Messenger Muhammad:

B u i l d

By Elijah Muhammad Messenger of Allah Under the guidance of the all-wise Supreme Being, we can unite easily and build one of the greatest nations in all history. A nation chosen and beloved and under divine guidance, is a nation unequaled and will always be the superior of other nations. If we understand scriptures, w h e r e i n are t h e prophetic sayings of the prophets, it all sums up to one thing: God making a great and powerful nation out of a people who h a v e been trod under foot by the nations of the earth; people

N a t i o n

of nothing, unwanted in the societies of the intelligent nations of the earth—this is the American so-called Negroes. We know that we were not wanted as members of intelligent societies by the nations of the earth before the coming of that Just One, Whose coming forth is f o r freedom, justice and equality. Search the scriptures and you will find in them t h e prophecy of you becoming the greatest nation that ever lived under the sun—that is, those of us who are willing to submit to the divine guidance of the God Who came seeking us out of the nations of the earth. As Ezekiel points out, that God will seek and search

the earth for us, a despised and downtrodden people, to mount up, like mountains on the earth, to the equal and superior of the present superior nations. With the golden scepter of truth, with the divine guidance, if you will submit today you have no need to worry about being rejected and despised any longer. Stop worrying over the rich man's wealth. If God wants you to have some of it, He will give it to you. But do not pray for it, for the earth is full of wealth. Let's go after the e a r t h and get out of it some of its eternal treasures. Come, follow me and build of yourself a great nation. Thank you.

(Intercontinental News) CAPETOWN — The stolen heart of a Black man is now beating inside the breast of one of his worst enemies— one of the white South African racists dedicated to the extermination and inhuman enslavement of all blacks— while the white world "rejoices" at the s o - c a l l e d miracle of heart transplant. D E E P IN THE hearts of millions of Blacks in t h i s town and the area surrounding it is a rising rage and fury over the peculiar circumstances surrounding the manner in which the healthy heart of 24-year-old C 1 i v e Haupt was cut from his body to save the life of w h i t e dentist, Dr. Philip Blaiberg, who throughout his l i f e would never even touch a Black patient—a beast who was part and parcel of the unspeakable horrors inflicted upon the Black population in their own land. Black South Africans, who live as enslaved captives and are not allowed to leave their areas without a written permit from a white overseer, declare that young Haupt did not die from a "brain hemmorhage" as claimed. Instead, they have implied it was known beforehand that Haupt had the rare B-positive blood type needed by the dying white dentist. Therefore, according to the customary White South African contempt for Black life, the Black populace believe, it was probable that the youth was simply butchered and used as so many other Blacks have been used here in Nazi-like medical experiments conducted without even the smallest outcry from the so-called civilized world. THE UT1XIZATION of young Haupt does not mark the first time Blacks have been subjected to such experimentation, observers here point out.

What They Mean by "Colored" (The South Africa news media referred to young Clive Haupt as "colored," and much of the white American news media used the white supremacy designation of "mulatto" in describing the newly married African whose heart was torn from his body so a dying white man might live. However, because Clive Haupt had Black African blood he and his family, along with all other South African "colored" and nonwhites, were doomed to a life of slavery, were discriminated against and set aside to serve the colonialists. Clive Haupt's endemic designation is, of course, "Black." South Africa has put its non(Continued on page 22)

How Little-Known Black Surgeon Paved Way for Modern-Day Heart Transplants CAPE TOWN—The muchc e l e b r a t e d heart transplants by Dr. Christian N . Barnard here, which made headlines across the world, invariably were r e p o r t e d without a word of recognition for the black pioneer surgeon who performed the first successful open-heart operation in history, paving the way for Dr. Bernard's feats. PRIOR TO a phenomenal

1893 operation by Dr. Daniel Hale Williams in Provident Hospital on Chicago's South Side, heart wounds, or even wounds in the thoracic cavity, were treated with sedatives and prayer, and the patient invariably died. But, when Dr. Williams was confronted with a patient who had suffered a knife wound in an artery a fraction of an inch from the heart, he decided to do some-

thing no other doctor had ever done: to open the patient's chest and operate on the heart. Modern "miracle" drags, blood transfusion, X-rays, now absolute necessities to surgeons, were unknown medical tools at the time of Dr. Williams' famous operation. The Negro surgeon operated; the patient lived. Dr. Williams had performed the impossible operation.

