THE MALARIA-CARRYING mosquito was honored in Sierra Leone for making the country the "white man's grave" in past years and preventing Europeans from settling there and setting up "another Rhodesia." The Order of the Mosquito has been created to reward acts of military or civil gallantry, according to an announcement from the President's office. Eighteen other new awards have been created. Sierra Leone, in West Africa, was under British colonial rule from 1896 to 1961, when it became an independent country within the Commonwealth.

FDA

to probe cereal boxes

THE FOOD AND DRUG Administration announced in Washington that it will begin a probe to determine why there is so much empty space at the top of cereal boxes. The agency stated that an 11-state, 2-year survey has revealed that the empty space at the top of the box occupied 47 per cent of dry dessert mix packages. The agency also stated the investigation will attempt to determine how much of the empty space is unavoidable, due to settling, and how much occurs because the boxes are designed to create a false illusion.

Moreover, to continue their presence in the area, European Jewish settlers were encouraged to move to Arab Palestine. The 1958 unity between Syria and Egypt under the leadership of late President Nasser and the overthrow of the Hashemite Kingdom of Iraq, created great panic in the imperialist camp. PRESIDENT EISENHOWER ordered the U.S. Marines to occupy Lebanon and stop the tide of Arab unity which he viewed as a great threat to the U.S. theft of Arab oil and resources. At the same time and for the same reason, British paratroopers landed in Jordan. In 1961, the imperialist powers succeeded in breaking the unity between Syria and Egypt. A puppet regime was installed in Syria. In early 1971, King Hussein's throne was in great danger. Palestinian guerrilla fighters stationed in Syria crossed into Jordan to a s s i s t their comrades who were battling Hussein's Bedouin mercenaries. This prompted the U.S. government to send its 6th fleet to the Eastern part of the Mediterranean and to alert its airborne division in West Germany in an attempt to invade Syria. Israel concentrated its troops

on the cease fire lines and threatened to move into D a m a s c u s . The Israeli airforce provided King Hussein's troops with air cover and assisted him in liquidating the Palestinian Resistance Movement in Jordan. THE WINDS OF Arab unity were blowing hard in the Sudan. An agreement was signed in Tripoli, in an effort to establish a federation among Egypt, Sudan and Libya. The U.S. plot to prevent this unity succeeded. General Numairi, the Sudanese President, eliminated all the progressive elements in the army and the government. Unity among the oppressed is the biggest threat to the oppressor. Unfortunately the Arab revoultion has suffered some setbacks at the hands of imperialism, Zionism, and Arab reactionism. However, the Arab p e o p l e a r e determined to unite and free themselves from foreign domination and exploitation.

cleaning woman By Harold 4X ATLANTA—As if Prophecy of the Bible was being fulfilled before our very eyes Rev. Ralph Daivd Abernathy led a group of Black Civil Rights followers to the doorsteps of Harold Brockey, Chairman of the Board of Rich's, in the wealthy white n e i g h b o r h o o d of B u c k h e a d , Northeast, Atlanta, to ask him to give Black employees their jobs back. THE REVEREND Abernathy and the Rev. Joe Boone were arrested and charged with criminal trespass and placed under bonds of $1,000 each. The Biblical Parable describes a Rich man with a poor man outside his gate desiring the crumbs which fell from the Rich man's table. A similar real life combination of circumstances resulting mostly from the tremendous economic pressure of high food costs has forced some weary Black striking employees at Rich's, Inc. to return to their jobs while others have tried to hold out. The holdouts now want to return to their jobs, but Rich's is not readilv accepting their return. Rev. Abernathy, Rev. Boone and W.J. Stafford, a candidate for Mayor, led a group of Black people singing hymns in front of the home of Harold Brockey, Chairman of the Board of Rich's, to ask him to please be merciful and return the rest of the Black striking employees to their jobs.

said the civil rights group, with approximately 9 or 10 Rich's employees out of almost 100 persons, rode from downtown Atlanta to the wealthy home of Brockey in buses, trucks and cars at approximately 5:30 p.m Saturday. It was part of the strike against Rich's that has been going on for

more than a month, and Rev. Abernathy was ready to plead individual cases of hardships on the striking employees who are without any subsistance, to Brockey. The group sang religious hymns for almost three hours in the quiet suburban neighborhood. At 9 p.m., Abernathy — who succeeded Dr.

Martin L. King, Jr. as President of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference — and Rev. Joe Boone of the A t l a n t a M e t r o S u m m i t Leadership Conference started up the walkway to talk to Brockey. DESPITE THE LOUD hymn singing, it was reported that Brockey said he didn't know Abernathy was out there and apologized for the arrest and said he would not press charges so long as it did not happen again. Abernathy agreed to this and did not show up in Preliminary Court hearing on Monday. When the group representatives, led by Abernathy, started walking up the driveway they were told by an agent of Rich's that Brockey did not want them on his property. An Atlanta police captain warned them not to go any further. When they refused and pleaded that they only wanted to talk to Brockey they were arrested. THERE WAS no violence. After the arrests, the others quickly dispersed in the vehicles waiting for them. By 10:30 p.m. all had gone. The Black policeman said the group started to march from the downtown Rich's store to Brockey's home, but the vehicles picked them up when the police formed a line to stop them. They had been refused a parade permit. A GROUP OF Black employees have been striking against Rich's since April 4th the date of Martin L.

Male police abuse, captured w o m a n By Alonzo 4X NEWARK, N. J. - At 12:45 a.m. on Wednesday, May 2, New Jersey State police stopped a car traveling south on the Jersey Turnpike for "speeding slightly." Troopers James Harper and Werner Foerster approached the battered, maroon and white 1965 Pontiac and checked out the license and registration. AFTER THAT, details become fuzzy, but the results of whatever happened are very definite: James Costan, (Zayd Malik Shakur) and Trooper Foerster lay dead; Harper was slightly wounded in the shoulder and the bullet splattered Pontiac had limped away. Troopers, alerted by Harper, found the Pontiac about 5 miles away with a young Black woman nearby, bleeding from bullet wounds in the upper torso. The other occupant of the car was seen by one of the troopers running away into the woods bounding the Turnpike. Due to some unusually rapid

sleuthing, it was revealed that the woman was JoAnne Chesimard, who was vigorously sought by the New York Police department for her alleged connections with cop killings " c o m m i t t e d " by the semi imaginary" Black Liberation Army." Her capture was heralded in all the local papers and it even beat out the red - hot "Watergate Affair" for headlines. AN INTENSIVE m a n h u n t , involving more than 400 troopers, local police officers, New York detectives, helicopters, and special dogs, was initiated to locate the man seen running into the woods. He was found about half a mile from where he started, nearly 40 hours later. He was identified as Clark E. Squire of Decatur, Texas. The day after Mrs. Chesimard's identity became known, headlines read "B.L.A. Matron Rounded - Up on Pike," or "Soul of Black Liberation Army Apprehended," or "Cop Slaying Fugitive Captured"

providing many newspapers with extra sale margins. As of this writing Mrs. Chesimard is occupying a room in the Middlesex General Hospital in New Brunswick, N.J. and has not been allowed personal consultation with her attorney nor even adequate medical care. According to Mrs. Evelyn Williams, her aunt and attorney, "They have refused to let me see her alone." "I've only been allowed to see her for 10 minutes at a time, and then its in the presence of five armed state troopers who stand around glowering, prominently displaying their weapons. She told me then that she was constantly being threatened with physical and even sexual abuse. They won't let her sleep, she hasn't gotten any sleep in four days," Mrs. Williams said. It was a state trooper who was killed in the turnpike shoot - out, and to have men who belong to that same

organization "guarding" Mrs. Chesimard is questionable, at best. WHEN ASKED why state police, instead of local police were assigned to her bedside, hospital officials shrugged their shoulders and said, "They wanted to guard her, and they did." The blatant disregard of this woman's rights, regardless of the nature of the alleged crimes she committed, is the important factor to keep in mind. Two of the most conscientious and dedicated Black lawyers in this country — Haywood Burns and Lennox Hinds, the director and assistant director of the National Council of Black Lawyers — have pledged to assist Mrs. Williams in every way. Mrs. Williams also revealed that her neice has not received adequate medical care. As a matter of fact, Atty. Williams noted, the doctor who "treated" her reportedly said, "You're lucky we're not finishing you (Continued on page 8)

B l a c k Photographers A n n u a l 1073

By Dr. Regenia A. Perry NEW YORK —: Although the Black photographer has always been an integral and inportant part of his artistic nilieu, his status has been significantly enhanced during the past decade of increased iride and self-awareness among Black Americans. It is -rough the photography medium that one can obtain the most poignantly realistic [limpses of Black life. THE BLACK PHOTOGRAPHERS ANNUAL 1973 is a collection of phtographic masterpieces which reveals many of the facinating, kaleidoscopic aspects of minority environment. It is the first of a proposed series of publications of the same category. EVERY POSSIBLE facet of Black life is investigated — children and adolescents in rural and urban ghettos, the world of music, ballet and dance, isolated tenement hallways, deserted city streets and subway stations, the rural and urban poor, the contrast between youth and old age, and Harlem of the 1930's and of today. S o m e of t h e g r e a t personalities of our past and present are focused upon a contemplative, troubled Billie Holiday, a jubilant Mahalia Jackson with her powerful voice raised in song, and a grief-striken, but composed Coretta King. The turbulence of the 1960's is recalled in d r a m a t i c p o r t r a y a l s of

The selections represented and the quality of the printing and paper are superb. Textural contrasts, line, movement, light and shadow, and innovative techniques of the photographer's world are all depicted with remarkable accuracy and skill. The publication is one of the most profoundly artistic expressions of minority life to appear on the contemporary scene. Its subjects include Africans, South Americans, poor whites and Orientals. But above all, it focuses on one of the most unique entries in the annals of world civilization — the phenomemon of Black life in white America. The Black Photographers Annual 1973 is not directed solely to the Black public, but to persons of all races and social milieu. It is an invaluable source for the professional and amateur photographer, historian, sociologist, student and the general public. The purpose of the publication is triplefold. First of all, it exists as an encyclopedia of the genius of some of the most talented Black photographers in America. Secondly, it is a pictorial documenattion of influential figures in key events in Black America. Thirdly, it is a vivid expression of a rich cultural heritage and e n v i r o n m e n t a n d an exploration into the depths of the complex fabric of Black Americana. As one browses through the 144 pages of the timely publication, it is unlikely that " H I G H P R I E S T " of B l a c k p h o t o g r a p h y , J a m e s V a n D e r Z e e w a s not " d i s c o v e r e d " b y w h i t e s u n t i l h i s he will escape a certain w o r k s m a d e u p a m a j o r p a r t of N e w Y o r k M e t r o p o l i t a n M u s e u m of A r t ' s e x h i b i t i o n , " H a r l e m o n M y involvement, or not gain a M i n d .

