Two 8.5x11 inch handbills printed both sides, folded for mailing, about the raids on October 12th in Chicago, immediately following the "Days of Rage" protests.

"SDS has been informed by sources within the administration that Attorney General Mitchell has the backing of Congress to institute a series of arrests directed at local leadership on phony charges ranging from sedition to narcotics. The average sentences they are shooting for will range around two years, with the minimum goal of six months-the immediate objective being the removal of these activists from schools and cities through the summer and especially through the fall.