The strike paralyzed Cotonou, the country's biggest city, and the capital of Porto-Novo. Upon securing the coup, new President Alphonse Alley announced that he would continue to "maintain order and prevent social troubles," leaving much speculation as to w h i c h direction he would take. In additon, Maurice Kouandete, head of the provisional government, announced that the new regime would continue to h o n o r agreements s i g n e d with France and other countries. HOWEVER, an indication of the alignment policy of the new regime might hinge on whether or not military leaders decide to r e s t o r e diplomatic relations with China. When Soglo took power, one of his first moves was to break relations with China and recognize the Chiang Kai-Shek government on Formosa.

By DARRYL R A E COWHERD (Pan African Press) MADISON, 111.—This little Missouri border town, once c o n s i d e r e d insignificant when considered at all, drew national attention when Black students walked out on thj football team in protest to white supremacy. Even this might be considered insignificant in the light of larger skirmishes in the battle for Black freedom if it were not for the fact that it highlighted a nationwide movement among y o u n g Black athletes seeking to put their particular kind of pressure on white power. THE NATION was astounded when a group of Black amateur athletes decided to turn their backs on the Olympic games in the same kind of protest. It was significant in this move that the athletes' major demand was for the full reinstatement and exoneration of World Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Ali, a sym-

It was the rising and just cry of the young who were determined not to suffer the same injustices which brought their f o r e bearers shame. " I said to them," Missouri State Representative Raymond Howard began in explanation of his negotiations w i t h the Madison, Illinois school board, " t h a t our contemporary history should h a v e taught them, from Newark to Detroit to Watts that the very decision it (the school board) had made created a situation w h i c h would give many super militants the invitation to come in here and burn this entire little city of 6,800 right down to the ground!"

THE RESEARCH program was conducted among 688 high school students in five all-Black schools in Atlanta. The SRC, with headquarters here, found the report had national implications. The study, entitled "Black Youth in a Southern Metropolis," made the following significant conclusions: About half the teenagers opposed Negroes fighting in Viet Nam. About 45 per cent do not believe whites usually can be trusted. Only 51 per cent of the teenagers agreed with the statement that "non-violence is always the best approach for Negroes to use." ON THE basis of its findings, the Southern Regional Council recommended a "national undertaking" to study the nation's B l a c k youth. Teachers and counselors at the A t l a n t a Black high schools distributed an 11page questionnaire. The responses were analyzed by sociologists from Emory University and Atlanta University, city school officials and SRC researchers. Approximately 94 per cent of the students in the study were between 14 and 18 years, students in g r a d e s nine through 12; 80 per cent BLACK TEENS already are indicating to researchers that they were natives of Atlanta; 42 will be far more aggressive in demanding their human ana per cent were living in "abcivil rights than today's black power militants.

The report f o u n d that 73 per cent of the students considered race relations in Atlanta ranged from poor to fair. It added that this fact "contradicts widely-held assumptions about the city's good race relations and the view of Atlanta as 'a city too busy to hate.'" The students listed as the "most important Negro leaders in Atlanta," were Dr. Martin Luther King, Georgia State Representative Julian Bond, a former official of the Student Non-Violent Coo r d i n a t i n g Committee (SNCC), and Stokely Carmichael, an advocate of black power. THE report declared the students at present "are not strong believers in b l a c k power, nor do they think the situation would be improved if Negroes were more separated from whites." However, it also noted that 21 per cent advocated carrying g u n s while protesting and 22 per cent believed civil rights demonstrations a c complished nothing. Further, 53 per cent of the youngsters agreed that " i f things don't get better in Atlanta, there will be riots." The reporter said "similar conclusions are reached in a number of other American cities."

PROFESSOR E . M. Peach is an economist at the Univ e r s l t y of O k 1 a homa. He made the a b o v e - remark in a Washington, D.C. I n t e r view with MUHAMMAD S P E A K S in reference Muhammad to the witchhunt against Ali M u h a m mad Ali, World Heavyweight Champion. "If he was a white man, there wouldn't be any trouble. He is getting the short end of the stick because he is a Black man. No one would dare question the sincerity of his religious devotion if he were white, I think he is a very fine man and boxer, and if he wants to say 'I'm the greatest,' that's his prerogative." The professor, who has written textbooks on economics, implied that part of the World Champion's troubles stem from some white Christian bigots who want to put tiie Black man in sports back in "his place." He added that sports has been the only field in the American economy that has ever really opened up to the Negro.

