NEWS IN BRIEF

N i x o n f a v o r i n g S. A f r i c a

WASHINGTON — (AWA) — The Nixon administration has authorized US Steel Corporation to invest $7 -1/2 million, buying 15 per cent of African Triangle Mining, a firm mainly involved in exploiting copper, zinc, and precious stones in South West Africa and Botswana but which also has a platinum mine in South Africa's Sekhukhuneland. Under Kennedy and Johnson there was re - investment, but officially no new US investment in South Africa.

Mid-east B l a c k s vs. Spain MOROCCO RECENTLY accused Spain of sending in troops to gun down the people of mineral - rich Spanish Sahara. The Muslim people of the area have been building a struggle to rid themselves of Spanish colonialists. In a recent clash near Tetuan, the capital of so - called Spanish Morocco, 37 citizens were killed and 82 wounded. Spain claimed that only "two Negro foreigners from the exterior" had been shot for "stirring up trouble".

The statement, ironically enough, exposes to the world that the Arabs of this region are Black people. The U.S. is financing the Spanish dictatorship's attempt to hold on to the phosphate rich territory. The UN has called for a vote by the 30.000 residents but the "Free World" opposes the democratic election process.

Black media workers meet

By John Woodford JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. A national conference of Black media workers was held last week in Jefferson city. Lincoln University, a school which had the only j o u r n a l i s m department on a predominantly Black campus until recently, was selected as the conference site.

UPPERMOST IN the minds of most of the 35 news gatherers or j o u r n a l i s m teachers from all over the country was the Earl Caldwell case.

Caldwell is the New York Times correspondent facing a jail sentence for refusing to turn over his notes to or testify before a secret federal grand jury.

The grand j u r y is not investigating a specific crime.

I t is merely fishing for information about the Black Panther Party.

O r g a n i z e d to defend C a l d w e l l and a l l other newsmen's First Amendment r i g h t s , the conference p a r t i c i p a n t s saw the government's tactics as an attempt to discredit Black newsmen in the eyes of the Black community.

THE MOVE would also — if Caldwell caved in easily — let the Black government spies in the media do their squealing and informing more easily.

Caldwell told the group that the editor of Newsday, a Long Island (N.Y.) paper, .had already told Justice

Department officials that young Black reporters could be used in many investigative missions against B l a c k community groups.

Looking and talking like super - militant stereotypes, as many find it easy to do, they can win the confidence of many individuals who are targeted for investigation.

That was reportedly the Newsday editor's thinking.

The whites who control the mass media have apparently intimidated many of the Black media workers who attended the conference. (The Justice Department was sponsoring a counter conference in Washington at the same time; this aroused many in Jefferson City to talk too much about what spies might do and not enough about what they themselves should be doing.)

THE CONFERENCE ignored or avoided several good proposals. Two Black women, one from Oakland and the other from Boston, pointed out that an organization of Black media workers should include pressmen, printers, clerks, secretaries, janitors and all other media workers — not just those who are publicized.

Other delegates supported a resolution condemning the Viet Nam war as racist and illegal.

It called for an immediate withdrawal from Southeast Asia. It also called upon those gathered, at the. conference to vow to reflect the Black

Report f o r

j u s t i c e

The United States' so-called peace proposal to settle the Middle-east conflict was strongly rejected by the Arab people. The U.S. plan demands Arab acknowledgement of Israelis right to exist as a Zionist racist state on Arab soil. It also fails to recognize the right of the Palestinian people for self-determination and nationhood.

AL FATEH radio denounced the U.S. plan and said that, "the Arab masses must foil this American maneuver, which is aimed at enforcing a dictated solution that would maintain the existence of the Zionist entity in Palestine."

The Jewish citizens' right to exist is and always has been accepted — and even defended — by the Arab people for thousands of years.

A spokesman for the Palestine Liberation Movement in Beirut declared that Washington's socalled peace effort merely

shows "that we have to continue our struggle," until we establish a Palestinian State where M u s l i m s .

Christians and Jews can be regarded as equal.

Baghdad charged that Roger uses the term "peace" only as "a mask" to deceive and divide the Arabs. Damascus radio criticized the U.S. plan which would reward Israel for her aggressive expansionist policy.

Algeria, Libya and the Sudan also rejected the U.S. proposal because it does not recognize the national aspiration of the Palestinian people.

In his address, in Benghazi Sport Stadium, as a part of a week long celebration marking the evacuation of the last U.S. soldier from Libyan territory, Nasser told the one hundred thousand-strong rally: "There is talk about a plan for evacuation from occupied Arab t e r r i t o r y w i t h the exception of the Golan Heights of Syria, but I tell you in the name of your brother in Egypt,

communities' near - total opposition to the war that is making them the people victimized by the war second only to the Asians. Oddly enough prominent Black journalists said that opposition' to the war was only a "white thing".

Another proposal would have had the group dedicate itself to publicizing and distributing the petitions to the United Nations condemning U.S. genocide against all minority nationalities. il Astonishing., enough, a majority would not go along

with these proposals. They had talked a lot about genodide and racism but when it' came to action it seemed to some that too many were not as progressive as the Black community. Many reflected a great concern for their white employers.

The conference members left much room for their own improvement. They certainly demonstrated that they cannot speak f o r the B l a c k community at this time. In the future the community can j u d g e ...w.h ei.t.h^x . a n y . improvement has been made.

who refuse any compromises for withdrawal, that the Golan Heights comes before the Suez Canal...Withdrawal must be from the Golan first and Jerusalem as well."

Nasser, who was frequently interrupted by wild applause, was the last speaker at the rally, after Colonel Muammer Al-Khadafi head of the revolutionary council, and Syrian President NuruddinAlatasi.

"WE SHALL never agree to Israel's or America's condition imposed on us. The people of Egypt are determined to fight" to defend the Arab's legal right, Nasser declared.

In full agreement with the Arab leaders rejection of surrender, the crowd chanted "with our soul and blood we whall redeem you, O Jamal."

In addition to this, Nasser spoke of Egypt's preparation, for "a major battle" with Israel. " I N THE very near future we shall achieve a flawless air defense in the Suez Canal Zone.

We shall be the equal of the Israelis in the air," Nasser told the enthusiastic crowd celebrating the evacuation of all foreign troops from Libyan soil.

By John Woodford Editor, Muhammad Speaks At first they remained relatively silent about the problem in the Middle East. But as the grassroots Black community has steadily increased its information about and opposition to the racist and warlike policies of Israel, the "big negroes" of the United States have obeyed orders to publicly declare their support for that white colony's war policies.

Their statement insulted Islam at every chance.

JUST AS well - to - do German Jews backed Hitler's aggressive policies before they themselves became the immediate targets of Nazism, the "big negroes" have now gathered in a chorus to sing the . same song.

And just as the German Jews expressed their support in terms of "German national interest" t and "the need to stop socialsim and communism," so, too, has I been the "big negroes" defense t of Israel as part of the "free [ world" (along with the USA, South Africa, Britain, France, Portugal, Greece and so on.)

Once they were progressive — the big negroes. They stood for non - violence, for peace and for friendly and equal relations between nationf alities.

But by urging the U.S. government to give more jets to Israel — a move to increase Israel's already overwhelming superiority in weaponry, especially those of the aggressive sort — the negroes who signed the New York Times ad backing Israel have transformed themselves into the ugliest type of Uncle Toms — into traitors not only to their own people in the United States - but to people who love peace, freedom, justice and equality around the world.

IGNORE THE UN THE PROGRESSIVE people of the world — the people who strongly support the freedom and self - determination of the Black man in the USA — have condemned Israel for repeated violations of international law.

The United Nations, led by African and Asian states, has voted time and time again that Israel should return from the lands seized in the 1967 attack on several Arab states.

" — as a racist, aggressive, exclusively Jewish - controlled colony armed and financed by U.S.. South .African. British and West German reactionaries? The Palestinians say they will fight until an open, democratic state guaranteeing equal rights for all is established where Israel is.

IGNORE REFUGEES Do the big negroes condemn the Black refugees of Palestine to live out their days in tents on the desert — eating with the 20 cents a day relief money?

Apparently so.

Is mass - punishment of suspected opponents, including the dynamiting of Black neighborhoods, OK when Zionists do it but wrong only when South Africans commit the same a t r o c i t i e s ?

The crisis in the Middle East is a cause of great concern to all Ameficansnon-Jew as well as Jew, black as well as white. Our concern a , Americans is motivated not only by the threat to wo rid peace which is r c; - by the Arab-Israeli conflict We are also moved by the ideals of democracy and social justice, ideals which we have struggled to achieve in this cou&y and which we firmly believe the United States must uphold in the h'lz: e East In our opinion, the United.States can best stand by these ideals by unequivocally guaranteeing Israel's security.

While we are aware that Israel, like any other nation, has its shoricom -gs.

It is by far the most democratic country in the Middle East What is remarkable is that the high degree of political freedom in Israel has net diminished despite the constant need to maintain military preparedness. In contrast countries like Iraq, Syria, and Egypt are dictatorial one-party states where the press and the courts are rigorously controlled and non-Moslem minorities are severely persecuted. Moreover, Israel has made tremendous strides toward achieving an equalitarian economic order. Its sophisticated system of educational, health, and welfare services is more advanced even than in our own country and has enhanced the quality of life for Arab as well as Jewish Israelis. The incidence of poverty in the Arab countries, on the other hand, remains appalling. The income from oil has been used io sustain wealthy sheikdoms—and often terrorist organizations as well—but rarely to alleviate the suffering of the poor.

We are deeply concerned about the plight of impoverished Arabs, particularly those who have teen made re' jeees as a result of the three Arabtsraeu wars. Sot we Co not teel t a t l i e continuaticn of h e confSct serves the real l-zeresis ct these recpte. Prolonged turafWci and inflammatory i d > l i l a i l a W w ' l i i i i at Israel can e-.y overtreticxrsahsntic-,energy, and resouees away from an attacw en r e pressing sccai and econom»c problems of the Arab people.

We, therefore, support Israel's right to exist for the same reasons that w» have straggled for freedom and equality in America And it is again for these reasons that we believe that only peace and economic development can bring real justice to the Arab people. The present crisis in the Middle East endangers both Israel's existence and a better lile for the Araba We believe that the United States has a vital role to play in ending this crisis.

If it does not stand firm in the Middle East, the Soviet Union will be encouraged to increase its intervention, thereby escalating the conflict still further.

We urge the United States government to use its great influence to help bring the Israelis and the Arabs to the conference table where they can c a m o n g - . - s e l v e s a just and negotiated settlement.

