AM A admits methadone peril AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION is beginning to admit now some of the perils in the random use of the heroin substitute, methadone. Earlier this week the AMA warned medics that "methadone is a dangerous substance which in a few cases has caused "O.D." (overdose) death. Methadone, a drug substitute drug which continues dependency, is usually distributed to patients in so-called "maintenance programs" in cup of fruit juice.

American style Nazism THE WAVE OF enforced sterilization bills has now reached Tennessee. The Madison Avenue and big business campaign to whip up hysteria concerning the imaginary threat of a "population explosion more deadly than nuclear explosion" (as the Rockefellers and McGeorge Bundy and Dean Rusk put it) has resulted in many neo-nazi bills though none has yet become law.

Tennessee's state legislature is holding hearings on proposed state legislation requiring the sterilization of any unmarried welfare- receiving woman who has more than two children.

Black representative Charles Pruitt of Nashville compared the hearings to 'Hiker's attempt to rid Germany of undesirables by sterilizing masses of women.'

Illinois. Ohio. Virginia and -many other states have or are conducting similar hearings in a conspiratorial effort to reduce the population in order to protect the profits and investments of the men who own' the legislatures.

US losses h e a v i e r than Pentagon admits

By Charles Simmons PARIS—The real reason the U.S. has refused to allow journalists to take a look at the situation in Laos since the U.S. - Saigon invasion has been made crystal clear here at the 104th session of the Paris Conference on Viet Nam, otherwise known as the Paris Peace Talks.

THERE ARE grim expressions on the faces of some North American newsmen as they hear Asian freedom fighters calmly state their victories against " Mr. Charlie."

And even the officials from the U.S. embassy show signs of embarrassment when they are reminded that their superior at the Pentagon.

Melvin Laird. Secretary of Defense, says that the U.S. is winning the war in Southeast Asia.

The only issue being argued here is the degree of the I".S.Saigon defeat.

Spokesmen from North Viet Nam including the famous General Giap. who defeated the French colonial forces, say the U.S. is close to the situation of France in 1954 when their troops were chased back to Paris after the battle of Dien Bien Phu. As of this writing, the U.S. claims it has lost less than 200 of its forces since the aggression into Laos. But the Asian freedom fighters in Viet

Nam say they have inflicted 1500 casualties (wounded, killed, missingi. including 900 U.S. troops.

Futhermore.

Laotian forces of liberation say that the South Vietnamese U.S. thrust into southern Loas has been effectively met.

The North Vietnamese news agency quoted the Laos forces as saying nearly 3.000 South Vietnamese-U.S. forces have been put out of action. They said over 160 U.S. aircraft have been shot down in the area since the incursion into Laos began.

If this gap of truth is hard to take, the U.S. newspaper published jointly by the Washington Post and the New York Times which is circulated abroad had this to say in criticism of the Pentagon's method of reporting its casualties: "This does not include the scores in casualties from rockets, morters, booby traps, and those aboard helicopters damaged by ground fire but not destroyed. None of those

MOISE TSHOMBE all over again: Western-backed military leader of Uganda, Major General Idi Amin, shakes hands with churchmen during recent meeting with them in Kampala, Uganda. He asked them to forget past religious differences and promised full religious freedom. Because of his backing by Israeli Zionists and fascist ex-Nazi mercenaries such as Rudolf Steiner, it is expected that Amin will be especially tolerant of the FascistNazi- Zionist religions as opposed to the other religions practiced

by Ugandans.

casualties are reported in the daily communiques."

Provisional Revolutionarv Government (PRG) Spokesman Dang Dinh Thao told the press that the U.S. -backed ranger batallion reported to have been put out of action in Laos, was not in Laos, but on the Vietnamese side of Highway 9, and wiped out bv the PRG forces.

He went on to elaborate on a long list of U.S. planes, helicopters, tanks, boats, and munitions dumps destroyed or put out of action. Laotion liberation forces sent word to the Paris talks saying they have put seven U.S.-Saigon batallions out of action inside southern Laos, and this has not been reported.

In the words of the Vietnamese delegation concerning Nixon's lies to the world: " Nixon says he has an omelet when he only has broken egg shells."

Minister Xuan Thuy. chief of the delegation from North Viet Nam, said, "While suffering heavy losses in Laos, the Nixon administration is feverishly preparing for attacks against North Viet Nam, causing an extremely serious situation in Asia an^ the world.

In other developments.

Madame Binh of the PRG of South Viet Nam. has recently returned to Paris from Rome after having been received by various organizations and government officials in Italy.

She was also greeted by embassadors from 27 nations at the airport in Italy. Those are countries which have extended recognition to the Vietnamese Liberation forces as the true representatives of their people.

IN THE FACE of what the U.S. Herald Tribune calls the U.S.'s greatest loss in four years." there are veiled threats emerging from certain U.S. spokesmen causing some diplomats here to wonder if the U.S. plans to use nuclear weapons in Asia to escape its desperate situation.

A timely statement from one U.S. ally, an Australian DeputyThomas Uren. says the U.S. is prepared to use 'tactical nuclear weapons against the North Vietnamese and Laotian" liberation forces, and along the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

(Traffic along the trail has reportedly doubled since the U.S. invasion to stop it.)

TRAGIC SCENE: Lone South Vietnamese woman stands watching as her only home burns up in flames on its coastal lowlands setting in a village located some 25 miles from Da Nang. The woman's hut - home was set afire by puppet South Vietnamese troops of the U.S. - backed Ky government. The contemptible excuse which the U.S. - backed troops used for setting afire the woman's home was that they found ammunition buried in her yard! understood mats.

In a recent conversation with veteran correspondent Wilfred Burchett. who has been covering the wars in Asia for the last 30 years (on the side of the liberation forces i . this writer asked: "Do you think the U.S. will attempt to use nuclear weapons in South Elast Asia to aboid being kicked out".

The internationally respected newsman replied they will " i f they think they can get away with it."

But the U.S. is vulnerable to China which also has nuclear weapons. China has warned the U.S. recently that its 700 million people are threatened by the recent escalations.

China does not say much, but her recent warnings are well A

The Chinese could use nuclear weapons against U.S. military bases throughout Asia such as Thailand. Singapore and on the seventh fleet. Furthermore, the Chinese have recently issued a public statement reminding the U.S. that China did not remain passive doing the Korean war when it considered itself threatened.

On the part of the Soviet Union, there has also been a recent statement of firm support for the liberation forces. It joined in a statement from the PRG saying a reason the U.S. is interested in S.E. Asia is because of its oil deposits.

Story and Photos

By Chester Sheard BECKLEY. W. Va. Growing demands by utility companies for coal to provide more power for constantly rising electrical needs have given callous coal mine company owners the opportunity to fatten their purses as they ruin communities and people, with no regard for either, by using .the strip mining method to procure coal.

THE GOOD that is derived from the coal mining industry is heavily overshadowed by the havoc it creates by physically destroying thousands of lives of men through unsafe practices and the deathly effects of coal dust creating black lung disease in the deep mines.

With the advent of strip mining, new dimensions of devastation are felt primarily to the land where once beautiful mountains and hills have become desecrated by mammoth machines gouging land in search of coal to supply domestic and foreign needs.

To the person driving through the mountains of West Virginia, one would not realize that the strange patch - quilt appearance of the mountain sides is really the ghoulish work of strip mining companies.

The road you travel on, in most cases, was built by the state to help the stripper bring the coal from the mountains.

But the state always says that it cannot regulate the operations of the mine owners.

Driving through the mountains can be very dangerous, as the road which was cut through them is bound by highwalls which many times have loose rocks and boulders that fall onto the highway making the road particularly unsafe.

THE SIGHT of destroyed trees and vegetation lying bare on the mountain sides is very reminiscent of the results of defoliation methods used by aggressive United States forces in Vietnam. Serious ecologists would have to look far and wide to find examples of land and water devastation worse than that of areas raped by strip mining operations.

To get the coal so vital to satisfying the demands for more energy, the owners first send loggers to the mountains to strip the sides of all the good timber. Cutting down of the trees eliminates the very foundation , necessary to prevent. landslides, soil erosion, water pollution, property damage and floods.

DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF STRIP MINING are magnified by appearance of mountains where greedy operators gouged the sides in search of black gold. Trees no longer produce beautiful foliage. Removal of trees has eroded the soil causing landslides After the loggers, come the bulldozers and augers trying to locate the coal seams, probing into the earth in search of the black gold. When they find what they are after, the machines go to work, boring, blasting, destroying much to get little. Sometimes no more than 35% of the available coal is gathered. They must hurry on to the next ridge for time is closing in on them.