Howard gives student, 'Muhammad' Award

By Lonnie Kashif M.S. Washington Editor WASHINGTON,D.C.-An "Award" established in the name of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was presented to an outstanding Howard University Dental student at the school's annual awards program for the graduating class this

year. THE AWARD, presented to Dr. Ryle A Bell, for excellence in scholarship and class leadership, was given in memory of Tyler Kent and Eleanor Milton, and was sponsored by the Huey C. Milton Familv. Dr. Bell, who received two other awards, was surprised. "I will always

treasure this," he said. The presentation was made near the conclusion of the Awards ceremony by Miss Elinor Campbell and Dr. Henry Nicholas. Miss Campbell also announced the establishment of an Emergency Loan Fund for the College of dentistry which would be matched by the American Dental

Educational Fund, bringing the amount to $5,000. IN PRESENTING the award to Dr. Bell, Miss Campbell stated, "Also in memory of Elinor and Tyler Kent, my family would like to establish the Honorable Elijah Muhammad Award for excellence to be presented to an outstanding

graduating senior in the H o w a r d C o l l e g e of medicine, dentistry and allied fields. "We hope that by establishing this award that superior graduates will be i n s p i r e d to g i v e of themselves to help build a stronger and greater Black Nation."

Farm subsidy cut may close small farms By Harold 4X ATLANTA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In addition to a series of bad weather factors jj the last 18 months, the need to do considerable replanting because of silting, washing and crusting of fields by this Spring's heavy rains, the Georgia farmers face bleak prospects. THE PROBLEM centers around President Richard Nixon's administration's proposal to eliminate price supports (welfare) for various crops and acreage allotments. Last year Georgia farmers received a total of $71.1 million

in federal crop subsidies (welfare). However, many of these recipients will definitely be driven out of the farming business if the Nixon proposals go through. The smaller farmer will be squeezed out because he has fewer resources and his adjustment capacities are more restrained to cope successfully with the impact of such an economic adjustment. Cost of production, processing and labor have increased. The need is to clear up more land which takes a minimum of two years, plus anywhere from $100 to $150 an acre to clear it

up and to put it into production. THE IDEA behind taking off all price supports and controls is to create a "free" market and let the supply-and-demand concept set the price of commodities. This move would require farmers to plant more to generate more income, however, this would cause a drop in price level as the output rose. It would be a costprice squeeze. Lending agencies in Georgia are reluctant to make muchneeded loans for farm equipment without the

assurance of a reasonable price for commodities. PRODUCERS OF cotton in the state would be the hardest hit if the price controls are cut off. Last year, when Georgia produced 360,000 bales of cotton, farmers received $54.6 million from the market place and $35.3 million in federal payments. If the cotton price-welfare supports are eliminated it will likely result in a complete phase out of cotton production in Georgia. What is being proposed for Georgia farmers, in effect, is

that they should sell their products at low prices while producing at high costs with no welfare payments to supplement. THIS SAME silent white majority of small farmers who voted Nixon into office faces the distinct possibility of going out of business, having to move to urban areas in hopes of getting work and wind up on the more popular welfare rolls that Country Singer Johnny Cash sings jokingly about every Saturday night in the hillbilly juke box joints of South Georgia.

13 states renew death penalty

CHICAGO-Capital p u n i s h m e n t has b e e n reinstated in 13 states, and two other states are anticipating restoring the barbaric system when their governors act upon the measures. THE STATES restoring the death penalty are: Utah, Colorado, Arkansas, Wyoming, New Mexico, Ohio, Nevada, Montana, Nebraska, Indiana, Connecticut, Florida and Georgia. Arizona and Tennessee are the two states awaiting gubernatorial action.

Since last summer's ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, stating that the death penalty as currently imposed in most states was unconstitutional, the way was left open by the ruling for states to restore the death penalty, providing it is imposed uniformly. Many of the new laws list specific crimes for which the imposing of the death penalty will be carried out. The killing of policeman or fireman tops the list, with various other types of murder also included.

w Your father has been killed MUHAMMAD SPEAKS

in Dallas-a police shot him

By Nathaniel 10X DENISON, Tex.—He was shot in the face more than seven times, by three white police officers. He died instantly. However the Dallas white news media led the people to believe that Leo S. Cameron was just a "drunk" who decided to have a "shoot-out" with the law—and lost. Therefore as far as the Dallas Black community is concerned it was just a "routine" killing of a Black man. Dallas is a strange city. It's unsafe, insecure and dangerous. Here, only a few short years ago, President John F. Kennedy was murdered. Shortly before his death, U.S. Secretary of State Adlai Stevenson was mobbed and mauled. THEREFORE, FROM the moment that a white man (in iowntown Dallas) "thought" hat Leo Cameron was acting 'strange" he didn't stand a hance.

Cameron DespiteLeo theS.open and blatant ;6ver-up by Dallas officials, lot all of Dallas was fooled. }ne perceptive Dallas citizen ,ent Muhammad Speaks the ollowing notice three months if ter the killing. "Mr. Cameron was an outstanding man," wrote Bill Broome. "He was working on his doctorate degree in education at East Texas State University. He was a counselor at the Denison Jr. High School. dis wife (also) teaches in the Oenison School system. He eaves two small sons without a father, and a wife without a man. "I know this was a senseless cilling," Broome continued. 'A killing of a Black man vhose only fault was he oelieved that education was the key to the Blackman's problem." Many Dallas c i t i z e n s interviewed, questioned the ase of civilian policemen and unmarked cars in the killing. They pointed out that an armed unidentified white man Iressed in civilian clothes would definitely pose a threat M any Black man. TO FIND THE missing pieces in this puzzle, Muhammad Speaks posed the question of, civilian clothes and un -marked cars to the Dallas police department for an explanation. Bill Shaw Public Information head for the Dallas police did

not deny that plain clothes white officers were used. Shaw also refused to deny that unmarked cars were used, or that all of the six "witnesses" were white. However he would not g i v e any f u r t h e r information on the case. A Sergeant T.O. Tripplett of Internal Investigation, also refused to cooperate even though the Public Information Officer referred inquireies to Sgt. Tripplett. Tripplett referred inquiries to a Lieutenant, T.D. Tolleson who declared he was not permitted to give any information, and referred inquiries back to Bill Shaw: thus completing the circle in the run-around. CLAUDE HARRIAN a close friend and neighbor of Leo Cameron said he saw Cameron's car after the murder. "THE WHOLE driver's side windows were shot out. Two bullet holes were in the windshield. < "He was one of the best men in the community," Harrian declared. "He was always a leader." After the Dallas news media, including Channel 8, the Dallas Times Hearld and the Dallas Morning News made such derogatory reports about Cameron. Harrian stated: "Several (Denison) Blacks called Dallas and had them print a retraction. However no retraction could be located. THE DALLAS news papers list the killers (those who actually fired shots) as, D.P. Roberts (who shot first) W.J. Montgomery and W.J. Barber. A.B.

shoulders and wrestled the pistol from the hand of the gunman," according to the Dallas Morning News ( Feb. 9. 1973). Cameron had already been shot in the face seven times. The Dallas Time Herald reported (Feb. 9, 1973) that, "Police spokesmen stated 'numerous' shots were fired" thereby wounding Cameron in the face seven times. CAMERON'S MOTHER, a retired school teacher, has been so upset and heart broken since the killing that neither she nor his widow has even sought information or justice for the slain man. Both, Cameron's mother and wife spoke of the "nervous strain" he was under a few days before his death. However his mother admitted that they had a long talk two weeks before he was killed and he was in good spirits. "He stayed (all night) with me—and we talked. He was happy. We always had such a good time together. We talked about his school work and his children and many other things." "He told me he had made arrangements to buy a small farm to raise Hereford cattle, he had already made the down payment", She said.

