Why Arabs Rejected Phony Israel 'Peace7 Plot Favoring Zionist Expansion Scheme By Ali M. Baghdadi As a Palestinian who is fully aware of his peoples sacred struggle against Israeli military occupation, I see that the Arab freedom f i g h t e r s are in full agreement with Israel in her rejection of a settlement drawn and imposed by the four big powers. Also, I could safely say that the Arab Commandos, the sole representatives of the two m i l l i o n displaced Palestinians, s t r o n g l y support Mr. Abba Evan's recent assertion that no big power should tell small nations what to do. Furthermore, they share his governments view that the solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict should come from those who are directly involved. MUSLIMS and Jews had lived together in peace and harmony for many centuries.

Real Judaism, as we Arabs see it is a religion based on liberty and justice and not on collaboration and conquest. In contact with the so-called Arab terrorist through their literature and press releases, I believe that the Arabs are not only ready to sit down with the Israeli at a peace table as they demand, but the Arabs are also willing to forgive and forget in the same spirit of hospitality that Saladin extended to the Crusaders after 200 years of bitter hostilities. For that moment to come the

Israelis have to reject their rac| ist notion of an exclusive Jewish j state and to recognize the rights ! of the Arabs, the legal inhabitants of Palestine. The Israeli leaders have to accept the idea of the return of Palestine to the Palestinian.

AFTER TWO decades of relying on the world conscience to resolve their tragedy, the Palestinians today will not lay down their weapons till a new state in an Arab union emerges, where Muslims, Christians and Jews could live again together.

Anti-Black By LONNIE KASHIF WASHINGTON — Anyone desiring to learn about "plantation" days when "a lot of 'house boys'" carried out the will of the white overseers, need only to accept employment at the D.C. Post Office Department. SUCH IS THE view of Robert White, president of the D.C. Branch of the National Alliance of Postal and Federal Employees. In a recent statement to the press, White flayed the Post Office department for what he called "deplorable conditions," under which the district employees still must work. White complained that "some of the 'hokse boys' act through fear of the "white overseers,"

needed upgrading in community city services. They submitted a six-point program during a recent press conference. 1. Black police, from top to bottom, in the predominentlyBlack communities. If this cannot be accomplished on a permanent basis, it is demanded that only Black officers be in the districts during times of uprisings. Also there should be a civilian review board to determine disciplinary action against police. 2. A moratorium on all future land acquisitions by the city and a thorough review of acquisition proposals which are pending. 3. Filling of two upcoming vacancies on the Chicago Board of Education with Blacks from the West Side. 4. No further urban renewal demolition u n t i l middle-income and low-income housing has been built on presently-vacant land. 5. A West Side School Board that would function in an advisory capacity to the city school board. 6. Weekly garbage collections throughout the Black communities; perodic clearing away of debries, including abandoned vehicles, and appointment of area sanitation superintendents w h o live in the districts. These measures, if adopted, could constitute a giant step toward alleviating hostilities toward the city government, Andrews said. He pointed out that discontent with municipal officials is widespread. Allen, referring to the several Black u p r i s i n g s on Chicago's West Side, asserted: "ONE HUNDRED per cent of the Black community, although they may not have actively participated in the upheavals, in spirit had their hearts behind every brick thrown."

I n v a s i o n O f af B l a c k By John Woodford (Pan-Africaq Press) DETROIT — " I just don't understand these white folks," an elderly African American man said. "Here Judge Crockett goes and protects people from police denying them their Constitutional rights, and the white papers say he's a communist. If that's what communism is, a lot of Biack folks are going to start reading up on i t .

C. L. Franklin on behalf of Black people rounded up in a mass arrest following the Detroit police attack on members of the Republic of New Africa. The arrests and trials occurred on March 30. (By raw, the writ of habeas corpus MUST be granted by a judge. The writ orders police and other authorities who have detained or imprisoned a person to bring that person forward, take him before a judge, charge him with a crime or release him.)

The shootings which created the hot controversy still cannot ^clearly traced at this time. Apparently two Polish American rookie root policemen did not know — or did not care — that armed guards p a t r o l l i n g outside the New Bethel Baptist Church were entirely within their legal rights in the state of Michigan. Aware of brutal police attacks a g a i n s t other Afro - American groups working for liberation — like the many police firings on Mosques of the Nation of Islam in the early 69's — the leader of the R e p u b l i c of New Africa (RNA) developed measures of disciplined self-defense. From sketchy reports it appears that Patrolmen Michael Czap-ki and Richard Worobec topped on Linwood and Euclid bout a block south of Philadei hia.

Brother Imari, a leader of the RNA. said that this success boosted the R e p u b l i c higher on the list of groups which the racist-exploiter U.S. Government wants to destroy. This explains the apparently irrational attack, he said, in which two panicky rookie policemen were pawns sacrificed by the board-chairmen of the U.S. military-industrial-congressional-syndicate complex. Patrolmen Czapski apparently ran towards some gun-bearing Biack men with his own gun drawn. He was shot dead. Brother Imari said that while the RNA "would not be ashamed to admit to a self-defense shooting," the group did not really know who had done the shooting. Czapski's partner, Officer Worobec, was wounded when he sought to join the fight. He crawled back to his car, slumped on the floor and radioed the police station for help — his hand accidentally falling heavily on the car's accelerator. The squad car shot forward In the night and struck mail boxes as it moved up Linwood. It finally came to a stop near the church, striking an obstacle with a deafening crash.

