Another G l Gets Jail Term for Refusing to Fight Vietnamese AN K H E , South Viet Nam '—Pvt. William H. Maxwell of Los Angeles has joined the increasing number of youths, white and black, who are refusing to engage in America's genocidal aggression against the people of Viet Nam.

With the mixing of the slavemaster's blood with the slave's blood, it makes him a foster father to the Amerian lost-found black people. THIS IS why the Bible and the Holy Qur-an teach that we are a people who are blind, deaf, and dumb (spiritually). We have been completely robbed of the knowledge of self and kind, and we have been spoiled. Now the cry is going on throughout the land of North America — from the slave to his master — for that which the master is not willing to give: truth and justice. ISAIAH prophesied in the Bible that truth and justice are trod under foot, and there was no one even to seek j u s t i c e . James, the epistle of Paul, makes a beautiful prophecy of this trouble, conflict and revolution between the slave and his master today. The slave cries out for justice and he is put away in the prisons; he is killed like an ignorant sheep. No mercy is shown to him.

NEW YORK CITY — The death rate for lung cancer is soaring as rates for most other varieties of the disease level off or decline, the American Cancer Society recently reported. T H E SOCIETY, beginning its annual convention, again linked lung cancer to cigarette smoking. It said Federal law should require a sterner warning on cigarette packs and in all advertisements. The death rate for lung

cancer was up 55 per cent for men and 46 per cent for women in the last decade. The society attributed the increases to heavier smoking. The statistics mean that 38 of every 100,000 males will

die each year because of lung cancer. No other kind of cancer takes such a toll. The society said death rates for uterine cancer and cancer of the colon and rectum were declining because

the diseases were being detected in the early, m o r e curable stages. IN 1968, the society said, 600,000 new cancer cases will be discovered and 100,000 persons who could have been saved by earlier and better treatment will die. One of every four living Americans —50,000,000 persons — will be afflicted by the disease during 1968.

How Poverty War Becoming (Pan African Press) WASHINGTON—The War on Poverty is degenerating into a war on black births, with the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) now spending $4,500,000 a year for 121 "birth control" programs that reach at least 300,000 women, the vast majority of whom are Negroes. DR. ALAN F . Guttmacher, president of P l a n n e d Parenthood - World Population, tacitly admitted that America is directing "birth control" efforts almost entirely toward black women. He called on the government to open population - planning agencies, both public and private, in poor-white areas, "not just in Negro ghettos." Negro leaders across the nation — including those attending the recent B l a c k Power Conference that denounced "family planning" as a "white racist plot"—assert that there is very little chance that the genocidal pattern of blocking b l a c k births will undergo any significant change. Dr. Guttmacher points out in his recent study of family planning that seven of 10 women needing family planning—according to poverty guidelines — are w h i t e . Therefore, he said, efforts at population control in Negro areas alone are "likely to feed Negro suspicions that family - planning advocates seek to reduce their number "

"many conservative c o n verts who don't like the high price of public welfare and see this as a way of holding down the numbers of dependent children." Some 80 per cent of welfare recipients across America are Negro. Therefore, the anti-welfare factor is frequently associated w i t h population growth of urban Negroes.

Afro-Asian Urges UN to Admit China

UNITED N A T I O N S — A U.N. resolution has been signed by Albania, Algeria, Cambodia, the Congo (Brazzaville), Cuba, Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, Pakistan, Romania and Syria calling for the admission of China to the United Nations and the ouster of Nationalist China from the world body. WITH T H E exception of Albania, Romania and Syria all of the nations calling for the move are African or Asian nations. The majority of the African and A s i a n countries are expected to support the move. The resolution asked t h e assembly to recognize t h e Peking government of revolutionary Chairman Mao Tsetung as "the only lawful representatives of China to the United Nations."

