Mrs. George Jackson, mother of George and Jonathan, voiced a widespread conviction here that prison authorities delibe- rately murdered her son in San Quentin. “They have gone to any lengths to set him up to have him killed and make him up to the public as an: animal,” she said. “They killed him and set him out in the yard and pho- tographed him, then said he tried to escape. There’s no way he could have left that visiting room with a gun, because when he takes one step out of that room they put those chains on his feet and his hands. As soon as they-open that door and let him out the first thing they do is search him.” Persons familiar with the San Quentin routine scoff at the sto- ry of prison authorities that somehow someone could have smuggled a gun to Jackson. Prisoners are searched before entering the visiting room and immediately afterward. While in the visiting room they are under surveillance. Louis §S. Nelson, the San Quentin warden, has put out the story ‘broadly implying that a gun was handed Jackson in the visiting room by an attorney. Nelson argued lamely that's how the gun allegedly brought into the visting room “escaped the electric searching device. The lawyer who saw Jack- son immediately preceding the shooting was reported to be Stephen Mitchell Bingham, 29, grandson of the late iti Bingham who was governor (o) Connecticut and a U.S. Senator. Bingham is the son of Alfred Bingham of Salem, Conn. and a nephew of Jonathan Bingham, Democratic congressman from New York City. Sensationalizing the Laat police here have put out an a : points bulletin for Bingham, an claim they are seeking an unin- dentified woman who allegedly accompanied Bingham when he visited Jackson on Saturday afternoon. The official prison version is that Jackson pulled out-a gun as he left the vps room to step into the so-calle adjustment centre to make his break for freedom. ‘ce According to this story, Jac son was shot and killed by a tower guard while he piles = pe bl ryi ; a ee foot high make his way to a 20- wall, one of two such walls.

This is only supposed to last for 90 days but there is specula- tion that it may be extended. U.S. labor has reacted angrily to the freeze, and CLC presi- dent Donald MacDonald issued a statement last Monday warn- ing the federal government inst copying the U.S. .-.

A stiffening of resolve and a reversal of course away from the branch-plant aspect of our economy must be made.” In Regina support for the position of the Canadian Labor Congress on the Nixon inflation proposals was expressed by Ross Hale, president of the Sas- katchewan Federation of Labor. “CLC President Donald Mac- Donald had criticized these proposals, saying, that the wage- price freeze “was highly in- equitable and hence unworkable in that it cannot be made to ap- ply to all forms of income.” “The prolonged illness of the American dollar, U.S. economic troubles and inflation, are pri- marily attributable to the Viet- @ |Cont‘d on pg. 6 “This cri sis and the U.S. government measures,” the Communist Par- ty leader stated, ‘must not lead to any steps by the Ottawa gov- ernment at the expense of the Canadian people, for example by imposing wage controls or income policies, as Nixon has done in the United States.” Slogans carried by.the picket- ing Communists, joined on Par- liament Hill by Young Commun- ist League members, demanded: “No monopoly wage freeze for Canadian workers” — “No deals on energy, auto, NATO and NORAD with U.S. imperialism” — “Meet plant closures with public ownership”, and asserted “Canada’s independence is not for sale”. The following is the text of the Aug. 23 brief of the Com- munist Party to the government of Canada: The unilateral economic mea- sures taken by the Nixon Ad- ministration last week, without prior consultation with other concerned countries, highlights the real relationship which exists ‘between the U.S.A. and its allies and trading partners. It likewise points up the depth of the eco- nomic and financial crisis in the U.S.A. which the Nixon Adminis- tration is trying to unload on other countries and peoples, in- cluding the people of the U.S.A. The immediate source of the financial and currency crisis and the international balance of pay- ments deficit is the U.S. war of aggression in Indochina, the vast expenditure of monies for military bases in other countries and for military expenditures generally. It is the U.S. imper- ialist drive for world domination which is bringing the capitalist world to the brink of crisis. The essence of the U.S. mea- sures in their totality amounts to a declaration of economic war on other countries. The Nixon Administration is deter- mined to solve the unemploy- ment problem, the balance of payments deficit, increase its ex- ports and reduce imports at the expense of other peoples. It is out to use its economic power to subordinate other countries, including Canada, to its will. The present course taken by the Nixon Administration is likely to aggravate international tensions and worsen the econo- mic ‘situation. It has no pros- pects, other than to intensify inflation and unemployment. For Canada the .10 percent surcharge on imports will be disastrous. It is estimated that close to three billion dollars worth of goods will be affected by the surcharge. It will hit @ |Cont‘d on pg. 6 |PACIFIC TRIBUNE—FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1971—PAGE B)
