I N BRIEF

Boycott elections in S.A. A SUCCESSFUL POLITICAL BOYCOTT was staged by the Southwest Africa People's Organization (SAPO) when only 1,300 of 50,000 eligible voters went to the polls for legislative elections in Southwest Africa. The anti - apartheid movement called the boycott against the elections for six seats in the legislative council of Ovambo, a former German colony claimed by South Africa. The pro - apartheid Ovambo Independence Party held all 35 nominated seats on the council. The SAPO refused to nominate candidates or to have anything to do with the elections.

Gage P a r k school plan BY A VOTE of 10 to 0, the Chicago Board of Education voted to approve a plan to reduce the number of Black freshmen to be enrolled in racially troubled Gage Park High School. The unanimous vote, which will send graduates of the all - Black Gershwin Elementary School to the all - Black Englewood High School, instead of sending some of them to Gage Park High, did little to soften the troubles that peril the school system in the racist Gage Park area. Gage Park's enrollment is 54 per cent white, 40 per cent Black and 6 per cent Latin.

Rhodesia detains nine THE RHODESIAN GOVERNMENT has detained nine more officials of the African National Council (ANC) in a stepped - up effort to curtail nationalist movments among the Blacks. A total of 33 has been taken into custody in the last month according to Bishop Abel Muzorewa. The Bishop said the detentions were worsening an already "explosive situation in Rhodesia." The ANC originally incurred the wrath of the government by opposing the 1 9 7 1 proposals for the settlement of the constitutional dispute between Great Britain and Rhodesia, forcing the proposals to be shelved. Rhodesian Government officials refused to comment on the Bishop's statement.

Portugal admits massacres PORTUGAL ADMITTED that its military forces in its Southeast African colony of Mozambique has committed the massacre of African civilians supposedly suspected of aiding the Mozambique Liberation Front (FRELIMO). The colonialists are using criminals and military prisoners in the massacres. Reports of at least five large - scale murders of Africans have been presented to Portuguese authorities to point out the inhumane treatment being accorded colonized Blacks. The massacre at Wiriyamu, in Mozambique's Tete province, in which more than 400 African men, women and children were slaughtered, was admitted by the Portuguese Defense Ministry in Lisbon.

| Middle E a s t R e p o r t | By Ali Baghdadi In the opinion of Doctor Israel Shahak, an Israeli professor and civil rights activist, who survived the Nazi holocaust in Germany, the treatment which the Palestinian political prisoners received at the hands of the Israeli authorities today, is no less barbaric than that experienced by the Jews at the hands of the Nazis. IN NADULUS Prison, one of scores which contain a total of 1 7 , 0 0 0 prisoners. 4 0 0 Palestinian prisoners went on a hunger strike for the fourth time this year alone. Parents, of Palestinian prisoners are seldom allowed to see their imprisoned sons or daughters. Prisoners are not allowed to receive any outside help from relatives. The sanitary conditions in the prisons are alarming. All prisoners suffer from skin diseases and yet they receive no medical treatment. A cell in the solitary confinement section is a cage six feet long and four feet wide. A cell which is 10 by 10 feet may be jammed with 20 prisoners standing like animals. THE ISRAELI government does not punish only the individuals who are suspected of being affiliated with the Palestinian resistance movement, but also their entire families including parents, brothers sisters, children and even cousins. Barbed wire enclosed concentration camps in the Sinai Desert (next to military camps) are erected for this purpose. Each tent is shared by several families. No one is allowed to leave the camp, listen to a radio or even read a book. Some of the residents of these camps have no members who are involved in resistance movements. Their only crime is that they own farmland

which was confiscated and turned over to new Jewish immigrants. When released from these, families are placed in new barbed wire camps in Gaza. No one has the right to leave these camps without a special permit. The camps are locked during the dark hours. E V E N AR-RAMLAH Prison which Israel uses as a showcase to deceive world public opinion about the "humane treatment of Arab terrorists." as deplored by AlIttihad Newspaper published in Haifa. Prisoners there are for ; m work nine continuous hours without any break. Those who dare to go to the washroom more than once daily are severely beaten. The Zionist guard is an D i p l o m a t

absolute judge and his verdict is irrevocable. Addressing the guard as sir is mandatory. Socalled rebellious prisoners who fail to do so are subjected to severe punishment. Before the start of every, meal they are stripped and kicked in the abdomen. The strangest method of humiliating Palestinian prisoners is the Isra<T decision — in violation of tne Geneva agreements — to assign Jewish prisone 6 s ;rving long term sentences mr murder etc., as guards over Arab political prisoners. The