By Huot Sambath â&#x20AC;&#x201D;^Cambodian Ambassador to UN The result of those efforts has been the growing hostility of the imperialists. We are guilty of refusing American colonialism in all its forms. We are guilty of denouncing the savage aggressions of the United States Army in Viet Nam and elsewhere. We are guilty of proclaiming our solidarity with all the countries and all the people of Asia, Africa and Latin America who are struggling heroically to escape the oppression of the United States and the governments which they Impose. Our crime Is to rise up against American hegemony and to wish that, like Cambodia, all countries can live free lives. THIS CRIME is that of being faithful to the spirit and the letter of the United Nations Charter. I now come to the most tragic question, which is a shame for the whole of the civilized world. I am speaking of the American aggression in Viet Nam or, more specifically, of the conscious destruction of an Asian country and people by a power which dares to invoke civilization and freedom. We have heard from this rostrum the representative of the United States trying to justify the crimes committed by his country. He has convinced no one, not even those who have given him their support. We will not even do him the injustice of

THE diplomats of the State Department proclaim without batting an e y e l i d that their soldiers are "repelling aggression" or, better yet, that they are "defending the freedom of the Vietnamese people." I shall leave you to judge whether this is cynicism or naivete. The United States is the aggressor. That is a truth which history will record despite the distortions of United States propaganda. The United States government undeniably violated the Geneva Agreements on the very morrow of their signature in 1955 by unloading large quantities of arms and thousands of military "advisers" in Viet Nam. Then, to oppose the popular uprising a g a i n s t the bloody and tyrannical regime of Ngo Dinh Diem, which came to be more and more controlled by Washington, the Americans embarked on the "special" war in which they supplied the officers for the forces of repression, in w h i c h they parked the populations in camps which they c a l l e d "strategic hamlets," and so on.

Re-Colonization of Africa in Works?

Rhodesia Looks More and More Like South Africa By Charles P. Howard (UN Correspondent) UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. —Prime Minister Ian Smith and his white-settler, whiteminority regime took new steps in molding Rhodesia into a South African lookalike by putting into practice its proposed racial segregation (apartheid) practices. FOR ONE thing, park benches in Rhodesia soon will be given municipal labels reading: " E u r o peans Only" and "Non-Eur o p e a n s Only." This is the a 11 e ga tion of Mr. P. Govan, a Rhodesian member Howard of P a r 1 i ament, and Mr. H e r b e r t Thompson, deputy leader of the Rhodesian Action Assocl-

ation, which opposes the bill requiring Asians and Coloreds to vacate European business and r e s i d e n t i a l areas. The M u n i c i p a l Amendment Act is now law, according to the October 27 issue of the Times (London). The act gives municipalities powers to segregate facilities such as parks, swimming pools and transport. Under it, nonEuropeans expect Rhodesia to revert to the practice of separate counters in post offices.

fices, farms and residences in or near European areas. Both communities fear that they will be given distant suburbs in which to live and will have their business premises taken over at far less than valuation. Messrs. G o v a n and Thompson were told, they said, that' petty apartheid practices are spreading in Rhodesia. For example, they said Asians and Colored people are increasingly not allowed to try on clothes or shoes in shops, but have to buy on measurements only.

Thus it becomes clearer that the colonialists are moving steadily toward recolonizing Africa. Of course, it will not be old style colonialism—but just as effective. The technique is obvious: • Remove from office all the militant, independenceminded African heads of state, or make all possible trouble for them, using Africans to do this.

Dr. Joseph Jackson (EDITOR'S NOTE: Dr. Joseph H. Jackson is the President of the National Baptist Convention, a body with an estimated 6 million Negroes. At a recent convention in Denver, Colorado, he introduced a unanimously approved resolution calling on his members to support World Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Alt's fight to overcome the injustices he has suffered since announcing his Muslim faith and refusing to act against Islamic principles and his station as a minister of that faith. In the following interview, the Baptist leader states his reasons for speaking out on behalf of the black champion.) (Pan-African Press) When Dr. Joseph H. Jackson introduced a resolution, at the National Baptist Convention in Denver, calling for his membership's support (a membership representing 6 million N e g r o Baptists in the U n i t e d States) of World Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Ali's fight against the injustices of American prejudice, he was acting on behalf of a man whom he believed to be a great example for all American youth, black and white, and one of the greatest athletes in the entire history of man. " I TOOK the position, and I do believe and was surprised to find that so many others shared my point of view, that Muhammad Ali is a kind and fine type of American. I do not believe that he is vicious and opposed to or an enemy of the United States of America," the Baptist leader states in explanation of his stand. " I took my stand because I believe that; and because I believeTEatTflS 'is aff exam-

