Proxmire corrects McGovern

MALE [sterilization CLINIC

AS WISCONSIN Senator William Proxmire pointed out the Richard Nixon administration must reduce its military expenditures if its new economic program is to work. Speaking as chairman of the Joint Economic Committee of Congress, Proximire said, "A cutback in US troops in Europe and a greater sharing of the costs of defense among our NATO allies, together with a final end to the war in Viet Nam, would significantly improve our balance - of - payments position and give out economy a chance to recover."

In contrast to Proxmire's forthright exposure of the relationship of the war to the economic crisis, Presidential hopeful George McGovern (D—S. Dak.) was claiming that the war would' not be a big issue in the campaign. McGovern incorrectly separates the war and economy issues and says he will concentrate on the latter.

I t r u n s in family WASHINGTON—President Nixon's brother, Edward C. Nixon, is director of a mutual fund which is presently under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The agency lists the US ambassador to the Netherlands as vice president. The investigation involves transactions dealing with purchases and sales of securities for the Oceanographic Fund, a New York mutual fund.

AT ANY rate, he appears to be doing a lot better than Nixon's cousin, Phillip Milhous, who is on welfare.

J a m a i c a using J i m C r o w T H E JAMAICA Progressive League of New York presented a petition to the United Nations Human Rights Commission on August 19, charging that the Government of Prime Minister Hugh Shearer is violating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by withholding the franchise from 250,000 voters.

Jamaicans who attained the age of 21 after October, 1969, the petition stated, will not be able to vote in the next national election.

The petition also cited criticism of the Shearer Government by religious, political and business leaders in Jamaica and quoted an editorial of the Daily Gleaner, a Kingston newspaper, as saying: "The Prime Minister has apparently deliberately taken no part in the debate. We think he should have, because he is presiding over a government which is saying... there is nothing wrong about having 42 per cent of the eligible voters... disenfranchised." Though the country is Black, the tactics used

by Shearer are like those used against Blacks, Spanish - speaking peoples and (formerly) women and youths in the USA.

I m a r i accuses F B I 'We will never fire first, but we will defend ourselves,' said Brother Imari Obadele, president of the Republic of New Africa, in explaining the recent shootings in Jackson, Miss. Showing compassion for the slain policeman, Imari said L t . William Skinner was 'an intelligent and workman - like policeman.'

Imari condemned the F B I , the Jackson chief of police and other officials for sending Skinner on an illegal and terroristic raid.

Noting that whites did not mourn for deaths of Jackson State college students killed by white police last year, Imari urged Blacks to show superior qualities by expressing sorrow for Skinner's death resulting from the orders of his racist bosses.

Cop k i l l s in C a r o l i n a COUNTY - W I D E BOYCOTTS, mass rallies and jail - ins have begun in Ayden, North Carolina, to protest the brutal killing of William E a r l Murphy, 32, by a State trooper. Murphy was arrested by trooper Billy Day as Murphy was seeking a loan from a hardhearted employer. The trooper handcuffed Murphy and put him in the T R U N K of his patrol car. Later Murphy's corpse was delivered to a hospital with bruises all over it, a deep gash on the forehead and a bullet hole entering from the back.

Southern Chrisitian Leadership Conference Field Secretary Golden Frink was among 25 people arrested during one of the daily mass protests in Pitt County. Blacks are demanding the removal of Day, an investigation and correction of other illegal police actions of the killing.

Multi-national E t h i o p i a unites for l i b e r t y

By Ali Baghdadi When the European colonial governments agreed to divide Africa among themselves in the Berlin Agreement of 1885, they made Ethiopia a local base and a small partner and guardian of their illegal interest in the Eastern section of the Black Continent.

AS A RESULT of this collaboration the Ethipoian puppet emperor extended his corrupt and suppressive rule to neighboring lands.

The neighboring African people, whose countries were usurped by the Ethiopian ruler, were denied independence and the preservation of their own identity and language.

The oppressive backward reactionary futile system continues to exist to this day.

However, the European powers were replaced by US imperialism and its off-shoot, Isreal, which built military bases to protect their economic and political interests.

For many decades the many people and nationalities suffering from this oppressive rule have revolted in defense of their freedom and their right to self determination.