COMMUNITY organizations are coming together all over the state as Citizens to Abolish Strip Mining.

They are protesting the presence and dangers of strippers in their areas. Too many homes have been completely destroyed by rock slides and floods to sit back idly any longer believing the vicious mine owners will stop reducing land to vegetation graveyards and people to ruin.

"How they live in their

n o w . .

S100.000 homes and have a clear mind, I'll never know. I know by. experience the many nights I have stayed up and listened to the water pouring off the mountains and the rocks tumbling off the hills," said Mrs. Harvey Kincaid who has lost two homes because of strip mining.

In their quest for exorbitant profits, the coal mine operators have initiated an $100,000 advertising campaign to hide the true economic picture of strip mining, trying to justify their brutality towards the people ultimately affected by their actions.

With a smaller investment than required for deep mining operations, the owners can get the coal out easier and faster, using huge machines operated by fewer men. thus enabling them to reap fortunes in a few months.

THE WEST Virginia Department of Mines lists in its latest figures for 1970 that 2,900 people employed in surface mining in West Virginia produced 27.000,000 tons of coal. Representing an increase of almost 50% over production in 1969. the trend is

offered a bill to terminate strip mining because he finds it contrary to the "general welfare of the state."

few as opposed to those of many, but if you stand on the piles of burning slag breathing the fumes of sulphuric acid, look down hills that appear to be giant steps formed in gouged out hills and smell the streams filled with polluted debris from the strip mining operations, you know the final answer must rest with the integrity of state and federal legislatures, which must be in the people's hands.

Senator Galperin stated, " I don't think a separate tax on surface mining replaces or justifies the destruction of the land, the pollution, and the damage to health and property that surface mining causes."

It is hard to know at what point to separate the needs of a

STATE-BUILT HIGHWAYS run through mountains enabling strip miners to continue their rape of beautiful country. Entire landscapes are ruined by huge machines that do work of many men in effort to get as much coal as possible out of earth without slightest care for safety of people. by those requesting the permit.

In spite of overwhelming evidence of non - compliance with state and federal laws against the strip mining operators, there has been recorded only one instance of a permit being refused.

Naturally if strip mining is to be abolished within two years, as many are demanding, there will be a loss of employment.

Strip mining work is very closely related to the skills of engineering construction workers much more so than they are to the skills of underground mining. West Virginia is currently going through extensive highway construction brought about because of their expanding economy.

With overdue consideration from the highway commission the surface mine workers could be incorporated into the highway building programs. This move would lessen the legitimate

fears of the strip miners of being put out of work because of the struggles between labor and the company - backed legislature.

IF SURFACE mining is to continue, some method of restoring the land to its original state must be found.

To restore the 32.000 acres that were stripped last year would cost an estimated $50 million.

Norman Williams, assistant director of the Dept. of Natural Resources declared.

"The process of putting the profits of the strip mine operator or coal owner ahead of our ecology pervades nearly all decision - making under provisions of the Surface Mine Reclamation Act of 1967.''

He cited the fact that sitting on the desk of Governor Arch Moore Jr. for the past three months have been proposals for revising the regulations of the 1967 act. However, Gov. Moore has done nothing to help

the commission to discharge its duties regarding reclamation proceedings.

Apparently the governor is not free to speak out against the lobbying coal owners, who have for a long time been known to control the legislature on the coal issue. It is no secret that the men who profit the most from strip mining are members of the state legislature.

Senator Tracy Hylton. i D Wyoming) is owner of the Perry and Hylton Coal Company and considered to be one of the largest strip miners in West Virginia. His efforts at reclamation to date have been less than what they should have been for a man elected to office to serve the people instead of aggravating their life styles.

STATE SENATOR Si Galperin has been one of the chief proponents of abolishing strip mining altogether. He has

In addition to the 314.000 unemployed, there are over 200.000 families which receive state assistance. This adds up to 514.000 unemployed. It is expected that when the figures for April are released, there will be over 600,000 unemployed people in Michigan.

THERE WAS also a case of discrimination and undue harassment that happened to a friend of mine. Josephine had passed out twice coming back to the company one day about a month ago. She was carried up to her bed by an ambulance attendant. She had been on sick -call that week for her problem but had received only useless pills.

But regardless of that, the orderly room ordered her to come "down there right away. I went down and told them that she was sick and couldn't get out of bed. That made no difference. Josephine told the CO (Commanding officer) over the phone that she couldn't get down there and that if the CO wanted to talk to her she'd have to come to her bed.

As every GI knows, standing unnecessary reveille, phoney inspections. frequent KP (kitchen police I and CQ (charge of quarters) and parade practice (which was entertainment to the EM) are very common. On top of this.

WACs are subject to living in barracks where the doors are kept open to the public and of course we were exposed to casual EM dropping by in the middle of the night. No heat or washing facilities. Mess hall food not fit for a dog let alone a human being. And the situation is so unbearable for some girls that they become pregnant out of wedlock in order to get out of such hell.

NEW YORK - I was a WAC for 1 year. 4 months and 11 days. I was in for 3 years, but got an undesirable discharge for standing up against the Brass.

I WAS A witness to all of this and was taken to confinement along with Josephine when I defended her against the CO. We were confined for two weeks in an old guard house with rusty water. open showers. completely unsuitable for use. A GI from preventive medicine said. "I wouldn't take a shower in one of those." The 1st Sgt. ordered Josephine to take a shower and when she refused to do so. the 1st Sgt. charged her with disobeying an order.

(Special to Muhammad Speaksi "There were only a few kids eft standing. Lt. Calley fired m them and killed them one by )ne," explained one witness.

Another witness told of a tiny ;hild crawling out of the ditch, 'a little baby, maybe one or :wo years old... Lt. Calley jicked it up by the arm. slung t into a deep part of the ditch md fired one shot."

BUT WAS the My Lai Massacre just the bloodthirsty viciousness of Calley and the ocor soldiers who followed his orders?

NO! Deliberate extermination orders were issued by the CIA— orders that can be compared to Nazi extermination orders. And well they might be because the U.S. Army uses the teachings of Nazis to train officers.

Army pamphlet number 20234. entitled "Operations of Encircled Forces: German Officers Who Fought in the Soviet Union during World War I I . " carrying out thousands of My Lai massacres in the Ukraine.

Army pamphlet no. 20-243. entitled "German AntiGerrilla Operations in the Balkans." was written for American military officers by the notorious murderer Lt. Gen. Hubert Lanz and Colonel of Police Karl Gaisser. Nazi "technical advisor" to the puppet Croatian police. This pamphlet recommends the actions of the Fifth SS Mountain Corps during Operation Kugelblitz in 1943 against communist guerrillas

in eastern Bosnia. the execution of 200 "suspected communists." "the burning of 10 villages" to break the Piraeus strike in 1944 and other such acts of fascist terror as a model for the suppression of guerrillas by "future occu piers."

WHAT TASK Force Barker did to My Lai on March 16.

1968. was no more out of character with the actions and goals of the U.S. Army in Viet Nam than the destruction of the Yugoslav town of Leskovik was out of character with Nazi occupation activities in the Balkans.

"First Lieutenant William Calley... and his men may be guilty of being unauthorized executioners, but not of" carrying out an unauthorized execution." wrote Jesse Frosch. a UPI reporter and former Captain in military intelligence in Quang Ngai City and Capt. Eugene Kotouc, an officer attached to Task Force Barker, the combination of American Division units which carried out the bloodbath at My Lai. The CIA coordinated what was known as Operation Phoenix — the systematic elimination of known Viet Cong hamlet and village cadres and supporters.

"The blacklist is the heart of the Phoenix program," Forsch said. "For My Lai it containthe names of as many as twothirds of the entire hamlet population. Those on the CIAPhoenix blacklists were labeled for systematic elimination. To the CIA, execution was definitely an acceptable means of elimination. Kotouc was given a copy of the blacklist for My Lai. He had it with him on the operation of March 16th. In effect, Company C was doing no more and no less than following CIA directives by putting the inhabitants to the wall."

i Chairman.

American viceman's Union, Room >88. 156 Fifth Avenue. New *7ork. N Y. 10010 and author of 'Up Against the Brass" Simon and Schuster i

z

And this is the statement of a man who ought to know.

(Within two months after Frosch exposed the role of the CIA in ordering the My Lai slaughter, his dead body was found by a road in Cambodia where he had been sent by UPI to cover the war.)

Witness after witness at Calleys trial at Fort Benning.

Georgia, has told of seeing Calley shoot unarmed villagers. including small children. And there is no doubt that Calley. a scab in civilian life and a Nazi in the military, ought to hang for it. But Calley. for all his personal viciousness was small pota toes.

