By Charles P. Howard (UN Correspondent) UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. —When the white rulers were forced to give up the symbols of power in most of Black Africa, they left behind a pervasive secret ingredient which tends to turn Black men white on the inside. The ingredient was the colonial educational system. ACCORDING to the United Nations Economic and Social Council, which recently published a summary of the survey of the Economic C om m ission for Africa, the independent African countries still are burdened w i t h educational s y s t e m s t h a t Britain a n d Western Howard Europe abandoned at the turn of the century.

rope is being emphasized along with the other socalled " l i b e r a l arts" courses. THIS WAS the education needed by the colonialists, the survey points out, "to provide the small core of lower eschelons for their administration." In addition, it produced snobbish ideas in the educated African who thought of his education "as an escape from manual labor and the restrictions of the traditional communities. The idea of education ' as preparation for productive work and helping to build the nation was intentionally forgotten." The United Nations' characterization of the African educational system is apt: "The existing system in Africa," the survey states, "is therefore neither in line with African conditions of political independence, nor with the dominant features of an essentially technological age or of the needs of a balanced economic development involving improved agriculture and rapid industrialization. I t is based on a nonAfrican background and culture and ill-designed to meet her urgent and essential needs." (My emphasis — CPH). New nations, like babies, must crawl before they walk.

"EVERY PART of Miss Kitt's background had been checked and they found absolutely nothing that would indicate she would take a forceable stand on anything," one veteran observer reported. The investigation revealed that Miss Kitt had, at one time, even refused to sign a peace petition offered by an anti-administration group. " I t was well known that Miss Kitt was regarded as an 'Uncle Tom,' a White House correspondent stated. "Her previous marriage to a white man seemed to ^indicate that she was Eartha Kitt the 'go-along-with-the-program-type.'

NEW YORK—The Emergency Civil Liberties Committee issued an open letter asking for support to contest Federal indictments against Dr. Benjamin Spock and four other men charged with inciting resistance to the military draft. FEDERAL charges against the five contend violation of the Universal M i l i t a r y Training and Service Act. "The obvious purpose of the indictment," states the letter, "is to suppress opposition to the war — an Spock o p p o s i tion guaranteed to all American citizens by the First Amendment."

Race Discrimination Rampant in White-Collar Jobs Area

A survey by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has found crass discrimination against minorities in Chicago's white-collar jobs. THE FEDERAL agency made the finding public recently. I t said that, although 45 per cent of 1,300,000 Chicago workers surveyed are in white collar jobs, such jobs were held by only 15 per cent of the Negroes and 10 per cent of the Spanishnamed Americans.

Press)

How many Black soldiers have gone to their graves trying to conquer Viet Nam for the White Christian West may never be known exactly, but if you accept the Pentagon figures that a higher proportion of deaths among Negroes than whites have occurred ( 7 0 % of some frontline units are Black)—the toll must be staggering. In fact, if brunt of the deaths were borne by white troops alone, the U.S. would have been more than glad to "talk peace" with Ho Chi Minh. White Christians have already unleashed more bombs upon this small country than they dropped upon all of Europe during World War I I — yet, with courage seldom equaled in history, the Vietnamese refuse to go down. It is no exaggeration to say that there is a rising resentment among Asian, Africans Ho Chi Minh and Black people here against this most savage, inhuman example of White Supremacy to occur since the slave trade. What kind of man is Ho Chi Minh, the 11-yearold veteran fighter against White Supremacy, who is able to inspire a poor, underdeveloped Asiatic people to struggle so brilliantly against such brutal odds? In response to innumerable requests from black readers who have inquired for more objective information concerning these Asiatic people, we have digested excerpts from one of the more recent interviews done with Ho Chi Minh for an idea of his outlooks on the foe he fights within his own country.

Howard UN and Foreign Correspondent UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. —The United States piously says that it will not support any action that is not practical. But you cannot kill a snake by kissing it. Any practical action against South Africa in its present state of adamancy will require confrontation. WITH the tremendous investments held in S o u t h Africa by United States business interests, they don't want the boat rocked, hence the United States bows to b u s i n e s s interests even though we must violate all that the U.S. is supposed to stand for—is it any wonder that the Afro-Americans, certainly the compassionate, thinking ones, have lost all confidence in U.S. foreign policy in Africa, and intend to make it a political issue

in the coming national elections? The U.S. voted for the UN resolution calling for the release and repatriation of 30 Southwest African prisoners brought to Pretoria for trial, but abstained on the resolution that could have given action to their words. The U.S. also voted for the General Assembly Resolution No. 2145, revoking the Mandate of South Africa over Southwest Africa. But America refused to support subsequent action to impliment this resolution. S o m e means must be found to get Nazi South Africa out of Southwest Africa, but t h e United States has made it clear that it wants to prevent a direct confrontation with South Africa.