By Joe Walker NEW YORK—Dr. Conor Cruise O'Brien, currently Schweitzer professor at New York university, served in 1961 as special representative of the SecretaryGeneral of the United Nations in Katanga. Later, he was vice-chancellor of the University of Ghana in Accra. Recently, he wrote a play linking the late Dag Hammarskjold to the murder of Congo Premier Patrice Lumumba (see last week's MUHAMMAD SPEAKS). FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS, O'Brien was in the foreign diplomatic service of his native Ireland. During the latter decade of that service he was the Irish delegate to the United Nations on two main p o l i t i c a l committees. Responding to the reaction and i n t e n s e criticism to the murder of Lumumba in 1961, a n d especially the great demonstrat i o n by Afro-AmeriO'Brien cans in the Security Council gallery, the UN altered its Congo policy and decided, instead of condoning Katanga, to squeeze Moise Tshombe's Katanga. O'Brien recalled that the UN "wanted at that stage somebody who they though would be likely to apply that policy. Previously they had been represented in Katanga by Englishmen and Frenchmen who on the whole sympathized with Tshombe's Katanga and Union Miniere," he said. Union Miniere is the enormous Western mining consortium which is the chief world producer of cobalt, one of the world's leading producers of cooper and also a big producer of uranium-radium ore, zinc, germanium, cadmium and precious metals. " I was one of the few^European delegates who had been active in the sponsorship of anti-colonia] resolutions and activities in the United Nations," ~ " T h e U n i t e d States is a c o u n t r y w h e r e n o b o d y gets a n y t h i n g , i n c l u d i n g justice, by asking for it but only by organizing and takingi t . " O'Brien told MUHAMMAD SPEAKS in an exclusive interview. Because of this background, he was selected as the "ideal" person for the Katanga mission. He left the service of the Irish government to join the UN staff and departed for Katanga. In a short period of time, O'Brien's application of the new UN policy regarding Katanga was attacked by England as "too enthusiastic" and the United Nations decided to back away a bit from what it had attempted." O'Brien resigned from the UN, and in a book, "To Katanga and Back" (^nion and Schuster, 1962), told the story of British support for the financial interests that had, in effect, annexed Katanga. THE TELLING of O'Brien's story in 1962 made it difficult for the UN to continue with its "footsie" policy in the Congo and prompted it to re-apply pressure-to Katanga, which eventually resulted in the demise of the so-called independent state of Katanga and its re-entry into the federah state of the Congo. In "To Katanga and B&ck" O'Brien explained how the big Western powers in the UN have a tendency to vote for many resolutions in the Security Council and General Assembly but then behind the scenes to destroy what they voted for. He mentions the Congo as one example. MS asked him about other instances. "Rhodesia is another case—a very clear and obvious example," he replied. "There the Western countries, in particular Britain voted for and in fact called for sanctioning J ^ i f i 1 ^ B j ™ e v . e T > . B r i t a i n s t i p u l a t e d , through

lutions must not be implemented in a way which would involve confrontation with the Republic of South Africa. "EVERYBODY knows that South Africa is upholding Rhodesia and openly violating the UN resolutions," continued O'Brien. "To say that the resolutions must be applied without confrontation with the power which is violating them is self-contradictory and an exercise in hypocrisy," he remarked. Regarding UN resolutions against South Africa's continued rule over South West Africa (or Namibia), O'Brien declared that "here, again is another case of double-talk. (United States' UN Ambassador) Goldberg said that South Africa had no right whatsoever to be in South West Africa, voted for the resolution terminating the mandate and stated that there must be more than talk on this but action. So. the United States now holds before the world community that South Africa's presence in South West Africa is illegal, is accomplished by force and is a breach of the UN charter. Yet, the United States does absolutely nothing about that, and further uses all of its influence to restrain anyone else from doing anything about i t . " IN PRACTICE there are two faces to United States' policy concerning South Africa. According to O'Brien, "there is a moralistic policy which is talked out at the United Nations and there is the real policy, which is one of close and lucrative friendship with South Africa. To speak openly would be to lose more 'friends' in tropical Africa and the world, so the United States says the opposite, but it Ls a perfect example of the departure of words from action." Many people view the United Nations as an organization to maintain the status quo. Yet O'Brien has held out hope for the UN as an instrument for world peace and for resolving certain conflicts between nations. MS inquired if he still had such optimism. "1 see the UN as a rather leaky but useful safety valve," he responded. "In confrontations between major powers approaching the point of explosion, the United Nations is an arena where mankind's instinct for self-preservance has time and means of asserting itself."

HE ADMITS that often it may be in devious ways. He wrote a book which deals with some of the ways the UN attempts to gain time to avoid head-on collusions. It is titled "The United Nations: Sacred Drama," published in 1968. "The preservation of certain minimum safeguards for survival about defines the degree of utility the United Nations has," indicated O'Brien. 'Otherwise, you are correct in saying that the UN tends to be an organization for the preservation of the status quo. This is inevitable in its structure because it is an association of governments of sovereign states—all of whom, without exception, have vested interest in the status quo." The Irish diplomat-author-critic-scholar used to represent his homeland on the Special Political Committee of the United Nations. The countries sit in alphabetical order. Ireland's seat was between Iraq and Israel, which was a hot seat indeed. Questioned about the Arab-Israel conflict, O'Brien related that he saw the original creation of the state of Israel as "an injustice perpetrated upon Arabs as a result of an injustice perpetrated upon Jews by Nazi Germany." He called it a "double tragedy" in which, he claims, "none of the great powers have clean hands . . . they have all been fishing in troubled waters" and, or, as in the case of the United States, "playing their own home electorial politics with this burning issue." O'BRIEN WAS sharply critical of so-called Western democratic countries who were unwilling to accepting Jews in large numbers fleeing Nazism's op-

est or household uses. However, Swedish authorities noted that there will be one area where DDT will remain in usage: the war against certain beetles — a battle in which 100 tons of DDT are used yearly.

By JOE WALKER (Muhammad Spooks Now York Burnout NEW YORK — Germany occupied South West Africa in 1889 and slaughtered tens of thousands of the Black inhabitants who put up a valorous but unsuccessful resistance. From that time on the survivors and their offsprings have been under foreign, white domination, exploitation and brutality. THE BLACKS in South West Africa waged a courageous and costly battle against the Germans in World War I only to be awarded to South Africa as a "mandate" under the League of Nations. The most-notorious, racist country in the world today was supposed to, according to the League of Nations which granted it supervision over South West Africa, "promote to the utmost the material and moral well-being and the social progress of the inhabitants of * v .i'territory." Thumbing its nose at anyone or any country that challenged its nerve to do anything it pleased, South Africa proceeded to do to its entrusted dependent, South West Africa exactly what its white minority had done in South Africa, and that is to enslave, use and abuse the Black majority by means of massive military might and oppression. Many of MUHAMMAD SPEAKS readers are well aware of this because these pages have been full of news, unavailable almost anywhere else in the country, about South and South West Africa. Still, this MS correspondent deliberately reviews the history of this outrageous situation because he is aware of the ever-expanding circulation of this publication, long ago the biggest Black newspaper in readership in the United States. The United Nations, which succeeded the League of Nations, voted on October 27, 1966 (in its General Assembly, Resolution 2145) that South Africa forfeited its right to administer South West Africa by its exploitative and racist conduct; that the mandate was hence ended and that the territory should be