Nazi-like Israeli -ers may have succeeded ii iiv.aqg great physical harm to their Palestinian captives, but certainly they have failed to destroy the Arab spirit and u termination for resistance.

OTTAWA, C a n a d a ^ T h e acting Foreign Minister of Uganda delivered a scathing attack on Great Britain during the opening session of the meeting of the B r i t i s h Commonwealth of Nations which is meeting in this Canadian city. WHILE BRITISH Prime Minister Edwin Heath sat across the table, Paul O. Etiang charged the British with r a c i s m and neocolonialism, and with pursuing a course which has "threathened the very foundation of the Commonwealth of nations." Speaking in the name of General Idi Amin, President qf Uganda, Etiang charged that Britian appeared to be "devoid of any principles or any moral strength." Etiang spoke for President Amin who decided not to attend the conference himself. Heath did not reply to the attack immediately. It is

B r i t i s h

expected, however, when Heath answers the charges he will center upon the recent expulsion by Uganda of more than 30,000 Asians. Etiang termed the expulsions part of a "national economic war for the benefit of our own citizens." HE SHARPLY criticized the governments of South Africa, Rhodesia, and Portugal. Etiang issued a warning that Africa was heading "toward a most explosive racial war."

Reveals phone c a l l to ' H o l y Spirit' and 'mandate from Martin,'during emotion f i l l e d convention session By Lloyd Hogan INDIANAPOLIS — Aside from the fact that the board of directors of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) refused to accept the alleged resignation" of SCLC president Dr. Ralph D. Abernathy, the 16th Annual SCLC convention here was a boorish minstrel show, a rehashing of the civil rights organization's so-called triumphs of yesteryear. NOTHING RELEVANT to the future of Black America was discussed at any length during the proceedings. Most of the speakers at the convention were preachers affiliated with SCLC in some way; all of them spent more time in conversation with the "Holy Spirit," thanking him for SCLC's "past glories," than they did discussing the monumental problems facing Blacks during the Seventies and beyond. Dr. Joseph E . L o w e r y , c h a i r m a n of t h e b o a r d o f S C L C , g o t t h e J u l y 15 meeting rolling i n "good spirits" when he told the standing, shouting, h i g h l y e m o t i o n a l c r o w d o f a b o u t 1,000 that t h e board gave "careful a n d prayerful deliberation" t o this crisis involving Abernathy's resignation. " I f there's anything i n the w o r l d , " L o w e r y said, " t h a t sets S C L C apart f r o m other great organizations and other great m o v e m e n t s , it is the fact that we not only m o v e by reasonable discussions, that w e not only m o v e by calculation a n d deliberation, w e m o v e by the H o l y Spirit! — w e have sought and left ourselves open f o r the guidance of the H o l y Spirit. " L a s t night—no, not last night, this morning — t h e board of directors heard f r o m the H o l y Spirit. And w e report to you now, not w h a t w e have done, but w h a t w e feel the H o l y S p i r i t prepares us to do." WITH PERSPIRATION rolling d o w n his brow, and w i t h tears i n his eyes, Lowery continued h i s impassioned " s e r m o n " on the great m e r i t of the board's decision to retain Dr. A b e r n a t h y as S C L C president. " W e agreed this m o r n i n g , " L o w e r y said, " t o r e p o r t t o this congregation and t o this nation, that after prayerful, serious a n d careful deliberation, the board of directors of the Southern C h r i s t i a n Leadership (Continued

H e cited the rising narcotics addiction rate as one of t h e b i g p r o b l e m s c o n f r o n t i n g Blacks. One-third ofthe Black population of the U .