Telegrams needed to protect prisoners in San Quentin

George Jackson September 23, 1941 — August 21, 1971

By Judy Richardson Drum and Spear Press (Special to Muhammad Speaks)

WASHINGTON The following letter from two Black inmates was smuggled out of the Adjustment Center at San Quentin two days before the murder of George Jackson there. The two brothers who sent this letter are accused of killing a guard during the week of August 2nd who was guarding an inmate in the prison hospital. The inmate was slated to testify against the Soledad Brothers.

T H E W R I T E R S of this letter were put in the hole immediately following the incident and never given a chance to deny the charges against them.

Prisons are seen as worlds unto themselves.

Prison authorities are rarely held accountable for punitive actions taken against inmates.

Often - times within the California penal system prisoners (and particularly Black prisoners) are punished with no charges put upon them, but simply because of something known as "institutional convenience."

As one of the brothers writes: "At the time of the incident, I ( E a r l Gibson) was a patient in the hospital for an injured back. The prison guards ran in and ordered me out of my sickbed and threw me in the hole... we are being framed, therefore we have no doubt that the frame - up will be played to the end."

Given the highly questionable circumstances surrounding the murder of Brother Jackson on Monday, it is important that the authorities-see that others outside the prison are concerned about the safety of Brothers Gibson and Justice, the two remaining Soledad Brothers and brother Ruchell Magee. This is the only protection which they and all the other brothers in the Adjustment Center have at this time.

Letters and telegrams should be sent to the brothers at the addresses listed below.

Telegrams should also be sent to Associate Warden Park at San Quentin expressing concern for the safety of the brothers in the Adjustment Center and particularly for those brothers mentioned above.

QUENTIN'S FRAME-UP

AS O F July 21, we ( E a r l Gibson and Lawrance Justice) have been charged — by the prison administration — with two counts; assaults on an inmate (supposedly an informer) and the murder of a prison guard, recently stabbed in San Quentin. The S.Q. Administration is attempting to frame us because of our close association and political awareness.

OUR PAST activities have been to expose the barbaric and inhumane treatment now existing in these warehouses under the guise of Department of Correction. This is one of the reasons why we are being framed (and also) because of the indiscriminate way the administration use to arrest any Black person as a suspect for a crime.

AT T H E T I M E of the incident, I ( E a r l Gibson) was a patient in the hospital for an injured back! The prison guards ran in and ordered me out of my sick - bed and threw me in the hole where I am forced to sleep on a concrete, slab, which is more onerous to my back injury.

W E ' R E NOW in a maximum security wing in the adjustment center. This is where prison guards ran in our cells and beat us and forcibly extracted blood from our arms and took our finger prints.

I AM NOW serving a five -tolife term. If found guilty of these crimes, it means automatic death in the gas chamber. As we stated before, we are being framed, therefore we have no doubt that the frame - up will be

Bro. Ruchell Magee played to the end.

T H E NEWS MEDIA has once again started planting reactionary seeds in the minds of the people. We have already been prosecuted before our trial. Warden Parks made a statement in a newspaper article declaring, "We are going to make an example of them."

Bro. John Cluchette JUDGING FROM this statement one can assume that Warden Parks doesn't care whether we are innocent or not. He has already assumed that we are guilty and has instructed his pig - agents to act as such.

F O R INSTANCE, we are doing more isolation time than the rule prescribes, not

Bro. Fleeta Drumgo allowed our personal property, (and face) constant harassment. Our mail has been stopped.

WE DO NOT have faith in the American system nor it's courts. But we have faith in the people. Only by the people's support will we receive justice in fascist America.

New population control program disguised as 'preventive medicine' Special to Muhammad Speaks CHICAGO — Upset by growing Black awareness that the imbalance between funds for population control and funds for health, housing and education is a sign of genocidal policy, the rich whites who want to reduce the Black population are coming up with population control disguised as "comprehensive health" programs.

T H E U R B A N L E A G U E is the main Black organization aiding in this new approach to population control. Aiding the U L are other groups, including a "revolutionary party," which like the League are willing to perform unpleasant tasks if the pay is high enough.

MUHAMMAD S P E A K S learned from a League source who objects to the program that the League here is seeking a grant to try a "new approach to family planning outreach and follow up."

The main trick in this "new approach" is to pretend to parents that infant mortality, mental retardation, malnutrition, poor education, poor housing and other real problems suffered by Black citizens are caused by so - called overpopulation.

