He advised as follows: Progressive Labor Party (PLP) members held key positions at the convention, such as chairman. In this manner PLP controlled who was allowed on the floor to debate issues. When a view contrary to the PLP line was expressed, PLP members would shout the speaker down. The anti-PLP faction was a disorganized small group which was unable to effectively project its ideology over the harassment of PLP members. The source had no information re funds other than that a five dollar fee was charged for admission to the convention and numerous collections were made by various individuals and groups. The source could provide no details re the disburse- ment of funds. Funds for travel and lodging were not applicable for Chicago attendees as the convention was held in Chicago and attendees were able to reside at their usual abode. 2-) - Bureau (RM) 2-Chicago 1-100-50005 RHW:meb (4) it [REDACTED] OR 2/28/77- 67 JAN [REC-524-11 EX-111 [REDACTED] [REDACTED] M 45 [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] 12 JAN 25 1971 [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] Sent SPECIAL AGENT IN CHARGE [REDACTED] Per [REDACTED] [REDACTED] DATE : 31 ADVISED FY ROUTING AND FIELD OFFICES APPROPRIATE AGENCIES ES Es --- Ce Noom --- CG 100-45316 CONFIDENTIAL The convention attendees expressed disappointment with press coverage and turnout for leafleting activities.

DATE: 12/30/70 Potential Counterintelligence Action As the Bureau has been advised under the substantive caption, a factional split is developing in the Worker Student Alliance (WSA) group which calls itself SD3. This is expected to come to a head during the National Convention being held in Chicago at the present time. As this split develops it may well provide an excellent opportunity for counterintelli- gence action to further fragment the campus movement. Chicago is alert to this possibility and will make appropriat recommendations to exploit this split. It has been reported that WSA plans to move its national office to Chicago. To date no information has been developed to indicate that they have secured office space. Should they attempt to secure space, recommendations will be made, such as advising reliable sources at Illinois Bell Telephone Company of the poor credit rating of this group, anonymous mailings to property owners in the area, etc., in an effort to disrupt their efforts to establish a headquarters in Chicago. Pending Counterintelligence Activity Chicago is continuing a vigorous fugitive investiga- tion to locate members of the Weatherman group. Numerous contacts are being made among all elements in the Chicago area. By emphasis on the dangerousness of these extremists, many people contacted have advised that they have nouse for the extremist elements, and have pledged cooperation with the FBI. The pressure of the fugitive investigation has made it difficult for the extremists to organize any major disruptive actions.

They accuse [REDACTED] of "Weathermanism", of acting childishly by his toying with guns and of hurling epithets at them. In the source's opinion, the RU split is basically and essentially over personal animosity, however, it is shrouded in a revolutionary facade based on a difference in line. In this regard, [REDACTED] said that [REDACTED] had accused him of being a revisionist and male chauvinist who refused to practice democratic centralism. At the RU meeting at [REDACTED] house, the source noted, there was a good deal of [REDACTED] type of personal comments made by [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. As previously stated, there is a difference over and [REDACTED], they disagree with on the following points: a. Armed Struggle - [REDACTED] is accused of "Weathermanism." He is too prone to looking to the gun without being guided by political tactics and strategy. b. Democratic Centralism - [REDACTED] is accused of being irresponsible in not sending RU internal documents to the various collectives where they could be discussed and suggestions made. He insists that these documents were sent, although they may not have been received because of mail covers, pigs, etc. [REDACTED] - 2 - [REDACTED] seems to believe that it is not necessary to "bug" the various collectives with all the documents, position papers and internal dis- cussions of the Political Committee. c. Multi-National Question - wants to build a national party containing all races. according to wants to build an all-white organization to lend support to the Black Panther Party, which [REDACTED] believes is the vanguard revolutionary party today. d.

He predicted that in about a months time the victor, if such there will be, in the RU split will become known.

Additionally, a stamp reading "ORIGINAL FILE" is present in the right margin, and another stamp indicates "CONFIDENTIAL" (though the word itself is obscured by a redaction, the color and position suggest this).

The text discusses a meeting, a "real RU split," and accusations made against individuals related to "Armed Struggle" and "Democratic Centralism," with the redactions strategically placed to hide names and sensitive information.