There man w i l l be a Reader's Digest article, I'm sure, on 'How Che was Killed!' " Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come, Professor Peach said quoting a well known maxim. " I think the time for the common man has come," he continued. " I n the last 50 years we have seen most of the kings of Western Europe go right down the drain. It doesn't make any difference whether they were good, bad or indifferent . . . they are gone. The only ones remaining are figureheads.

SOME AMERICANS in positions of power feel, Peach advised, that by getting rid of leaders and forcing t h e rest into complacent slots they can squelch the determined Negro drive f o r freedom, justice and equality. However, he added, it won't work. "If I read the American newspapers correctly," he said, "these same people feel that with the death of Che Guevara all of the problems of poverty and revolt a g a i n s t the establishment have been settled. And, of course, in a tiling like this guys can be important. Che was certainly important. If he has been killed, its important. "But that hasn't changed the basic situation one iota.

" T H E R E IS a new era . . . and I think . . . I hope . . . it is the era of the common man—an era where the common man is going to say 'Okay, if you vomit on t h e floor, I ' l l clean it up . . . But, it will cost you $4 per hour rather than $.60." Going on, the professor said he felt the establishment itself, had inadvertently brought the era around. " I really think the establishment had to have certain groups do certain things. They had to train the common man to do these things. Once the little man bad the training, he said 'Heck, who in Hell are you?' Before, when it was a matter of looking up to the pope or bishop or whoever ran the show, it was different. "But now man is beginning to question and a s k why? And the 'pie in the sky' thing is no longer going to be satisfactory to the poor sonof-a-gun who is getting t h e short end of the stick. I like this. I think it is one of the most exciting periods in the history of the world."

How M K u>K hi x-K 1 a n s in e n Vhusqinerade As Policemen? (Pan African Press) A Black police commander uncovered a nest of Ku Klux Klansmen operating undercover on the Chicago Police Department. COMMANDER George T. Sims, Jr., of the predominently Negro Filmore Dist r i c t was among the first to alert the department's Internal Inspections Division that policemen were being recruited by the Klan. An investigation soon Heath turned up six undercover Klansmen on the force. Officials estimate that as many as 100 registered Klansmen are on the Chicago police force, not counting officers with Klan sympathies. Kenneth Griffin, who said he manages the Tucker, Ga., national office of the National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, was asked how many C h i c a g o policemen are members of the Klan. He replied: " I reckon it'd take a computer to tell." In the home of one of the Chicago Klansmen, policeman Donald Heath, a search uncovered an arsenal of automatic weapons, ammunition, hand guns and gas masks. A Confederate flag

was drapped over two crosses next to the arsenal. AMONG THE Klan literature found in Heath's apartment were several thousand sheets of letterhead stationery, which read: "From the desk of the Grand Dragon, State of Illinois, Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan." Also found were several thousand applications f o r "citizenship" in the "invisible empire," anti-Negro and anti-Semitic literature, and two top-secret manuals of Klan: "The Seven Symbols of the Klan" and the "Kloran." James R. Venable, Imperial Wizard of the National Knights of the K u Klux Association of America, recently said that Patrolman Heath "is a highly respected Dragon of the Illinois Klans." Venable said his organization would rush legal assistance to the six Chicago policemen who were relieved from duty. Venable boasted that "there are least 18,000 or 19,000 Klansmen in Illinois. He said that " e v e r y policeman in the country, if he's white, ought to be part of it (the Klan)." ALTHOUGH Chicago Police Superintendent James B. Conlisk, Jr., said he was "shocked" to learn police officers were members of the Klan, Commander Sims asserted he was not surprised when news of the Klan infiltrators broke.

