SENATOR STROM THURMOND REPORTS TO THE PEOPLE URBAN GUERRILLAS In recent weeks and months we have been watching the rise of a grave new threat to our nation’s internal security. In city after city, and even in some college towns, groups of men and women have banded to gether to form a guerrilla move ment dedicated to the disruption of civil order and to the ulti mate overthrow of our form of government. The acts of terrorism which have been rising in intensity are not the work of “mad bombers” releasing pent-up per sonal frustrations. They are the work of what may best be de scribed as a “movement,”—that is, a nation-wide underground of individuals and organizations dedicated to the ideology of violent revolution. BOND OF I N IT Y Although small in numbers, revolutionaries are united by a bond of thinking and strategy, perpetuated by their own pub lications and pamphlets. Fur thermore, at least some of the most prominent among them have received training together in guerrilla warfare in training camps abroad. Moreover, there are certain organizations, with identifiable leaders and mem bership, which maintain various kinds of control over the move ment. Most Americans th'nk of guer rilla warfare as something pos sible only in jungle or moun tainous terrain. Nevertheless, it has been highly successful in urban centers, leading to the overthrow of established gov ernments in China, Algeria, Latin America, and elsewhere. The technique of the urban guerrilla is to remain always on the offensive, with surprise at tacks intended to incite terror and uncertainty. Such attacks need not be centrally coordi nated. The urban guerrilla manuals now in wide circula tion in the United States em phasize that it is only necessary to have a generally rising level of intensity of disruption. In deed. great emphasis is placed on the initiative of local groups to plan their own attacks with out a complicated hierarchy of command. DEDICATION TO VIOLENCE Thus, in recent weeks the nation has noted the explosion of individual “bomb factories” and other explosion., in which the bombers themselves were de stroyed. Those who profess to see no central conspiracy in >uch explosions miss the essen tial bond of ideology and the intensive cross-fertilization of information and strategy. Those concerned share a com mon dedication to the core of Marxism-Leninism, although some may protest that their real doctrine is anarchism, or dedi cation to Mao Tse-Tung, Che Guevarra, Trotsky, or a host of other terrorists. All of them agree in the overthrow of our government, and their activities mutually assist each other. The techniques of the urban guerrillas include bombing, threats of bombing, arson, plane hi-jacking, kidnapping, and sniper activity. Urban guerrilla, warfare is distinguished from riots and general anarchy by the political motivation of its helected targets, which include the police, the courts, banks, and the offices of corporations which upport our national defense. The aim is to create hav. c both with our system of law and order and with symbolic targets of private property and out- capitalist economy. Other techniques include bank robbery for funds, and robbery ;f arms and ammunition from arsenals and stores. Both such crimes have been rising rapidly in the U. S. REMEDIES There are two remedies avail able to defend our nation against the-e lawless criminals. President Nixon has called foi st rong legislation t S. ddaO) against the interstate transpor- t 'Lion of explosives intended to de.'troy property or life, false bomb threats by mail or tele phone, and the destruction of government property. Sanctions would range up to the death penalty where death results. The other remedy is the re- invigoration of the Subversive Activities Control Board. Con trary to the impression given in the press, the recent Supreme Court decision against the SACB involved only the ques tion of mere membership in the Communist Party. The Supreme Court has up held the right of the SACB to label Communist action organi zations and to label individuals who are knowingly involved in Communist activities. What is needed now is an Executive Order from the President au thorizing the SACB to judge all ciolciit-uct ion organizations, in stead of only those formally aligned with the Communist Party.

We are in position to tell them some things that not many others are able to tell. That is—the fact that we have been paying a large rate of return on savings for more than 35 years and at the same time maintaining a large re serve position—much more than is required by super visory authorities. We are also able to tell them that since April 1st, 1970, we are paying 4.75 on regular passbook savings accounts regardless of the amount. And, we can tell them that we are paying from 5^ to 7 1 / 4% on Savings Certificates, contingent on the amount invested. Where you save does make a difference.
