BRAGG BRIEFS
GITS UNITED
AGAINST THE WAR IN INDOCHINA
the
Bragg Briefs is published in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and
United States Constitution. [tis a free press, published by active duty GIs
stationed at-Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Bragg Briefs is dedicated to realizing
the vision of the American Revolution of liberty and justice for all peoples.
TO GO OR
ThereTs a lot of people going to Washington D.C.
in the beginning of May to express the national senti-
ment against the war in Indochina, government eco-
nomiic policies, racism, and government repression.
Many GITs across the country are planning to go to
Washington to join with the rest of the nation in the
scheduled May Ito 5 activities, and itTs easy to see
that the Army Brass isnTt looking foreward to May.
GITs arenTt allowed to attend an off post demon-
stration in which oviolence is likely to result�. If it
wants to stop the GI migration, the Army will have
to show before the planned demonstrations that, vio-
lence is likely to result, and make this clear to all pers-
onnel through a directive (..which means read by your
CO at a company formation and posted on your bul-
~letin board). The burden of proof rests on the Army
before the demonstration, and it will be very hard to
show anything here, since all the plans for the Spring
are non-violent.
Another thing to remember is that a GI canTt par-
ticipate in a demonstration in uniform, or when heTs
AWOL (for obvious reasons), so anybody planning the
trip to Washington should take these facts into con-
sideration.
If your Company Commander should make a state-
inent to you, or to any GITs in general, about not go-
ing to Washington May 1"5, you should call Post Jud-
ge Advocate to check on the legality of the statement.
To keep you here, the Army would have to make
Washington off limits or restrict all, or at least your
part, of Ft. Bragg. Either of these actions, and/or show-
ing that violence may result, is something that would
have to come down from at least post headquarters...
you would hear about it.
WhatTs the possibility of the Army going to these
ends to stop massive GI participation in the May Day
activities? You probably wonTt know until the week
before May Day. Remember what was laid down above,
question what you hear, and donTt fall for any oCom-
pany-level mandates� or illegal orders.
The Department of Defense Directive for handling
dissent and protest activities is number 1325.6, dated
September 12, 1969. That little number includes your
rights as well as your limitations.

IS FREEDOM OLD- 9
FASHIONED °
In the days before America became independent
and was still under the rule of Britain, a colonial
~court struck a blow for freedom by upholding the
right of a printer, Peter Zenger, to freedom of the
press. Just recently , the Supreme Court of the United
States decided that such freedom was old-fashioned
and refused to hear an appeal by GITs United to get
the right to distribute Bragg Briefs on Fort Bragg.
GI's United was seeking a preliminary injunction
to stop the Army from denying GITs their First A-
mendment rights to speak, publish, and associate to-
gether freely, and also to prohibit the army from in
timidation and harrassment of GITs who engage in
political activity.
Although the Supreme Court refused to hear the
case for the preliminary injunction, the possibility
remains that it will hear the main part of the
sult, which is in the local Federal District Court
The Circuit Court in Richmond has ruled that Lt.
Gen. John J. Tolson, e x-commanding general of Ft.
Bragg, must give reasons for his denial of distribu-
tion rights to Bragg Briefs, to outline procedures
he used to examine other publications distributed
on Ft. Bragg, and whether he did, in fact, examine
all other publications to determine if they were o~a
clear danger to military loyalty, discipline, and
morale.
It is expected that the final hearing by the Circuit
Court wonTt take place until September, after which
the suit will most likely go vack up to the Supreme
Court. If the highest court in the land then decides
that GI's donTt have the basic rights guarranteed by
the Constitution to all citizens, then it will be time
for GI's to step outside of the law and to take
direct action to secure these rights.
The appeals were rejected without comment and
over the dissent of Justice William O. Douglas in both
cases, and of Justices Hugo L. Black and William J
Brennan in the Ft. Bragg case ;
in addition to the right of free press, the suit also
contained an appeal from GITs United at Fort Jack-
son, S.C., asking for the right to hold meetings on
post to discuss the war, racism, and other current
issues of interest to GITs.
From The KingTs Palace
Brothers,
This is a newsletter coming to you trom King Cree-
denTs Kingdom, officially known as the Fort Bragg
Stockade. This is intended to familiarize any enlisted
men who at some time in the future may wish to take
up residence here in the kingdom.
Unfortunately this little briefing will be limited to
A block, tthe maximum confinement facility, as the
author of this newsletter presently resides in A block,
and is only very rarely allowed to frequent other parts
of the kingdom
Should you ever be so industrious as to attain the
unique -rivele ge of residingin A block, your day will
begin with breakfast in your cell at approximately 0530
hours. Before obrekky� however, bunks will be locked
to the wall, according to SOP, DoD AR 63517, which
states that prisoners wilinot have breakfast in bed. I
mean, what the f""", this is the army isnTt it?
After chow, you have the entire moming to your-
self and there are a variety of things to do depending
on what status you enjoy. If you are on full rations
you have the opportunity to have ~rcading material in
your cell, altriougn there is hardly enough light to read
by. On half rations you cannot have anything to read
except a Bible, do your activities will be restricted come

your chair, lie on the floor, climb on the bars, walk on
the ceiling, or beat your head against the wall. If your
interests happen to be into archaeology, you can act-
ually read on the walls the little life histories left by
previous residents in the cells of A block. Thev usually
start out with some witty little sayings or poetry, then
the language becomes a little more incoherent, then
comes scratches and scribbles, and usually it comes to