SOME OF the workers report that they have been harassed and discriminated against since going back. At least two picket captains have been fired. Strikers are being passed over as promotions go to workers who stayed on the job or returned to work early.

Some union members who reported to work a few minutes late were sent home for the day. even though their trucks had not yet left the station. Overtime work at several stations is being channeled to scabs and non union members.

TARGET OF BOMBS NEW ISRAELI PLANES CAN DROP: Little Black girls and boys of Palestine and other Arab states have already been mutilated by U.S. - manufactured napalm dropped from U.S. supplied planes flown by Israeli and U.S. pilots. Now the racist anti - Muslim 'big negro' establishment has sold whatever soul it had left by urging President Nixon to make even more jets available for Israel. Frightened by Black Americans' growing awareness that Israel and South Africa are the same sort of monster (South Africa was colonized by an oppressed white religious group, too) the Jews who now support former Nazis ordered their negro flunkies to print an ad traitorous to the interests of Black people for freedom, justice and equality.

Liberation News Service The long-delayed economic effects of the Vietnam war are coming home, perhaps with a vengeance. Unemployment is rising fast, prices are going up. the stock market is fluctuating wildly, production is declining and profits are slumping.

NIXON IS meeting with his businessmen friends, and Agnew is assuring Lions clubs that things will be fine in a couple of months. But assurances about the health of the economy don't mean any more than assurances that we'll be out of Indochina soon.

There's no question that the Vietnam war has created the economic problems facing corporate America right now.

Most liberal economists agree that the inflation and resulting short-term instability can be directly traced to the war expenditures.

In the long run. however, what may be more significant for the economy is the fact that corporate America has lost the struggle for Indochina, and more and more executives are discovering this fact.

What has happened in the economy in the past five years? When Lyndon Johnson escalated the war in 1965, the economy had been expanding and unemployment had been dropping. There was nothing p a r t i c u l a r l y unusual or exciting to the upswing: the e a r l y s i x t i e s had been stagnant, and the few years of growth through '65 resulted from the fact that there was a lot of slack in the economy, with a little help from the tax cut.

In those days economists claimed that 4 per cent unemployment was actually f u l l e m p l o y m e n t , since anything lower was considered "inflationary."

The rise in expenditures on the war in late '65 and throughout '66 paralleled the rise in opposition to the war: it was clear to government policy makers that they had an unpopular war on their hands.

It was also clear that to ask people to pay for the war directly would just make it more unpopular. So without significant changes in the federal budget, the administration just tacked on the cost of the war, financing it with a bigger deficit than the economic situation warranted.

If the government had raised taxes sharply, or had sharply cut expenditures on civilian programs, the people would be aware that the war was d i r e c t l y affecting their material well-being.

Instead, the government ran

ever-increasing deficits through '66. '67. and '68 in order to pay for the war. In fact, the government deficit in 1968, the year of the Tet offensive, was the largest since 1945.

NOW, DESPITE the fact that Nixon was hoping to run a budget surplus in 1970 and '71. expenditures are once again outrunning receipts, as he recently announced before the last stock market decline.

What has the effect of this expenditure policy been? A budget deficit — that is, government spending more than it takes in from taxes — can be very useful to an economy: if there is any slack in the use of resources due to a shortage of demand for goods

WASHINGTON Laws designed for the purpose of ha ring the necessary tool to d e t a i n and 'legally" incarcerate the Blacks of this country i n t i m e of "insurrection" have been on the U.S. law books since 1950 and buildings to house these "extremists" have been in existence since before that time. Blacks and other groups as well have repeatedly demanded that these unjust and dangerous laws be repealed.

Former Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg has warned that these laws are unconstitutional and more than.

130 c o n g r e s s m e n have introduced bills to repeal these laws. In December of 1969 such a repeal was passed by the Senate without debate, but since that time the bill has been held by a House committee.

Recently the House Internal Security Committee heard testimony concerning the repeal law. Some of the most rich and powerful firms in the country sent representatives to testify against repeal and they worked diligently to keep the "Emergency Detention Act of 1950" on the federal law books.

The group known as the Electronic Industries Association (EAI), represents more than 300 electronics companies. Policy of the EAI is shaped by the major United States manufacturers and biggest "defense" contractors.

The same manufacturers are also major contributors to the Black "Revolution."

Production will increase and unemployment will decline.

If. however, the economy is at "full" employment, then a government deficit will just result in general price increases, that is. inflation.

During the years 1965-68, the war in Vietnam was good for corporate America's economy.

Conservative congressional and economic leaders would not normally have allowed such deficits to be run while the unemployment rate was below 4 per cent, since anything lower is usually considered inflationary.

maintaining imperialist domination of Asia was greater than the danger of inflation, so the continued deficit was approved. So the war was financed, unemployment dropped to under 4 per cent in 1966 and stayed there through 1969, and corporate profits skyrocketed.

Prices were rising, too, but no one really noticed that at first. In general, the economy was (supposedly! doing everything for everybody and fighting a war too.

Meanwhile, however, the real, spendable incomes of wage and salary workers were declining. Wages were rising, of course, as businessmen continually pointed out. but they weren't rising as fast as the prices the businessmen were charging and the taxes the government was taking away.

So even though profits were increasing, the whole period of the late 1960 s saw a decline in the purchasing power < the real income) of workers.

In order to make up for this decline and to stay up with future rising prices, workers have been fighting for heavy wage increases recently, since they know that they've been taken for a ride for the last four years. And it's just at this point that the administration starts screaming hardest about inflation.

It's just at this point, too. that workers start getting laid off in many different sectors of the economy. The rise in unemployment, up to 5 per cent this month, shows no signs of tailing off.

THE MAJOR impact of the first steep rise in u n e m p l o y m e n t was f e l t predominantly by Black workers as is the usual pattern, but white blue-collar workers are beginning to feel the crunch too. With more layoffs coming now, i t becomes more difficult for workers to press for wage increases to make up for what they have lost.

So wage and salary workers have paid for the war in two ways: first, they have financed it through the inflation; and then the resulting instability has led to layoffs.

Unions, in order to make up for what they have lost and also expecting rising prices, demand wage increases which include inflation clauses in

c r i s i s

their contracts. The result is that if corporate America's economic strategists want to end inflation, they'll have to cool the economy ddwn to about 6.5 or 7 per cent unemployment.

Meanwhile, profits have declined, for a number of important reasons.

First, the decline in the purchasing power of wage and salary workers and higher prices in general, have made themselves felt through lower sales.

Second, the unstable price situation has made corporate planning, necessary to high profits, much more difficult.

Third, high interest rates and the uncertain economic picture for the future has slowed the rate of heavy investment, that is, slowed the sales of machines and other capital goods in many sectors of the economy.

The profit and sales decline and the general uncertainty have been the direct cause of thelavoffs.

THE LAST POINT - the uncertain economic picture for the future — merits close analysis. Uncertainty as to the future shape of the U.S. economy — or the society, for that matter — is one reason for the current stock market fluctuations.

The amount of American investment in Asia and other parts of the Third World has grown throughout the sixties.

Plans for the large-scale expansion of such investment have been in the developing and blossoming stages for years — the Pacific Rim strategy is just part of corporate plans to dominate the economies of the Third World.

By Carla Blakley, Saultreux Tribe (Special to Muhammad Speaks) (Both are affiliated with Indians of all tribes, the group which is occupying Alcatraz Island.)

NEW YORK — The history of genocide in this country goes back to the earliest colonist. The Dutch colonists at New Amsterdam inaugurated the practice of paying a bounty for Indians scalps. Top prices were paid for the scalps of adult males, while those of women and children brought somewhat less.

AS THE POPULATION grew, more efficient methods of reducing the number of Indians were introduced. It was found that distributing free blankets, infected with small pox, and other diseases, rapidly reduced the number of Indians on the scene. Entire tribes were decimated, or worse, by the simple expedient of failing to deliver promised food supplies for the winter months.

These m e t h o d s were supplemented by the liberal use of the technique of massacre. Massacres were committed first by gangs of vigilantes, like the mob which perpetrated the Sand Creek Massacre in Colorado. The practice soon became official, with General U.S. Grant's standing order to kill all Indians when raiding villages.

With the closing of the era of "Indian Wars," there was a r e t u r n to systematic starvation and exposure to cold and disease. Today, infant m o r t a l i t y , s u i c i d e and tuberculosis continue to gnaw away at the Indian population

at a rate which would be considered epidemic in any other segment of society.

On the cultural level. Indians have been systematically dehumanized since the beginning. At first through the propaganda which portrayed the Indian as a savage. Later, through the official policies of the Federal Government and its Bureau of Indian Affairs, Indian culture and religion were systematically denigrated and eroded.

One of the most effective weapons used is the attack on Indian culture was mass deportation, euphemistically called •resettlement." In

addition to this was the cultural shock brought about by the forced transition from nomad-hunters to farmers.

Unable to accept the role of farmer, many former warriors became idle and. losing their self - respect, became passive and vulnerable to alcoholism and chronic depression.

Policies of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (B.I.A.) were (and s t i l l are) highly destructive to Indian culture.

Mayor's "shoot to kill" order stirs call for Black self - defense

Indians genocide fight must reject their culture, which was labeled inferior, and learn to assimilate.

INDIAN RELIGION too was villified at these schools, and by the Christian missionaries who worked closely with the B.I.A. Indian worship was condemned as "pagan.' "barbaric" and D e v i l inspired." Any child who clung to the practice of his religion might find himself subjected to b r u t a l punishment. Any expression of Indian identity was met with corporal punishment. One wonders how any children were able to survive such a systematic attack on every level of personality.

To come to the present, the on-going theft of treaty g u a r a n t e e d r i g h t s and resources continues unchecked. As the value of Indian holdings goes up, so too do the pressures to seize these resources. The rationalizing the bilking of Indians, the arguments used are identical with those used in the 18th and 19th centuries: "They're not using the land anyway," "You can't stop progress," etc.

For example, in the State of Washington, Indian hunting and fishing rights, guaranteed by t r e a t y , have been arbitrarily revoked. Since these people live by hunting and fishing, this means dissolution of the tribe, if not starvation. This is a case of people being coldly sacrificed to private interest.

Further evidence of the destructive policies of the B.I. A. appears in the case of socalled Waste Land Reservations. This land is so poor that even a small population cannot support i t s e l f . M a n y of these reservations could become self-

sufficient i f their meager resources could be properly exploited: that is, if the money held in trust for Indians by the B.I.A., were made available.

For example, a North Dakota ' ' b a d lands'' reservation, now totally barren, could be the site of a brick yard, according to expert opinion. Unfortunatly, the B.I.A. prefers not to allow Indians the use of their own money for such projects.