Treating high blood pressure and bringing it down to within normal limits "is the greatest challenge in

preventive medicine today," he asserted. H i g h blood pressure is " e p i d e m i c " a m o n g B l a c k people, also contended Edward W . Hawthorne, M . D . ,of Washington, D.C. H e agreed with D r . Williams that more Blacks a r e "significantly affected" by high blood pressure than any other group i n the country. Black w o m e n have the highest incidence o f high blood pressure, he added. "Until around 1967 it was somewhat debatable whether it was beneficial to treat high blood pressure," Dr. Charles Curry, Chief of the Division

of Cardiovascular Diseases Howard University College Medicine, recalled.

at of

"There was no good scientific evidence that treatment was useful, particularly when the elevated pressure was not associated with any symptom. However, recent evidence from the Veterans Administration Cooperative Study Group and its senior investigator, Edward D. Fresis, M.D., clearly shows that control of hypertension significantly lowers morbidity and mortality rates."

w h e n h e said, "There is no salvation for us in white institutions. There is no salvation for us in institutions which are unable to solve the problems of their creators and therefore are totally unable to solve our problems." Dr. Strickland pointed out the corrupting influence of American decadence upon Black people by stating, "The truth seems no longer able to move us, to arouse our indignation or stir us to move in our own self interest." He cited the danger of this attitude by saying, "Not even the never-ending hypocrisy of Mr. Nixon's government is as disturbing as the moral, spiritual, social, and directionless numbness which exists in Black people."

According to Secretary Weinberger, the guidelines include t h e following provisions. The establishment of local r e v i e w c o m m i t t e e s to consider and approve o r disapprove t h e sterilization of a person under the age of 21, o r w h o is legally incapable, under state l a w . o f consenting to sterilization.

F A I L U R E O F the review board to approve a sterilization process would mean the withholding of federal funds f r o m any agency of the d e p a r t m e n t .

- By Audrey X (Lewis) Temple No. 5 M y life as a M u s l i m follower o f Messenger M u h a m m a d has been and is a m o s t f u l f i l l i n g o n e . A n d a f t e r following Messenger M u h a m m a d for six years, I a m continuously witnessing the truth wjiich the Messenger teaches. Over the past year, I have w o r k e d in a m e n t a l health clinic and indeed, I m u s t bear witness once again t o Messenger M u h a m m a d ' s teachings w h e n I a m exposed each d a y t o t h e " j o b " the d e v i l has done on the B l a c k m a n and w o m a n i n the hells o f N o r t h America. It is evident w h y the w h i t e m a n n o longer has t o use physical chains t o enslave t h e so-called Negro; he has now found out that m e n t a l slavery is far m o r e effective as w e l l as beneficial to h i m . Many times, Black brothers and sisters come t o this institution Tor n o other reason than their suffering f r o m l o w levels o f self- esteem, particularly the brothers. Usually this brother comes extravagantly dressed—flashy rings, loud colored clothes and m a n y t i m e s coming across i n a most flirtatious manner. Right away, I know the white doctor i s going t o diagnose this brother to be suffering f r o m "poor self-image." I n other words, t h e doctor says that because t h e B l a c k brother does n o t have a n image, o f himself or the image he has is extremely distorted, he is struggling to b u i l d a n e w o n e a n d t h u s i s suffering a neurosis. I cannot thank A l l a h enough for the most Honorable Elijah M u h a m m a d for m a k i n g m e a w a r e o f t h e t r u t h . This j o b experience brings to m i n d m y o w n insecurities I h a d as a lost Black w o m a n before I m e t Messenger Muhammad. I , too, had to fake a n i m a g e of being a seductive a n d dominating w o m a n

I was t r y i n g t o find another " s e l f " but w a s uncomfortable w i t h i t as i t was not m y o w n . Since I m e t Messenger Muhammad and the Nation o f I s l a m . I have found that "self" and I a m no longer suffering f r o m poor self -esteem. Brothers and sister—come to Messenger Elijah M u h a m m a d . H e is the m a s t e r psychiatrist and he alone can r e t u r n to us what was stolen by our s l a v e - m a s t e r i n the hells of N o r t h America.

