By Ali M.

Legendary Korean History: Its Battles With Colonialism Cited By New Leader By Joe Walker B E R L I N , GDR—One of the most ancient continuous nations in the world is Korea. It dates its legendary beginning in 2333 B.C. It was ruled by a succession of kings and dynasties. One of them—Saejong (1419-50) ranks as one of the great monarchs in world history, inventor of the han-gul, a 24-letter phonetic alphabet. In 1592 Korea was invaded by Hideyoshi, a Japanese warlord who planned the conquest of all Asia. He was defeated by Korean Admiral Y i Soonshin, who invented the "turtle boat," the world's first ironclad war vessel. Following the defeat of the Japanese in World War I I , Korea was divided along the 38th parallel with Russian soldiers in the north and American troops in the south. On June 25, 1950 the Korean War began, with the U.S. government claiming North Korea invaded South Korea. In bloody, seesaw battles for the next t h r e e years the front swayed alternately north and south, and after two years of truce talks a truce was signed on July 27, 1953. Since then, Korea has been a potential power keg. At the World Assembly for Peace here M U H A M M A D SPEAKS spoke with Kang Rang Yook, president of the North Korean National Peace Committee. "Today the flames of the struggle of the hundreds of millions of people of the world against the colonial and neo-colonial policies of the imperialists, headed by the United States, and for

JUST A F E W WEEKS AGO, Israel's ruling Labor Party officially declared that Israel will not withdraw from Jerusalem, Gaza Strip, the southern Sanai desert, the Aqaba Gulf, the Golan Heights, and the Jordan valley. While Mrs. Meir talks about peace, the military planes are almost daily attacking Egyptian positions and napalming Jordanian civilian targets. Furthermore, her occupational forces are still intimidating, persecuting, murdering, and jailing Arabs in the lands conquered in June, 1967. In her quest for peace, Golda Meir is v i s i t i n g the United States to thank the Nixon administration for the delivery of the first shipment of the extremely offensive phantom jets and to ask the U. S. government for more military and financial assistance as a prize for Israel's aggression and for her efforts in obstructing the progress and development of the Arab people. WHAT IS R E A L L Y TRAGIC is to see the United States, a major power which helped to create the United Nations for the purpose of bringing peace, justice, and international order among the world community, supporting Israel which in her twenty-one-year history has persistently ignored the U.N. resolutions. By aiding the Zionist aggressors and not the Arab victims, the U. S. government is violating the U. N. Charter that she herself helped write. Instead of arming the conquered, dispossessed Palestinians to regain their fundamental r i g h t s , the American regime is arming the "victorious" conquerers. Even Mr. Rifai, a dedicated servant of Western imperialism and the foreign minister of the puppet king of Jordan, charged the U. S. government with ob-

A H M E D A B A D . India — Al though the death toll during recent upheavals throughout India —innocously called "riots" by the Western press—has passed the 1,500 mark, little or nothing has been reported in the American news media concerning the cause of the uprisings.

Laos Guerrillas Escalate Attacks on American Bases WASHINGTON — F r e e d o m fighters are swiftly escalating their attacks on U.S. installations in Laos where "hundreds of American lives" have been lost," according to Senate Democratic leader, Mike Mansfield. H E WARNED recently that U n i t e d States involvement in Laos has grown to "disturbing proportions," and called for an immediate freeze on the level of U.S. personnel there and in the rest of Southeast Asia. Mansfield, in a special report to the Senate foreign relations committee on his recent twoweek trip to Asia, called for a "rigid and immediate curb" on military assistance throughout Asia and an immediate freeze "on all official personnel increases, military or civilian, in Southeast Asia. The Senator joined a mounting chorus of protests from other congressmen about the gradual spreading of the Viet Nam war into neighboring Laos. The majority leader said he did not believe the warnings resulted from new developments t h e r e , although he told reporters that United States air sorties into Laos "have increased significantly in recent weeks." Sen. S t u a r t Symington (DMo.), who begins a subcommittee investigation of the situation next week, says the U n i t e d States has been at war in Laos for years. The people of Laos are reported to be very bitter against the U.S.-puppet regime and the increasing involvement of American private interests who are plundering the resources of the country. Mansfield said in his report that the growth of U.S. involvement in Laos was in part "extended indirectly through private contractors." " I T SEEMS to me that, as a minimum, every effort must be made to avoid any further magnification of the American pres-

ence in Laos," he said. "Most importantly, any enlarging commitment of United States military forces in this remote region must be restrained."

CORE'S Ford Aid

Scheduled Foundation Revealed

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Congress On Racial E q u a l i t y , (CORE) is seeking grants from white foundations in order to prop up slated business adventures within the Black community, here, it was announced earlier this week. T H E SUMS of the g r a n t CORE is beseeching the Ford Foundation for, are listed at: $6,000 and $150,000. Both of the "b u s i n e s s e s" (formed with the expressed intention of "developing the economic potential of the Black community") would be in the area of service, rather than production. The larger sum of foundation money would establish a food catering business, and the smaller pledge would go for a building maintenance service. T H E BUSINESSES would be owned by CORE, managed by Blacks, and engaged in business in white and Black areas.

AHMEDABAD has a population of 1.5 million. Large-scale incidents of a r s o n destroyed h u n d r e d s of "upper-class" homes. More than 10,000 persons were without shelter, according to .reports. Many took refuge in sports .stadiums and other public places under armed guard. In the meantime, the uprisings have spread to other parts of the country.

U.S. Population Reaches a High o f 201,921,000 WASHINGTON — The population of the U.S.A. reached 201,921,000 on July 1, an increase of 2,000,000 over a year ago, and an increase of 22,000,000 since the I960 census, according to the Census Bureau. CALIFORNIA now has a population of 1,000,000 over that of New York; the total is 19,443,000 in California, compared w i t h 18,321,000 for New York. Behind California and New York were Pennsylvania w i t h 11,803,000, and Texas with 11,187,000, and Illinois with a population total of 11,047,000. The population of California has increased in nine years, over twice as much as its runner-up—Texas, which had an increase of 1,608,000 or 16.8 per cent. The state with the largest increase of the 50 states in nine years—60.2 per cent—is the second smallest state in population —going from 285,000 people to 457,000. California, however increased by 3,725,000 since 1960; this is a 25.4 percentage increase. T H E POPULATIONS of only five states declined in the last year—North Dakota went from 624,000 people to 615,000; South Dakota fell from 665,000 to 665,000; Nebraska fell from 1,453,000 to 1,449,000; Montana fell from 696,000 to 694,000; Wyoming fell from 322,000 to 320,000. Arizona was the second fastest growing state since the 1960 census, up 30 per cent. Florida was third in percentage growth at 28.3 per cent. The population of the West increased 21.1 per cent since 1960; the South increased 14.8 per cent; North Central U.S.A. increased 8.6 per cent; the Northeast increased 9.2 per cent.

MUHAMMAD SPEAKS

Agent Admits Recording A l l Conversations of Black Leader FBI W i r e t a p p e r (Special to Muhammad Speaks) HOUSTON—An F B I agent recently testified that the telephone conversations of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad have been w i r e t a p p e d by federal agents for at least four years. T H E TESTIMONY proved the accuracy of words The Honorable Elijah Muhammad wrote years earlier in Message to the Blackman (p. 219) "The message I bring is not for the cowards. Those of you who follow me must be ready to withstand the barbs and insults of those who come to investigate, pry and claim that our ultimate aim is to undermine the American way of life. We have no such intentions and our critics know it. "How ironic it is that the very people who charge us with disturbing the status quo themselves go around raping, lynching, d e n y i n g citizens the right to vote and talking in the halls of Congress to call you and me everything from a beast to an amoral entity." The information was brought to light ai, a hearing ordered by the U.S. Supreme Court. The hearing concerned the draft-refusal trial of the world heavyweight boxing champion, the defendant in the case. F B I agent C. Barry Pickett admitted during cross examination that he wiretapped and summarized all conversations of Elijah Muhammad while working as a clerk in the Phoenix, Arizona F B I office from 1962 through 1966. Charles Morgan, the defendant's attorney, asked Pickett, "You spent four years of your life listening to conversations of the leader of the Muslim religion?" "Yes sir," Pickett replied. Morgan then tried to find out the specific reasons for the wiretapping: wiretapping evidence cannot "legally" be used in a case unless a valid reason for tapping the phones is given in court. Wiretapping, itself, is supposedly illegal unless the wiretappers' show that they are trying to make a definite conviction. • In this case, however, U.S. District Court Judge Joe Ingraham did not make the wiretappers explain their motives. " I am trying to prove he ( P i c k e t t ) had specific instructions to obtain information on the religious beliefs of this defendant," Morgan told Judge Ingraham. If the judge admitted that specific instructions had to have been given to Pickett, it would have meant that the government's prosecution of the defendant is an unconstitutional violation of the defendant's religious freedom. Morgan, however, could not prove what Pickett's specific instructions were. Pickett repeatedly maintained that he had only been given general instructions to wiretap Elijah Muhammad's phone. This testimony may prove troublesome since accepting it means that the government can

