BRIEF

13 million face famine 13 MILLION people are now facing famine because of the drought in Sub-Sahara Africa. Half of these people are children younger than 15. Of the 24 million inhabitants of Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal and Upper Volta, 12 million persons are threatened. Another one million persons are in danger in Ethiopia although it is not considered a part of the region. Adding to the human suffering is the loss by drought victims of 80 per cent or more of their livestock.

Guyana adds police powers P R I M E MINISTER Forbes Burnham, "in the interests of state security and national harmony." introduced legislation that was immediately passed by the Guyana Parliament, asking that the police be given sweeping powers of arrest. The request came as a result of a call by the opposition People's Progressive Party, which was soundly defeated in elections held recently, for a civil resistance campaign to bring down the government. The legislative move was approved by President Arthur Chung.

NAACP officers removed N.A.A.C.P. OFFICIALS announced they have removed from office Lonnie King Jr., the president, and other'officers of its Atlanta branch because of their failure to oppose a controversial school desegregation plan in that city. The action was taken at a meeting of national officers in Atlanta and letters were sent to local officials there annoucing the decision. The organization named Gloster C. Current as administrator of the Atlanta office.

Mr. King has been barred from holding office for two years. An NAACP spokesman said the Atlanta officers had "settled for less than the maximum" in school desegregation and had thereby run counter to national policy.

Ask U.S. envoy ouster ARGENTINA'S house of deputies voted unanimously to ask the president to order the immediate departure from Argentina of the U.S. charge d'affaires, Max V. Krebs. A memorandum sent to Finance Minister Jose Gelbard criticizing a series of nationalistic economic measures before the Argentine Congress was the reason for asking for Krebs' ouster. The ministry said that the incidents were "incompatible with the maintenance of relations that must exist between sovereign states."

By Lonnie Kashif M.S. Washington Bureau WASHINGTON. D.C. - A handful of white women liberation zealots disrupted and delayed what had been expected to be one of the most productive panel d i s c u s s i o n s conducted during the American Bar Associations (ABA) 96th annual meeting recently held here.

IN S E E M I N G L Y coordinated fashion, white women observers attending the panel discussion on •Race.

By Lonnie Kashif M.S. Washington Bureau WASHINGTON. D.C.-Despite the current public alarm over acts of genocidal sterilization now being widely exposed and publicized, the

Dean. H.B. Reid, found himself immediately diverted from the essential issue of the discussion, a general frustration developed among the audience, and at one point a young Black delegate demanded that 'we should not be sidetracked by this issue (sexism). which is irrelevant in this discussion."

The young delegate's retorts drew nodding agreement from the Black women present, but the white women libbers, who were apparently intent upon interjecting the issues of women's rights, became incensed and continued to belabor such issues as Ms. versus Mrs and "girl versus iadv" as appellations for women DEAN R E I D . taking note of the trend of the -iudience-panei debate, arned against t«e "frao" of lumping

FROM T H E OUTSET of the convention it was evident that a strong faction of lawyers came prepared to drive through the resolutions, designed to soften up the A m e r i c a for an onslaught of permissiveness and consequential debauchery. Such laws—inadequate as they are now on the books— which offer restraints against immorality, vice and crime, if repealed in every state, will open the doors for wholesale encroachment upon the mores and morality of the Black community followed by coersive methods of conformity.

Atlanta 'movement' crumbling I n t e g r a t i o n

By Harold 4X (Special to Muhammad Speaks) ATLANTA - The Atlanta Branch of the NAACP voted behind closed doors, 22 to 6, to uphold the "Atlanta compromise school desegregation plan" which defies the National NAACP directive to oust local officers if it was not repudiated.

T H R E E NATIONAL officers — Gloster Current, director of branches and field administration; Nathaniel Jones, general counsel: and Henry Moon, public relations director of the NAACP — came to Atlanta to witness the local executive committee's voting on the national's order to repudiate the compromise plan.

Unless they voted to denounce the plan which they had drawn up with the Atlanta Board of Education, they would be removed from office and a new election called within 90 days.

In a heated meeting in which thev were accused of holding a "kangaroo court." the three national officials said in defeat that they would proceed with a plan to unseat the officers, reorganize the branch, and hold new officer elections within 90 days.

While a guard was stationed on the rear door in the basement of Union Baptist Church on Hightower. Jones threatened to terminate the meeting and report back to the national office that the local would not cooperate.

"During all these negotiations, R o y Wilkins and you were kept informed about these negotiations" and were in agreement, one board member said.

T H E R E P U D I A T I O N resolution would have directed branch officers and attorney's to "take appropriate legal action," withdrawing support of the compromise in the courts which the branch officers have approved as a settlement of a 15-year - old lawsuit.

Atlanta schools are more than 80 per cent Black. The Atlanta compromise school plan would provide desegregation in those schools now predominantly white, most cases providing for about 30 per cent Black pupils. The plan would leave some all Black schools.

The National NAACP under the guidance of Roy Wilkins has pressed for a desegregation plan that ostensibly would include more busing, more desegregation, busing students so extensively that every individual school would reflect the 8020 Black - white overall racial ratio of the entire school system.

LONNIE KING, ousted Atlanta NAACP president, was the central figure here in putting the compromise school plan together. The National NAACP lawyers made several efforts to undermine King within the Black community in Atlanta, hoping to leave him isolated.

"Times have changed since 1954," said King recently, after national NAACP officials had again demanded that the Atlanta Chapter renounce the c o m p r o m i s e p l a n , " a n d the leadership of the c i v i l rights

called the meeting at, the instructions of the board of directors of the national organization.

Members of the National integration organization at their convention in Indianapolis, Indiana voted to suspend local chapter members and instructed them to repudiate the compromise plan within 30 days or be removed from office.

King said after the meeting that legal support for the plan would not change, since he holds personal power of attorney for several plaintiffs.

I T WAS R E P O R T E D that Dr. Buell Gallagher, vice chairman of the National NAACP board of directors, claimed that the compromise "sacrifices the civil rights of 75.000 Black children for $50,000 worth of jobs."

King said he was pleased that a majority of those voting resisted "all the pressures" from the national office to conform.

Actually, new administrative jobs for Blacks under the plan are worth $500,000 plus. King said, pointing out that Dr. Alonzo Crim. the new school

"They're not going to take him out of office," regardless of whether appellate courts uphold the plan, King remarked. "He's there, and he's going to start hiring those Blacks as per that agreement."

King said the National NAACP policy is geared to white-majority school systems. Atlanta has a large Black majority.

The NAACP Legal Defense Fund filed a brief asking the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to throw out the district court-approved compromise (Continued on page 19)

...SCLC hopelessly divided over proprietorship of 'King's dream

By Lloyd Hogan CHICAGO - On the eve of the 16th Annual Convention of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference ( S C L C ) in I n d i a n a p o l i s , a l l indications point toward a great deal of intrigue and behind - the - scenes politicking during the convention between the different factions that want to control the "dying" civil rights organization.

A LONG-STANDING feud between Mrs. Coretta King and Dr. Ralph David Abernathy, could surface from SCLC's wide ocean of problems.