ple of the kind of clean living which, if every American followed, w o u l d give us stronger bodies and make us better specimens of humankind." Dr. Jackson is the President of the National Baptist Convention. His pulpit is in Chicago at the Olivet Baptist Church, a strong and solid looking structure which is one of the oldest Baptist churches in the city. Looking at him, dressed in a formal appearing black coat and black and gray striped trousers, one sometimes feels that he is a kindly village doctor and not one of the most powerful leaders in the history of the black Christian church. AT T H E convention as he spoke out on behalf of the Muslim Minister and World Heavyweight Champion, he recounts, "when the matter was presented to that vast convention (20,000 to 30,000 visitors) in Denver, there was not to my knowledge a single negative vote. And I haven't heard a single person since make any kind of j derogatory statement." Dr. Jackson feels that this was an indication that the World Boxing Association and various state boxing associations across the land erred when they refused to recognize Muhammad Ali as the only true and rightful champion and refused to allow him the right to fight. Muhammad Ali remains the champion of the people, he states, and that cannot just be arbitrarily taken away. "There are 6,300,000 of us TRAINING HARD to maintain his physique (Negro Baptists). They come and poise despite being unjustly prevented (Continued on page 24) from practicing his profession, Muhammad

Ali, world heavyweight champion, has the consolation of knowing that most fair-minded fans recognize him as the true champion.

Woman Who Set Herself Aflame to Protest Viet Nam W a r Hailed Muhammad for Sacrifice LA P U E N T E , Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The woman who set her body aflame on the steps of the Federal building here to protest American aggression in Viet Nam was a great admirer of Muhammad Ali and had talked often about his "courage and self-sacrifice of material things for the sake of peace," states her husband, George L .

A statement released by George Beaumont after his wife's death points out that she did not commit suicide. " T H E R E WAS no indications of escapism or frustration," the statement reads.

Black Pastor Faces Ouster; Urges Muslims Across Nation to Publish Told to Quit Rights Work Local Business and Service Directories CAMBRIDGE, Md. — Reactionary church officials have initiated proceedings to have the Rev. Ernest Dupree ousted as pastor of the Doswel Temple Church of God in Christ because the minister allowed the Black Action Federation to use church facilities for a meeting. THE REV. James L . Eure, of Salisbury, presiding bishop over the Churches of God in Christ on Maryland's Eastern Shore, padlocked the Cambridge church recently, saying that the Rev. Dupree has two days to decide whether he would discontinue his civil rights activities or surrender his pastorate.

The Rev. Dupree said he would "never desert my people" in their stand for better housing and jobs. He is president of the local Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). "Ministers, regardless of denomination or c r e e d , should be more outspoken on the conditions of black people," the Rev. Dupree said. HE ALSO has pointed out that conditions are such that the combined efforts of all black people are needed now to begin changing oppressive situations in housing, jobs, medical care and edu cation.

N.Y. Opens Drive o n Bias in W h i t e - C o l l a r Jobs NEW YORK — A newly aggressive Equal Employment Opportunity Commission here has opened a drive on discrimination in whitecollar jobs. ACTING ON an analysis of reports required from employers for the first time last year, the Commission has scheduled the f i r s t hearings on white-collar discrimination in New Y o r k City January 15-17. It said it found "widespread under-utilization" of Negroes and Puerto Ricans in white-collar jobs. Reports from 4,249 business establishments in New York showed 1,827 did not have a single Negro whitecollar worker and 1,936 did not have a single Spanish-surnamed American employed in white-collar work. Further analysis indicated that: NEGROES represented an

estimated 18.2 per cent of New York City's population in 1966. But they held only 6.3 per cent of white-collar jobs among the reporting companies. In the managerial and professional ranks, Negro representation was 1.8 and 2.7 per cent, respectively.

Link High Suicide Rate to Alcoholism

tributes to the suicide rate. "Alcohol facilitates suicide by overcoming inhibitions, reducing judgment and producing depression," the psychologist asserted. "It is also a means of suicide in itself." STATISTICS show that older persons are more likely to take their own lives. San Franciscans have a median age of 37.3. The national median is 29.5. Dr. Seiden also found that single persons kill themselves more often than those who are married. In San Francisco, 43.9 per cent of those over 14 are single, divorced or widowed. Nationally, the percentage is 32.5. "San Francisco is an ex-

tremely small area with proportionately more of those rooming house and apartment areas in which high suicide rates occur," the psychologist went on. THE CITY'S bridges, which get most of the publicity for suicides, account for only five per cent of San Francisco's suicides, a n d only a minor fraction of those who take their lives by jumping. Regarding drinking a n d suicide, Dr. Seiden observed: "San Francisco c l a i m s national honors for alcoholism.