(Pan African Press) A newly formed Black antidraft organization has linked America's intended emasculation of World Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Alj and U.S. genocide against the beleaguered Vietnamese people and other non-whites around the world. THE NATIONAL Black Anti-War and Anti-Draft Union, a New York-based organization which is establishing offices in every major urban area in the nation, has called for "local (New York) actions supporting Muhammad Ali on March 4 when Joe Frazier and Buster Mathis will be contending for the heavyweight championship." Spokeswoman and national secretary, Gwen Patton, during a Chicago conference, declared "this bout must not happen! Muhammad Ali is and will always be heavyweight champion of the world! We must mobilize Black people, especially in New York, around this issue!" She called it an attempt "to rob us of our hero!" She indicated that it was part and parcel of an intense American c a m p a i g n to emasculate, intimidate and dominate the whole world— in particular, the non-white world.

Blacks tend to look on their own opposition to "the war" as pari of a continuing struggle for survival. "The time has become so crucial—tanks, M-12s, CBW, etc. in Black communities— that we must take an antiimperialist stand," a statement of National Black AntiWar and Anti-Draft Union principles declared. "The question of Viet Nam is not based on morality; it is based on survival. We understand that the fate of the Vietnamese people is the fate of Black people in this country." THE National Black AntiWar and Anti-Draft Union is an outgrowth of the Black Student Mobilization Committee. I t Is made up of Black youth.

While the Western powers offer assurances of "peace" with "no strings attached" Mr. Kaemba said his people cannot forget the long, "suffering years under British rule which left us with not one university, poor schools, poor roads, and illiteracy. "The wealth of our nation was exploited. The royalties from the copper mines went to foreigners, while we suffered," M r . K a e m b a recalled. WHILE THE Republic of Zambia still must rely upon foreign power in the way of technical assistance in industry, and depend to a great extent upon foreign investments, Mr. Kaemba said the whole nation's attention has been centered upon developing an "independent economy." Kaemba said this can only be done by "first, educating our youth." He added t h a t Zambia has undertaken a 4year economic - educational program and the government has a^loted 420 million pounds, the bulk of which " w i l l go toward training the young technical skills."

"Though there are 73 tribes, speaking 34 dialects, we have no problem of unity. "Strong leadership" is what the Zambia press at-

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. —Nothing gives the lie to white America's claim that she's in Viet Nam fighting for someone's freedom more than the cruel, bleak enslavement of 11 million Blacks in South Africa and Rhodesia — all with the connivance and support of the American economic power. WHITE South Africa is held up almost entirely by English and American investments and its white minority — whether they be Jews, Catholics or Protestants — conducts a Nazistyle extermination policy of the Black majority, forcing the Blacks to work at bare subsistence "wages," preventing them from the simplest exercises of freedom of movement, from education, from recreation, from adequate health. A recent report on Southern Rhodesia from the United Nations pointed out the bleak conditions of t h e 4,150,000 Africans of that white-ruled area and declared that they were "subjected to conditions of slavery within the definition of the term in the 1926 Convention on the Abolition of Slavery and Slave Trade." The report, prepared by Manouchehr Ganji of Iran, special reporter of the Commission on Human Rights, was totally ignored by the socalled "free" white American press. THE REPORT, issued recently, is the latest in a series entitled "Study of Apartheid and Racial Discrimination in Southern Africa." Issued earlier were chapters dealing similarly with South

I t states that "steps have been taken by the illegal regime in Southern Rhodesia leading to the enforcement of a policy of apartheid as applied in South Africa": The population is classified into racial categories subject to different laws and regulations; the land is divided to maintain segregation between Africans and the 224,000 Europeans; the effects of discrimination are felt in almost all aspects of

The effects of racial discrimination, as summarized in the document, "bear witness to the gravity of the problem in Southern Rhodesia," the report concludes.

