Salem Journal, there appeared on page 5 an article entitled
anthers. Ambulance Featured on TV News." The article reported
the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) on its nightly news
,
television program of February 25, 1974, with anchorman
JOHN CHANCELLOR had shown a4 news reel narrated by KENLEIGH JONES.
CHANCELLOR, in introducing the program, qupped that, “the
Panthers used to put people into ambulances through violence but
_.#row Rave started offering a free ambulance service." The
report by JONES opened with films of a shoot-out between Black
Panthers and the police a few years ago at Panther Headquarters.
The scene ended with the police hustling two Parthers into police
cars. The report did not explain what precipitated the shoot-out
which was the alleged theft of 5 meat truck. The report went on
to show Panthers negotiating with Commissioners for authorization
to operate the service; showed the service in operation and
included LARRY LITTLE, the Panther leader, explaining that the
purpose of the service is to provide help for poor people,
mostly blacks, who cannot afford to pay the fee required by the regu-
lar county ambulances. 7