o n M u h a m m a d ' s

T e l e p h o n e

give out a "general instruction" to wiretap any citizen. TO E V A D E this issue, four t a p e d conversations involving the defendant w e r e admitted into evidence while a fifth recording was kept sealed. Judge Ingraham said that he would not admit the fifth tape into evidence b e c a u s e such action "could endanger national security." The judge did not say on what basis he determined this. One of the four admissable tapes, Pickett t e s t i f i e d , contained a conversation between Elijah Muhammad and the defendant on March 24,1964. D u r i n g the phone talk, Pickett testified, Elijah Muhammad was quoted as advising the d e f e n d a n t he would make a better, minister than fighter. Morgan maintained that the fact that this part of the conversation was prepared in Pickett's written summary proved that the Muslims' religious beliefs were principal targets of specific F B I wiretap orders. "MY INSTRUCTIONS were to monitor conversations both in the home and by telephone and make notes of conversations by Elijah M u h a m m a d," Pickett said. " I recorded all conversations I heard but prepared only pertinent facts to go into the log." "You obtained the information by electronic bugging?" Morgan asked. "Correct," answered Pickett. Then he admitted that his job was to prepare summaries of each conversation. "What to you was pertinent?" Morgan asked. "Whatever I considered of value," Pickett claimed. "What criteria did you employ for determining what you considered pertinent?" "There were written instructions but not for a particular case. They are general, a guideline as to what we were to usten for, facts relevant to the case we were working on." T H E BLATANT injustice committed by so-called "Law and Order" agents was fully described by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad years before this trial in his essay, "We Seek Truth and Justice": "Just to mention 'justice' for a so-called Negro In the South is an insult to the judge, who is supposed to be the judge of right and wrong between the state and opposing attorneys . . . The socalled Negroes do not have justice under the law, not only in the South, but anywhere in America."

Milwaukee's Black Poor Take Over Army Barracks as Last Resort for Housing MILWAUKEE—Several Black families who have been unable to find housing to fit their meager incomes, have moved into a former Army disciplinary barr a c k s here which they call "Fort Homeless." SEVEN F A M I L I E S have moved into the barracks recently. All said they were about to be evicted or had been evicted from their homes and all were protesting the lack of adequate low-cost housing in the city. Officials of the tenants union said two more families were expected to move in, bringing the number of persons living in the government quarters to 70. The Black families have the backing of labor unions and are fighting for a reprieve from an eviction notice. The Army has requested that the U.S. Attorney's office start proceedings to remove the families from the Federally-owned barracks, but David Cannon, the U.S. Attorney, said the "whole thing is under discussion."

"We think your struggle here is heroic," said Harvey Kitzman, UAW regional director. "You have tried to help yourselves." Floyd Lucia, president of the UAW Community Action group, said the takeover of the barracks was morally justified because of the housing shortage. He urged all local unions to support the tenants by "marching side by side with them should an effort be made to evict the families."

Afro-American Police League Head Harassed By Chicago Officials (Pan .African Press) The p r e s i d e n t of Chicago's A f r o - A m e r i c a n Patrolmen's League, one of the first all-Black police organizations in the country has become the subject of a sinister plot to deprive the organization of leadership and destroy the influence of the organization over the city's 2,200 Black policemen. Renault Robinson, president of the Black police league, is scheduled to appear before the department's Internal Investigation Division to answer charges of alleged negligent driving during off-duty hours. Legal counsel for the policeman will be Sen. Richard H. Newhouse, Atty. Kermit C o l e m a n of the HI. Chapter, American Civil Liberties Union and Atty. Eric Graham, former director of the Illinois Bar Association. THE 2 7 - Y E A R - O L D officer, who joined the Chicago Police department five years ago, said he has been "harassed" ever since he and several other officers founded the Afro police league last year. He said that for four years, he had never drawn a single day's suspension or been cited for any code violations until the league was formed: "Since that time, I have drawn five summary suspensions for periods of one or two days and numerous reprimands." In addition, the young officer's shift was changed to less desirable night hours which prevented him from attending college credit courses at Roosevelt university.

The final act in the department's dogged efforts to destroy Robinson's reputation came this week, while he was driving in a predominantly white district during off-duty hours. Robinson said he was driving alone in his car when white officer stopped him. The officer summoned his superiors to the scene, one of whom reportedly said: "That's Robinson, lock him up." According to Robinson, he was taken to police headquarters and forced to take a breathalizer test for evidence of drinking. Speaking of his arrest, Robinson said:

"I've seen many people arrested before but the way they processed me was strange." Immediately after his release on $50 bond, the league held a press conference in which Robinson disclosed details of his arrest and the history of department harassment behind it. Robinson received wide community support and retained his legal counsel. E X E C U T I V E DIRECTOR of the Afro-American Patrolmen's League Edward 'Buzz' Palmer, said that "since the press conference, the police department has

"All of these incidents occuired not because ships or planes of our country entered the territorial waters or air of the United States but because the U.S. ship and plane violated the territorial waters and air of our c o u n t r y , " declared Kang Rang Yook. The Korean peace leader insists that his is a peace-loving country. He said that never from ancient times on have his p e o p l e committed aggression against any country or provoked anyone first. "The issue is that the United States came to our country many t h o u s a n d s of miles away from their country to provoke us and play with fire," he said. Asked about a resolution of the Korean situation, Kang Rang Yook pulled a paper from his briefcase and read a statement by Kim I I Sung, North Korea's highest official: " . . . We have all along proceeded from the position that the unification issue, an internal question of our nation, should be solved on the independent principle w i t h o u t any interference of o u t s i de forces, in a democraticway and by peaceful means. "The basic measures we have invariably suggested for the unification of the country are: to establish a unified, democratic, central government by means of free North-South general elections following the withdrawal of all foreign troops." The government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) has proposed a series of transitional measures towards a peaceful unification of all of Korea. The measures include e c o n o m i c and cultural exhcanges between North and South Korea, mail exchange between parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends living separated in the two parts, reduction of the armed forces by the two sides and the conclusion of a peace agreement between the two present governments. As the question of mutual cooperation was solved gradually then it was projected a unified government could be established by h o l d i n g North-South general elections. However, according to Kang Rang Yook, the U.S. overseers and the South Korea clique oppose all these proposals too, and "are arresting, imprisoning, severely p u n i s h i n g and even slaughtering South Korean people who merely express the desire to unify the country by peaceful means. Not long ago, U.S. imperialism and the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique bestially killed Choi Yong Do, an indomitable revolutionary fighter, in prison and are scheming to kill international journalist p r i z e winner Kim Jong Tae, an ardent patriot. Further, they have imprisoned such patriots as K i m Kyu Nam and Pak Dae In and are persecuting them brutally,"

Palmer said that the change may have been prompted by the strong community reaction to Robinson's arrest. "FROM T H E N U M B E R of calls that the league has been getting at the league offices, it is evident that numerous citizens and Black officials are incensed at what has happened to Reggie (Robinson)." The first Black official to support the officer was State Sen. Richard Newhouse. With Robinson scheduled to appear before the Internal Investigations Committee of the police department in two weeks, Palmer said that he hopes that "this will not be another Dreyfus case. "In this age of enlightenment, we hope that the light will reach into the dark crevices of the Chicago Police Department." L e g a l l y , Palmer said, the league will take vigorous action. "We are initiating several suits against the police department," he said.

It is known that South Africa will pay for the project from the toil of Blacks. The dam fits into the plans by whites for a huge power grid to promote economic development, cooperation and inter-dependence of white-dominated states within the area. On completion, the dam's total capacity will be 4,000 megawatts, or nearly twice that of Egypt's Aswan Dam.

MUHAMMAD SPEAKS

E X C L U S I V E Part II: Does Separatism Hurt Black U n i t y ? R

B Y JOHN WOODFORD (Special to Muhammad Speaks) DETROIT—(In Part I of this series, Robert Williams mentioned the need to build a united front of all Black people o p p r e s s e d to the United States—a front which can unite with similar united fronts in other nations. Williams emphasized tbe fact that unity of purpose, discipline and patience form the bonds which effectively unite people against their enemies. He said that all Black people—regardless of nationality, shade, religion o r economic position—can unify around the purpose of making their brothers and sisters, their families and themselves, secure, healthy, happy and creative. A similar purpose, Williams said, powered the recent Cultural Revolution in the People's R e p n b l i c o f China which he and his family witnessed during their eight-year exile. MUHAMMAD SPEAKS: What made you deckle to return from China? ROBERT. W I L L I A M S: The Chinese people know the history of the oppression of the Black man in the United States, and they sincerely support our cause —so much so that we were celebrities. We got treated so well in China that I began to feel guilty since our people are suffering in the United States. MS: How did you and the Chinese keep u p - t o - d a t e on Black people's struggle in this country? RW: In all honesty, one of the things I am most thankful to The Honorable Elijah Muhammad for is his paper, MUHAMMAD SPEAKS. It was the only good source of information I could find on the Black man in America. Most Black publications dont give accurate information. I recommended it to all the people I visited, and the foreign reception everywhere is so positive that it was a source of pride to me as a Black man. Everyone who reads it admires it, especially the people in government circles. What do you think of the other programs of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad? All Black people are indebted to The Honorable Elijah Muhammad for instilling race pride in our people. He's been teaching about the land q u e s t i o n since a long time ago. We should always give him credit for that and this should bring us all closer together. He is a pioneer in this and other things. How do you, as president of a political organization, analyze the land question and the need to build a Black government? We Black people are already outside the government of the United States. It we were within it, if we were not now separate, we and whites would have equal rights, equal justice. If they insist that we should continue to be separated, then we should separate honorably so that we can govern ourselves. As a people, we are not accorded the things that should be

