These were the quiet words of Mrs. Mae Mallory in Cleveland, Ohio, via telephone to her mother and daughter in New York City, just before the courageous 15-year-old freedom .fighter was back behind bars again after an eightday "taste of liberty."

Mrs. Mallory's "out" again on bond, but she has spent more than a year in a Cleveland jail and is still fighting exContinued on Page 2)

"This aggravated me so much that I said to them, 'Yes, you will get her. There is one question, however, I want to ask you.

MRS. BROWN expressed appreciation to MUHAMMAD SPEAKS for giving extensive coverage to her daughter's fight against extradition from Ohio to North Carolina and for revealing the facts in her case.

"I often talk with my sister, who is a Muslim, about Mae and the plight of black people in this country, as I also do with my uncle, who has been a follower of Elijah Muhammad for the last 30 years," she revealed.

A. Philip Randolph What are the bitter fruits of jobs by "race" and low wages? What are the side side-effects of unemployment in the Negro communities of the nation'?

A. Philip Randolph, founder and president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and a vice president of the AFL-CIO, in this'final installment of his threepart interview with Muhammad Speaks, discusses these a<nd other questions in his frank, hard-hitting analysis of the American labor scene, with emphasis on the desperate unemployment situation as it pertains to the Negro.

Take it from me. If there was 153 per cent unemployment among white workers i in the United States there ! would be chaos and confusion everywhere and marches all over the nation. But black workers don't seem to realize what is going on.

Now, what does that mean?

That means that if your exports are lower than your imports, then you have an unfavorable balance of trade and an unfavorable balance of payments.

Now, the marketability of United States products is based on the element of costs.

The foundations" of the element of costs is wages—the labor costs. Therefore, vou

take the big industrialists and financiers in this country, what are they doing?

They are fighting any movement on the part of the workers to increase their wages on the grounds that increasing wages makes for inflation, and with inflation the value of the dollar goes down.

The working class of this country faces a tragic problem. Only less tragic than the problem black workers face.

I don't see that the American labor movement understands that t h o r o u g h l y and completely. It is a serious question.

MUHAMMAD S P E A K S :

Is there any effort or inclination on the part of the organized labor movement to move into two areas, which observers have called important, to organize (1) workers in the South and (2) those having so-called white collar jobs ?

Number two. so far as white-collar workers are concerned, they are in the process of working on that.

"O Allah, there is none who can withhold what Thou grantest. and there is none who can give what Thou withholdest, and greatness does not benefit any possessor of greatness as against Thee."

Let you and me who believe learn and recite this prayer for the glory and honour, praise and thanks to Allah Who is blessing us, the Lostfound of our people, for guiding us on the right path.

NEW YORK—The Rev. Wyatt Tee Walker, executive director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, speaking here at a conference on civil disobedience gave the following definition of an "unjust law": "An unjust law is any law that . J ' imposed o""ffi¥* rmiiul ly , Walker said, "that does not apply to the majority that enacted and enforces the law; further, it is unjust if the minority upon whom it is imposed had no chance to participate in the making of the law."

Walker devoted the major part of his address to the anti-segregation struggle waged by Negroes in Albany, Ga., a conflict still unresolved.

"One naked truth is clear — Albany will never be the same again. You have not heard the last of that Southwest Georgia city," he said.

Stating that "we are just digging in on the beaches" 100 years after "Emancipation," he said he believed "we have the making of a social revolution on our hands."

NONVIOLENT direct action is the Negro's most effective and perhaps only revolutionary instrument, the integration leader believes.

"I use the word 'revolutionary' advisedly," said Rev. Walker.

"It is a good word. This nation could never have been born without it. It is a shame that we have let it come into disrepute.

If the Negro dilemma—rather the American dilemma—is to be resolved or even diminished, we must have nothing short of a revolution.

James B a l d w i n , said Rev. Walker, deftly described what it is like for white America in his book, "The Fire, Next Time," said Baldwin.

"Try to imagine how you would feel if you woke up one morning to find the sun shining and the stars all aflame. You would be frightened because it is out of the order of nature.

He has thus brought disgrace not only to himself, his state, but to his race. Not only is it hard to believe senseless and stupid outbursts coming f r o m such quarters, it is heartbreaking to think it comes from a man whose presence among the Africans he so brutally attacked was paid for by American tax payers.

Comparing his comments with t h o s e of the highly - esteemed Ralph McGill, one is at once aware of Mr. McGill's objective knowledge of the African personality and his maturity of understanding.