N o w those i n plainclothes don't have t o be police, but there is no-telling w h o they a r e and w h a t they are representing. W h a t I a m sure of is this — that these people are up to no good.

Children deserve early education By Directress Ann X (Bradford) Muhammad University of Islam No. 8 San Diego, Calif. How early is "early enough" to start teaching your child? M a n y feel that the first f e w years a r e just sort of r o u t i n e a n d t h a t w h a t h a p p e n s during those first years w i l l not affect his life v e r y m u c h . T h e y c o u l d n ' t b e more wrong.

Why n o t teach t h e child while he still h a s those precious qualities o f a young child? W h y pass up the period of o p p o r t u n i t y w h i l e t h e c h i l d i s humble, pliable, willing and eager t o learn. So w h e n should y o u begin teaching your child for a life in A l l a h ' s favor? F r o m b i r t h o n w a r d — t h e r e is no t i m e to lose.

A l l this time, the child's intelligence is g r o w i n g , too. Many medical and childhood education researchers say that the concepts t h e child learns before h i s fifth birthday a r e among the most difficult h e is t o encounter. O n e o f these concepts is language, w h i c h is one o f t h e m o s t difficult intellectual accomplishments a child is ever called upon to p e r f o r m . If you doubt this, t r y learning a n e w language then you w i l l realize w h a t a m a r v e l o u s intellectual feat i t is w h e n a child learns t o speak. A n d remember, y o u already know one language t o refer t o , w h i l e a baby does not. A child has an amazing capacity for learning and Messenger M u h a m m a d

demonstrated that fact right o n t h e rostrum of the n e w Temple No. 2 during one afternoon o f teaching — w i t h the child o f a Sister Captain. But this ability needs use. development a n d guidance.

T h i s teaching also needs t h e parents' help; so m u c h depends upon the parents. During the child's first year, i t s habits begin t o f o r m . T h i s is when i t shows its willingness or unwillingness to r e s p o n d t o a d u l t demands. Obedience, w e a r e taught, is prehaps basic o f a l l A l l a h ' s requirements, next to righteousness. I t can m e a n the difference between life a n d death.

have Made Way for a New World to be Built under the Eyes and Guidance of Allah (God). T H E W H E E L is so wonderful that even the prophet had to declare it in these words, "O Wheel, 0 Wheel" meaning that he is admiring his vision that he was receiving from Allah (God). T H E W H E E L is the most wonderful and the most miraculous mechanical building of a plane that has ever been imagined by man. The planes on this W H E E L will be sent down, earthward and are capable of destroying the world almost at once. T H E W H E E L , (the Mother Plane) is capable of

carrying many people in it! The Wheel is Vi mile by V2 mile in size. T H E W H E E L is capable of sitting up above earth's atmosphere for a whole year before coming down into earth's atmosphere to take on more oxygen and hydrogen for the people who are on this plane (THE W H E E L ) O she is a wonderful thing! T H E PLANES that she uses to send earthward are so swift that they can make their flight and return their plane to T H E W H E E L , the Mother Plane, almost like a flash of lightning. 0 WHEEL! THINK OVER IT! After trillions of years should we let a baby, only six months old (6,000 years old) outwit us? This I say to those ignorant people of mine. I do not say this to the white man, for the white man knows, too. BUT, it is our Black People who the white man is desirous to keep dumb to the Power of our God, Allah. BUT, THINK OVER I T ! If the Black Man created the heavens and the earth..AND T H E BLACK MAN DID C R E A T E T H E H E A V E N S AND T H E EARTH...then what man is fool enough to challenge the Black Man. IT IS NOT that the white

man is a fool to try to challenge Allah. It is the intention of the white man to make a fool out of the Black Man and to try to show Allah that he can make a fool out of the Black Man. BUT, in a twinkling of an eye, Allah (God) can take away the heavens and the earth, not to think over a few little people just made, six days ago (6,000 years agon O W H E E L , the greatest most miraculous plane ever built. There never was such a plane made before this W H E E L . There never was a need for such a plane before now. Y O U may wish Mr. Enemy that you could get a shot at T H E W H E E L with your jet planes and other military weapons, but you should just go home and go to sleep.

