V -x jtr CAPETOWN, South Africa — The Nazi-like government of South Africa is being rocked by an increasing wave of sabotage aimed at vital installations and individuals.

The beleaguered government is urging white men to join the police reserves and white women to take out memberships in police-supervised gun clubs for arms training in its desperate effort to strike back at the elusive saboteurs, who recently wrecked the world's largest dynamite factory in Modderfontein with a bundle of its own product.

D u r i n g the same week in Johannesburg, 16 miles from Modderfontein, Supreme C o u r t Judge Simon Kuper was shot in the head and seriously wounded by an unknown sniper. Police said the sniper took advantage of the gathering darkness of evening and fired at the 56-year-old jurist through a window of his home. _ There have been bombs in " mailboxes and telephones booths.

A pro-government newspaper office was a bomb target, and there have been a number of train derailments and the blowing up of powerlines.

T h e viciously - segregationist government blames the mounting sabotage on the African Nationalist underground, "egged on by Communists and other w h i t e agitators and inciters."

Minister of Justice Balthazar Vorster has his hands full trying to allay the growing hysteria of the ruling white minority.

Therefore, a correction must come to them in the way of true understanding of these scriptures in which their history is constantly referred to in the mentioning of the Jews and Christians through the Prophets that were sent to them.

The Orthodox Muslims think this refers to Arabia and that Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah he upon him) of nearly 1400 years ago was the one fulfilling the answer to Abraham's prayers. But if they look at it again and ponder over it, i t is like their belief in thinking that Muhammad of nearly 1400 years ago was a prophet like Moses, that Moses prophesied of in Deut. 18:18. But they forget that Moses was a man who was raised in the house of bondage under a king who held him and his peoplein bondage to him and to his false worship of God and religion. And he desired no one to interfere with his teachings given to his slaves. This was his fear, according to the Holy (Jur- an, that Moses would change the religion.

The Orthodox Muslims think this was fulfilled in the Meccans' opposition against Muhammad. Not so! He does not compare w i t h the prophecy of a man like Moses, for there was no king singled out who opposed Muhammad in Mecca. There was no separation of the Arabs from any slave masters and a destruction of the slave masters. I t was a certain class of people of science.

United Republican Fund of Illinois.

ATTY. TAYLOR rose to the rank of Colonel in the Illinois National Guard and served as aide, personal staff of Illinois Governor William G. Stratton.

He was elected to the Past Grand Exalted Ruler's Council No. 22, Elks of the World, in December, 1961.

An accomplished horseman.

Colonel Taylor, as he is known, once owned a stable of prize riding horses on Chicago's South side. " I rode in many shows and had a stable that I was quite proud of," he said.

His candidacy for U n i t e d States District Judge of the Virgin Islands was unanimously endorsed in 1957 by the Cook County Republican Central Committee and by the Illinois State Central committee and he was found qualified in 1953 and 1957 by the Chicago Bar Association as a prospective candidate for judge of the Circuit court.

He never lost a client to the electric chair, But in 1928, A t t y . Euclid T avlor almost lost his o w n life.

Taylor right now."

Such is the reputation as a criminal lawyer that E u c l i d ; Louis Taylor has built in the 35 years since Granady met death and he narrowly pscaped with his life.

TAYLOR'S N A T I O N A L renown as defender of the undefendable is built on a solid foun-1 dation.

Many of the accused killers j he has successfully represented j had been turned down by other j lawyers who thought their cases j "unwinnable."

Scores of men and women in- i volved in "hopeless" criminal cases have been freed because of Taylor's brilliant defense efforts.

Others have received relatively light sentences in situations where they would have been given the maximum penalty had they had less astute counsel.

JACKSON, MISS.—"My husband is all man. He's everything you've read about and a lot of things you haven't read about."

Mrs. James M e r e d i t h spoke quietly, but with feeling. We were sitting in the student dining area at Jackson State college, where she is a student and which is her husband's alma mater.

,.__ , .

MRS. JAMES MEREDITH holds their son, three-year-old John Howard Meredith, in couple's apartment in Jackson, Miss., where Mrs. Meredith attends Jackson Slate college. John is nicknamed "Dachi," from the Japanese "Tamadochi," meaning friend.

"James has never expressed any fears or apprehensions," said Mary Meredith. " I would almost call him fearless, but of course we all have some fears. He's just never expressed his. Personally speaking, I am not worried about James.

He's capable of getting out of any FACE OF JAMES MEREDITH reflects ordesJ Jhe_endure'* first Negro student to enter previously all-white situation."

The most outspoken X'egro business leader herlT,Tiowever, is Mrs. R. S. Lyells, proprietor of the M L S D r u g Store, which is frequented by Jackson State college students.

WELCOME "Young Negroes in Mississippi are becoming increasingly impatient w i t h the snail-like pace of real progress," declared Mrs. LyelfsT "There is a tide in the affairs of men and they are not going to follow in the paths of their parents."

Mrs. Lyells, who received her master's degree in L i brary Science at the University of Chicago, has traveled throughout the United States and Europe though she has never been to Africa or Asia.

Citing the current struggle for freedom in Africa and Asia, she said: "The rising tide of color in Africa and Asia is a result of the common man becoming aware of himself as a part of "WELCOME TO JACKSON" says highway sign at city limits the human family.

WAS LIKE A COMEDY, most amusing," said former Major General Edwin A . Walker (center) last week. He was referring to the 12 hours o f bloody rioting in which two men were killed that followed the admission o f James Meredith to the University of Mississippi last September. In the picture the retired general smiles and gestures as he is taken into custody

by U.S. marshals on charges of insurrection and rebellion for the part he played in the riots, which he termed more comic than tragic.

Of the freedom riders and sit-ins she remarked that "they are indicative of youth w i l l i n g to pay the price, but these segmented efforts are not an end in themselves.

There is now the need for a man w i t h vision to channel and direct the struggle t o w a r d the ultimate of the ideal society. ."When you have an intermixture of pressure and denial of basic rights and privileges, it causes fermentations which cannot be contained. The time is ripe b e c a u s e oppression has become intolerable. I t is the wave of the future and cannot be held back."

I n Jackson, Capital of the state of Mississippi, and in every other city of America, the time is ripe and long overdue for full rights and freedom for every citizen.

But here, in a city named for General Andrew "Stonew a l l " Jackson, the stone walls of prejudice and repression have hardly begun to crack.

WHITE STUDENTS HOOTED and jeered as James Meredith attended classes during his second week at the University of Mississippi. Meredith told Muhammad Speaks that his entry in Ole Miss was not "a purely educational one" and that he is "interested in solving problems."

J A C K S O N , Miss.—No or citadel of the deep South.

But as I walked, I reme: from a jail by night riders, w I remembered too about Emmett T i l l , the youngster from Chicago who came to this state for a summer vaca• tion and left here horribly mutilated and dead in a pine box for his last t r i p home.

A n d through the stillness I could feel the chill winds of murder and persecution that stalk Mississippi Negroes who are still struggling for freedom and human dignity 100 years after the emancipation proclamation.

Then suddenly standing before me was the man that ''the"" whole state and a general of the army had tried to lynch because he enrolled i n the all-white University of M i s sissippi—a public school supported by taxes from black and white citizens alike.

"Come i n , " s a i d James Meredith, as he swung open the door and ushered me into the neat and plainly furnished apartment.