To the Editors:
Many of the members of GITs United have been
wondering about the structure, goals, and purpose of
GI's United and if it is doing its job, my answer is no
One of GlTs United's primary functions is to bring
new GI's into the fight for peace in Indochina and
tor the recognition of the rights of GITs as citizens
of this country. Unfortunately the organization is be-
polarized around certain individuals and is stagnating
because of this polarization. If GITs United is toTplay
any significant part in the battle for freedom new
members with fresh ideas must be brought into the
organization.
But it must also be said that GITs interested in the
progress of GITs United must not wait for an invita-
tion to attend a meeting before becoming actively in-
volved in its activities. I believe that it is necessary to
restate that GITs United is an open membership organ-
ization and that any GI is welcome to attend any meet
ing and express his views and ideas.
If GlTs United is going to progress from merely a
debate society into an active organization with poli-
tical actions formed to forward the goals we have set
it is imperative that new GIT with fresh ideas and a
willingness to work, attend the weekly meetings with-
out a specific invitation to come.
If you care about changing the system so that it
can no longer send us to die in an immoral war waged
to increase the profits of Big Business, if you care a-
bout ending the bullshit from the brass that has re-
duced us to the level of slaves without the right to
protest the conditions that enslave us, then you will
attend the next GITs United meeting this Tuesday at
Haymarket Square and every Tuesday. GI's United is
the only hope the GITs have and it will die a quick
death if you donTt get involved and turn GITs United
into a strong and active political force.

