3 y Elijah M u h a m m a d (The Messenger of Allah) THE BLACK preachers, according to the press, are spying some silly things for leaders of their people, in the critical time of the nations of the world in which we are now living.

This is the time of a universal change — a time of universal war and destruction of nations—the time of a great separation of nations— the time of the Resurrection of their people (the Lost and Found Members of the Aboriginal Black Nation of the

They look and feel proud of such mockery and rejection of Allah's (God's) salvation, light, life and approved universal recognition among the nations of earth—for the first time since our fathers were forced into chains by that devil, John Hawkins, and brought here against their will, 400 years ago.

Here the black preachers, whom the enemies (the white man has made and license) to preach their self made false religion (Christianity) are teaching our slave foreparents' children against a return to their people and THEY WANTED to go back native country and against home, as God, in the Person being separated on some of of Master Fard Muhammad, this land here (The United

States of America), where they can live in peace together, without being subjected to deadly beatings and murders, like wild animals and beasts, at the heartless hands of the children of the slavemasters of our fathers.

^ R h c k Girls to b e Whites Seek Methods to Reduce Black Population

By LEROY 23X (Shabazz Information Service) NEW YORK — Nazi-white medical "researchers" in South A f r i c a are forcing teenage Bantu girls to serve as human guinea pigs for testing unproven oral contraceptives inevitably resulting in many horribly malformed infants and sometimes the death of both mother and child, said South African papatriot Frantz J. T. Lee, who is continuing his tour of America to inform Negroes of the inhumanities perpetrated against blacks in Southern Africa.

"THE PURPOSE is to accelerate South Africa's genocidal plan to diminish the black birth rate and a South African newspaper states that the U.S. Public Health Service is granting funds to the murderous regime to f u r t h e r this treacherous plot," Lee added during an address before a packed audience at Rep. Adam Clayton Powell's Abyssinia Baptist Church.

Lee said these e x p e r i ments are being performed in a concentration-c a m p "school" 30 miles from a m a i n road. He further quoted the South African newspaper as stating: " . . . reduction i n family size (of the blacks) may now occur far more rapidly than previously expected."

The main target of the soft-spoken black South African was western imperialism.

"Victims of Americanism," he told his nearly allNegro audience, " I come to tell you of your young black brothers in South Africa and of their struggle to dispose of the white vultures who are picking the flesh off their living bodies.

Examine Asian S y n t h e t i c Industry TOKYO, Japan — A seminar on the examination and development of man-made fibre industry opened here recently.

THE CONFERENCE will seek practical solutions to common problems, assist in planning new plants and expansions of existing ones, explore possibilities of developing industries on a regional and sub-regional basis and examine the latest manufacturing techniques. .

"OURS IS a struggle of self-defense," he continued.

"Black people by nature are very peaceful. But In South Africa we have paid a high price for this peacefulness.

We have tried to negotiate, and we have presented our case before the old League of Nations and the United Nations. Needless to say, we have also exhausted Ghandian methods and the answer we have received has been the answer of the gun."

EMPHASIZING the bitter frustration resulting from the

"Added to this is an education policy in which whites are trained to rule blacks and blacks are taught—by the State—to serve iphites."

"I come to tell you of your young black brothers in South Africa and of their struggle to dispose of the white vultures who are picking the flesh off their bodies." sincere and peaceful approach of black people to change their plight, Lee said South Africa was now "the biggest prison camp in the world.

"The black man no longer has any rights to own land, no political rights and is forced to work and live under conditions which limit his life span to 37 years while whites live an average of 67 years. Out of every three black babies born, one dies of starvation before one year of age. Out of every 100 black babies who live past one year, 57 die before they are five years old."

LEE pointed out that the system of exploitation developed by the white minority to strip the coimtry's mineral wealth can be likened to a colony of leeches endlessly sucking the life fluid from a crippled victim. Torture, mass starvation, d e a d l y work conditions,' house arrest, solitary confinement and banishment are but a few of the daily torments in the lives of South African blacks.

