Since the time of his arrest by Federal Agents in
2
New Orleans for the incident of his alleged threat on Pres-
3
ident Johnson (after which he was questioned and released
4
without conviction or sentence) he has had to be in constant
5
touch with Federal offices of the Secret Service and F.B.I.
6
by ordertof the Federal Government. Agents from those organ-
7.
izations have warned him to D: keep. This mouth shut" or risk being

13
reporters from the sunday supplement of the Long Beach Press

26
persistent honesty.

Apparently, freedou of speech is something which Bro-