Muhammad: H o w to

to Ear Live

"What Allah, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, Has Revealed to Me." By E L I J A H MUHAMMAD Messenger of Allah Milk and bread are our best foods. Milk is our first food; bread is next. Man has been drinking milk continuously throughout his life — from cows, sheep, goats, camels, and buffalo. Since we still crave for this food, and drink it (for after leaving our mother's breast, we go to the breast of cattle the balance of our lives) we should raise these cattle under the most protected eye for their good health. THE PURE milk fat that we call butter should not be mixed with vegetable fats. It should be eaten without mixing it, like grandmother, and grandfather ate it. Substitute foods are destroying a great percentage of good health. Pure wheat makes the best bread. Having the knowledge that bread is easy to digest, we must remember that to get the best results out of wheat bread we must cook it thoroughly done This is to prevent it from doing too much rising, which will cause the stretching of the stomach and other intestines. BROWN THE bread deep as possible — to a color of deep brown. Do not make your rolls and loaves too thick. Make them thin so that the dough can be cooked and browned through and through. If not able to cook it thoroughly, due to its thickness, cook it a second time, by the same process that you did at first. Add veast (a little more than the first time) milk and water to the bread, stir it and let it sit and sour again. Let it rise good, knead it and then put It back into the oven to cook a second time. This second cooking double prepares it for digestion in our stomachs. Cooking the bread a third or fourth time makes it still better. WE K I L L ourselves in the way we prepare our food. We are too hasty in the preparation of our food. Some of the freshly-baked white bread is fancy to the eyes, but it will not do you a fancy good. It will shorten your life and soon kill you. Take plenty of time to prepare your food the right way for cooking and then cook it right, not in a haste. THINK about the order of "hot biscuits." This is a foolishjway-of looking at and taking bread for the stomach, fresh7 as soon as it comes out of the oven. No bread cooked the first day should be eaten that same day. You should wait a couple of days before eating it. There is no such thing as stale bread. Get away from this belief. The older the bread the better it is for your life. The little molds on the bread are not poison. Brush it off and eat the bread and if you eat some of the mold, It will not harm you. BACK 50, 60 or more years ago—when people did not take time to prepare their bread right (many did not use yeast, they used a kind of baking powder) — they were made sick time and again from the hasty preparation and eating of this bread. Many of our people fry dough on top of the stove, "pancakes," (slang, flap jacks). This bread, which you put in your stomachs to be digested, is hardly done.

America's Economic Downfall Approaches As The Messenger Warned Years Ago (Pan African Press) Long ago the Honorable Elijah Muhammad warned of the present-day economic crisis which is gripping America, including the diminishing value of the dollar on world and domestic markets. NOW E C O N O M I C experts are advocating lastditch remedies for the nation's ailing balance of payments and pressing for drastic moves to keep the dollar from depreciating as did the British pound. William F . Butler, vice president and chief economist of Chase Manhattan Bank of New York, said the President's tax and tightmoney proposals "may help in the short run, but they don't come fully to grips with the heart of the problem. What's needed is domestic action to deal with costs that are rising too fast." Only the Honorable Elijah Muhammad predicted that the dollar, once thought the most stable^ Currency in the world, would lose its prized position o^' the world market. Now analysts are seeing the dollar fall. "Further controls aren't the r e m e d y . They won't strengthen confidence in the dollar," states an editorial in the Monthly Economic Letter of the First National City Bank. President Johnson's call to curb tourist travel abroad, spur return of foreign profits and provide more financial aid for exporters are considered by experts as "feeble ef-

Following t h e inspection tour, Amry expressed his admiration and shook hands with the Chinese technicians. He said "the Chinese people are heroic and noble-minded.

A CHANGE from the gold s t a n d a r d , experts agree, would have repercussions for more than a decade. Although the mass news media in America are keeping the state of the U.S. economy and the value of the dollar out of the news — less there be a greater crisis — the economy is considered "critical" by bankers, industrialists and investors.

You andYour Extracted Teeth Now May he Replaced Immediately By Dr. Leo P. X McCallum Dental science has progressed to the point where frequently a patient may go to the dental office, have a few remaining teeth extracted and leave a few minutes later with a complete set of dentures replacing the missing teeth. WE SPEAK of this type of tooth replacement as immediate dentures. The denture may be a complete denture in that it replaces all of the missing teeth, or it may be a partial denture, in which case only a few teeth are being replaced. In either case, the missing teeth are carried on a plastic base, a metal base or a combination of the two—and the denture is of a removable type. Missing teeth are rarely replaced at the same sitting with a fixed bridge—unless the bridge is a temporary one. There are both advantages and disadvantages to this procedure. The chief advantage is that the patient is never without Dr. Leo teeth for any substantial period of time.

