A review this case reflects subject was one of 30
persons arrested by the New Haven Police Oepartment, in
connection uith a demonstration at the Af.med Forces Induction
Center, New Haven on 12/8/67. This charge was subsequently
dismissed 12/8/67, inasmuch as CRILE-had satisfied the court
that he was a legitimate photographer and not a participant
in the demonstration. It was further ascertained that-subjec1;
bas written an article highly-critical at the protest march 'on
the Pentagon.
In view of the above, it appears that subject has no
propensity for .violence, and does not advocate protest marches,
but rather opposes_them. The New Haven Office feels that no further
investigation is warranted in this matter, and is placing
this case. in a closed status . Sliould additional information
\ be received concurring subject,- this case will of course be
re-evaluated in the light of the additional information.