To the Southern senator, the average African is not capable of making decisions for himself.

It seems that he must call on people like the senator from Louisiana to do his t h i n k i n g for him — despite the fact that the African has been thinking f o r himself long before the first European visited Africa's shores.

Plan' for Negroes?

LOUISVILLE, Ky.—A sort of ".Marshall Plan" for the Negro population in this country was visualized last week by an official of the N a t i o n a l Urban League.

He is Guichard Parris, New York, the league's director of public relations. He was here completing plans for the national Urban League conference in Louisville in August, 1964.

The Negro can become a productive citizen, with help, or he can become an ever - increasing burden on welfare rolls, Parris said.

"THE TIME has come," he continued, "for a massive crash program to do for the Negro population in this nation what has been done for peoples of other countries. If we can do it for other nations, we can do it for our own people."

Despite the progress made by the Negro, the gap between his economic position and that of the white is increasing rather than decreasing, Parris declared.

"What disturbs us in the league is this frightful widening of the economic gap," he added.

Consulting figures, he said the average annual income for a Negro family today is 53,233 compared with 55,835 for the white family, a gap of 45 per cent. A few years ago the gap was 43 per cent.

BY JOHN HENRIK

CLARKE

T H I S B O O K I S a good introduction to the subject Africa, particularly for people who have no prior knowledge of this continent and its people. The author takes an entirely.... new approach to this subject; instead of writing a history o P the European occupation of Africa (that most people think of as African history), he attempts to begin at the beginning.

In doing this, he gives a good indication of Africa's age and potential richness. He also shows that Africans did not wait in darkness for Europeans to bring the light.

T o the best of my knowledge, Mr. Williams is the first writer to make use of the researches of Dr. L . S. B . Leakey and the results of his search in Africa for traces and clues of the earliest man.

According to the author's account: "For many years, anthropologists had believed that East Africa held the remnants of the oldest prehistoric man. But the years of scrabbling, digging and searching that had been fruitless until the momentous day in July, 1959 when jubilant scientist returned to their uncomfortable camp and announced that Zinjanthropus had been found and another door to the past had been opened . . . Zinjanthropus lived among wild sheep, pigs and baboons all of which were much larger than now.

Nine million seven hundred fifty thousand fascinating years passed since then and much of Africa has been explored, settled and exploited. Parts of it. however, remain unknown."

After giving the reader a capsule history of Africa's beginning, the author unfolds the vast panorama that is Africa : the great Egyptian dynasties, the Greeks and Romans, the Ottoman and Arab empires, the great West African empires, the early Portuguese and Dutch explorers, the existing cultures found by the explorers, the slave trade, the 19th century explorers such as Livingstone and Stanley, and the resultant European expansion in Africa.

The section of the book that deals with the coming of the Europeans to Africa has many pictures of European empire builders and not enough pictures of the African warrior nationalists who resisted them. The story of why and how 1 4 R a t i f y Poll T a x the Europeans came to Africa needs to be retold with more attention given to the thought and action of the Africans Ban; 2 4 More t o G o during this important period in their history.

FALLACY OF THE "FREE WORLD"

G r i m History O f G r e e n w o o d , Miss.

(Special to Muhammad Speaks) G R E E N W O O D , Miss.—Imbedded in the r e c o r d of America—North and South— is the bloody story of persistent and courageous efforts of Negroes to regain their right to the elemental demands of human beings.

Thus; between 1807 and 1864. there were no less and probably more than 14' slave revolts in the State of Mississippi in which Negroes used force in attempts to break the chains of oppression and degredation.

AND T H U S it is still in Mississippi. 100 years after a Civil War and an Emancipation Proclamation which supposedly freed black America.

But the 20th Century revolt of Negroes here in Greenwood is a non-violent one by their own design.

Here, after 100 years of "freedom," N e g r o e s , who comprise more than half of this city's population of 20,436 Americans, are simply trying to register to vote—to secure a right that has been denied them for 400 years and which CHILDREN O F G R E E N W O O D : Their Forebearers Revolted against Slave Rule. Now, 100 years a f t e r the others take for granted.

And meanwhile, the mounting assault against the semislave status of the Negro appears headed for a climax— a climax which some predict will force the intervention of Federal troops if some semblance of democracy is to be achieved.