VISITING M A O T Z E - T U N S , Robert and Mabel Williams found Chinese leader as firm a supporter of the Black liberation movement as the average Chinese citizen Is. Williams p r o v i d e d by a government— things which are automatically provided to almost all white people. But you have already said that most Black people do not agree upon the need for a separate territory at this time, haven't you? That's right. You can't require everybody to be on the same level or you can't build a united front. You have to go to people and see what they need and want. If most people think that struggling within the system will bring them what they want, the united front should press those struggles that people think are necessary. Do you mean that those people who think that some particular pattern will inevitably develop during the struggle should show their conviction by joining struggles the majority wants, so that other Black people can come to the same conclusion based on their own experiences? Yes. You see, our people think we all have to agree on everything before we can unite. They think we have to look alike, talk alike, live alike. The white power structure wants us to think we all have to be alike to unite. But this isn't true. During the Chinese struggle for national liberation even the bourgeois nationalists took part in the fight. If you just want a fraternitytype organization, it's OK to try to make people be and act alike. But if you want liberation, you need the MASS POWER of your people. Many people wonder whether you think that the U.S. government will peaceably grant African Americans enough territory to live on; and they wonder whether you think that a separate B l a c k government—so close, geographically, to the pre-

sent type of government in the USA—would be forced by action or inaction to condone the U.S. government's oppression of other nations? Our present situation has been caused not just by economic but also by emotional problems of white racists, so there is really no way and no need to predict what will happen. That would be unrealistic. But if the powerful crackers think that giving us land is their salvation, they'll do it. But after all, you can't expect a group which has kept you enslaved for 400 years to just give you justice. You've returned after eight years to face possible conviction on trumped-up k i d n a p p i n g charges. What kind of justice do you expect in your trial? I can't discuss details of the case. But I hope to defend myself in Michigan courts rather than North Carolina courts. The

Charges Withholding of Brand-Name Product Report WASHINGTON—The Nixon administration is withholding safety and value information on hundreds of brand-name products tested by the government, Ralph Nader, consumer crusader, recently charged. IN A L E T T E R to Herbert Klein, the administration's director of communications, Nader said a task force report recommending disclosure of the results of government testing of products "has been squelched as a practical matter." Nader said the report, prepared for President Johnson, ind i c a t e d that six government agencies were prepared to release substantial information on

most of the products used by consumers. The six agencies were the departments of defense, agriculture, the department of health, education and welfare, the general services administration, national bureau of standards and the veterans administration. The report stated the agencies already performed the research involved, but did not make public their findings. Nader charged that the task force's recommendations "have either been ignored or actively opposed" by the administration, led by the bureau of the budget and " a highly unsympathetic presidential staff."

Phillips was charged with interfering with a police officer; Lewis was arrested on a charge of profanity; and Williams was charged with drunkenness. O F F I C E R SMITH also told how a police sergeant walked into the room while the men were being beaten and was ordered to "stay out of this. "You are off duty, go home . . . this isn't any of your business," the sergeant was told, related Smith. Phillips said an officer hit him in the jaw and threatened him by saying, " I ought to kill you nigger." He said while he was being held face down by one cop, he was kicked in the ribs. He said he begged the policeman not to kick him because he had just undergone surgery. Officer Smith said he submitted a report of the incident to Supt. Jim Brown. Smith said he was intimidated for making the report, and requesting that it be brought before the Aldlermanic Police committee. Police Chief Herbert Jenkins issued a statement after Smith's press conference. Jenkins said that he had a copy of the report and an investigation is being

NEW YORK—While the Pentagon escalates its frantic efforts to crush G I resistance to the Viet Nam war and racism in the services, the G I movement is putting the military establishment on trial. T H E ORGANIZING WORK inside military bases by such organizations as the American Servicemen's Union and the G I Defense Organization has ruptured the iron-tight control over the minds of rank-and-file GIs. And rebellions by prisoners in post stockades and by Black and Puerto Rican entlisted men have created a new era in the struggle.

Bragg, N.C., a Black G I who helped found the organization called GIs United Against the War in Viet Nam, is a member of the steering committee for the conference.

Proposals expected to be considered at this national meeting include the guarantee of freedom of speech for GI's, freedom of the press and assembly, due p r o c e s s rights to servicemen, and legislation to enforce the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment by the officers' caste and their agents. The A m e r i c a n Servicemen's Union has asked organized labor to support the G I movement. Brochures distributed at factory gates by ASU m e m b e r s ask workers: "Would you work for less than $4.00 a day? Would you submit to a system under which a boss could put you in jail for not saying 'Sir' to him? "Would you h a n d l e deadly c h e m i c a l s , poisons, plague germs, forcing them upon people —women and children—just because the boss told you it was all right and in fact ordered you to do it? "YOU WOULD DO all these things and more if you were a G I in the non-union U.S. Army, Navy or Marines today."

M a s s e s M e e t In Final T r i b u t e T o Spirit Of B e l o v e d Freedom Fighter: ' U n c l e Ho' By Joe Walker NEW YORK—Around the corner from T i m e s Square, over 1,000 New Yorkers packed the grand ballroom of the Hotel Diplomat Sept. 18 to pay tribute to the memory of one of the greatest revolutionary h e r o e s in world history. No counter-pickets were present outside and no uniformed cops visible, as the audience, with a sizeable numand other youths, loudly applauded speechs about "Uncle Ho" and vowed to intensify the struggle for immediate and total withdrawal of U.S. troops from Viet Nam.

Arab Spokesmen In UN Hit American Finance Of Israel U N I T E D NATIONS—While Arab guerilla units are attending an all-Islamic Summit Conference in Rabat, spokesmen for the country are presently in the U.N. charging the United States has delayed peace in the Middle East by its support of Israel. S u d a n e s e prime Minister Sayed Babiker Awadilla led a policy debate on the floor of the UN General Assembly in which he declared that Israel is " a colony of aliens nurtured by the United States." Added to his comments were remarks by UAR Foreign Minister Mahmoud Riad who urged

that the Middle East follow a policy of "compatible justice" in line with the UN charter and the principle of the Arab man's right to human peace. Over the past 20 years, Sudanese Prime Minister Awadilla confirmed, United States public and private aid to Israel has 'exceeded a total four billion dollars—or about $1,200 for every one of the citizens of Israel." Awadalla told the 126-nation assembly that he seriously questioned whether the world would not have been better off without the United States.

"The need of people to liquidate all oppression in order to govern themselves, by and for themselves is what Ho Chi Minh lived and died for," declared James Johnson, one of the many Afro-American speakers during the evening. "He symbolized the struggle for peace, democracy, socialism and national liberation," Johnson said. Johnson was one of the "Fort Hood Three," the first Americans to refuse to fight in Viet Nam and who served long prison sentences for their stand which mushroomed into massive anti-Viet Nam war and draft opposition. Recently he was a member of a U.S. peace delegation that went to the Democratic Pepublic of Viet Nam (North Viet Nam) to obtain three released American prisoners of war. He recalled the enormous destruction he saw during his 19 days in North Viet Nam caused by one million tons of American explosives. But more importantly, Johnson found that the determination of the Vietnamese people had not been broken. "They had not been bombed back into the Stone Age but they were instead a people who had moved into the 21st Century," he said.

A m e r i c a : By Lonnic Kashif (MS Washington Bureau) WASHINGTON, D C — A s i d e from the direct and obvious diabolical schemes to destroy the poor of the minority population in America, hundreds and thousands of members of this nation's largest minority group are daily dying as a result of inadequate health care, subtly and oft times flagrantly denied. Today, a growing number of scholars have noted the inconsistency of America's role as the number one industrial power, and it's rank of 16th among the nations in infant m o r t a l i t y deaths. "The United States is the most technically advanced country in the world, but it is one of the most disadvantaged in the d e l i v e r y of adequate health care," declared Dr. Paul Comely, director of C o m m u n i t y Health Services at Howard University School of Medicine. Interviewed by MUHAMMAD SPEAKS, Comely pointed out that Black people, proportionally make up the "bulk of America's critical health statistics. America's failure to meet the national health crisis reflected by growing mortality statistics, would suggest that her indifference to the poor coupled with her racist tendencies overrides her concern for national health care. " T H E GOVERNMENT, at this time, has cut down on money provided to medical institutions for loans," Cornely complained. While such cut backs might be little more than an irritant to white medical circles, it becomes a catasthrope for Blacks. The piece-meal health services provided by t h e government, and lauded officially as evidence of the administration's concern for the poor, turn out in fact to be shams—and even worse, humiliating insults to the poor. "Attempts to solve the problem through such things as medicaid have failed," Comely contends, "because of the insistence on eligibility requirements. Poor people have to prove that they are poor, which is disgraceful, and of course undignified." To add to the "eligibility" barrier, the individual states—including those like Mississippiare left to decide who receives aid under the medicaid program in their state. "The cost of medicaid has also risen, and many hospitals now refuse to accept these patients." T h e s e aid-to-the-poor pro-