Since 1968 when Mrs. King's husband, Mr. Martin Luther King J r . . was assassinated, there has been a clash of personalities between Mrs. King and Abernathy. president of SCLC. The fires of the feud were fanned considerably by Abernathy July 9, when he announced his resignation as head of the organization because the

financial condition and influence of SCLC was steadily declining due to the failure of the Black middle-class to support the movement; also, he accused Mrs. King, president of the Martin Luther King Center for Social Change, of draining away funds that SCLC might have received. Some of SCLC's supporters were not surprised mat

powerful civil rights organization is fighting for its very existence, but many of them questioned Abernathy's attack on Mrs. King, who some say has assumed the mantle of sainthood since her husband was murdered.

As SCLC lies almost dormant and is floundering for support to recapture the public's imagination, a great deal of the fault for the organization's failure is blamed on Abernathy who has been vehement in defending his administrative abilities in the presence of anyone who wishes to listen, and who also seems to look upon himself as a giant among Black

leaders. "As I look back" Abernathy boasted, " I feel I did my best, I did the job. I think the historians who are astute, who gather the facts, will agree. " I have given 18 years of my life to being a civil rights activist and that is longer than anybody else in the country. I am the people's man, the president of the poor people of this country."

Abernathy ''nominated" and 'elected'" himself "president" of the poor — Black and white!

Abernathy's ego is monumental !

IN A R E C E N T speech here he said after he leaves as head of SCLC, he doesn't see anyone around "who can replace me as president of the poor people, as head of SCLC." The "saintly" Mrs. King is not above controversy, either. She was criticized publicly by Rev. Hosea (Continued on page 12)

'executed'

By Nathaniel 10X MOBILE, Ala. - " I just killed me a man," the tall white man reportedly told the barmaid. He repeated this story to the bartender and also a patron of the tavern, but he failed to convince them. So when the police arrived on the scene a half hour later, Evan L. Harger was gone.

JOSEPH M A Y F I E L D , a 42year-old Black man was found a few doors down the street in downtown Mobile with a bullet hole in the neck and one in the shoulder. Mayfield was rushed to Mobile General Hospital, according to his wife, Jessie Mae, but it was too late and the Black man died.

Harger, 52. was picked up later the following day and charged with first degree murder. After a preliminary hearing, Harger was placed under $75,000 bond and bound over to the county grand jury.

Three witnesses testified at the hearing that both Harger and Mayfield had been in the "500 Lounge" on the night Mayfield was murdered. Two of the witnesses were Black workers in the club and one was a white patron.

Muhammad Speaks learned.

Each witness declared that there was no argument nor conversation between the two men.

However, when the Black man left, the tall white man soon followed. The white man came back shortly, the witnesses said, pointed, and stated, " I just killed me a man."

J A M E S M A Y F I E L D , the younger brother of the murdered man had planned to visit Alabama this summer during school vacation but was forced to come earlier because of the murder.

"There are too many void and empty spaces. If he didn't know my brother and they had had no arguement, what reason did he have for killing him," Mayfield asked? " H e might have been executed." stated Dr. Gillis, Mobile's NAACP president.

Dead at the scene was Edward Lee Drake, 26. of Decatur. Fatally wounded was Willie Haywood Daniels, 26, of the same address. The police did not contact the family after the shooting, only the funeral home.

Edward Drake was shot eight times — in both legs, in the chest, through the jaw, in the face, head and lips. The funeral home had to make a new face with wax. Haywood Daniels was shot nine times.

He was given a 50-50 chance of surviving by the physician in surgery — he didn't make it.

EDWARD L E E D R A K E was born in Tacoma, Wash, and came to Georgia at the age of 13, in what has to be considered "reverse migration." His mother, Mrs. Dorothy White, informed M . S . that he graduated as an honor student from DeKalb Trinity High School, in 1965.; He was dffered a scholarship, to attend Morris Brown.

s t a k e o u t Edward Drake was working at Kirby Vacuum Cleaning Company in G a i n e s v i l l e , Georgia. He was said to be "well liked." According to his manager, who was surprised, he was eligible for promotion.

The young Black male was engaged to be married in August.

MRS. DOROTHY W H I T E wanted to know. "Why did they have to shoot him eight times?"

Haywood Daniels talked to his wife Geneva before he died.

She said that he told her that the police "just started shooting at them and didn't identify themselves at all.

They didn't put on any ski masks nor did they run."

Edward Drake's sister, Miss Beverly Shoemaker, informed M.S. that she did some private investigating on her own. She said, "They had markers on the walls where gunshot spots were and the police claimed they were no more than 15 or 20 yards away. The bullet holes were concentrated in one area.

This being true, then how could they have run?"

"How could my brother have been shot in the face and eyes if he were running," she asked?

MISS S H O E M A K E R said, "They had not committed a crime nor were they in an act to commit a crime!"

She added. "They were never known to do anything like armed robbery. Personally. I believe they (police) wentout there to kill them."

After the shooting, there was a 30-minute lag before Daniels was taken to the hospital and then he was taken to three different hospitals before receiving attention.

The Black community — upset over the shooting of its sons — has held several meetings since June 9th.

The D e c a t u r - D e K a l b Concerned Citizens Group met with the County Commission Chairman and the Police Chief to raise questions dealing with "undue force" used by the police which fatally wounded the two men.

In response to some of the group's questions, the police chief indicated that it was impossible for police officers to be able to shoot and wound adversaries in all situations.

"You see too many movies and television shows about police shooting a man to wound him, shooting him in the arm," he' said. " I t simply doesr work that way in real life."

Anti-drug NATCHEZ, Miss. Last year, the highpoint of Paul Winfield's acting career came when he was nominated for an Oscar for his starring role in the m o v i e " S o u n d e r . " Winfield's nomination was a page one story all across the nation.

THIS Y E A R , Winfield is in the headlines for a totally different reason. The headlines came following Winfield's a r r e s t in this sleepy Mississippi town on a trumped up drug charge.

Winfield has been charged with possession of a controlled quantity of marijuana. The arrest was brought about by a package which was delivered to the motel where Winfield is staying while he is working on a remake of the children's classic, "Huckleberry Finn."

WINNER, James Brown, popular singer, known as "Soul Brother Number One," was recognized at a recent performance in Chicago, by the, Illinois Council for the Performing Arts, as their "Distinguished Performer," of 1973. The award is presented by James Hickling, III, who will star in a benefit performance of Othello, in Chicago.

Media overseer group formed NEW Y O R K â&#x20AC;&#x201D; T h e first national news council has recently been formed with headquarters in New York City.

T H E NEW organization is named the National News Council (NNC) and is an independent organization designed to monitor and report on media performance and freedom of the press.

Officers of the NNC will be Roger J . Traynor, chairman; William B . Arthur, executive director; and Ned Schunurman, associate director. Arthur is formerly of Look magazine and Schunurman is former City editor for WCBS-TVNews.

Included among the 15-man NNC is prominent Black woman leader, Dorothy Height. Mrs. Height will consider complaints from one person or organization

concerning the accuracy or fairness of news disseminated by a national news organization as well as complaints from any news organization concerning attempts by anyone to restrict f r e e d o m to g a t h e r or disseminate news.

