The dragon or devil has deceived the world into believing him to be the second person in the godhead, the vicegerent or intercessor of man.

In this way he is able to deceive the people of God, for he offers a religion to the people that he claims to he from God and he includes the true Prophet of God, Jesus, as being the true founders of the religion that he teaches.

The dragon stood b e f o r e the woman of heaven who was clothed w i t h the sun and on her head a crown of twelve stars, and the moon under her feet, which was ready to be delivered, but there stood the dragon ready to devour her child as soon as it was born.

" I don't agree w i t h some ' o f the things Malcolm X preaches and he- doesn't agree with some of the things I preach," said the dynamic lfarlem Congressman who is also a Baptist minister. " B u t one of the things I am very close to agreeing almost completely with is Malcolm X's analysis of our present na ttonal Xegro organizations.

"Unless we can seize completely the administration and policy making of our national Negro organizations, then we must say there is no hope there for us.

And I include the NAACP, Urban League, CORE and S o u t h e r n Christian Leadership Conference under Martin Luther King," Powell commented.

"When I introduced the Powell amendment to stop federal funds from going to segregated schools, the National Board of Directors of the NAACP tried to pass a motion sustaining me and all of the whites on the board opposed it, and they were led by the late Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and the publisher of the WASHINGTON POST, Mrs. Agnes Meyer.

Powell has been walking the streets of Harlem as a leader for 33 years, minister of a church totally owned, maintained and. controlled by Negroes. He has been in Congress for 20 years. " I tell you again and again," he exclaimed, "we are not going to get anything more in this life except that which we fight for and fight for with all our power.

That is the only place where a white man meets him on an equal level."

HE RAPPED white manipulation of so-called Negro colleges.

"Hampton, Tuskegee and Pisk are not ours. The closest Howard University is to us is the fact that it is under me and my committee because it is part of the Federal Government. The Negro state colleges in Florida. Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina aren't ours. All we have got is a few Baptist colleges and a couple of Methodist colleges."

Powell urged Negro social groups "to stop fettering away our future," disclosing that the banquet departments at the Waldorf and Americana hotels would fail without Negro business. The average spent by these Negro groups at a breakfast, luncheon, dinner or dance in tickets alone is $25,000 per event.

"One day down the road we can afford to go downtown and have these big times but right now I believe our Elks. Masons.

Shriners, fraternities, sororities and social clubs should pour their money into tangible things."

He suggested building collective housing for Negroes and pointed to the Federal Housing Act which would extend 100 per cent financing to such projects.

Powell termed Sen. John J. Williams of Delaware as "a chicken piucker," declaring "the chicken pluckers get mad when Negroes give indications of moving in on big money. They don't mind building for us because

j they could get away f r o m ! any kind of hand labor was an evidence of progress. Now. | of course, w i t h the march of technology, the invention of new machines, the automation revolution, Negroes are I beginning to realize they must acquire skills and training because the labor market is no longer buying muscle power. I t is today b u y i n g skill. I t is buying technical competence.

Today when you produce a machine i t is the result of the fact that you had scientists engaged in b a s i c discovery and principles. These principles are applied by engineers who get the cooperation of technical and craft labor.

In other words, these are the fore-forces that are responsible for the production of goods and services in our nation today.

Negroes are not a part, to any considerable extent, of any one of these categories.

They play no part in basic science. They play only a little part as engineers because they haven't had the training and opportunities.

They are not in the expanding field of technical workers and they have been left out even as trade craftsmen because they have not been admitted to apprentice-training programs. Now we have to break through these barriers.

Today doctors, lawyers and teachers are still n e e d e d j among Negroes, but Negroes must now move into the area of basic science, developing engineers a n d technicallyskilled craftsmen w h o are just above the trade craftsmen—the. bricklayer and electrician.

The technical man has t w o years more of college training than the ordinary trade craftsmen. The engineer has full universitv training and

A. PHILIP RANDOLPH lie deals largely in the application of the principles that the scientist discovers. Because of the combination of these forces we produce commodities of America and the world.

Negroes are in a very serious position because if all the Negroes were to drop out 5f~ the United States tonight they would not stop the machinery of production from turning, moving or producing.

Yet, they represent one tenth of the population. Now that is a serious indictment.

Negroes, therefore, have got to become a part of the mainstream of industrial production. But to do this, they must acquire the skills and the training whereby they w i l l be needed to utilize and manipulate this machinery.

This is the problem that faces the Negro, as you spoke about the y o u n g Negroes dropping out of high school and college.