By Nathaniel 10X DALLAS, Texas — Finding friends of Leo Cameron was an easy task. He had many. His good deeds also seemed to be countless. His enemies — no matter how few they seemed to be — they left his body riddled with bullets. As Muhammad Speaks dug into the fabric of the slain man's history, the path eventually led to Bishop College. This was his last stop in the Black community before his death. In exclusive interviews with Bishop College students and faculty, Muhammad Speaks l e a r n e d of C a m e r o n ' s outstanding role as an educator. We also talked to three students from Denison, Texas, Camerson's hometown), whose admission to Bishop College was also a

direct result of the hard dedicated work of Leo Cameron. All the students were shocked at Cameron's death. However, the comments of 21 - year old sophomore Richard Bryant, perhaps shows clearly the nightmarish horror of the whole tragedy. "JUST TO WAKE up in the middle of the night, and flash — like that (on the radio, hear the news of his death). And you just saw him that day — he was on campus." Bryant declared. This was unbeilivable. But to hear that his teacher and "personal friend" was' "drunk" and involved in a shoot - out this Bryant emphasized was outrageous. "Thats what shocked me! I know he didn't drink," he said. (Continued en page 8)

The week before, some 50 demonstrators were arrested as they marched, without a parade permit, toward Brockey's house. The arrests have left the labor dispute in shambles. A Monday night check of the downtown Rich's late shopping store found no pickets outside, but the store was crowded with shoppers inside. A domestic employee in the wealthy Buckhead neighborhood described the scene outside Brockey's house as a pitiful sight, "It's a shame to see our people out there shouting and acting like fools in front of them white folks houses". Abernathy made a plea Monday night to the striking workers to end the picketing. Abernathy called on the Community Relations Commission to reopen

Form organization against repression MUHAMMAD SPEAKS

JUNE 1,1973

By Chester Sheard CHICAGO - A gathering of more than 700 organizations met in Chicago recently to' found, what they called "A National Defense Organization Against Racist and Political Repression." THE MEETING attempted to formulate an organization which, in essence, would be geared towards ending the growing fear of the rising "tide of repression through a united, nationally coordinated effort." Although to this writer, the conference seemed to be dominated by Socialistinfluenced participants (this thought supported by the presence of such Socialist notables as Angela Davis, H a r r y Winston, Claude Lightfoot, Charlene Mitchell and Attorney John Abt), other ideologies and political avenues of thought were present. Clyde Bellecourt, eloquent spokesman for the American Indian Movement (AIM); Rev. Ben Chavis, young minister who vividly represents the persecution oppressed Blacks suffer in North Carolina; Anthony Russo, recently acquitted in the Pentagon Papers trial which exposed hypocritical United States

foreign policies; Dolores Huerta of the National Farm Workers Union and Third W o r l d o p p o s i t i o n to governmental oppression. THE THREE-DAY meeting, held at the Pick Congress Hotel, was devoted primarily to workshops which were designed to come up with programs that could deal effectively with the following areas: the prison system, police brutality, repressive l e g i s l a t i o n a g a i n s t the common man, immigration and naturalization laws against the foreign born, a t t a c k s on t h e l a b o r movement, military injustice and repression of political organizations and individuals. As the keynote speaker for the event, Angela Davis, whose acquittal of involvement in an attempted California jail break, in which a judge and two convicts were killed, was m a d e p o s s i b l e by the formation of a national and international united front of people which pressured courts for a dismissal of charges against her, gave one of the most inspiring speeches heard to date. IN HER CALL for another such united front, Miss Davis said, "Repression today is more conspicuous than ever

before, it is open, it is systematic and it contains a deadly potential. All around us we see our l e g i t i m a t e movements against an unjust, racist status quo coming under severe attack. "We are concerned that this repression is led by the most criminal government in our nation's history, a government that stands accused before the world of burglary, theft, bribery, obstruction of justice

and related crimes. We are fearful that the government will continue to shift the blame for society's ills from their perpetrators onto their victims." Bellecourt, Russo and Huerta gave very detailed speeches of the extent of their respective movements and the problems they face with the g o v e r n m e n t ' s acts of repression. Many things were left undone

and this was to be expected, since the participatory crowd was almost triple what the original planning committee expected. HOWEVER, A STEERING committee of 100 people was expected to co-ordinate future p l a n s for the n a t i o n a l movement which was empowered to assimilate efforts, choose a name for the organization and move in a decisive manner on resolutions suggested in the series of workshops. It was a well-conducted conference, motivated .by a sincere desire by hundreds of people, representing thousands more at home, to hold back racist and political repression in the United States.

Colombia hits drug pushers BOGOTA, COLOMBIA—The Colombian government has begun a stepped up "war" against the narcotics traffic here. There are almost daily arrests of dope pushers, as the government moves to prevent the drug traffic from getting a firm foothold in the country.

Exclusive interview building just don't do very goals of Nation to us. We will also give them M.S.: Prior todiscusses his alliance have, weproblems, By Minister George 4X much with it. some immediate skills. But NEW ORLEANS - Stokely Carmichael said Ghana, Jesse Jackson said Liberia, now Roy Innis says Uganda. INNIS HAS JOINED the ranks of Pan-Africanists who advocate Blacks in America sending money, skills and manpower to Africa. He is currently recruiting Black professionals to go to Uganda to work, to help develop that nation. Innis, as other leaders who promote various African nations, has seemingly accepted an African leader to promote to American Blacks, rejecting Black nation building at home. Some people view these leaders, two of whom are not natives of America, as not showing sufficient respect for the ability of the Black man in America to do for himself. MUHAMMAD SPEAKS interviewed Innis in New Orleans where he spoke at a program sponsored by the "Save Black Schools Project" at Southern University. The following is an edited transcript of that interview M.S.: The information that we get in this country about Africa is tainted and bad, so from what many people and reports we've had about Uganda, and from what we've seen of (President Idi) Amin since he's been in, there've been some good things and then some bad things. INNIS: It seems contradictory I must admit. Before I went to Uganda, I myself raised some questions. But after meeting the man, and understanding his logic and understanding that he's playing with "crackers," I tell you, this man — I told him, you've got to write a book, because he's got an art in dealing with "crackers" and getting what he wants out of them and discarding them when he's ready — this type of thing. He's been more successful at that than any other Black "dude" I can put my hand on, on the continent. M.S.: Is there any American economic development in Uganda at all? INNIS: Not now. The little remaining behind is under the A.I.D. Program. M.S.: That's not economic development. INNIS: That's right. That's a different can of worms altogether. M.S.: President Amin is now getting aid from countries like Libya? INNIS: And Saudi Arabia. He and (Col. Muamar) Qadafi are pretty "tight."

with Col. Qadafi, he had an alliance with Israel. Is that I brought back some clothes from Uganda and since I came correct? INNIS: That is very correct. back, every day I've tried to He needed some concrete things. Like he needed some jets, and he couldn't get them from the Americans. The

Soviets were playing their particular g a m e ; they wouldn't give them to him either. He got jets from Israel. He got his paratroopers trained, at least the initial cadres, in Israel. He himself did paratroop training in Israel, and after he had gotten what he needed, he kicked them out. He got what he wanted from them, then kicked them out. M.S.: To get to a concrete question dealing with the recruitment, there is a question that I raise, and many other Black people raise given our situation and our condition, and our problems, and our needs for our own educated people. "Charity begins at home, and spreads abroad." INNIS: I think it is a very sound principle. I think that all of us as nationalists, Pan-Africans, or whatever we want to call ourselves, must understand that very important principle. But let me tell you one thing that I notice, why I support the idea of Black technicians going abroad. If I had my way, I will give every young Black graduate a trip into Uganda to do a year or two internship. It's very important for the psyche. Most of us have not had the opportunity to see Blacks achieve, do things on all levels. We dispose of 50 billion dollars in a year. That's several national budgets, for several countries in Africa. We dispose of it every year. With those very big factors that we

wear some item of garb that was made in Uganda. Why? As a demonstration of faith to Black people in America with so much in terms of resources that we have, to show what can be done. We don't believe that we can do. The big asset that they have that we don't have is confidence in themselves. They really believe in themselves. And you know what's surprising? They have

an unusually high degree of belief in us. They believe in us more than we believe in ourselves. We need to go because it would embarrass us. The great belief that they have in us. The "kidnapped brother" they call us. The great belief they have in us, the Black man in America. M.S.: You feel that an enthusiasm, a desire to do for self... INNIS: A belief, a belief that we can do it. M.S.: ...can be brought back from Africa? INNIS: Yes, and that would be Africa's great contribution

that they would give us an indispensable resource to come back with. That's belief in self, and belief that Black folks can do things. M.S.: Understanding this lack of motivation and belief that so many Blacks suffer from, you're totally committed to the belief that this inspiration must come from abroad? It cannot be produced here? INNIS: It can, but it can be, the process speeded up tremendously from that Black experience. To see Blacks with sovereignty. To see a Black man in his own land: the Black man on land that he owns. M.S.: One of our tremendous problems is the alienation of the m a s s e s from the professional. Taking this class to Africa, even if they get some of this that you're talking about, the confidence, the desire to do for self, do they have the means and the rapport and the mechanism to filter it down to the masses? INNIS: Yes, because that experience — first of all, I would say this, there is some risk in this venture because the people you identify have some problems. There's a problem with screening them. M.S.: After you've inculcated this class, this people, and it works, what is to be done ultimately about the problem (Continued on page 24)

N i x o n supporters lose big appetities WASHINGTON (LNS) — "I don't stand here tonight as a loser. We're here as winners and we're going to win," said President Richard Nixon at the annual GOP fundraising gala held in Washington on May 9. The $1000-a-plate event brought in $1 million, but organizers admitted that they had to give away 500 tickets to

the filet-mignon-tomato-du Barry meal due to the unappetizing pall cast by the Watergate conspiracy on many top level Republicans. Prior to the grand jury s u b p o e n a s and f o r c e d resignations of high White House officials in April, the GOP organizers had boasted that the dinner would add $2 million to their already bulging

coffers. But the troubled White House "team" put up a good show. Nixon concluded his speech by saying that he would "always remember this group tonight; remember that when the going got tough, you hung in there..." And Vice-president Agnew congratulated Nixon for "returning reason and stability to our public discourse."