"Added to this is an education policy in which whites are trained to rule black and blacks are taught—by the State—to serve whites," the militant freedom fighter said. "Moreover, South Africa's whites are armed to the teeth, with the help of America and West Germany, for t h e professed purpose of 'fighting the spread of commimism.' " BUT the presence of heavy investments by such companies as General Motors, Anglo - American Corporation, Kennecott Copper, American Metal Climaz, Ford and Chase Manhattan point to a more urgent need for heavy armament—that of keeping 15 million black people " i n their place" and maintaining an endless supply of "dirt cheap labor.

"But what are the South African black people doing about the situation?" Lee asked rhetorically. "These conditions have led to a revolutionary feeling that will topple the whites for good.

We call our new way of thinking, 'African Nationalism.' " He said this is an ideology which demands—other than (Continued

(Pan African Press) TUSKEGEE, Ala. — The election of Lucius D. Amerson as sheriff of M a c o n County, Ala.—possibly the only Negro sheriff in the United States—is a signal light outshining all the glamor candidates who glittered in front of national television cameras. He represents the first signs of the new awakening of an area more than 50 per cent black to the meaning of true black power.

COMMUNITIES WERE called on to develop special health services for victims of sexual assault.

"Women and female children are being raped and sexually assaulted in large numbers and with increasing frequency, especially in our large cities," a team from Washington's city public health department told fellow health workers.

"AS FAR AS we can determine, no community has a program to provide the needed service," they said in a report to the annual meeting of the American Public Health association.

THERE ARE 122 counties in nine Southern states — Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee—with 50 per cent or more black American citizens. This is a mighty arsenal in the black man's struggle.

Macon County — with the largest black population of any of the 122 counties—in electing Amerson sheriff points the way for other areas of the nation predominantly black. Most civil rights workers know the real power in local areas of the South, especially rural sections, is the sheriff.

Rights organizations, even those frightened by the slogan, "black power," know that the struggle must turn to politics throughout the nation as one of several key situations where black togetherness can give the Negro a big voice in his determination.

One American journalist wrote recently that t h e mounting number of U . S. troops required in Viet Nam is brought about by the skyrocketing number of desertions by regular Vietnamese troops of puppet Premier Ky and other evidence of their reluctance to fight side-byI Continued

NOT ONLY MANY NEGROES, but growing numbers of whites, are opposed to the U.S. government's systematic annihilation of the practically defenseless Vietnamese people.

U.S. Forces Negroes to Army

By Denying Jobs at Home NEW YORK—Btokely Carmichael's assertion that black troops fighting in Viet Nam are "mercenaries," is declared "an apt observation" by Sol Sterm, writing in the latest edition of Ramparts magazine.

The writer points out that America keeps black men unemployed at a rate twice as high as among whites, thereby "seducing the Negro into the ranks of the white army by the same society which refuses him any other option for finding dignified work.

FOREIGN Correspondent Raymond R. Coffey, of the Chicago Daily News, wrote that American forces consider the South Vietnamese regulars "imdependable" in battle and are relegating them mainly to "police" activities. " . . . the American troops plainly are growing disgusted with the antics of t h e i r Vietnamese 'allies,' particularly of Vietnamese troops who, the GIs feel, have been lying down on the job," Coffey states.

He said disenchantment was particularly evident here among troops of the U.S. 1st Infantry Division's 3d Brigade, whom Vietnmaese forces twice refused to help during a battle which cost three American platoons severe casualties.

"A VIETNAMESE C i v i l Irregular Defense (CIDG) platoon was accompanying one U.S. company on a sweep t h r o u g h a rubber plantation," the foreign correspondent continues, "when they came under heavy fire from a Viet Cong unit dug in a hill.

"As the A m e r i c a n s returned the fire and prepared to assault the hill, the CIDG platoon suddenly decided it was time to go home."

Coffey quoted 1st Sgt. Ralph Lindquist of Kennebunk. Me., "who said with scornful politeness: ' T h e y came up and presented us with the fact that they were leaving.' And leave they did."

Later during the same battle, a CIDG company was asked to "close a gap" between U.S. units to prevent the Viet Cong from slipping away. The CIDG declined.

The U.N. commission states that "without a doubt.

Chinese

In Islam

By TYNETTA DEANAR Every nation and more specifically every people has produced its monuments of glory, its replicas of artistic quality and has, thus, contributed eternal life to man's historical existence through the ages.