Turning his attention to worldwide racial problems, Kaemba said "the trouble the Black man faces the world over is the same." HE STATED that in America the Black man should attempt to learn more about Africa, through contact with representatives of the African Nations. "Our Embassy offers lectures, slides, literature, etc., and we are eager to help the black man of America understand present day Africa." "We need closer contact," he said. "Then the African will no longer have a distorted opinion of the Black man and his condition in America, nor will you think of the African as you see him in "Tarzan." Mr. Kaemba deplored the propagandistic efforts em-

ployed to divide the Black man in America from "his brother in Africa. "THE USA should present the proper image, and show the actual conditions of the Black people in America and the Black people of Africa." "Even B l a c k American diplomats who go to Africa, Mr. Kaemba complained, "paint a false all-is-well picture" to the African. "Actually," he continued, "the poor B l a c k man in America is poorer" than the poor Black man in Zambia. You do not see the poor people 'begging' in Zambia. He may be poor but he has some land, a house and s o m e food." Mr. Kaemba, who leaves this week for Zambia for a much deserved 30-day vacation, said he intends to tell his people "the truth about the conditions existing in America today, and hopes to be present to confront any visitors bearing tales of the "wonderful conditions existing for the Black man in America.

A 'Grievance A c t ' for Blacks CHICAGO-—As an alternative to suppressive military police tactics to prevent Black riots against an unjust American system, a University of Chicago professor suggests the establishment of a "grievance act." JEROME H . Skolnick, an associate professor of sociology and consultant to the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, cited

the grievance act as a constructive means of preventing riots because "People who live in urban areas—especially in ghettos — have grievances which cannot be dealt with fairly by the people against whom the grievances have been brought." The act, drawn up by a group of lawyers and law professors, would provide complainees with an impartial hearing on which a decision is reached.

of On

the

Distress

Nations

The current distress of nations, unlike any in history, has shaken the foundations of white Christian America— but to one divinely-missioned Messenger, selected by Almighty God, Who came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, the current climate of wars and rumors of greater wars plainly hears out what He had boldly and courageously pointed out again and again while so many leaders, Black as well as white, were too blind to understand or see. Throughout the years, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad has seen to it that the front pages of his newspaper, MUHAMMAD SEE.IKS, carried, in capsule fashion, the pure spiritual truth of our times and of times to come. Rather than the gaudy headlines of the commercial press, Muhammad brought to millions of Black readers a vivid message in language comprehensible to the Black man on the streets as well as to those intellectuals who were not too brainwashed to allow themselves to investigate the truth. As the distress of nations nears Armageddon, a flashback over the truths brought by God's last Messenger reveals how reliably this divine leader brought light into areas of darkness. Through his publication, admittedly unique in the Western world, Messenger Muhammad, many years ago, spelled out the fact that UNETY AND ISLAM was the only safe route to black powers. He called upon Black leaders to ESTABLISH A UNITED BLACK FRONT; he urged our people to "ACCEPT YOUR OWN KIND." He pointed out to them that A SA VIOR WAS BORN and warned that OUR DAY IS NEAR AT HAND. It was Messenger Muhammad (March, 1965 and before) who ur^ed Black men to BUILD OUR OWN ECONOMY. In October, 1961 (and long before) he called for "SOME OF THIS EARTH FOR OUR OWN, OR ELSE," and warned America of THE JUDGMENT AND SEPARATION. He pointed out that our people were A NATION WITHOUT A HOME (April, 1966) and repeatedly pointed to this land as A HOL SP DOOMED TO FALL. There has been no equal to Messenger Muhammad, either in ancient or modern times, as this is indeed Almighty God's (Allah's) Last Messenger who was missioned to open the door for our salvation. In response to repeated, requests for Muhammad's prophetic articles written long before today's period of war and confusion, we proudly reprint the following which reflects the awesome accuracy with which the Messenger imparted the wisdom of Cod to the 30 million Black people in America long before today's events.

ren-in-Islam in the U.S.A. Allah (the Almighty God, to Whom all praises are due forever!) knows that I felt extremely worried and anguished about the future of ALL "Asiatic" (i.e., "original," black or so-called Negro) inhabitants of this country. Why? . . . Because, while contemplating and seriously pondering over the subject, I could "see" no creditable improvement in their living conditions and surroundings. Because I realized the "Great Society," seemingly forever preoccupied with its global military entanglements, remained disinterested in alleviating the suffering and misery of its poor. Because, it further appeared to me, the "powers that be" would continue — unabashed and unhindered—to suppress Black Americans' legitimate aspirations to evolve a way of life and culture all their own. THEN THERE were the n u m e r o u s unmistakable "signs" that white America was preparing to launch some sort of "war" at home . . . "Police agencies throughout the country are purchasing armored cars and stockpiling such equipment as tear gas grenades, other non-lethal weapons and shotguns . . . " said a report in