Mexican government bows to guerrilla kidnappers GUADALAJARA, Mex. (LNS) — Thirty political prisoners were freed by the Mexican government and flown to Cuba as part of a deal to win the release of U.S. Consul General Terrance Leonhardy. Leonhardy, assigned to Guadalajara, was kidnapped on Friday, May 4, by a group calling themselves the People's Revolutionary Armed Forces. IN ADDITION to the release of the 30 prisoners, an $80,000 ransom was demanded — and p a i d by t h e M e x i c a n government. Leonhardy was released unharmed on May 9. The U.S. State Dept. reiterated its policy that it would not pay ransom to what they called "terrorist demands.'' While the Mexican government of President Luis Echiverria did release the 30 — 25 men and 5 women — they continued to insist that Mexico has no political prisoners, preferring to label the 30, "common bandits." However, most observers outside the E c h i v e r r i a government are willing to admit that the Mexican government does indeed hold political prisoners — many of them student and trade union leaders arrested during demonstrations which he increased in frequency since the student demonstrations in 1968 which climaxed in the Tlatelolco m a s s a c r e on October 4, 1968. More than 500 people were gunned down in Mexico City's Plaza of Three Cultures as the Army attempted to break up the demonstrations organized to protest the '68 Olympics taking place there. In the years since, there have been several more such incidents, resulting in many deaths as well as hundreds of arrests. THESE PUBLIC demonstrations, for the most part, are not reported by the U.S. press, which prefers to maintain Mexico's image as the exception in Latin America — a peaceful land of contented, picturesque peasants. With good reason Jtoo. Tourism is Mexico's rrjost profitable" industry and it is owned lock, stock and barrel by U.S. interests. Not only do U.S. interests own 90 per cent of the hotels and other toqrist services in Mexico, but 85 per cent of the tourists themselves are Americans. In addition, U.S. i n t e r e s t s dominate the Mexican economy, across the board. In 1970, there were 1.915 foreign firms operating in Mexico of which 1,080 had no

Mexican participation at all — 90 per cent of them were U.S. based. The State Department estimates U.S. investments in Mexico at $1.9 billion. Fortune Magazine pointed out in 1965 that "A U.S. company that puts its money into Mexico can be confident of avoiding most of the problems which customarily unnerve foreign investors elsewhere in Latin America. The country has gone for decades without a revolutionary change in government, the dangers of sudden expropriation are minimal and the currency is stable." While the U.S. press would like to continue to foster that p o r t r a i t , the facts a r e beginning to hint at a somewhat different future. Consul Leonhardy's kidnapping was not the first in recent years, although he was the first U.S. citizen kidnapped in recent years. IN THE PAST two years there have been at least three major kidnappings including a major industrialist, the director of Mexico's airport system and the rector of Guerrero University. A total of more than $500,000 was paid and at least 9 other political prisoners were released. The kidnappings were attributed to a small but increasingly active guerrilla group based in the state of Guerrero (where Guadalajara is situated). Guerrero is s o m e t i m e s called the "Appalachia'' of Mexico because of the abject poverty of its citizens as well as the similarity of the terrain. Until now attempts to track down the guerrillas have failed, a l t h o u g h Army harassment of the population that protects them intensifies with e v e r y a c t i o n the guerrillas take.

Attorney K e n n e t h Cockrel (Photo by Donald Mosby)

By Donald Mosby DETROIT - The Black attorney who gained an acquittal for Hayward Brown, one of the most wanted men in Detroit police history, told Muhammad Speaks it was his .opinion that if John Boyd and Mark Bethune had been tried with Brown they would have been acquitted also. "I WOULD SUSPECT," he stated, "that if the jury was prepared to render this verdict for Hayward they would have returned the same verdict for Boyd and Bethune." Attorney Kenneth Cockrel made this statement in a hastily called press conference after Brown was acquitted of four counts of assault with intent to commit murder by a Recorder's Court jury. The charges stemmed from a shooting incident last Dec. 4, in Detroit. Immediately following the shooting, Brown, along with Boyd and Bethune, became the subjects of the most intensive manhunt ever mounted by the Detroit police. BOYD AND BETHUNE died from police bullets, within 24 hours of each other, in Atlanta. Brown was captured on the campus of Wayne State University last Jan. 12. Cockrel stated that the jury acquitted Brown because they understood the concrete realities of young Brown's life. "The finest elements of this community were represented in this jury," Cockrel stated, "but what is just as important, they were the kind of people who could relate to the kinds of conditions that Hayward Brown developed under." It was this 'understanding',

by the jury, of Brown's developmental conditions which led them to the verdict they reached. He states that they understood because they came from communities quite similar to the one Brown came from. " T H E Y WERE acutely aware of the deprivation and horrors that narcotics has spawned in the community." Cockrel continued. During his testimony Brown stated that he had embarked on a crusade to eliminate dope from Black Detroit. He stated that he and his companions had made the decision to move against dope because the police weren't. "The people on that jury," Cockrel stated, "were people who lived in communities that have been victimized by the very conditions that Brown was fighting and they understood this reality." Cockrel stated that the jury understood the reality that judges and courts and the police have always been the prime oppressors of Black people. He accused the Michigan Supreme court of playing games with Black peoples' lives. "THE JURY understood these contradictions," Cockrel continued. "They understood that this continual oppression has now resulted in murder, in the form of STRESS, becoming a public relations tactic." Cockrel stated this was the case because the Mayor and his law-and-order cohorts want to grind that concept into the minds of every person in order to justify the continued existence of STRESS. "Their only reaction to criticisms," Cockrel said, "is to m a k e lukewarm pronouncements about changes that never occur, except to add additional men to STRESS." The jury understood this reality," Cockrel continued, "and they resolved, once and for all, of what should be the correct political stance for persons concerned about

humanity inside Detroit." THE MUCH HAILED verdict was only the first step in Brown's freedom fight, however. The very next day Brown and Cockrel were back in Judge George W. Crocket Jr.'s courtroom, and the next phase got underway. The question before Judge Crockett was a plea for a reduction in Brown's bond. The bond had been set at $82,000 by the Michigan Supreme Court. They gave as their reason that fact that Brown had eight capital charges pending against him. Cockrel's bond reduction plea was based on the fact that the acquittal had eliminated 50 per cent of the charges against Brown. Another question before the court was when Brown's next trial would begin and which charges would be tried first.

Brown has three more counts of assault with intent to commit murder pending against him, as well as a fourth charge of carrying a concealed weapon in a motor vechicle, which stems from an incident that happened prior to Dec. 4. THE ASSAULT charges stem from shootings which occurred on Dec. 27, and Jan. 12. The prosecutor wanted to try the Jan. 12 charges ahead of the Dec. 27 charges. One reason for this is the fact that if Brown were acquitted of the Dec. 27 charges then the Jan. 12 charges are rendered virtually meaningless. Another reason the prosecution sought to "leap frog" over the Dec. 27, charges, perhaps, is the sworn statement of Patrolman Robert Dooley, made from his bed in the Henry Ford

Hospital. In the statement Officer Dooley states that Brown did nothing, but surrender, on Dec. 27, and that he, Dooley, used Brown as a shield while shooting at other persons. Judge Crocket ruled that Brown would be tried on the. Dec. 27 charges next. He also lowered Brown's bail to $10,200 and the youthful crusader walked out of the Wayne County Jail one hour later.

JUNE 1, 1973

WOUNDED KNEE, S.D. (LNS)â&#x20AC;&#x201D;After 70 days, two deaths, and nearly 400 arrests, the occupation of Wounded Knee ended on May 8, when an agreement was reached between the Indians and the Federal government. THE SETTLEMENT came two days after Lawrence "Buddy" Lamont, an Oglala Sioux from the Pine Ridge Reservation, killed by Federal gunfire, was buried in the mass grave that held the nearly 300 Indian people who were killed in the original Wounded Knee massacre in 1893. The Indians agreed to lay down their arms and those who had warrants against them agreed to submit to arrest if the government would hold to t h e o r i g i n a l A p r i l 5,

agreement. At that time, the government agreed to a meeting with the traditional chiefs and headmen from the reservation to discuss the treaty of 1868. Under that treaty the Oglala Sioux had been promised all the land "from the east bank of the Missouri River, the south bank of the Piatt River. Little Big Horn and up to the Canadian line." Though the government has been steadily taking over more and more of that land since 1868. the Indians were never reimbursed for it. The government also agreed to discuss the present conditions on the Pine Ridge Reservation. The Justice Department is also supposed to audit the books of the corrupt tribal government of tribal

chairman Richard Wilson, the BIA and the Tribal Council. Whether the meeting between t r a d i t i o n a l chiefs and r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s of t h e government (newly appointed White House Counsel Leonard Garment and Chief of Staff General Alexander Haig were mentioned) comes off is still up in the air.

and get them." Food got very low at times, especially towards the end, when less and less people were able to back-pack food and supplies several miles into the besieged village. By the end, people were down to one meal a day of rice or beans or mashed potatoes. "People got tired a lot," said Schaeffer. Finally an agreement was reached and the Indians agreed to lay down their arms. But even the way the disarmament was "mutually" monitored, revealed the extent of the power of the U.S. government that the couple of hundred Indians had held out against. On Tuesday morning, after all the occupants of Wounded Knee had been processed, 50 federal marshals with high powered rifles, lined up to be the government's side of the monitoring force. IN CONTRAST to this strength, the Indians had four men who had been security guards during the occupation. They were frisked for weapons before they started the operation. Part of the disarmament, it turned out, was taking down the AIM flag and putting up the A m e r i c a n flag. As the American flag went up the

marshals shot off their weapons and one shot off many rounds from his automatic weapon (he had been a marine and still had his gun.) When one of the Indians made a remark to one of the others about the "ceremony" he was told by one of the marshals, "We could shoot you here right

now and say you tried to attack us." One of the things that the establishment media played up after the occupation was over was the destruction of property in the village. The white owners of the trading post, J i m and J a n Czywczynski, found their

trading post, which had sold over-priced items to the Indians, burned to the ground. The cause is not clear but it could have been started by one of the government flares that were shot off. The Indians had been using the trading post as a place for people to sleep. The white minister of the

Church of God, Orville Lansberry, found his house and garage destroyed and said to a reporter that in the 26 years that he had lived as a missionary in Chile, this had never happened to him. But though some of the "destruction" that the press centered on were things like 70 days accumulation of garbage which the Indians weren't able to dispose of, and there was some destruction the papers didn't talk about. Between the time that the occupants of Wounded Knee were being processed and the time that the permanent residents of Wounded Knee were allowed back in, BIA police, with the U.S. officials "turning their backs," went through the village, destroying a lot of Indian property. A government housing project of 20 homes, where many permanent residents lived, was broken up and decorative beadwork ripped down. The people of the Pine Ridge reservation are trying to rebuild Wounded Knee with new homes for those that were wrecked or shot up, and a grocery store that will be cooperatively run by the residents.