HE WAS THE executioner at My Lai just as there were other Calleys who ran the gas chambers for Hitler in Nazi Germany.

Behind the Calleys are the really big enemies of all of us.

They run the U.S. military.

V Story and Photo Bv Chester Sheard PEORIA, Illinois—It took the unity and determination of all 209 employees to force the company to give into their demands but after 9*2 months of diligent striking and picketing, the management of the Peoria Malleable Castings Company relented and the gates of the plant opened with the workers, the majority of them being Black, going back to work having won their battle with management.

JAMES PEEPLES, Director of the Peoria Human Relations Commission, who played an unusually active part in helping the workers to understand their rights in this crucial labor issue, stated, " i t was the consensus of opinion of our commission that because of the past occurences in the plant, almost anything could have precipitated this strike."

But it wasn't "almost anything" that set off the strike, it was a racist white foreman who grabbed Robert Reddick, Black President of United Electrical Workers Union (UE) Local 140F. and cursed him for not responding to questions about absenteeism in the manner he felt was due him. Reddick, a big man in more ways than one, knocked the foreman down and was fired.

KNOWING the plant had a long history of racially motivated incidents which had gone unchecked by plant officials, the union felt it necessary to get involved in the matter and for two days meetings were held with plant management to try to iron out the differences so that Reddick could go back to work.

However, the officials, under the leadership of Plant Superintendent John Kauzlarich, refused to consider the request that Reddick be reinstated and the meetings got nowhere.

The union gave the company 48 hours to reinstate Reddick and when they wouldn't, the workers, much to Reddick's surprise, voted to go out on strike.

CONTRACT negotiations were about to begin between the union and plant management as their contract was to expire on April L Feeling they had the upper hand in the dispute, the company immediately listed four demands which it stated had to be met before any consideration could be given to union bargaining points.

The four demands were (1) no more time and a half for

support the Black workers received from the community.

Organizations from all over the city backed the strikers in their demands.

In an unprecedented move the Mayor of Peoria. Michael O'Brien, called a public negotiating session in the City Council Chambers after the

refused to budge. Their picket lines continued and more people began to participate.

MINISTERS of the community took a very active part in the struggle by admonishing their parishioners not to become scab workers as that would weaken the fight and enable the company to maintain their operation without hiring back any of the men that had been dismissed because of their refusal to call off the strike.

Several things happened to elevate the courage of the strikers. Sometimes negative actions present opportunities for unifying people in times of struggle. During the meetings, board member Lee Arthur Meeks died and the company refused to give his widow the death benefits due her because the contract between the union and company had expired. This was unbelievable!

Eleven workers had completed their years of service that entitled them to pensions.

The company refused to honor their claims, giving as their reason that they LT. WILLIAM CALLEY, who faces charges of 'premeditated were cancelling the pension murder' for his part in carrying out CIA and Pentagon orders to plan and would buy annuities slaughter the civilians at My Lai hamlet, Song My villiage, South which would come to about 41 Viet Nam, was a 'scab' worker (strike breaker) for the Florida per cent of what would East Coast Railway company in July 1966.

between them and management and no thought could be given to changing any of the demands the company was attempting to insert into the negotiations.

TO FURTHER infuriate the strikers and thereby encourage them to continue the struggle for human dignity and better working conditions at the factory, was the remark supposedly made by Plant Superintendent Kauzlarich: " I f these outsiders would let us alone, we could break this strike in no time because this is nothing but a nigger union."

What Kauzlarich didn't realize was that for once Blacks of Peoria, having suffered through many instances of racial injustices, were prepared to stand united to show racist company officials that Blacks no longer tolerate mistreatment without putting up a fight.

Particularly impressive during the long strike was the

company refused to enter into serious talks with responsible parties.

THE CHAMBERS were packed with strikers and their families anxious to be a part of the great labor spectacle. As the company again listed its demands, the tenseness of the audience could be felt, for they knew from past experiences that the company, feeling it had the workers in a bind, would use all kinds of threats and harassment to bring the workers and union down to their knees and break the strike.

After listing the points of disagreement, the company stated flatly that the terms were non-negotiable and unless the union and strikers "accepted the package in its entirety," the company would "shut down the plant and move elsewhere." The next day the company had full page ads in the morning and evening papers stating dramatically,

Mercenary on two fronts

try to settle the strike.

Vernon Keenan. who later was to become president of the plant, proved to be more intelligent in recognizing the determination of the strikers.

He and Gene Robinson, an attorney and vice president, met with the Black community four times to try to settle the

differences.

The men were so impressed with the fortitude of the strikers and the attitude of the community, they soon settled the strike. And they dismissed the chief trouble maker Kauzlarich!

IT TOOK ten months to settle the strike but the struggle was worthwhile. The company dropped all its demands. All discharged and disciplined workers were reinstated. The cost of living was added to the workers' wages and those who became eligible for pension were to receive the full pension to which they were entitled.

The widow of Lee Arthur Meeks received her husband's life insurance.

When the gates to the factory swung open, the first man to enter the plant premises was Robert Reddick, completely reinstated with all the back pay due him from the time of his discharge. Accompanying him was International Representative Florence Criley who had been with the strikers in an advisory capacity during the entire time of the strike.

Reddick, grinning from ear to ear, stated, " I f Peoria Blacks take this success and use it properly, understanding the significance of the victory, they can take their strength back to the community and force other phanges that are so badly needed in Peoria."

Black actors cheated, Black history distorted in Poitier-Belafonte film

By Henry C. Jackson I I I (M.S. Latin American Correspondent) DURANGO. Mexico—They're calling the $2 million dollar film production. Buck and the Preacher, co-starring coproducers Harry Belafonte and Sidney Poitier. who is also the director, the "first Black major western."

LIKE INCREASING numbers of Hollywood financed westerns, it is being shot in the foothills of the Mexican State of Durango, where land is another word for sheer beauty and productions costs cheaper by far than state side locations.

To the layman's eye. it appears this production is saving money for days.

Perhaps only the front office knows what the more than 60 poor Taramahan Indians are getting. But Black Cubans and Black North American students. residents and retirees—hired as extras from Mexico City, Guadalajara and Torreon—are earning $96 for a 62 and a half hour week, meals and shared hotel rooms, hundreds of miles from home.

Initially, they were offered about $10 a day. Some who refused it claimed they were told Indians could always be painted black if the Blacks didn't want to accept the going rate. But the pay was raised after a delegation complained to the Mexican film actors union.

Black North Americans hired and shipped down from El Paso, Texas say they are being paid $113 weekly. Those from Los Angeles, depending upon their action or lines if any, are believed to making more. One white North American girl who

lives in Mexico claims to have a contract for $500 a week.

Cast as a prostitute, she has no lines to speak.

Many in the Black community were estactic when they learned the picture would be made here. Others soon soured. Some were rejected because North American whites and Mexicans making the selections for the cast decided they did not look "negroid" enough.

Said one Black US woman reject: "I've been black enough to be discriminated against in the United States all my life, but I'm not black enough for this picture. How do they think I got this way? My great grandfather sure wasn't putting his shoes under the bed of that white lady up in the big house. Who but a d--- fool don't know the white man's lust for Black slave women got us looking like we look today.

They had slaves of all different shades, features, eye colors and hair textures. Besides Sidney and Harry are West Indians anyhow.' '"My kids love Sidney Poitier." says a rejected Black father. "He's their hero. I'd been willing to be in a picture with Poitier for nothing, you know? Now what am I going to tell my children? How can I explain 0 " A Black writer said: " I f I gotta accept slave wages to be in a picture about Black people being free and fighting for their place in the sun, then to h-- with it! It don't make sense.

The tail of history is wagging the present. The stars and people reaping the profits aren't making no sacrifice, you can bet. They'll be looked up to as pioneers doing something for 'our people.' and making a

contribution.' Then the Urban League, the NAACP or one of those middle-class sororities will give them an award. We can't let them get away with that kind of s— anymore. If they're going to claim the label of Black artists, then let them live up to their responsibilities, if not. let them call themselves what they are. exploiting Black capitalists, and forget it."

THE STORY is about freed Louisiana slaves in an all Black wagon train moving west to make a new life on new land. Their former masters hire a band of scruffy cutthroat whites to harrass their journey and to intimidate them into returning to work on the plantations where they had been slaves.

Director Poitier says he finds his new job of directing "tiring. exhilerating and challenging." Said he: "I've been acting for more than 22 years. And I'm ready to quit and direct films. We have many fine young actors now.

Of Black audiences who will see the picture perhaps by the end of the year, Poitier says: "I hope to show them themselves and have them leave the theater a tiny bit more pleased with themselves and in fact liking themselves much more than when they went in. I want them to know that it is being made with them very much in mind."