Lee is here for wreckless driving of a buffer and

In transit from the Bragg, Stockade
to Ft. Riley, Kansas CTF.
ItTs true" Fort Bragg has been blessed with a new
commanding general. Reliable sources have informed
Bragg Briefs that the new CG, Lt. Gen Hay, is going
to be playing a different game from our past master,
Lt. Gen Tolson, in an effort to find a solution to the
crumbling morale and motivation all over post (and
throughout the Army). Word is that Gen Hay is going
oto whip Fort Bragg back into a real military post.�
One example of his intentions is his new haircut
policy short and in line with the ~old armyT 3 inch
regulation. Gen Hay was heard to say that he odidnTt
care how many article 15s it took� to make us all back
into real soldiers. So look out, Bragg Gls are probably
in for a lot more shit.
Understandably. the brass have miscalculated again.
HayTs stick methods are not going to be any more ef-
fective than TolsonTs carrot methods in overcoming
the anger and rebellion within the Bragg war machine.
Gls who were forced to risk their asses in Nam for
something they didnTt believe in are not going to back
down when something they do care about is at stake.
No amount of article 15s or even firing sauads are
going to stop ideas whose time have come.
time is running out..,
After saturation bombing equivalent to 2T%2 Hiroshimas a week, chemical defoliation which
has destroyed 12% of the arable lard, and invasions into its neighbors countries, Cambodia
and Laos " Vietnam sti: stands. But the price of freedom has been high. Genetic damage
from chemical warfare now threatens the future existence of the Vietnamese race. Over a
million peasants from the five northern-most provinces of South Vietnam are being remov-
ed south to the Mekong Delta area in what is the probable prelude to the use of tactical nuclear weapons.
The insanity of NixonTs policy of military victory through genocide threatens our humanity.
It is time to understand and act upon the desperate urgency of the situation in Vietnam. We
are no longer dealing with a nation fighting for freedom, but a people struggling for surviv-
al. If the war is allowed to continue for any length of time, Vietnam will cease to exist and
a 4000-year-old tradition will parish.
Therefore we are joining with our sisters and brothers throughout the world in support of
the call for determined and sustained struggle issued by the Vietnamese people. We must
not be swayed from our goal. We will no longer be put off! With all our strength we will
move forward and perserve with all of our conviction until every one of our troops is with-
drawn and peace prevails. Vietnam must live!
The PeopleTs Peace Treaty is a response to the peace proposal of the Vietnamese people. On septem-
ber 17, 1970, Madame Nguyen Thi Binh of the Provisional Revolutionary Government (PRG) of South
Vietnam put forward in Paris a comprehensive eight point proposal for peace in Vietnam. The PRG
proposal stipulated that if the U.S. Government set a date for total withdrawal of all of its forces, there
could be an immediate cease-fire and an immediate exchange of prisoners of war. The PRG would ac-
cept a coalition government as long as Thieu-Ky-Khiem were not part of it. The American negotiator
in Paris, David Bruce, joked that this proposal was merely ~~old wine in a new bottle.�
However, following Madame BinhTs proposal, on September 27, the editor of SaigonTs largest daily
newspaper, and a prominent member of the South Vietnamese National Assembly, Ngo Cong Duc, an-
nounced in Paris the demand for total. immediate withdrawal of all U.S. troops, and an end to U.S. sup
port of the Thieu-Ky-Khiem regime and the creation of a provisional coalition government which could
organize free elections in South Vietnam. The Duc statement was immediately endorsed by many per-
sons and organizations inside South VietnamTs cities. These people have formed the Popular Front for
the Defense of Peace, representing over 100 3
national and regional organizations not affilat-
ed with the N.L.F., who are now in open pol-
itical struggle against the Thieu-Ky-Khiem gov-
ernment.
This Popular Front includes the Vietnamese Wo-
menTs Association, the Buddhist WomenTs Federation,
the Committee of WomenTs Action for the Right to
Live, the National Movement for Self-Determination,
the High School Teacher's Union, the Student Comm-
ittee for Human Rights, the Catholic Labor Youth
Movement, the Committee of the Prison System. the
National Progreesive Force. the Progressive Labor Lia-
son Committee for Human Rights, various trades
unions (including dock-workers, railway workers, civil
servants, vendors, petroleum workers, market workers
andbank clerks), the Vietnamese Students Association,
the Saigon Student Union. and the 1965 Peace Action
Committee. Thus the Popular Front is a mass-based
organization with grass-roots support, as opposed to
the isolated, repressive Thieu-Ky-Khiem regime prop-
ped up by U.S. troops and money.
A delegation of sixteen students organized by the
U.S. National Students Association made a trip to
Vietnam in November, 1970 to investigate the fea-
sibility of framing a treaty of peace between the
American and Vietnamese students. Because of the
peace iniative of the PRG and the new anti-war
movement inside South Vietnamese cities, the Viet-
namese said that a separate peace treaty was necessary
They strongly welcomed this initiative, coming at this
dynamic moment in their own history, when Amer-
ican and Vietnamese co-ordination has the potential
of ending the war.
Despite efforts by the Thieu-Ky-Khiem government
to stop the student delegation from making contact
in South Vietnam. One delegate was able to slip
through SaigonTs security net and engage representat-
ives of non-NLF student organizations in the drafting
of the treaty. At the same time, student leaders from
the DRV (North Vietnam) and the NLF developed a
treaty with the U.S. stuaent delegation in Hanoi. The
two documents were fo,mally joined into one state-
ment in Paris. The final document represents the
hopes and demands of .eveiy. respected Vietnamese
leader in North and South Vietnam.
The political struggle in Vietnam is intensifying " ,
and what we do here in America can influence the |
outcome of events. Bypassing Nixon and the Paris!
negotiators, negotiating directly with the Vietnamese
people to end the war, will show American support for |
the Popular Front and the PRG peace proposal, as well
as increase pressure on the U.S. government to end
the war.
Nixon is faced with two alternatives. He can es-
calate the level of aggression to try to win a military |
victory, or withdraw. He can no longer prolong the
war indefinately. To win he must either invade North
Vietnam, or use nuclear weapons along the DMZ and
the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The price of victory is the
price of Vietnamese humanity. We must siake Nix-
on understand we will not allow the nulitary altema-
tive.

auestions & Answers
Q. How can the Treaty be implemented?
A. The Treaty allows the broadest possible range of
actions and encourages us all to think about ways
that we and our institutions can withdraw from the
war and pressure the government to make peace. The
Spring of 1971 will see the greatest number of actions
of all kinds, both local and national, there have ever
been. Some of the forms of implementation which
have already been thought of and which are being
used are as follows:
tadvise your elected representatives that you have
ratified the Treaty.
+participate in antiwar demonstrations. See page
of this issue for events.
+tsupport boycott against war profitcers. One nat-
ional bovcott is against Standard Oil. The Dept. of
De fense|sic | has recently begun to buy huge quan-
tities of scab lettuce from the compies being boy-
cotted by the United Farm Workers.
+extncate your institution from the war; use its
resources to oppose the war. For example, force
your college to include the Treaty in its catalogues
and other printed material; ask your local newspaper
[Plain Dealer? ] to print the Treaty, not as a news
story, but as a public service for discussion through-
out the community.
+REFUSE INDUCTION! Refuse to go to Vietnam
if in the military, refuse to fight if you are in Victnam
trefuse to pay telephone and other war taxes. The
10% federal tax on telephone calls is explicitly a
war tax.
+ participate in antiwar strikes. National strike
May 5, 1971!
+distribute information which calls attention to the
war and its effects at home.
+These are only a few of the possibilities. We are
no longer at war with the people of Vietnam. Each
group should decide on its own form of implement-
ing the peace treaty.