R u n to M u h a m m a d : a n d be g l a d y o u d i d ! By Sis. Mary E.X. Hairston Martinsville, Va. We, the followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad are so happy to have a leader and guide who has been taught by Allah. We know he is Divinely chosen and I will speak up in behalf of him. I love him and I know he loves the Black people here in the hells of North America. For more than forty years he has laid his life on the line for we, the so-called Negro in America. I tell you Black brothers and sisters, Islam is so beautiful. I am so pleased and happy to know who I am, and to be taught back to my original self and where my place is in life. We, the Black people are the Cream of the Planet Earth, and now I really feel it. When I get up in the morning with Muhammad on my mind, I start the process of cleansing for prayer. We Muslims are taught how to clean ourselves up inside and out. When we pray to Allah, we know our God is alive and He is no spook. Allah

is most merciful, and All Praises are due to Him forever. Black sisters, run to Muhammad and learn of yourself. It is time that you stop killing your babies and doing just what that white man wants you to do. Stop letting that white man make a fool of you. Sisters, stop letting your Black brothers use you. We know that if the brothers knew their rightful place they wouldn't make babies and then allow the white man to kill them and disgrace you.

Run to Muhammad — he can get you out of this hell. The Messenger is teaching the truth and it is so plain. This truth is from Allah (God) Himself and you. Black brothers and sisters, are still out there groping around, dead to the knowledge of self and kind. You might say, you go to church, not knowing that the church is where it all starts. The Black preachers are working for the white man. The white man is keeping the Black preacher down, and the preachers are

MUHAMMAD SPEAKS

WARNING During the past several weeks color snapshots have been circulated for sale bearing the photograph of o'ur Dear Saviour Allah, Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom praises are due forever. Our Beloved Leader and Teacher, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, h a s not authorized the sale of these photographs. It is not The Messenger's Teachings to commercialize on His Followers. Followers of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad are strictly forbidden to purchase these photographs. If you have any information on the person or persons who are committing this devilish act, notify Temple Number 2 immediately. These evil people are seeking financial gain for themselves by exploiting Black Brothers and Sisters who sincerely love and honor our Dear Saviour. As the Holy Qur-an teaches us in reference to obedience to Allah's Messenger: "We hear and we obey '' I suggest that the evil - doers stop this practice before they cause the anger of Allah and His Messenger to act upon them. "Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, they shall be among the most abased. "Allah has written down: I shall certainly prevail, I and My Messengers. "Surely Allah is Strong, Mighty."

keeping the Black people down. Then the white man sits back and laughs at the Black people. He knows the Messenger is teaching the Truth. Black brothers and sisters — run to Muhammad, and learn of yourself and kind. The white man's time is up and it's time that you stop playing around — partying and loving that white man and white woman, when our fore parents died because of them. The white woman has our Black brothers going crazy. Down here in the south, Black brothers have experienced pure hell, because of that white woman. The white man is putting his filthy woman off on the Black man so the Black man can fall with him in his destruction. Black brothers, get in Muhammad's Temple,fast, and take your woman with you. Stop letting your woman boss you and stop beating her. Take care of your woman and get her cleaned up, so she too can live a decent life. Stop eating that hog so you will be able to think straight and live a long life. Messenger Muhammad has the only way out of this hell we are in. Time is running out, Brothers and sisters. Wake up! Run to Muhammad's Temple and be glad you did. N o w ,

Plainly, we (Black people) in America would be all gone, dead, if it were not for this Great Man The Honorable Elijah Muhammad who was raised by the One and only True and Living God (Allah). We the Muslims who have already joined back onto o u r own, wholeheartedly thank Almighty God Allah for raising just for us, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad who makes North America a Heaven for Black men and women. The Black man in America has been humble to and submitted to everything except that which will uplift us, The Nation of Islam. He has submitted to all types of drugs to deteriorate his big healthy body. He has submitted to helping the white man disrespect our "Mother of Civilization " the woman, putting them on the streets selling them like they are still on the auction block. He has been humble to and submitted to robbing and stealing which is not our nature to do such things. He has submitted to picking up guns and other assets of violence to try to shoot and bomb his way to Freedom, Justice and Equality. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us that all of these senseless things are acts of a beast or savage.

Part I of a Series THE SKY is the most strategic point for the world to use to win in a BATTLE. For ages, mankind has settled his differences on the earth. FROM arrows, to swords, to guns to powder and shells. And now mankind goes to the sciences of poison — poisoning the air so that you would not be able to survive, as air is our dependency for our life. Without air we cannot live! SO, today, the enemy, the devil, who was made, by nature, to always want to fight, to contend with each other and others — today, they have their long and last stand, in the air... THE BATTLE IN THE SKY! THE WHITE RACE would like to poison the air of the earth — the sphere of the earth, in order to kill everything of life. This they will not be able to do! THE EARTH is a sphere shaped thing. Here in America, therefore, they could poison the atmosphere, up to 10 or 15 miles in the air. But,

on the other side of the earth's sphere, in China the people will still survive. The people on the other side of the earth (China) will not know that the air of (this) side of the earth (America) has been poisoned. ACCORDING to the measurement of the atmosphere of the earth and the gases that it emits, it will take you, (in America) a long time to put enough poison in the air to affect people in China; and for the people in China to poison and affect the air in America! BUT, if each people, on the opposite sides of the earth, (China and America) could produce enough poisoned gas, the poison from the two opposite sides of the earth, (China and America) would gradually maneuver itself around and would soon meet and make a c o l l i s i o n of the poisoned atmosphere of the planet, ..that is if each would come after the other, with the same things (poisoned gas). DUE TO ROTATION, the

AMERICA AND RUSSIA, are both shooting for a way - station out on our moon. They cannot hope to depend on our moon as a spring board.

But, as God Taught me, years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Allah, in the Person of MASTER FARD MUHAMMAD, to Whom Praises are due forever â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Taught me, and today, it has been tested: you cannot live on the moon without the atmosphere of the earth.

And the only live planets close by, that the white race would like to take over, are Mars and also Venus. But these two live planets, Mars and Venus are very hard to command! SINCE, the two planets, Mars and Venus, contain life similar to our self; the life on Mars, we, (the Black Man) have a knowledge of, but the life on Venus, we do not have a correct answer for. We cannot say that Allah (God) Would Arm either Mars or Venus, to aid us in a war against an enemy. The life on Mars and Venus, would aid us if Allah Desired them to. BUT, Allah Does Not need aid from outside the earth, for the enemy is not enough for the Black Scientists, who are called Angels. One of these Black Scientists (Angels) could take care of the whole thing. Allah (God) Is All Wise!

Student urges By Bro. Lt. Dean X University of Islam No. 10 It was April 1st, 1555 when the Black man landed in the wilderness of North America in Jamestown, Va. That was a little more than 418 years ago. Now we are more than 100 years up from slavery and the Black man and woman in America cannot identify with their own. For the last 42 years, our Leader and Teacher, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad has been teaching the Black man and woman in America what our "own" is. We are so blind, deaf and dumb that we do not recognize this revelation. We do not see ourselves in the picture because we do not know ourselves. So we are indeed in need of reformation. We are indeed in need of someone to teach us about ourselves and we have that someone in the personage of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Black man and woman, visit the nearest Muhammad's Temple of Islam in your area and identify with that Message of Truth, as taught by

return to own' the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and join in the ranks with the F.O.I, and the M.G.T.G.C.C. and help raise our 30 million brothers and sisters in the wilderness of North America.

By Larry 5X SAN FRANCISCO - Muhammad University of Islam No. 26, recently held its Third Annual Educational Banquet at the Masonic Auditorium, here. Whatever other local Temple affairs take place during the year, the Educational Banquet is always the grandest, the jubilee occasion of the season. It always promises the best, most distinguished entertainers and some of the more fiery and dynamic r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. This year's Banquet was true to the legacy of the past. The spacious Masonic Auditorium echoed with celebration, and praise for the Messenger of Allah. Heading the impressive line-up of appearances was Brother John Handy, one of San Francisco's resident impresarios of Black music. Handy embellished the Banquet's festival air with mixtures of sound and cadence that continually delighted the audience. Another special guest of the Banquet, singer Billy Paul, featured selections from his recent albums, "360 Degrees Of Billy Paul" and "Going East." On stage, the celebrated Black, entertainer revealed his familiarity and experience doing Muslim benefit programs as a young amateur performer. And it was perhaps these fond recollections which moved him in tribute to the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad: "Its hard struggling to get to the top. You have to have something to believe in, something to hold onto... I held onto the Messenger, and I won," the celebrated six million record seller proclaimed. Highlighting the affair was a lecture by the evening's principal speaker, Minister Abdul K a r i e m , Muhammad's Temple No. 27, Los Angeles. On the them of "Education Or MisEducation For The Blackman," the lecture went deep into the meaning and science of educating, and brilliantly revealed the relationship between the correct education for the B l a c k m a n â&#x20AC;&#x201D; w h i c h is t h e Messenger's teachings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the boundless success and progress of the Nation of Islam. Other distinguished guests of the Banquet included Mel Stewart, star of TV's "All In The Family," Dr. Ann Redmon, Educational Consultant and member of the Benecia. California School Board, who is a processing Muslim; Sister Sonia 5X (Sanchez), Authoress and Educator, from New York City. Proceeds will benefit Muhammad University of Islam No 26. San Francisco.