grams, as several Congressional hearings have revealed, have a b u i l t - i n racist matrix, which serves to perpetuate sickness, disease, death and dispondency among the needy. " T H E CARE for the poor, is poor," Cornely emphasized, "it was reported that last year more than 6,000 patients needing medical attention got up and walked out of the emergency room at D C . General hospital, after waiting t e r r i b l y long hours." The D C . General h o s p i t a l , typical of most major city public health institutions, was recently the scene of a threatened strike by staff doctors because they had become "sick of having to render inadequate health services for the public." The doctors revealed what had been common knowledge to the poor —that "The poor are turned away with little attention, a bandage of sorts, less than required medkal dosages for their ills—unless they are near-dead. And many times it's then too late." IRONICALLY, T H E DOCTORS' revolt at D.C. General was led by whites, and several foreign internes who are fastly monopolizing staff positions. Comely sees as part of the problem, the fact "that Black physicians make up only about 2 per cent of the total number of medical doctors in the country," and the rapid i n c r e a s e of foreigners turning up on hospital boards and staffs throughout the country. "There are now somewhere between 30 and 40 thousand foreign p h y s i c i a n s," he said, "many of whom marry and take up residence." Pointing out also that mary qualified Blacks are excluded from hospital board policy-making p o s i t i o n s, the community health director added that this results in lack of adequate knowleddge and concern for the plight of the Black community. "The doctor must have empathy and sympathy with the patients." For Black doctors, having the actual experience of problems affecting Black people, case diagnosis is enhanced. All of this, Comely states, highlights the need for more Black physicians. "Although there are 101 medical schools in the country, we are not graduating enough Black doctors." Until two years ago, Cornely recalled, "there were

very few medical schools, aside from Meharry and Howard, both predominately B l a c k , which could be said to have made an effort to recruit Black students." E V E N AT HOWARD Dental school C o r n e r 1 y added, "last year's freshman class was predominately white." There has been some increasing recruitment of Blacks by white colleges of late, he points out, but this unfortunately adversely affects the Howard and Meharry programs: "The white colleges now offer large scholarship and tutoral help.

"Smog, water pollution, noise, lack of sanitation—garbage trash, solid waste d i s p o s a l , " especially affect the inner-city, where most Blacks live under congested circumstances and the problem becomes thousand-fold. City administrators daily show seeming contempt for environmental plights of Black people such as ill-housing, lack of clothing, and poor nourishment—consequently the public hospitals have begun to resemble "stables" rather than health care institutions.

N i g e r i a n S t u d e n t s S e n d N i x o n Letter P r o t e s t i n g P o l i c e S u p p o r t of ' B i a f r a n s ' WASHINGTON —The following letter was sent to the president of the United States, three Washington-area newspapers and to MUHAMMAD SPEAKS: MR.

PRESIDENT:

It is with grave concern, deep feeling of being slighted and being disgraced by a section of your government that I write this letter to you. On September 12, 1969, I went to the Police Headquarter at 300 Indiana Avenue N.W. to apply for a permit on behalf of the Washington Branch of The Nigerian Students Union in the Americas to hold a rally. I booked the starting point for the Scott Circle, 16th and Massachusetts Avenue N.W. The route of the rally was to be on Massachusetts Avenue westwards to the Dupont Circle and from there to the White House. The rally was scheduled for September 20' 1969. Your police o f f i c i a l s went through my application and found nothing to complain about. They gave me the assurance that the students should go ahead with this rally and that they would be given maximum protection.

Architect Calls WASHINGTON — A r c h i t e c t s here are saying that airports may take on the shape of highrise apartment buildings popular to the nation's cities. " E X I S T I N G AIRPORTS waste space," architect Gideon Jeremitsky, of the architect firm William Small Inc., said. Jeremitsky said that in large cities like New York and Chicago, airports should have highrise terminal buildings just as b u s i n e s s e s and housing units have become high-rise buildings. In addition, he said that airports should have d u a l - l a y e r ramp and run-way systems. Under this system, airplanes would pass on different levels while taxiing. Take-off and arrival runway systems would be totally separate. All runways would radiate from separate arrival and departure terminals. "TODAY'S J E T L I N E R is so powerful it can take off or land at almost any angle to the wind," Jeremitsky said. He added that this would enable planes to take off and land on different • f l o o r s ' on multi-layered runways. He said that existing runways

Tells How Drug Firms Urge Medics to Fleece Public WASHINGTON—The well-established practice of fleecing the sick and helpless for the benefit of the rich and powerful was a t t a c k e d recently by noted Washington columnist Jack Anderson. Anderson, who collaborated in a widely-syndicated column with the late Drew Pearson and now c o n d u c t s the column alone, points out that brand-name drug firms are financing "happy outings and valuable gifts for the doctors" who write prescriptions for their products. " T H E B I G DRUG companies spend millions each year to proselyte and persuade doctors to prescribe drugs by their brand names," Anderson states. "The cost is merely added to the price of b r a n d - n a m e drugs, which sell for as high as 10 times more than the same drugs cost under their generic names." In short, drug compounds containing the exact quality and quantity of chemicals sold under generic names are marketed under brand names at a price ten times higher. "The doctors who accept the lavish hospitality of the drug companies quite naturally feel an o b 1 i g.a t i o n to prescribe brand-name, drugs for their patients," the famous columnist notes. "In this way," he asserts, "the sick and the suffering wind up providing the money that the drug manufacturers squander on

doctors." ANDERSON SAYS that by a conservative estimate of one insider, the pharmaceutical houses spend an average of $3,000 a year on every M.D. in the country. This takes the form of contest winnings, research fees, gift medical equipment and all-expenses-paid vacations. "Once the Upjohn Co. sent out $5 checks to doctors across the country as an inducement for them to try Upjohn pills and powders," the columnist says. "Other manufacturers have paid doctors to write 'case reports' on their drugs." He points out that the E l i Lilly Co. likes to hand out free medical satchels to new doctors just out of medical school. Everytime they opened their b l a c k bags, presumably, they will be reminded to prescribe E l i Lilly medicines. "The competition to show the doctors a good time is so intense that the pharmaceutical houses have entered into a gentlemen's agreement not to provide free transportation for doctors beyond a 150-mile radius of the manufacturers' facilities. "Charles Pfizer & Co., for instance," the column goes on, "has invited a number of Philadelphia doctors and their wives to Groton, Conn., for a two-day autumn holiday on Oct. 8 and 9." Anderson says the letter of invitation promises lyrically: "The

The team of researchers here indicated that: it is remarkable that the finding of anti-cancer activity in such a venerable antibiotic should have "had to await the independent and almost simultaneous "rediscovery" of the compound by themselves and the scientists. Extracts from a p a r t i c u l a r penicillin mould were found to halt the growth of cells grown in a test tube. By purifying the extract the I.C.I, scientists found that its active ingredient was mycophenolic acid.

I feel that Muhammad Speaks is making a tremendous contribution psychologically for Black people, in that it is presenting to Black people knowledge about t h e m s e l v e s which mitigates against sclfhatred and negative connotations attributed to being Black. In the area of developing unity among Black people throughout the world, Muhammad Speaks is making a definite contribution. It

Teachings of The Holy Quran By

ELIJAH

MUHAMMAD

Messenger of A l l a h "In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful." "1 When the hypocrites come to thee, they say: We bear witness that thou art indeed Allah's Messenger. And Allah knows thou art indeed His Messenger. And Allah bears witness that the hypocrites are surely liars." (Holy Quran 63:1) The sayings of the hypocrites that they are true believers in the Messenger of Allah by calling him the Messenger of Allah and claiming that they believe that most surely he is the Messenger of Allah, so that he (the Messenger) will take them for True Believers, but Allah Knows that they are most surely liars. They only want to use a false oath as a shelter for the Apostle to accept them as True Believers while they are not. A HYPOCRITE is not liked by anyone, regardless of what kind of hypocrite he may be. It does not have to be a religion. Any person who declares he is something that he is not is a hypocrite of that thing. In religion, a hypocrite is one who claims a belief in a religion and the teachings of that religion. He is not really a believer in that religion. In the third verse of the same chapter of the Holy Quran, it teaches that the hypocrites believed then disbelieved, and after disbelieving their hearts are sealed so that they understand not. This means that Allah (God) Withdraws His Guidance from the hypocrites after they disbelieve. This is the meaning of "their hearts are sealed." Allah (God) does not Guide them on the Right Path anymore, so the Holy Quran teaches. But, He (Allah) allows them to go onto the path of hell after they claim that they accept the path of Heaven and then turn away from it. In the fourth verse of the above chapter of the Holy Quran is a warning to us that when we see them (hypocrites and disbelievers), their persons please us. And, if they speak, we will listen to their speech, because we like their persons. They are like a piece of wood clad with garments. They are the enemy, so beware of them. There are many Muslims in America, following me, who fall victim to hypocrites and disbelievers because they look at the outer appearance of the disbelievers and hypocrites. They like them. Some of the weak Muslims go out and marry such people with the thought of trying to reconvert them or with the thought of converting them for the first time, which is a miserable mistake. They take the Muslims out of the Temple instead. The fifth verse of this chapter reads as follows: "5 And when it is said to them: Come, the Messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for you, they turn away their heads and thou seest them hindering (others), and they are big with pride." They do not accept the Messenger asking for forgiveness for them because they do not believe in the Messenger. Their greatest desire is to hinder others from believing in the Messenger. And, the sixth verse reads: "6 It is alike to them whether thou ask forgiveness for them or ask not forgiveness for them—Allah will never forgive them. Surely Allah guides not the transgressing people." The seventh verse of this chapter goes so far as to charge the hypocrites with trying to keep away those who did spend money or give their property to help the Cause of Allah and His Messenger in concerting the people. This is the way of one who comes in saying, "most surely thou art the Messenger of Allah," while he is only lying to get your confidence. The hypocrites deceive all of the weak Muslims with their personalities. The weak Muslims love the hypocrites' outer appearance while in the heart of the hypocrites, they are against Islam, Allah, and His Messenger. 1 warn you, do not try to play with Islam as you have played Christianity, for Allah most certainly is quick to take restribu-_ tion, says the Holy Quran.