The pro-Abernathy crowd, brainwashed into believing that a part of Dr. Martin Luther King's charisma has rubbed off o n a dull a n d insipid Abernathy because of his long association w i t h the m a r t y r e d civil rights activist, went wild with e x c i t e m e n t — rising t o its feet a l m o s t as one w i t h a t h u n d e r c l a p of applause and cheering that probably shook t h e foundation of St. John's Missionary Baptist Church.

The minstrel-show crowd, wrapped up i n t h e p r o p a g a n d a o f t h e m o m e n t , yielded and began shouting: " W e w a n t the president! — w e w a n t the president!"

MUHAMMAD SPEAKS

D r a m a t i s t f r e l e c t r i f i e s " New Y o r k By Joe Walker M.S. New York Bureau NEW YORK—A standing ovation, long and loud, rang throughout the Gershwin Theatre at Brooklyn College this summer as Vinie Burrows took bow after bow following her one-woman, two-hour show. Sponsored by the college's AfroAmerican Theatre Workshop, the evening had many humorous and moving moments, but all gutsy ones. The audience was mesmerized, spellbound and fascinated. The show w a s called "Walk Together C h i l d r e n " b u t should have been billed " A m e r i c a W i l l K i l l Y o u ! " THIS POWERFUL a n d v i b r a n t Black actress r a n the gamut f r o m a courageous, Sojourner T r u t h , t o Langston Hughes' racy, Alberta K . Johnson, t o B r o t h e r H a r l e m Bedford Watts "Telling M r . Charlie Where it's At." Described as " t h e Black journey f r o m auction block t o n e w nationt i m e " , M i s s B u r r o w s used t h e w o r d s of e x - s l a v e s a n d h i s t o r i c a l " B l a c k figures f r o m a l l periods—including Paul Laurence Dunbar, I m a m u Baraka, Nikki Giovanni, D o n Lee and others— t o dramatize t h e Black experience i n the wilderness of N o r t h A m e r i c a , past and present. T H E P O W E R O F her spoken w o r d and song w a s enhanced a n d reenforced by the use of taped music, .slide projections of paintings, r lithographs and photographs. One especially m o v i n g highlight was the recitation of Richard Wright's account of a lynching w h i l e on the screen appeared that gripping, n o w - f a m o u s photo of one such h o r r o r by a n a n o n y m o u s photographer. A l l these e l e m e n t s blended w i t h impact i n evoking the joys, sorrows, frustrations, hopes and a m b i t i o n s o f Blacks w h ohave endured a n d remained beautiful and battle-fuli n the m i d s t o f ancient a n d m o d e r n slave -masters." Later, this M u h a m m a d Speaks correspondent spoke w i t h V i n i e B u r r o w s i n h e r apartment, w h e r e she lives w i t h h e r husband, 13-year-old, 6 feet 1 inch s o n Gregory, a n d 8 yearold daughter.

THE REASON f o r c o n s t r u c t i n g h e r o w n show g r e w o u t o f h e r anger, frustration and rage a t a theatrical system that didn't utilize her talents as a n a c t r e s s .

B y doing her o w n thing with Black prose, p o e t r y a n d song, M i s s B u r r o w s has discovered n e w p o w e r s w i t h i n herself, is controlling h e r o w n destiny and ever discovering the richness o f Black culture.

