Hoffman surrenders on cocaine rap
after spending six years in hiding g&r
United Press International
What made Abbie run?
Three pounds of cocaine with a retail price tag of $36,000.
Police undercover agents arrested Abbie Hoffman, ex-Yippie leader and
Chicago Seven defendant, on Aug. 28, 1973, in Room 1015 of Manhattan’s
Diplomat Hotel on charges of possession and sale of drugs.
He pleaded innocent and said he was framed.
Because of the quantity of drugs, he faced a maximum sentence of life in jail
if convicted.
In 1974, he disappeared.
Thursday, after six years in hiding, he surrendered on a cocaine charge
because his work to save the St. Lawrence River “became more important
than my own personal safety.”
Hoffman, 43, accompanied by his brother, sister and a female companion,
turned himself in to special state narcotics prosecutor Sterling Johnson, at
8:52 a.m.
The ex-Yippie leader of the ‘60s will be 44 on Nov. 30.
Hoffman, the author of several books — including “Steal This Book” and
the more recent “Soon to Be a Major Motion Picture” — made his last court
appearance on the drug charge on Feb. 25, 1974.
New York Supreme Court Justice Mary Johnson Lowe issued a bench
warrant for his arrest on April 16, 1974, after he failed for the third time in 32
days to appear for a pre-trial hearing.
The judge’s order also required that a $10,000 cash bail be forfeited. The

WASHINGTON — The Federal Elections CommissionThi
gave John Anderson a major victory, ruling his independent presided
tial campaign is eligible for millions of dollars in post-election gov
ment payments.
The FEC ruled 5-1 that Anderson will be able to collect goveraupB Catching t
cash with 5 percent of the vote in November. do Students
Although the money will not be forthcoming until after the elect ^University q
it is a critical victory for Anderson who will be able to borrow ags ||nique cult
the expected money and therefore be able to finance a media
paign.
The commission deliberated for more than two hours with sev
members saying the opinion may actually dodge the issue ofwbi
an independent like Anderson must receive post-election fundiri; *Sou/,a, a Fui
In 1976, the commission turned down a request that independf|from Brazil,
Eugene McCarthy be declared eligible if he received 5 percent of Mis since Ju
vote. But this time, despite Anderson's much stronger threat ikllihe an Aggi
McCarthy to Carter, two of the three Democrats on the panelanddf The Full
three Republicans voted to make him eligible.
Anderson has filed a court suit that asks the FEC be forced tocei
him as eligible for post-election payments. Presumably the FEC
sion today makes that suit moot.
Even if the panel decides against Anderson, it wont end then*
Anderson has challenged the law as discriminatory against indi
dents and a court decision is expected soon. If the FEC sides
Anderson, then the court suit probably will be moot.
Reagan and Carter each get $29.4 million from the government ^States,

Under the complicated formula, a 15 percent showing—aboutvij^M from