Black PR man Walter Burrel, who refused to provide any still shots of the movie on location because he has an exclusive in return for a cover and story, says one of the great things about the picture is the work being given on an unprecedented scale to minority peoples.

ALTHOUGH FILM about Black migration westward is described as first major Black western, actors Sidney Poitier (also director) and Harry Belafonte (right) are sharply criticized for not preventing white producers from cheating Black American actors from USA, Mexico and Cuba nor from portraying the whole Christianizing experience as part of the cultural aggression against Black people.

Using largely Mexican technicians, the picture, Burrell says has six trainee internes: Black assistant editors Jim Morris and J.C. Stark, Black director trainees Drake Walker and Chris Kaiser, one Mexican-US American girl and an American Indian.

Virtually every star on the picture speaks of Poitiers talent as a director. The consensus seems to be that as an actor he knows an actor problems. And they say he should have been directing long ago, and that because he

Casern.

By Calvin Williams (Special to Muhammad Speaks) AUGSBURG, W. GermanyRace relations in this perennially troubled Bavarian garrison city are once again approaching the flash point, frustrated Blacks warn.

Subdued since the Hohenfels fragging tragedy last year, passions are flaring anewspurred by what brothers describe as "race prejudice, pure and simple." • BLACK ANGER is currently focused on the 1st Inf. Div. (Fwd) at Sheridan Casern and specifically on that unit's 212 elimination policies.

"It's incredible," charged one Black GI, "but it seems that anyone the brass doesn't like they boot — and most of them seem to be Black."

Official statistics show that 47 soldiers were kicked out of the 1st Inf. Div. via the 212 route during 1970.

"We do not have the Black/white breakdown on those figures," maintained an Army Spokesman.

Investigation, however, revealed that 17 (or about 36 percent) of the 47 men 212ed last year were Black. Since official estimates say Blacks account for less than 15

percent of the total 1st Inf. Div. troop strength, this means that more than twice as many brothers are being 212ed as should be. "We are legally persecuted," claimed one.

Of the 22 men given 212 board eliminations so far this year, five were Black — approximately 23 percent of the total.

One Black soldier recently approved for elimination is Pvt. Alonzo B. Benning of Hq. Co., 1st Bn., 16th Inf. Benning is an 18 -year- old draftee from Detroit who has received two Articles 15 for minor AWOLs during 22 months of otherwise unblemished service.

"I don't want this elimination," Benning said. " I told a board of officers that and fought the discharge, but they're kicking me out anyway. Why I don't know."

ALTHOUGH ARMY rules don't specify how many infractions are necessary to qualify for a 212, it is considered highly unusual to eliminate a soldier whose only offenses were two

Francis, Texas born, has two small children, a wife who has a serious heart condition, and an elderly mother hospitalized— all depending upon the small amount of money sent home by him via the family allotment.

Francis stated that in no way could he accept a 212 discharge with no benefits after having served his country honorably.

Somehow this public gesture, which involves raising Francis and was asked what a closed fist or thumping it on would be his chances of getting the chest, annoys hell out of an even break if he should turn Army brass here and they have himself into the Military gone to great lengths in a futile Police—that he really did not want to accept a 212 discharge effort to stamp it out. and that the actions against "This policy is necessary him and the other soldiers because the type action should be dropped since the referred to disturbs the rights man responsible for starting of others to participate in the the riot had been discharged event for which they came, or from the army (honorably.) to eat in comfort or peace, or This reporter strongly urged to be secure in their own Francis to turn himself into peaceful endeavors," said the the Militarydivision spokesman.

If the soldiers desired to go to another country and were merely in transit that the GDR would not hinder them.

As to whether these particular soldiers have entered East Berlin no comment was made.

In West Berlin after further research it seems that a rash of AWOL soldiers (Black) has broken out all over the place and the authorities are silent about the matter One hope for the Black soldier was Major Lawrence Hurst, deputy with the Inspector General's Office, due to his attempt to help the Blacks (and being Black himself).

The Corinth, Miss., noncom is currently facing between 10 and 15 (it varies almost daily) court martial charges ranging from traffic offenses to participating in an outlawed "power check."

Jackson, a married, 25 -yearold Viet Nam vet and emerging Black spokesman, was charged on his first day back at duty after a quote from him on the Augusburg racial situation appeared in the Newsweek issue of last November 9.

"Some of the offenses date way back to August, 1970,"

"They told ns they didn't want us there," said Sp4 Herman Jacobs of Hq. Co., 3d Bn., 63d Armor. "They wouldn't let us talk to the IG or anything— we didn't even lay out. They just told us to take the day off and step." * 3d Bn, 63d Armor CO Lt. Col. Conrad J. Grzybowski allegedly told a battalion formation that Black soldiers were not to hold any meetings or gatherings in the mess hall.

Subsequent interpretation of that edict. Blacks claim, has been that no Black troops may sit together in the mess hall at all. No single reg. prevents whites from sitting together.

Grzybowski refused to discuss anything with this reporter. * VICIOUSLY anti-Black graffiti (wall drawings) KKK legends, white power slogans, etc., covered many latrine walls until just recently, Black soldiers claim, despite repeated requests for paint to cover them up.

There is good reason for this from the point of view of the colonialist powers on both sides of the Atlantic. The French government finds itself increasingly threatened by the rising number of Black immigrants who come to Paris seeking better living conditions and employment.

They come to escape the foul conditions imposed on them by French businessmen and government officials and thousands of French soldiers in the so-called French West

They also come from the socalled Overseas Territories of France: French Poloynesia; French Somalia, ComoroArchipelago; Saint-Pierre and Miquelon; the Southern and Antarctic Territories, and the Islands of Walles and Futuna.

In addition, they come as students and laborers from Former French Colonies of West Africa, where French businessmen, laborers and government officials still play an extensive role in African economic and political life.

Those include the Central African Republic; Republic of Gabon, Madagascar, the Republic of Senegal, and the Republic of Chad. The three former French colonies which defy France today are Algeria, Guinea, and the Peoples Republic of the Congo (Brazzaville).

THE QUESTION arises: what brought about the i m migration of Blacks to France? and what is the condition of Blacks in the French colonies and in France? Muhammad Speaks asked these and other questions of a number of Blacks living here including students and workers from Africa and the French West Indies. They included an official from the Algerian Workers organization in France, immigrants from Martinique and Guadeloupe,

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — You can come to Africa to hunt animals, beat your way through real jungles or to see primitive people. But, surprise of all surprises, you also can come to one of the liveliest places on Earth.

and Joey Fanon the elder brother of Frantz Fanon, the famed writer, psychiatrist, and freedom fighter.

HISTORY OF FRENCH EXPANSION French Colonialism in the West Indies parallels the colonialism in North America by the British, Spanish and French.

The original population of Indians in both places were exterminated before and during the African slave trade which repopulated the West Indies and the southern portion of what is now called the US. Martinique, for example, was colonized in 1635 by the French and they remained its number one oppressor with the brief exceptions during the Seven Years War, 11762-1763) and the French Revolution (1794-1802) when it was under British colonialism. According to the Statesman's Yearbook, the population in 1967 was 320.000.

Guadeloupe fell victim to the French bandits in 1635. The British stole it from France in 1759-63,1794, and again in 18101816.

One of the nearby Islands, St. Martin was fought over by the French and the Dutch resulting in a standoff and an agreement between the two thieves in 1648 when the Island was divided. France snatched the largest share (two thirds.) The Dutch were left with one-third. Total population in the several Islands of Guadeloupe in 1967 was 312,724.

PARIS—Although the French and US Governments quarrel in their competition to rob the peoples of the world, the two gangsters stand in a brotherly embrace when they are confronted with the movement of Black unity and Black liberation.

THE MOST recent example of this complicity was the refusal by the French Government to allow Mrs. Kathleen Cleaver to enter the country after her arrival at the Orly airport of Paris.

However, history shows that this situation is not new, but merelv the continuation of colonial policy to unite against threats to disrupt that worldwide system of oppression.

THE BLACKS IN FRANCE COME FROM MANY CONTINENTS

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS. Saturdaj-Sunday, March 13-14. 1971

When it conies to youthful action, you hardly can top Abidjan.

'1 can't believe my eyes," said a man who last visited Ivory Coast 25 years ago.

"This place was an overgrown native village. Now look!"

In the quarter of a century Abidjan has grown from a village of about 10,000 to a modem city of 450,000. It's a city full of surprises that can catch a traveler off balance.

ABIDJAN is where: • Modem buildings, including skyscrapers, ring a lovely lagoon to form one of the most beautiful city centers on any continent.