NNC will, however, not take complaints dealing with editorial comment or with news disseminated by local, state or regional news media, except when such news is redistributed by national news organization.

T H E NATIONAL news organizations NNC will cover include the AP, U P I , New York Times News Service, the Washington Post-Los Angeles Times News Service, the Christian Science Monitor, the Wall Street Journal, Time, Newsweek, CBS, ABC, NBC and the public broadcasting networks.

film hero delivered, Federal narcotics agents placed Miss McNair under a r r e s t . She was subsequently cleared of the charge.

Muhammad Speaks spoke with Winfield following his release on $1,000 bond. He denied any knowledge of the marijuana and of knowing the person, a Mrs. T. Bradley, whose name appeared on the package. " I returned from work," Winfield said," and picked up my mail at the desk. The package was with the mail. I went to my room and cleaned up and opened my mail. A few minutes later there was a knock on the door and it was the police.

There were six of them and they wanted to know what I knew about the marijuana. I told them I didn't know anything, and that's the truth.

When I opened the package there was a hollowed out paper back book in it and what appeared to be some marijuana in the hollow portion.

Winfield's arrest is almost a r e - e n a c t m e n t of singer Barbara McNair's drug-arrest which involved a package of heroin delivered to the night club where she was appearing.

I T IS H I G H L Y significant that Winfield is the star of the first serious anti-drug movie to be made for B l a c k audiences. In the movie, "Gordon's War," he plays an ex-Green Beret Captain who r e t u r n s to H a r l e m and organizes several of his former Army buddies into an "army" to remove narcotics from Harlem.

The Oscar nominee was arrested on a warrant that was sought by U . S . P o s t a l Inspectors when the package with Winfield's name on it broke open while it was still in the post office. The package was rewrapped and forwarded to Winfield.

"The package was addressed to Natchez, Tenn., but they d e l i v e r e d i t to me in Mississippi." Winfield said.

It is worth noting that the University of Mississippi, at Oxford, is the sole place in the U.S. where marijuana is legally grown. According to a recently released story, the substance is grown there in order that researchers may be able to obtain it.

Radio to present Black economics

By Joe Walker M.S. New York Bureau NEW YORK-Minister Louis Farrakhan, National R e p r e s e n t a t i v e of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, will present the economic program of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to millions of radio listeners, soon, over the RCA Minority Forum. The week of the broadcasts is yet to be announced.

The RCA Minority Forum is a new radio series designed exclusively for Black radio, sponsored by RCA Corporation and created by UniWorld Groflp Inc., a Black owned and operated advertising agency based in NYC. The current series will feature comments by some of Black America's outstanding figures on their philosophies concerning business, education and social progress.

BESIDES FARRAKHAN, others in the series include A.G. Gaston, business tycoon from Birmingham, Alabama; Floyd McKissick, former head of the Congress of Racial Equality ( C O R E ) ; Benjamin Hooks, Commissioner of the F e d e r a l Communications Commission; Rose Morgan, a pioneer in the business of Black beauty culture; and Charles E v e r s , major of Fayette, Miss.

The Forum, which began July 30, will run daily on Blackoriented radio stations for nine weeks in New York, Newark, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington. D . C , Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh and Los Angeles.

Each week's program will consist of spot broadcasts during morning and evening drive-time periods. A special 10-minute presentation will be broadcast on the weekend.

According to Byron Lewis, president of UniWorld, in preparing the series UniWorld representatives interviewed each personality for several hours and then selected what they considered the key points for three-minute broadcast segments.

IN T H E OPENING week of July 30, Black millionaire A G .

Gaston was presented. He urged everyone to save a portion of t h e i r wages r e g u l a r l y . Without such practice, he said, a person cannot benefit from the U.S.A. system.

Eighty-one-year-old A. G. Gaston was born in Demopolis, Ala. He is board chairman and president of s e v e r a l corporations. Among them are: The Booker T.Washington Business College; Booker T. Washington Fire Insurance Co.: A. G. Gaston Homes for Senior Citizens; A . G . Gaston

Haitian exiles stage protest

By Joe Walker M.S. New York Bureau NEW Y O R K - T w o recent events, here, marked the predicament of Haitians who arrived in the U.S. without visas and emphasized the plight of 4,970,000 residents of the. French-speaking country under the iron-clad rule of 19year-old Jean - Claude Duvalier.

T H E F I R S T E V E N T was a fund-raising rally to obtain money for the defense of 117 H a i t i a n s who fled their homeland by small boats and a r r i v e d between last December and April of this year in Miami. At least 12 of the group are escaped political prisoners who face r e imprisonment if compelled to return to Haiti.

Eight of the 117 have, to date, been convicted of illegal entry into the U.S. and are appealing their cases. The others are being held in detention pending hearing of their cases.

"To send these persons back to Haiti is really to condemn them to death," declared Rev. W. Sterling Gary, president of the National Council of C h u r c h e s at the r a l l y H e a r the voice of

sponsored by the United States Committee for Justice to Latin American Political Prisoners in the Riverside Church "...it's hard for us to reconcile the ( U . S . ) government's p o s i t i o n s on H a i t i a n s , compared to the way they've treated Cuban or Hungarian refugees " he said.

IN A RELATED demonstration, about 150 Haitian exiles marched onto the playing field of Downing Stadium on Randalls Island during a soccer game between the National Team of Haiti, and Millonarios of Colombia.

The Haitian protesters surged onto the field with red and blue flags which used to be the Caribbean country's colors before the late President Francois Duvalier changed them to red and black. They sat down to register their complaint that political oppression and poverty was rampant in Haiti.

Held up for almost three hours the soccer game was only resumed after a number of overseas telephone calls to Haiti in which the head of the Haitian Football Association ordered the coach of the Haiti soccer team to resume the contest. It ended in a 1 to 1 tie.

"Black is not beautifulâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;when you're broke. Because economics is the name of the game: in the large measure, it's your ability to pay your own" way," A. G. Gaston opined.

F L O Y D McKISSICK during the week of August 6, on the RCA Minority Forum

contended that " . . . B l a c k economics is a continuation the struggle of the 60's. Black people must be able to shift gears and to recognize thai he last barrier which has not yet been cracked is the economic barrier."

He insisted that business is the basis of political power and that Black people will not have power until they have built a firm economic base. "Laws are based upon property ownership and proprietary rights. We must realize that land is the basis of all wealth and power," he stated.

S. d e a l e r s a n d o f f i c i a l s admit g r e a t w h e a t b l u n d e r WASHINGTON—The great wheat blunder that top U.S. tradesmen made in a deal with the Soviet Union recently, has been estimated to cost U.S. food buyers more than $1 billion, and U.S. officials and grain dealers have admitted ignorance and confusion in the deal. " T H E B L U N D E R was born in a climate of government secrecy and bureaucratic negligence," according to Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-Washington.

That shrewd Russian dealer actually outwitted the stumbling U.S. grain dealers is a question pretty well taken for granted in upper circles.

