Secret Service nabs Gregory's pamphlets
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Dick Gregory, the Negro comedian running for president, ran afoul of the Treasury Department because his campaign handbills look too much like dollar bills.
MAT. 2:30
EVE. 7:15-9:15
The Secret Service seized Gregory's presidential campaign pamphlets it was disclosed yesterday.
Spokesmen for the Secret Service confirmed that quantities of his campaign literature had been confiscated in Nashville, Tenn., and New York City. Complaints had been received that some of the money-sized tracts were showing up in automatic money-changing machines.
Angered by the move, Gregory protested that it was his picture instead of George Washington's on the dollar-sized tract and the scales of justice actually were his astrological sign. He is a Libra, his aides explained.
"There's no question in my mind that it has been seized because it is definitely dangerous to the machine," Gregory said.
EVE. 7:15-9:15
About a million and a half of the handbills had been distributed, Gregory's statement said, and "I expect each one of them to be negotiated as a vote on election day."
Gregory said his aides in Nashville would file suit in Federal Court to block the election on grounds that his right to distribute campaign literature had been infringed.
But he made clear he was not talking about a money-changing machine—rather political machines.
Gregory's campaign tracts are the shape and color of dollar bills with the picture of Gregory in the place of George Washington and a peace dove instead of the American eagle.
Inscribed on the two sides are slogans: "The Independents of America. In God We Hope, One man. One Vote," and "Take this opportunity to express your free choice. This country is redeemable."