• Nightclubs abound and young black men pertorm the limbo with so much vigor you'd think they bad just invented it.

• Fashionable restaurants olfer superb cuisine, a tradition dating back to this country's years as a French colony.

• Luxury, is so commonplace that nobody is too shocked over the fact that the Hotel Ivoire has an indoor ice skating rink (not to mention a series of pools, a movie theater, golf course, bowling alley, supermarket and a penthouse restaurant, i • Women are so sophisticated,lhat they wear without cowering the most daring of evenin; gowns, gowns that cau-e Chicago women io smuggle rhemarhes ,round behind 'oldi

• Wealthy persons of all colors mingle socially with ease.

DAYS AND NIGHTS are filled with groovy beauty here.

Morning comes and the air is soft and spiced with the aroma of banana and pineapple and fresh cut mahogany. In the hotel swimming pool kids black and white play together so easily that they can even fight with one another and nobody cares.

At midmorning on a near-empty beach, a pretty French girl with unbelievably long legs and a dab of a swimsuit runs along. Her two companions are a pair of black kids about 12.

Just before lunch, waiters prepare tables on a terrace overlooking a huge swimming pool and you can pick a table in the summer sun or in the shade.

AFTERNOONS? WHY not water ski on the lagoon or spend the afternoon in a bull session (in French) with the college kids who show up at the bowling alley?

You say you want more action? Try deepsea fishing in waters that produce a greater variety of fish than almost any in the world.

You can have a cocktail late in the afternoon. But most people don't begin serious drinking and eating until a much more fashionable hour, say 9 p.m.

Then dinner becomes an event in Le Toit d' Abidjan, a restaurant 30 floors above the city w here you can dance and talk, drink and talk, eat and talk until I I or so.

NOW, ALTHOUGH it never gets chilly, the air cools and you can go bobbing through nightclubs or warm your heart in a gambling casino so fashionable that it doesn't bother with one-armed bandits except to satisfy American tourists. ' ^ . " " S o now the evening has become the late t ' night and the late night has turned into the ' early morning and you wonder about it all.

RECENT TRAVEL article in Chicago newspaper shows purposes behind land-grab of French, US, British, West German and other super-profiteers. Lands of Black people are plundered of their wealth and invaded by surplus labor force of white nations.

Meanwhile the idle super-rich move in to supervise their monopolies and to degrade Black nations into pleasure resorts whose original people are deformed into songsters, landless peasants, cheap labor, athletes, prostitutes and 'rfvrldle men' for rich whites. Gradual wiping out of masses of original people is principle part of this policy.

French pirates. The Island is located about 42C miles east of Madagascar, and as of 1969 had a population of 430,000 according to the above source.

The peoples of Guiana (French) were subjected to a penal colony for habitual criminals from France between 1854 and 1938. It has a population of more than 24,000 descendants of Indians and Africans.

THE EXPANSION of France into the islands of the sea, and into Africa gave poor whites

from France the opportunity to leave Europe's lower class and become representatives of French colonialism abroad. In the colonies, these poor whites became the slave masters, the adventurous businessmen, the military officers over Black troops and the well - paid of the French Civil Service.

For three - hundred years the French prospered and continue to do so off the blood of Black labor. It was only ( C o n t i n u e d on page 20)

By Charles Simmons PARIS—When his younger brother Frantz Fanon was involved in the Algerian struggle, Joey Fanon was in Martinique involved in the beginning of their struggle to give consciousness to people in the struggle for liberation and autonomy. Says Fanon, "It was not possible in that time to struggle for independence because we were few and the government of France would have crushed us."

FANON WAS forbidden residence in Martinique in 1961 because the organization for autonomy in the West Indies was banned by the French Government.

Comparing the present situation in the West Indies to ten years ago, Joey Fanon says the "possibilities for struggle are now greater.''

Revolutionaries began moving more and more, he said, and

We want to create a united front of Blacks living here to support all the Black community living in the US without differentiating politically or ideologically in the Black organizations. But we need a continuous supply of information about your situation.

The French government and the US government have a conspiracy to keep the French public ignorant about the true conditions of Blacks living in the US. They show Blacks in violent acts against property or people, but never explain anything from the Black point of view.

Despite claims to the contrary, current negotiations and plans of oil companies in the Mid - East, Alaska, Southeast Asia and South America and the South Pacific prove that oil is at least as big a factor in US foreign policy as it ev er was.

BUT IT IS NOT just oil which has this influence. The activity of monopolies in other large industries has reached a point where domestic as well as foreign policies are directly controlled by monopoly and bank board members rather than by elected officials and statesmen.

The world has changed and is changing.

The big corporations and banking outfits are now multinational instead of national.

For example, Standard Oil Co. (New Jersey) has at least 50 percent of its operations in foreign countries. Eighty of the top 200 US corporations have AT L E A S T one - fourth of sales, earnings, assets or employees in foreign - based operations.

Commerce was predominantly national only a few decades ago. In fact most modern 'nation states' (legally established and recognized territorial governing units) arose to develop, protect and expand the national or 'home' markets of the then young industrial capitalist enterprises.

Today, reports Yale University economist Stephen Hymer, 'Some 3,400 US companies have built a stake in around 23,000 businesses abroad.'

Since 1955 direct US business investment abroad has jumped from $19 billion to more than $65 billion.

name before geographical divisions i s " 'Asia' — armed with this understanding, as are the followers of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the people of the world could no longer be tricked into putting the interests of plunderers inside their legal nations over the true common, multinational interests of their brothers and sisters throughout the world.

That is why the press and politicians talk of 'American citizenship,' and the 'American government' even though these are false and non - legal terms.

'United States citizenship' is the only correct and legal term, as Cubans, Brazilians, Mexicans and other Americans are quick to tell a 'Yankee.'

WHY DO T H E current white and off white (The Japanese accept the label 'white' from white racists in South Africa and elsewhere) rulers go to this trouble to conceal the true multinational character of civilizations and their political economies?

A m e r i c a ! opens under our feet.

Rich whites who own the oil monopolies and conglomerates and other huge enterprises don't want US citizens, especially Black citizens, to notice the multinational character of the economy.

So Black 'leaders' and 'revolutionaries' who discourage research into commercial activity get plenty of attention and jobs in the news media, universities, publishing houses and community organizations.

B Y CONTROLLING the movie, T V , press, publishing and other communications industries, the giant enterprises brainwash the public to think that its 'national security' and 'national interest' are confined within the boundaries of the United States.

In fact, by incorrectly substituting the term 'American' for 'United States' the clever tricknologists have prevented the public from realizing that the word 'American' rightfully applies to all the people in the three American continental regions — North, Central and South — rather than to the predominately white European North Americans in the United States, as present usage of the word implies.

This is no accident. A correct usage of the term 'American' would make it clear to all that the majority of Americans are of Black - Asiatic heritage.

That is why all mass media and schools have stopped using the term 'American' in the same way that the continental terms 'European' and 'Asian' and 'African' are used.

The answer is simple: to cheat, rob and destroy Black people, to rob them of knowledge of their history, to place them beneath white racists and opportunists at all levels of life.

This is why the use of the term 'Black' as introduced by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad frightens not only those with the lightest skins but also all of those who are puffed up with false pride at having skin color, features, hair texture and so forth which are shown favor, to some degree or other, by white racists.

T H E M E S S E N G E R ' S use of the term 'Black' is an antidote to this poisonous doctrine of white European superiority — a false doctrine perfected by the false scientists of nazi Germanv and K K K USA. Armed with an understanding of the past unity of Black people as the Original People of the planet and with a realistic vision of the reunification of all peoples who proudly admit that they are part of the one true human race which began in a massive continent whose oldest known

Plants are closed down. Plants are moved both inside the USA and to foreign lands. South Koreans are making machines for 17 cents an hour where US workers made $4.00 an hour.

Cheaper commodities are barred from entry to this and other countries so the 'home' market has no choice but to buy at the higher price.

These and other actions of the politicians whose administration is in Wall Street are exposing many false doctrines and the attitudes they created.

IN T H E B I T T E R W A R F A R E among the forces of cut - throat competition and commercial anarchy, the Black man and woman see the inevitable doom of such a devilish system of conflict.

And they see that this doom is hastened by their own unity first in their present countries (because even a history of crime, which the existence of many current countrys represents, still leaves a material print) and then from country to country, so that those who want freedom, justice, equality, progress, decency and peace can unite to build that better life most of us want and all our children need.

