A pair of Panthers are being held as suspects in the fire bombing of a McCarthy-for-President center in San Francisco. Two weeks ago, Panthers cradling rifles invaded a Seattle high school where Negro students were terrorizing whites. Other Seattle Panthers shook down students for protection money in another school. Federal law officers have a strong hunch that some Panthers augment their membership dues...