The answer to this policy of theft and repression is Direct Action. As Blacks discovered in the American ghetto, words unaccompanied by actions are meaningless. Indians intend to act by reclaiming unused Federal lands, a right they acquired in a treaty in 1868.

Occupation of Alcatraz is the key to this plan. The island, a barren chunk of rock, was never legally surrendered to the Government in the first place. The Indians have a clear case for their right to repossess it.

The idea of Alcatraz. its symbolic significance, is that this land shall be the property of all Indians in perpetuity.

Whatever use the island is eventually put to is irrelevant to the case.

Meanwhile the Government stalls. What are they afraid of? ' The Case of Stanley Island is of great importance because it demonstrates the unique position of Indians among America's oppressed minorities.Indians are a transnational people, and they must work out the solutions to their problems as a people, regardless of the political boundaries which have been placed between them.

RICHMOND, Calif. - Dr. Tom Brewer has called the r e c e n t W h i t e House Conference on Food. Nutrition and Health "very discour aging".

"PRESIDENT NIXON even mentioned that thousands of U.S. infants were damaged by their mothers' malnutrition during pregnancy," Dr. Brewer said, "but this was deleted from the version of his address released in the 'final report' of the conference."

According to Dr. Brewer "the man who chaired the panel on nutritional problems of the pregnant and nursing mother and young infant, C h a r l e s U . L o w e , has apparently lost his reason altogether; f o r he is proclaiming that it won't do any good to b e g i n an aggressive p r o g r a m of nutrition education in our public parental clinics serving the poor.

B r e w e r said Lowes unscientific excuse is that because "these women and girls have been malnourished all their lives," they cannot be helped by a nutrition program during pregnancy.

"These phonies — these smug, well - fed academicians and bureaucrats — are not going to help our poor." Dr.

He testified that he suffered a broken nose, dislocated shoulder, and loss of some teeth, as a result of the beating. He further testified that he was locked up at the station and denied medical treatment.

As an excuse for the beating, the two police officers claimed that Shanks had resisted arrest. Other charges filed against Shanks at the time were aggravated battery, unlawful use of a weapon, and making an improper right turn. Shanks was acquitted of these charges but was fined $25.00 for "resisting" arrest.

Democratic Society who were urging that the conference adopt more militant proposals than the anti - war proposals submitted by the leaders of the Cleveland Area Peace Action Council.

J e r r y Gordon read a greeting from Rosalio Munoz, National Chairman of the Chicano Moratorium Committee, who explained in the greeting that he was unable to attend the conference because he had to remain behind in California with an Indian who had been beaten at the Alcatraz site which the I n d i a n B l a c k man is attempting to retrieve from the U.S. federal government.

Robert Hill, a local Black labor leader, rose and extended greetings to the Central Intelligence Agency, the Cleveland Police and the National Guard whom he was certain were present.

Then he w a r n e d the authentic delegates against permitting the conference to become fragmentized by those who might lose sight of their collective goal which was one: the immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam.

Then came on stage to the mike one of the keynote speakers, Blackman John T. Williams, Vice President of Los Angeles Teamster Local 208.

As cheers and boos died down. Williams stood and spoke on the theme of war and work He called the war a threat to work by virtue of its being a threat to the trade union movement. "The war issue extends far above the bread and butter issue." He said.

Some by - products of war cited by him are inflation, pollution and slums. " V i e t n a m is n o t a jurisdiction of the U.S." He said "Our jurisdiction is the cesspool which surrounds us." " I f workers are to be disciplined for wildcat strikes, the U.S. government must be disciplined for a wildcat war!"

"We must be thinking in terms of a national work stoppage."

Though at the beginning of the conference Williams remained silent in the face of verbal attacks on him, when speaking before the Saturday workshop on labor unions and war, he said " I was in the wildcat picket line; I was jailed three times; I was shot at three times by the police; I have three law suits against me." " I ' M MAN enough to stand up for what I believe and don't have to talk behind the scenes." He said to standing applause in answer to those at the conference who had accused him of selling out the Los Angeles Teamster wildcat strikers. " I t was they who raised the money to send me to the conference." He added, "Because thev understand."

Warren says lawyers'protest against w a r w a s overdue WASHINGTON - In hailing 100 prominent Chicago lawyers here in the capital to protest U.S. Indo - China policy, former Supreme Court Justice E a r l W a r r e n t o l d the lobbyists: ""The war in Viet Nam is dividing our people and polarizing them to a degree I've never seen in my life and something should be done about it. I think everyone in this country is against this war. The way to end a war is to stop i t . " HE ALSO juxtaposed this anti - war sentiment with growing repressive tendencies within the nation, which i n d i c a t e s how w h i t e Americans are turning inward, against themselves, against their own freedoms, as well as those of the minorities.

Warren warned that because of these currents in the country, an erosion could come about which would mean that "Our rights can be frittered away and the Constitution could become an empty vessel."

IN HAILING the actions of the lawyers, Warren took the American Bar Association to task for not standing up to the Constitutional interpretations on human rights, which came during the Warren tenure: 1953 - 1968.

THE GUN SYNDROME, a distressing part of U.S. mentality that is drummed into the heads of nearly all of its citizens, can be measured by the number of weapons confiscated by police across the country. However, the purchase of weapons by private citizens cannot in any way be considered a barometer of the millions upon millions of dollars spent by white police forces to instill terror in the hearts of oppressed people.

OMAHA — Between 5 and 10 per cent of the 62,000 school children in this American Midlands city are taking "behavior modification" drugs prescribed by local doctors to improve classroom deportment and increase learning potential.

THE CHILDREN being given the drugs have been identified by their teachers as ''hyperactive'' and unmanageable to the point of disrupting regular classroom U . S . f a r

NEW YORK, N.Y. - After concluding a six-year study comparing the U.S. with the Soviet Union in the area of child rearing, a professor at Cornell University stated emphatically: U.S. citizens are too busy making money to practice the high level of child rearing they claim they want, and U.S. children get short shrift in a comparative analysis of the effects the two economic systems have upon the furure of their children.

U R I E BRONFENBRENNER, says in Two Worlds "of Childhood, U.S. and U.S.S.R. that the U.S. is in trouble in the home, as a nation: " I t is not that we don't have values for children, we just don't live them out. There are no provisions for part-time work generally no flexible work schedules, no child-care centers near places of work, no special consideration for workers who are responsible for children.

activity. Virtually all are in grade school.

Five drugs are commonly prescribed.

Soviet system, which places premium on substance over empty form, he writes that the ''Children have real responsibilities at an early age. They take care of the school grounds and welcome visitors and older classes adopt younger classes, helping them with homework, walking them to school, playing games with them."

CRACKING AWAY at the substitute form for the family life here in the U.S., the television system, the professor admonished: "The main socializing forces on children in the United States today are television, much of which is violent, and are the peer group, which is often anti-social.... We are in trouble as a society ...

American p r i o r i t i e s are affluence, fun, frivolity, and thrills."

of the line, we know these children become more successful.

They become more self confident."

Erie Musselman. chairman of the department of surgery at the University of Nebraska College of Medicine and president of the Omaha School Board, said he knows little about Ritalin. ."But I did learn recently," Dr. Musselman said, "that it has a paradoxical effect on children. Where it would stimulate an adult, it works on the central nervous system to calm children."

He said several prominent physicians at the Syracuse seminar described the positive resuits they had achieved by using such drugs as Ritalin and dexedrene with hyperactive students. And a film, ' Why Billy Can't Learn," was shown.

Dr. Oberst returned to Omaha he said, with a new mission to spread among his HISTORIC! PROPHETIC! A MUST FOR EVERY H O M E !

colleagues and school personnel his new knowledge about how to help with a problem that he said besets and frustrates 8 to 10 per cent of the student population.

Dr. Oberst was asked if he could estimate how many pupils in the Omaha system are on some form of "behavior modification" drug.

"Only the family physician has those records," Dr. Oberst replied. But he agreed with other estimates that the number is between 5 and 10 per cent of the school population, or 3,000 to 6,000 children.

MANY OF THEM are poor, some of them are black, but school system officials say the program is not limited to the poor and black.

"They were trading pills on the school grounds," said Warner. "One kid would say, 'here, you try my yellow one and I ' l l try your pink one.'"

One school official was asked why he didn't express his reservations in a louder voice and he said simply: "Look, if I bucked the medical profession in this town, I'd be dead, useless. They are pretty powerful here." m

Everything in the picture he draws, such as the celebration of a typical opening day at a Soviet school in the late summer, makes the portrait of the contrasting U.S. example look as if it has been hung upside down.

"Children and their proper education are a national priority. The first day of school is a Soviet Holiday to the t e a c h e r . The teacher welcomes the children. The parents thank the teacher. The teacher praises the parents.

Within schools, teachers are models for peer groups which are a constructive force for kids."

that the jury was selected from tax rolls of the city's property holders on grounds that the six are not getting an impartial hearing by their peers.

Also being challenged is the fact that one of the defendants, James Cortez. has gone through a similar trial already and is being subjected to doublejeopardv.

THE BLACK SIX are in effect being charged with starting the rebellions in the Black community in May, 1968.

During that uprising, two Black youths were murdered by a white merchant and a police officer, and over a score were wounded by police and national guardsmen who occupied the town's predominantly Black west end.

Jury selection began on June 22. The court opened session with chanting demonstrators outside demanding that the trial be dropped. Visibly upset, Judge S. Rush Nicholson ordered that the chanting be stopped or the demonstrators arrested.

He has pledged that he will give the six a fair trial, and that the case will be tried " i n this court, not in the streets of Louisville." All those involved in either the defense or the prosecution are under a court order not to make any public statements concerning trial.

After an arduous selection process, a jury has been chosen composed of three Blacks, several women —- and all property owners. The defense has challenged the fact

p r o p e r t y

r e b e l l i o n s

Several pieces of property were damaged or destroyed by residents during the outbreak.

Evidence against the six consists primarily of the fact that some of them made speeches at the rally which police attacked, precipitating the uprising.

Three of the six were o r i g i n a l l y charged w i t h conspiring to blow up the town's oil refineries in June, when hysteria in the white community about the ghetto revolt was at its height. Had they in fact planned to blow up the refineries, they would have been planning to destroy most of the Black community, where the refineries are located.

A series of charges and high bonds have made it impossible for supporters to obtain his release from j a i l . He is presently serving a five - year sentence for supposed possession of a sawed - off shotgun.

Supporters for the six have been saying for two years that the city government has been trying to find scapegoats to blame the uprisings on rather than dealing with the social conditions in Louisville. Two supporters, workers for Southern Conference Educational Fund iSCEF), went to jail in January of this

year for protesting the trial in a letter sent to townspeople in Munfordville, Ky., where.the case had been moved by the prosecution due to what it called "pre - trial publicity".