THOUGH MAN'S origin cannot be precisely documented and deciphered from stone monuments or tabloids, yet, through the erection of this technical and scientific skill we have managed to gleam some perspective and reflection upon a part of the development of civilizations in antiquity.

Why should the past be our concern in the present? Why should we swing the pendulum back in time to focus upon the past sealed up in stone? I t is because today we are living in an age of enlightenment. An age of the reaccessment of history. An age when secrets are uncovered from the vaults of the earth and hidden knowledge has become manifest.

More importantly, God's Supreme Wisdom teaches us, through His Divine Oracle Muhammad, that when there is to come a great change in the form of the civilizations a n d in the earth's structure, the peoples must be informed and given this knowledge from all the signs and wonders of the earth and universe which bear witness to that which was before the destruction of the old world and the birth of the new order.

Thus, it is, today, that the true origin of all races and civilizations are being uncovered to its grass roots, and each nation and civilization is offering their final testimony to that which welded and nurtured them into their present forms. We go forward in the hopes of constructing a better future, but if the foundation of our world is without roots of the knowledge and science of our ancestors, then we are doomed to gradual extinction.

tion, for what God, Almighty, intends to bring about in the future with the people and nations of His choice shall eclipse all signs and glories of the old world.

May we now turn our attention to some of the structural contributions of the Mayan Culture and Civilization. Many of these structures have been compared to the great pyramids of Egypt, even though the two civilizations have developed in separate geographical areas of our earth. However, the peoples responsible for the both divergent trees of our common inheritance have sprung from the black Asiatic soil with its fountainhead in Saudi Arabia, the first nucleus of humanity to populate the Planet Earth began or started civilization according to the Supreme Wisdom Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, in Arabia at the Holy City of Mecca.

CONAKRY, Guinea — Chinese Ambassador to Guinea Chai Tse-Min in a meeting with Guinean President Sekou Toure expressed strong indignation on behalf of the Chinese people against "the kidnapping by U.S. imperialism in collusion with the reactionary Ghanaian authorities of the Guinean delegation" to the Organization of African Unity conference.

AMBASSADOR Chair TseMin strongly condemned "this piratic act of U.S. imperialism and expressed full support for the Guinean government's "resolute struggle" against Western "skullduggery." He said that in this struggle, "the Chinese people and government have always stood firmly by the Guinean government and its people."

"WE CAN move in the direction of African unity by promoting trade among ourselves, and by letting down barriers of travel," she said.

She mentioned the language barriers that have to be eliminated. " I n Liberia today," Mrs. Stevenson said, "every child is taught to speak French starting from the first grade up. This is an attempt to break down the language barrier between Liberia and her French - speaking neighbor countries."

Mrs. Stevenson is a widow and the mother of two girls, ages 12 and 17. She received her elementary training i n Liberia, and continued her education at the American University in Washington, D.C. RetULrning to Liberia, she studied law for one year.

Chinese Aid Brings First Textile Factory to Yemen credited this new milestone in Sino-Yemeni friendship to China's foreign aid policy which is based on the spirit of proletarian internationalism enunciated by Chinese Chairman Mao Tse-tung. Expressing the common feelings of his countrymen, Abdullah, the factory director, commented: "Chairman Mao who has led the 700 million Chinese poeple in working wonders is now leading the people of the world to achieve victories."

Chairman Mao said ten years ago: "We must give active support to the national independence and liberation movement in countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America as well as to the peace movement and to just struggles in all the countries of the world."

This year Yemen's first modern cotton textile factory was completed and went into trial production with Chinese help. As the first snowy white cloth was produced, one of the workers taking part in the construction exclaimed, "Now we will not have to buy cotton cloth from the West any more." A staff m e m b e r added: "This is a serious blow to the imperialists."

Say 'A' Testing May Breed " 'Generation of Imbeeiles' NEW YORK—Future generations of imbeciles on an increasingly wide scale may well be one of the tragic legacies of man-made radiation, United Nations Scientists h a v e recently discovered.

Effects of Atomic Radiation.

THE REPORT affirms earlier findings of the committee that any dosage of radiation poses g e n e t i c hazards.