B o r n under international supervision until independence. The next year in April, a special session of the UN's General Assembly voted for an 11-member Council for South West Africa with administrative an executive functions assigned to a UN Commission for South West Africa. South Africa ignored the UN degree and bolstered its control over South West Africa and its prosecution and persecution of Black opposition. The United Nations did nothing but ceremoniously pass some more resolutions condemning South Africa. MUHAMMAD SPEAKS recently conducted an exclusive interview with Gottfried H. Geingob, petitioner at the UN and representative in the United States for SWAPO (South West African People's Organization). The South West African Freedom Fighters cannot afford to support a full-time representative in this country and so South West African Geingob is here in a dual capacity. His is SWAPO's US representative and a student at Fordham University in New York City, majoring in political science. He lives at 657 West 161st St., Apartment 3-F, New York City 10032. South West Africa is the name applied by white nations in Berlin to the territory it assigned for supervision to South Africa. Geingob and most of his countrymen call their homeland, Namibia. "Many people have been protesting that people in Namibia are treated badly and attacking apartheid (South African's vicious form of racial oppression)," declared Geingob. "This is well and good but it may tend to take the emphasis away from self-determination, which is the main issue. We want to rule our own country now!" he exclaimed. Guerrilla activhy has been going on in Namibia for many years now but is increasing in its frequency and intensity.

GOTTFRIED H . GEINGOB, South West African People's Organization U.S. representative, urges life-loving people to support an end to white rule in Black African nations. He warned that people must go beyond a stand for an end to apartheid in South West and South Africa. Black rule is the only solution, he emphasizes.

them to what was then a colony, the British protectorate of Palestine, without regard to the rights or feelings of the Palestinians. The current situation in South .Africa "can only be solved by revolution, with the Blacks overthrowing the whites by force," said O'Brien. Once their struggle is well underway, they will then begin to secure substantial help from outside—from and through the African states, as the people in Algeria did in their liberation fight from and through Tunisia and Morocco. The ex-aide of UN Secretary-General Hammarskjold notes the heavy forces against which Black South African Freedom Fighters must contend. "The military forces of South Africa are tightly-knit, heavily-armed and very ruthless," observed O'Brien. "They are also well-supported by the outside, even by countries who condemn its racist policies like Britain and the United States," he said. "Non-whites in South Africa lack one advantage," comments O'Brien, "that the Algerians had, and that was wide-spread military training. The Algerians had been trained by the French military. So when the time came for the Algerians to wage their own struggle, there was a large cadre of experienced NCOs (non-commissioned officers), which is the backbone of any fighting force. And there is a pertinent parallel with Viet Nam," he said. ANOTHER difference between the South African and Algerian struggles that O'Brien referred to was that "the Colons (the French, etc. in Algeria) could always get out and go back to France as an alternative. The Afrikaaners have no place else to go. They

have no roots left in Europe because they were cut long ago and they have rooted themselves in South Africa. " N e v e r t h e l e s s , they are the minority," said O'Brien. " I t is unrealistic to suppose that apartheid or oppression and exploitation of the Black major;:;, will be changed by words or that the Afrikaaner government is going to acquire quite different values and policies than it now has." O'Brien, whose new play, "Murderous Angels" to open in Los Angeles this year, indicts the UN leadership (in 1961) with complicity in the murder of Lumumba, draws points of comparison between the Black liberation fight in the United States today and the Irish struggle of yesterday. "There was a phase in the Irish struggle in the 19th century when people essentially looked to Britain for justice," O'Brien told MS. "The idea was to let us try to convince these people that we have a justified claim to self-government, and once they were convinced of that we could make progress in that direction. That didn't work, so in the early days of the present century a movement started that was known as "Sinnfein" (which is two Gaelic works, meaning 'ourselves'). The point of the movement was one of self-reliance. We did not want outside advice or help. We intended to solve our own problems in our own way." Making life difficult for the English government and troops, the Irish used various forms of resistance—beginning with passive resistance and progressing to guerrilla warfare. It was considerably successful. O'Brien thinks that there are strong parallels between the Sinnfein idea and the idea of Black Power in the U.S. Both can be interpreted and

utilized in various ways and have the core of self-reliance at the center of the idea. BEING A SCHOLAR, O'Brien indicates a difference "where the Irish people had a fairly-clear delineated national territory which it was possible for T h e creation o f Israel was " a n injust i c e p e r p e t r a t e d u p o n / f r a b s as a r e s u l t of an injustice perpetrated u p o n Jews b y Nazi Germany . . . . a double tragedy. them to recover, and which they did recover with the exception of a corner in the northeast. On the other hand, the Black people in this country have no one consolidated majority base. Still, it seems to me that Blacks in the United States have to apply the same basic doctrine of self-reliance and winning control over their own affairs in the situation in which they are, which is scattered. "The United States is a country where nobody gets anything, including justice, by asking for it but only by organizing and taking i t , " O'Brien maintained. "This also applied to the extent that the Irish and Italians did make advances in this country. They didn't make those strides because anybody felt favorably-inclined to them but because they organized. Even though often it was in ways that the rest of white America didn't like—like Tammany Hall and the Mafia." O'Brien is quick to confess that he is just beginning to learn about the Afro-American struggle in the last few years he has been in the United States but stated that he is convinced that Blacks here are on the way to their own self-determination.

imbecile on these white-geared "intelligence" tests. Dr. Coles continued, saying that people should try to understand one a n o t h e r . Then he asked: "What do we have in place of this (understanding)? "We have these things that are punched, we have curves, we have things called IQ, we have milti-phasic this, and somethingelse that. And people are hired, fired and tested and evaluated and screened. And children are sent here, there and every other place on the basis of this." Coles summed up IQ testing as "incredibly naive, a simple-minded way of looking at the human being." Interrupted by heavy applause, he continued: " I have no doubt in the world that IQ tests are capable of enabling the man who gives them and those who interpret them to learn something about those who take them.

"BUT TO MAKE the IQ test the main predominant or critical way of learning which children learn what in what school or in what classroom of what school, to make the IQ test the means of deciding which track a child goes into and what kind of education he's going to get, to make the IQ the central issue in American education or even one of the major issues in American education, or to use it to think about the precocities of a group of people—I can only say: To think that we're doing that!"