Black Man Facing Death Wins Freedom When Jury Of 'Own' Peers Views Case EUTAW, Ala. — If Johnnie Coleman, 35, were to be asked what he thought of being tried for murder by a jury of his "own" (Black) peers, he would emphatically endorse it. FACING A DEATH sentence, handed down by an all-white jury for the shotgun slaying of a white man, Coleman is now a free man after being acquitted of the crime on retrial by an allBlack jury. He was originally arrested in

Aug. 30, 1961, charged with slaying J . D. (Screwdriver) Johnson, during a robbery of the latter's garage and service station. Although there were no witnesses to the crime, the state, led by District Atty. Thomas H. Boggs, successfully wove a chain of circumstantial e v i d e n c e linking Coleman to the killing. Coleman won a new trial, however, when an appeal to the U.S. Supreme court brought the decision that he had not been guaranteed his rights under the constitution. The court held that

Blacks had been systematically excluded from the jury though they make up 81 per cent of the population of Greene County. AT HIS SECOND trial, Coleman was represented by Attys. Orzell Billingsley Jr., and Peter A. Hall, both n o t e d Black civil rights lawyers, who used thelr preemptory challenges to strike white members off the venire. The three-day trial ended with Coleman being freed after almost eight years of imprisonment.

by Bayyiaah Sharrieff continuing . . . "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord; And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." " T H E END OF T H E PROPHETS" (Malachi 4:5-6) Last week I questioned and clarified the question of what fathers will be turned to love their children, and which children will have their love established for their fathers. WHAT PERSON, other than the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is making a people, who have been subjected to another people in servitude (fulfilling the prophecy to Abram of his seed —Genesis 15:13), aware of themselves and their faihers? The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that the Black men who submit, to the Will of God (Allah) are c h i l d r e n (young) in the wisdom of the Gods. Those who are much older in this wisdom and who are our kind (Black) live East of the continent of America. They live in Asia. Comparing the lengths of time (age) in which those in Asia have been exposed to the wisdom of Allah (God) with ourselves (we Blacks in America), and realizing that we are from them (were taken from them about 40(1 years ago), one is truly safe to understand that those who submit to the Will of God in the East (Asia) are indeed fathers in the above

sense to those of us who are submitting to the Will of God in the West. The teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to us who listen, have made us know our true value (ourselves). We have learned what it is to be respected for our true value. You, the reader, know that he is the first one who told us to be proud that we are Black. He taught us why; that the Black Man is the Original Man; that the Black man created the planet Earth. He teaches us that we are the Gods by nature, and that our nature is good. We have been other than good due to our being subjected to a no good man (the white man) for so long a time (400 years). He teaches us to be o u r s e 1 v e s, righteous people, and to shed the ways of filth and evil which we have gotten from the white man. When we do, it causes us to come into view of others on the planet Earth who also are 'EBONY CATERERS & PASTRY SHOP 3214 PENN. AVE., S.E. 583-5567 WASHINGTON, D.C. BFAUTIFUUY DECORATED WFDDING,

striving to be righteous people. Those Muslims in the East look toward us Muslims who follow the Honorable Elijah Muhammad in the West with great admiration and love. They admire the women here who lengthen their garments to cover their bodies, and cover their heads in public, and speak not loudly in a manner unbecoming a lady. They admire the strictness of his followers to the laws of Islam, Good: The shunning of the use of tobacco, narcotics and intoxicating beverage; The forbiddance of committing acts of adultery, and fornication. I AM NOT just writing these words without proof. I lived in the Republic of the Sudan, a predominantly Muslim country, practically two years and know that the above-mentioned practices of the shunning of evil and the doing of good are everyday happenings to them.

MUHAMMAD SPEAKS

T h e W o m a n (n Islam By Margary Hassain ALL Praises to Allah (God), Master Fard Muhammad. T H E WOMAN IN ISLAM gives Eternal Thanks to Allah (God) for His Divine Messenger Muhammad. THE above Praises and thanksgiving to Allah (God) voiced by T H E WOMAN IN ISLAM comes from the very root of her being. She feels as the Psalmist, "Lord if I had a thousand voices, I would Praise Thee with them all!" ALLAH (God) Master Fard Muhammad Has Enabled T H E WOMAN IN ISLAM to accept Messenger Muhammad and the Truth which he brings from Allah (God). The Truth and Messenger Muhammad, the interpreter of truth, is the greatest gift that we, the Black People have ever received, since we lost the knowledge of self. MESSENGER MUHAMMAD truly brings us salvation . . . physical, spiritual, mental and moral salvation . . . for he teaches us to know our enemies so that we are saved from them. IN Christianity, we were ever the prey of our enemy. The humble loved, trusted and helped everybody and turned the other cheek. We were forever trying 'to do good' and expecting good in return. We did not understand and we were utterly amazed when we were rendered evil by the very ones to whom we had done nothing but good. The Messenger teaches us to know our enemy, separate from him,and waste no more time and effort upon the enemy. The truth of the enemy puts power and force behind Messenger Muhammad's teachings, 'do something for self.

Messenger Muhammad stressed the importance of our children having a knowledge of self and others, for surely this is an educated person. He went on to explain that the devil's education cannot make us, as a Nation of People, capable of competing with the civilized nations of the world because we have not been taught the knowledge of ourselves nor of those other than ourselves. As Messenger Muhammad has taught us, an education that does not enable a Black student to do for himself and his own is a non-functional type of education. It is useless and a waste of time.

I am positive that it is not inconceivable for us to realize that we are a non-functional people here in America. The white man does not allow us to enter into any avenue of selfhelp that will make us a prosperous people. Therefore, should we conclude that we are receiving an improper and non-functional education? Yes! As a student at Tuskegee Institute, I was taught what is called levels of general education and levels of education pertaining to my specific field of study.

This is the imbalance that starts many Black students imitating the cultural patterns of other people rather than be t h e m s e l v e s . If a student is drilled in the knowledge of other people, he will assume the role of that which he has been exposed to. Although, I can quote Shakespeare, B r o w n i n g , and Thoreau as American and English writers, I am positive that according to the history I have studied since becoming acquainted with Allah's (God's) Divine Messenger, the Most Honorable Elijah M u h a m m a d , none of these devils ever raised a finger to uplift the Black Man. There-

THOSE who do evil to those who do good to them, are the wicked, the evil, the unfaithful, the disloyal ones. The scriptures teach us of them from Genesis to Revelations, but until Allah (God) Raised His Messenger to interpret the scriptures for us, we were blind and bruised, and sometimes killed by those whom we sought to help. Pr. 17:13, "Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house." MESSENGER MUHAMMAD teaches us that the heavens and earth were created in truth. Falsehood has no place in the creation and even if it is left alone, falsehood will destroy itself. Pr. 17:15, "He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord." MESSENGER MUHAMMAD teaches the WOMAN IN ISLAM that the wicked come to the righteous with soft words and smiles of friendship, and say that they are like you, but they are hypocrites. The Holy Quran verifies that they give "Lip Service." Messenger Muhammad teaches us "Watch their hands" for what their hands bring forth testifies the truh of them. THE DIVINE PRINCIPLES which Messenger Muhammad teaches us encompasses the completeness of T H E WOMAN IN ISLAM. It guides her in knowing ones who come to her as would-be friends, would-be husbands, and would-be leaders. THE WOMAN IN ISLAM has what she has long prayed for, Divine Guidance for herself and her family, and a Divine Foundation, Law for her future generations. ALL PRAISES TO ALLAH (God) for His Messenger Muhammad!

However, for those scientific scholars on campus who have a working knowledge of chemistry, they must know that certain elements do not mix. If you are wise my Beloved people, you will come and follow Messenger Muhammad who is being Divinely guided by Allah (God). Let us sit down at the table of truth and reason intelli-

gently on the proper education of Black students. Messenger Muhammad is the best one to chair this discussion and establish the rules of order (Islam). The misinformation Black students are receiving now is due to your unwillingness to do for yourselves and the fact that you allow the devil's department of Health, Education and Welfare to decide the type of education your child will receive. Reconsider the plight of our children and you will see that Muhammad is offering you the best solution. All praises are due to Allah.