This is a serious question and the only way we are going to meet it, as I see it, is to go to the homes of every Negro family and sit down w i t h them and tell them unless they keep their children in school u n t i l they graduate from high school there w i l l be no hope for them.

There is no hope in our i n dustrial automated society for«anyone who has not finished high school and procurred high school training.

This is a desperate situation that confronts us.

Ghettos

In New Y o r k and Chicago, Muslims struck out last week at the scourge of tuberculosis, o n e of the diseases common to life in the ghettos of the great cities.

Capt. Joseph X of New York told Muhammad Speaks t h a t nearly 1,000 Negro and white Harlemites secured free chest X-rays as members of Mosque No. 7 pitched in to help the New York City Department of Health and the city Tuberculosis and Health Association.

IN CHICAGO, Muslim leaders attended a conference on tuberculosis at the South Shore hotel and later charted a program to help fight the tuberculosis menace.

The six-hour New York operation was directed by Captain Joseph X, Minister Henry X and Sister Captain Clotelle X of the MGT-GCC, all of Muhammad's Mosque No. 7, in cooperation with Majorie A. Costa, field coordinator of the Harlem Tuberculosis Casefinding Project.

THE FRUIT OF ISLAM encouraged Negro, Puerto Rican and white passersby to get the free chest X-rays, directed them to the application station and then escorted them to the mobile unit parked in front of the building where the X-ray crew took over.

TB STATISTICS for 1961 reveal that there were 6,842 persons with known active tuberculosis in New York City, or an average of less than one case (0.87) per 1,000 population.

However, in Central Harlem the known prevalence rate was 4.24 per 1,000 population, or almost five times that prevailing in the city as a whole.

The statistics for 1962 were not yet available but experts anticipate that the statistics will still show an alarming known prevalence rate of TB in Harlem.

Miss Costa, who directs the Harlem project to combat TB, praised the members of Muhammad's Mosque No. 7 for their efforts in helping their neighbors in a true community spirit.

Prayer Service In Islam (The following is a continuation of the special prayer in Islam prepared by the Messenger of Allah and which appeared in our last issue.)

T H E MECCANS were not enslaved to any physical king and people -only to false belief. But remember that prophecy ''like unto me." The man had to he one who received a revelation or guidance from Allah to physically liberate a people from the physical holding of a superior force or ruler.

He must fight with this particular ruling class to release his people—like Moses. Then, he must give them their own religion, teach them the knowledge of the true God (Allah) and His true religion. Islam. And set up a completely new religious service never known to his people before. He must overcome them with nothing hut the T r u t h and the power and guidance of Allah as Moses did with Pharaoh and his well-armed army. Because he is not in a position to arm himself and his followers w i t h carnal weapons. For t h e enemy controls the manufacture of arms.

He must he one like Moses, dependent upon Allah for the victory over his enemy. Here he shows forth, in a k i n d , where : Allah has not been w'orshipped and where Islam has ' not been accepted as the true religion, the power of Allah —Ly letting Allah fight his and his people's battle against their wicked oppressors.

T H I S IS T H E true type of man like Moses. It you study the prophecy concerning the hast Messenger of God, accord- | ing to the description given to the man by the Bible's prophecy in the Torah and Gospel, you will find that he is j a man. according to the Psalms, with a name as " M u h a m mad" and also you will find him in the Revelations under ! the symbolical name "Lamb." He gets the name (Praised) | from the honor of the "twenty-four elders" or Islamic j Scientists. The position that he is shown under, the symbolical " L a m b " in Revelations, is like the Holy Qur- an's | teaching of one who is illiterate and that the people w i l l find written down in the Torah and the Gospel.

Truth As A Guide (Continued from Page 1) their own to set upjtheir own independent way of life free from the dictation of Pharaoh and his people.

Pharaoh feared the teachings of Moses (Qur-an 40:26) which was Islam, according to the. Holy Qur-an Chapter 4:163, 164, and according to the Bible.

Exodus 8:27-32. Moses asked Pharaoh to allow them to go on a three-day journey into the wilderness to pray and sacrifice to J e h o v a h , but Pharaoh, also called a great dragon, would not let them goP H A R A O H desired to kill Moses and all Israel. He ordered the k i l l i n g of all boy babies of Israel; Herod ordered the same to r i d h i m self of Jesus. The great "red dragon" seeks to do the same.

He stands before the woman to k i l l her child as soon as it is born.

He was angry w i t h the woman and made war on the remnant of her seed (the followers). T h r o u g h o u t the Bible's Revelation of John, this dragon or serpent is mentioned as being an enemy to God and His Prophets and people.

