September 28, 1990
OKA, Quebec — Some 45 Mohawk men, women, and children continue to refuse
to surrender to the 400 heavily armed soldiers of the Canadian army who
surround their fortified refuge in a detoxification center at
Kanesatake, a Mohawk community near here, about 30 miles northwest of
Montreal.
These besieged Natives have been facing down the army for nearly three
weeks. The army invaded Kanesatake on September 1 and dismantled
barricades that had been up since July 11, when more than 100 Sûreté du
Québec provincial police attacked a peaceful blockade preventing the
construction of an exclusive golf course on Mohawk land.

Once again, the game of the Democratic Party primary has been played in
New York City and a large number of radicals and persons opposed to the
U.S. involvement in Vietnam were sucked into it, mainly through having
devoted considerable energy campaigning for the reform Democrat, Rep.
William F. Ryan.
Ryan has a certain attraction to the anti-war forces because — while he
has not actually opposed U.S. involvement in Vietnam — he has been more
critical then most capitalist politicians and was one of the handful of
congressmen who voted earlier against President Johnson’s special
Vietnam war appropriation earlier this year.

CHATHAM, Va. Sept. 20 — Protest telegrams pouring in to the court put a
halt today to the attempt to railroad Odell Waller, young Negro
sharecropper, to the electric chair by rushing his trial only three days
after he was indicted.
Judge Clement of the Circuit Court of Pittsylvania County, Virginia,
backed by Commonwealth attorney Whitehead, had refused to continue the
case or give the defense time to summon important witnesses. The protest
telegrams brought a sudden change and the judge granted a continuance
until September 26. Waller, a 23-year-old Negro sharecropper, is charged
with shooting to death his white landlord in a dispute over the division
of the crops.