the New York Times. The Attorney General of the United States, Mr. Ramsey Clark, addressing a news conference in Washington, D.C., expressly bid the nation "plan for the worst and hope for the best . . . this summer . . . " Writing in the magazine Army, Col. Robert B. Rigg, a retired U.S. Army intelligence officer and author of "War: 1974" urged the Army and the National Guard to prepare themselves for "prolonged war, not in Viet Nam, but right here in our largest cities . . . " "THE FIRE next time will look like the Third World War," pronounced a notice in (February's) Esquire, inviting the readers to look for further details in the magazine's March issue. A U.S. News & World Report forecast specifically and emphatically "warned" that the United States would experience "more violence" during the next 12 months than in "1967 — the worst year for riots." The ominous threat was repeated, in effect, in numerous articles appearing in The New Republic, The National Observer, The Saturday Evening Post and dozens of other white-owned media of information across the country.

From the same corruption that their own hands have wrought will come their doom. THE CHRISTIANS preach that which they do not do and cannot do. Such as "Love thy neighbor." I have as yet to meet one who loved his neighbor as he did himself. "Thou shalt not k i l l . " I*have as yet to meet such a Christian. They even fight against each other, rob and kill each other, but yet represent themselves as world peacemakers —with whom? THE GREAT deceivers of the world will reap what they have sown. Have they not corrupted many people and nations under the false disguise of good peaceful loving Christians? The Christian West is full of the worst crimes, practicing evils and indecencies to the fullest and seeking to practice them on other nations as well.

That I failed to do so necessitates that I offer an explanation: I was—I confess—suddenly seized by a strong and deep feeling of despair.

Man has been drinking milk continuously throughout his life — from cows, sheep, goats, camels, and buffalo. Since we still crave for this food, and drink i t (for after leaving our mother's breast, we go to the breast of cattle the balance of our lives) we should raise these cattle under the most protected eye for their good health. THE PURE milk fat that we call butter should not be mixed with vegetable fats. I t should be eaten without mixing it, like grandmother, and grandfather ate it. Substitute foods are destroying a great percentage of good health. Pure wheat makes the best bread. Having the knowledge that bread is easy to digest, we must remember that to get the best results out of wheat bread we must cook it thoroughly done; This is to prevent i t from doing too much rising, which will cause the stretching of the stomach and other intestines.

TORONTO — A move to unite the estimated s e v e n million Negroes in Canada for their own progress and survival was inaugurated here under the banner of the Community Support Movement (COSMO). SPOKESMEN for the group say the movement is necessary for two basic reasons: • "Negroes as a group are among the country's poorest people. • "Negroes are a minority g r o u p and such groups are potentially in danger of subjugation or extermination by the dominant majority group." A COSMO "Manifesto" asserted that "the threat of subjugation is lessened if the majority group is cohesive and possesses economic power."

The fact is that I am still —to this very moment—despondent and frightened. I am frightened because I suspect the "Establishment" would use the baseless (white - conceived?) rumors of an "impending Black revolution or organized guerrilla warfare" as an excuse to harass, arrest, imprison or otherwise do away with those among the Black leadership considered a "threat to the peace and security of the nation." I suspect this, I might add, on the strength of ample as well as readily available evidence that the Federal government would soon enact a series of new laws aimed at "preventing or effectively dealing with . . . a (Black) insurrection . . . " ANOTHER reason I feel depressed and harrowed up the soul is that, while I am convinced t h a t the "lostfounds" (i.e., American socalled Negroes) would not knowingly "act in an improper manner . . . thus hastening upon themselves the dreaded day of Armageddon," I am unable to see how they would all escape the "terrible devastation, destruction a n d death" the devils would inevitably unleash should the latter go through with their sinister scheme of kindling huge new fires throughout this veritable "hell-on-earth." Under the circumstances, I cannot help crying out iloud — to the top of my voice: WAKE UP, BLACK \MERICA! AWAKEN, O ^EOPLE OF ALLAH, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE ! Fortunately — Allah be raised! — the one last sure .nd safe alternative to per-

The alternative is to flock to the beautiful banner of ISLAM —the banner of freedom, j u s t i c e and equality held high for you in the kind yet firm and unwavering hands of that extraordinary latterday bearer of divine wisdom and truth—Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

CONFUSED OVER WHAT TO DO about captured American spy ship were President Johnson and senior foreign advisors including UN Ambassador Arthur Goldberg and Dean Rusk (foreground left and right). Besides being

caught in the act, the U.S. was shaky about the possibility of another major war front if the Pueblo incident brought on a rash American reaction.