HYDROLOGISTS feel the water spreads over 55,000 miles in southeast Libya, and may even go into Egypt, the Sudan, and as far into the south of Africa as Chad, the southern neighbor of Libya. It is believed that Libyan Desert will support even such crops as rice, which requires large amounts of water. Says one A m e r i c a n advisor: "People laugh, but I see no reason why we can't grow rice here." By "we," he refers to himself and other white Americans who suddenly take an interest in Africa whenever some possibility of exploitation appears.

THE EDUCATIONAL sys tern's biggest fault is that it fails to c o r r e c t its o w n mistakes. Since most of the c h i l d r e n from the minority groups never get a chance to finish school, it isn't too hard for anyone to figure out that something is Duran wrong. Any p r o f e s sional educator can list dozens of things that i r e wrong in this fcriiffidional system which force -Jie minority child to drop out of school, making him almost illiterate, unemployable, and draft bait for the war. Yet this system does very little to correct the cause of these mistakes.

which falls outside of this white way of thinking. This means that over thirty million (30,000,000) people who make up our minority groups must either change their ways of thinking and feeling, their religious practices, and their ways of speaking, or be forced out of the school system and never get an education let alone one that which a c t u a l l y meets their needs.

are so insensitive to the children's feelings that they will try to mold the child into the white framework by embarrassing the child for having different or original views. This usually results in the child developing a hatred for the teacher. The white teacher even tries to tell the Black child how the child should comb his hair; change the Puerto Rican's name into something in English because the teacher cannot pronounce it and tell a child of Mexican-Indian heritage to speak only English in school, when she knows full well that the child has never before spoken English.

Letters Praises Truth of Muhammad Speaks Coverage on Attempt to Split Nigeria DEAR SIRS Please permit me a space in your w i d e l y - r e a d journal to speak to my Black brothers and sisters in the U.S. Your newspaper was introduced to me by a f r i e n d here whose name is Alfred Adeniyi Macaulay, of 23 W a k e m a n St., Yaba, Lagos State. I became interested in its contribution to the cause of our soul brothers and in the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's ability to lead the Biack Muslims. YOUR PAPER, although still new to this part of Africa, is interesting, prolific and fearless. Circulation here is limited, except for a few copies sent to us by soul brothers in the U.S. I have to commend your efforts, and other soul brothers and sisters, for your sense of maturity, non-partisanship a n d objective reporting on the situation in our country — Nigeria — unlike the hunkies who have been misled by the propaganda of the t;ebel agents abroad. It is not our wish to fight ourselves—especially our Ibo brothers. We love them. Many of them are still in other parts of the country, working and living amicably with other Nigerians. IN LAGOS ALONE, there are thousands of them who walk freely to their businesses without fear of being molested. We are fighting a civil war, not to win, but to contain a rebellion (if this attempt to break up Nigeria is allowed to succeed, you can bet other nations in Africa will soon follow suit). Such would be a tragic precedent for Africa, Nigeria being the continent's largest nation. No country in Black Africa will tolerate rebellion. And Nigeria is not the only country where a breakaway was attempted. Invariably, the offended government has brought these secession attempts down with force. This is what is being applied in Nigeria at the present. It is not genocide or extermination of the Ibo tribe as contended by the secessionist l e a d e r s and their propagandist abroad.

ists thought that—with her size, potentialities, rich minerals and raw materials — she would be a threat to their holdings in other African countries. Hence, their involvement with and support for the rebels. They prayed for the dismemberment of the country so that they might achieve their objectives. They gave guns, money and materials to the rebels so that they could prosecute the war vigorously and engage in the clandestine air lifting of ammunitions and some foods. WHAT THE CIVILIAN population — e s p e c i a l l y children trapped behind the rebel lines — need is food and medicines, not guns. But rebel leader Emeka Ojukwu will not let this muchneeded assistance reach them through land corridors created by the federal government. Ojukwu prefers illegal transportation of ammunition to his base over food. THE N I G E R I A N HEAD of State Yakubu Gowon has said

Editorial No Time For Dispute Unite Black Man! Almighty God, who came in the person of Master W. Fard Muhammad and who selected as His Last Messenger the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, so thoroughly understood the conditions Of the Black man in America that he knew what they needed most to achieve freedom, justice and equality—UNITY under His Messenger. OF ALL the teachings God gave to Messenger Muhammad, one of his greatest gifts was the secret of how to unify a disunited people, how to bring them out of the Lion's den despite centuries of brainwashing that had left them enemies of themselves and friends of their enemy. He missioned Messenger Muhammad, the greatest instrument for the unity of the Black man to exist in these or any other times, with a dedication to a task more complex and more important for the salvation of the righteous than even that handed to Moses or Jesus. It is obvious to any thinking man or woman, regardless of his profession or position that these are critical times and decisive days. It is time for unity and the formula for that unity is best expressed on the back pages of MUHAMMAD SPEAKS, placed there years ago by Messenger Muhammad and now studied as the most profound philosophy to be born in this Western world. To those who look upon the perennial black-against-black conflicts in our community as inevitable and hopeless, heed the wise words of man who grew up in these communities, suffered all the deprivation possible and without benefit of formal education but with benefit of God's education has the key to knowledge, power and unity. "SO YOU SAY that we cannot unite and produce our own necessities?" Muhammad has challenged those doubters. "We are 22 million or more people depending on the white American citizen to produce food, clothes, shelter, transportation, employment and our educational training . . . "If you say we cannot unite, you are wrong! We can unite! Before your very eyes you see the believers in Allah (God) and his religion Islam uniting and this Divine power from Allah working among us, uniting us into a nation of brotherly love . . . This disapproves the lie of that "old saying" that the Negroes cannot unite " Then this gentle and humble Messenger has extended an invitation which stands now as open as when first spoken: "Come and let us Unite Under the Crescent and do something for ourselves in the way of supporting our own needs. Go after some of this earth for our nation of 22 million here in North America. If it cannot be had here, there is plenty of earth elsewhere. "Let us capture-the market of our people by producing their needs. We cannot produce our needs on the soil of another." Here the Lamb, whom God has allowed to go unscathed in the Land of Lions, has spelled out the formula for freedom, justice and equality. BUT THE TIME to respond is short. We have all seen the prophetic warnings issued by Messenger Muhammad come to pass before our eyes in each day's events. He has warned of the economic disasters facing America and we see inflation destroying the value of her finances. He has warned that America would never achieve a victory over that old and ancient people in Southeast Asia and we see her losing despite her superiority in weapons and manpower. He has warned all of Africa and Asia and South America will soon overthrow the slavemaster and do we not see this occurring in each days' news? For us here immediately, he has welcomed the cooperation of all Black leaders, regardless of their professions, religious, economic standings or Affiliations. He has opened his arms wide for the kind of United Black Front which would spell an end, almost overnight, to the kind of oppression and enslavement which is daily destroying our children, ruining our women and paralyzing our best efforts to survive. THAT INVITATION IS STILL OPEN. World leaders almost daily beat a path to his door. But that door is more open to YOU. the so-called American Negro, than to anyone else. Ye have only to enter and ye shall be free. But hurry—the time is short.

