Brandeis Explodes 'Press Myth' on Guerrilla Warfare
WALTHAM, Mass.—Reports that "Riot Data Review," the publica- in "traditional disorders." The re-
racial violence in the United States tion which late last summer pre- searchers said the 70 per cent fig-
is taking a new form of conspira-
torial guerrilla warfare, featuring
sniper attacks on police, appear to
be a largely a myth of the news
media, according to Brandeis
University's Lemberg Center for
the Study of Violence.
The center's latest r e p o r t
charges the press with "construct-
ing a scenario on armed upris-
ings." Although there have been a
few shoot-outs with the police,
some of which may have been
planned, "no new wave of upris-
ings and no set pattern of mur-
derous conflict have developed—
at least not yet."
The center's Riot Data Clearing-
house (RDC), in a study of alleged
guerrilla-sniper incidents reported
during July-August 1968, said in a
summary of findings:
"The overwhelming number of
disorders surveyed failed to display
conclusive evidence of a new type
of racial violence based on con-
spiracy and guerrilla tactics."
The RDC's study and findings
are published in the third issue of
dicted "that schools everywhere,
both at the college and pre-college
level, will be the sites of disorders
when they reopen in the fall."
RDC researchers also said they
found discrepancies in initial ver-
sus later reports concerning the
amount of sniping..

downward revision of early snip-
ing figures, particblarly where the
ure was consistent with the per-
centage of known precipitating in-
cidents identified in past disorders.
The report leveled especially
heavy criticism at the national
press, charging that it overreacted.
"Few of the nationally known
newspapers and magazines at-
tempted to verify sniping reports
coming out of the cities; few were
willing to undertake independent
investigations of their own; and
far too many were overly zealous
in their reports of a 'trend' based