Determining

the

Denture

Success

By Dr. Leo P. X McCallum The success of an artificial replacement for the teeth, be it a fixed or removable one, depends on several factors — not just the dentist. In the case , pf complete A flj dentures, for s a m p l e , the d e g r e e of Dr. Leo success that m a y be o b tained depends upon the condition of the bony ridges and tissues with which the patient comes to the dentist; the skill of the dentist and the mental frame of mind, or dental understanding of the patient (we call this the patient's dental I.Q.). People have teeth extracted for different reasons and the kind of bone or ridge the patient is left with will be influenced by this fact. If,

for example, a person has teeth extracted for reasons of decay, there may still be good bony ridges left after the extractions. This assumes the dentist did not have to grind away bone trying to remove badly broken down, infected teeth, which may prove difficult to remove, requiring surgery. In sharp contrast to this type of ridge is that found in the mouths of people who have lost their teeth from periodontal disease (pyorrhea). This malady is a pusoozing, bone-destroying disease. When teeth are removed under these conditions, there is very little bone remaining, leaving the dentist a very poor ridge with which to work. Identical dentures made by the same dentist will function differently for each of these patients, based solely on the amount of bony support for each set of dentures.

Blames W a r for the Epidemic Spread of Plague in Viet Nam GENEVA — The W o r l d Health Organization attributes the spread of plague in South Viet Nam to the disruptive forces of the war. — A REPORT issued by the organization said that the spread of plague has reached "epidemic" proportions. Other countries fear a spread of the dread disease. The highly infectious dis-

ease is transmitted by rodents and fleas and is usually characterized by fever, prostration and glandular swelling. This by-product of an unjust and oppressive war has totaled 330 deaths in South V i e t N a m alone. Known cases of plague for 1967 totaled 5,153 with an undetermined number of susDected cases.

Industrious By Lonnie 2X WASHINGTON — Brother Jacob X. 22-year-old veteran in the Nation of Islam, continues to surprise the business world in the nation's capital where he operates a thriving eight-chair tonsorlal parlor. HOWEVER, not satisfied " to rest on his laurels, he came t h r o u g h with the amazing feat of obtaining more than 200 requests for copies of the historic book, "Message to the B l a c k Man," by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. A lion's share of this sales success must be credited to his popularity and the atmosphere of genuine hospitality patrons have experienced in his barber shop. The requests for the book are not pledges, as Brother Jacob—affectionately known _as "Jake the Barber" — pointed out. " T H E S E books were signed, sold and delivered" — all within the period of eight weeks. This follower of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad has chalked up a number of unusual feats and patriotic sacrifices for the Nation of Islam. He also has served as captain of the local Fruit of Tslam (F.O.I.) on more than one occasion while maintaining a growing business. Brother Jacobs attributes his successes to the "teachings of Messenger Muhammad." "THE Messenger taught me how to save. Soon I had enough capital to go into business,'" he recalled. The gifted young man sees no conflict between "business and the Nation." In fact, he asserted that being in business "helps me to assist in the financial affairs of the nation. " I have received numerous blessings," he added. " I thank Allah and His Apostle."

MUHAMMAD SPEAKS

FEBRUARY ft, Ift68

By Tynnetta Deanar The divine lashing promised to America for her shocking treatment of her ex-slaves seeking first-class citizenship in this country is now in progress. This is a fact which has been clearly outlined to us through the teachings of Messenger Muhammad. I t is a "must" for our people to ponder and to consider the various methods that are being employed to this end. THE HONORABLE Elijah Muhammad has taught us that the power of Allah (the power of Master Fard Muhammad, God in Person) has entrusted certain keys of power to seven elected angels who are in control, through His Will, of the natural elements of the earth and universe. As I recall from his teachings on this subject, these angels control the execution of the full force of the elements of nature which are being used to help b r i n g America to her knees. They control, for example, the wind, water, sun, moon and stars by Allah's permission. THIS extraordinary power emanating from this divine source is, thus, being denied by the most advanced Christian nation i n the world, America. Yet, her conduct parallels ancient cities and-nations of the past which fell under the divine lashing of Jehovah (God). Tornadoes, h u r r i c a n e s , rainstorms, i n t e n s e heat, hail storms, fires, droughts and earthquakes are some of the signs of that destruction is coming to pass. This destruction is inclusive of land slides, flood w a t e r s , frosts destroying millions in farm crops and food stuffs, yet, none will admit or submit to the power of God (Allah) even in the grips of His bitter chastisement. AT THIS point, and with more of this unpredictable divine lashing on the way, I venture to suggest to those among our people who still have a wayward heart from the truth, that if considerably more of the power of Allah were unleashed, leveling mountains and cities beneath enormous cracks in the earth, America would S U P P O R T M U H A M M A D ' S MOSQUE OF I S L A M YEAR ECONOMIC S A V I N G 5 PLAN