Pioneer Fighter For Freedom

Revives 'Forgotten' Black Militant—Paul

Robeson

"PAUL ROBESON: THE AMERICAN OTHELLO;" Written by EDWIN HOYT; published by the WORLD PUBLISHING COMPANY; 254 pp. $5.95. By Joseph L . Turner Negro Press International There have been other biographies about Paul Robeson; even an autobiography entitled "Here I Stand." All these books examined Robeson's activities, beliefs, speeches and politics in the light of what the '20s, '30s and '40s in America and the rest of the world were like for Robeson and for other Negroes. THE FACTS that Robeson was a famous Negro singer, won fame and academic honors in college, was a world traveler and eventually a communist are things generally known by most Americans. But that he was the first Negro to play Othello in America with great success, or that America made him and his people suffer indignities as second class citizens, while it fought wars for freedom in other lands, is not greatly talked about. Robeson was not a man to stand by and say or do nothing. He felt obligated to fight, to speak out and say w h a t he thought right or wrong. This is a good and important book in many, many different ways. One of the t h i n g s that makes Hoyt's biography important is it's being published now. Not only does he have the advantage of standing further away from the circumstances and giving it an all-encompassing, wellresearched coverage, but he is not influenced by the immediacy of the events. SECONDLY, Paul Robeson was not only the first, but the foremost champion of the Negro and the cause of freedom and equality for all oppressed p e o p l e everywhere. He has been "forgotten" in the last few years by the Negro and the world. In this biography, Hoyt reintroduces him, giving all the circumstances leading to his

fame and success, his sacrifices, his personal tragedies, with life and with his embracing and defending the communist line. We get to appreciate the self-righteousness white Americans can develop while ignoring the status of the Negro in America. There are, in the attempts at suppressing Robeson for his beliefs, similarities in the a c t i o n s and attitudes against other dynamic Negroes, such as Jack Johnson, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X , Cassius Clay and Dick Gregory. EVERYONE — black and white — should read this book, for it gives the personal tragedy of a b r a v e man. Hoyt does Robeson justice in his appraisal of his development and eventual advocation of communism. But of particular significance are the circumstances and influences which lead to the departure from the American brand of freedom and equality. Some excerpts from the book are most significant: "Paul was ahead of his -time. He was a little .off center, for the N e g r o WHEN IN HOUSTON, TEXAS VISIT

Urge High Court to Upset Louisiana's So-Called "Anti-Illegitimate Child" Law WASHINGTON — A landmark decision will be handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court in an appeal based on the case of a Black woman who died in New Orleans Charity Hospital in 1964. The question: Can the law ignore the due processes and equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment in regard to so-called illegitimate children?

It also was pointed out that Louisiana is the only state which denied children born out cf wedlock the right to sue for the wrongful death of their m o t h e r The Louisiana illegitimate birth rate of one in nine is higher than the national rate of one

in 15. THE lawyers said it was "highly unlikely" that a woman about to engage in nonmarital intercourse would be thinking of her own wrongful death. Neither would she be likely to know that any child that might result would not be able to sue someone who allegedly caused her death.

Checklist of Auto Safety Regulations WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Department of Transportation recently called for comment from industry, research and other interested groups on proposed safety regulations for motor vehicles. THE tentative regulations would require anti-theft devices, ban potentially dangerous exterior protrusions, order the installation of head rests and set standards for concealed headlights, among other things. The new proposed regulations include: 1. Installation by the manufacturer of headrests on all passenger cars to reduce the frequency and severity of neck injuries in rear end collisions. 2. REQUIRE passenger car locking systems to minimize accidental opening of rear doors by children from the inside and prevent opening from the outside. 3. Require improved hoodlatch devices. 4. Limit the use of ornamental exterior protrusions. 5. REQUIRE that every passenger car have a vehi-

cle identification number on a permanent part of the car in such a way that removal or alteration would show evidence of tampering. 6. Require that all passenger cars have an ignition locking system. 7. Extend to multi-purpose passenger vehicles safety standards for d o o r latches, hinges and locks that now apply to other vehicles.

by establishing in East Afri__£& a common market. The rail line being developed from Zambia to Dar E s Salaam is another example of regional planning, aimed at freeing landlocked African countries from dependence upon blood - sucking \i*;s. These are possibly the brightest happenings in Africa — if not the most dramatic — since the so-called year of freedom (1960) flashed its brilliant promise. Everything exists in Africa for an economic revolution or renaissance. There is * hydro-electric power and an almost infinite potential for such power; all of the essential ores and minerals for industrial development are there; all of the needed agricultural products for food and industry abound. BUT NOT one country in Africa is capable of attaining self - sufficiency by itself — self - sufficiency will have to be planned on a regional scale. Nigerian o i l must light directly t h e lamps of Senegal and Guinea.