n. John 5X

m Ls l a m By Sister Anna Karriem Mosque No. 5 Praise and thanks is forever due to almighty God Allah Who came in the person of Master Fard Muhammad and His Beloved Messenger the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad for fashioning a nation and religion in righteousness; a nation in which the b e l o v e d Black man and woman of America may seek refuge from the oppression and enjoy the fruits of peace and progress. AS SCHOOL draws near a close, the advocates of armed revolution are advancing their ideologies on Black college campuses. Over the past two months I have read of the philosophies advocated by frustrated Black people who seek to lead the masses out from the camps of racism controlled by white America. Recently, Tuskegee Institute was visited by another spokesman of armed revolution. James Foreman, director of internal affairs for the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee who said " I have tried everything. Now, I am convinced that armed revolu! tion is the only solution to rac| ism in this country." As he conj tinued to explicate his program 'of "guerrilla warfare," he added ; "the best guerrilla fighters are between the ages of 21 to 35. This leaves me out because I'm over the road. I am just here to preach and spread the word."

Tuskegee

I believe most intelligent poopU- would agree that when one .iets himself up as a leader of his people and advocates that they go into battle with an opponent who is much mightier than the people he is leading, then most assuredly this leader ought to be capable of guiding his people as well as physically able to struggle with them. Perhaps the term "Rear Admiral" had its origin from such back scat leaders. My beloved brothers and sisters, The Honorable Elijah M u h a m m a d is teaching the Black man of America how to do something constructive for self. Surely if you were understanding the Bible that the white man has given you permission to read you would know that almighty God Allah is the "comforter" "the J e s u s " you have been awaiting for 400 years.

among us (Deuteronomy 18:18, Malachi 4:5) one like unto Moses, one who has been d i v i n e l y missioned to do the work that Moses had to do i.e. lead a people from bondage (white America). Messenger Muhammad is not trying to stage a revolution in America. There is no need to clean up a house that has become a haven for devils and their works of evil (America Rev. 18:2). Instead, Messenger Muhammad is bettering the condition of Black people in America What will you gain by taking up arms against a mighty and wicked enemy such as the white race (Psa. 37:35)? The Honor able Elijah Muhammad does not advocate armed revolution if the Black man cannot be the victor. He teaches us that to begin such a fight is suicide when we have not the resources to finish such a battle. AIlali^Godi must be the executor of thisTIgntT >->^ Why not spend the time, energy, and money it takes for an armed revolution and join with Messenger Muhammad in the constructive work of building a nation? I have worked with the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee and I once believed that the program it offered was legitimate for the welfare of my people. Today, I bear witness that Allah (God) has got to be the planner of any program designed to liberate Black people.

THE POWER of Allah (God) and His credentials have been hidden from the Black man and woman of America for 6,000 years. Nevertheless, Allah has declared an end to the oppressive rule of the white race. He desires now that you, his beloved people have a knowledge of Him and your enemy as He has instructed His M e s s e n g e r , The Honorable E l i j a h Muhammad: "Now will I rise saith the Lord; now will I be exalted. Now will I lift up myself." Isa. 33:10. To further affect a change in the condition of Black people in America, Allah has raised from

It is true and understandable that we live in a poison world — poison food, poison drinks, and poison spiritual food. The three mentioned above are the base of our life. Our lives depend upon them. W E M U S T again remember that the enemies of God and the Righteous, who were made by nature to be enemies of God and Righteousness, do not follow the path of righteousness in any way. They were made to form the teachings of their own. They could not have been the God of this world. If they had followed the World teachings and guidance, they would not have been an enemy of ours. But, since they had to build a "WHEN I ORDERED THE EXTERMINATOR, NURSE, I IN/IS REFERRING TO THE PILL I" worfd"~different from ours, they did so.

'Black

Power'

The "Black Power" cry which has resounded in force from coast to coast and border to border in the United States—and is being duplicated throughout both the Black independent nations, and the still white-settler ruled areas of the African continenthas reached its corrective fingers into another part of the world where the white man, through his devious plannings, had erected a paradise for his own greedy aim at the expense of the indigenous Black peoples. THAT PLACE is the Caribbean area, bounded by the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and also commonly referred to, in toto, as the West Indies. These spots of real estate, variously desired by the while overlords for their f u n -i n -t h e -s u n pleasure spots, minerals, timber, agriculture, and everything else that could be taken or used—are the current objects of the Black Power thrust. What the Black power advocates are out to achieve, is total control by Blacks over both the so-called sovereign, and those still-enslaved a r e a s , and the o u s t i n g of the hated "white elite" from every and any position of control over the destinies of the Black populace. ORIGINALLY, when such indep e n d e n t nations as Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, and the like, were condescendingly granted sovereignty by the white colonial rulers, the thought was to forestall any attempt at a Black uprising or takeover of the country. In the early days, the jubilation of Blacks over having a

Black government served to temporarily set back the day of reckoning that was to come. Now that the fervor of celebrating the pseudo-independence has died down, Black people in the Caribbean have taken a hard look at themselves and their lands, and discovered that the independence they were "given" means nothing at all, that it has given them no more than that which they had as chattel of the white colonial overlords.

ONE Jamaican leader, Robert Hill, a 25-year-old political science graduate of London university, the University of Toronto and the University of West Indies, Jamaica branch, has reduced the goals of the Black Power movement throughout the Caribbean to these points: — B r e a k the imperialists' hold on the Caribbean (which historically have been white and racist). —Let the Biack masses assume complete control over WHAT HAPPENED?