Q. IsnTt the Peoples Peace Treaty just another peti-
tion?
A. | want to make this one thing perfectly clear. No!
The Treaty is not a petition, for we are not request
ing, supplicating, asking Nixon to ogive peace a
chance.� In ratifying the Treaty, an individual or
group is declaring their own peace with the people of
Vietnam. While a petition is just a signature on a :
piece of paper, the Treaty represents acommitment jj
10 implement in any way possible in our own daily
ives.
The Treaty is not merely a petition in another
sense. In signing the Treaty, we are acting in violat- #
ion of the Logan Act. Although this act was passed
in the late 18th century, and no one has ever been
prosecuted under it, it does declare it illegal for a pri- §
vate citizen to enter into agreements with a foreign '
government. For most people, signing the Treaty will
be a first act of civil disobedience.
While it is of course important that large numbers
of people express their opposition to the war by sign-
ingythe Treaty is not anumbers game. Like body
counts. The significence of the Treaty is that it for-
ces each individual to make the moral choice of
whether or not they are consenting to the war.

(2 Ithat are some of the long-term effects of the
PeoplesT Peace Treaty ?
A. We hope that our treaty will end this war. We
hope that it will mean an end to the inhuman suf-
fering in a country that has been at war for 200 years.
The strength of our Treaty lies in the collective effort
of two people struggling for a mutual peace.
This same collective spirit must become part of our
daily life in order for our movement to be strong. Too
long we have been individuals afraid to love and trust
each other, afraid to achieve a singleness of purpose
and life. Afraid to be a real and living force as oppos-
ed to a mob of irrate individuals.
ln order to achieve this spirit we must begin at
home. We will begin by creating, working, loving
und living with small groups of people. A small group
with mutual trust and love can deal with sexism and
racism. The small group can be a stage in the develop-
ment of the collective. Collectives can work daily
struggling to change the forces that cause war, sexism
and racism. Collectives can initiate actions and not
just react to events. We can become the subject , not
the object, of history
The collective should be the primary form of org-
anization becuase the collective is the alternative to
the existing structure of society Changing social re-
lations is a process rather than a product of revolut-
ion. In other words, you make the revolution by
actually changing social relations. The collective is
the organizational nucteus of a classless society,
oThe strength of a collective lies in its social organiz-
ation not in tts anti-mass

DEPEND. THE RIGHT TO LIVE: APRIL 10: in Wasningcom, a6
the long marches move closer to their targets, the firet
actions will start, actions that commmicate to Sargon and
Paris and to the people of the United States that a power-
ful, wi fied campaign to end the war has begun. On April
10, women will assemble at various government buildings
to move through the streets of Washington towards the
Pentagon. Women demanding the right to live will gather
on the steps of the world's Largest mmufacturer of death.
American women know the immense significance of thetr ac-
tion: what it means to the thousands of Vietnamese women
who face tremendous risks to pull together the strength
of every woman in Saigon. An unborn generatim 18 tn per-
il and unity is imperative if life in Vietnam ise to be de-
fended.
VETERANS AGAINST THE WAR: APRIL 19-23: On April 19, thou-
sands of Vietnan war veterans will march onto the Capitol's
steps in what could be one of the most significant and
dramatic actions of this spring. like the Saigon Prest-.
dential Palace which recently had to hold off (with barb
wire and bayonets) protesting Vietnamese war veterans,
Washington officialdom will experience in April what it
has most feared: the dissaffection and anger of Wetnam
veterais who long ago. truned against the war policies they
were ordered to follow, but who have now built a organi-
zation to tum their individual rage into collective power
and thus give new energy and leadership to the anti-war
movement. Veterans in Washington will begin a peace lobby
that cannot be ignored. Veterans will inch up, face to
face, with the impotent, old men of Congress who all these
yeare have been "defending our boys" and who now, finally,
will be confronted in their offices, their hallways, their
parking lote and their homes with the very men in whose
name they have justified this war madness.
PEOPLE'S LOBBY: APRIL 24-30: The Vietnam veterans' Lobby
will continue t t rd week of April,
In Washington, D.C.
and San Francisco, California, the anti-war movement will
rally its numbers, to demand of this government an inmedi-
ate and total withdrawal of all U.S. troops from IndoChina,
the establishment of a d amual income of $6500
a year for all American families and the immediate release
from prison women and men who have been denied personal
liberty for their beliefe or morality or politica or pov-
erty. We say freedom to all of America's political pris-
onere, all of them.
The rally on April 24 will eall for a people's Lobby.
We ask that people stay in Washington, to take our demande
and our peace treaty literally and physically into every
department, committee and agency of this government. We
will assemble the largest lobby ever to converge on Wash-
ington, backed by a publie mmdate that is staggering:
73% of the American public wants out of Vietnam, only 34%
support Nixon's handling of the war; a majority believes
Nixon regularly lies to them about Vietnan. Our Lobby
will speak for this country.
We will organize our Lobby by regions of the country.
For example, the New Haven region will. "Lobby" in the Jus-
tice Department. It will be our intention to open all