WE HAVE but to turn to the Scripture of the H o l y Qur-an which corroborates the teachings of Messenger Muhammad w h e r e i n we may read that Iblis (Satan) would not bow down in submission to that man which was fashioned from b l a c k mud. The devil would not bow down to the humble servants of Allah nor to the God, Himself. He is by nature too proud, bellicose and arrogant. Not even the white evangelist, Billy Graham, seeking to inspire his people to the warnings of the times can awaken his people to the fact that God is broadcasting daily — t h r o u g h clear, manifest signs — the coming destruction of America and all people who have contributed to the downfall of the black man and a world of peace and brotherhood. THIS SUBJECT shall be continued as we grapple w i t h this part of the destruction of America as is now taking place in the form of natural disasters as taught by Messenger Muhammad and as corroborated by the world's religious scientists and scholars and the stirring Revelation of the Holy Qur-an.

Men Still Majority But Just Barely OTTAWA — There are still more men than women in the world, but the ladies are rapidly closing the gap — and in the Dominion of Canada it is all but closed. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics revealed that the 1966 census showed 101 men for every 100 women. This paper-thin ratio was the lowest since the bureau started keeping such figures in 1901. In 1901, there were 105 Canadian men for every 100 women. This figure was 113 in 1911, but declined to 102 by 1961.

Warns Against

Snacks

SAN FRANCISCO—A California dentist cites the greatest cause of children's tooth decay is eating the wrong kinds of snacks. Dr. Merle Morris, chairman of the children's section of the School of Dentistry, warned against the eating of candies, pastries, ice cream and the like consistently. While these foods may not cause harm during a regular meal, Dr. Morris noted, "eaten throughout the day, they keep mouth bacteria continually supplied with sugar creating acid favorable to dental decay."

In America's c o n f r o n t a tion with the threat of communism and socialism pulling at the strings of her socalled democratic society, one must remember t h a t from their own teachings of Christianity e m e r g e s the guilty, for in the words of Jesus, he is reported to have said: "Let him who is without sin cast the f i r s t stone." So it is that America is too hard-hearted and proud to submit to truth and justice. She can teach it and preach it from consecrated pulpits, but she cannot practice it even with the threat of her future annihilation. Where do we find the root of America's stiff-hearted citizenry?

PITTSBURGH, Pa.—America's genocidal birth control scheme, ruthlessly designed to curtail and reduce the number of Black people in America, has employed hundreds of devious plans to jolace the deadly "birth con_ trol pills" into the hands of Black women throughout the country. THE latest plot which was u n e a r t h e d here by Dr. Charles E. Greenlee of the Pittsburgh NAACP, involves the use of Federal funds "to c o v e r the communities, where the poor live, with birth control Pill M i l l s , seemingly to depress the birth rate of the poor in these areas. "These Pill Mills," states a letter from Dr. Greenlee, ^ POedjcal doctor, "are located in the poor B l a c k areas only, thus making the D.P.A. (Department of Pubtic Aid) a party to this attempted genocide. " I t is important to note," the letter goes on, "that the people of the Black areas are recruited and persuaded that they are "sick" and need birth control pills. " I DON'T see how health ~ funds can be spent for a

group of people who have no health complaints and whose only apparent sickness is their ability to reproduce their own kind," Dr. Greenlee's letter adds. He said it s h o u l d be pointed out that the need for food supplements (vitamins, minerals, etc.) for the poor, is not considered enough of a health problem to qualify under the rules of the health department to be funded by the D.P.A. However, the secretary's decision indicates that reproduction of their kind by D.P.A. r e c i p i e n t s is unhealthy e n o u g h to pay money to a Pill Mill for one of their M.D.'s to write a prescription every 80 d a y s for birth control pills, while it provides no health service to an apparently healthy poor person. "THE decision of our secretary of health (a B l a c k U n c l e Tom, according to m a n y militant Pittsburgh leaders) to h a v e D.P.A. workers send people to these Pill Mills is merely an official confirmation of what has been going on in Pittsburgh* for the past year," Dr. Greenlee's letter concludes.