The case was sent back to Louisville when the judge said the six could not get a fair trial in Munfordville because of the letter.

Martha Allen and Mike Honey, who sent the letter, were indicted for "embracery" — a common law offense tantamount to jury tampering. That case is presently in federal court.

THE CHARGES were later changed to include conspiracy to destroy property which was destroyed during the revolt, and three more people were added to the indictment.

Several of the people charged were organizers for the Black Unity League of Kentucky (BULK), and others were known as "leaders" in the Black community. One of the six, James Cortez, was a SNCC w o r k e r from Washington, D.C. He has especially been singled out by authorities in Louisville, and has been in jail since June 1, 1968. when he was first arrested.

(Special to MS) LONDON — Every thread of evidence indicates that with the coming to power of the Conservative party, the resumption of arms sale to South Africa will commence.

leaders have publicly stated their fury over arms Sales to South Africa.

Foreign Minister Home is expected to take the following argument to the English people: Arms compacts with South Africa could yield Britain up to $200 million in export sales. An inflationary economy and growing racial hostility against Blacks in England vaulted the Conservatives into power.

Increased economic bounty, no doubt could win many voters to such arguments, particularly with the current British-styled backlash operating against Blacks in general.

"SUCH ACTION would place Britain firmly in the camp of the white racist regime of South Africa, endanger the existence of the Commonwealth and flout the authority of the United Nations," the Labor Partv stated in a position paper in the wake of being turned out of power by British voters, last week.

In a visit to Johannesburg Feb. 4, 1968, Sir Alec-DouglasHome, new Foreign Secretary declared: ' ' W h e n the Conservative party comes back to power the old system of selling arms to South Africa for her defense will again operate."

The United Nations Security Council, in 1963, called on members to refrain from selling "arms, ammunition of a l l types and m i l i t a r y vehicles" to South Africa.

The Conservatives, who were in power at the time, 'read' this resolution to apply only to arms that could be used internally to enforce apartheid and pretend that none of the "defense" arms will be used against oppressed Africans.

Black nation-states have increased their economic posture since the Conservatives were last in power, 1963. And their trade with Britain exceeds pacts with white-ruled South Africa.

T u s k e g e e

By Anna Karriem THE MESSENGER of Allah, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad is teaching us today that the devil has made his former slaves blind, deaf, and dumb to the knowledge of self. Messenger Muhammad warms us daily that the socalled educational process that the devil has now become dissatisfied with, served as a tool to keep Black people from advancing.

Under the instruction of a devil by the name of Dr, Frank B. Miller in the Tuskegee Institute school of Education, I would remember the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad very vividly: "we can not boast of the Devil's education because he did not teach us the knowledge of self." I sat in this devil's class supposedly being taught various concepts and principles of education: h o w e v e r , as the c l a s s progressed, he taught us more on his way of thinking and living in America.

At the beginning of one of the class sessions, I walked into the room and seated myself in preparation for his lecture.

The devil began teaching us that " i t is a commonly known fact that America has wronged the minority groups, especially the "Nigras" but, whose perfect? We must all get together and help to build a better country because I love America and all that she stands for.

I

I am sure you have all heard the term 'brainwashed'' manytimes when referring to the devil's 'White man's) 400-year rule over the Black People here in America.

Anyone who does not like this country or its principles ought to get out and go some place else." The devil glanced at me as he continued to teach the Black Sisters in the class "his" principles of a good society as if he wanted to devote that evening's lecture to me.

I waited for the devil to finish his lecture and I asked what caused his forefathers to wrong' my forefathers from the beginning9 What principle of this country was used to justify killing Black people here in America? Is Black Equal to White and which had to come first according to the scriptures that you keep quoting to us? (this devil enjoyed teaching us the Bible in class). He did not answer any of my questions. Instead, he angrily asked me "What country did you come from?

The H o n o r a b l e Elijah Muhammad teaches me that the Earth belongs to the Black Man but. due the wickedness of your fathers. I was born here in America. He said he would not tolerate such prejudices in his class and that it was such prejudices as mine that kept America divided. I thank Allah for this for, it is written in Isaiah that the blind will see and the deaf shall hear and that we, the Black Nation shall receive the names of their God. I n order for the scriptures to be fulfilled, we must be s e p a r a t e d as Messenger Muhammad teaches us daily

Approximately 3,000 Black people attended the affair which featured clothing, prizes, and advertisements from nearly one hundred Black businesses in the area. Said one Muslim official: "This event is a living testimony to the concept that in unity under the wise leadership of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad lies the key to the salvation of the Black Man."

Get Knowledge to Help Self

SUCCESSFUL COMBINATION — Holding book which he considers to be the most important publication on dietary laws in existence today, Bro. Ike X (center), Mosque No. 27, Los Angeles, poses with personnel of his now famous Shabazz Restaurant. Though his establishment has become a household name throughout the city, the humble brother still find time to sell more than 200 issues of Muhammad Speaks each week. (MS photo: Robert 9X)

In the Name of Allah — Master Fard Muhammad — to Whom praises are forever due.

I thank (God) Allah for His divine Messenger and His Divine Message which reveals to us our true Culture and environment.

I REMEMBER before I came into knowing myself, I felt that life had no more meaning to me. I had always had a strong sense of myself, and in the last few years before I came into the Nation of Islam I felt as if I was losing my identity: there was a deadness in ipy body that eluded me. as though I could not exactly locate the situation.

I felt peculiarly off balance — the awareness of something missing out of my life, a c e r t a i n i n t i m a t i o n of emptiness. Now, however.

since I have obtained a knowledge of Self I feel tremendous strength flowing back into my life. My life took on a new definiteness, a confidence, a boldness which makes me want to do for Self, know about myself, and be proud of Self. I feel that it is my job to help liberate my people as the Messenger is doing today.

think destructive and evil so that in the end you will not perish.

I am appealing to all my Brothers and Sisters to visit Muhammad's Mosque of Islam' and listen to what is being said. Evaluate it fairly with what you've been taught and I guarantee you that you will no longer accept teachings of Christianity.

BROTHERS AND Sisters, I know you would like to see the here - after and not go down with (God's) Allah's and our enemy. You must refrain from doing evil and obscene things and let us come together and juncture our Self. YOU must d r o p these c h a i n s of C h r i s t i a n i t y t h a t have imprisoned your mind, robbed you of Knowledge, your Culture and enslaved vou to

If you did this you would be doing yourself a great justice that you wouldn't regret.

Give yourself a change to live, for where your life was dull and dead, it would take on a new meaning. The sooner you act and become exposed to the truth, the better it will be for you.

Your Black Muslim Brotbr, Mr. Alton X (McGowan)

E m e r g e n c y Dear Brothers and Sisters: As - Salaam - Alaikuirf In an effort to help Our Great Leader, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, I am asking you to join me so that our strength, united together, can be known during this emergency.

I AM contributing 50 per cent of all profit made from F.O.I, and M.G.T. - G.C.C. pins to the Emergency Drive. These F.O.I, and M.G.T. - G.C.C. pins identify us with the Nation of

W o m a n Islam

By Margary Hassain IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are due forever.

THE WOMAN IN ISLAM gives all Holy Praises to Allah and Thanks Him for His Messenger Muhammad, Who sets her free in all areas of her life.

Messenger Muhammad teaches us that the white man enslaved the Black woman in Christianity, in mind as well as in body. She was made ignorant to her duties to her husband and what is worse her mind was poisoned by the teachings of the white slavemaster who taught her truth was falsehood and falsehood was truth. He taught the Black woman to serve the white man but not to serve herself, her husband and her Black kind.

Therefore, no matter how good a husband she was blessed with and no matter bow much worldly goods she was given, she was unthankful and unappreciative and hell was her home and not heaven.

Contentment was lacking.

A man marries a woman because he wants and n§eds a mate. He needs mental and physical comfort. It is his duty to provide for her and in Islam he does so because he loves himself as well as her, for they are one. She cares for him

D r i v e

Islam and shows that we are united behind our leader wherever we may be. We should all wear these pins.

Let us all buy. now! Lend a hand! To buy in force and to buy right away will do a great deal of good.

We must do all that we can do. now!

May the peace and blessings of Almighty Allah forever be upon you.

As - Salaam - Alaikum.

BrotherYusuf A.X because of her love for herself, as well as for him. What she does for him, she is also doing for herself, for they are sharers in all of their life together. When good comes, it comes to both of them. If i l l comes, it is shared by both, for one is not separated from the other. They are one as Allah ; G o d i is One and His Messenger is One. God is in His Messenger and His Messenger is submerged into the God. They are One. The Black Man, who has accepted his own, serves his wife in the capacity of husband and the WOMAN IN ISLAM serves her husband in her capacity as wife. When they serve each other well there is a good marriage, a good husband is present and a good and dutiful wife is present and they have learned well their lesson of service.

THE greatest call that the Black Nation has ever heard is the Call to the Service of Our God Allah and the Call to serve ourselves and each other.

THE Bible teaches us that we are the Servants of the Most High and as it is written.

The Black Nation, here in America is being called to the Service of Allah (God) by His Messenger Muhammad, the Greatest Servant of Allah (God).

LET us serve Allah (God) and each other well, A l l Praises are due to Allah (God) for His Messenger and the Divine Mission of Messenger Muhammad!

Muslim Sister praises Allah for returning her womanhood

By Sister Betty 11X I forever give thanks to Allah Who came in the person of Master Fard Muhammad for giving to us our leader and teacher the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. A true man of God, and one that can take the Black Women of North America who have been so independent of her Black man by this white man's society, and give her selfrespect and honor: saying to her that she is the queen of the Planet Earth and that her

place is beside her Black man not in front.

We the Black women play a very important part; a lot depends on us. If our Black man is to be successful, we must be with him 100 per cent, giving him a chance to use his mental capacities, which are unlimited. I am truly thankful to Allah for letting me reclaim my own.

Brother Joe, of Muhcrrrrac -, Mosque of Islam located in Memphis, was one of the leading M.S. paper sellers until the government took him away ;e *'ederai prison for refusing to b« drafted into a white man's army to go abroaa re Vietnam cn< kill Asian Biack people.

O b e y George 4X Nichols Minister of Muhammad's Mosque No. 46, New Orleans The Honorable E l i j a h Muhammad stands out today as a great Leader of Black People. But he is more than a great Leader. The Blackman of America needs more than a great Leader.