A f r i c a n Liberation ...new escapism? WASHINGTON, D.C. - Last y e a r , in an e u p h o r i c demonstration of "Pan Africanism," several Africanist-oriented groups and thousands of individuals expended tremendous verbal and kinetic energy in a daylong tortuous march and songfest in support of "African Liberation Day." THE EVENT marked for some, the culmination of the efforts of America's Black Pan - Africanists (all of various persuasions ) in drawing attention to the individual Africanist groups and symbolically expressing solidarity with the African liberation movements. While the crowd size—estimated at 65,000 by the o r g a n i z e r s , w a s impressive—beyond the symbolic gesture of unity with Africa, the demonstration

" T h e r e s u l t s of the Mississippi primary elections must be considered a signal victory in our continuing struggle for true representation for Blacks in the American body politic," commented Georgia State Representative Julian Bond, SEF Board Chairman. "The process of Blacks presenting themselves for election — especially in areas of large Black population density — will continue and it will inevitably change and better conditions for the entire South," Bond added. Black candidates won nomination to posts ranging from alderman to county commissioner and it is remarkable that in Clarksdale, Miss., a city with a clear majority of white voters, one Black alderman was safely named and a second will participate in a run - off election with his nearest opponent. "The Mississippi victory of two - thirds of the Black candidates supported by SEF clearly supports our premise that a new South is emerging and^ that supporting Black candidates for election to public office is a positive and dynamic step in strengthening our entire d e m o c r a t i c process," declared Yancey Martin, SEF Executive Director. While two Blacks won the fight to particiapte in run - off elections for mayor in Shaw

"I'm sorry—I don't recognize any of them and Woodville, there were charges of a number of election irregularities. In Areola, for example, where there is a clear Black majority and many B l a c k s are registered, two Black incumbents were renominated while two new Black candidates were defeated in what has been called a questionable counting procedure. An aldermanic race is being contested in Jonestown and glaring irregularities involving faculty identification of candidates and slates on ballots and other gross procedural errors were noted in Jonestown and Shaw. ACCORDING TO SEF National Political Director, Paul Cobb, who was an on - the - spot observer in several counties and cities during the primary elections, "It is quite apparent that some of the irregularities noted were the direct result of malfeasance and malice. "When you have a white slate receiving what is tantamount to all the Black votes cast and the Black slate receiving all the white votes in Mississippi, something has obviously gone awry with the polling system. All candidates in contests where irregularities have been noted are being encouraged to

challenge the election results. They will receive the full support of SEF," he added. The Southern Elections Fund has m a d e f i n a n c i a l contributions to the campaigns of some 71 Black men and w m e n running in the Mississippi primaries and in the forthcoming general elections June 5. T h i s is t h e l a r g e s t involvement ever made in a single state by the SEF which is dedicated to providing financial aid and technical assistance to Black and liberal candidates for local public office in the eleven southern states of the old Confederacy.

College job bias CHICAGO - A recently released report of the Illinois Board of Higher Education charges the heads of Illinois colleges and universities with thwarting federal guidelines for equal opportunity in employment.

African despot trades country's freedom to South African settlers

DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania — The recent seizure of absolute power and outlawing of constitutional rights within his country by longtime Swaziland Monarch Sobhuza II, followed by detention of well-known Swaziland leaders, including opposition party head and militant P a n Africanist Dr. Ambrose Zwane, has been called "a victory for South Africa" by a spokesman for the embattled forces here. "THIS TREACHERY by the King has set the whole Southern Africa struggle back," a spokesman for the

recently banned Ngwane National Liberatory Congress (NNLC) told this reporter. "South Africa told the Swaziland government some time ago that if they wanted support for the regime they would have to make such a move, suspending all South African refugees and freedom fighters associated with such organizations as the PAC (PanAfrican Congress), and ANC (African National Congress) taking asylum there. "The suspension of the constitution and refugees in Swaziland came in the same day," he continued. The 73-year old Ngwenyama (King) — whose rule under the traditional styled Imbokodo Party has been staunchly backed by Pretoria and a powerful white s e t t l e r community in Swaziland since independence in 1968 — banned all parties and declared a return to his personalized version of the traditional African chieftancy system last month. The aged monarch blamed the d r a s t i c m e a s u r e on " i n t e r f e r e n c e with the traditional authority of the N g w e n y a m a (King) by Westminister type institutions.". Earlier this month, everls took a turn for the worst for progressive elements when Dr. Ambrose Zwane, who heads the militantly nationalistic NNLC, was arrested along with three other politicians under a 60-day dentention law built into the power play last month. A spokesman for the King said the political leaders were guilty of "contravening the King's decree by holding p o l i t i c a l m e e t i n g s and conducting themselves as if their party still exists." The long arm of Pretoria was clearly visible in the crises as evidenced by the dispatching of the Ngwenyama's Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Zonke Khumalo, to the South African capitol on a "secret mission" three weeks prior to the takeover.

South-West Africa

According to the NNLC spokesman, "Swaziland has no army, so six months ago South African Prime Minister, Vorster trained a a personal army of 300 men for the King, in order to sustain the r e g i m e in c a s e of retaliation for his actions. In any case, however. Vorster has made it clear that he is prepared to send in troops." PRIOR TO his detention. Dr. Zwane had this to say about the captive position of his country. "We believe what we have attained in Swaziland is not genuine independence but a false independence based on a

double minority rule — the feudal minority of chiefs and a white settler minority." Swaziland's domination by white supremacist forces is further underscored by the fact that the country does not have its own currency, but chooses to use the South African Rand instead. The present situation in this

attempt to maintain his hereditary rule over a kingdom whose effective power was broken before his birth. ALTHOUGH overshadowed by the a f o r e m e n t i o n e d interplay of forces, the i m m e d i a t e situation in Swaziland which led to the assumption of near dictatorial powers by Sobhuza was a m u r d e r scandal deeply implicating the royal family. The scandal was set off by Sobhuza s son-in-law who is also a member of Parliament representing the King's Imbokodo Party. The affair could have been discreetly swept under the royal rug had it not been for the "interference" of Dr. Zwane's progressive party. The NNLC became the first opposition party in the country's history last year after winning three parliamentary seats in the face of the overwhelming power of the Ngwenyama.

The nationalist party has repeatedly raised the issue of corruption which permeates the ruling Imbokodo party. Unlike any conventional political party, the King's party is composed mostly of royal family members with a few exceptions being those MP's linked by marriage to the' royal bloodline. NOT LONG AGO the NNLC exposed the embezzlement of a h u g e f o r t u n e by t h e Imbokodo's High Commissioner in London, totalling more than $300 million. Other high officials of the party were also implicated in the case. However, punishment for the offense was the mere recalling of the diplomat. The seriousness with which the Ngwenyama regarded this threat to the credibility of traditionalist rule came in January when the Swaziland Attorney General issued a statement warning: "It has come to my notice

that certain false rumors are being d i s s e m i n a t e d in Swaziland to the effect that prominent members of the government are involved in the gruesome medicine murder. Any who repeats or spreads it will be committing a serious criminal offense and liable to criminal prosecution. " THE RECENT detentions were not the first' repressive measures to be directed against the leadership of the NNLC. An NNLC candidate who captured a seat in Parliament held by a member of the King's family, was suddenly declared a " p r o h i b i t e d immigrant" and bodily thrown out of the country. He later regained his post after long drawn out appeals through the courts. The Ngwane N a t i o n a l Liberatory Congress (NNLC), has been a force in the country since 1960 with a solid base among the workers in white-

owned mines and industries, and to some extent in rural areas. Always staunchly PanAfricanist and anti -South

Africa in outlook, the NNLC struck fear in the hearts of Swaziland's white settler community with its staging of massive strikes during the preindependence struggle.

WASHIINGTON (LNS) - As part of their move to the "New Volunteer Army," the military is planning to spend more than $80 million on advertising in the fiscal year beginning July 1, according to Advertising Age, the trade magazine for Public Relations. " T H E HOUSE A p p r o priations Committee has before it proposals for $34 million for the Army, $24,900,000 for the Navy. $17,100,100 for the Air Force and $7,400,000 for the Marines...none of which has been questioned by House A r m e d S e r v i c e s or Appropriations Committee members." With the increase in the military's advertising budget, ad agencies are scrambling for the accounts. "This is a pretty important mission for the United States." said one ad

man. Now that they can no longer depend on a draft system to fill their ranks, some of the services are looking for agencies with a "with-it" slant to reach more prospective recruits. But the Marines are sticking with their old agency. For 27 years, the Marine Corps has employed the J. Walter Thompson Company to conduct its recruiting campaign. H.R. Haldeman, Nixon's newlyresigned Chief of Staff, and Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler both used to work for J. Walter Thompson. (Haldeman got his s t a r t with an insecticide account.) Lt. Col. E C . Johnson, the M a r i n e in c h a r g e of recruitment, said that the Marines put "full confidence" in their agency.

Israel alliance with South Africa

MUHAMMAD SPEAKS

CHICAGO-In the midst of all the turmoil erupting in the Middle East between Israel and Arab nations, very little is known of the intricate, repulsive involvement which the aggressive state of Israel is carrying on with the racist regime of South Africa. WHILE JEWS are pretending to be the victim of unjustified attacks upon their desire for a place to live and make a home, very little is said about the Israeli military and economic involvement with South Africa— an involvement which has bolstered the power of a nation festering with the cancerous attitude of white supremacy in a land where whites represent a population minority. With the help of Western countries and Israel, South Africa has been able to forcefully restrain the rightful owners of the land from obtaining their freedom. Israel has not seen fit to compare their "plight" with that of the non -whites of South Africa, mainly because they hope their ruthless drive for economic and material gains can be used to force their acceptance into the "white" monied world. This desire has them performing all sorts of devious maneuvers against Black people all over the African continent. THE GROWING alliance between Israel and South Africa has been made possible principally by the agreeable support of the United States Government. This triangle of collusion plays a very dangerous role against the existence of independent African nations and the peace of Africa in general. Israel had the support of South Africa in its aggression against the Arabs in 1967. At least 800 "volunteers" were granted permission to go to Israel to fight on her side under the guise of aiding in the fight against communism. SOUTH AFRICA was so impressed by the efficiency of the Israeli army in that skirmish, that they have since been working closely with the Israeli military staff to plan similar attacks on neighboring Black nations which are attempting to eliminate the racist regime through guerrilla warfare. Since 1967, Israel has been expanding its arms trade.Although South Africa is now producing jet fighter bombers in its Atlas Aircraft Corporation plant near Johannesburg, Israel has been supplying South Africa with aircraft. They know full well that South Africa plans to eventualljf use the aircraft Qtrainct