The alurninum of Ghana must be made into pots for Gabon and the Central African Republic. The iron ore from Liberia and the other essential minerals from the Congo can unite for a steel industry. The livestock of Chad and the Upper Volta can be developed for marketing in other protein - poor African countries. African leaders will make these adjustments or their people will forever remain a colonial people. Wouldn't it be ridiculous for Chicago to have to sell its meat in Paris, only to

have New York go to Paris to buy the same meat? And suppose Pittsburgh steel or Detroit automobiles had first to be sold to London? Well, the fact is there could never have been a Chicago, or a Pittsburgh, or a Detroit, if the American states had been forced to exist as separate national entities. These American industries resulted from a national continental effort. African National per capita income will continue at about $60 per year.

the creation of a larger sovereign regional unit. It is inevitable that if the present leaders will not take this road willingly, then the people, weary of the stalled revolution, will do so themselves. The mere symbols of sovereignty can never take the place of its true substance: the capability of standing on one's own t w o feet without let or hindrance from the white man, whether he be in the governor's chair in one's country or in the overseas counting house.

Defense Corps Government o f f i c i a l s charged that the U.S., Saudi Arabian and ousted Yemeni Royalists had teamed in an effort to overthrow the republican government. They said the invaders used mercenaries in their plot. H o w e v e r , officials declared, "the attempt met w i t h powerful counter-attacks from the government and people of Yemen."

Plan to Make Aged Pay More for Health Care Called 'Disgraceful' by Critics WASHINGTON—Congress appears to be in hot water again, this time over plans to hike the premium elderly, and in most cases unemployed, people must pay to obtain Medicare benefits so the purses of already rich doctors can be fattened. "IT'S disgraceful," s a i d National Council for Senior Citizens director William R. Hutton. He added that the elderly premium escalations means the aged are "having to pay for the failure of Congress to prevent the escalation of doctors' fees."

Plus Greed Equals Disaster

By Andrew G. Paschal Pan African Press If President Johnson and his associates in the business of destruction knew the history of Viet Nam before launching their-war of aggression V- assuming their "minds to be fairly comprehensive—they readily would have conceived that the only possible victory they could hope to achieve in Viet Nam would be the total destruction of all the people of Viet Nam. THEIR concept of a cheap and quick victory is due primarily to the fact that they try to think of Viet Nam as two nations and two separate peoples when actually and in reality they are ONE—ONE NATION, ONE PEOPLE — more unified than we could hope to be within the n e x t thousand years! The Vietnamese culture is over two thousand years old, including the paleolithic and the bronze ages; America's culture was copied from Europe. The political unity of Viet Nam has existed for over a thousand years. As one people, they have fought and turned back the hordes of invaders. Our unity as a nation is less than two hundred years' existence and d u r i n g this short period, the nation has been threatened by no invaders; our best and biggest

war was among ourselves, the Civil War. Yet America feels that she is in a position to t e a c h the Vietnamese. Teach them what? This attitude is due to the fact that greed, duplicity, conceit and arrogance keeps American officials ignorant. A b r i e f statement of that history, which Johnson yet may read and learn, is as follows:

IN THE year 40, the first g r e a t insurrection against foreign domination broke out, led by the Trung Sisters.

Last week Reggie Harding, a phenomenal 1-foot center who went straight into the professional ranks with the Detroit Pistons then Chicago Bulls basketball teams right after finishing high school, revealed to MUHAMMAD SPEAKS the racial quota system adhered to by the vast majority of pro teams, and spoke out against the blatant policy of team owners who keep inept white athletes on their squads at $15,000 to $20,000 a year in order to maintain a predominantly white team, while highly competent black athletes never get a chance.

The two are different, though they do not conflict, he argues. The aim of psychotherapy is "to heal the soul, to make it healthy," whereas the aim of religion is "to save the soul." TWO OF Viktor Frankl's books are available in Eng1 i s h: The Doctor and the Soul, published by Knopf, and Man's Search for Meaning, which this column has very briefly summarized. The latter is available in a paperback edition published by W a s h i n g t o n Square Press. Both books are exciting reading. Writing about life in con-

centration c a m p s , Frankl said the most depressing aspect of the camps was not knowing how long you would remain there. Many prisoners stopped living for the future and regressed to the past or just vegetated. But some achieved a v i c t o r y t h r o u g h their suffering, "turning life into an inner triumph." Frankl repeatedly quotes a line from Nietzsche, "He who has a why to live for can bear with almost any how." For e x a m p l e , one prisoner offered God his own sufferings and death for the sake of° someone he loved. That man, V i k t o r Frankl noted, suffered very well, because his suffering had some meaning. (ANP Feature.)