Core

In Harlem Hospital

Harlem Hospital is typical of most hospitals in Black slums. Far more serious problems than those MS discovered on our 15minute tour were revealed to us by employees who have tried for years to provide the best care they could under the gravest conditions and the greatest of odds. In the Nursing department the lack of personnel is most sorely reflected. A good day is when there are 7 r e g i s t e r e d nurses on duty caring for a total of more than 700 patients. There also are not n e a r l y enough practical nurses, nurses' aides, attendants, clerks and others. Often the RN finds herself having to perform as many jobs as possible, including feeding patients, changing linen, mopping floors, getting supplies, etc. Also, since Harlem H o s p i t a l cannot hire RNs directly, they go downtown and generally end up at other hospitals.

IN OBSTETRICS the last six years has shown an increase in the number of hysterectomies performed on Black women of child-bearing age. A hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus (the womb) by surgery which results in a woman being unable to bear children. An investigation took place in which 10 years of records were inspected. Statistics showed that while the overall rate had not increased, most hysterectomies are now being performed on women between the ages of 21 to 35 while 10 years ago this operation was usually performed on women 35 to 50 years old. No explanation was made as to why so many hysterectomies were performed in recent years on younger women. Some insiders feel that many are performed needlessly (in that there may be no disease of the uterus) or for medical students to practice.

Services in the e m e r g e n c y Harlem Hospital's bacteriology room are poor and slow. This is due largely to the lack of doc- lab is severely understaffed with tors on duty there.

MUHAMMAD SPEAKS

M u h a m m a d : By Sister Margary Rassaln BIBLE Jn. 14:26, "But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things." THE SCHOLARS, P R E A C H ERS AND TEACHERS, of scripture call Jesus a great teacher and so perhaps he was, to the people of the time and locale to which he came and taught. But as in all things, Jesus pointed from himself toward another one who was to come who was greater than himself. Jesus, (as does Messenger Muhammad) always placed the credit where it was due. Sometimes Jesus, credited the Father and sometimes the Comforter. In this case, it was the Comforter who would 'teach you all things'. MESSENGER MUHAMMAD, truly can and does teach us all things, to the amazement of scholars, scientists, and visitors from all over the world. Without a doubt he is the greatest comforter to us, the L o s t - F o u n d Members of the Black Nation, the world has ever known.

AS WE PONDER over the great t e a c h i n g s of Messenger Muhammad, let our minds scan the knowledge that we have of the past thousands of years . . . thinking of the teachings of the teachers whom the world has called great, we find that Messenger Muhammad is not only the greatest teacher the world has ever known, but for us, the Lost-Found Members of the Aboriginal Nation of the heavens and the earth, Messenger Muhammad is the ONLY TRUE TEACHER we have ever had. Teachers down through the ages have taught theories. Messenger M u h a m m a d , teaches facts, Truth.

Islam Brought Complete Change In My Way Of Life By Brother James X Natlor Represa, Calif.

I have often wondered how I could tell someone, on paper, "What Islam has done for me." This may sound strange to another Muslim and a follower of our divine Leader and Teacher, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. A brother in Islam, and he cannot find the way to tell about all of the wonderful changes that took place in his life when he "accepted" Islam?

not mean one or two changes; it I was a full and complete change, a new life. IN THIS NEW birth (the birth of me to Islam); I now know the real meaning of love and respect for self and kind. I have been taught who God (Allah) is. I have been taught who our Saviour is (the Black man's Saviour). I have been taught by our Divine Saviour's words, the only way to the salvation for the Black man, and, I have been taught who the Colored man is, and what he is. All of these wonderful teachings and many others have I learned since accepting Islam and following the teachings of Mr. Elijah Muhammad.

IF ISLAM had made one or two changes in my life; this would be easy; very easy to talk about. But one or two changes made in the way of the life that I was living would not have made too much difference (good changes, that is). What I needed was a new way of life. OH YES! Lest I forget. I Islam gave me this new life as would like to give Islam the taught to us by our divine leader BLACK WOMEN apply multi-skilled hands to and teacher, the Most Honorable credit for making a real man of the making of machinery in the Delta Rethe BOY that I had been so long sources Development Center at Greenville, Elijah Muhammad. 1

Scooping up most of the- Black people indicted, the cops made arrests as if they were after Al I Capone, John Dillinger or Bonnie j and Clyde. Heavily-armed and wearing bullet-proof vests, they crashed into the homes of the Panthers sought, or homes in which they were visiting friends in the wee hours of the morning.

the indictments were "an attack on the Black Panthers directed from Washington. The desire of the government to wipe out the Panther party is obvious," he said.

The court rejected pleas by another defense lawyer, noted civil rights-and-liberties attorney William M. Kunstler. He termed the bail "ransom," and the 21-count indictment (including conspiracy to murder, arson, reckless endangerment and possession Of weapons and explosives) as "a frame-up."

Mace Burns Man's Face Police Brutalize Black Family By Lonnie Kashif

(Mc-ha'niftid Speaks Wosh.nylon Bureau)

OXON HILL, M d - S e v e r a l miles from the Black "ghettos" of Washington. D C , in the plush neighboring suburbs, white cops, bent upon inflicting pain upon Blacks, swooped down upon a well-to-do Black family, hurling chemicals and destroying "private property." THIS REPORTS comes from the principal victim, Leroy B. Murray, a 45-year-old veteran who related his ordeal to MUHAMMAD SPEAKS ' My hands were handcuffed behind my back. And then this officer came up with this chemical, a few inches from my face and ju>: shot it all in my face. "My wife told him he didn't have to do that. Then he spit in my face. Then he kicked me three or four times while I had my hands tied behind me. Then he carried me to the car, and slammed the door on my leg two or three times. "Then they carried me to the precinct. This officer grabbed me in the collar, stomped my feet, and when we got there they spit in my face, and would not let me wash the chemical off. It was all in my eyes. Then they charged me with all sorts of violations and what not. " Mr. M u r r a y ' s ordeal began when he decided to burn some trash in his backyard. He told MUHAMMAD SPEAKS that the fire "went a bit out of control, up an e m b a n k m e n t " several yards from his house. "We called the fire department," Murray said. But to his dismay, the firemen not only put out the fire on the embankment, but proceeded onto his property, dowsing his wife and property SOUTH REFRIGERATION ft ELECTRIC APPLIANCE SALiS AND SERVICE

with the full blast of the hose. Murray said that he ordered the firemen off his property, but they insisted on harassing him, despite the fact that there was no longer any fire to fight. In the course of the argument, Murray recalled, his son, standing -ome 20 feet away, yelled to the firemen "to leave." The son supp o s e d l y held what firemen thought to be a pistol. Muiray stated that he urged the firemen to call the police. But when the police arrived, immediately the setting changed to something resembling "Detroit" 1 D.C. The NAACP, D.C.

