Justice for Fred Quilt
aim of Kamloops forum

Fred Quilt is dead. Why?

That is the subject and title of
a small pamphlet put out this
week by the Fred Quilt
Committee from Vancouver.

The committee has been
responsible for much of the
publicity that has been given to
the shocking case of Fred Quilt,
Cariboo resident, who died
following an incident involving
the RCMP. The committee is
determined to put an end to
unjust ‘‘justice’’ where Indians

“are concerned, and are urging

concerned people to converge on
Kamloops for the government-
ordered second inquest on July
16 into Fred Quilt’s death.

The pamphlet says the Indian
community has made the case of
Fred Quilt a matter of national
importance.

‘This will be the first time
that the Indian people have
protested the death of one of the
brothers so adamantly . . . The
Fred Quilt Committee is
anticipating that this will be the
largest Indian defense
demonstration this province has
seen...2 =’

Further the pamphlet states:
“Since the introduction of this

unorthodox protest group and

since we have begun working on
the issue of the injustices
surrounding the (Quilt) tragedy,
we have recognized the need for
a national and permanent
organization to introduce and
achieve certain aims and
objectives, such as:

To create and achieve a sense
of Indian power in order to

develop a united strength to deal —

PT manager writes Sun

PT circulation manager Ernie
Crist has sent the following
letter to Vancouver Sun Colum-
nist Allan Fotheringham:

Dear Sir: This is in reply to
your recent column stating that
“The Pacific Tribune, modestly
calling itself the only labor paper
consistently fighting for the
interests of the working people
in B.C., states that unless it can
raise $5,000, on top of the $15,000
towards its current drive objec-
tive it will have to curtail opera-

tions or close down com-
pletely.”

* Storage

Please permit me to thank you
very much for your concern for
our paper. I am pleased to
inform you that our friends and
supporters not only raised the
$20,000 required but went over by
a considerable amount.

This important achievement
will enable the PT to continue
the struggle for the interests of
the working people in B.C.,
against the sell-out policies of
the Socred government, for an
end of the war in Vietnam and
for socialism.

with such outrageous things as
the death of brother Fred Quilt:
to demonstrate the inability of
law enforcement and the courts
of law to come to terms with
basic issues concerning Indian
people; to promote unity and
understanding among the Indian
nation while developing a sense
of one community; to demand
the cessation of police
hostilities, violence and
terrorism; to form a civil and
human research council.

Financial support should be
sent to the committee at 302 - 101
East 7th Ave., Vancouver 10,
BL.

Meanwhile, the June issue of
Indian Voice says in a headline
story that North American
Indian leaders will attend the
new Fred Quilt inquest set for
Kamloops on July 16. Norman La
Rue, of the Fred Quilt
Committee said there have been
many verbal commitments from
National Indian and Metis
provincial leaders that they will
attend.

TV bar on Angela

Angela Davis, scheduled to
make a national appearance last
Wednesday night on the Dick
Cavett talk show, was ‘‘balanced
out’’ by ABC-TV executives.

At the last moment, TV big-
wigs decided that Miss Davis
originally scheduled for a full 90-
minute interview, must
“balance” her appearance with
either William Buckley or
William Rushner, both known
Conservatives.

Angela Davis called the
decision a “restrictive
precedent”’ and declared she
could not appear under such
circumstances. Cavett called the
network action ‘‘a corporate
decision . . . which means that
no individual gets the blame

Rob Baker, member of the
National Committee to Free
Angela Davis, said “‘If you ever
needed proof that monopoly
capital controls the media— this
is it.”’

A 45-minute Angela Davis
interview on the CBS-TV “‘Sixty
Minutes’’ program was cut to six
minutes.