HISTORY, ancient, modern and current, shows disastrous mistakes made by ordinary great leaders. Examples of misjudgement that would justify the reluctance of their subjects and constituents to give them 100 per cen obedience. These leaders can and do error, often misleading their people.

But The Honorable Elijah Muhammad is unique in the realm of universal Leadership, he is the only divinely missioned and guided Leader in the world today.

Since he is not merely inspiried, but receives direct guidance from Almighty" God Allah. The Lord of the Worlds in the person of Master W. F. Muhammad, to Whom praises are due forever, he can not error or mislead our people.

Therefore we Muslims and Black people in general are relieved of the burden of doubt in his Leadership.

He has been tried and tested

by God Himself for over 40 years, and has not been found lacking in any ability to Lead and Teach the Black World in general and specifically 30 million enslaved so-called Negroes in America.

HIS WORK in the physical and moral reformation of our people demonstrates his ability. His success in the field of Economics, at a time when the greatest financial minds of the Western world are in a te of complete confusion.

t h e

M e s s e n g e r

shows his divine backing. His ability to correctly analyze the past and the present plus his uncanny vision exemplify his supreme intellect.

With so much demonstrable evidence, even one with no religious bent should want to follow and obey this great Teacher. For those whos Eyes Allah has opened spiritually to see His power reflected in The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, we have no reason nor right to deny Messenger Muhammad

100 per cent obedience. Not mere lip service but, carrying out his instructions. Even a perceptible hint from him should be to us like a thundering command.

Islam vanquished his evil

By C. Carlton X (Sloan) Florida State Prison I am 21 years of age and serving a life sentence here in the Florida State Prison at Raiford. I was 18 years of age when I was first incarcerated in this lair. Since being here I have come into the knowledge of myself, my God whose proper name is Allah, my authentic Religion which is Islam, the identity of my open enemies, and the path to complete Freedom. Justice and Equality. All this has been made lucid to me by the candid teaching of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Almighty Allah. I have been raised from the dead!

rid my mind of the lust for lewd, indecent women; the want of wine, dope, cigarettes and sport.

While I was in the Christian religion I never really desired to live a clean life. There was no example of cleanliness. The preacher himself was the main one who did everything that the bible said "don't do." He ate more pork than all the people in our church, even though, the bible he preaches out of, forbade it (Lev 11:7) and even said God would burn up all those who did ' Isa. 66:1617). He, like most Christian preachers was only "stealing in the name of the Lord."

THERE ISN'T enough praise and thanks in the universe to render to Allah Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, for His coming and blessing us. the mentally dead so-called Negroes and non-white people in general, with the greatest gift ever given to a people. The Last and Greatest Apostle of them All — The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

SINCE ACCEPTING the teachings of Islam, as taught

by Messenger Muhammad, I have just about lost all evil thoughts. I no longer desire to do wrong or hurt by Black Brothers and Sisters. I have learned to respect, protect and reflect Blackness and Righteousness. Only Islam has elevated my mind to the plane of civilization, refinement, and fearlessness. Onlv Islam has ,

Boumedienne admits what he was warned of years ago ALGIERS Hard-hitting central theme in President Houari Boumedienne's opening remarks to the 20th General Conference of the Organization of Patroleum Exporting Countries centered on the possible boycott of Western and Japanese oil monopolies by the world's major oilexporting countries.

PRESIDENT Boumedienne encouraged the nations to deal directly with the governments of the consumer countries.

He said that the big exploitative nations like the U.S. were depleting the national resources of the producing republics and uirectly keeping them impoverished, in yet another twist and turn of neo colonialism.

"They are trying to take the lion's share and leave us onlv

a t

the crumbs. We must unite our efforts against this threat to our national resources."

In viewing the question of proper use of firearms, the police placed a great deal of emphasis on the Black lawman's responsibility to protect Black citizens from excessive use of firearms. But they also demanded that the Nixon Administration lay down strict guidelines for police use of firearms.

The Society also condemned those rulers who control the police force for their laxity in the enforcement of narcotics laws in the Black community.

However, one issue which has gone unmentioned here was the conditions of African and other Black immigrants who work on the worse jobs in France. When five African workers died in Paris slum quarters last winter, there were m a s s i v e student demonstrations. Yet, the overcrowded conditions still exist and was one of the reasons of the recent protests.

Atlantic City police vow to arrest brutal co-workers ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Black lawmen, incensed over the brutal killing and legal lynching that have claimed the lives of so many Blacks in recent months, met here recently and, in a series of criticisms, demanded of the President and the Justice Department a "sane firearms policy."

"The Black policeman knows the same heel on his brother's neck leaves a heelprint on his own neck."' said a New York City police sergeant. " I f I see a white policeman beating a prisoner, I ' l l place him under arrest for assault," the sergeant continued.

The sergeant, Howard Sheffey, is chairman of the National Council of Police Societies, a group of more than 10,000 B l a c k l a w m e n members of police forces across the country.

By Lonnie Kashif (Muhammad Speaks Washington Bureau I WASHINGTON, D.C—Eyebrows on Capital Hill were lifted when the Nixon Administration backed away from a fight with anti-war congressmen who spearheaded recent congressional action to repeal the Tonkin Gulf resolution which in effect sanctioned the escalation of the Viet Nam War. Some even expressed hope that the administration was turning over "a new leaf."

AS IT TURNS out however, the administration has simply defused the Tonkin Gulf issue as an anti-war rallying cry, while continuing to carry out it's war-mongering policies unabated.

White House sources confirmed this opinion in acknowledging that the Resident would not be hampered in carrying out his present war policies by the repeal of the resolution. "The President relies upon his authority as "Commander in Chief" to execute emergency policies involving the nation in war.

It would appear that the President, as judged from recent White House reaction to legislation concerning war involvement, is fully aware of the power of the executive office, and will unhesitantly increase that power. The decision to by-pass congress in sending troops to Cambodia

appears to substantiate this view.

Apprehension among many congressional liberals, and more than a score of "rightwingers" who had been ballyhooing Nixon's policies, appears to be growing.

Informed sources guess that the President may be possibly contemplating using the "Executive Order" to carry out proposed genocidal domestic policies which are running into a storm of criticism on the hill.

Aside from the Executive Order No. 11051. executed by President John F. Kennedy, which in scope, would literally give the chief executive dictational powers ranging

from complete centralization of all federal agencies to taking over all "communications" (See last week issue of Muhammad Speaks), several other such orders now exist, and they represent grave peril for the domestic population.

President Lyndon Johnson, like his predecessor, expanded the dictatorial range of the Executive Orders already on the books in 1966, when he issued Executive Order No. 11310. Disguised in "broad" general language, the order ostensibly gives the Attorney General authority to prepare 'national emergency plans and develop preparedness p r o g r a m s c o v e r i n g law enforcement function of concern to the Executive Branch of the Federal Government."

THESE TACTICS of guerrilla war - fare used by white vigilantes, is seen by the Black community as a deliberate attempt to goad Blacks into bloodly battle as a means of retaliation for the lengthy boycott that has plagued all of Cairo's white merchants.

The burn attempt nearly destroyed the first floor of the United Front office according to Front Chairman Rev. Charles Koen. A "panicky" white policeman pulled his gun at the fire scene but was subdued by Blacks, Koen says.

The boycott leader said that damage done to the office "can probably be patched up."

THE ARREST of Rev. Manker Harris, a high official of the Front on an attempted murder charge is seen by the Black community as a "frame up" as is the arrest of Koen on a charge of aggravated assault.

Harris is accused of shooting at a city policeman and Koen allegedly attacked an officer at an earlier fire scene.

In spite of a l l these provocations, the Black community "is more together than ever before," Koen says.

"After 104 shoot - outs and several other assaults and atrocities perpetrated upon the Blacks of this ravaged community, the youthful leader says that no attempts by whites can "break us down nor destroy the boycott."

He said most people in Pueblo are afraid of what he feels are Mafia connections of the Democratic party.

As an example, he declared the party is sending a delegate to the state assembly who isn't eligible to register and vote because he is on probation for a federal felony conviction.

Declaring Hogan "hasn't a . . . chance of winning," Bradshaw said the choice between Hogan and Republican Gov. Love in N o v e m b e r is a c h o i c e "between tweedledum and tweedledee."

MUHAMMAD SPEAKS

By Leon Forrest CHICAGO Cramped around the radio, summer and autumn, amid crabbed living conditions. Black people tensely listened to the announcer's calling of Joe Louis' tragic movement towards the dispatching of his opponent — generally seeing his moves in the movies sometimes later. Louis' poker faced sweet, slow, menancing grace as he moved towards the tragic 'kill' of his opponent was perilously cathartic for these participants as they listened; who. in their own way, hungered to reach out and fracture the jawbone of the enemy.

PERHAPS it was Louis' muted ability to bind up the violence within him and to turn it into a death machine which ordered the Black witness participants' own violence into momentary weaponry, as the Brown Bomber ( who defended the heavy - weight championship 25 times and all but three times against white foes) methodically prepared

himself and his foes for the moment of annihilation.

Pitiably, many Black hopes of momentary liberation rang out from the pistons of Louis' fighting machine and danced off his gloves.

Recalling the movement of superior bullfighters. Louis sculptured his opponents into bloody, mangled works of sculpture with his forging art.

Extending the metaphor, many of the opponents were often bullish and boorish. For rarely has the ring seen a white fighter in the heavyweight division who possessed the total range and mastery of his craft.

THIS RHYTHM took on meaning for Blacks as cultural - hero mythology, as economic escape for the few; and as a manhood enunciating myth.

And because of this, and because only Adam Clayton Powell on the national scene was giving vent to Black frustration. Blacks turned deeply upon Louis' momentary victories in the evenings.

"Herrod told us to kill the rest of the people," he testified.

"He said, I want these people killed.' I turned to Pfc. (Thomas R.) Boyd and asked, 'Is he crazy or what?'

He also said Herrod ordered Schwarz to shoot an infant. " I don't know whether he did it or not." He said. " I did hear a ,45 go off." Schwarz was found innocent of the charges.

EARLY IN LOUIS' career, in 1938, he fractured a prime example of Germany's thirsting manpower in the person of Max Schmeling after a clandestine call from FDR. The "Brown Bomber" then won considerable favor in the w h i t e press w i t h t h i s iispatching action. And it allowed U.S. whites the luxury of o f f i c i a l l y a b s o l v i n g themselves into the slumber that racism was a myth here (look at Louis' rise from Alabama field hand to the heavyweight championship!) and that Germany's announced racism was indeed the only enemy which threatened the "free world ".

Yet the numerous rebellions in the army camps during World War I I suggested how Louis' muted loyalty to the flag and "We will win because we are on God's side" theory was being deflowered by brothers long before they got to the segregated foxholes "to fight the common enemy''.

