For the Record

■ Big split in Left. Guardian urges its readers to boycott the SDS Weatherman faction’s march on Chicago October 8- 11. The message is: the SDS isn’t serious; “its purpose is to recruit cadres from the high schools rather than build a mass movement against the war.” . . . Militant, organ of the Socialist Workers’ Party, also very critical of new controlling faction at SDS (Mark Rudd & Co.), urges its people to stay clear of it. . . . SDS, meanwhile, in New Left Notes warns against dope: “Don’t bring any dope into the centers. If you do you’re playing a pig role on your sisters and brothers by inviting a bust. If anyone offers you dope, you should assume that they’re a pig.” . . . One SDS leader, Bernadine Dohrn, who did not take that good advice, is in double trouble with the law. When busted for carrying dope it was also discovered that Miss Dohrn, 27, was traveling on falsified airline youth travel cards good only through age twenty-one. . . . SDS, incidentally, has been declared “unfit to be recognized” as a student group by any public school in California. So spake the Regents.

■ New York political situation getting ever more complicated. Will Hubert Humphrey, titular head of the Democratic Party, come out for Democratic mayoral candidate Mario Procaccino, or will he sit it out? Best bet is that Hubert will move if Averell Harriman does, and Harriman may have to if he hopes to retain leverage in the party. … As it stands now, Ted Sorensen will definitely run for the Senate next year; his law partner Arthur Goldberg says he hasn’t made up his mind whether to make that race as yet (if Goldberg endorses Procaccino it probably means he will run). . . . In forcing move, William vanden Heuvel, like Sorensen a Kennedy man, announced his interest in running against Nelson Rockefeller for governor—which is where Goldberg might have hopped if he decided not to make a fight of it against Sorensen. . . . Meanwhile, back on the Hill, prominent New York liberal Howard Samuels—one of the first big Democrats to switch to Lindsay—was busy in Washington trying to rustle up support for JVL among liberal Democrats. Two weeks later when the Democrats for Lindsay Committee was announced it did not include a single Democratic congressman.
