WASHINGTON (UPI)—An investigator for the House Internal Security Committee said Tuesday that as a member of the same race as the Black Panthers he found nothing more repressive in his lifetime than the Panther Party.
KC Panther party repudiated by black
Shaw, a police officer for 12 years in Columbus, Ohio, before joining the committee staff, was asked by Chairman Richard H. Ichord, D-Mo., how he reacted to threats from Black Panthers to kill police.
"Ive talked with Negro officers all over the country," Shaw replied. "They have more concern for exploiting of the Negro race by the Black Panthers than for themselves."
Richard Shaw, assigned by the committee to investigate Panther activities in Kansas City, Mo., also told a committee hearing the relatively small size of the party there—six or eight members—is not ignored by police.
"You're just as dead if one in six shoots you as if one in a thousand shoots you," said Shaw. Earlier testimony by Kansas City police officers reported an armed confrontation between Panther members and police that was resolved without shots being fired.
"As a member of the same race I have seen nothing in my lifetime that represents repression more than the Panthers. Fear of them prevails more than support of them," Shaw said.
Shaw also compiled arrest records of 40 persons whom he said were either members or associates of the Panthers at one time during 1969. He said there were 394 arrests in Kansas City among the 40 during the year, with 277 convictions resulting.
The single greatest offense was for disorderly conduct—82—while other dominant offenses among the 22 various charges were 50 arrests for robbery, 42 for larceny, 39 for burglary, 38 for aggrated assault, 21 for resisting arrest and 17 for concealed weapons.

Architecture school under evaluation
The School of Architecture and Urban Design is undergoing an accreditation visit by representatives from the National Architectural (Accrediting Board (NAAB) which will conclude today, a school representative said.
The representative said the accreditation visits normally occur every five years to evaluate curricula and facilities of collegiate schools of architecture. The KU School of Architecture was visited in 1967 but was given a two-year accreditation period to allow the accrediting agency to "keep abreast of changes in the school."
