesses to the
county grand jury Monday. It plans to ask for conspiracy and murder indictments against seven persons, including Manson.
According to friends, Manson had a powerful hold over his followers, many of whom were women.
A 30-year-old author, who lives in the Topanga Canyon hippie community, said, "He was the only cat I'd ever seen with a harem. He had total control over them."
Another hippie said, "Word had it he was one hell of a good lover, and that was part of it, I guess. But it was those eyes too, and that heavy line he put on them. He was a real powerful man."
Speakers discuss black problems

white, brown or black how to be human beings. Education must be controlled by those who believe in the humanity of the oppressed people. Going to school as it is now means only the perpetration of the racist system," he said.
If the system is to respond to the needs of the blacks, he said, it must be changed in a way that only black people could articulate. He added that the system had to be used as an informational corrective in that it corrected the distortions that history had made.
"Moreover," Henry continued, "it should be a discipline taken in relation to other disciplines, the only difference being that comparative analysis will be made. Most important, black studies must be pursued with relation to other perspectives. In other words, you must ask, what are the analytical systems in the University that can be used to change the condition of the black people?"
Henry was emphatic in his belief that the change in American educational institutions would require a struggle of some kind. He said that sometimes the struggle is moral, and sometimes its both moral and physical. But there must be a struggle.
Brown faced a struggle of his own before his KU appearance. He had to receive permission from a Hartford County, Maryland, court to make the trip to Lawrence. He is scheduled to stand trial there next month on charges of inciting to riot during a disturbance in Cambridge, Md., in July, 1967.
President gets action

—a task already accomplished by the House—and pass appropriations to operate the District of Columbia and pay for construction of military facilities around the world.
There's also a possibility the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will send to the floor for action this week the foreign aid authorization, which theoretically must be enforced before the foreign aid appropriation can be dealt with.
Leaders plan to get around this obstacle by persuading the House to adopt parliamentary ground rules that will permit waiving the requirement this time.
Never have so many money measures been so late in getting to a chief executive. Nixon has complained several times that the government can't very well prepare the budget for the fiscal year starting July 1 when it doesn't yet know what Congress will do to the budget for the current fiscal year.

Brown warned the audience of increasing oppression being directed towards blacks, American youth and the press. Quoting the late Huey Long of Louisiana, Brown said, "If fascism comes to America, it will come on a program of Americanism."
"Censorship and fascism are what Agnew is calling for in his speeches. This fascism is something which the blacks have known for a long time but which the networks and the whites are just learning about," he said.
"Agnew won a victory because the reaction after his second speech, the speech attacking the New York Times and Washington Post, was much less critical than after his attack on the networks the week before. The networks realized they had to go to this cat to get their licenses renewed just as the blacks have had to go to the whites to get anything throughout history," he said.
The common plight of some whites and blacks did not necessarily make the two allies, Brown said. The whites hadn't proved their usefulness as allies, but those sympathetic to the black could do one thing. "All I ask
white folks to do is to make other white folks human," he said.
Brown said that black people have to understand that "we are fighting for our lives." He said the man is very serious about exterminating blacks.
In the Vietnamese War, Brown said, casualties among blacks equal 47 per cent of the total and that was no accident. Second, he said that people on welfare were told to take birth control pills or lose their welfare checks. Birth control, he said, is an individual thing and becomes genocide on that level.
Five hundred children die in Alabama each year from hunger and malnutrition, that too is genocide, he said.
"Check the history of the American Indian and total genocide. He romanticized it by putting it on television and as a tribute to the Indians' dignity, he put his head on a nickel."
Brown said, "You check what he is doing in Vietnam. He tells you that he is there to stop Communist aggression, but if you examine the history, you will find out he didn't ever move to stop Communist aggression in
white Communist countries using napalm and anti-personal bombs. You know what he uses in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia? He uses Radio Free Europe."
He said that blacks are potential weapons against each other. He used fraternities and sororities as an example of motivations for disunity. He said, "The only person I know that pledged Greek and got anything from it was Jackie Kennedy."
Benjamin, whose speech was cut short after an hour of talking, said white Americans suffer from moral schizophrenia.
"Whites are victims of their own lies compounded by what academic circles teach. They suffer from the discrepancies in what they preach and what they practice. There has been rhetoric about democracy but never real democracy in the United States," he said.
Benjamin said the picture whites painted of both themselves and blacks was incorrect, Addressing the whites in the crowd, he said, "I am not what you have been told, and you are not what you have been told."

Frizzell doubts validity of fees

were thrown out, the legislature would probably place a constitutional amendment before the voters in the 1970 general election.
Such an amendment could not take effect until after it was ratified by the voters, however.
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary of the University, said the practice of charging fees at state colleges and universities was accepted in most states and had been in use in Kansas for several years.
Keith Nitcher, vice chancellor for finance, indicated that the legislature would probably make emergency provisions for financing state schools if fees were held invalid.