Free-Divorce-for-Poor Program Same As Free-Birth-Control-tor-Poor Folks By Ogun Kakanfo (Pan African Press) P H I L A D E L P H I A — J u s t as many so-called liberals advocate free birth control programs for the poor, so that the poor will blame their oppression on their babies instead of their criminal government, they are now advocating free divorces for the poor. F R E E DIVORCE without trials and free birth control should be a right for every citizen. But divorce cases, like birth control devices, are a racket for the legal and medical professions (including drug companies) in their present forms. And neither group wants the high finance taken away from middle and upper class clients' social and medical problems. So lawyers like Ben Levin of the Philadelphia Community Legal Services now advocate free divorce for the poor alone and ignore the genoeidal home-breaking effect such a program would have. If the poor are kept poor, hungry, sick, unschooled and poorly housed while they are offered free divorce and free birth control devices, the misery, chaos and oppression under which they

live will only increase. They will blame not only their children but their husbands and wives, too, for their exploitation and oppression. Why don't these friends and protectors of the poor fight for adequate free food, roomy and clean free housing, free nurseries, free college education and meaningful free job training for the poor? This is what the poor need as a class—birth control and divorce are not problems limited to the poor as a class and should be free for all. But Atty. Levin showed his true nature when he explained that he wanted free divorces for the poor so they can fit into the e x i s t i n g corrupt legal-marital system. He said that since the poor can't afford divorces, they simply ignore the legal nonsense, move out of one home and establish homes and families somewhere else. This not only makes a mockery of the present unnecessary divorce trial and alimony system, it also means that the poor can have a lot of babies. Atty. Levin said that the poor who ignore legal forms are im-

moral but that those who can afford to pay lawyers for divorce trials are moral. U.S. lawyers are brainwashed in law school to confuse the idea of "legality" with that of "morality." •They may not be moral." Levin said of the poor (meaning Black people, who are the majority of the major-city poor), "but morality is beyond their financial means." To Levin, morality has a money value; you can buy it if you have a large enough income. Reform measures based upon this kind of thinking i n e v i t a b l y s t r e n g t h e n the very system which causes the misery. They make citizens overlook that the government and legal systems are immoral and racketeering, not the poor people. Such a reform will only break up the social relationships ("legal" or not) of the poor by reinforcing the notion that they are immoral because they are poor. It will also give money to lawyers through government subsidies to handle divorce cases of the poor. And it will make it easier for the government to keep tabs on the poor through census-takers.

I am completely at my wits ends. There are no home teachers for her schooling and I am tired of moving into Syracuse every winter in order to be near a hospital and schools. I have five other children and my husband is ready for retirement. Is there any help or advice for us? I can work if I were able to in upstate New get proper care or advice that would be sound and sensible for our family. All the doctors here say "wait and see what hapBrother pens."

Muhammad

Dear Mr. Editor— I am a student at a local college and enjoy reading your newspaper. I also try to have my Black Brother class-mates read MUHAMMAD SPEAKS so we can discuss it, instead of having panty-raids and pot-parties like the devil students here. We find M U H A M M A D S P E A K S not only interesting but informative news which every Black man should know. The recent article by Mr. Alt M. Baghdad! was a true testament of what the white man is doing to human beings in the world today. In Africa, America (North and South), or wherever the white man has touched, he has produced death and poison for dark people. Mr. Muhammad is right about the white man being the true devil; his deeds prove him. It is shocking to know that the same Jews who were chased from Europe by the Nazis are now using the same horrible tactics of oppression on their dark Middle Eastern neighbors. Proof positive that any Black man who thinks he can befriend the white devil is a fool, because he is being fooled; and any Black man who thinks ho can believe the lies of the white press is not only a fool but a tool . . of the devil. Keep up the beautiful work Black Brothers. A Proud Black Man

MY DAUGHTER will be in the wheel chair six months next month and we are still hoping and praying for some good news or sensible suggestion. I would gladly relocate my family and take up living somewhere else if there was a hospital that could possibly do more for her than what is being done. I can work in a hospital—private duty, or n u r s e r y school teacher. The Nursery School is my preference. I enjoy your paper but only get it when it comes to me from someone in New York City, my home. Please answer soon. Anxious Reader Mrs. John Randall Altmar, New York (Editor's Note: Other than referring you to your local health agencies, we can only appeal to our readers to inform you of some special service available.

Assuming that the stress front travelled south from Turkey at a speed of 10 miles per hour, he has theorized that the secondary quakes fell within the limits of time and distance. IN ANOTHER i n s t a n c e , he claims a similar stress front, t r a v e l i n g much faster, could have caused a secondary series of quakes that occurred in Sinai and Tanzania during April. Noting that earthquakes are relatively uncommon in the area, he believes any long range interactions between shocks would

show up more clearly in other regions. What he hopes to prove is thai after a primary quake occurs, there should be at least a 24 hour period in which the possibility of secondary shocks can be predicted with certainty.

T H E STUDY is being undertaken by Dr. P. A. Mohr, whose recent analysis of the Middle East quakes area this year has given birth to a "domino effect" theory that may have possibilities in the future. Quakes occur when stresses are built up between two adjacent blocks of the Earth's crust and are suddenly released. Under Dr. Mohr's theory, shock waves traveling out from a primary earthquake may trigger a cascade of s e c o n d a r y quakes elsewhere. Using the Middle East occurrences, he notes that the March 28 quake in Turkey was followed within a few days by shocks in

SOME 1.5 MILLION persons are covered by dental service corporations, Dr. Taylor said. He described the service corporation as a not-for-profit agency operated by the state dental society. Private insurance companies are providing the remaining coverage. This year, t h r e e multistate d e n t a l care prepayment pro-

When fully activated, it is expected that this contract will provide coverage to some 350,000 employees of McDonnell Douglas and their dependents. In addition, on January 1, 1970, some 30,000 employees of Unitdd Auto Workers are expected to begin a prepayment program.

Predictions are that the number covered by some type of dental care coverage will exceed 15 million by the end of 1970 and 50 million by 1975, when large unions and governmental agencies enter the prepayment picture.

TUNIS—All indications a r c that Tunisia is on the verge of following Libya into socialist reform and getting more actively behind the Arab world in the struggle against Zionist aggression in the Middle East. Tunisia, strategically located on the Northeast border of Algeria, and the Northwestern border of Libya, has traditionally depended upon Libya as a buffer from the militant United Arab Republic. TUNISIA IS LED by one political party, headed by President Habib Bourguiba, 67, who has been in ill health for the last few years. At the end of this year, his second five-year term of office as President comes up for renewal. In view of an earlier heart attack and his recent attack of hepatitis, people are wondering — even if he were to regain his fitness — whether or not he could manage another five-year term. But it is not m e r e l y his health. , In the wake of the L i byan coup his position has taken on added interest, particularly as the cabinet changes made recently appear to be connected with the more radical anti-west tone now evident in Libya. Tunis has not welcomed the Libyan coup, as did Cairo. The conservative pro-West regime of King Idris was a useful buffer between Tunis and Cairo and a good psychological support against the dominance of Algiers in the Maghreb. So long as Libya seemed prepared to accept the presence of American and British bases, Bourguiba's pro-Western alignment was less out on a limb. Now such a police is highly debatable. IT IS NOT HARD to see many comparisons between the positions of the reactionary King Idris and President Bourguiba. Both have maintained dictatorial positions within their individual states. Informed observers of Libya usually insisted that nothing was likely to happen so long as the King was alive. Now, of course, such opinion has been disproved and Bourguiba can draw little comfort from what is happening in Libya. Bourguiba has been quarreling with Nasser and the Arabs, cutting diplomatic relations with Syria, holding "soft" positions on Israel and p r a i s i n g the Americans. Now Tunisia is more lonely than ever in the Arab world. Moreover, there is a rising (Continued

Racial Furor a t Army

Camps

WASHINGTON—One of t h e areas in which news is most suppressed is the eruptive, but masked situation on U.S. Army bases, where Blacks are virtually at war with whites—in order to protect themselves. (If you have relatives at any of the following bases, you should check with them, in order to investigate their safety: Fort Belvior, Va.; Fort Carson, Colo.; Fort Dix, N . J . ; Fort Gordon, Ga.; Fort Hood, Tex.; Fort Jackson, S.C.; Fort Knox, K y . ; Fort Lee, Va.; Fort Sheridan, 111.; and Fort Sill, Okla.). RACIAL S T R I F E at some of these bases is due, among other reasons, to the racist white officers and noncoms, who are disgruntled over the equal treatment they are supposed to give Blacks. In the main, the white military veterans have been discribed, as military veterans who make racial cracks within the earshot of the Blacks and take out their racism on Black subordinates. On certain bases, the military police are bullying and brutal in their treatment of Black soldiers According to suppressed committee findings, chaired by the infamous House Armed Services committee' chairman, M e n d e l Rivers, racial violence resulting from white racism from the c o m m a n d level down, has turned the aforementioned camps into virtual holocaust, and war t i m e encampments, similar to the Viet Nam situation. In order to suppress news of what's going on, chairman Rivers has clamped such tight secrecy on the hearings that after the transcripts have been typed, the shorthand tapes and typewriter ribbons are confiscated and burned.