But the fog that U.S. officials are currently in and was in at that time is aptly illustrated by a statement from Agriculture Secretary Butz to ths House Agriculture Subcommitte on Livestock and Grain, last September, 1972. " I emphasize that nobody knew then — neither the

She did however, release a statement pointing out her continuous fund-raising efforts for SCLC. MRS. KING'S strongest statement c o n c e r n i n g the i s s u e w a s encompassed with subtle sarcasm. " I think that people give to the things they want to give," she said. " I think people who give to both organizations.know the difference. I feel very satisfied in the support that I have given to both SCLC and to the center."

Mrs. King said the center will be a repository of Dr. King's papers and documents and will be completed within two or three years. However, she did insist that she wanted to see SCLC continue to be a relevant civil

In order to be continuously relevant SCLC has to continually re-evaluate its role."

Her thoughts must have turned to Abernathy, and in her low -key, subtle method, she let him know her objection to his finding fault with everyone else and not being man enough to face up to his own

deal is what upset U.S. citizens on most levels, both private and official.

Accordingly, prices skyrocketed, and consumers declared that grain dealers were selling much more grain than could be spared by the country.

Meanwhile, big farmers became agitated and blamed the Agriculture Department, pretesting that they had not been given adequate advice concerning higher prices.

"Any leader has to be responsible for an organization," she said, "whether it is his fault or not." " I was one of those who felt Dr. King should be m e m o r i a l i z e d , " he admitted, "but I did not feel there was need for another organization.''

Williams, president of the Metro Atlanta SCLC Chapter, who raised the issue over the King center, which is

Both Butz and his assistant admitted confusion, stating they had not been told the size of the deal nor had they made attempts to learn the size.

One v e t e r a n newsman compared the poor preparation of U.S. wheat sellers to the way white land buyers "stole" rich farmland from rural Blacks (immediately following emancipation and u n t i l r e c e n t l y ) who had no knowledge of their rights nor the legal process.

" I t has always been my position, " Williams said, "that Mrs. King has every right in the world to the Martin Luther King Center for Social Change. It is unfortunate that the public has not known there is a great deal of difference between that organisation and SCLC. It is my belief that when they give to the center they think they're giving to SCLC.

Thus, the oil was connected or regarded in this stage as the main element in scoping the political and economical future of the country, keeping in mind that the oil companies possess strength, and they effect plots and practice pressures against peoples' aspirations and their struggle for freedom and prosperity.

The revolution pointed out its strategic goal by working to liberate the oil resources completely from foreign control and putting them under the national mastery and putting it completely under the

service of the masses by making it an obvious element among the struggle elements against i m p e r i a l i s m and international Zionism.

THIS DIRECTION was given

T H E NEGOTIATIONS began on January 15, 1972, between the revolutionary government and the companies. Within eight sessions, the Iraqi

delegate was clear and obvious in his demands while the companies delegate was evading and using many ways to push the negotiations out of the subject. This led the head Iraqi delegate to conclude the eighth session by defining clearly Iraq's fundamental positions as follows: 1. Presence of potential increase of oil production from the northern and southern fields to 160 million tons in 1975 76, and demanded the companies to implement this increase.

2. Iraq insisted that the companies should pay all payments due as a result of expensing royalty, which amounted to about 90 million Dinars.

Striving to build a Black hospital

By Paul 11X CHICAGO — The first of our community papers was This I s Chatham, in October 1972. This paper was organized after a survey of neighborhood business people was made in order to organize a perspective Black business support, or Black Buy Black. Also, to report news of interest in the community itself.

T H E ORIGINAL theme of the Chatham paper is to raise funds for a Black hospital. It was felt that the community as well as B l a c k businesses would support such a plan, and thus the first community paper, This Is'Chatham — was born. The success of the first paper, almost instantly, brought into being two more papers of it's kind: This Is South Shore and This Is Washington Park.

It was felt that the concept of a community newspaper with citywide news reporting — if interest were devoted to community developments and events — would illustrate the necessity and end results of Blacks patronizing Blacks in their own community, as opposed to travelling outside the community and letting outsiders reap the benefits.

The total focus of this community paper is to aid in building or buying a Black owned and operated hospital and encouraging community support of local merchants while informing residents of the latest community developments.

T H E P R A C T I C E of Black Buy Black makes us recognize the necessity for

H o s p i t a l s

unity and group a c t i v i t y . I t discourages wanton criticism of everything that is Black-owned and operated. We must work in a collective manner without excuses for failures and make our own neighborhood a decent place in which to live.

We must respond to the idea that Black -owned and operated businesses a n d r e s i d e n c e s c a r r y the responsibility of suitable up-keep, and by pooling it's resources a community can build it's own homes, schools, hospitals and factories.

The idea of a community newspaper can very well be a two-fold project; pool our resources in a Black buy Black objective — accept the responsibility of the community's best interest to the benefit of the community.

T H E COMMUNITY response is said to be "totally positive" toward the reporting of positive community developments and progress.

The community newspapers have given the residents of Chatham, South Shore and Washington Park , a stepby -step review of area developments from watery swampland, forest and the like, up through its' first immigrated settlers — J e w s .

Germans and other whites — into an almost totally Black community.

The community response to these papers are responses indicating a highly successful source of ideas for reliable news coverage on community activity and developments.

The control of the community resources is a major step in controlling the community itself.

By Bro. Thomas E . X . (Turner) and Bro. Jimmie L . X . (Riley) Jackson Prison The Muslim Brotherhood at Jackson Prison is in exact agreement w i t h the H o n o r a b l e Elijah Muhammad — the American-socalled Negro must have his own Hospitals.

Refused entrance into many of his former slave-master's hospitals or deprived of adequate medical attention once admitted, the Black man must think seriously in terms of acquiring medical facilities (hospitals and first-aid stations) to attend the sick and injured of his own people.

Many instances, to be certain, could be cited to substantiate the Black man's need for his own Hospitals.

In general, the Black man is frequently injured in the street or becomes ill in his home, and when this occurs, he is taken to his former slave-master's hospital where he is often refused the proper medical attention which is indispensable to his life or well-being.

It is imperative that the Black man

B l a c k m a n

exert every conceivable effort, willingly, to acquire his own hospitals. Hospitals for the Black man are a must.

Because of this necessity, we, the Muslim Brotherhood at Jackson Prison, are urging our readers to contribute to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's Hospital Drive.

We are giving our best financial support to aid our Beloved Leader, Teacher, and Guide, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. And we pray that every Black man, woman, and child given all that they can to help Messenger Muhammad purchase or build hospitals for the Black man here in the wilderness of North America.

In conclusion, we again urgently ask for your financial contributions to support this black cause. May Almighty (God) Allah bless each and every contributor with the greatest success in all that is good.

Please send your contributions to the specified address in our Muhammad Speaks newspaper. As Messenger Muhammad says — we are destined to become the greatest Black Nation that ever was. And we close by saying this: Hospitals for the Black man are, indeed—a must.