But there is another hunger—a disease-carrying "hidden hunger." which gnaws at the bodies of the undernourished 'from the time thev are born until they die.

This is the hunger of ina d e q u a t e nutrition, which leaves the h e a l t h of the chronically underfed open on all sides to attack from disease and death.

M A N Y D I S E A S E S are direct results of a lack of particular food elements. Among them arc scurvy, pelegra and beri-beri. Other diseases such as measles, pneumonia and tuberculosis find little resistance among those who are undernourished.

In many of those countries the every-day meals of the people, young and old, are insufficient by health standards.

M I L L I O N S of children go without milk after they have been weaned and child mortality between the ages of one and five is often 15 times higher than in places where the food-health level is adequate.

Thus malnutrition, the "bidden hunger." is recognized as a major factor in low health levels among a great part of the world's population.

The pathetic paradox of a world capable of producing enormous amounts of food is that the greatest increase in food production is in those countries where it is needed the most.

F O O D O U T P U T may be SO high in some countries that local surpluses accumulate. But these surpluses do not move into international

trade c b i e f I y because the countries needing more food do not have the money to buy them.

In Japan, the yield per hectare (about 2l/2 acres) of arable land is approximate!} three to four times the yield per hectare in India ; Europe obtains four times as much meat and milk per head of cattle as are obtained in Latin America and the Near East, seven times as much as in Africa and ten times as much as the F a r East.

Is Man's Best Friend A Carrier of Cancer?

WASHINGTON — The family dog long has been touted as man's "best friend," but a government researcher says "Fido" may be guilty of spreading the dreaded cancer disease.

Dr. Michael B. Shimkin of the National Cancer Institute near Washington said evidence points to viruses as causes of some types of human cancer—and family pets and other animals have cancers and, presumably, could transmit them by way of viruses, to man, he suggested.

"Dogs are the animals with which many Americans have the closest contact," Dr. Shimkin wrote in a government publication, "and, in our culture, they seem to be considered as threeyear-old children with fur. Until now, the possible neoplastic (tumor-producing) significance of contact with dogs has not been

By JOSEPH WALKER A L B A N Y , N . Y.—State Senator James L . Watson ( Democrat I of the 2 1st District, which encompasses Central Harlem, is one of six Negroes in the legislature of New York State. H e has been in the state senate for nine tears, which is his first elective office.

The other Negro representatives are colleagues Ivan Warner in the -mate and Assemblymen iicrtram L . Baker. I.lord E . I)ickens, Thomas R. Jones and Mark T . Southall, all from New York City.

Sen. Watson has lived in Harlem all of his life. "I am not trying to run a v. ay from my people and flee to the suburbs." he told MUHAMMAD SPEAKS in an exclusive interview here.

He is a graduate of DeWitt Clinton High School and attended New York University a n d Brooklyn Law School. He served for three and a half years in the U.S. Army with the 92nd Infantry Division, fought in Italy where he was wounded three times and decorated on several occasions for heroic combat missions.

SEN. WATSON is married and has three children His late father. James S. Watson, was the first Negro judge in New York State.

On February 4 Sen. Watson introduced a bill in the senate to provide equality of religious freedom and lights to all faiths, including the followers of the

Honorable Elijah Muhammad, in New York State's penal and correctional institutions.

"There is no evidence that has been introduced to me to indicate that the Muslim faith is a bad or detrimental faith." Watson said.

"ON THE contrary, from all that I have been able to determine, have read and seen, tne amount of recidivism among inmates who are converted to the Muslim faith is far less than the amount of recidivism of other faiths." he remarked.

Following are other questions

Massacre of 1908

Rep. James H? Quillen of Tennessee sponsored the bill to give back full citizenship . to Robert E . Lee, leader of . the Confederate Armv in the j Civil War.

THE AMISTAD SOCIETY'S executive committee, shown at a recent Chicago meeting, is composed of four high school history teachers, a former secondary school instructor and several college history majors. In the front row (left to right) are B. Young, history teacher, Thornton High School; Sterling Stuckey, history teacher, Wendell Phillips High school; Mrs. Cornelia Johnson, John Bracey, history major, Roosevelt University;

Mary Joanes, history major, Chicago Teachers College, and Owen Lawson, history major, Roosevelt University. Back row (left to right) are Bennett Johnson, supervisor, Illinois State Employment Service, and former public high school physics teacher; Thomas Higginbotham, English and history teacher, Wendell Phillips High School, and Don Sykes, history teacher, Wendell Phillips High School.