our own thing here and in Afri(Continued from page 9) whole country is racist, but certain objective conditions give you a better chance in one place than another. I think I have a better chance to get justice in M i c h i g a n than in any other state. If enough Black people rally to my support, I ' l l come out of it all right. Then you think that even at this stage, with fascism increasing, mass protests in the political and legal, area can he effective? No matter how fascist they are, they still have to pay attention to people; they feel mass pressure wherever it is directed. Did it make a difference to you which party was in power when you d e c i d e d to come home? No. Both political parties say they believe in "Americanism:" I don't know what it is or what they mean by it—but it certainly isn't good. "Americanism" is supposed to Include "freedom of the press" and "freedom of information," but I notice that it's almost impossible to get your book, Negroes With Guns, or your newspaper, "The Crusader," in this country. That's right. The book was taken out of circulation. I plan to revise -and republish it. The newsletter was banned from entering the United States. What reasons did they give for banning it? Government officials said that it was unlawful because it was directed only to the Black man in America and not to the other nationalities. And they said that it was inflammatory. And yet Zionists can appeal directly for tax-free contributions to Israel and inflame their followers Into buying jets and napalm to use on Palestinian citizens? That's right. That's why we Black people have got to make

ca. From your experiences, do you think that African Americans and Africans can build strong and effective unity between them? Most of the white news media and the Negroid news media have spread the CIA line that our people here and in Africa don't have enough in common to support each other actively. The masses of African people, the real Africans, are 100 per cent with us. We can rest assured of that. They welcome any contact with us and follow our situation here as closely as they can. But in Africa you have the same problems as everywhere—Judases. Some leaders are merely puppets of the USA, B r i t a i n , France, Portugal and South Africa. They work to prevent international unity between us. It's a mistake to think governments or leaders are good just because they're Black. I couldn't enter several African states which are presently considered very progressive. One last question: Right now, it seems that a number of Black people think they would remain in the United States even if we take a separate territory. These people often say they oppose "separatists" b e c a u s e if the "separatists" win, those remaining behind are likely to suffer for it. Do you agree? No. Those remaining behind are likely to suffer less than most of us suffer now. There will be less friction of this sort in the society. Look at Pakistan and India. India was divided in 1947, so that most of the Moslem minority could form Pakistan, a separate state. Afterwards, the tensions between Moslems and Hindus has greatly decreased inside India, even though many Moslems still live in India. The same thing could happen here.

THANK the public for its patronage of YOUR Supermarket (8345 South Cottage Grove) and SALAAM Restaurant (8300 South Cottage Grove.) We will soon have all the plans for these two places carried out to your enjoyment. The food in both places (YOUR Supermarket and SALAAM Restaurant) is about the best we can find. At the present time, we are trying to supply them with our own farm raised chickens. I am sure once you taste them, you will want to eat none other than YOUR Supermarket chickens. I had not eaten a half chicken at one time in many years, until last week when I dined off some of our farm-raised chickens and I still had a taste for the other half (smile). And, the prices are right. Just try one for yourself. We hope to give you, this year, fresh vegetables of all kinds, from the farm. We hope also to give you, sometime this year, your own farm raised meat, such as beef and lamb, and your own milk and butter. If you would only unite and get behind me, Allah Will sei you in heaven at once. Eat the good things of life from YOUR Supermarket and SALAAM Restaurani! Knjoy yourself in an atmosphere of peace and cleanliness, without the foul atmosphere found in many places. Soon, we will have the proper laborers who will give to you proper and lovely service, as you desire. We have to experiment with those who claim that they are qualified for such service. We pray that you will lorgive us for any past disservice in these two establishments. Write us and tell us Restaurant (which means do our utmost to correct brothers and sisters. Let

Finally, the Blacks took up arms in self-defense. The battle ended 15 minutes after it began and the Black c o m m u n i t y emerged as the unquestioned military victors. Police suffered 17 casualties, including three dead. The Black community suffered seven casualties with one dead. Arrested and charged with the murder of the three policemen was Ahmed Evans. The police, of course, have no idea who actually killed the three cops, but

Horror of U.S. War Plans Prompted W.German 'Ally' to Expose Top Secret STUTTGART, Occupied G e r m a n y — T h e U.S. Government's army of occupation in West Germany—an army which increasingly spreads anti-Black racism among German citizens—was disturbed recently when a top secret U.S. plan to use nuclear, chemical and biological weapons in Europe was sent to several Western newspapers and magazines. T H E U.S. military-industrialists and their top army brass pawns are not disturbed at increasing the chance that Europeans as well as Third World peoples win be destroyed by indiscriminate mass-murder weapons. What bothers them is that now people around the world have found out about their "security" plans which threaten millions of citizens. U.S. SPIES are f r a n t i c a l l y trying to find out who "leaked" the plans to Der Stern magazine in Germany and Ramparts in the USA, among undisclosed other press media. The document is a 33-page photocopy. It includes detailed outlines of air, land and sea operations, including the use of the above-mentioned genocidal weapons. It also describes "the conditions and priorities under which activation is planned." Apparently, the rrulitary-industrialist rulers of Pentagon and Congressional circles have a fear of so-

To the poor man who comes from Mexico, often with his family, lured by the Yankee promises of unlimited pickings, the hope of becoming rich as a farm worker is a cherished dream. And a dream it is. The actual condition of farm workers in the United States is horribly destitute and oppressive, whether they are native Americans or i m m i g r a n t s , Black, brown or white. T H E E X P L O I T A T I V E capitalistic system of the U.S. is so geared to crush the initiative and hopes of the workers on the migrant farm employment level, that all who fall to this trap-level are harmed by its agonizing enslavement. There are about 276,000 migratory farm laborers in the U.S., most of them originating in Florida, Texas and southern California. Generally, the major groups, ethnically, are Mexican-American (and some Filipinos and other 'dark' groups) families that circuit annually from Florida through Michigan, Indiana and Ohio back to Florida . . . Appalacian whites (sometimes called 'hill-billies') from Tennessee and Kentucky . . . and rootless men who subsist on day-today seasonal work. Mexican-Americans are kept down in the bottom of the economic well of the U.S., along with their cousins, the American Indians; and the Afro-American is kept there with them. The migrant farm laborer—all farm laborers—in the U.S. suffer from the tyrannical practices inflicted on them by the white slavers who run the farmlands of the United States. T H E BLACKS who live on tenant farm land in the South are hardly more than prisoners of their l a n d l o r d s , who furnish them shacks and debts, grits and wormy meat of the pig to live on. There are no decent residences for m i g r a t o r y farm workers, either. They live in run-down, drafty, filthy shacks which no white h o g -f a r mer would allow his infected hogs to live in. They even have to use the very orchards they work, to

U.S. Peace "Corps(e) Tries to Raise Itself WASHINGTON, D .C .—T h e director of the U.S. peace corps has recognized that his organization is but a tribute, as it stands, to the stupid political system which evolved it; the peace corps, thus, stands stupid. To rid the group of its international stigma of being a "peaceful" enforcer of U.S.-American bigotry and capitalistic exploitation, J o s e p h Blatchford, the director, has announced numerous changes in the corps. To try and 'resurrect' the fallen "corps(e)" Blatchford has had to swallow American bodaciousness and admit (in different words) that the organization is now a lifeless formality of American colonialism. To remedy this pitiful situation of world rejection and falling volunteer rate at home, as well as national criticism, the Nixon administration-appointee proclaims the following changes:

and a grin to developing nations. 3. A major effort to recruit experienced people in business and other professions. 4. Greater involvement of the peace corps with international organizations developing, reflecting larger world political interests.

5. MORE INVOLVEMENT by r e s i d e n t s of the country in which volunteers are working. Half of the overseas staffs soon will be composed of foreign nationals and there will be advisory panels of foreign nationals. 6. Changes in regulations and increases in allowances so that 200 families, including dependent children if necessary, may be serving overseas within the next two years; this is not allowed at present. 7.

"Kibbutzim"

Takeover of | Black Child's Mind (M.S. Washington Bureau) WASHINGTON, D.C. — Black people have all but become immune to the proliferation of welfare plans, and devious educational schemes projected by government, sociological and research f o u n d a t i o n s . New schemes are detected almost immediately as being ill-motivated or, in fact, genocidal. BUT T H E LATEST of this batch of so-called cure-all plans for the plight of Blacks curiously appears as cloaked, sinister, and diabolical, as it does vague or remotely possible. The tag for this plan is the " K I B B U T Z . " To an Israeli, where "Kibbutz" is a household word, few suspicions—in f a c t favorable connotations—are attached to it. But for the word to crop up now, in America, and be somehow associated with Black people in the ghetto demands more than passing attention by alert citizens. Recently, Dr. Bruno Bettelheim, who a u t h o r e d a book "The Children of the Dream" in Kibbutzism in Israel, urged Congress to adopt a Kibbutz educational system for Black children in America. While it is generally concluded that he made little impression, evidence to the contrary can be seen in the developing trends in pre-school programs, "cultural centers," and increased institutionalization of Black children. In short, Kibbutzism amounts to the collective rearing and absolute state control over the minds of disadvantaged children. In Israel, it is reported that more than 200 kibbutzim exist, whereby new emigrant children are brought up collectively and moved into national life. The kibbutz system supposedly makes the child psychologically a n d economically independent from his parents who only see him at s c h e d u l e d intervals,