CELEBRATION O;: PEACE: MAYDAY - MAT 1: As the pressure of
our y bur throughout the last week of April, the
Long marches will be arriving and gathering on a farm out
side of Washington. Tente will be set up. Supply lines
from farms throughout the Maryland and Virginia area will
be established. Commmities will he started on the laid.
A peace ctty will open with people Learning chants, sounds
for the White House. Hundreds of workshons on non-violent
tactics will occur in careful preparation for the week
ahead. We want it to be know that when we enter the city,
tt will not be to disrupt the commmity or to close dow
Washington or to engage in acts of violence against other
people or the property of people. It will he t. stop the
war machinery. On Mayday thousands of people will assemble
in a celebration of peace on a hill overlooking the aovern-
ment. Similar assemblies in Paris, London, Toyko, Peking,
and around the world will show massive international sup-
port for the people of Vietnam. Mayday is a plametuide
distress signal for every concerned person to aet in touch
with the life and death struggle facing Vietnam. Maydau
ts a pledge of tense of millions of hwnan beings to a world-
wide struggle to stop the war.
STOP THE WAR OR WE STOP THE GOVERNMENT: MAY 3: On Monday
morning, May 3, as the sun mses over the Potomac, we will
be w preparing to march from peace city into Washington.
We will be committed to non-violence, but determined that
Nixon and his generals who conduct the war business of
this nation widerstand that Vietnam camot be nuclear
bombed nor can a fascist regime be imposed upon its peo-
ple in the name of the American people. Our only regret
should be that we have not taken an action of this kind be-
fore, that our intentions were not made clear earlier. We
pledge ourselves not to seeing that the government of the
Untted States cannot continue this war in any form what-
soever,
We have voted, we have rallied, we have worked through
chanmetls only to discover they were all dead-end streets.
Now we take mother step: .the use of massive huna force,
to impose upon the government a crisis of international
proportions. If the government of the United States does
not stop the war, then we will stop the government of the
United States.
That's how we feel, in our gute. On May 3, the world
will know the depth of our love for the people of Vietnan
and for the American soldiers who have been ordered to
fight and die in Vietnan.
We join with the Southern Christian Leadership Confer-
ence, Clergy and Laymen Concerned, Women's Strike for Peace,
Fellowship of Reconciliation, National Welfare Rights Or-
ganization, American Friends' Service Committee and mmy
other organizations who take the position that the broad-
est posstble coalition of forces for peace and social jus-
tice in America must now commit themselves to force vith-
out violence, to a campaign of massive civil disobedience
tn Washington and other commmities.
Five major targets have been chosen for concentrated
actions on the morning of May 3; the Pentagon, CIA, Jus-
tice Department, Health, Education and Welfare Department
and the White House. Monday morning we will march into
Washington, thousands of us moving along the Potome to~
wards five staging areas for non-violent disruption of
roads - the roads that are the lifeline into governmental
institutions - roads like Shirley Highway, George Washing-
ton Memorial Parkway, 14th Street Bridge, Pennsylw sa
and Constitution Avenue. These roads represent the jor
areas of action. At 7:30am, May 3, people will m-~ onto
them, stt dow, and lock arms.
At noon, May 3, we will assemble at Congress to sur-
round the Capitol with people who are determined that Con-
gress accept the mandate of American and world publie opin-
ton. That Congress strike dow thie war with legislation
cutting the funds of the death machine and ordering the
withdrawal of troops, the establishment of a $6500 amual
income and the release of all political prisoners. We will
build an ineredible pressure at the base of Congress through-
out the first week of May.
On May 4 and throughout the week, we will engage in
militant actions at the entrances of those government in-
stitutions that cannot be allowed to continue their mur-
derous activities,

to harm your sisters and brothers who are out in the streets trying to make this a little better
place for all of us to live in. They are there for us.
Brothers and Sisters in the streets, the GITs you will face in the streets of Washington are
your brothers. Please treat them as such. We donTt want to be here facing you, we'd rather be