The Master

By Shirley Hazziez AS IT IS WRITTEN in the Bible, "Look and see, they all come to thee;" referring to the rise of the mentally dead Black People in North America and their submitting to Allah through our Leader. Teacher, and Guide, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

PROOF OF THIS prophecy was demonstrated on the 26th of February, 1971, which is Saviour's Day — your day and my day. A day for you and me to rejoice because with the Coming of Allah and His Raising up the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad as a guide for you and me, marks the beginning of a new life for you and me; a heaven while we live.

HEAVEN! That is where peace and harmony resides, and we found Heaven on Saviour's Day at the Coliseum where Muslims and Black Brothers and Sisters from all over the nation met and rejoiced and praised Almighty Allah, Who Came in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are due forever.

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL to be there and to see so many Black Brothers and Sisters meet together in peace with no disputing, or disagreements, but all agreeing and seeking to

THE SHINING FACES of the beautiful Sisters. both registered Muslims and unregistered Muslims expressed a general happiness to be brought together for one common cause — to receive Allah's Message through His last and greatest Messenger, The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

THERE IS NO DOUBT that His Message was well received by the thunder of applause, smiling faces, and the nodding heads of the audience. I was pleased and thankful to Allah to see so many of our lost found Sisters agreeing and accepting our leader's message from* Allah to us. I was seated dii^ctly in front of their section and could see that they were well taken with what thev heard.

"THE OPERATION OF A NATION," that was Messenger Muhammad's subject and the crowd showed through their faces and their undivided attention, that they wanted to know from Messenger Muhammad how to go about operating on themselves to rid themselves of the germ that has attacked our body and is destroving us.

By Bob Dale (Special to Muhammad Speaks) PHOENIX, Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;White policemen are never off duty, when it comes to brutalizing Black people. That is a task they perform whenever they get the chance.

A GOOD example of their viciousness towards Blacks involves a sixteen year old Black girl, who decided to shop downtown on her way home from school. The young woman, Mary Hickerson. was attacked by a Newberry Department Store Security Guard who during regular hours is employed as a Phoenix Police officer. This occurred on January 22,1971.

The story is just now being told because Mrs. Perkins.

Mary's mother, had planned to initiate some type of legal action against the store or the police department.

For various reasons this was never done. The police department is now bringing charges against Miss Hickerson.

One of the charges states that Miss Hickerson "committed aggravated assault and battery" against the policeman. James Watson!!!!

Of course this action is being taken because they do not want Mrs. Perkins to sue them.

The following is a report of what happened in Miss Hickersons" own words: "My name is Mary Hickerson. I am telling about an incident that happened on Friday. January 22. 1971. The action started at Newberry's Department Store, on First Avenue and Washington, in Phoenix, Arizona.

"My girl friend. Gloria Turner, and I walked into the Newberry Store, and went over and started looking at the earrings. When we looked up. we saw a man dressed in green.

"THE MAN walked up to my friend, Gloria, and bumped into her. The man asked, 'May I help, you?' I said, 'No, we don't need your help' The man then said. 'Well, get your d--out of the store.' So Gloria

"When he took me downstairs he took me to this little room where he threw me on the chair and asked if I had ever been to the juvenile home. I said no and he said. Well, you're going this time.' He then went to call the police.

When the policeman came down he told the guard that he could not hold me because I wasn't a criminal and had not stolen anything.

"He then said. 'Well, I want something done.'

The policeman said, 'All you can do is write up a report.' The policemen then left. He kept me down there for about thirty (30) minutes and then let me go. " I WENT D called my mother. She came down there and asked him why he did it.

He told my mother that I DESERVED IT and after that we left. When we walked out of the store he walked behind us and told my mother that I wasn't allowed back into the store."

pulled me and said, 'Let's leave.' We then walked out of the store.

"The man followed us out the door and down the street. The man then pointed his finger in our faces and told us never to bring our a back in the store. At this time he grabbed me by my arms: at this same time I told him we could come in the store any time we got ready to and he said he was taking me in for vile language.

"Gloria, tried to help me and another white man with a cast on his neck came out and held Gloria, while the guard held me. He dragged me into the store by my neck and threw me on the floor. I was tussling, trying to get loose and the man with the cast on his neck helped him to hold me.

"At this time I passed out for a minute. When I came to I was throwing up blood. He then put the handcuffs on me. Again he dragged me by the neck and took me downstairs. My feet DID NOT touch the floor. I was trying to yell for help, but he

A hearing to determine Miss Hickerson's "guilt" or innocence will be held in the Maricopa County Juvenile Court on April 2nd at 9:00 a.m.

The Black community will demand an explanation from the city's highest official.

Mayor John Driggs. These questions must be answered: What did the policeman mean when he told Mrs. Perkins that her daughter "deserved to be attacked?" Would the officer have used the same degree and amount of force with a white woman? Why does the Phoenix Police Department always allow their policemen to investigate other officers' actions in these type of cases?

Only a strong protest from the entire Black community, including ministers, educators, civic and social organizations, will insure that the charges against Miss Hickerson are dropped. Letters should be sent to: Mayor John Driggs 251 West Washington Phoenix, Arizona 85003

They say Africans and Afro-West Indians are uniting for complete independence from France. In response to movement racist policies of French government are increasing. (MS photo: Charles Simmons) However, while conditions of Blacks improved very little, if any, France continued to rob the Blacks of their labor at extremely cheap costs; It stole their local resources of sugar, fruit, and other plants; and it used Blacks forcibly in the French army to oppress other Blacks around the world. It continues to do so.

Meanwhile, France had successfully unburdened itself of a large portion of its poor whites by unloading them in the colonies. At the same time it used them to maintain control of its new-found wealth from Black labor and blood.

with a slow population growth rate in France has today created a labor shortage in French production labor, construction, and service work particularly in Paris and its suburbs which are already overpopulated.

These statistics do not include the French living in the West Indies or the other islands colonies.

The labor shortage in France is being met by Blacks from Africa and the colonies where whites often have the best jobs and massive unemployment of Blacks exists in many cases.

The French Government (like the US Government) says the cause of the problems in the Colonies is that Blacks "have too many babies and don't like to work." The French solution to the problem of massive unemployment in the West Indies is to decrease the birth rate while increasing the number of soldiers from France, since they no longer trust the Black soldiers drafted into the French Army.

They also have attempted to implement a French form of the Poverty program to recruit Blacks into non- productive or obsolete jobs.

In an interview with Joey Fanon. Muhammad Speaks was told that the number of French Troops in Martinique alone has increased over the

t

past few years. He says the number is now over 5,000 troops to maintain 'law and order.' "This is their effort to dampen the increase of Black rebellion in the Islands."

Many Black troops drafted by the French government have rebelled so much that the French government now forces them to serve in France rather than in their homelands.

An example of the rebellion was during the Algerian liberation war against France when Blacks from the colonies were drafted to fight against Algerians.

Many refused to fight their Algerian brothers, and some switched sides and joined the Algerian liberation forces. So today, French soldiers are policing the colonies more and more.

At the present time, says Mr. Fanon. Blacks from the French West Indies are organizing to become autonomous from France. One of their leaders is the famed Black poet Aime Cesaire who has been a member of Parliament since 1946 representing Martinique.

He was there as a participant in the US Government-and Ford Foundation-sponsored AfricanAmerican Institute dialogues.

The White House sent an Air Force plane to bring Young's body back to the United States.

Funeral services were held here March 16.

IT WAS A WEEK before Young's death that this MUHAMMAD SPEAKS correspondent talked with the N." U. L.'s top man at an informal dinner meeting of Black Perspective, an organization of local Black journalists. On that occasion I asked Whitney — as he preferred to be called - about his recent conference with President Richard Nixon and how was he able to speak with the country's chief executive while Black Congressional Caucas had been unable to do so.

In his normally calm manner, Whitney replied directly to the question. He and the League— which was more representative of his philosophy and thinking than it was of any previous director in its 60 years of existence— were most upset over the lack of federal monies for social service projects. Whitney requested an

REALITIES OF POWER

By Whitney Young ATLANTA— Our Meeting together here in Atlanta is important, both in its substance and its symbolism; for I would hope by our very presence, in spite of shades of differences which may appear in our backgrounds, even in our ideologies, that we are saying loud and clear for the whole world to hear that we are tnrough publicly bickering among ourselves for the entertainment of other folks— that instead, we are moving toward a new unity based on those things we have in common and our desire not just to survive, but to survive with equity and

dignity for ourselves and for our children.

No more than this do we seek — but with no less will we be satisfied.

I am particularly pleased that we are joined in this conference by some of our African brothers and sisters who can share with us accurate and first hand accounts of their problems and their opportunities — and most important, how they perceive the way in which Black Americans can be most helpful in their struggle to overcome generations of exploitative colonialism and imperialism. Here, in this conference, if we permit ourselves a minimum of arrogance and a maximum of humility we can all learn from each other. No one among us has a monopoly on wisdom. By sharing collectively from our background of actual experiences we can take a major step toward unity in objectives — and perhaps even in methods. I am confident that we can reflect a maturity that tolerates differences of opinion and that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable.

