Uv ed ne a i he The estimated 2,000 copies of the BPP newspaper sold durin 12/72 re sesents no change from the number of papers sold during 11/72. This total is highly unsatisfactory as far as the Party is concerned because the figure in the area of 2,000 means that the Chapter is not meeting its most basic _expenses, The Panthers continue their policy of travelin --~through various cities throughout the State of North Carolina W to sell their papers. Sources report that LARRY LITTLE, as head of the BPP Chapter, was given a check for $7,000 from the insurance company of JOSEPH E. WADDELL, BPP member who died in Central Prison, Raleigh, N. Ces several months ago. WADDELL named the Winston- Salem BPP Chapter as beneficiary of a $7,000 insurance policy on himself. Apparently some of this money went for the 12/17/72 BPP sponsored Survival Day Rally held at Winston-Salem, N. C., as sources reported that the Party had on hand $2,600 in cash for the rally. The money left over from the $7, 000 remains in LITTLE’s possession and sources report that LITTLE has been driving a new automobile during the past several weeks. 1} Durine tho 12/72 Suruituns l Day Ra lly Fibs hs best Date iF ww ¥ gave away almost everything they had and were seid to “be broke again and in dire need of funds.