The report contains more precise findings as to the genetic hazards of all forms of radiation, including an analysis of the comparative risks of radiation treatments and new evidence on the relationship of the prime factor to exposure.

The hereditary study also includes new material on the mutation of genes and chromosome anomalies, both of which can be triggered by radiation.

ONLY NOW are researchers discovering many of the deadly effects of radiation resulting from American, British, French and Russian atomic-weapons testing.

Recent reports show radiation may well adversely affect the intelligence and height of persons in future generations whose parents have been exposed to the fallout of nuclear testing.

"There is evidence that complexly-inherited characteristics, such as stature and intelligence, may be affected by induced gene mutations and that the effects would probably be adverse," according to the report.

The finding is among the conclusions of the l a t e s t study of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the

"GENE mutations result in an alteration of the elementary units of information that make up the genetic message received by the progeny from their parents, whereas chromosome anomalies involve the loss, duplication or r e a r r a n g e ment of minor or major parts of the same message," the report explained.

Experts Say Play Vital to Child's Learning Process (Pan African Press) All work and no play may not only make Jack a dull boy, but a stupid one as well, said childhood development authorities at a recent symposium in Chicago's Conrad Hilton hotel.

Islam Changes Woman's 'Existence' to Fulfillment

By Sister Mary 2X Tuggle (Detroit, Michigan) Now that I have found the true knowledge of myself and kind, I give praises to Allah, the Lord of all the world, for giving the black man and woman here in the wilderness of North America one so great and trustworthy as the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

FROM HIS teachings, I have learned that the world I used to live in was full of t r i c k s and lies. I have learned that one must love himself and kind before he is able to love others.

Therefore, I was really taking a chance in bestowing my affections, because one cannot really love rmless he has a full understanding of love. We, the so - called American Negroes, n e v e r really understood what this meant vmtil we were blessed with the Messenger of Allah.

Before my awakening, I could see life coming and going for my people, but still there was nothing being left here on earth to show for our lives. There was no great history or anything of this kind to pass on to our chil-

Now I know what makes this world tick, and if we want to be here to see the next world, all black men and women and their children must go to their nearest Mosque of Islam and put their names on the Book of Life.

I T IS I N the Messenger's Mosques that we learn to put into action what has been proven to be true. We are black people and must show the world that we are proud to be black people. We must stand up and do for self and kind. Unity and togetherness, following the Messenger of Allah, will awaken and dignify us.

There is nothing wrong with the sociality of these groups.

Buffalo Speech

By Brother Clark X Buffalo^—An overflow crowd of enthusiastic visitors and followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad heard an electrifying presentation of the Messenger's teachings by Minister John B. X of Muhammad's Mosque No. 13 in Springfield, Mass.

Allah's last Messenger trying to save an ignorant and belligerent people.

He particularly made a point of drawing a clear picture of the times in which we are living and explained, according to the Messen-' ger's example, what must be i done. He Impressed upon the tense audience that unity is the key.

MINISTER JOHN, on a visit to Muhammad's Buffalo Mosque No. 23, told his spellbound audience how Almighty God Allah came in search of the so-called Negro, and resurrected the first Fruit, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

Continuing his enlightening dissertation, M i n i s t e r John told of the long hours of endless labor spent by

MINISTER J O H N emphasized the need of the socalled Negro to accept his own and to return to the only true religion—the one authored by God h i m s e l f , Allah.

Minister John praised the work carried out at Muhammad's Mosque No. 23 under the leadership of Minister John B. X of Buffalo, N.Y.

MUHAMMAD SPEAKS

The

Messenger

of Allah

iim What Muslims

the Want

This is the question asked most frequently by both the whites and the blacks. The answers to this question I shall state as simply as possible.

1. We want freedom. We want a full and complete freedom.

2. We want justice. Equal justice under the law. We want justice applied equally to all, regardless of creed or class or color.