"I've noticed many white owners in sports seem quite surprised—even hurt—when one of their beloved Black players stands up to them, rather than beat around the bush or go around corners," Reggie Harding said in relating his varied experiences in the world of professional sports. Harding said the w h i t e man seems to be surprised — even hurt — when a Black man stands up to him and t a l k s straight, instead of going around corners. "AND DON'T think t h e y can't blackball you," he continued. "The Pistons suspended me for a season after I had a run-in with some policemen who r a i d e d my birthday party, claiming I was a patron of a disorderly house. I wasn't convicted of anything, but I was suspended, anyway. " S i n c e I couldn't play basketball, I tried out for some professional football teams — I used to play football in high school. T h e y

were willing to sign me for the following year, but said they didn't want to cause any conflict with the National Basketball Association by letting me play that season. In short, I was blackballed by pro sports throughout America." Harding cited another incident where a Black player held out for a raise after a white boy got one. " T H E Y TORE up this white boy's three-year -contract, and gave him a new one with a big raise, something they're not supposed to do. When Eddie Miles, a Black player, found out abut this, he protested that he had been as valuable as the white player and held out for a raise. They gave Miles 24 hours to report to the team and told him he would be fined $1,000 for every day he held out after that. Miles has a big family. He came in." Harding said the only way Black athletes can get an even break is to unite and demand some reforms.

Reggie Harding " I R E A L I Z E , " he added, "that it's hard for a man with a family to run down the kind of money pro sports pay, but a few months sacrifice could result in several years of much higher pay. And until there is some kind of unity, what happened to me and many others will continue to happen to Black athletes."

"This is the first time in my life that I have e v e r seen a group of Negroes work together as effectively as they did," Howard emphasized." They kept out 100 per cent of the Black students.

Rebellion of Black Youth

FAMILY OX is lead home by young South Vietnamese girl after American bombing attack on her village located some eight miles

How They Try to Rob Blacks of Salvation (Continued on page 27)

rather parallels repression. Professor Toynbee advises America ". . . You cannot let the Muslim idea win." But, where did the Muslim idea originate; whose idea is it that he wants America to oppose? The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has taught us that from the Books of Genesis to Revelations in the Bible and the Holy Quran, there is an ever-repeated prophecy that in the last days of this world, Allah, < God, would separate His people from their wicked < enslavers. -The~prophets did not speak

of themselves; they only revealed the Divine Will of God. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, in advocating separation as the solution to the problems facing black and white America today, is only fulfilling that which the prophets predicted he would say and do long before Mr. M u h a m m a d was born. Therefore, to oppose the idea of separation is to come into opposition to the Will of God, which will bring about the t o t a l destruction of America. Since it is written that God would save us from the de-

struction of Western civilization, we (so-called Negroes) cannot agree, after our eyes have been opened, with this evil plan to assimilate ourselves into this decadent civilization which is headed for total destruction. This is a clear manifestation of the wickness of this people that, after enslaving us for 400 years, rather then to see us free and independent on some of this earth that we can call our own, their greatest desire, as Messenger Muhammad teaches us, is to take us to hell with them.

MUHAMMAD S P E A K S

JANUARY 12, 1968

The Messenger of Allah Presents

S|)e iRusiltm ftogram tjat tfje jfflusilims; S l a n t This is the question asked most frequently by both the whites and the blacks. The answers to this question I shall state as simply as possible. 1. We want freedom. We want a full and complete freedom. 2. We want justice. Equal justice under the law. We want justice applied equally to all, regardless of creed or class or color. 3. We want equality of opportunity. We want equal membership in society with the best in civilized society. 4. We want our people in America whose parents or grandparents were descendants from slaves, to be allowed to establish a separate state or territory of their own—either on this continent or elsewhere. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to provide such land and that the area must be fertile and minerally rich. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to maintain and supply our needs in this separate territTjfy for the next 20 to 25 years—until we are able to produce and supply our own needs. Since we cannot get along with them in peace and equality, after giving them 400 yea*s of our sweat and blood and receiving in return some of the worst treatment human beings have ever experienced, we believe our contributions to this land and the suffering forced upon us by white A m e r i c a , justifies our demand for complete separation in -a state or territory of our own. 5. We want freedom for a l l B e l i e v e r s of I s l a m now held in federal prisons. We want freedom for a l l black men and women now under death sentence in innumerable prisons in the North as well as the South. We want e v e r y black m a n and woman to have the freedom to accept or reject being separated from the s l a v e m a s t e r ' s children and establish a land of their own. We know that the above plan for the solution of the black and white conflict is the best and only answer to the problem between two people.