I N T H E 15TH verse of this chapter (12) under discussion the serpent casted out of his m o u t h water as a flood (propaganda) after the woman that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. Allah (God) has made this symbolical teachings of the Bible easy to understand on His visit to us, and its true meanings fit the present Caucasian or European Christian white race.

There are many Christian writers on this symbolical beast of the Revelation. I agree w i t h Pastor Russell arid Judge Ruthford, the founders of a religious organization here in America under the name "Jehovah Witnesses" that it represents the head of Christianity whose capitol is in Rome, Italy. The "beast" that the "dragon" gives power to is the government of America (the fourth symbol-

ical beast of Daniel 7:7-9).

B O T H T H E B O O K of Daniel and the Revelations of John saw and described the fourth beast almost identically, and also the end of the beast is described the s a m e d e s t r o y e d by God w i t h fire. Both saw the beast w i t h a head w i t h ten horns which means ten independent powers attached or united to one great power. Nothing answers this description better than North and South America.

North America is the head; C e n t r a l and South America w i t h her many little independent governments are the symbolical horns of N o r t h America.

Daniel and the Revelations of John saw this fourth beast as a destroyer of human beings. Once the prey is in his power it is like being in a beast's mouth w i t h iron teeth.

The beast is so well armed that Daniel says he looked terrible and dreadful. The ten horns shall hate the whore that the beast carried and supported and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh and burn her (the church) w i t h fire.

(Rev. 17:16).

C H A P T E R 18:2 and 3 tells why she should be destroyed and the fourth verse of the same chapter warns God's people {the so-called American Negroes) to come out of her that they take no part of her sins so that they receive none of her plagues.

The so-called Negroes are a prey in the power of this government, and it is like being in the mouth of an angry savage beast that desires nothing better than to destroy and swallow the prey. Fear not so-called Negroes, fly to Allah for safety !

A border-state governor declared flatly that "segregation must die" if the freedom of Americans is to survive.

Speaking to 500 persons at the 11th annual brotherhood banquet of the Chicago Conference of Brotherhood, Gov. Bert T. Combs of Kentucky—the only Dixie state to pass civil rights legislation— said that " i f American freedom is to live, then all segregation must die."

-THE KENTUCKY chief executive said, during his speech, that racial injustice' had caused Americans to "assume a mortgage on their freedom" at the beginning of their history.

Governor Combs said decisions by the United States Supreme

Court outlawing segregation were "but interest payments."

"We are still behind on the principal," he said, "in spite of our tremendous bank account of friendly harmony without conformity."

COMBS RECEIVED a plaque citing him for providing opportunities for all Kentucky residents regardless of race, c r e e d or color.

The governor spoke after nine persons and a bank were cited for contributions to race relations and brotherhood.

Throughout history, men's ignorance of others* ways and lives has been reflected in prejudice, suspicion and mistrust — attitudes which have

been the basis tor auterences which led to war among the peoples of the world.

I G N O R A N C E and misunstanding can still lead to dangerous friction. P o i n t s of conflict are not always political. They are o f t e n racial, economic or cultural.

Any effort to achieve lasting peace must begin w i t h an understanding of all factors producing tensions and must seek to eliminate these factors.

was born from time of war. I t arose out of the Second World War and out of the conviction that " i t is in the minds of men that the defenses of peaie must be constructed."

Of all the s p e c i a l i z e d agencies of the United Nations, UNESCO is, in a sense, the least specialized. Its activities cover the immense and widely varied fields of education, s c i e n c e and culture throughout the world. Here we deal primarily w i t h the suhject of education in Africa.

M A I N S P R I N G of the work now being carried out in Africa by UNESCO is an i n tensive program to develop African education. This program has been described by UNESCO officials as the most ambitious undertaking in the organization's 15-year history.

Other UNESCO - organized c o n f e r e n c e s on education have brought out an urgent need for revising textbooks and procedures used in A f r i can schools.

For example, under colonialism, those fe\y Africans who did go to government or mission schools learned more about the history and culture of their colonial masters than they learned about themselves and their A f r i c a n neighbors.

NOW A F R I C A N educators are revamping the educational system and setting up programs that w i l l teach student"- from first grade up about their own society and about their nations' contributions to world culture.

T h e s e educational programs in Africa (as well as throughout the rest of the world) came about when ministers of education of the A l -

UNESCO is -directed and managed by an Executive Board of 24 members w h o meet at least twice a year.

I t is responsible for prepari n g the agenda for the General Conference, for supervising the execution -of the program voted by the conference, and for recommending admission of new Member States.

