Description
Los Angeles: Black nationalist Ron Karenga is surrounded by bodyguards as he arrives for a hearing on the charges of torturing two woman followers. Superior court Judge George Dell continued the case because of difficulty in finding an attorney for Karenga, who is head of the US organization. The judge reported the difficulty exists because of rivalry between the Black Panther Party and Karenga's organization.