Louis, who was indeed "a credit to his race" but not in the way whites thought of him as being, rose to the rank of sergeant (a most symbolic post for an athlete) in the Army during World War I I . He also turned back the money his family had received from government assistance during the depression years. He fought many fights for charity, taking out only expenses. His real payment came when an unfair taxation system for athletes adjudged that Louis owed the government millions.

human bondage. But Louis, more than any of the others, became the tragic tool of white middle - rich empire - piling curators like Mike Jacobs and Jim Norris, former head of the National Boxing Association, and all had vast connections with the Mafia. Meantime, most of these greats ended up in virtual poverty.

NOR WAS IT onlv certain whites who made economic heydays off the golden years of the Bomber's erushingly dismembering fists; but other believers in the svstem — certain latter - day pimpish Black entrepreneurs — etched out careers from the tragic need L o u i s had to be entertained outside the ring; the jokesters; golf 'experts', card - playing buddies; con mis - managers; 'friends' who led him into business mis adventurers; and bum pan handlers: hideous lawyers and wrong - headed accountants.

All of these victims of the U.S. neo - colonial mentality lived upon the body of the giant, who had been economically tripped up by his government and the boxing entrepreneurs .. . psychologically, secretly wishing to kill the champ, even as they toasted him to death.

Now committed to Veterans hospital in Denver. Colorado.

Louis suffers from waves of delusions of massive power and alternate feelings of total collapse — a mental break down which says something about c e r t a i n kinds of

Finally, all this recalls the foul curse played off the body of Louis by the Jacobs and the Norrises, and Louis' friends.

Now we have the combined e f f o r t of the c u l t u r a l nationalists and the neo Garvey - ites who stand atop the B l a c k c o m m u n i t y , whipping out superficial fake images of Blackness and of the Black community, up and down the land in the name of militance and peddling them to the white world while the w h i t e power structure applauds these images with individual grants, as the power wheelers and dealers who really are the house - movers of the republic prepare to import South Africa apartheid to North America the way white slavers brought African Blacks to this land over 400 years ago.

Whites' house auctioned in Rochester NEW YORK - Much to the fear of racist whites across the nation, a two family house in Rochester. N.Y.. has been ordered sold at auction to satisfy a $300 damage award to a Black woman who was discriminated against by white landlords.

THE AWARD was made to Margaret Lee, who was a t t e m p t i n g to r e n t an apartment in the house for $120 a month and was rejected. A local fair-housing organization then sent a white couple to apply for the apartment. The couple was offered the apartment for $110 a month.

The State Division of Human Rights directed the landlords to stop d i s c r i m i n a t o r y practices and pay Mrs. Lee $300 as compensatory damages.

After the public hearings, and the $300 were ignored by Pryhory Tryhula and his wife, the house was placed up for auction.

Tryhula and his wife finally decided that the court was really serious. They paid Mrs. Lee the compensatory dam ages.

Diabetes drug dangers told ST. LOUIS — Despite a massive flood of data the American Diabetes Association declined at the final meeting here to absorb accepted scientific evidence indicating the perils of using oral drugs in controlling effects of the disease.

A DRUG CALLED tolbutamide was the main target of concern.

The conferees in a tired voice affirmed all of the old, "standard" methods of dealing with the disease.

"The long-term effects on mild diabetics" study moved in four areas: diet and tolbutamide, a drug that can be taken by mouth; diet and insulin in a fixed dose; diet and insulin in a variable dose; and diet and a harmless but ineffective substitute for a drug.

More than 800 'mild,' noninsulin taking diabetics were studied over an eight year period at 12 medical school

hospitals throughout the country.

Speaking about the information culled from the studies. Dr. Thaddeus E. Prout of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine said that all of the scientists who participated in the study agreed that: there was no evidence that tolbutamide plus diet offered any real improvement over diet alone, and there appeared to be. on the evidence of the study, and added risk of death from heart and circulatory disease among persons who took the oral drug as compared to those who received the other types of treatment.

However, the out-going board president, Dr. Robert C. Hardin of Iowa City remarked: "At this point the evidence presented does not appear to warrant abandoning presently accepted methods of the treatment of diabetes: diet with oral agents or diet with insulin as indicated."

B l a c k nations p r e p a r e to oppose

Britain

By Winston Berry U N I T E D NATIONS (AWA) — If promises made by British Conservatives in their victorious election campaign are kept, we may expect the weight of Britain during the next few years to be shifted to the side of white supremacy, even to the point of a conflict with the United Nations over mandatory resolutions concerning South Africa and Southern Rhodesia.

T H E UN Security Council, in 1963, approved a resolution banning the sales of arms to South Africa; a resolution, approved in 1965 applied a selective boycott to the rebel white supremacy regime in Southern Rhodesia, which was extended later to include all commodities essential to normal trade.

The London Observer predicts that the first most likely change to be made by the Tories "will be to end the Navy's blockade of the Portuguese port of Beira in Mozambique. This step, too. would bring B r i t i a n into conflict with the SecurityCouncil since the blockade is part of the international campaign for sanctions against Rhodesia.''

It is felt by Conservatives that this gesture to the rebel Rhodesian regime might make negotiations with it easier, and the Observer predicts that the Foreign Minister-designate will be given the task of opening talks with Ian Smith, the former British fighter pilot who heads the white supremacist rebels in Rhodesia.

In another area of southern Africa, where Africans are engaged in armed struggle against the Portuguese occupiers, it is seen as a C H I C A G O

"strong possibility", according to the Observer, that the Tories will "reverse Mr. Wilson's policy of discouraging British industry and financiers from participating in the s t r a t e g i c Cobora Bassa hydroelectric dam project in Mozambique, a critical issue so far as the Mozambique Liberation Movement, Tanzania and Zambia are concerned."

And the racist frosting on the Conservative political cake is likely to be the influence within Britain's a d m i n i s t r a t i o n of Enoch Powell, who is to Prime Minister Edward Heath what Sen. J. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina is to the Nixon Administration - the tub thumper for a more stringent racism at home and abroad.

have made bitter comments on the Ton.- accession to power.

Sir Grantley Adams,the Labour Party leader of Barbados, said in a statement that he feared the influence of Enoch Powell would mean trouble in parts of Britain with large populations of Black immigrants.

The Hindustani Times of India saw the Tory election as an indication that the racial issue would be further intensified and felt it unlikely that Mr. Heath would "go along" with Powell. But other Indian newspapers feared that Powellite pressure on Heath would produce some evil effects.

The Nigerian Tribune warned against a relapse by Britain into "reactionary policies" abroad, especially in dealing with South Africa.

Rhodesia and immigration.

President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, in congratulating the Conservatives on their victory, described it as a "complete shock" and expressed the hope to Mr. Heath that "you will review your party's policy in so far as southern Africa is concerned."

PALESTINE - Since their arrival in Palestine, Zionists have used various forms of deceit and outright lies have passed down through history in o r d e r to i n c r e a s e the superstition of Blacks in an effort to maintain control.

These excursions into magicinclude a claim by Zionists that since their presence in Palestine they have "made the desert bloom" Several writers — both Black and white who — visited Palestine prior to the Zionist arrival recorded much of the beauty of Palestine that disproves these lies.

In a recent issue of Al Fateh, the case against the "blooming desert" has been documented: Al Fateh said: "Lebanon is, geologically and botanically, a n o r t h w a r d extension of Palestine, and much of Lebanon' is productive and fertile without the benefits of Zionist agriculture."

Mark Twain visited Palestine as a tourist in 1867, near Dan, above Lake Tiberias, and he found... " . . . in a green valley five or six miles wide, and fifteen long, the streams which are called the source of the Jordan flow through it to Lake Hule . . . The lake is surrounded by a broad marsh grown with reeds.

Between the marsh and the mountains which wall the valley, toward Dan, as much as half the land is solid, fertile and watered by Jordan's source.

Twain saw much of the same as he travelled to the plains of Esdraelon, but it was riding south after he left Galilee and entered Samaria that he

passed "over a succession of mountain tops, clad with groves of fig and olive trees . . . " He also found that "the narrow canyon in which Nablus, or Shechem is situated is under high cultivation and the soil is exceedingly black and fertile. It is well watered, and its affluent vegetation gains effect by contrast with the barren hills that tower on either side."

A more thorough obser-er of mid - 19th century Palestine was the American missionary.

William Thomson, whose descriptions were quite detailed. Between 1832 and 1876 he managed to visited almost every spot in the Holy Land mentioned in the Bible.

Of the area between Jerusalem and Bethlehem Thomson wrote: "A large part of this plain is generally clothed in the spring with green wheat and barley, as it is at present a rare sight in this part of Palestine."

Further to the north he observed "this basin is a tract of fertile ground producing pears, grapes, figs, almonds, etc., in addition to the usual crops and olives —" Bearing westward Thomson entered the plain of Esdraelon. where "the soil is surpassingly fertile. checkered patches of wheat, barley maize of Indian corn millet, sesame, and even cotton, with broad dark-brown strips of fallow, land inter vening over the surface, and along the hillsides, there are groves of fig and olive trees descending into the plain."

Most recently, it was Sir John Richmond who conceded: " I t is, of course, true that

An all - volunteer army is needed, many politicians say, because the drafted army is organizing to oppose unlawful, genocidal wars.

NEWARK,

Israel's application of capital and scientific methods has much improved agricultural yields in Palestine, but the implication that it was a desert before the Zionists came is nonsense.'' Richmond says. " I first saw it in 1923 and I can vouch for the greenness of plenty of Arab land: Arabs grew oranges in the coastal plains long before Zionism was conceived. And even on the floor of the rift valley it was an Arab. Musa Alami. who first made a part of it productively green."

Many other writers who visited Palestine spoke of the greenery and richness of the land prior to Zionist invasion.

One of the first Jewish storytellers tells of the richness and beauty in these words: " I t is not within my power to describe the trees in the land of Israel...If paradise resembles Jerico. it must be very beautiful."

FORESIGHT OF their o w n destruction can be detected in nearly all of the things that involve U.S w a r machine. After recent destruction of Crescent City Illinois, a w o m a n raised this question: "I wonder if w e deserve this. Do you think the good Lord did

Brimmer puts mouth where money is: backs unemployment

Zionists recruiting US citizens CHICAGO A Zionist recruitment program, styled after the Peace Corps, was established here recently.

ATTORNEY WALTER ROTH, chairman of Sherut La'Am, or the Israel Volunteer Program announced that 27 young professionals were recruited to make the sojourn to 'the state of Israel.' The young professionals will spend exactly one year in Israel, with

the following job description titles stamped upon their "employment files:'' Education. Social work, or Community Activity.