ACCORDING TO the general director of the Israeli war industry department, Israel exported five times as many arms in 1970 as it did in 1967. Its biggest customer has been South Africa. This year it is expected that Israel will supply South Africa with $20 million worth of arms even though it is widely known that the "country is now like a gigantic arms depot." Military allocations in the last ten years have increased almost seven times, reaching nearly $500 million in 1972. Spending for arms alone comes to a staggering $150 million a year. Through Belgium, Israel has worked out a deal with South Africa to produce UZI submachine-guns. In return,* the South African government has been supplying Israel with tanks and napalm to be used against Arab nations. THESE HEAVY arms supply deals are made possible through support from abroad, because it is impossible for Israel to arm itself on the scale where it can supply arms to other nations and yet take care of its own mountainous military "needs." A deal worked out between Washington and Tel Aviv has given Israel access to many of the military secrets which a U.S. company, General Telephone and Electronics, possessed. This enabled Israel to work out an arms supply agreement with South Africa which will help the Israelis reap fantastic profits over the next few years. WHILE MILITARY cooperation between South

Africa and Israel is kept as quiet as possible, their expanding economic ties are well known. From 1966-1970, Israel's exports to South Africa rose almost five times, reaching a total of $10.7 million. This does not include their trade in diamonds. In 1972, from rough diamonds procured in South Africa, Israel was able to export $300 million worth of polished diamonds. The two countries have also

After Germany's defeat in World War II, many Nazi criminals, especially scientists who had worked on methods of mass extermination, were able to find refuge in South Africa.

Metcalfeblasts Cam bodia

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rep. Ralph H. Metcalfe D—111., today, sharply criticized the Department of Defense for continuing the bombing of Cambodia and called for the passage of an amendment to the Second Supplemental Appropriations Bill which was b e f o r e the H o u s e of Representatives today. The proposed amendment would eliminate the funds for the bombing of Cambodia. METCALFE SAID that "As a government we have many obligations, one of which is not to become the world's Supercop, but that is just what we have done." The Congressman went on to point out that the Defense Department seemed to be oblivious to the intentions of Congress and that this Congress should stand fast and not allow itself to play second fiddle to this "singularly

Metcalfe also brought to mind the tragedies that this country has suffered since it escalated its activities in Southeast Asia, and especially Cambodia. The Congressman further stated that the bombing, according to the Air Force, was costing more than $1.8 million per day, and "that comes to something over $52 million per month or just under $625 million per year. This at a time when we are not able to feed, house, employ and medically care for all of the people in the richest country on the face of the earth." Metcalfe concluded by saying "It is past the time that we should have started to reorder the priorities of this, our, country. It is past the time, but it is not too late for us to do something about it. We must act now if we are to leave our children a decent place in which to live." This, he said, is

At one point, Johnson, YOBU, s p o k e s m a n , called for discussion on the "dynamics of day to day work," but little response followed.

When the question of the Watergate affair arose, it was q u i c k l y d i s m i s s e d by Carmichael as the evils of capitalism — under socialism or communism, he implied, nothing of the sort could happen.

WASHINGTON, D. C. — Black Journal's "Black Leader's 1973" show, shown coast-to-coast on the Public Television network, has to be assessed as near 90 minutes of abstruse discussion of "pet" economic theories, irrelevant ideologies and vague committments to a "diversity in unity" theme. The discussion was marked by commission omission and a ground swell of rhetoric. THE SHOW however, the second such attempt by Black Journal's director, Tony Brown was a "technological" s u c c e s s and a m a r k e d i m p r o v e m e n t over the technical difficulties which arose during the first attempt one year ago. Nevertheless, the espousal of irrelevant ideologies and the profusion of rhetoric was back again to haunt the show, as the participants appeared to favor abstract theoretical discussion over discussion of practical realities and demonstrated guidelines for success and unity. At one point Brown attempted to rescue the discussion from getting hopelessly bogged down in debate over ideologies. He asked whether or not the N a t i o n of I s l a m had demonstrated the kind of a p p r o a c h to unity and collective economic e n d e a v o u r s w h i c h the "leaders" had alluded to as the 1)3sic needs PERCY SUTTON, Manhattan Borough President replied, "Yes, the Nation of Islam does move toward that which we would all like to see." But he suggested that "there were not enough b e l i e v e r s , " and proceded to engage the other participants in the discussion of theoretical approaches. The other participants passed over in silence this momentary break in "their" monologue on unity and ideology in the abstract.

B l a c k Communications

By Samuel 17X CHICAGO - "Communications for Liberation" was the central theme of a three day conference held at the Shoreland Hotel last week. More than 300 delegates attended the conference, which was organized under the auspices of the First National Black Students Communications Conference. SEVERAL SPEAKERS addressed the conference. They included Black journalist Lu Palmer, Rev. Charles Koen, writer Pamela Douglas, and others. "If you're serious about waht you're doing as future Black communicators," Palmer, keynote speaker said, "what you're doing will have a profound effect on the future." Palmer warned the delegates that if they are going to become serious communicators they must not be "interested in obtaining jobs with companies like NBC so you can tell your friends, T work for NBC!' If you are (interested in doing that) you'll become part of the process." He defined the "process" as a m e a n s of utilizing communications to oppress certain people. Instead of joining such a process, he urged them to build what he considers "an alternative communications system." Rev. Koen, speaking as a "special guest", described for

the conference how a national Black magazine suppressed a story of vital interest to Blacks because of pressure from the governor of the state. The

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; "The time is past when United States companies can operate without being asked about their role and operations in South Africa." WITH THIS statement coming from the president of the National Council of Churches, religious activists have served notice of their concern with the role of American corporations overseas. The point of attack is emanating from specific religious groups who are attempting to force major United States corporations to reveal their involvement in the development and production of weapons systems, and in their investments in racist Southern Africa. An organization called Clergy and Laymen Concerned (CALC) is focusing on corporate concerns as a direct outgrowth of the Viet Nam war. "The war in Southeast Asia

has revealed in dramatic ways the interrelationship among business, military, and governmental policies," CALC said in a recent paper entitled, "Indochina: the Aftermath." THE ORGANIZATION, which claims 41,000 members and is one of the largest religious anti-war groups, noted that considerable opposition has been directed against Honeywell, Inc. for its role in "the development and production of anti-personnel weapons." According to the anti-war group, "Even if peace is maintained the deployment of these weaponss during this war suggests that their production can be neither morallly nor legally justified; so the organization will continue to press Honeywell to cease and desist from developing and producing anti-personnel weapons." Past campaigns have taken the form of demonstrations at Honeywell stockholders' meetings, as

"But that story was suppressed," he said, because the governor didn't want the people to see that the United Front had scored a victory. Koen joined Palmer in calling for an alternative communications system, or process. Both Koen and Palmer make the error of ignoring Muhammad Speaks as an alternative communication process, by their definition.

DELEGATES represented colleges and universities in such states as New York, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Washington, D.C., and Missouri. Seven workshops were c o n d u c t e d during the conference. They were Radio Television - Cable TV; Motion Picture - Photography Cinema; Creative Writing Publishing - Library; Journalism - Public Information; Advertising Arts and Graphics; Dance and Theatre; and Music. The w o r k s h o p s were conducted by Ted Albright, radio; Melvyna Gaynor, motion picture; George Bailey, creative writing; Dee Smith, journalism; Myrna Gaddif, advertising; Dexter Johnson, dance; and Mark Stampley, music. AT THE FINAL general session, reports were received from the seven workshops. The Cable - T.V. workshop reported that it would work to establish a model cable television station, to set up advocates in the areas of research and cable t.v., and to purchase subscriptions to Black X - Press, a new newspaper. The radio workshop reported that it would print a newsletter for Black communicators, geared toward "coming up with information" on how to make radio programs for Blacks more relevant. THE MOTION PICTURE workshop reported that it

students meet would develope an outline for national Black film - makers guild and a plan for developing a training program. The workshop also will seek to establish an international film makers guild. The c r e a t i v e w r i t i n g workshop reported that it would work to establish a model, bi - annual literary publication, to be presented at the Black World Arts Festival in Nigeria in 1975. The journalism workshop reported that it would work to establish a newsletter, which would serve a national audience of Black journalists. The advertisement workshop reported that it would establish a list of Black professional advertisement people, and set up a local and n a t i o n a l n e t w o r k of communications for Black advertisers.

