Coming down the stretch toward Nov. 3 and the 1970 election, the President has taken active as well as strategic command of the campaign he began outlining more than a year ago.

Operating with a $274,000 budget, the Civil Disturbance Group uses 100 daily reports from the FBI and other agencies, 12 intelligence analysts, and a computer which puts out an eight-inch thick set of books on the riot potential of every city. The command post of the "Interdivisional information unit" on the sixth floor of the Justice Department rivals the Army's CIAD for intelligence purposes...