New

offers the child love objects (persons—nurses and kibbutz attendants) besides his own parents, creates a collective mentality, and roots him "in his community and in the larger Israeli society." The "kibbutzim," h o w e v e r , do not benefit the Black Asiatic-African Jews in Israel. ACCORDING TO one report one-third of the officers in Tzahal (Israel's army) are kibbutzniks, and "nearly 60 per cent of the recent class of air force pilots—whose m i s s i o n s include bombing defenseless Arab villagers—were kibbutz-born. Called "planned socialization," kibbutzism is now being peddled in the U.S. subtly and in part through various programs which seek to drive a wedge between the family bond of Black people. Boldly, but perhaps too prematurely for national open acceptance, the p r o g r a m is being urged upon national foundations at large and government agencies. The present day 'welfare" programs designed to force husband-less mothers into menial jobs, and insistence upon public custody of several or all of many "problem mothers" children, seems all too much like a genocidal variation of the kibbutz model. While administration officials deny any interest in the Bettelhejm proposals, the "American Examiner," a prominent Jewish weekly reported as early as September 1965 that the U.S. office of education authorized "additional' research projects by the Israeli Institute which would assist America" with her work with the "culturally deprived." Supposedly, the U.S. government has been impressed with the Israeli "peace corp" approach in areas like Morocco, and the Israeli and "Szold" foundations in Jerusalem, which

DR. ALIZA BRAND WINE, an Israeli and formerly the director of a pre-school program in St. Marys County, Md., recently dec l a r e d that "Americans can learn a great deal from kibbutz education." While she did not advocate a total kibbutz type program—"considering A m e r i can norms" of individualism and competitiveness—she related her "successful" attempt to bring about more "community participation and quality education." Dr. Brandwine suggests that there is more parental involvement in her a p p r o a c h , and greater interest has been shown in education. Her pre-school program of course mainly involved rural children, and her stated c o n c e p t i o n of a kibbutz approach almost equates "community control" ideas broached by many Blacks. In Israel, "specially trained female kibbutz members, aged 21 to 35, provide care, socialization and e d u c a t i o n for the young. For a few hours on scheduled days and on most hol-

However, Edward O'Rourke, city Health commissioner here, indicated that the figures only show a small percentage of the numbers of people who have a social disease.

WHILE MOST Israelis speak highly of the kibbutz in Israel, citing such men as warmongering Gen. Moshe Dayan as a kibbutz product, it is widely believed that thousands of oriental Jews, who have not succumbed properly to the Zionist-oriented brainwashing, never leave the kibbutz. According to the American Examiner, the U.S. allotted huge sums of American tax-payers' money for research by Jewish scientists connected with the Israeli government ministry of education. Reportedly 7 to 8 million dollars annually have gone to such research projects linked to the urban crisis here in America over the last several years. In one curious statement. E x aminer columnist Milton Friedman stated, '•the research will be based mainly on the study of math, a subject which many Negro children often find difficult." The Szold foundation benignly offered the U.S. its assistance in working in communities to "develop intelligence potential of children from under-privileged social strata."

NEW YORK CITY—Latest statistics on social diseases suggest that v e n e r e a l diseases have reached epidemic proportions in the country's largest city. The last epidemic was in 1945, when 41,398 cases were reported. Last year, 50,378 cases were reported—an all-time high. More than 32,600 of these were cases of gonorrhea.

Kangaroo Court Railroads Four Black S T A N F O R D , Conn.— A 14year-old white girl who had written a pleading note to a Black youth to meet her at her grandmother's home on a certain day because "nobody would be home" and signed the letter "love y a , " wound up testifying against the Black youth in an alleged rape case. THE YOUTH, Cary Palmer, 16, his two brothers and a cousin, were tried for rape and sentenced to prison because the known-to-be-disreputable w h i t e girl testified that the four raped her. About a year ago, June 6, 1968, Donna was walking along a residential street in Stanford, Conn., at 10 in the morning. Four B l a c k teenagers—three brothers from Stanford and a cousin from New York—pulled up and offered her a ride. When she refused, says Donna, they forced her into the car, took her to an attic, raped her, and beat her with a metal pipe and a "washcloth."

CARY PALMER, 16, is now serving 15 months to five years in the state reformatory. Solomon and Arture (the cousin), ages 17 and 19, are serving nine to 14 years. Darryl Palmer, 19, is serving 11 to 16 years. There was no witness to the rape. There was no witness to the a l l e g e d abduction. There was no witness to the alleged beating. There was a witness who had seen Donna with the boys in the car, before and after the alleged attack; she was smiling and chatting pleasantly. The boys swore they did not rape Donna. They swore they o r d e r n o w i

There was no evidence that three of the boys had ever been in the attic; police apparently took no fingerprints. The boys' underwear—all with semen stains—was admitted into evidence without proper objection. If Donna was coerced, there was no evidence of a scratch, a scream, or a struggle. Prejudicial evidence and contradictory testimony fill the brief, 158-page transcript. Yet, no objections were made to preserve the issues for appeal.

He kept telling us he had a rabbit in his hat, but he didn't pull out nothing." He was the only Black attorney in the area. He was recommended by the boys' minister, and turned out to be a relative of the minister. He was in the pay of the Connecticut judiciary, earning $100 a week as bail commissioner.

Kangaroo Court of Connecticut Youth Like Lynch Trials Of the South (Continued from page 3 7Concerned )

Citizens for Justice —a Black and white amalgam of t e e n a g e r s , lawyers, poverty workers, ministers, and local l i b e r a l s — has been meeting weekly at the West Main Street Community center in Stanford to discuss strategies for publicizing the case. But as one man admitted at the last meeting, "It just isn't the talk of the town." Concerned Citizens has achieved its primary objective, however: hearing on a petition for a new trial, based generally on the incompetence of counsel. At the hearing, all the inadequacies of the original trial mav be

introduced, and if a new trial is denied, that decision can be appealed. BUT T H E K E Y to success is publicity and fund-raising. The Palmer case has yet to grab the crusading liberal community of the Stanford-Westport area. The American Civil Liberties Union, while involved, is not taking over the case. It seems only a matter of time, however, before a more vital movement begins to gel around the P a l m e r s . When this happens, some ugly truths are going to surface about Connecticut justice.

Unfortunately for the Palmers, none had the experience to determine the competence of their attorney before the brief trial was over. Nor did the judge help much.

OCTOBER 3 , 1969

T h e Messenger of A l l a h Presents

W$t jltluslim Program l l f j a t tije J f l M t m * S l a n t T h i s is the question asked most frequently by both the whites and the blacks. T h e 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 j u s t i c e . E q u a l justice under the l a w . We want justice applied equally to a l l , 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 A m e r i c a whose parents or grandparents were descendants from s l a v e s , 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 nrovide such land and that the a r e a must be —rx'rtile and m i n e r a l l y rich. We believe that our former s l a v e masters are obligated to maintain and supply our needs in this separate territory for the next 20 to 25 years—until we are able to produce and supply our own needs. Since we cannot get along with them in peace and equality, .after giving them 400 y e a r s of our sweat and blood and receiving in return some of the worst treatment human beings have ever experienced, we believe our contributions to this land and the suffering forced upon us by white A m e r i c a , justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or territory of our own. 5. We want freedom for a l l B e l i e v e r s of I s l a m now held in federal prisons. We want freedom for a l l black men and women now under death sentence in innumerable prisons in the North as well as the South. We want e v e r y black m a n and woman to have the freedom to accept or reject being separated from the s l a v e 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 answer to the problem between two people.

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

H J l j a t tfje i H u s - U m * ^ e l t e u e 1. W E B E L I E V E in the One God Whose proper Name is A l l a h . 2. W E B E L I E V E in the Holy Qur-an and in the Scriptures of a l l the Prophets of God. 3. W E B E L I E V E in the truth of the Bible, but we believe that it has been tampered with and must be reinterpreted so that mankind w i l l not be snared by the falsehoods that have been added to i t . 4. W E B E L I E V E in A l l a h ' s Prophets and the S c r i p t u r e s they brought to the people. 5. W E B E L I E V E in the resurrection of _r<nt in o h y s i c a l resurrection—but in , t ction. We believe that the socalle . .-.tgroe's are most in need of mental resurrection; therefore, they w i l l be resur rected first. •h£

^enrt,

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

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad M e s s e n g e r off A l l a h 8. W E B E L I E V E in justice for a l l , whether in God or not; we believe as others, that we are due equal justice as human beings We believe in equality—as a nation — of equals. We do not believe that we are equal with our s l a v e masters in the status of "freed slaves." We recognize and respect A m e r i c a n citizens as independent peoples and we respect their l a w s which govern this nation. 9. W E B E L I E V E that the offer of integration is hypocritical and is made by those who are trying to deceive the black peoples into believing that their '400-year-old open enemies of freedom, justice and equality are, all of a sudden, their " f r i e n d s . " F u r t h e r more, we believe that such deception is i n tended to prevent black people from realizing that the time in history has a r r i v e d for the separation from the whites of this nation. If the white people are truthful about their professed friendship toward the socalled Negro, they can prove it by dividing up A m e r i c a with their s l a v e s . We do not believe that A m e r i c a w i l l ever be able to furnish enough jobs for her own millions of unemployed, in addition to jobs for the 20,000.000 black people as w e l l . 10. W E B E L I E V E that we who declared ourselves to be righteous Muslims, should not participate in w a r s which take the lives of hu mans. We do not believe this nation should force us to take part in such w a r s , for we have nothing to gain from it unless A m e r i c a agrees to give us the necessary territory wherein we m a y have something to fight for. •

11. W E B E L I E V E our women should be respected and protected as the women of other nationalities are respected and protected. 12. W E B E L I E V E that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. F a r d M u h a m m a d , J u l y , 1930; the long-awaited " M e s s i a h " of the Christians and the " M a h d i " of the M u s l i m s . We believe further and lastly that Allah is God and besides H I M there is no God and He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we a l l can live in peace together.