These job title areas also are in keeping with the general kind of clandestine cover-seal placed upon the activities of the CIA-Pentagon information agency that the Peace Corps was instituted for.

WASHINGTON Unemployment, one of the plagues that is breaking the backs of the U.S. working class, is now at an all-time five year high, and an even greater increase was p r e d i c t e d recently by a member of the Federal Reserve Board.

ANOTHER ANTI - BLACK people propagandist Joe McGowon Jr., head of the Associated Press bureau in Lima, Peru, has been ordered out of that country because of " u n r e a l and offensive description" committed by McGowan's bureau's when taking advantage of the recent Peru earthquake to mockingly present Lima, Peru as growing rich from aid brought in by outside missions.

ANDREW BRIMMER, speaking to a group of bankers in Manchester, Vermont, said that "as we move through 1970 and 1971. the nation will face a serious dilemma: With both prices and unemployment continuing to rise, how much unemployment is the public willing to endure as a byproduct of the campaign to check inflation?"

As an excuse for the massive job shortage that faces the Blacks and poor whites of this country, the Federal Reserve Board is using the old standard, inflation.

f i r e d " policies of white employers are not likely to take kindly to being sacrificed in the name of inflation.

"Serious inflation still exists," said Brimmer who is the only Black member of the Federal Reserve Board sevenman team. "And there is little prospect of eradicating it in the near future," Brimmer continued.

"A significant impact on the pace of inflation can be achieved only if we are prepared to see the economy run well below capacity, including a somewhat higher level of unemployment, for quite some time," he said.

^Educator's nutty plan CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rhody McCoy, Black administrator of the Ocean Hill Brownsville school district, told a conference on high school education that the nation's high schools should be closed for fen years to allow administrations time to prepare proper and enlightening programs for students.

McCOY SAID that a l l current educational innovation was a "fraud." He said students would not miss a thing if schools were shut down.

Ocean H i l l - B r o w n s v i l l e district is the experiment in community control of schools that figured in the 1968 New York teacher strike. He did pot say what a generation of students would do in the meantime.

School hoax continues in Alabama racists in desegregation cases similar to this case. Now there is a big movement to subsidize private and parochial schools wi th public taxes.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Sumter County in r u r a l Alabama was ordered by a federal court to desegregate but the change will probably alter the school system into an all black one.

IN SUMTER county there are 4.000 black students and only 1.000 whites. The whites will probably attend a private school system in the county.

Private schools have always been established havens for

Sumter County, bordering M i s s i s s i p p i , has partly desegregated its schools under a freedom-of-choi ce plan in which its predominantly white schools have become 20 percent Black. No whites chose to go to Black schools.

The Messenger of Allah Presents

The Muslim Program What the Muslims Wont 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 territory for the next 20 to 25 years—until w e are able to produce and supply our own needs.

Since we cannot get along with them in peace and equality, after giving them 400 years 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 America, justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or territory of our own.

5. We want freedom for all Believers of Islam now held in federal prisons. We want freedom for all black men and women now under death sentence in innumerable prisons in the North as well as the South.

We want every black man and woman to'have the freedom to accept or reject being separated from the slave master'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 a n s w e r to the problem b e t w e e n t w o people.

6. We want an immediate end to the police brutality and mob attacks against the so-called Negro throughout the United States.

We believe that the Federal government should intercede to see that black men and women tried in white courts receive justice in accordance with Ihe 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 years of free or nearly free labor, sweat and blood, which has helped America 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 ALL 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 all black children educated, taught and trained by their own teachers.

Under such schooling system we believe we will make a better nation of people. The United States government should provide, free, all necessary text books and equipment, schools and college buildings.

The" Muslim teachers shall be left free to teach and train their people in the way of righteousness, decency and self respect.

10. We believe that intermarriage or race mixing should be prohibited. We want the religion of Islam taught without hinderance or suppression.

These are some of the things that we, the Muslims, want for our people in North America.

What the Muslims Believe 1. WE BELIEVE in the One God Whose proper Name is Allah.

2. WE BELIEVE in the Holy Qur-an and in the Scriptures of all the Prophets of God. 3. WE BELIEVE 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. WE BELIEVE in Allah's Prophets and the Scriptures they brought to the people.

5. WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of the dead—not in physical resurrection—but in mental resurrection. We believe thct the so-called Negroes are most in need of mental resurrection: therefore, they will be resurrected first.

Furthermore, 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 America. We believe in the resurrection of the righteous.

6. WE BELIEVE in the judgement; we believe this first judgement will take place as God revealed, in America...

7. WE BELIEVE this is the time in history for the separation of the so-called Negroes and the socalled" white Americans. We believe the black man should be freed in name as well as in fact. By this we mean that he should be freed from the names imposed upon him by his former slave masters.

Names which identified him as being the slave master's slave. We believe that if we are free indeed,

The Honorable Elijah M u h a m m a d Messenger of Allah we should go in our own people's names—the black peoples of the earth.

8. WE BELIEVE in justice for all, whether in God or not; we believe as others, that we are due equal justice as human 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. WE BELIEVE 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 so-called Negro, they can prove it by dividing up America with their slaves.

We do not believe that America will 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 well.

10. WE BELIEVE that we who declared ourselves to be righteous Muslims, should not participate in wars which take the lives of humans. We do not believe thfs nation should force us to take part in such wars, for we have nothing to gain from it unless America agrees to give us the necessary territory wherein we may have something to fight for.

11. WE BELIEVE our women should be respected and protected as the women of other nationalities are respected and protected.

12. WE BELIEVE that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard 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 HIM there is no God and He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we all can live in peace together.

WHAT IS ISLAM? AND ISLAM is something new to our Black People in America and these two questions are often asked — WHAT IS ISLAM and WHAT IS A MUSLIM? THE Arab name, ISLAM, which means Entire Submission to the Will of God in His Religion, is what confuses the question. The Arabs call it Islam, which means 'to submit to the Will of God'.

OUR Black People were brought up by the enemy, white man, who did not want us to ever know anything about Islam because once the Black slave learned Islam, he would never be a slave anymore.

YOU can probably enslave a weak Muslim — one who likes the life of the wicked world of the devil. One who likes the life of the devil will not care for Islam, although you try to teach Islam to him. He is all but drunk and suffocated with the cares of this world of the wicked white race. It is hard to teach such a person righteousness.

ISLAM has many significances to it.

ISLAM IS WISDOM. ISLAM IS GUIDANCE OF GOD FOR MAN. ISLAM IS THE ONLY WAY OF GOD. Islam is called a religion, although Islam is not a religion. Islam is referred to as a religion due to the many hundreds of various kinds of religions practiced today. These various religions have captured the minds and hearts of the people, to believe in these religions, because they allow the people to practice the evils of this world's life.

ONE who continues to practice the evils of this world's life is called a weak Muslim, or a weak believer.

ISLAM, as one of.the scientists put it — is the sun of Law and Truth to outshine everything that goes for religion. Islam does not confuse the seeker, nor does Islam confound the believer. Islam is simple. This is why the sign of Islam is representing the sun, the moon and the stars.

ISLAM, the Divine Duty of Man . . . he has it in the universal order of things.

The Black Man has the right religion as there is no other religion that you can believe in, or read of, or know of, that has the truth of that religion backed by the universal order of things. Only Islam is backed by the universal order of things.

THIS IS WHY it takes much tricking and tempting of you, by the devil to pull you away from Islam, once you begin to believe in Islam. Once you begin to believe in Islam, it is very hard to change you.

MANY times the weak Muslim will

try to practice the evil of the devil, but he will not make a good actor as long as he knows Islam and is one of the believers of Islam.

THE white man — the evil race of people, knows Islam, but by nature they were not made to believe and to teach Islam. There are a few white people who believe Islam as sincerely as real Muslims do. These white people will see the Here - After or they will be around for a long, long time. But the white people and the Black People who oppose Islam will be cut off, and they will be cut off, soon.

ISLAM IS RIGHTEOUSNESS, ISLAM IS J U S T I C E . ISLAM IS EQUALITY, ISLAM IS FREEDOM. Islam is everything that the created man needs.

THE BLACK P E O P L E in America are by nature, born Muslim. The enemy, slave - making devil, deprived the Black Man in America of the knowledge of himself. Accordingly, they have deprived the Black Man in countries other than America, of the knowledge of self.

AN eye of luxury is the first thing the Black Man looks at the white man with.

This is why the white man's luxury must be brought to a naught. This is done to relieve the Black People who are in love with the white man because of his wealth and luxury.

THE white man got his wealth and luxury from the labor of the Black Man. The white man enslaves all who believe in him. The white man makes the Black Man work for him for little or nothing.

THE Black Man of Africa . . . the white man has robbed them of their good land which holds wealth in it. In Africa, the white man became the master over the wealth and he put the poor Black African to slave for little or nothing, to dig the wealth out of the earth and give it to the white man. Some of the poor Black African workers cannot change clothes.

They do not have enough money to buy a change of clothing. They have to wash and dry their clothes so that they can wear them the next day, until the garments are worn out. Think about it — working for 16 cents and 20 cents a day.

When could he ever buy a suit of clothes with that salary? The Black Man in Africa is pitiful, as the Black slave in America was, once upon a time.

NOW, THE ENEMY will make the Black slave in America look dignified like himself, in order to fool the Black African and other natives of the world of Black Man. They do this to make these other

Black Men fall for the white man's tricknollegy.

IN America, on the streets and in traffic, you cannot tell the master from the slave. The white master sells the Black slave his fine automobiles, if he is able to pay for them. They both look alike with fine clothes. This is to trick other Black People, to follow the white man.

WE MUST REMEMBER that the Jesus foretold the rich and wealthy man and the poor man under the parable of Lazarus and Divers, the rich man. But the end came to both. The end came to the wealth of the rich man and an end came to the poor man's lying down and wishing and grieving for the wealth of his master.

THEN like a modern Samson, he got angry and he wanted to pull the building down, even if he had to go down with it.

He is well angry with the white slave master when he wakes up and learns that he has been robbed so thoroughly that he does not even know himself.

THE Black Man in America has a wonderful chance to be set in heaven at once; and not in hell — if he will accept the opportunity, by accepting Islam.

ISLAM IS THE NATURAL RELIGION OF THE BLACK MAN .. ISLAM IS THE NATURE IN WHICH THE BLACK MAN WAS CREATED. The Black Man was created in the nature of righteousness and not in the nature of evil.