O n Life By BAYYINAH SHARRIEFF Upon visiting the hospital in Khartoum, the capital of the Republic of the Sudan, one from a western society, such as America, would find quite a difference in hospital procedures. Being in a warm climate the hospital in the Sudan has balconies by which one passes from room to room, and ward to ward instead of the long halls, as is the case in hospitals in the colder climates. These balconies are around every floor and building in the hospital. There are not many heavy thick doors in the h o s p i t a l s . Wooden blinds and shutters are used as doors. One does not have to pay for hospital benefits in the Sudan. An i l l person has merely to go to the hospital for aid, and they are then directed to that section of the hospital for the specific illness which is present. THE HOSPITAL grounds reminded me of a small university campus, for it is comprized of many buildings which are within a high wall fence. Guards are posted on the gates, but are more for emergency use rather than a preventive or guard duty. There are no specific visiting hours to these hospitals. Whatever time one can visit the sick, they are welcomed. There are no limits to the number of visitors the patient can have, nor limit to the age of the visitor, unless the patient has an illness which may endanger the lives of the visitors. In America the hospitals rules and restrictions on visitors often offend or hinder the would be visitor as you all know. The atmosphere is more relaxed in the Muslim Sudanese hospital than in the American hospital in general. The patient is more relaxed and comfortable in the Sudan for some members of his family are allowed to stay (live) with him in his room, regardless to who the patient is or how much money he has. When one stops to think of this factor one can see many benefits to this system: The patient feels comfort in knowing that a loving member of his family is with him. He always has someone to talk to him about peoples and subjects which are familiar to him. He always has someone to come to his aid and call immediately, for this is like having a private nurse's aid. This does not do away with nurses or nurses' aids. They are still employed by the hospital, and make their visits and perform their duties. AMERICA knows that the love, care and attention which a patient receives helps the improve-

A S I A N

ment and progress of the patient. The doctor in the Sudan is paid a specific salary by the government. He is therefore a government employee. The doctor's greed for money is thus absent and therefore does not affect the degree of aid or care that the doctor administers to his patients. This is unlike American doctors in general who are more interested in the monetary benefits to caring for the sick. Every Sudanese doctor in the Sudan must give a certain number of hours a week to the government hospitals. They are provided with housing facilities by the government for themselves and their families and are the highest paid professionals in the Sudan. Medical aid and assistance is a governmental benefit in the Sudan. One does not have to pay for medicine. The hospital issues the medicine (fills the prescriptions) to those who need it — free of charge. When the prescription needs a refill they must return to the hospital for the medicine. There is no such thing as insurance or hospitalization in the Sudan. There is no need, for the Sudanese know that Allah is God, and on God do they rely. Allah see's all, hears all, and know's all, and nothing happens to us without it being His Will. If it is time for one to die, it is time. In the Muslim Sudanese society, one knows this and there is no need for having insurance. INSURANCE has become a large "racket" in America. And, one finds that one pays all one's life for life after death. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us to rely on Allah, and turn to Him for help with our ills. In the society which we live (America) which is contrary to good and filled with many infections resulting in illnesses from the product of grafting the filthy white man, one is exposed" to many diseases.

( C o n t i n u e d f r o m page 9 ) armed army, white South Africa, Geingob said, "A person can have military might but there is another thing called will. The United States is the most industrialized country in the world with the most modern-equipped armed forces and yet they have been bogged down in the war in Viet Nam for many years. The Vietnamese people are determined to run their own lives and so are Namibians." He reported that South Africa is trying to create "buffer areas" in South West Africa, uprooting Namibians by the thousands and re-establishing them in locations distant from the white cities. This creates logistical problems for the Namibia Freedom Fighters but they are working out new underground ways of moving military supplies. The reason the South African '""devils" are instituting this scheme is to create concentration camps isolated from white-populated areas where tanks and troops can encircle it and cut it off or bomb it to oblivion m the event of any general rebellion or uprising. Namibians have been petitioning, patiently, to the international community to come and help them for over 40 years. Nothing came of it! No world power, responded to their pleas. "The so-called highest court in the world, the International Court of Justice threw out our case (brought by Liberia and Ethiopia on their behalf) after six years of hearings and deliberations on July 18, 1966," lamented Geingob. "After "TKatPthere "was no other recourse but to take up arms," he said. "We have no other choice. We would rather die than suffer peacefully." The Blacks of South West Africa permitted plenty of time for peaceful, legal resolution of their right to their own land. They suffered and endured as best they could during that time. When that world body decreed against them (by an 8-to-7 vote), their course of action was clear to them. In 1967 the white South African oppressors seized 37 SWAPO leaders in Namibia, took them to Pretoria in South Africa and metered out justice in 5-year, 20-year and life-sentences. All were tried under South Africa's Terrorism Act, with attempting to overthrow the existing rule of South *Africa, and to replace it with a government representative of the majority of the people in South West Africa or Namibia. The trial ran from August, 1967 to February of last year, perhaps to emphasize its "stay in line, get back" message to Namibians. Among the accusedconvicted was Toivo Hermann ja Toivo, secretary for the Northern region for the South West African People's Organization. MUHAMMAD SPEAKS published Toiva's entire indictment of the court and people who brought him to trial and imposed their will on Namibians last year. In part, it read, "We are Namibians and not South Africans. We do not now, and will not in the future recognize your right to govern us; to make laws for us in which we have no say; to treat our country as if it were your property and as if you were our masters. ". . . Is it surprising that in such times my N

M u r d e r

o f

countrymen have taken up arms? Violence is truly fearsome, but who would not defend his property and himself against a robber? And we believe that South Africa has robbed us of our country. "A man does not have to be formally educated to know," Toivo instructed his pale South African judges, "that he wants to live with his family where he wants to live, and not where the official chooses to tell him to live; to move about freely and not require a pass; to earn a decent wage; to be free to work for the person of his choice for as long as he wants; and finally, to be ruled by the people that he wants to be ruled by, and not by those who rule him because they have more guns than he has." The stiff penalties handed out to these 37 Freedom Warriors doesn't frighten the Namibians, insists Geingob. He said that his countrymen expect more imprisonment of their lot, the death of more Namibians, and that is the price that has to be paid to win freedom and independence. Peasants in Namibia are catching hell as the wrath of the racist South African forces is taken out on them, especially after white South Africans have been mauled or successfully ambushed by Namibian guerrillas. Over 1,000 Namibia peasants recently fled to Zambia, according to Geingob, to escape being burned alive in their huts, brutally tortured or otherwise killed. But most peasants remain despite the oppression, and aid the underground, looking forward to the day that their land will be truly theirs. The suffering of Namibians dates back to the beginning of the 20th century when Germany invaded their land. The Germans in the early 1900s exterminated thousands of Namibians, sterilized thousands of Nambian women while thousands of other Namibians fled to other places in Africa. "Since the racist governments of South Africa, Rhodesia and the Portuguese colonies are coordinating their efforts, we in the liberation struggles in southern Africa are coordinating our fights too," reU.S.

