THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY has established ties with
"foreign revolutionary groups such as Al Fatah," the Palestinian
guerrillas, according to a House committee investigator.
A study of the Panther's official newspaper indicates the party's
ties with Al Fatah "have gone beyond the talking stage," investi-
gator Stewart Pott told a subcommittee of the House Committee on
Internal Security.
A most important recent trend, according to Pott, is that
the Panthers "are'reaching out more and more for support and
assistance to anti-U.S. forces overseas."
KNOCKING $2 BILLION out of the Pentagon's annual
money bill, the House Appropriations Committee approved
$66.7 billion yesterday and said the country has every right to
expect "formidable military forces" for that.
It approved all $1.1 billion authorized for the Safeguard anti-
missile system and an extra $415 million for Navy ships but trimmed
$1.5 billion off development and purchase of other military weapons
systems.t
It approved all $358 million asked by the administration to boost
the combat readiness of South Vietnam forces.
House action on the billl, trimmed from President Nixon's re-j
quest for $68.7 billion, is scheduled to start Thursday morning and
a vote is expected before the end of the week.
Criticizing Pentagon money management for the second year{
running, the committee said "the critical times ahead" require the
Defense Department to tighten its operations.r
FOREIGN MINISTER MAHMOUD RIAD of Egypt expressed
willingness yesterday to extend the Middle East cease-fire by 90
days after it expires Nov. 5 but he ruled out any withdrawal of
missiles from the Suez Canal truce zone as the United States
and Israel demand.
At the same time, Egypt's ruling political party declared that
the struggle against Israel "must be escalated in all fields" and called
for a strengthening of relations with the Soviet Union. The party,
the Arab Socialist Union founded by Gamal Abdel Nasser, met
in Cairo to ratify Anwar Sadat as Nasser's successor as president.
In New York, the United States told the other three big powers
at the United Nations it is pointless to talk about guidelines for a
Middle East peace until Egypt pulls back the anti-aircraft missiles.
But Riad, talking on television in Cairo, declared the missiles were
placed in the canal zone before the cease-fire went into effect
Aug. 7 and that none would be withdrawn.

In Bolivia
LA PAZ, Bolivia (1?) - Civil war broke out between leftist
and rightist military forces yesterday in Bolivia where Latin
America's master insurrectionist, Ernesto "Che" Guevara, was
slain three years ago.
Leftists bombed the presidential palace and raked armed
forces headquarters with machinegun fire. The battle was
triggered by the resignation of leftist President Alfredo Ovan-
do Candia.
The air force, supporting leftist Gen. Juan Jose Torres,
launched six planes in a 15-minute attack on the presidential
palace, and the small military,

BAM hits
high school
officials
Black Action Movement (BAM)
issued a statement Monday night
sharply attacking the administra-
tion of Ann Arbor's Pioneer High
School for its alleged failure-to
implement demands made by
black students at the school for
increased hiring of black faculty.,
Two years ago, the statement
says, black students at the school
first presented the demands, and
last year, it continues, the school's
principal committed himself to
their implementation.
But, the statement claims, "to
date, the principal has failed
to implement the demands, but in-
stead summoned heavily armed
police to stifle and intimidate the
students who were gathered in
peaceful assembly." This refers to
events leading up to the disrup-
tion which occurred at the school
last Tuesday, in which classes were
dismissed early and some parts of
the school were damaged b'y black
students.
BAM, the statement concludes,
"strongly supports the Pioneer
High School students in their just
demands for securing quality and
relevant education."
WASHINGTON (A)-Rest easy.
taxpayer, your federal Filbert
Control Board is hard at work.
In these times of emphasis on
law and order, the nuts must be
controlled. And filberts are nuts.
So - you have a Filbert Con-
trol Board.
The board ; has a part-time
manager, a secretary a n d nine
members who, in the words of
one government official "meet
when they need to."
The Filbert Control Board's
budget for this fiscal year is es-
timated at $25,339. The govern-
ment says they expect this ex-
pense to be covered by an as-
sessment rate of two-tenthsbof a
cent per pound of assessable fil-
berts, according to a notice pub-
lished in the Federal Register last
weekend.
Assessable filberts are defined
as those with shells.
The board isn't much worried
about filberts without shells. Most
of them come from Turkey.
American filberts - mostly as-
sessable - come from Washing-
ton and Oregon, which produce
about 8,000 pounds of them year-
ly.
"We try to allocate the supply
to meet the domestic demand for
use of filberts in bags of mixed
nuts," s a y s George Eastman,
specialty corps branch chief at the
Department of Agriculture.
The price of filberts, Eastman
says, is about 55 cents a pound.
And the board, made up of
growers and processors who are
reimbursed for expenses but no
salary, works in Portland, Ore., to
keep prices constant. That is what
the Filbert Control Board does.
Eastman has a little difficulty
explaining exactly what a filbert
is.
"Well, they're brown and kind
of round," he begins. ". . . They-
're a little meatier than almonds.
They're closer to peacans, b u t
still not exactly like pecans. I'd
say filberts have a little sturdier
taste than almonds or pecans and,
oh, I'm a little at a loss for words
right now."
But he h a s no difficulty ex-

general of Maryland
and head of the National Association of Attorneys
General, testified that instructions on how to am-
bush police officers printed in a Black Panther
newspaper were almost identical in detail to an
actual attack in Baltimore in which one policeman
was killed and one wounded.
O'Brien said there has been a 100 per cent rise
in the number of police killings in California in
1970, with 15 law officers murdered in the first
7% months of the year.
Assault on police have increased 350 per cent
from 1967 when there were 362 prosecutions for
such attacks of 1969 when there were 1,215 such
cases.
O'Brien said the political coloring of terrorisms
has changed from the far right in the early 1960s
to the far left presently.
"While . much of this problem is politically
motivated I should note that there are indications
that violence against police is also a result of an
increasingly violent atmosphere, and growing dis-
respect for life which seems to affect our nation,"
O'Brien said.
He said the violence and the resulting public
terror is intended to provoke repression as the
seed bed for successful revolution.
As an example, he said attacks have spread
from the police to firemen who he said some
California militants now call "firepigs."