THE DANCE workshop reported that it would work to establish and develop Black communications among Black people in dance and drama. The workshop's chairman. Harold Johnson, said that it had called for discontinuation of the Drama Department of Chicago's Kennedy - King College. Johnson said the workshop had also urged that the head of the drama department, Dr. Adrian Rehner, resign. Rehner, a white man, has been charged with unfairness because of hiring a theatre company whose members are 50 per cent white even though the school is 90 per cent Black. He's also charged with focusing on presenting plays at the school which tend to promote European culture rather than Black culture. (Continued on page 30)

NEW YORK (LNS) - Early on the morning of April 10, several hundred I s r a e l i soldiers landed on a deserted beach in Bierut. The Israeli forces split into three groups. THE FIRST headed towards Verdun Street, where they broke into the homes of three Palestinian resistance leaders: Kamal Adwan, a member of the executive committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, in charge of all operations inside the I s r a e l i - occupied territories; Kamal Nasser, poet, writer, and official PLO spokesman; and Mohammed Yussef Najar (Abu Yussef), PLO executive committee member and head of the political department. All three men were killed by the raiders, along with Abu Yussef's wife and several guards. The second group of Israelis attacked the headquarters of the Democratic Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine ( D P F L P ) , not far from Verdun Street, but they met with strong resistance and were unable to inflict much damage. THE THIRD group went to Saida, a city about forty miles from Beirut, where they blew up a garage and a hardware store belonging to the Resistance and killed several civilians in the process. Having completed these "shinning pages in history," as Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir called the raid, the Israelis left by sea. Only 20 days after the Israeli raid, fighting broke out between the Palestinian Resistance and the Lebanese Army. According to the Lebanese press, the fighting was the heaviest since 1969; it broke out afters several days of confrontations, beginning with the arrests of three armed guerrillas at Beirut International Airport and four others who were apprehended with bombs near the American Embassy. The army, claiming it was acting in self-defense, moved in and occupied the quarters where the Resistance offices are located and requested permission to move into their refugee camps, supposedly to portect the refugees. On May 1, a DPFLP leader was arrested; two Lebanese soldiers were kidnapped and held as hostages in exchange

for the detained commandos. THE NEXT day fighting broke out around the refugee camps, and the day after, it spread to the south of Lebanon and along the eastern border with Syria. Thousands of Palestinian guerrillas based in Syria were reported to have crossed the border to join those in Lebanon. By the third day May 3, the army was attacking the camps with air force jets. Two ceasefires ended in failure; finally, after six days of fighting, with more than 100 commandos and 30 soldiers killed, a third ceasefire was imposed. The April 10 Israeli raid into Beirut did not represent anything new or surprising in the basic Israeli strategy which has been implemented for more than a year: striking at the Palestinian Resistance not only inside of Israel but in Arab countries (and Europe as well). THIS STRATEGY has two purposes: first, to physically eliminate the Palestinian guerrillas, which has attempted terrorism through a s e r i e s of r a i d s a n d assassinations; second, and more important, to spread terror in the countries which support the Palestinians and thus to p r e s s u r e their governments to contain the resistance and come ardund to a settlement on Israel's terms. What the Beirut raid made clear, however, is that Israeli pressure has succeeded in f o r c i n g the L e b a n e s e government to crack down on the Palestinian Resistance. In the days following the raid, both the P a l e s t i n i a n

Resistance and the Lebanese Progressive and Nationalist parties made specific charges of government complicity: They pointed out, first of all, that only 10 days before the Israeli raid, Lebanese authorities had assured the Resistance that Beirut was protected and that radar installations along the coast would warn of any Israeli movements. When the Israelis landed on the beach, however, they met with no resistance from the Lebanese, who claimed that the radar did not show their approach. In addition, the raiders were able to land in darkness because of unexplained electricity blackouts along the beach. The resistance also charged that just a few hours before the raid, telephones in their offices in Beirut and Saida were cut off, again for no apparent reason. During the raid, they pointed out the Israelis stayed in the country for more than two hours without any serious resistance from the Lebanese army. They were able to spend twenty minutes searching the apartment of Kamal Adwan, even though a mobile battalion of internal security forces was located less than 50 meters (approximately 55 feet from Verdun street.) When Palestinian guerrillas attempted to encircle the raiders, they were obstructed by Lebanese security forces, and several Palestinians were even arrested. In the wake of the raid, the Lebanese government took steps to cover up their complicity and minimize public reaction.

OAU to convene in Addis Ahaha

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The tenth annual meeting of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) will convene in Addis Ababa on May 27 when 41 heads of state and many observers from independent and dependent African nations converge. Laying the groundwork for the conference will be a six day meeting of foreign ministers who will be focusing on major issues affecting the African continent. Some of the main items on the delegates' agenda for the ministers' meeting will be decolonization of Zimbabwe, Namibia, Mozambique, Guinea - Bissau and South Africa.

Much stress will be put on inter - African cooperation in economic and social fields, financial obligations by member - states and increased aid for liberation movements. Since the inception of the OAU on May 25, 1963, member states have deligently worked toward African unity. They have attempted to adhere to its basic purpose of building an organization which would reinforce the ties between states by establishing and strengthening common institutions. This year the meeting will be interrupted for its 10th anniversary celebration which will be honored throughout the world with festivities.

P e d d l i n g c h e a p b i r t h By Leroy 23X NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; America's fear of the growing Black population is matched by the fears of the white minority in South Africa who seek to reduce the size of the Black majority there. TWO RECENT articles a p p e a r i n g in m e d i c a l magazines give some insight into what is happening to the Bantu People under the vicious rule of the South African government. In the March April 1973 issue of Society magazine, David Mechanic w r i t e s of " A p a r t h e i d M e d i c i n e , " and how preventive health care clinics among the Bantus suffer from lack of funding and personnel. The only exception is the birth elimination programs which receive top priority. "Birth control programs," Mechanic w r i t e s , " are probably more enthusiastically implemented than any other by the authorities, and wherever I went, this facet of prevention was emphasized. This is no surprise since the white community fears the growing Black population and would like to limit their fertility. "Although many Black women are agreeable to birth control, existing conditions make others in the Black community cautious. The main strength of the Blacks in South Africa, they maintain, is in their numbers, and they are reluctant to support efforts to control their population.

Similarly, women are frequently hesitant about limiting their fertility when so many of their younger youngsters die." For those Black women of South Africa who do agree to the birth elimination scheme of the whites, there is the possiblity that they will be given intra - uterine devices (IUD). These devices are inserted at welfare clinics. However, these devices are not in the best interest of the welfare of the women because all (IUD's) carry the risk of some serious side effects particularly the one of perforation of the uterus. In a case reported in the July, 1972 issue of the South African Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, an IUD is reported to have caused the death of a Black South African woman. The a r t i c l e , e n t i t l e d "Complications Due to Lippe's Loop," page 45, listed fifteen cases of Bantu women who were treated at the Baragwanath Hospital in South Africa over a period of 18 months. In one case the Lippes Loop punched a hole in the uterus and wrapped around the woman's appendix. In another case, of a 21 - year old Bantu woman, the IUD moved partially out of the uterus and into the bladder. Surgey was necessary to remove this device in both cases. But, in the case of the woman who died the loop was removed the day after it was

admitted on Jan. 20, 1970... the patient had developed low abdominal pain the night after a Lippe's loop had been inserted at a Township clinic on Jan. 14, 1970. "It was removed on Jan. 15, 1970 because of the pain which was constant and radiated to the back. She had also vomitted on two occasions. There was a very offensive, profuse, yellowish discharge (January 20). She was pale and feverish..." The doctor then described various examinations and treatments administered to the patient. But, despite hospitalization and treatment her condition worsened. His report continued, "On Feb. 3, 1970 the patient was still pale and the hemoglobin level was again low...the uterus and tubes were extensively discolored - black and neurotic ... on Feb. 10, 1970 she developed extreme diarrhea and melaena and died the inserted. Yet she died within a month after it was removed. The magazine article, which is actually a report by a doctor teaching at the Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg, indicates that the woman's death was due to the uterus being punctured at the time of insertion. .The doctor described the victim's case in the following excerpts from the article: "A 31 - year - old woman was

following day." The Black woman had died within 20 days after the intra uterine device had been inserted and removed. The doctor concluded that her death resulted from the Lippe's loop puncturing her uterus at the time of insertion. He w r o t e , " U t e r i n e perforations with many types of IUD have frequently been reported in literature. The device most commonly employed appears to be the Lippe's Loop and uterine perforations may occur quite soon after their introduction...painless perforations may readily occur and be missed (by the patient and doctor). This unfortunate case of a Black woman under the open, beastly rule of the South African whites is no different from what happens to many Black women under the sly, birth elimination programs in America.

M u s l i m s

This is the question asked most frequently by both the whites and the blacks. The answers to this question I shall state as simply as possible. 1. We want freedom. We want a full and complete freedom. 2. We want justice. Equal justice under the law. We want justice applied equally to all, regardless of creed or class or color. 3. We want equality of opportunity. We want equal membership in society with the best in civilized society. 4. We want our people in America whose parents cr grandparents were descendants from slaves, to be allowed to

establish

a separate

state

or territory

of their

own—either on this continent or elsewhere. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to provide such land and that the area must be fertile and minerally rich. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to maintain and supply our needs in this separate territory for the next 20 to 25 years—until we are able to produce and supply our own needs. Since we cannot get along with them in peace and

W a n t

justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or territory of our own 5. We want freedom for all Believers of Islam now held in federal prisons. We want freedom for all black men and women now under death sentence in innumerable prisons in the North as well as the South. We want every black man and woman to have the freedom to accept ot reject being separated from the slave master's children and establish a land of their own. We know that the above plan for the solution of the black and white conflict is the best and only answer to the problem between two people. 6. We want an immediate end to the police brutality and mob attacks against the so -called Negro throughout the United States We believe that the Federal government should intercede to see that black men and women tried in white courts receive justice in accordance with the laws of the land—or allow us to build a new nation for ourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom and liberty. 7. As long as we are not allowed to establish a state or

1. WE BELIEVE in the One God Whose proper Name is Allah. 2. WE BELIEVE

in the Holy

Qur-an and in the

Scriptures of all the Prophets of God. 3. WE BELIEVE in the truth of the Bible, but we believe that it has been tampered with and must be reinterpreted so that mankind will not be snared by the falsehoods that have beer added to it. 4. WE BELIEVE in Allah's Prophets and the Scriptures they brought to the people. 5. WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of the dead—not in physical

resurrection—but

in mental

resurrection. We

believe that the so -called Negroes are most in need of mental resurrection: therefore, they will be resurrected first. Furthermore, we believe we are the people of God's choice, as it has been written, that God would choose the rejected and the despised. We can find no other persons

become rich and powerful, that so many thousands of black people should have to subsist on relief, charity or live in poor houses. • 8. We want the government of the United States to exempt our people from ALL taxation as long as we are deprived of equal justice under the laws of the land. 9. We want equal education—but separate schools up to 16 for boys and 18 for girls on the condition that the girls be sent to women's colleges and universities. We want all black children educated, taught and trained by their own teachers. Under such schooling system we believe we will make a better nation of people. The United States government should provide, free, all nacessary text hooks and equipment, schools and college buildings. The Muslim-teachers shall be left free to teach and train their people in the way of righteousness, decency and self respect. 10. We believe that intermarriage or race mixing should be