ANALYSIS OF THIS is a continuation of the deadly W H E E L P L A N E (The Mother Ship) that the Prophet E Z E K I E L had a vision of, in the 1st Chapter of the Book in the Bible, which is entitled by the name, EZEKIEL. IT has been over 2,000 years since the Revelation of the Book, entitled E Z E K I E L . In this article we are about to go into the analyzation of E Z E K I E L ' S vision of a great W H E E L . (Bible) T H E Bible scholars are a little confused over an exact date of E Z E K I E L ' S Vision of the W H E E L .

Some of the Bible scholars are actually doubtful whether or not, there was an E Z E K I E L , living or not. They arrive at their various conclusions concerning the Book of E Z E K I E L and whether or not he was a living prophet or whether the Book of E Z E K I E L is a Vision of a Prophet, or not, because of the style of the writing, of the Book.

E Z E K I E L is called a Priest in the chapter 1, verse 3 (Bible). In E Z E K I E L 1:1, Ezekiel said that he was by the river Chebar, in the land of the Chaldeans. E Z E K I E L refers to 'the spirit of the Lord' as "the hand of the Lord..." being upon him.

IN T H E same, chap. 1:4 (Bible) E Z E K I E L said that he looked, "...and behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself...." This fire that E Z E K I E L saw coming out of the north, infolding itself, cannot refer to anything other than the nations of the north being united together.

E Z E K I E L , Chap. 1:5: And out of the midst of the fire infolding itself "...came the likeness of four living creatures." And the appearance of these four living creatures; "...they had the likeness of a man."

of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot:..." A calf has a splitfoot, "...and they (feet) sparkled like the colour of burnished brass."

As, E Z E K I E L , has reference to a man having a cattle-like foot, this would actually refer to the man's rate of speed of travel. A calf cannot travel very fast. And the split-hoof would show that E Z E K I E L is referring to a people who have not been able to move fast, due to their travelling being impeded by an unlike -natural way.

I F this has reference to a man, and the man has a calf-like or oxlike foot, this has reference to the slowness of the Black once-slave whose foot was shackled by his

I F E Z E K I E L is talking about a man, we can get onto the straight way of giving his vision some likeness to the people, because E Z E K I E L is not altogether talking about metal, wood, iron and animals.

The early days of Islam: the Glorious past'

By Karriem Allah Temple No. 2 Part IV The incarceration of some of our brothers and sisters came as a result of the trouble which occurred at 11th Street Station, better known as , Central Police Headquarters in 1935.

The date was March 5th — trouble started between Muslims and the police during the trial of my brotherin-law Zack Hassan and my sister-inlaw, Rosie Hassan.

lost their courage — Allah gave them the will and the spirit to fight.

Allah, to Whom Praises are due forever, showed forth His mighty power through the Muslims in that fight at the 11th Street Station, which lives on in the hearts of the Muslims and the police department today. It is as fresh today as it was the day it happened.

The police had never witnessed anything like this in the history of the police department. A small group of dedicated Black Muslims willing to

fight unto death for the noble cause of Islam —- defending their Black brothers and sisters from the hands of the unjust white man who is known to kill any Black man who attempts to defend B l a c k women. B l a c k womanhood's honor was in jeopardy.

The Messenger taught we, the Muslims, to fight unto death for the preservation of the Muslim women.

The Muslims always gave good account of themselves when it came to the protection of the Muslim women.

The judge dismissed the case involving my brother - in - law and my sister - in - law. The Muslims started to leave the courtroom when suddenly a white bailiff pushed one of our sisters. This he should not have done — he lived to regret it.

The infidel is not to touch a Muslim worrran. This incident angered the Muslim brothers and brought on the fight at 11th S t r e e t P o l i c e Headquarters between Muslims and the entire police department.

1

I use department, because this fight between the Muslims and the police involved every police on duty inside police headquarters and those on the outside joined in on the fight to put down the Muslims who were involved in this historical fight which did not only make the headlines of every paper in Chicago, but all over the country — it will also go down in history.

The entire police department was shocked and stunned at seeing such courage and solidarity of the Muslims under fire The police opened up with their automatic weapons shooting point blank at the Muslims.

The Muslims never yielded from this withering fire. The Muslims kept coming after the police; they never

She was then, and is now, our glory, as was taught to we the the Muslims by our Honorable Leader, Teacher and Guide — Mr. Elijah Muhammad.

We the Muslims obeyed all the Messengers instructions. We the Muslims, found it easy to obey the Messenger"s instructions, because we wanted to obey him. It was a pleasure to do so. ) The Honorable Elijah Muhammad was' and is the first Black man in America ever to speak out loud for the protection of Black womanhood.

All the other so - called Black leaders are afraid of white people.

Black women — you all should love and honor this divine man, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who is always speaking in your defense.

Black sisters, the daughters of the tribe of Shabazz — bring your husbands over to. I s l a m . The Honorable Elijah Muhammad wants to shake the fear out of them with truth; you Black women love brave Black men!

Honor, respect and dignity is yours on your acceptance of Islam, and the willingness to follow the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

(To be Continued)

Muslii m s let your light shine GENEROUS GIFT, of $1,000 to the No.2 Poor Treasury of the Nation of islam was made by Brother Henry 7X (right) and his wife, Sister Louise 2X. of Temple No. 7.

Brother Henry is congratulated by Min. Louis Farrakhan. Followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad are able to accumulate money, as never before because of the wholesome and modest lifestyle his teaching inspires. (M.S. Photo by Otis Shabazz).

Q u a l i f y yourself

By Sister Mary Elizabeth 2X Temple No. 2 Messenger Muhammad is guiding a N a t i o n into greatness. He is building for is, the so-called Negro in \merica, a Nation wherein we nay enjoy Freedom, Justice ind Equality.

Never before have the poor Black man and woman in \merica had a leader who :ould successfully guide anything without the white nan having some open or inderhanded part in it.

Messenger Muhammad is capable of steering the entire Nation by himself, because he is Divinely guided by Almighty God (Allah). But he is building this mighty Nation so that you and I may learn the mechanics of self -government.

Now, if a parent gives his child a building block set. and he finds the child enthusiastic about it, trying new ways to

put his set together, even working to improve the set to show his parent that he appreciates the gift this will surely make the parent beam with pride.

But, if the child refuses to accept the gift or if he accepts it but sits down and waits for the parent to put it together for him, the parent is likely to be quite disappointed.

So it is with Messenger Muhammad. We are his children and to us he has given a Nation.

If he finds us working enthusiatically over that which he has given to us. it will surely bring joy to his heart.

B u t , we w i l l c e r t a i n l y disappoint our Dear Apostle if he finds that we want him to do everything for us in the way of helping our Nation to grow.

Messenger Muhammad tells us daily to qualify ourselves for a place in our Nation.

2

Remember, the Messenger said qualify yourself — he did not say that you must have a white man's education before you accept Islam.

If you have degrees, that is all right. You can bring your degrees and let A l l a h ' s Messenger teach you how to use them to advance self through the Nation of Islam.

If you do not have an education of this world, do not worry; do not panic and start running out trying to learn something from the fastfalling Caucasian.