MACE: Mace isa liquid rather than a gas, and is used more on a person-to-person basis
than in crowd control. The pain that mace causes is intense, and this in turn causes the
breakdown of normal physical and mental functions. The treatment for a mace victim
is as follows: Wash out his eyes with the same boric acid solution described in the sec-
tion on Cs gas, wash all exposed parts of the body with water, then apply rubbing al-
coho! to dilute the kerosene and relieve the burning.
BLEEDING: In any case where a person loses an excessive amount of blood, it is imp-
erative that they be gotten to a hospital or medical center immediately. The best thing
to do until then is direct pressure with a bandage to the wound. Do not apply any
medicine even iodine or alcohol to any open wound. If the person becomes unconsc-
ious from lack of blood elevate legs and keep head lowered and to the side to maintain
an open airway, and keep them warm. For Bullet wounds cover entrance and exit with
sterile bandage, and apply pressure. Get person to a hospital.
BURNS: The exclusion of air form a burn by the application of a thick dressing reliev-
es pain, and if it is sterile prevents further contamination. Dressing should be dry. If
burns are extensive, treat for shock.
BROKEN BONES: Evidences of broken bones are swelling, tenderness, deformity,
and pain on motion. Keep the broken ends and their adjacent joints motionless.
HEAD INJURIES: To determine serious injury look for pupils of unequal size, bleed-
ing from nose, ears, and mouth. CALL MEDIC. Keep person quiet and keep their
head to the side. If a dressing is needed for the wound, lay a dressing over the injury.
Past experience has shown that several types of minor but very uncomfortable discomf-
orts frequently occur--such as feet blisters, which can be prevented by wearing broken-
in comfortable shoes and thick socks without any folds. If you do get blisters, make
sure you keep them clean with a bandaid.
FAINTING: Keep legs up and head lowered. If the person can sit, tell them to keep
their head between their knees.
HEAT EXHAUSTION: Symptoms are fatique, clammy perspiration, whiteness of skin,
faintness. Get the person to a cool and comfortable place. Loosen or remove as much
clothing as you can; raise legs if unconscious.
/t is important to remember if any serious injuries occur to call a medic or get medical
assistance immediately---AND KEEP YOUR HEAD!
LEGAL INFO
No one can be effective from behind bars, so if you are going to 2.C., do whatever
possible to avoid unnecessary confrontaions that might lead to an arrest.. Cops react
emotionally too and if they donTt like you (your attitude and behavior) they can bust
you and find a ~validT reason later.
CONFRONTATION IN A DEMONSTRATION:
If you become isolated from the mass, either alone or with a few friends, remember
that the power is on the other side, so donTt act smart alecky. Be polite and co-oper-
attive. You only have to give identification. DONTT TALK TOO MUCH! :
POSSIBLE CHARGES to watch out for are refusing to obey a cop ~s order, resisting
arrest, obscenity, disorderly conduct, refusal to disperse; all of which are vague and
therefore hard to avoid. Asking for a7 explanation can complicate the charges.

MEDICAL FIRST AID
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Before arriving in D.C. try to familiarize yourself with
the basics in first aid. For any emergency situation it is important to keep your head
in order to assess the situation before acting. ~When confronted with an injured person,
the first things to check for are breathing, bleeding, broken bones, and burns. If you
are in doubt, protect the injured person and keep him still-then call for a medic.
Do not moveT person who cannot move himself, unless absolutely necessary.
Everyone should carry a plastic bag with 3 or 4 water or lemon-soaked cotton balls, a
wet cloth, and a damp surgical mask. Cotton balls are useful to flush gas and other irr-
itants out of the eyes-DO NOT RUB YOUR EYES. The cloth and surgical mask may
be used as gas masks. Do not bring any medication at all (even aspirin) since you can
must cary, personal medication such as insulin, make Sure it is in a prescription bottle
and well-tabelled.
GAS: Everyone should understand the simple procedures for the treatment of a gas
victim. Everyone should be able to identify the type of gas being used against him, so
as to determine the type of treatment, and the seriousness of the situation. There are
five different types of gases used by the police at this point, and the effective forms of
defense vary. A defense for one may cause more serious effects when used against an-
other. Such is the case with vaseline. Vaseline works well against mace, since mace is
a liquid, but it causes gases to adhere to the skin and thus results in more serious burns.
Wet paper towels and surgical masks can be used to ease breathing problems but are al-
so ineffective against nausea gas.
CS Tear Gas; This gas is dispensed in various-sized canisters, plastic grenades, and fog
machines, and can be sprayed over an entire area from a helicopter. ~When you are hit
with this type of gas, you will suffer coughing, running nose and eyes, a reddening of
the exposed area, nausea, and sometimes dizziness. To relieve the running and burn-
ing eyes, wash them out with one part boric acid and three parts water. If boric acid is
not available, use normal tap water. Get gas off of the skin by applying mineral oil.
CN Gas: This is basically the same as CS gas, but milder. It comes in the same type of
container and has the same effect but not as unpleasant. The treatment is just washing
the exposed portions with water. Oil and alcolhol are not necessary.
NAUSEA GAS: This is an extremely dangerous gas, as it is colorless and odorless. It
does not affect the tear ducts, so chances are great that a person will not even know it
has been used until itTs too late. 1t comes in the same containers and the CN and CS gas.
As well as vomiting, the person experiences instant diarrhea. The individual may also
lose the normal balance of his mind. He finds it extremely difficult to perform normal
fucntions such as walking or running. If a person has respiratory difficulties, he
should be taken to a doctor immediately. There isnTt much you can do about nausea
gas, except wait for the symptoms to go away.
BLISTER GAS: This causes blisters on the exposed part of ~the skin. They may come
up in minutes after the initial exposure or they can take up to several days to appear.
This type of gas does not affect the eyes or throat so it is hard to tell if the gas is being
used. The only protection is to cover all parts of the skin, Apply mineral oil to blister-
ed area. Anyone blistered should keep off the streets, as the cops or military will be a
ble to identify anyone with blisters.