Because this is an international conference I anticipate much will be said about the continuing plight of Black citizens in America; and for those who will read and hear of these remarks and will retort with a certain degree of accuracy that however bad our plight is here, Black Americans are still far better off here than anywhere else in the world, I feel an important clarification is in order: This is a claim that can be made with equal accuracy for all other ethnic groups in AMERICA— most of whom have been here a much shorter time

America promised more to its citizens. America was born and created as a haven for the oppressed, "the tired, the poor, the lonely hearts longing to breathe free." Its Declaration of Independence, its Bill of Rights, its Constitution and all of its slogans rationalizing wars are filled with claims and cries of Justice Freedom - Liberty - Equality.

America promised to be the "melting pot" of the world.

Young said to this MS reporter at the Black perspective meeting was that I should read his speech to the Congress of African Peoples Conference, made in Atlanta, Ga. last September 5. He said that this address was an important one and that he was sure that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad would agree with much of what he said. Major excerpts from that speech, entitled Realities of Power," appear elsewhere in this issue of MUHAMMAD SPEAKS.

Young

tragedy of America is that more than any other country it has. in fact, both in natural resources and manpower, the opportunity to live up to its promise. What it has lacked up to now is the morality, the vision and the courage of its leadership to achieve that objective.

Conclusion: The acquisition of power through economic means by African Peoples of the World is essential and crucial to our basic objectives, but it will be achieved only through careful, analytical and unemotional planning and cooperation over a period of many years. It will, to any elementary student of economics, have to concern itself with institutions outside of the Black community, as well as those within. For, as example, if all the businesses in Harlem (America's largest Black community) were owned and operated by Black people, it would meet less than one-fifth of the employment and economic needs of its people. The Black community must aspire for power through investments and policy positions in management of the economic institutions which dominate America and greatly affect the social and economic development of African people the world over, as well as seek control over its own local institutions.

For a historically economically disadvantaged people.

this will enhance, if not require collective and cooperative action, as well as individual effort. Formation of cooperatives and credit unions, which have been used effectively by other ethnic groups, labor unions, and the like, must be pursued and implemented. The rather successful efforts of the Black Muslims in Chicago is one example of such cooperative effort. To assume that the needed economic development can take place for Black people any more than it has for whites without major government subsidies, public capital and private transfers, is to reflect economic naivete and to invite economic disaster. We must support legislation at all levels toward this end, whether or not initially it is labeled socialistic by its critics.

This would include supporting an updated Urban League Domestic Marshall Plan, now being developed, and the A. Philip Randolph Freedom Budget. We must not shy away from terms such as reparation, indemnification, preferential treatment, etc.— but rather put them in their proper and just context.

Brain Power ultimately is the resource upon which the success of any strategy depends. It is even more crucial for a minority. What we lack in quantity we must make up for in quality.

Libya, Algeria hike output ACCORDING TO NEWS reports both Libya and Algeria are diligently preparing to exact an increase of 60 cents a barrel for their oil.

The 60 cents would be applied primarily to oil delivered at Mediterranean ports.

This increase is 25 cents above what western oil monopolies recently agreed to pay six Persian Gulf companies for their oil.

The Libya - Algeria move is interpreted as a direct challenge to western oil monopolies which had hoped that the two countries would follow the course of the six Persian Gulf companies.

Already oil company negotiators have met among themselves to devise their imperialist strategy to meet demands of four more Arab countries wTho deliver oil to the Mid -East.

Algeria has even announced that it is ready to produce its own oil if the oil companies do not cooperate with the price rise.

On Science & Medicine

Fasting -beneficial

Scientists (Special to Muhammad Speaks)

CHICAGOâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; "Since those first days in Eden, Man has been accused of despoiling Nature, of ravaging her physical wonders, of spurning her spiritual gifts. I , for one, repudiate these charges. With failing health I can but dwell on Nature's far cruder crimes against man. What, if not mortal injury, is this natural phenomenon we call aging?

And what, if not the final slur, the supreme insult, is this

confirm

Messenger's

natural thing we call death?

Will Man, armed with the guns of science, never strike back?"

So asks Dr. Gunnar Belding.

dietary

It is estimated that the National Institute of Health is now spending nearly $50 million annually on hundreds of research projects concerned with death and aging. In the United States alone there are some 1500 research teams whose mission can only be described as all - out war on death.

The will not only to live but to live endlessly today galvanizes the scientific community that only a few years ago exhibited nothing but contempt for the supposedly ' fictionalist" idea of life - everlasting while Messenger Muhammad has FASTING FOR suggested in How to Eat to IMMORTALITY? Not at all Live that we should live a out of the question, say thousand years. gerontologists (specialists in

teachings

aging) who for years have been pondering the now famous experiments of Dr. C M .

McCay at Cornell University.

Dr. McCay took two groups of rats, all the same age. and placed them on different diets.

One group was fed on a regimen that, while not excessive, insured a maximum growth rate. The other group was given a skimpy bill - of fare guaranteed to minimize growth rate. Astoundingly. the "underprivileged" rats lived twice as long as the well - fed brethren.

This approach has been. followed up by a Chicago research team, which was able to extend the lives of rats 20

per cent simply by forcing them to fast every third day.

One of these researchers was so impressed that he began fasting himself. It is certain now that long - range experiments will shortly be conducted with humans.

Dr. Bjorksten theorizes that fasting prolongs life because it diminishes the consumption of "age - pigment" molecules that interfere with cell functions. Others believe that fasting simply delays maturation and extends the length of the pre - adult period.

Further research on this subject will be presented in future M.S. articles.

Prevention: dentistry's new

By Dr. Leo PX McCallum Chicago, 111.

JL

\1L-

HOUSING SHORTAGE has forced the N e w York City Welfare Dept. to house welfare families in downtown hotels, much to the anger of many people. Above Mrs. Emma Lee and four of her six children w h o have been on welfare for seven months, are shown in their quarters in the Broadway Central Hotel. Mrs. Richard Nixon, wife of the President, w a s appalled' at the thought of a welfare recipient having spent the night in the same hotel where she w a s staying last month. She said that certainly the Welfare Dept. could find some other place for housing them. Big businessmen, however, stay in hotels at tax payers' expense through tax write-offs '

Modern dentistry, regular dental attention, together with a cooperative attitude on the part of the patient throughout life are the answers to healthy, attractive and well functioning mouth and teeth. Preventive dentistry can keep your gums firm and your mouth attractive One of the questions I'm most frequently asked is. "Dr., do you put teeth back in the gums?" A few years ago, 99% of the practicing dentists would have to answer, "No." Even today about 85 to 90% would still have to answer, no, but the answer must now be qualified â&#x20AC;˘ with the new knowledge available to us in the fast growing field of implantology.

There are several terms used today to describe the embedding of teeth back in the mouth. Let's define them. The first one is called reimplantation and it usually means that a natural tooth that

look

has been accidentally knocked out or even purposefully removed from a healthy area in the mouth is replaced. This procedure has been done for many years but it is not predictably successful.

If for example, one of the front teeth is knocked out and the entire tooth comes out, root and all, the tooth should be recovered, washed off and placed in a piece of gauze and the patient should see the dentist immediately, certainly in no more than 4 to 5 hours.

The procedure most generally followed by the dentist is called re -implantation.

THE TOOTH is sterilized and the nerve contents removed from it and then the root and pulp portion of the tooth is filled with a root canal filling.

The tooth is then taken and reimplanted into the same socket that it was knocked out of after giving the patient a local anesthetic. The tooth is usually temporarily joined in some fashion of the teeth around it to give it support and the patient is given an antibiotic.

Israel building new concentration camps BEIRUT. Lebanon (LNS) A new Israeli detention camp has been opened in Sinai for detainees from the Gaza Strip, the Israeli paper Al - Anba's reported.

ISRAELI Defense Minister Moshe Dayan explained that the new camp was opened due ' to the escalating resistance and to the exhaustion of prison space in all existing prisons."

Nearly fifty thousand Palestinian Arabs have suffered imprisonment in jails and administrative detention camps since the June.1967 war. according to a well documented Palestine Liberation Organization • PLO> report. The rate of imprisonment is even higher than that in nazi - controlled South Africa.

The International Red Cross has protested the conditions in Israeli prisons a number of times. In one such report, dated Oct. 31, 1968, the IRC says of the Hebron prison that "treatment is savage," and that "a number of prisoners

bore on their bodies scars of torture."

