If he makes money from the book to be published
in October, he will offer $10,000 to each Chicago police
officer who joins with YIP or possibly he will just burn.
the money.
He stated he does not need money, does not work,
and does not ever plan to work because he is a passive
revolutionary artist. He observed everything is free,
"who needs money?" He reported he is in the process of
completely redeveloping New York City and has things there
well underway. From 14th Avenue on, things are well _
organized; "free sex, free narcotics, the world is a ball",
He invited everyone to join the free activity in his section
of New York City. HOFFMAN observed he has done such a good

Chicago "cop" during the demonstration activity. HOFFMAN
stated he has heard fromradio and television stations across