The Messenger has told us many times that the white man's schools are filthy and that if he, himself, had never gone to school, he would not go to their schools now. So why would we want to go? We are following Messenger Muhammad, brothers and sisters, and he will guide us into a new and greater

knowledge than that of this world.

The Nation of Islam is growing. Within a new Nation, there are innumerable areas for laborers. A Nation needs qualified mechanics, storekeepers, waiters, managers, cooks, maids, office workers, maintenance people, garbage men — the list of possible occupations goes on and on.

When Messenger Muhammad teaches us to qualify ourselves, this means that we must decide to commit ourselves to the task of carrying out the duties of that post to which the Messenger assigns us.

Brothers and sisters, let us quickly qualify ourselves and unite to help our Nation grow under the Divine guidance of our Leader, Teacher and Guide, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad — Messenger of Allah.

By Minister Robert X, Temple No. 38, Columbia, S.C. We are taught by Messenger Muhammad, that the duty of a civilized man is to teach civilization to the uncivilized, but we can only teach according to the light of our knowledge.

Scripture teaches us, "No man. when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick—that they which come in may see the light."

As followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, we must let our light shine; we must not allow anything in our behavior to d i m our l i g h t . Our faithfullness to Allah, and his Messenger will determine our radiant glow.

How about next door neighbors; do they believe in Allah and his last and greatest Messenger, or is our light so hidden that they cannot see it, and do not even know that we are Muslims, followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad?

We are responsible, Black man and woman, according to our light. Let your light shine that you may bring thousands into the fold of Islam. Allah loves the converted soul, and the converter. All Praise is due to Allah for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad

' D e s p e r a t e , CHICAGO — "We're desperate, Mr. De Graft!

W e ' r e d e s p e r a t e ! " The pregnant woman, Mrs. Jill R o u n d t r e e , pleaded to American Meat Institute (AMI) president, H. De Graff, as her young women supporters sat in more agreement with her. " M Y HUSBAND and I live on $300 per month with two children to feed!" — Mrs. Roundtree continued.

Mrs. Roundtree and her supporters represented Women United For Action ( W U A ) , and a n a t i o n a l organization which claims to represent " m i l l i o n s of consumers who are suffering under the hardship of Phase IV. "WUA also claims to represent " a coalition of housewives, welfare mothers, students, the employed and unemployed."

When pleading " w e ' r e desperate," Mrs. Roundtree was referring to a countless number of housewives who are growing more and more concerned with the beef s h o r t a g e in A m e r i c a n supermarkets and grocery stores.

MRS. ROUNDTREE read to De Graff, a WUA statement listing four basic demands on the AMI.

' p r o t e s t o r s

1. An immediate release of all cattle being held from the market.

2. A rollback on meat prices to a level the poor can afford.

3. That the meat industry open its books and show its profits to the public.

4. An end to layoffs of meat industry workers and a rehiring of those who already have lost their jobs.

AMI functions as a trade association for the meat p a c k i n g and p r o c e s s i n g industry. A national, non profit organization based in

Chicago, it performs lobby and research services for some 350 meat packing and meat processing companies which it represents.

AMI has taken a strong public stand i n f a v o r of the government's lifting the price ceiling on beef. De Graff said that AMI wants the price ceiling lifted because "People are in business to make money. That's why we have food!" he proclaimed.

"We know you're in it for profit!" a woman protestor retorted to De Graff's slip of

the tongue.

"And you're holding meat off the market!" a fourth woman chimed in.

WUA CHOOSE AMI as a protest target, Mrs. Roundtree said, because: "You (AMI) have the power when it comes to protecting the interest of the meat industry. But you claim you don't have the power to protect the consumer!"

Mr. De Graff also demanded that AMI call for prosecution of its member companies which are guilty of monopoly

T H E B R I E F SAID that the Atlanta Compromise "does not even remotely approach compliance" with the Supreme Court's 1971 Swann decision.

That decision required "every effort to achieve the greatest possible degree of actual desegregation."

The S u p r e m e C o u r t ' s 1954 desegregation mandate would become " a mockery" for the 58,540 Blacks and 524 whites attending the 83 all - Black schools, the Legal Defense Fund said.

The compromise plan, which King negotiated with the school board, has been approved by the U.S. District Court in Atlanta, and that decision is

meat - price manipulation. She said WUA is not in favor of lifting the price ceiling on beef because meat companies' records will show a profit margin even if the price of beef remains the same.

"We have come here today because we are angry, frustrated and desperate. By violating our right to obtain food, the meat industry is denying us the right to eat, which is the right to live..."

Mr. De Graff said, concluding her statement.

Chapter

now on appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans.

Some observers believe the National NAACP officials, especially the attorneys, aren't accustomed to "uppity" from local chapters. The national officials are said to see their role as planning grand strategy affecting school desegreation cases all over the country.

On this theory, a local chapter just isn't supposed to have any ideas of its own. An Atlanta school plan is to be judged in New York by attorneys who will decide how it affects their other cases under this theory; it has no necessary connection with what Black parents in Atlanta, itself, might happen to want.

He noted that the number of complaints increased considerably after the agency was enabled by statue to file lawsuits on behalf of complainants.

T H E AGENCY disposes of more than lb ,000 complaints per year, and that number is not nearly enough to keep up with escalating complaints.

Standard Oil shouts Support the Arabs" 9

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. In a letter to their more than 240,000 stockholders and 40.000 employees, the Standard Oil Company of California recently urged the s u p p o r t of the A r a b governments' efforts toward peace in the Middle East.

F I N A L L Y R E A L I Z I N G that Israel could no longer help them, Standard Oil cried " s u p p o r t the A r a b s ! " Standard needed oil, gasoline, energy! Like a car going slowly up hill, rapidly losing momentum, and running out of gas — they needed help!

Bat oil was net all that troubled Standard Oil and the United States — they needed things. Nearly all the !, hogs were bee:! running out fast, their v ejjetables and produce were frightfully low, and each day they watched the awesome t.y., as the leaders of their larid exposed one another before the world; and so their chairman, Otto Miller, spoke out for his own protection! '' There must be understanding on our part for the aspirations of the

Arab people and most positive support of their efforts toward peace in the Middle East,' he said.

It was said now. Not that anyone believed he actually wanted peace for the Arabs — he wanted oil for his customers — money for his pockets, and to attain this, like other white men of America had shown, he would do anything.

I T WAS M E R E L Y a letter to h i s e m p l o y e r s and stockholders, which number more than 300,000, but for M i l l e r it was a very desperate plea, a plea for "the future welfare of the Western world."

The letter further declared that the U.S. should work more "closely" with the Arab governments to build up and "enhance our position with the Arab people."

The letter from Miller . to those 300,000 or more people upon whom he has direct influence exposed the dilemma that Standard Oil and the U.S. are faced with because of the callous misuse and abuse of the world majority of non-white people.

s u r p r i s e ,

By Donald Mosby CHICAGO - The furor which erupted when Mrs. Shirley Graham DuBois sold the papers of her late husband, Dr. W . E . B . D u B o i s , to the University of Massachusetts, warrants a view of the great scholar from a different perspective.

