CONFADENTIAL
RE: YOUTH INTERNATIONAL PARTY
DANA BEAL, who is active in the Zippies, did a
lot of talking at Flamingo Park and indicated that the
forces would havs to be organized if they wanted to defeat
NIXON and his capitalistic pigs. This occurred on July 1l,
1972. They also talked about getting wheelchairs ready
for the “Wheelchairs for Wallace" parade, Some of the
most active individuals in this demonstration were PATRICK
SMALL, JOHN MATTES, and TIM SLATER. During the march some
ART BREMER masks were worn, and ART BREMER is the individual
who was involved in the shooting and attempted assassination
of Governor WALLACE.
TOM FORCADE, who has been the leader of the
Zippie faction along with PAT SMALL, also was active in this
march, which consisted of about 400 people. The march went
to the Convention Hall area and a WALLACE wheelchair was
thrown over the fence. The demonstrators then went to a
bridge over a creek outside the hall and had a false TED
KENNEDY attack by throwing a wooden steering wheel in the
water and singing “Bridge Over Troubled Waters", and naming
the moat "Mary Jo Causeway", There was quite a bit of obscene
language used, some of which was on posters. They were
predicting anywhere from 20,000 to 40,000 people for the
Republican Convention, There is a great deal of strife
between the Yippies, the Zippies, the VVAW, the Gay Activists,
and the Jesus Freaks at Flamingo Park,
