Groups want prisoners freed
Demonstrators will demand Puerto Rico's independence from the United States and freedom for all self-professed "prisoners of war" Saturday.
"We demand the awakening of the American people who hardly get any news from Puerto Rico to the Puerto Rican's against counterattack. Neguese is a member of Latin American Solidarity, said yesterday."
The demonstration will begin at noon at the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, where one of 11 Puerto Rican "prisoners of war," Oscar Lopez, is serving his sentence for seditious conspiracy.
"There are strong unifying forces of

independence which are a growing daily," Neugebauer said. "It's the Puerto Rican's war against Colonialism to get the Americans off their backs."
Since their arrest, the 11 prisoners have claimed they are freedom fighters in the war to free Puerto Rico. They refused to participate in their trials and demanded to be treated according to the Geneva Conventions of Prisoners of
War and tried by an international tribunal.
The United States denied their request.
"The American people believe colonialism is wrong and that it saps the colonial people of energy, intellect or national identity," Neugebauer said.
The demonstration is sponsored by the National Committee to Free Puerto Rican Prisoners of War, the National Committee Against Repression, the National Committee Against Diversity with Puerto Rican Independence and Socialism, as well as LAS.

TOPEKA—Four Democratic Wichita-area senators have banded congressional redistricting map drawn by two Wichita Republicans.
Wichita Democrats fight redistricting
The map is among three being considered by both the House and Senate Apportionment panels. State Sens. Norma Daniels, Paul McGraw and Jim Fowler, and McCray, all Democrats from Sedgwick County, said Sedgwick County residents wanted to be in one district.
The plan proposed by State Rep. Neal Whitaker and State Sen. Paul Hess, both Republicans from Indiana, brought the first, fourth and fifth districts.
In a joint statement issued yesterday, the Democrats said Whitaker and Hess appeared to be trying to justify the continued division of Wyandotte County, now in the second and third districts.
'One justification for this tortured map is the alleged need to keep Marion and McPherson counties in the Fourth Congressional District because they somehow share a 'community of interest' with
Sedgwick County," the four said. "That may be true, but how can these two counties, which are completely separated from Sedgwick County by Reno and Harvey counties, be said to share a more important 'community of interest' than our local citizens?"
The four democrats said a map could be drawn up without splitting a county.
Senate Minority Leader Jack Steineger, D-Kansas has a map he has not yet made public that would not cut county lines. It would, however, shift several counties from districts they currently are in.