Unite Human Cells With Mice WASHINGTON — The first durable hybrids between the cells of man and a n o t h e r species have been successfully produced by scientists, it was reported. T H E HYBRIDS are colonies of living cells which take part of their Inheritance from mice and part from cells of human origin. Aggregations of these man-mouse c e l l s have been kept alive as long as six months in the laboratory. They»are believed to be the first in which durable hybrids have been produced between human cells a n d those of another species. Scientist see the hybrids as an aid to research in a realm of h u m a n genetics study that has been h a r d l y

touched: The m a p p i n g of gene locations on human chromosomes. Genes determine hereditary characteristics. Each living cell has many thousands of genes situated on thread-like structures called chromosomes. Human c e l l s have 46 chromosomes. For most of these there has been no mapping at all. MUCH interest has been expressed in recent years in the future possibility of direct attack on genetic defects in man by correcting abnormalities of the genes themselves. The research on hybrid cells is also expected to expand man's knowledge of the specific manner in which viruses infect living cells.

Nigerian Leader Says Portugal Aiding

Biafra with Munitions and Mercenaries (Pan African Press) LAGOS, Nigeria — Portugal, initiator of the b l a c k slave trade and historically the most murderous colonialist on the African continent, was named as the major arms supplier and supporter of the secessionist regime, Biafra, in Nigeria's Eastern Region. NIGERIAN officials s a y Portugal's support for Biafra stems from a desire to weaken Nigeria and Nigeria's support for anti-colonial movements in the Portuguese territories of Angola and Mozambique. Nigeria and the United Arab Republic are the largest finnacial contributors to the Organization of African Unity, which has in turn been supplying funds and political backing to nationalist organizations outside and within the two colonies. Maj. Gen. Yakubu Gowon, head of Nigeria's Federal military government, s a i d that "Portugal certainly seems to be the main country giving moral as well as physicaLsupport to Biafra. NOTING THAT some other Western nations "are not as definite" in their stand as Portugal, the last major qolonial power in Africa, the general said Portugal "is going all out to help" the four - month - old secessionist state. «.

He wants to plant seeds of nationalism and self-pride in the black man which can blossom into dignity, love and unity. Much of his thinking appears to parallel that of the Muslim program and the thought of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad who has long been commended for his insights into the problems of the Negro. Karenga is highly critical of the negative effect blind

acceptance of Christianity has had on the Negro. "They taught us Christianity so we could be like Jesus—crucified," he intones to the appreciative audience. "The (white) Christian is our worst enemy. Quiet as its kept, it was a Christian who enslaved us. "It's a Christian that burns us. Quiet as its kept, its a Christian that beats us down the street. And when the thing goes down, it'll be a Christian that's shooting us down. You have to face the fact, If the Christian is doing all this, there must be something wrong with Christianity."

Struggle to Break Gangsters' Grip

Black Drive for Share of Scavenger Market Meets White By S K I P B O S S E T T E (Pan African Press) Across the country, white businesses operate in the black ghettos — taking $27 billion per year out,—while contributing little to the community and refusing to handle b l a c k manufactured products or use Negro service industries. O P E R A T I O N Breadbasket, an off-shoot of Dr. Martin Luther King's SCLC, Chicago arm, has sought to attack this problem by using black consumer power to force lucrative white businesses operating in the ghettos to spread some of the take in the direction of the Negro businessman. However, these efforts in some cases have led to a very violent reaction from whites losing contracts at the hands of the B r e a d basket drive toward black economic growth. This has been particularly true in the area of Jackson s c a v e nger service, a business estimated to take $30 million per year from the South S i d e Chicago Negro area alone. "The most provocative act so far," said young and fiery Breadbasket director Jesse Jackson, "was the burning of two Negro owned scavenger trucks. However, Negro scavengers have also b e e n trailed by 'unmarked cars,' and approached by men who (threateningly) said 'aren't you afraid to be here.' "CANS H A V E been turned

How White Crime Syndicates N E W Y O R K C I T Y — Despite the billions of dollars drained every year from black ghettos by numbers racketeers, narcotic pushers, loan sharks and other crime syndicate activities, it is impossible for a black man to move into the upper bracket of organized rackets. " T H I S I S Ironic, considering that the Negro — especially the poor Negro — is the most conspicuous victim of the lords of crime," states Nicholas Gage in a recent article in The Wall Street Journal. " L a w enforcement officials and other experts say that a big share of the organized underworld's estimated annual take of $2 billion from the numbers racket and $350 million from narcotics is drawn from the nation's ghettos. But these authorities don't see any black necks in the white collars of the men running these operations."