I do not care what you say about the Black Man he is not an evil man, by nature. The Black Man is good, by nature, and all you have to do is strip off that which is not himself. The Black Man, being born under and nursed by the enemy — the enemy will make you to be like he would like you to be. This is what has happened to us, The Black Man in America.

JUST think of how much love the Black Man and the Black woman of America has for the white people. You can hardly get the Black Man on the road to self. The road to self is an unlimited road, but the white man has fascinated the Black Man with wealth and luxury and the Black Man is not looking to do anything for self. He wants his self in the white man, just for the sake of temporary luxury.

THEY are satisfied just to work for the smile and the look of friendship of white people. The snake smiles at his prey until he gets him within his reach,

S-9

MUHAMMAD S P E A K S

WHAT IS A MUSLIM? J U L Y 10,1970

and then he swallows the prey. And in the Bible, there is a place where it teaches us that God Will Bring Out of the dragon's belly that which he has swallowed.

NO where in the Bible is the white man referred to by a good name. The Book begins with the white man symbolized as a snake in Genesis, and it ends with him as a snake, in Revelations.

WHY style the white man as a snake?

He has the characteristics of a snake. By nature, the snake will let you know that he does not like you. When the snake looks at you he begins to stick his tongue out. This is a warning that he does not like you. And the snake has a forked tongue and not a straight tongue. This warns you that he is something that is compared with a human being that also has a forked tongue, who tells lies on one side and the truth on the other side. But he keeps the lie going stronger than the truth. So the forked tongued person is something, which by nature it is not good to take him for a friend.

IN THE NATURE of the white man, he has a forked tongue. He will talk truth with you and he will talk evil with you.

This is what is called tricknollegy. He lies to you in one word and tells the truth in another word to keep you thinking that he is a friend of yours, by admitting the truth in one word and following it with a hundred more words that are other than the truth.

THE white man knows that by nature you are one of the righteous and if he can get you to believe him then he laughs at God and says, "If they follow me, you do not own them." Today, he would like to take all the so - called Negroes to hell with him by fooling them into thinking that he is a 'good adviser' to them, as the Holy Quran teaches you and me, in the 7th Surah. But when the show - down comes he denies that he is guilty of misleading you. He says that you misguided yourselves, "Had not, from among yourselves come a warner, a Messenger, warning you of these â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Your Days?"

REMEMBER these words "Your Days." Black Man, these are Your Days.

The white man's days are gone. As I have often said, I do not blame the white man for using the very nature in which he was made. It is the god of these white people who is to blame for making such a people.

And the white man obeys his god.

Everything you see him do he is made to do it. If you, Black Man, follow the white

man you are to blame for the consequences of your following an open enemy. The white man is not a secret enemy; he is an open enemy.

ISLAM is the only thing that can take our Black People into self again, after six thousand 6.000) years away from self.

We had four hundred (400) years here in America, as a regular experiment people, to be experimented on by the devil.

BLACK WOMEN SHOULD be made to stay away from the devil. And when enough Black Men believe in Islam they will keep our Black women out of the presence of the white man. The white man feels so sure of the power he has of tricking the Black Man, that day and night you see Black women on the television programs dancing around and doing his bidding in the public. These Black performers do not care anything about what you are trying to do to unite our Black People together. They do not care what you are trying to do to make the Black World love them. They do not care, and for the sake of a dollar they will destroy their own self for they do not know self. If the Black woman knew herself she would not dare allow herself to be destroyed by the devil.

WE have to teach the Black Woman herself. We are responsible for her knowing herself. Will you help me to make known the self of the Black Man and woman?

WHAT IS A MUSLIM? As I have foresaid, Allah (God) in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are due forever, has taught me that all Black Men, Black women and Black children are Muslim, by nature.

They are from the righteous. This is why the Bible teaches you under the name of Israel, that they will all be saved.

Naturally the white man would not teach you that this is referring to the Black slave, the Black Man in America.

Also, in the Bible, you have the parable of the bones waking up and uniting together and assembling a frame of bones. Then the lessons teaches you that they all did live.

THE HOLY QURAN, a later Book than the Bible verifies the Bible parable by teaching you and me that Allah (God) Gave Life to all. He called them once and they all stood up. The Bible has it symbolically that when the loud trumpet sounded, they all will wake up.

The Honorable Elijah M u h a m m a d Messenger of Allah

BLACK BROTHER AND, Black sister, you are by nature one of the righteous but you have been robbed of your righteousness and made to live unrighteousness until now you will be whipped into submission, by Divine Will and Power. You will be made to accept yourself.

T H E R E is no limit to the Nation of the Black Man. The Black Man will endure forever. God Himself Is With us.

Let us submit to Allah (God) and live forever.

PEACE Be with you. The Mercy of Allah (God) and His Blessings to he that believes and accepts his own ISLAM AND THE MUSLIMS continued next issue

ELIJAH MUHAMMAD, MESSENGER OF ALLAH, to you all.

(

islamic University P R O F I L E AND P U R P O S E T H E F A C T THAT ISLAMIC U N I V E R S I T Y is founded by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, through the guidance of Allah, holds bright promise for all young black students. The great urgency and need forced upon Messenger Muhammad to build this center is due to the ignorancy and lack of self knowledge of his people and others, that he thinks wili go a long way towards better understanding and relations between the Nations of the earth.

THIS U N I V E R S I T Y ' S I D E A S AND HOPES are to use scholars and scientists of all nationalities.

This idea of Messenger Muhammad's of a university of this type is one that all Nations and races would agree with Messenger Muhammad on the necessity of such a center for his people.

T H E B A S E O F T H E T E A C H I N G of the University is the knowledge of self and others and self respect and respect for others.

THIS C E N T E R IS D E S I G N E D TO house 10,000 (ten thousand) students of girls and boys and middle aged and aged people who want to be educated. It is designed also for a hospital, technology college, and a childrens' hospital and nursery. This would release—says Messenger Muhammad—some of the burdens of the white people's institutions of this kind for our patients.

But, Messenger Muhammad believes that the white people should aid him, financially, to build such an institution as he and his people are poor and would not be able to do so; or anyone who has sympathy for us to do something for self, throughout the world; we would accept it.

SOME O F T H E C O U R S E S of Messenger Muhammad for the University are as follows: CHRONOLOGIC HISTORY (Of self and others) TECHNOLOGY Construction Engineering Civil Engineering Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering

ASTRONOMY LANGUAGES So that the students of the University may be able to converse in the language of the people as the colleges, universities, and institutions of other Nations have provided this means of learning other languages so that we can converse with them in their own language.

SCIENCE Of the beginning of education of the people of earth.

MATHEMATICS The science and origin of mathematics.

RELIGION The various origins of religions and why Islam.

MEDICINE Students will be under the most highly learned doctors that the institution can acquire.

HEALTH We must have these such courses, and the study of drugs, as Messenger Muhammad teaches against drugs for our health, thai we might learn to live according to the law of nature. For these courses. Messenger Muhammad desires the best doctors obtainable.

SUCH C O U R S E S will be able to aid the black man in a better educational understanding between Nation and Nation.

FURTHER IDEAS OF MESSENGER MUHAMMAD O F AN E D U C A T I O N A L C E N T E R F O R HIS P E O P L E : This University. Educational Center, is being designed, not to disgrace Chicago and its people, but to increase the beauty of Chicago and its people. Messenger Muhammad desires to purchase the last highrise, where many of his people are now lodging, and then build the dropoff to these highrises, that must taper off to taller buildings of this new ground of an Educational Center.

T H E T A L L E S T B U I L D I N G , that is his idea to build on this ground, should taper off from the highrises. There will be no building of Messenger Muhammad's that will reach over seven stories.

His greatest desire is to buy the last highrise building, of which the estimated cost is not yet known. He has, however, heard that the owners would sell.

THIS W I L L G I V E T H E Islamic People one tall building beside Chicago's highrises, so that the drop-off of taller buildings will be shared by both the University of Islam and the now Chicago highrise building.

M E S S E N G E R MUHAMMAD WANTS TO make such a beautiful site that people coming into the U.S.A., whether by land, sea, or air, would admire it. As you may know, Messenger Muhammad in his dealings now with slums; he erases them and puts beautiful buildings there. He hopes to do this, not only on this site but throughout the southside of Chicago. Messenger Muhammad, according to his ideas given to me, is to make this southside of Chicago a more respectful and civilized area than ever before since the building of Chicago.

Naturally, it is understood, that we will follow building codes of the city that are binding upon all builders who build in the area of Chicago.

T H E MONEY TO B E R A I S E D for this purpose runs beyond $50,000,000.00 (Fifty Million Dollars).

And, he is trying, now and hoping with the good promise of financial people of the country, to aid

him in doing this work on this site in Chicago and America, which will give better relations for America and the world.

FARMING-Messenger Muhammad is now trying to contact the best agricultural teachers that he can find, that he may be able to produce the better crops, baring food for people, animals, and fowl.

One of the greatest programs of Messenger Muhammad is better housing conditions for the Southern Black farmers, which demands quite a bit of money; and to teach the Southern Black People how to respect self and others — to re educate the South, out of ignorance and into a civilized and decent way of life.

MESSENGER MUHAMMAD FURTHER B E L I E V E S that America, as wise as she is and as rich as she is, will agree with him after a knowledge of the truth of his plans for a better people, that he needs finance to aid him. This would come back to them plentifully. All students of this University will pay a certain fee that they are able to pay (which we do not put here in writing because we have not taken a census of the students who can pay and those who cannot pay).

But, in this institution, everyone must be able to pay something for their learning. The exact figures will come later for the students' fees.

M E S S E N G E R MUHAMMAD IS DEMANDING MILLIONS of dollars that only powerful, rich financial companies and governments could supply. And, the writer hopes that you will supply Messenger Muhammad with his needs.

Messenger Muhammad says that no financial backer of his work could ever lose, for God Himself is behind him and certainly will bless the one who finances him with tremendous success in this life and the Hereafter as well.

M E S S E N G E R MUHAMMAD N E E D S LOANS of several millions of dollars to finance the city programs of Chicago and other cities wherein Islam is suffering for financial aid and throughout the South where he is trying to purchase farm land to raise food for the Black Man and White, if White needs it. He is also teaching the Black People against laziness and to do something for self instead of begging the White Man.

SO, H E IS S E E K I N G F I N A N C I A L H E L P and believes that he can pay on this kind of help under reasonable said terms of the financier.

TO G I V E M E S S E N G E R MUHAMMAD'S AIMS in a few words; It is to better the condition and relationship of the Black Man here in America.

I THANK Y O U for reading the ideas and intentions of Messenger Muhammad for an E D U C A T I O N A L C E N T E R — as he has given to me here to convey to you — on this site.