6 We want an immediate end to the police brutality and mob attacks against the socalled Negro throughout the United States. We believe that the F e d e r a l government should intercede to see that black men and women tried in white courts receive justice in accordance with the laws of the land—or allow us to build a new nation for ourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom and liberty. 7. As long as we are not allowed to establish a state or territory of our own, we demand not only equal justice under the laws of the United States, but equal employment opportunities—NOW! We do not believe that after 400 y e a r s of free or nearly free labor, sweat and blood, which has helped A m e r i c a become rich and powerful, that so many thousands of black people should have to subsist on relief, charity or live in poor houses. 8. We want the government of the United States to exempt our people from A L L taxation as long as we are deprived of equal justice under the laws of the land. 9. We want equal education—but separate schools up to 16 for boys and 18 for girls on the condition that the girls be sent to women's colleges and universities. We want a l l black children educated, taught and trained by their own teachers. Under such schooling system we believe we w i l l make a better nation of people. T h e United States government should provide, free, a l l necessary text books and equipment, schools and college buildings. T h e M u s l i m teachers shall be left free to teach and t r a i n their people in the w a y of righteousness, decency and self respect. 10. We believe that i n t e r m a r r i a g e or race mixing should be prohibited. We want the religion of I s l a m taught without hinderance or suppression. These are some of the things that we, the M u s l i m s , want for our people in North America.

W j a t tfje iHusfltms; ^ e l t e u e 1. W E B E L I E V E in the One God Whose proper Name is Allah. 2. W E B E L I E V E in the Holy Qur-an and in the Scriptures of all the Prophets of God. 3. W E B E L I E V E in the truth of the Bible, but we believe that it has been tampered with and must be reinterpreted so that mankind will not be snared by the falsehoods that have been added to it. 4. W E B E L I E V E in A l l a h ' s Prophets and the Scriptures they brought to the people. 5. W E B E L I E V E in the resurrection of the dead—not in p h y s i c a l resurrection—but in mental resurrection. We believe that the socalled Negroes are most in need of mental resurrection; therefore, they w i l l be resurrected first.

F u r t h e r m o r e , we believe we are the people of God's choice, as it has been written, that God would choose the rejected and the despised. We can find no other persons fitting this description in these last days more than the so-called Negroes in A m e r i c a . We believe in the resurrection of the righteous. 6. W E B E L I E V E in the judgement; we believe this first judgement w i l l take place as God revealed, in A m e r i c a . . . 7. W E B E L I E V E this is the time in history for the separation of the so-called Negroes and the so-called white A m e r i c a n s . We believe the black m a n should be freed in name as well as in fact. B y this we mean that he should be freed from the names imposed upon h i m by h i s former slave m a s t e r s . Names which identified h i m as being the slave m a s t e r ' s s l a v e . We believe that if we are free indeed, we should go in our own people's names—the black peoples of the earth.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad

8. W E B E L I E V E in justice for a l l , whether in God or not; we believe as others, that we are due equal justice as h u m a n beings. We believe in equality—as a nation — of equals. We do not believe that we are equal with our slave masters in the status of "freed slaves." We recognize and respect American citizens as independent peoples and we respect their laws which govern this nation. 9. W E B E L I E V E that the offer of integration is hypocritical and is made by those who are trying to deceive the black peoples into believing that their 400-year-old open enemies of freedom, justice and equality are, all of a sudden, their "friends." Furthermore, we believe that such deception is intended to prevent black people from realizing that the time in history has arrived for the separation from the whites of this nation. If the white people are truthful about their professed friendship toward the socalled Negro, they can prove it by dividing up A m e r i c a with their s l a v e s . We do not believe that A m e r i c a w i l l ever be able to furnish enough jobs for her own millions of unemployed, in addition to jobs for the 20,000,000 black people as w e l l . 10. W E B E L I E V E that we who declared ourselves to be righteous M u s l i m s , should not participate in w a r s which take the lives of humans. We do not believe this nation should force us to take part i n such w a r s , for we have nothing to gain from it unless A m e r i c a agrees to gi^e us the necessary territory wherein we m a y have something to fight for. 11. W E B E L I E V E our women should be respected and protected as the women of other nationalities are respected and protected. 12. W E B E L I E V E that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. F a r d Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited "Messiah" of the Christians and the "Mahdi" of the Muslims. We believe further and lastly that Allah is God and besides H I M there is no God and He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we all can live in peace together.