IN ADDITION, the researchers say, man may soon be able to change his characteristics and cure disease by introducing new genes into his body. Such experiments w i t h genes, chemical units in the cell that determine hereditary traits, have already been conducted successfully with frogs. Also, genes taken from one strain of bacteria have been inserted in another, changing the latter permanently. The question of man's interfering with the laws of nature has long evoked heated r e s p o n s e . However, Dr. Joshua Lederberg of Stanford University maintains that the new experiments are no different than currently accepted medical practices.

THE researchers offer their results in the latest edition of Science Journal, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. They relate two series of experiments with students, the second series designed to confirm results obtained in the first. I n both cases the unpleasantness was the administration of electric shock. The subjects of the first test were 16 undergraduates at Princeton University who were not told the objective of the study.

T H E N , T H E Y were given another 10 English words on a second list, but not informed that each of these 10 words was subtly associated with one of the words in the first list. For example, the second list included "smell," which because of its association with flowers, was related to "stem." Similarly, the word "brain," also on the second l i s t , was associated with "memory."

from rural districts, preachers representing the r u r a l areas of America . . . they come from metropolitan centers . . . they come from the ranks of the poor . . . they come from the ranks of the disadvantaged . . . they come from the ranks of some of the best situated people In the United States," he says in explanation of why he believes the Baptist Convention can be viewed as a - barometer of. the N e g r o mood on the question of Muhammad A l i . " H E I S S T I L L the World champion," the Baptist leader says with emphasis. " A man's ability is his ability. I don't believe there is any man living today who can whip Muhammad A l i in a prize-fighting ring. I don't believe it. I f there is one, nobody has discovered him yet. And from what I have observed in fighting since, as a preacher who looks at fights, his equal is not now living. " I ' m a prize-fighting fan, when the right prize-fighter is in the ring, when a man can do the thing artistically. I like art,', I like efficiency and I like'ability . . . I f a fighter were clumsy and didn't know what to do apparently, and was champion, I don't know that I w o u 1 d look at him. You see, to me it's a refreshing thing to look at a man like Muhammad Ali, moving about in the ring as a master. I like to look at masters, and he is a master of the ring." Although Dr. Jackson refuses to criticize the government's actions against the Muslim champion directly, he states strongly that " I can't sit in judgement of anybody. I acted from the light of the impression I had of a man whom I felt had much promise and much to offer in his field. When it comes to judging him, be that far from me. I wouldn't want to feel that I have the ability or right to sit in judgement. " I F E L T that this talent should not go to waste . . . there ought to be some way by which he can be vindicated. We addressed our communication to Bart Evans (President of the World Boxing Association), emphasizing that we in no way sought to make a difference between Muhammad A l i and any other Americans. But his case was of such a nature that we felt he now had opportunity. And, to snatch that

opportunity away, or for him to lose it, might create a situation that we couldn't recover 10 or 12 years f r o m now. " I wouldn't sit in judgement of his ministry and his religious faith. They are too sacred for anybody. . . . At least, I wouldn't risk sitting in judgement on it. I believe every human being has a right to make his approach to religion and to God as he understands it. . . . That is not my religious faith, but who am I to say. I believe as I believe, and I know he has a right to believe as he believes. I think he is entitled to that." Dr. Jackson continues, emphasizing that "we did not go into the religious part of it. I t was simply that Muhammad Ali is the unquestioned World Champion as a boxer. " M Y POSITION was in the field of appreciation of Muhammad Ali as an individual and a great champion, because I have seen him fight. But I make no attempt to sit in judgement of him or his religion or his views of life, as such. Neither were we sitting in judgement of the government. Our position was if there could be released a type of thinking that would restore him to the championship . . . not to the championship, just give him a chance to go in the ring. That's all I want; I think he would take care of the rest." Neither would he directly criticize the World Boxing Association for attempting to take the fighter's title from him and destroy his image as the champion. " I don't think I ' m in a position to evaluate how the boxing authority came to their conclusions. The only thing I know, from the fights I have seen and my observations of those that are coming back now to get in the eliminations whom Muhammad A l l has already eliminated, my feeling is that he is still the best living prize-fighter in the world. " I don't see how an elimination, that is not in the ring . . . I don't see how that could make a man a champion with a man outside the ring whom he knows can whip him if the man gets him in the ring."