Actress Vinie Burrows H e r one - w o m a n , B l a c k historypresentation has drawn tremendously favorable acclaim abroad: i n Algiers at the F i r s t P a n - A f r i c a n Cultural F e s t i v a l ; i n television specials i n Burcharest and A m s t e r d a m ; a six w e e k tour o f 28 cities i n t h e Netherlands; a n d a n appearance b e f o r e 10,000 p e o p l e i n a S t o c k h o l m amphitheatre. I N T H E U . S . , t h e going w a s r o u g h e r f o r t h e m e s s a g e w a s one that m a n y people didn't w a n t expounded. So i n t h e e a r l y d a y s o f h e r solo show, Miss Burrows performed before "captive" audiences i n jails a n d settlement houses. T h e n o n N o v . 1 1 , 1968, s h e o p e n e d a s the sole star o f " W a l k T o g e t h e r Children" a n d received unanimous and ecstatic reviews f r o m N e w Y o r k City theatre critics. I t w a s followed by a sell-out, three-week stint i n Philadelphia. Later, t h eshow returned t o N e w York and broke a l l existing records—its f i v e - m o n t h r u n being the longest f o r one person show i n o f f B r o a d w a y annals. T H E M A T E R I A L f o r Miss Burrows' chronicle of Black experience i n N o r t h A m e r i c a h a s undergone m a n y changes with selections being dropped and others added since she f i r s t introduced h e r

s h o w . I n 1968 s h e e n d e d i t w i t h Langston Hughes' " L e t A m e r i c a B e America Again." " I couldn't d o i t n o w . T h e words would stick i n m y t h r o a t , " she told M S . "Hughes words were a plea and m a y b e a s t h e 1960's w e r e n e a r i n g a n end B l a c k people w e r e still saying t o white Americans, ' Y o u built this c o u n t r y o n c e r t a i n ideals, live u p t o those ideals.' N o w i t isn't a question of w h i t e A m e r i c a l i v i n g u p t o w h a t e v e r ideals they profess but i t i s a question o f B l a c k people taking control o f those instruments a n d institutions that affect their l i v e s , " she d e c l a r e d . Today M i s s B u r r o w s ends w i t h D o n Lee's "Changes," w h i c h is not a plea but a mandate t o Blacks. She gets a n interesting reaction on the show f r o m senior a n d j u n i o r A f r o - A m e r i c a n spectators. O l d e r people see t h e s h o w as " a v i n d i c a t i o n a n d g l o r i f i c a t i o n o f their struggle" w h i l e younger people "learn where w e have been." S P E A K I N G A B O U T the rash of Black movies and resulting boxoffice profits today, M i s s B u r r o w s observed that " t h e essential element i s that B l a c k people a r e so h u n g r y t o see their experiences reflected and this is why the films are making money for white entrepreneurs w h o have no real

interest i n raising Black consciousness." She hopes that this period, however, is allowing Black performers and others to learn what goes into f i l m - m a k i n g and distribution. "With the tools of what they learn and their own Black consciousness, they can reverse the trend of negative image and fantasy films about Blacks," she said. The revolutionary Black actress says she is n o t suprised that the first stage of Black f i l m s w o u l d be m a r k e d by exploitation and inferior products. " I r e m e m b e r t h e kinds o f things Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks J r . did i n the beginning, those nonsensical things. Film-making was a new moneymaking toy. The early film-makers went berserk just turning o u t a l l kinds of j u n k because people w e r e so fascinated b y i t . T h e n they learned and hired people w h o p u t i t t o m o r e c r e a t i v e use," she said. BESIDES BLACKS n o w l e a r n i n g about t h e f i l m industry, Miss B u r r o w s also indicates that the t i m e is r i p e f o r B l a c k h i s t o r i c a l films—there is n o shortage o f characters a n d events i n t h e A m e r i c a n and A f r i c a n experiences. Regarding live Black Theatre, "The River Niger" and "Don't Bother M e , I Can't Cope" are playing to large audiences o n B r o a d w a y , and " C o p e " i s also doing well w i t h productions i n Chicago, L o s Angeles and Toronto. M i s s B u r r o w s finds a l l this good, including t h e success o f t h e N e g r o E n s e m b l e Company, but finds even m o r e laudatory, t h e w o r k s of Black c o m m u n i t y theatre groups, such as the Spirit House M o v e r s i n N e w a r k a n d similar groups i n Detriot, San Francisco and L o s Angeles. " T h e y a r e m o r e peoples' theatres," she said, a n d serve " a s a conduit t h r o u g h w h i c h t h e ideas, energies a n d philisophies of the actors and authors are pumped into the c o m m u n i t y and in r e t u r n t h e c o m m u n i t y responds and feeds back t o t h e creative artists."