The International Red Cross charges are confirmed by hundreds of eyewitness reports. A group of 27 people deported by Israel earlier this month from the occupied West Bank of Jordan included a man whose leg was amputated by the Israelis and another who had poor eyesight as a result of torture.

One of the deportees reported in the Beirut newspaper. The Daily Star, that the methods of torture used against the Arab "detainees" included electric shocks, dogs, and burning, in addition to ".'psychological torture.''

THE PLO documentary on prisons described the food in the cramped camps as "scanty and composed of boiled potatoes, dry crumbs of bread, and bitter ground fish."

IllinoisInvestigating alleged cases of discrimination against uniformed members of the armed services in off-base housing units and eliminating it where found will be the goal of the Cities of Waukegan and North Chicago and the Great Lakes Naval Base.

IN A RECENT statement Rear Admiral Draper L. Kauffman.

Commandant.

Ninth Naval District and Commander Naval Base Great Lakes, announced that Mayors Robert Sabonjian and Leo F. Kukla have pledged their support to take action against owners of commercial dwellings in The Great Lakes area who are found to be in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1968.

Where proof is available that discrimination is being practiced, particularly if it is directed against uniformed personnel or F e d e r a l employees. Navy officials at Great Lakes will work with the cities for action through established city government procedures. The Navy also will take independent action as necessary with authority passed to Admiral Kauffman by the Departments of Defense and the Navy.

Admiral Kauffman also released today a prepared statement on discrimination in housing to all Great Lakes Naval Base personnel. In it he stated.

"The Navy has declared its unequivocal stand against any form of racial discrimination There are procedures available to eliminate discrimination in offbase housing as far as military personnel are concerned.

"Although most local owners do cooperate fully. I am aware that subtle and sophisticated types of discrimination do exist and I will do everything within my power to eliminate them.

I will take steps to insure that where all Navy families cannot live on an equal, nondiscriminatory basis, no Navy family will be allowed to reside. " I will stand firmly behind and give my fullest support to all minority families suffering from discrimination in obtaining local housing. " I will work closely with the cities of Waukegan and North Chicago so that we may collectively build a climate of mutual understanding and equality."

NAVY AND city officials have learned that some offbase housing units practice subtle forms of discrimination by demanding excessive credit references or by telling minority servicemen that long waiting lists exist when others are getting housing almost immediately. In some cases unusually high security deposits from minority servicemen are demanded.

Some off-base housing agencies are reported to color code requests for housing, one color for white personnel another for minority service men.

The Admiral also has asked Navy personnel who believe they have been discriminated against to request aid to secure their rights as individuals and as citizens. He added, " i t is essential that all hands fully appreciate the importance of this policy to our country."

C o l d warriors WASHINGTON- Even the well -to- do white elite of the United States is cracking under the pressure of domestic economic crises and the guilt of international criminality.

IN THE MEN'S ROOM of a Washington hotel House Democratic leader Hale Boogs (La.) was floored with one punch from Indiana Republican Edward Mitchell.

The two white legislators disargeed about the merits of President Nixon and his administration during dinner conversation.

Seizing on Harriman's efforts to avoid war with the USSR, Weintal replied in effect that Harriman had always been "soft on communism," as the saying goes.

HARRIMAN responded that he was among the first to "warn of Soviet dangers" when the USSR was young and vulnerable in 1917. But a US attack against the USSR failed to topple the people's government led by V. I . Lenin.

T h e M e s s e n g e r of Allah P r e s e n t s

The Muslim

Program

What the Muslims 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 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

justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or territory of our own.

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

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

We know that the above plan for the solution of the Mack 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 so -called Negro throughout the United States.

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

We do not believe that after 400 years of free or nearly free labor, sweat and blood, which has helped America become rich and powerful, that so many thousands of black people should have to subsist on relief, charity or live In poor houses.

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

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

Under such schooling system we believe we will make a better nation of people. The United States government should provide, free, all necessary text books and equipment, schools and college buildings. The Muslim teachers shall be left free to teach and train their people in the way of righteousness, decency and self respect.

10. We believe that intermarriage or race mixing should be

WE BELIEVE in Allah's Prophets and the Scriptures they brought to the people.

5. WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of the dead—not in physical

believe that the so -called Negroes are most in need of mental resurrection: therefore, they will be resurrected first.

Furthermore, we believe we are the people of God's choice, as it has been written, that God would choose the rejected and the despised. We can find no other persons

-The Honorable Elijah Muhammad

PROFILE AND PURPOSE THE FACT THAT ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY is founded by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, through the guidance of Allah, holds bright promise for all young black students. The great urgency and need forced upon Messenger Muhammad to build this center is due to the ignorancy and lack of self knowledge of his people and others, that be thinks will go a long way towards better understanding and relations between the Nations of the earth.

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

MATHEMATICS The science and origin of mathematics.

RELIGION The various origins of religions and why Islam.

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

THIS UNIVERSITY'S IDEAS AND HOPES are to use scholars and scientists of all nationalities. This idea of Messenger Muhammad's of a university of this type is one that all Nations and races would agree with Messenger Muhammad on the necessity of such a center for his people.

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

Messenger Muhammad desires the best doctors obtainable.

THE BASE OF THE TEACHINGS of the University is the knowledge of self and others and self respect and respect for others.

THIS CENTER IS DESIGNED TO house 10,000 (ten thousand) students of girls and boys and middle aged and aged people who want to be educated. It is designed also for a hospital, technology college, and a childrens' hospital and nursery. This would release—says Messenger Muhammad—some of the burdens of the white people's institutions of this kind for our patients But, Messenger Muhammad believes that the white people should aid him, financially, to build such an institution as he and his people are poor and would not be able to do so; or anyone who has sympathy for us to do something for self, throughout the world; we would accept it.

SOME OF THE COURSES of Messenger Muhammad for the University are as follows:

CHRONOLOGIC HISTORY (Of self and others) TECHNOLOGY Construction Engineering Civil Engineering Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering

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

SUCH COURSES will be able to aid the black man in a better educational understanding between Nation and Nation.

FURTHER IDEAS OF MESSENGER MUHAMMAD OF AN EDUCATIONAL CENTER FOR HIS PEOPLE: This University, Educational Center, is being designed, not to disgrace Chicago and its people, but to Increase the beauty of Chicago and its people. Messenger Muhammad desires to purchase the last highrlse, where many of his people are now lodging, and then build the drop off to these highrises, that must taper off to taller buildings of this new ground of an Educational Center.

THE TALLEST BUILDING, that is his idea to build on this ground, should taper off from the highrises. There will be no building of Messenger Muhammad's that will reach over seven stories. His greatest desire is to buy the last highrise building, of which the estimated cost is not yet known. He has, however, heard that the owners would sell.

THIS WILL GIVE THE Islamic People one tall building beside Chicago's highrises, so that the drop -off of taller buildings will be shared by both the University of Islam and the now Chicago highrise building.

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

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

THE MONEY TO BE RAISED for this purpose runs beyond $50,000,000.00 (Fifty Million Dollars). And, he is trying, now and hoping with the good promise of financial people of the country, to aid him in doing this work on this site in Chicago and America, which will give better relations for America and the world.

FARMING -Messenger Muhammad is now trying to contact the best agricultural teachers that he can find, that he may be able to produce the better crops, baring food for people, animals, and fowl. One of the greatest programs of Messenger Muhammad is better housing conditions for the Southern Black farmers, which demands quite a bit of money: and to teach the Southern Black People how to respect self and others— to re -educate the South, out of ignorance and into a civilized and decent way of life.

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

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

MESSENGER MUHAMMAD IS DEMANDING MILLIONS of dollars that only powerful, rich financial companies and governments could supply. And, the writer hopes that you will supply Messenger Muhammad with his needs. Messenger Muhammad says that no financial backer of his work could ever lose, for God Himself is behind him and certainly will bless the one who finances him with tremendous success in this life and the Hereafter as well.

MESSENGER MUHAMMAD NEEOS LOANS of several millions of dollars to finance the city programs of Chicago and other cities wherein Islam is suffering for financial aid and throughout the South where he is trying to purchase farm land to raise food for the Black Man and White, if White needs it. He is also teaching the Black People against laziness and to do something for self instead of begging the White Man. SO, HE IS SEEKING FINANCIAL HELP and believes that he can pay on this kind of help under reasonable said terms of the financier.

TO GIVE MESSENGER MUHAMMAD'S AIMS In a few words: It is to better the condition and relationship of the Black Man here in America.

I THANK YOU for reading the ideas and intentions of Messenger Muhammad for an EDUCATIONAL CENTER— as he has given to me here to convey to y o u — on this site.