LUSAKA, Zambia — President Kenneth Kaunda personally r e c e i v e d and greeted members of a Chinese railway study group which has come here to begin drawing plans for a 1,000-mile plus railway from Zambia's copper mines to the Indian Ocean at Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania. HE WELCOMED the engineers, noting that C h i n a and Africa I had a "common bond" t h r o u g h the o p p r e s sion and suff e r i n g they had both experienced under the barbarity of white Christian Kaunda colonialization and exploitation. Present on the occasion were Zambian Chief of Protocol at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Nyierenda and L i Chen-ho, Chinese charge d'affaires ad interim.

Once

Again

Among

Narcotics

CLEVELAND —Drug addiction is again becoming a predominantly white affliction, according to the Rev. Dr. Jack M . Sherley, chaplain, U.S. Public H e a l t h service, Lexington, Ky. FOR 17 YEARS, he said, Negroes, Puerto Ricans, and other Latins were in the majority at the Lexington hospital for addicts. But a swing back to the white majority began in 1967, and the hospital today does not have a Negro majority for the first time sine?

Addicts about 1950, said Dr. Sherley, an expert on the psychological effects of drug abuse. Poverty and deprivation are primary causes of drug addiction, he said. In addition, "pressures of transition" for white immigrants can provide the frustrations that lead to drug abuse, he added. "The use of narcotics was largely unknown among Negroes until the turn of the century, when white gangsters moved the drug traffic into the biack community.

Inhaling of Some Aerosol Sprays Can Be Fatal: F T C WASHINGTON—The Federal T r a d e Commission (FTC) has ordered manufacturers of aerosol spray products used in frosting cocktail glasses to include on labels the following warning L^krcM and conspicuous '-ype: "WARNING: Do not inhale. Use only as Directed. Death may result from inhaling this product." The Commission has noted that although reports of such deaths appeared more than two months ago, these products continue to be advertised and sold without any warning whatever. T h e Commission issued complaints charging violations of law by several realestate agencies, charging that apartments they r e n t "are ^iot available to applicants who are Negro." The complaint also charges false advertisement claims. The FTC has issued a complaint charging violations of law by Universe Chemicals, Inc., in Chicago. "Respondents a r e now, and for some times past, have been engaged in the offering for sale and distribution of water repellent paints and coatings to dealers for resale to the public under the trade names of 'Kleer-Kote' and ' K o 1 a rKote.' " THE complaint charges that, contrary to represen-

tations made by respondents or their salesmen and in brochures and printed material: • Products sold by respondents are not unconditionally guaranteed for a period of 10 years, but only guaranteed in a limited way and not unconditionally. • Respondents' products KLEER-KOTE, do not contain fourteen per cent silicones, but a substantially lesser amount. • Respondents' p r o d u c t s are not waterproof, but only water repellent to a limited extent. • They do not p r ev e n t rust, and are not suitable for use on the inside of a structure.

By Brother G.D.X (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) The reason I accepted Islam was my desire for peace and happiness, which I am receiving from Islam. I got tired of being hunted like an animal.

How Messenger's Beacon of Truth Lighted Path of Happiness for Distressed Woman By Sister Kathryn 4X (Rowe) (Detroit, Mich.) c DETROIT — When I saw my Dear H o l y Apostle's smiling picture in the Janu a r y 12 M U H A M M A D S P E A K S , my spirit was lifted and I was bestowed with renewed courage to give all I have to see that his niission is completed, so that our Nation might live in the peace and happiness promised by a smile as that. SURELY WE all should help our Dear Apostle to be constantly wreathed in such a smile, for how richly he deserves the peace it depicts. He has sacrificed all for us, whom he loves entirely. I f any of our paths are rocky, it is because we have failed to follow his divinely-given advice. But how can I tell The Messenger of Allah of the peace he has taught me, for which I thank Almighty A l lah? How can I tell him— who knows all about me and all of his people—that Allah, and Allah alone, has guided me in righteousness, simply because I am living Islam? How easy Islam is to live. I t is even easier than breathing. Islam is life itself—to -the fullest. HOW CAN I tell my Dear Apostle about the things I see happening around me daily, hourly—from which Allah protects me. I can only thank you, Dear Holy Apostle—thank you for being the Messenger of Allah and loving us enough to teach us who He is. And I shall love you and follow you and help you all the days of my life, so long as it pleases Allah, to Whom praises are due forever.

I t is the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, I know, who knows the best way for us, the Lost-Found Nation, here in the wilderness of North America. The way to unity, peace and happiness and the blessings of Allah can only come to us when we follow and obey your instructions.