WHILE I T WOULD certainly be a fine thing if Dr. DuBois' papers were in the care and trust of a Black college or university, a very important •vpect of the entire affair has been completely overlooked.

Dr. DuBois was an avowed

D u B o i s

integrationist. How then, could he be the "godfather" of the Black nationalist movement today?

He attacked Booker T .

Washington for his famed Atlanta Cotton Exposition speech, which was delivered in 1893. In Washinton's famed "fingers of the hand" speech he stated the proposition that Black people were more than w i l l i n g to accept social separation from whites.

DuBois attacked Washington for this position.

S E V E R A L DECADES later, DuBois was in the forefront of

Mrs, S h i r l e y Graham Dubois.

Black opposition to Marcus Garvey and the entire U.N.I. A. concept. It is important to note that Garvey was, indeed, a Black n a t i o n a l i s t and ecnoused the position of "Africa for Africans."

In his book, "Strategy for a Black Agenda," Henry Winston, the Black president of the U.S.A. Communist P a r t y , makes significant mention of DuBois' attacks on G a r v e y and Washington.

Winston further lauds DuBois for the latters acceptance of Marxist-Lemn communism.

Winston pays glowing tribute to DuBois's belief that all the working class people of the world must unite in opposition to the common enemy — capitalism.

Those Black nationalists, and non-integraticnists, who embrace DuBois as the "godfather" of t h e i r movement, have forgotten the all-important-fact that DuBois, himself, was never a Black nationalist.'

They have forgotten that DuBois founded the NAACP as an integrationist organization.

He was later "drummed" out of the organization but DuBois " b r a i n c h i l d " has never strayed from the goal he set for it.

AUGUST 24,1973

a t U n i v .

NOTHING E V E R deterred DuBois from this objective.

His entire life was devoted to accomplishing this single goal, and this writing is in no way intended to minimize the many contributions DuBois made to the Black struggle.

At the same time, however, current events v i r t u a l l y demand that he be placed in his true relative position to present day Black nationalists who have chosen him as a "godfather."

Early in this century, DuBois wrote, "The problem of the 20th Century is the problem of the color line." It is now clearly apparent that DuBois' solution to the problem was for Black people to cross over the line into that fabled " m a i n s t r e a m ' ' of white America.

One need only look to Atlanta, Ga., and the recent expulsion of that city's NAACP chapter

by Roy Wilkins and company, to see the proof of this.

DuBois was Wilkin's mentor as was his predecessor Walter White. It must be remembered that White divorced his Black wife of more than 20 years to marry a white woman.

On the other side of the coin, DuBois was an exponent of the "talented tenth" concept

o f

M a s s .

which stated that Black people should strive hard to educate that tenth of the race who were most talented and depend on the educated tenth to "aid and comfort" the rest of us.

Sir C e c i l Rhodes, who precipitated the exploitation of Africa termed this "the white man's burden."

I T IS T R U E that DuBois was one of the early proponents of the Pan African Movement, along with George Padmore and others. But DuBois' Pan Africanism could never be termed Black for the sake of Blacks. To his dying day, DuBois strove to bring about an accommodation between Africa and Communist Russia.

Indeed, to bring communism to Africa.

When one examines DuBois' life, then it becomes readily apparent why his papers were sold to the university they were. It is indeed significant that DuBois was born in Great Barrington, Mass.

Neither Garvey nor Washington had the childhood advantages DuBois had. One could surmise that this accounts for the vastly different philosophys of the three — or could it be analogous to the "house slave and the field slave" once again?

Cop innocent

in 'hit squad'

Sergeant convicted

By Samuel 17X CHICAGO — "You know, when I was in law school 1 used to dream of getting cases like this," the defense attorney. Sam Adams began. " I used to dream of getting a case defending a man I know is innocent...but it's no fun...you get to know the man. Get to know his wife and children..." Adams was summing up the defense case before a jury in the federal court room of Judge Philip W. Tone in the infamous Police "hit squad trial.

T H E ACCUSED MAN who Adams was defending is 19 - year Chicago police force veteran, William H Tolliver, 46. A burglary investigator, Tolliver was being tried along with another policeman, former Sgt. Stanley Robinson, on charges that they deprived two men of their civil rights Oy murdering them.

A third man, William Taylor, 65, was also being tried on charges that he paid Robinson $1 000 to kill a 22 year old drug pusher, Jeff Beard.

Tolliver was acquitted on all charges, but Robinson and Taylor were convicted. Tolliver had been accused of accidentally killing a man when seeking to fulfill a murder contract on another man.

Taylor allegedly wanted Beard ' e r a s e d " because Beard was intimidating and stealing money from him. Taylor in a convicted drug dealer whc is already serving 2 Vi year pr ison sentence.

of 'contract'

Robinson, allegedlv the leader of the "hit squad," was accused of kidnapping Beard under the pretext of arrest, and transporting him to nearby G a r y , I n d . . where he murdered him. Robinson was also accused of planning and being a party to the shooting of Verdeii Smith.

Smith, 41, was killed when riding as a passenger in an automobile driven by a man named Anthony Brown.

Tolliver was accused of firing the fatal shot at Smith, who was reportedly riding in the right-front passenger seat, normally occupied ov a South Side tavern owner. Charles McFarren, Brown, himself, originally confessed that ne shot Smith. But the prosecution rejected his claim arguing that he was under "stress".

T H E A L L E G E D contract on McFarren — for a reported sum of $2,000 — was supposedly placed with Robinson by another tavern owner, " P o n c h o " H a l l , who wanted McFarren killed because McFarren had witnessed Rati kill a man.

Hall teareo McFarren would testify against him at a grand jury hearing.

The defense argued tnat there was no reason for Hal) to be afraid of McFarren's testimony because several other persons had witnessed the Hall crime, which was allegedly committed outside a popular South Side lounge, "Flukie's."

T H E K E Y prosecution vitaess concerning both incidents was

William McKinley O'Neal. 23.

O'Neal, a five-year F B I informer, claimed that he was riding with Robinson on the night of the Beard killing and witnessed it.

A former security chief of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party, O'Neal reportedly "set - up the deaths" of slain Panthers, Fred Hampton and Mark Clark. He is currently in the protective custody of the F B I .

Speculation is that O'Neal possibly framed Robinson as well as Tolliver and Taylor, Adams, along with co - defense attorney for Tolliver, R. Eugene Pincham, maintained throughout the trial that it was a case of "mistaken identity" concerning William O'Neal who had described him in earlier statements as a "fairly light skinned" Black man. Tolliver is. in fact, very dark - skinned.

trial killings AN A L I B I witness also testified that on the morning Smith was killed, he and Tolliver were driving on a fishing trip to New London.

Wisconsin.

Tolliver has been reinstated as a policeman, a job to which he'd promised to return and "do the same good job" he was doing before he was suspended when indicted.

A p o l i c e m a n who has an unblemished record, and who has never fired his gun at anyone, Tolliver was granted all back - pay and fringe benefits, which he lost when suspended from duty.

Speculation is that Robinson will win a reversal of his conviction, and Taylor will begin cooperating with the prosecution in pending cases in order to have his sentences reduced.