HITS WOMACK 3
On Saturday evening, March 2Uth, agent informer
Bailey dropped a dime to CID on three black GITs at
Simmons Flight Dispensary 22. That night CID raid-
ed 22 and found Brothers Brown, Russell, and Rivers
but no dope. The Womack Brothers were cool and
the CID flopped miserably. The Pigs rapped down
some bullshit charge about alleged possession and the
3 Womack GITs were hauled off to CID HOS. The
flaky charge was dropped and the Brothers were re-
leased.
The following Monday Brother Brown, a Womack

were a judge and jury of white lifers listening to each-

ent and that same night Brothers Russell and Rivers
were again illegally arrested, flushed out of the Bar-
racks, and charged with assault! The two brothers
were cleared with the help of Cpt. Lewis, a military
lawyer.
Rep was still being hunted and the next morning
was faced with a confinement order for the Stockade

USSF SHOW- RIGHT ON!
GITS AT BRAGG SUE TOLSON
PN AMEN 6 it Se
A)
The weekend of March 13th and 14th was a heavy
scene as Haymarket Square was thick with reporters,
a motion picture crew, and a hell of a lot of GITs
from the Bragg war machine. All came to see the
USSF Show and the cast of performers, which in-
cluded Don Sutherland, Jane Fonda, Barbara Dane,
Peter Boyle, Dick Gregory, and a last minute re
placement for Elliot Gould--Gary Goodrow
General J 1 Tolson, the CG at Bragg, had pre-
usly barred the Show because it would lowe:
morale, and ironically enough it met with strong re
sistance from nearly 2,000 GITs who had signed a
a petition to Congress in support of the Show.
The Public Auditorium, following TolsonTs stunt,
refused the GI Show as well on the grounds that the
purpose of this oJane Fonda� Show was to oincite�
people and make o political speeches.�
On the very eve of the Show a Federal Court in-
junction forced the Auditorium to open its doors,
But there was still a matter of $100.000 liability in-
surance--$1,000 cash down-and ticket takers, body
guards, and other expenses.
Despite the conspiracy by the military and Fay-
etteville Business community to railroad the show,
it came to the Haymarket Square Coffeehouse and
so did the crowds. The show was a sell out plus,
with packed audiences of 490 for all 3 perform--
ances. The show was a Satire against the war and
included : Mme he ee ee EGR Sparel. EE NC A
included a womens Skit on male chauvinism.

82nd Airbome.�T
Mrs. Nixon replys; o But Richard you donTt
understand, itIS the 82nd AIRBORNE!�
The GITs response to this skit was a tremendous
roar of clenched fists raised in solidarity.
Midway through the performance Peter Boyle,
the bald hard hat of oJOE�, played the tough role
of President Nixon. It went like this:
oI have heard that there is dissent among
the troops at Ft. Bragg. Now let me make
myself perfectly clear. 1 am here to gather
a referendum on our role in Southeast Asia.�
o*All those in favor of continued involvement
in Southeast Asia say, oIT� (Silence covers
the whole audience)T
o*All those in favor of immediate withdrawal
from Southeast Asia say, oI?� (Crowd roared)
The cheer that followed this was more than a cheer
it was a spontaneous cry that brust from the throats
The Ft. Bragg area was the punting grounds for
the USSF Show and plans are to continue the Show
at large military bases across the country. Since live
shows at every base would be a drain both humanely
and technically, a movie crew came to Haymarket
and filmed the show live on location. This will give
GI's at small bases a chance to see the show.
The tug of war against General Tolson that started
with 2,000 GI signatures to Congress is not stopping
there, nor just limited to one brass man. The barring
order is being challenged by GITs United, USSF Rey
resentatives, and show performers in a court suit a-
gainst Melvin Laird, Stanley Resor, Secretary of the
Navy, Secretary of the Air Force. The Provost Mar-
shall of Ft. Bragg, General J J Tolson, and the Chief
of Army Troop Entertainment. The court case will
come before the District Court in Clinton N.C. and
the Gls once again will use the courts system to try
an win their citizensT rights guaranteed to them in the
Constitution.