Most of the time, you have violated the law three times. Before I found myself and accepted my own, I committed all of these crimes: burglary, robbery, theft, narcotics, forgery, gambling

Mr. Elijah Muhammad's book, "Message to the Blackman," gave me new life. I kicked the dope habit in New York City by reading the book. The truth had been hidden from me and my people by the white Christians. We are victims of slavery. Well, all of you dead brothers and sisters, the truth is here (plain). There is no excuse.

SINCE I HAVE been following the Messenger of A l lah, the meaning of "Resurrection of the dead" is becoming clearer to me. We just don't know ourselves. I believe this is so because of my own personal experience with facing the truth. Had it not been for this great God of truth, this great religion of peace, Islam, and this Messenger of Allah, the God of truth and righteousness, I would not be aware today of just how blind, deaf and dumb I really am. We can never give praise and thanks enough to A l mighty God Allah for coming to us and raising up one like us as a leader, teacher and guide into the way of truth and righteousness, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

been reluctant to suggest that Africa follow the Chinese example. One reason for this reluctance is easy to find: Britain and France still rely on Africa for much of its raw materials, for places to which to export capital and manufactured products. I n other words, the white imperialist nations are just as much colonialists in their relations with the former colonies as they ever were in the past. It is time that African leadership cease ignoring the educational machinery that seeks to turn out black Africans with white European minds; the kind of minds that can be used as well to overthrow dedicated, black leaders like Nkrumah. This system, which insured colonial slavery, will never open the way to full freedom. That way lies through the adoption of the African way, the way to making the complete African — in thought and actioir

IT IS THE first priority of new nations that they guarantee food and clothing for their people, that their development be based on a healthy agriculture. But this is being done, the UN document says, in only a few African c o u n t r i e s , notably Mali, Nigeria, Senegal and Tanzania. The importance of this educational orientation is gathered from the trade statistics, disclosing that a country as potentially rich as the Congo (Kinshasa) has to import food. Improperly educated teenagers in Africa are crowding into the cities, according to the UN study, creating more unproductive mouths to feed and opening the door to other grave social problems. The immediate problem, the UN advises, is not to assume the burden of universal free education for all, but to plan proper education for those who can currently be accommodated. Secondly, through this proper planning to stem the 50 per cent drop-

VAL GRAY, award-winning poetress and dramatist, was scheduled to headline a program on Afro-American history and cultural heritage. Other local artists and personalities on tap included radio commentator Lou House and poet Don L . Lee. A special guest was also to appear. The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) was founded in Chicago in 1942 by James Farmer, who has since resigned to work on government programs, to combat racial discrimination and segregation.

The Messenger of Allah Presents

fjat tfje Jtlusiltms: Slant 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

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 wnite 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 oppoi t—VUes—-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 gdrls be sent to women's colleges and universities. We want all black children educated, taught and trained by their own teachers.

2. We w a n n n f f l ^ . Equal justice under the law. We want justice applied equally to all, regardless of creed or class or "olor. * 3. We want equality of opportunity. We want equal membership in society with the best in civilized society. ^*«. 4. We want our people in America whose parents or grandparents were descendants from slaves, to be allowed to establish a separate state or territory of their own—either on this continent or elsewhere. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to provide such land and that the area must be fertile and minerally rich. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to maintain and supply our needs in this separate territory for the next 20 to 25 years—until 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 Under such schooling system we believe -forced upon us by white America, justifies we will make a better nation of people.

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. W E B E L I E V E in Allah's Pr< i ts and the Scriptures they brought to tic pie. 5. W E B E L I E V E in the resurrection of the dead—not in physical resurrection—but in mental resurrection. We believe that the socalled Negroes are most in need of mental resurrection; therefore, they will be resurrected first.

Furthermore, we believe we are the peo pfle 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. W E B E L I E V E in the judgement; we believe this first judgement will take place as God revealed, in America . . . 7. W E 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 feom the names imposed upon him by h i s jormer slave masters. Names which identified him 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.

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 hv those who a«-e trying to deceive the black peoples into believing that their 400-year-old open enemies of freedom, justice and equality are, all of a sudden, their "friends." Furthermore, we believe that such deception is intended to prevent black people from realizing that the time in history has arrived for the separation from the whites of this nation. If the white people are truthful about their professed friendship toward the socalled Negro, they can prove it by dividing up America with their slaves. We do not believe that America will ever be able to furnish enough jobs for her own millions of unemployed, in addition to jobs for the 20,000,000 black people as well. 10. W E B E L I E V E that we who declared ourselves to be righteous Muslims, should not participate in wars which take the lives of humans. We do not believe this nation should force us to take part in such wars, for wenave nothing to gain from it unless America agrees to give us the necessary territory 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 Mu-~ hammad, 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.