N i x o n - p e r m i t t e d t r i g g e r

w h o l e s

By Robert 9X M.S. Los Angeles Bureau LOS ANGELES—President Nixon's Phase IV guidelines created a storm of controversy throughout the country concerning the exorbitant increases in retail prices; yet, the other half of the program which authorized rent increases have gone virtually without comment on the part of the consumers.

THROUGHOUT THE Los Angeles area, the disastrous effects of rent increases can readily be observed in the complete disregard for the welfare of low income families who, within the past two weeks, have had their rents raised by as much as 20 per cent.

Entire apartment buildings have been cleared of tenants, some who had lived on the premises for years. Landlords readily admit that they are clearing the buildings in anticipation of getting higher rents.

"It is much better to get rid of the old tenants who will raise 'hell' about the rent increase," said one owner.

Los Angeles residents have long been plagued with discriminating landlords who—in addition to charging exorbitant rents—refused to permit prospective tenants with children to rent or lease.

URBAN R E N E WA L - ' ' Remov a l " projects—uprooted thousands of iow income families from their homes and the units that replaced those torn down were far beyond the financial reach of the low income families who previously inhabited the area.

The housing projects have become filled to capacity and reports of the City Housing Authority indicate that thousands are on waiting lists.

In interviews with Muhammad Speaks, all of the apartment owners agreed that it would be much "less hassle" to give tenants now occupying their buildings, 30 day notices to move rather than go through the "squabbling" associated with raising their rents.

All of the apartment owners said the rent increases were a direct result of their being forced to pay higher taxes on their properties. They insist that they. too. are caught up in the spiraling upturns of a runaway economv.

WITHIN T H E H E A R T of the Black community, many two bedroom apartments renting for $165 - $185 per month, will be increased to $200 - $215 per month, according to several

e evictions realtors.

Farther west, in the areas formerly occupied by middle class whites, the exodus of Blacks from the ghetto has caused mass migration of whites from the neighborhoods and homes they owned and are now being rented to Blacks for sums highly disproportionate to their incomes.

Blacks are being forced, out of necessity, to pay as much as $275 per month for apartments that formerly rented to whites for $150.

Muhammad Speaks' reporters recently inquired concerning a three - bedroom house advertised for rent and was informed that the property was renting for $320 per month with the tenant being required to put up the first and last months rent in addition to a $50 cleaning fee and $75 for security deposit!

The desperation to acquire decent housing has resulted in an old. but now revitalized, activity which borders on "legalized swindling."

More and more, ads are beginning to appear in local papers which, placed by 'rental agencies.' purport to find houses for clients for a fee which usally ranges from $10 $25. These so-called rental agencies are not to be confused with those agencies which perform a constructive function within tr.e community.

The operation of these opportunists' a r e not hampered by the ethics that govern genuine real estate operations. They need only to rent a "hole-in-the-wall" and secure a business license to assume an air of legitimacy.

TYPICAL OF the ads they place in Black newspapers are as follows: "Three - bedroom house, fenced yard, double garage, children welcome, nice neighborhood, $175 per month."

Muhammad Speak reporters answered such an ad and was informed that a 'registration fee' of $25 must be paid before any transactions could take place.

Later investigations revealed that once the fee was paid, the 'client' was given a list of properties to look at. None of the houses advertised were available.

The so - called registration fee entitled the 'client' to six weeks of services after which time he would be required to re - register. Most of the

properties 'clients' were sent to check out were in run - down and deteriorating states of disrepair.

(It has come to the attention of the Muhammad Speaks staff that similar and like tactics are applied to the poor in our home city — Chicago.)

THE CHICANERY involved in apparently u n e t h i c a l practices, the huge sums of monies required as advance rents, the cleaning fees, and security deposits have forced many persons to 'buy' their homes, but here too, all is not what it seems to be.

A veteran buying a home on the G.I. Bill, supposedly with "nothing down," winds up paying more than $1,000 down with none of the money going towards the purchase price of the property.

Tax and insurance impounds, numerous lees, and other charges, highly contradict, the "nothing down" claims.

O N E SUCH transaction involved a veteran who 'bought' a home in a once middle - class neighborhood.

The purchase price of the (more than 30 year) dwelling was $30,000. A l t h o u g h advertised as 'nothing down,' the veteran ended up paying more than $1,100 before the close of escrow.

The loan authorized by the Veteran's Administration, set payments on a 30-year basis with interest rates of seven per cent.

The monthly payments on the property, including taxes and insurance, amounted to $283 per month. For a period of 3#2r years, the actual cost of the property would be more than $100,000!!!

These practices which have worked hardship on so - called homeowners have not gone unnoticed by concerned persons in the governmental agencies.

S E N A T E B I L L 1163, introduced by Senator Mervyn M. Dymally, D - L . A . , and passed by the Senate, would require mortgage loan brokers to inform the potential borrower of the true facts associated with loan transactions. " I believe that my bill is consumer education at its best," said Senator Dymally.

"It would get the facts in front of the potential borrower at the time when he needs those facts most."

B e r l i n world youth festival

By Calvin Williams BERLIN, G.D.R. — Thousands of young people from all over the earth assembled to participate in the Tenth Yough Festival in Berlin. Delegates from 142 nations took part, and estimates indicate that more than two million people took part.

F«st»v<*l in %Witn.

PEOPLE OF various political attitudes attended and were granted the privilege to give out their material and also hold free discussions openly, and to make contact with the general East German populace.

On the opening day, a two hour event was held at the Walter Ulbricht Stadium where delegates paraded b e f o r e the t h o u s a n d s assembled to cheer them on.

At the same time, they were able to demonstrate that they were against imperialism, racism, and that they were for freedom The Festival Committee ttionted he rr^m*?* For Anti-

Imperialist Solidarity, Peace, and F r i e n d s h i p , " and throughout the festival as at the Walter Ulbricht Stadium the outcry was "friendship" in many languages. The youth seemed to take the theme to heart as they roamed the streets thereafter, day and night, greeting, every person with the word friendship.

Brightly colored flags flew from almost every window, and signs decorated every factory and office with the committees theme for the festival: autos. buses, and the famous " S Bahn'.' was decorated so brightly that even persons who were against the festival were swept up by the cheerfulness in the air.

T H E ONLY CLOUD that swept over the horizon was the death of Walter Ulbricht. member of the Politburo and Chairman of the State Council of the German Democratic uie yDP * £?as under RoroiHii r

effort was made to distinguish the difference between the Eastern and Western parts of Germany.

I t was also under the leadership and efforts of Walter Ulbricht that, as one worker stated to me on the street of Berlin, the GDR became one of the most productive states within the socialist blocks, with the highest standard of living, second to the USSR. The words of Waiter Ulbricht in 1952. as he met with persons from the African countries, can well be remembered for they became a part of the festival: "We shall show to the world that people can work together live together, and do all of this in peace and friendship."

The crowd greeted courageous U.S. civil rights fighter Angela Davis with an enthusiastic ovation when sne rpf. rostram The

W h a t the M 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.