New Negro History Society

The Negro massacre of 1908 in Springfield. 111., home of Abraham Lincoln, gave impetus to the founding of the NAACP.

Quillen, in giving his "reason* for the move, said (with a straight face) he felt that \ since Winston Churchill, former British Prime .Minister and World War I I leader, has been voted American citizenship by Congress, he could not see why Lee should not be accorded the same right.

Observers, while failing to grasp Ouillen's analog}, did wonder about other traitors such as John Wilkes Booth

Crispus Attucks

A National Holiday For A Negro Hero?

A 11 American holidays, like the song about Christmas, are "white."

And this despite the presence of 20,000.000 black Americans and their incredible contributions which have immeasurably enriched and advanced the nation.

But now a major Xegro business firm is making a move to secure enactment of a national holiday in honor of one federally-neglected American patriot.

T H E C O M P A N Y : Chicago Metropolitan Mutual Assurance Company.

PAINTING DEPICTING Crispus Attucks leading charge against British soldiers in Boston Commons is viewed by (from left) Samuel B. Stratton, lecturer on Negro History at the University of Chicago; George S. Harris, president, Chicago Metropolitan Mutual As-

surance company; Alton D a v i s , director, American Negro Emancipation Centennial Authority, and Lerone Bennett, author of "Before the Mayflower," a book on the Negro in history.

CRISPUS ATTUCK S name and those of four other patriots are inscribed on this monument ir Boston, where "the foundation of A m e r i c a n Independence was laid" on March 5, 1770.

The 193rd Anniversary of the

"'The world has heard of him and more, the English -]>eaking world will never for; get the noble, daring and ex! disable rashness of Attacks in the Holy cause of Liberty," the President declared.

However, if they did not forget it, they soon buried it.

But if the national campaign led by Metropolitan's president George S. Harris is successful, Adams' words may yet be fulfilled.

George S. Harris T H E CANDIDATE: the intrepid C r i s p u s Attucks. acknowledged as the first man to die fighting for the independence of the .American people during the Boston Massacre, some five years before the battle of Lexington.

Petitions will go to President Kennedy asking that he proclaim a national holiday in honor of Attucks.

Metropolitan has already established the date of March 5, the day Attucks died,.as an official holiday for its employees, and is encouraging other firms to do the same.

A T T U C K S . omitted from most U.S. history hooks, led a group of white sailors against a squadron of Britisli troops in Boston Commons in 1770. with the avowed objective of driving them out of the city.

An escaped slave, he was then a sailor on a whaling ship.

Par from "accidentally" attacking the British he had been long regarded as an "inflammatory agitator" who associated with such "subversives" as Paul Revere and Samuel Adams along the Boston docks.

SO D E E P was the shock and indignation over the Bos-

leaders and is regarded as the most formidable attempt to secure a national holiday named for a Negro.

Harris pointed out that the drive for a petition to President Kennedy is not directed towards a "segregated holiday."

He explained that Crispus Attucks and the four white colonists "died for all Americans and they deserve to be honored by all Americans." " A t the same t i m e , " Harris added. "Americans should be proud to announce to the world that a Negro, an ex-slave, was. the first to die for freedom."

Al Hibbler In Ala. B I R M I N G H A M . Ala.—The appearance of Negro entertainers in the front ranks of civil rights demonstrators is expected to i n still new vigor and vitality into the South-wide campaign to batter down racial barriers.

Noted blind singer, A l Hibbler, who took part in peaceful demon-

strations here, was arrested and jailed. He later was released by police who claimed he was taken into custody "by mistake," despite the advance news revealing his plan to join the demonstrators.

Hibbler followed the l e a d of Comedian Dick G r e g o r y who

spurred the register-to-vote-drive in Greenwood, Miss.

Southern police are adopting the tactic of not arresting prominent Negroes who participate in antisegregation demonstrations, but Birmingham's Safety Commissioner T. Eugene Connor of B i r m ingham swore he'd fill up the jails with demonstrators.

Meanwhile, the call has gone out to other Negro entertainers to join the fight. I t was reported Sammy Davis Jr., and bandleader Ray Charles, who. like Hibbler. is blind, will also participate.

BLIND SINGER Al Hibbler (center) is among entertainers adding additional drive to Negroes' push for freedom in the South. Store mannequin (rear) seems to throw up her hands in consternation at Negroes' struggle for equality under the law.