The secretariat consists of approximately 420 p r o f e s sional members plus office personnel numbering 575 persons, recruited from member _ states. I n addition, some 80 persons are employed i n field offices, plus technical assistance experts, about 400 of whom receive contracts annually for m i s s i o n assignments.

T H E DIRECTOR GENE R A L of UNESCO is M r .

Rene Maheu of France. He has been in office since 1961.

The spending budget for 1959-60 was $25,970,000 as compared w i t h $22,680,000 for the previous t w o years.

A t the local level member states have set up national c o m m i s s i o n s to run the L XESCO operation w i t h i n t h e i r respective countries.

The national commission is made up of representatives of the government and national institutions and organizations interested in educational, scientific and cultural matters.

The purpose of these commissions is to integrate individual efforts in member states w i t h the w o r k of U N E S C O ; to advise governments and delegations; to carry out liaison activities and to function as outlets of information.

Africa's quota o f this deficit is on the high side. I n the field of education, therefore, UNESCO's p r i m a r y concern in Africa is both t o fight i l literacy and to extend and improve school teaching.

Even more than in the past, when well-meaning people talk of Africa, they lament the illiteracy which they seem to regard as a sort of i l l ness. But, all the same, how have these people managed to exist for centuries w i t h o u t an alphabet ? .Some o f the esthetic forms in which these cultures found

A t the end of the Second W o r l d W a r i t would have been hard to anticipate such a rate of increase—that an i n dependent Republic called Ghana would have more than 600,000 pupils at school in 1960; nor that there would be 130,000 school children in Senegal and Mali.

Fifteen years ago, just as much astonishment w o u l d have been caused at the suggestion that Addis Ababa would possess a great university college and that the equipment of the l e c t u r e rooms, libraries and laboratories of the universities of Ibadan, Accra, Elizabethville, Leopoldville, Fourah Bay and Dakar w o u l d put a number of European cities to shame.

Today, students at these African universities are hardly aware that their countries were not so long ago obliged to do without universities at all.

Life Bleak for r olombia Negroes This is the final installment of the two-part article on the experiences and analysis of Chicago school teacher, Miss Ethel Minor, who spent the past two years traveling through South American countries. Colombia is discussed in detail because Miss Minor said this country is "mentioned by U.S. representatives as being a 'democratic republic' and 'one of the most advanced Latin American countries.' " She paints a dismal picture of the plight of the black man in Colombia.

Fights Segregationists

By Jeremiah Shabazz Muhammad Speaks Correspondent N E W O R L E A N S , L a . — Down here in "darkest" Louisiana, where not a single President of the United States has ever ventured to oppose the Hitlerish suppression of the Negro population—a lone Negro is running for governor.

In his opinion, his election would bring into Louisiana the first real governor before or since the assassination of Huey Long.

I had breakfast with this black man who seeks to govern Louisiana not in some dim future but in the next six months.

WE SAT DOWN in a segregated eating place, ordered grits and eggs and talked while drinking strong black coffee with chicory.

He is 43 - year - old Earl J .

the fair minded whites — and there are a few — nor the Negroes have a soul to represent them.

"I'M SETTING an example.

One day the p e o p l e in this state will realize how strong they are and they'll elect someone like me."

I looked into his cup to make sure all he was drinking was black coffee.

What is the main holdback against securing a victory this time, I asked.

HE OBSERVED that Negro owners "live in the best communities, their wives wear minks —while those carrying the load are underpaid." He added that this was especially true in the newspaper and insurance businesses.

He said a continuance of this practice will result in Negro businesses being "pushed, not off Main Street because we are not on it, but right out of the picture."

Congressman Hawkins s a i d that Negro newspapers "have to give more space to bills which concern us all, but which are not necessarily sensational."

He expressed concern about the current bills before the Congress having to do with the employment of youth and education. He said all Negroes should

Hits British Arms Exports To S. Africa

LONDON—Britain's Labor Party came out last week against all exports of arms to South Africa to be used in killing African freedom fighters.

Speaking at a rally in Trafalgar Square here, Harold Wilson, leader of the opposition Labor Party, branded such arms as "weapons of oppression."

The rally commemorated the o u t b r e a k of the Sharpeville (South Africa) massacre, when police of the segregationist government, on March 21, 1960, fired upon African demonstrators, k i l l i n g 67 and injuring twice as many.

29 states out of 50 have laws prohibiting racial or religious discrimination in public places.

Gov. Archie Gubbrud last week signed into law such a bill, making South Dakota the 29th state to do so.

••' The act covers discrimination "by public conveyances, theaters or other public places of amuse-

Violations are criminal offenses and punishable by fines up to S200.

The act goes into effect on July X.