3. We want equality of opportunity. We want equal membership in society with the best in civilized society.

4. We want our people in America whose parents or grandparents were descendants from slaves, to he allowed to establish a separate state or territory of their own—either on this continent or elsewhere. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to provide such land and that the area must he fertile and minerally rich. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to maintain and supply our needs in this separate territory for the next 20 to 25 years—-until 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 years of our sweat and blood and receiving in return some of the worst treatment human beings have ever experienced, we believe our contributions to this land and the suffering forced upon us by white America, justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or t e r r i t o r y of our own.

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

We want every black man and woman to have the freedom to accept or reject being separated from the slave master's children and establish a land of their own.

We know that the above plan for the solution of the black and white conflict is the best and only answer to the problem between two people.

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

We believe that the Federal government should intercede to see that black men and women tried in white courts receive justice in accordance with the laws of the land—or allow us to build a new nation for ourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom and liberty.

7. As long as we are not allowed to establish a state or territory of our own. we demand not only equal justice under the laws of the United States, but equal employment opportunities—NOW! We do not believe that after 400 years of free or nearly free labor, sweat and blood, which has helped America become rich and powerful, that so many thousands of black people should have to subsist on relief, charity or live in poor houses.

8. We want the government of the United States to exempt our people from A L L taxation as long as we are deprived of equal justice under the laws of the land.

9. We want equal education—but separate schools up to 16 for boys and 18 for girls on the condition that the girls be sent to women's colleges and universities. We want all black children educated, taught and trained by their own teachers.

Under such schooling system we believe we w i l l make a better nation of people. The United States government should provide,

NOVEMBER 18, 1966

Presents

I free, all necessary text books and equipment, schools and college buildings. The Muslim teachers shall be left free to teach and train their people in the way of righteousness, decency and self respect.

10. We believe that intermarriage or race mixing should be prohibited. We want the religion of I s l a m taught without hinderance or suppression.

These are some of the things that we, the Muslims, want for our people in North A m e r i ca.

What Muslims

the Believe

1. W E B E L I E V E in the One God Whose proper Name is Allah.

2. W E B E L I E V E in the Holy Qur-an and in the Scriptii*es of all the Prophets of God. 3. W E B E L I E V E in the truth of the Bible, but we believe that it has been tampered with and must be reinterpreted so that mankind will not be snared by the falsehoods that have been added to it.

4. WE B E L I E V E in Allah's Prophets and the Scriptures they brought to the people.

5. WE B E L I E V E in the resurrection of dead—not in physical resurrection—but in mental resurrection. We believe that the socalled Negroes are most in need of mental resurrection; therefore, they w i l l be resurrected first.

Furthermore, we believe we are the people of God's choice, as it has been written, that God would choose the rejected and the despised. We can find no other persons fitting this description in these last days more than the so-called Negroes in America. We believe in the resurrection of the righteous.

6. WE B E L I E V E in the judgement; we believe this first judgement w i l l take place as God revealed, in America . . .

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

8. WE 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 equaiity—as a nation—of equals.

We do not believe that we are equal with our slave masters in the status of "freed slaves."

We recognize and respect American citizens as independent peoples and we respect their laws which govern this nation.

9. W E B E L I E V E that the offer of integration is hypocritical and is made by those who are trying to deceive the blaTk peoples into believing that their 400-.vear-old open enemies of freedom, justice and equality are, all of a sudden, their "friends." Furthermore, we believe that such deception is intended to prevent black people from realizing that the time in history has arrived for the separation from the whites of this nation.

If the white people are truthful about their professed friendship toward the so-called Ne-

Honorable Elijah Muhammad

gro, they can prove i t by dividing up America with their slaves.

We do not believe that America w i l l ever be able to furnish enough jobs for her own millions of unemployed, i n addition to jobs for the 20.000.000 black people as well.

10. WE B E L I E V E that we who declared ourselves to be righteous Muslims, should not participate i n wars which take the lives of humans. We do not believe this nation should force us to take part in such wars, for we have nothing to gain from it unless America agrees to give us the necessary t e r r i t o r y wherein we may have something to fight for.

11. W E B E L I E V E our women should be respected and protected as the women of other nationalities are respected and protected.

12. W E B E L I E V E that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. F a r d Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited "Messiah" of the Christians and the "Mahdi" of the Muslims.

We believe further and lastly that Allah is God and besides HIM there is no God and He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we all can live in peace together.
