The head of the west - coast branch of the Party, "Captain" Ralph Forbes, spoke at the University of California at Berkeley on May 22, 1964, before a capacity crowd of 6,500. The audience, described as good-natured and humorous, simply laughed at his presentation. e. Stunts Publicity stunts during demonstrations are a favorite ANP device. In 1962, during a demonstration in front of a Washington, D. C., theater, a trooper dragged a Soviet flag along the sidewalk. When this did not get sufficient attention, the trooper bolted through the crowd at the entrance, ‘threw the flag on the carpet in the lobby, ‘and began- tramping on it. A police officer picked up the flag, returned it to the trooper, and ordered him to rejoin the line. He then threw it on the sidewalk and stamped on it. He was placed under arrest and charged with disorderly conduct. One tried-and-true method of gaining publicity involves the use of handcuffs. On at least three occasions, ANP pickets have handcuffed themselves to the iron gates of embassies in Washington, D. C. It was necessary to use either wire cutters or files to extricate them. All were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. - 26 -