S t o o g e

vealed Geingob. He said that once the liberation of Angola and Mozambique is accomplished, South West Africans or Namibians will have a base to operate from. South Africa, he concedes, recognizes this too, and that is why they are sending their troops to aid those other racist "imposters." The Namibian leader urges financial support from Afro-Americans for the liberation struggles in southern Africa. "After all, the Jewish American significantly supports Israel," he points out, in an admonition. Cash (in the form of checks or money orders) can be sent to the O.A.U. (Organization of African Unite) Liberation Committee, Dar es Saam, Tanzania to aid all the struggles for liberation in southern Africa, or to SWAPO (South West African People's Organization), P.O. Box 2603, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania earmarked for the Namibia freedom fight. Geingob expressed appreciation to MUHAMMAD SPEAKS for the coverage given the battle for independence in Namibia. "MUHAMMAD SPEAKS is to be congratulated," he said, "for being the only newspaper in the United States to adequately cover developments in Africa. It is to the shame of the daily press here that they distort or ignore what is going on in Africa. It is to the everlasting credit of MUHAMMAD SPEAKS that its millions of readers get a true picture of the war in my country and what is occurring elsewhere in Africa." Big Western businessmen say that they desire to invest abroad where there are stable governments. South Africa, they claim, is a stable and peaceful land. What does Geingob say about this? "Peace by force is not peace. Peace without justice is not peace," is his answer. " I t may seem tranquil temporarily to the investors and corporation owners but they are going to get the shock of their lives when we begin to 'touch' their property. "Our freedom and victory is not going to come tomorrow," he said, as we concluded our interview. "It may take 10 or more years but we are going to hit where it hurts," he said.

WOMAN IN ISLAM By Tynetta Denear The commentators of the Holy Qur-an tell us that the time period of days given to the creation (being that of six periods) actually represent stages of growth or development into our present world, and that these sequals of the D i v i n e Mysteries can be further divided into combinations of 2 and 4 periods always making up the number six representing the present world order (see Surah 41:9-10). SO IT APPEARS, as substantiated by the Holy Qur-an, that the time cycle of Pluto's orbit contains pertinent symbolism to the course of our present study of the Black Man's History and the Work of the Mahdi. P l u t o ' s orbit fits into the time cycle of the stages referred to as the stages of creation equaling six. Two distinct Surahs (3 and 85) give us some spiritual tooLs which help to explain and define some of the natural phenomenon of science which is studied by the world's scholars to better understand the orbit of the religious science, prophecy and the age. Surah 3:189—"In the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alteration of the night and the day, there are surely signs for men of understanding." Surah 85"1,2—"By the heaven full of stars! And the Promised Day!"

WASHINGTON — Muhammad's University of Islam No. 4, recently held its first Honors Day Banquet, dedicated to students who have made o u t s t a n d i n g achievements during the past marking period. Minister Lonnie Shabazz, announcing the first Honors Day, toid the students, their parents and guests that "what they have achieved under the guidance of Messenger Elijah Muhammad is wonderful. It is our responsibility to encourage them and stimulate them to go on and do great things." The honored students were in two categories: Those with a grade point average of 3.0 or higher, with no grades below C, were ranked on the class honor roll. Those with an average of 3.7 to 4.0, with no grades below B, were ranked on the University of Islam Honor Roll—the highest honor awarded by the school. This recognition has stimulated and inspired each and every student of the University of Islam here to develop his or her abilities to the fullest. There is an earnest, recognizable desire in all of the students to be great and do great things in the Nation of Islam. This is a reflection of the inspiration the students feel coming from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad through his minister, Dr. Lonnie Shabazz, principal of the University. Minister Shabazz told the students at the celebration banquet that they were honored "to encourage them to do better." He reminded those present that the H o n o r a b l e Elijah Muhammad wants "giants" produced by the University of Islam. The students must not be equal, but superior to others. "They must not only know how to do something, but they must know how to do it better than anyone else." In this spirit of encouragement, stimulation and recognition, 20 brothers and 22 sisters were feted in grand style on the first Honors Day Banquet. The entire Muslim community joined the university in recognizing the worthy students. The Mosque dining room was deco-

W A S H I N G T O N , D.C.—New government studies on employment—not released because of the presidential elections, 1968—indicate how deep the roots of white r a c i s m are—especially in the most subtle, sensitive areas, and in the most important ones, like employment. The government study called the depths of job bias and its rudiments, both "profound" and pervasive c o n d i t i o n s in the American ethos and in its economy. The report indicted white employers, across the country, without regard to region, religion, or ethnic backgrounds. The report on entrenched racism of white employers shows "that greater progress by Blacks brings forth progressively stronger discrimination against them." And at the other end of the spectrum, the three volume study by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, based on an exhaustive 1966 survey of 43,000 emnloyes and 26 million workers, reveals that with very few exceptions, minority group workers are in the lower-salaried menial occupations, with relatively little representation in the higher paying slots. P R E D I C T A B L Y , the study j shows that where there is high educational attainment a m o n g j the industries, relatively few ofjfered equal opportunity to any minority group. "There are some b u i l t - i n discrimination factors which would seem to place ceilings on Black achievement—and they probably apply to other minority groups as well," the study said. The new off-shoot on the infamous theme of "last hired first fired," shows according to the study that if a large number of Blacks succeed in getting employment in an industry, relatively fewer of them can expect promotions, towards middle-man-

THE REPORT FOCUSED in with the following conclusions: that although three of every seven workers in the nation is in a white-collar job, only one Black out of seven is so employed;

HISTORIC! PROPHETIC! A MUST FOR EVERY HOME!

that one every seven workers is skilled, but the proportion among Blacks is one out of 14; and that among the whole working population, one worker out of five Black men do this type of work.
