.._ LAWRENCE L. LIPTON, 2311 Oakwood Avenue, Venice, '1 was interviewed at his residence and furnished the following _ informationé T LIPTON related that approximately a week before the Democratic National Convention held in Chicago, Illinois, $13 he had telephonically contacted ABBOTT HOFFMAN, a member of 92 the Yippies, concerning the plans which the Yippies had scheduled for occurring at the Democratic National Convention. d He advised this telephone conversation had been taped by him uirt- O and was reported verbatim in his article appearing in the Los Angeles Free Press captioned, "Yippies to Visit Hog Capital." LIPTON related, "The Yippies who came to Chicago came to ridicule, befuddle, and in short, to drive the ti authorities nuts. The Yippies consider this to be the number one element of revolution which is as old as the holy fools of Christianity." LIPTON added the "ho1y fools" std of Christianity fooled the Roman soldiers by their crazy in actions and antics, as the Yippies are fooling those persons -...--...aé».a in positions of authority today. He cited a recent example - of this by recalling JERRY RUBIN, a member of the Yippies, when appearing before a recent investigating committee, dressed himself in a Santa Claus suit. LIPTON commented -_-- that individuals such as JERRY RUBIN, ABBIE HOFFMAN, and PAUL KRASSNER are all anarchists who dislike authority and "the establishment." LIPTON added that he was sure that if HOFFMAN was tried, he would admit to any charges which might be brought against him plus admitting to other things. LIPTON was of the opinion that HOFFMAN was open in all his involvement and would not attempt to hide anything. 1 LIPTON was asked if the Yippies who came to Chicago came for the purpose of creating civil disobedience. He related that some or the individuals intended to create civil disobedience, but those persons connected with "the establishment" failed to try to understand that, to the Yippies, their movement is a religious movement and action

o "" -1 in the streets is equivalent to High Mass in the Catholic I I _JI'- Church. LIPTON stated the best way to defeat organizations such as the Yippies is for persons connected with the establishment to have a sense of humor and be able to laugh at the crazy antics of the Yippies rather than consider the Yippies as a threat, but the "one thing that 92-1 the establishment cannot stand is ridicule and laughter."

LIPTON was also asked the question concerning '92~'f rg the reason for the self-defense workshop scheduled by the Yippies at the Democratic National Convention. He related that "Right wing organizations had threatened to beat up persons participating in the demonstrations at the convention and the reason for the training was to defend themselves from right wing vigilante groups." He went on to state that the security of the United States was more in Jeopardy from the ! elements in the right wing than it was from the left.

--Z-. Mr. LIPTON stated that his telephone conversation with ABBIE HOFFMAN was recorded by himself and the article which he wrote for the "Los Angeles Free Press" contains all the conversation between himself and ABBIE HOFFMAN. He --mi.-q. related the tape containing this conversation was retained by him and he would make it available if anyone so desired.

During the course of interview, it was ascertained that LIPTON has authored more than 22 mystery and other .- novels, in addition to being a free-lance author. He advised he had written articles for numerous magazines including "Cavalier", "Knight", and the newspaper, "TheLos Angeles Free Press. He related he had recently written an article concerning the Democratic National Convention for the "Cavalier ti magazine. . 1 .

LAWRENCE L. LIPTON, 2311 Oakwood, Venice, California, telephone number EX 9-82H5, was interviewed at his residence, at which time he furnished the following information:

Mr. LIPTON was asked if he would provide the tape recording concerning his telephonic interview of ABBOTT < HOFFMAN immediately preceding the Democratic National Gen= vcntion which he used to write his article in the Los Angeles Free Press captioned "Yippies to Visit Hog Capitol". Mr. LIPTON was agreeable to provide a copy of this tape. Utilizing a card index, LIPTON located the reel which con- tained the telephone interview of HOFFMAN along with numerous other interviews. In the presence of interviewing agents, LIPTON attempted to locate-that part of the tape recording reel containing the interview of HOFFMAN. Mr. LIPTON could R not locate that part of the reel containing the interview and surmised that it had been inadvertently erased by a /ls subsequent interview. SAP observed the container from which the U reel had been emoved. The label on this container reflected a notation,"Intcrview of ABBOTT HOFFMAN, 8/68." As the tape was reviewed, those interviews immediately preceding and jg! following the pertinent interview were found to be noted on the container.

I M9292 LIPTON re-iterated that his article in the Les Angeles Free Press captioned, "Yippies to Visit Hog Capitol", _,/ was complete as the tape recording and contained no additional information. He apologized for not having the tape as he had previously advised the interviewing agents.

1 1 The Students for a Democratic Society SDS!, as} H is known today, came into being at a founding convention h at Port Huron, Michigan, in June, 1962. The SDS is an ' association of young people on the left and has a current program of protesting the draft, promoting a campaign for youth to develop a conscientious objector status, denouncing United States intervention in the war in Vietnam and to "radically transform" the university community, and provide for its complete control by students. GUS HALL, General Secretary, Communist Party, USA, when interviewed by a representative of United Press International in San Francisco, California, on May lh, 1965, described the SDS - as a part of the "responsible left" which the Party has _ "going for us." At the June, 1955, SDS National Convention,_ an anti-Communist proviso was removed from the SDS Constitution. 1 In the October 7, 1966, issue of "New Left Notes," the official publication of SDS, an SDS spokesman stated that there are some Communists in SDS and they are welcome. The -.-1-H national headquarters of this organization as of April 18, 1967, was located in Room 206, 1608 west Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois. --.1-,

Special Agen 0 e e era ur ga on that on March 17, 1967, one Abbie Hoffman spoke in the -r. -- Community Hall auditorium on the campus of Rio Grands College, Rio Grands, Ohio. Hoffman was identified as a leader in the Youth International Party ilippiesi. Hoffman was to speak on the subject of "Administrative Tyranny", but his speech rapidly grew into an obscene denunciation of police. Hoffman supplemented his remarks with a movie of the riots which took 1'-as! place during the 1968 Democratic National Convention at e '- 1 Chicago, Illinois, into which was spliced film strips of the "Keystone Cops." Hoffman also spoke of police brutality _ , 4-. ,___ .__. and illustrated his talk by smashing eggs and gourds. During the showing of the movie, he would call out "pig" upon the 1"? ' :-.. appearance of a police officer and his followers would echo the cry. The speech was attended by approximately 400 persons, including students, faculty, and their wives. Also speaking at the same time were Eugene Stewart Newman, an instructor -92 - E in Sociology at Rio Grande College, and Ronald L. Burgher, a '. L former instructor in speech at Rio Grande College. P ,' _'; Hoffman's appearance was sponsored by the "Young Democrats", a legitimate campus organization formed prior to the l9¬8 National Elections. Hoffman was physically brought to the '5§§campus by Ronald Burgher from the Antioch College campus at '.- Yellow Springs, Ohio. After the speech, Hoffman was believed to have gone to the apartment of Eugene Stewart Newman, but has not been seen since then on the Rio Grands College campus.

Hoffman was brought to Rio Grands College in support of William N. Christopher, an Assistant Professor of English, ' % F whose contract was not to be renewed. His cause was taken up iEz1'3 by Eurgher and hewnau eith the support of other students.
