“The EPO concept, in the
context of the New Left,
does not mean legitimate

rather the creation of
counter or ‘parallel in-
stitutions within society but
opposed to it and to the elec-

“Through such  in-

seeks to organize and

into a revolutionary force
capable of overthrowing the

TWO DAYS OF FREEDOM

Ray back behind bars

BRUSHY MOUNTAIN,
Tenn. (AP) — James Earl
Ray remained silent
Monday as he was put in an
isolation cell following his
recapture after two days of
freedom in waterlogged,
snake-infested waods.

A disciplinary hearing

convicted assassin of Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr, The
worst Ray, 49, could receive
is loss of good time from his
99-year sentence which bans
parole for 33 years after
sentencing.

With the'recapture of Ray
and two other fugitives in a
10-hour span, only one of
seven men who went over

Friday remained at large.

east of the prison but there