The North Carolina Lettuce Boycott Committee
which supports the farmworkersT struggle to union-"
ize for higher wages and better living conditions,
continued its picket of the Colonial Store at Eutaw
Shopping Center to protest the selling of non-union
lettuce, until the announcement of a national mora-
torium on March 26.
On March 13 we were joined on the line by mem-
bers of the cast of the U.S.S.F. Show which was per-
forming at Haymarket Square. During the time the
cast was on the line the store did not have one cus-
tomer, and one employee said later that it was the
worst Saturday he had seen in two years.
Skip Wrightson, the FarmworkersT boycott organ-
izer for North Carolina, said that in his opinion the
boycott effort was well organized in the Ft. Bragg
area, and that what was needed was the extension
of the boycott to other stores that handled non-
union lettuce.
On March 19 the picketing effort was extended
to the Colonial Store on Gillespie St.,
tight that he called the police to bodily throw us off
the property. But the picketers knew their First
Amendment rights, and were aware that the previous
week the Fayetteville City Council had refused to
pass any restrictions on peaceful picketing. We re-
fused to move unless arrested, and the police were
forced to back down.
On March 26, Cesar Chavez, of the United Farm-
WorkersT Organizing Committee, held a press con-
ference and issued..the following statement: oThe
signing of the agreement ending the problem with
the Teamsters has been worked out. Farm workers
are clearly recognized to be our jurisdiction. We are
calling a 30 day moratorium on the lettuce boycott,
and we hope that growers will now decide to meet
with us and negotiate in good faith. If this does not
happen, then of course the boycott will have to be
resumed on conclusion of the moratorium.�
The 30-day moratorium provides a non-pressure
period during which growers who signed ~sweetheartT
contracts with the Teamsters can agree to break these
contracts and negotiate with the U.F.W.O.C. The
Teamsters had formerly insisted on their right to
represent farmworkers and refused to recognize the
U.F.W.O.C. The moratorium agreement provides that
the Teamsters will reveal the names of all growers who
do not have Teamster contracts. During the morato-
rium the boycott will continue against growers who
have not signed contracts with any union at all.
The AFL-CIO executive board has pledged that
at the end of 30 days the AFL-CIO will fully endorse
a national boycott against all growers who have not
signed with the U.F.W.O.C. According to Chavez,
this would mean renewed strikes in the Salinas
Valley fields and TeamstersT refusal to truck non-
tnion lettuce. The threat of this situation has already
forced one more grower to sign with the farmworkers.
The U.F.W.OC. contract includes $2.10 per hour, a
hiring hall, grievance procedures, job security and
regulation of dangerous pesticides.
A survey of all the lettuce sold in the Fayetteville/
Fort Bragg area revealed that only one store, K-Mart,
on Bragg Blvd, consistently carries only U.F.W.O.C.
union label lettuce(Pasco and Blue Chip). You can
help the farm workers in their struggle by refusing
to buy lettuce anywhere except at K-Mart until you
see the farmworkersT eagle on the carton or wrapper.
The Boycott Committee will hold its next
Stravegy meeting at 8 P.M. Wednesday, April 28, at
Haymarket Square. We invite anyone interested in the
farm workersT plight to attend.
Out OF Their League
Dave Meggyesy played four years of topflight
college football and then went on to be a linebacker
with the professional St. Louis Cardinals for another
seven. Suddenly last year at the peak of his career,
he quit.
Dave was in Fayetteville at Haymarket Square
a couple of weeks ago to tell us why, and to rap with
us GITs about our problems. Full-bearded and dressed
like a freak, Dave told us how he got tired of seeing
himself out on the football field, while others made
millions selling football to the American public. He
also got tired of watching the sport being perverted
into propaganda for selling authoritarian values and
for getting people turned on to organized violence.

Dave still plays the game but only for fun, and
thatTs the way he believes football was meant to be

Football is a lot like the army, he figures. Both
offer a young male a chance to somehow prove that
he is one of these strange things called a ~man.T This
society defines a man as someone who is always
tough, sometimes cruel. without feelings and emotion
and who treats women like possessions. In exchange
for this doubtful honor men do insane things like
letting themselves get beat senseless each day on the
gridiron or getting their shit blown away in Nam.
The whole concept of what a man is in this country
is fucked up and so trying to prove your manhood
is senseless. After all, we are all either born as men or