B Y BRAINWASHING people into thinking that the size of their families is the source of poverty, the League and the other groups involved will let the plundering militaryindustrialists and swindling big bankers who profit from poverty off the hook.

The League proposal states that the Black population control mercenaries will tell Black parents that social ills are "a high price to pay" for having several children — as if the only choice before people is to eliminate children or to watch them die early.

The League has gathered "militants" and "nationalists" around it in order to give them a "piece of the action." The role of the "militants" and "nationalists" is to give the program a good name among awakening groups in the community by describing it as "revolutionary" preventive medicine.

Naturally, some good will result from the program's recognition of other health problems. But better health programs do not require disproportionate population control spending. And balanced against this short term good is the long term decline in the numbers and spirit of Black people in America. The facts show we are not living better in the many cities where our birth rates have been reduced.

T H E P R O G R A M which the League is embracing is, in the words of the proposal itself, only an effort "to update and broaden" the attack against the "Black population launched by the Rockefellers and .other multi - billionaires whose sole interest is to reduce the number of US citizens seeking wages from the business enterprises run in the sole interest of a few wealthy whites.

To participate in this genocide, to give it a Black "stamp of approval," the League and the well known "revolutionary party" have joined in the grant proposal with the US Food and Drug Administration (pill and I U D dispensers), Cook County Hospital, the Chicago Board of Health and other organizations which have never been known for their concern for the health of Black people.

T H E U R B A N League has long represented the interests of an elite bureaucratic bourgeoisie within the Black community — a sort of middle man between the oppressed poor and the oppressor.

To maintain and expand its operations, the tasks set before the league and its kind become increasingly destructive in a period marked by nationwide economic crisis. More blood spots smear the hands and money all the time.

The uneasy crowd had to be quieted on two occasions so that the proceedings might be heard inside the church.

Jackson was slain, as was his brother, under questionable circumstances at the hands of California prison officials at San Quentin. Warden and prison spokesmen contend that.

Jackson was leading an escape attempt from the maximum security prison with a gun they said he hid in his hair after it had been smuggled to him during a visit immediately before the disturbance.

Jackson, husky and resistant to attempts by prison officials to break his will to resist the oppressive jail conditions, was well familiar with security and the dangers of such an attempt. He was said to have been running toward a 20 foot wall after breaking out of the prison adjustment center where he and the prisons' other so-called problem prisoners (those who resist brutalization) were kept.

Many have questioned whether one so intimately aware of the massive security weaponry inside California's prisons would have tried such an apparently foolhardy move, leaving much room for assassination theories.

Prison officials immediately clamped a "lock-up" condition on the entire facility and undertook severe repressive measures according to unofficial reports and rumors brought out by prisoners' attorneys.

The prison was locked to all outsiders until midweek while guards and officials secured the remaining inmates (two white prisoners and three white guards were killed during the same melee) by searching every cell, shaving off all "Afro" hairstyles, and in some cases launching physical attacks, according to further unofficial sources.

Soledad brothers defense team personnel charged the prison with suppressing the true evidence of the case and with tampering with and destroying other evidence during the period when no outside doctors, attorneys and

only a few "handpicked" newsmen were allowed inside.

At the end of the week a delegation of Black community leaders including outspoken Congressman Ron Dellums.

San Francisco Assemblyman. Willie Brown and Dr. Carlton Goodlet, physician and publisher of San Francisco's Sun Reporter newspaper.

Able to see only what the warden and state officials showed them or permitted them to see. they openly admitted that they had seen what prison officials had claimed all along—that after the initial beatings things were back to "normal." However, the prison adamantly refused to allow them or any other group of Black officials or dignitaries to conduct a full investigation.

But while authorities seemed to make the most of the case, angry mothers of prisoners charged that their sons inside were being beaten, that they were not receiving proper medical treatment and that even sanitary conditions had been made inoperable.

When the mother of John Clutchette denounced a judge in a hearing concerning the Soledad Brothers, a bloody melee resulted.

Jackson's body lay in state in an open casket for viewing before and after the services.

He was then shipped to Mount Vernon, Illinois, to be buried in his home town beside the body of his slain brother Jonathan.

I During burial ceremonies his mother, Mrs. Georgia Jackson. cautioned some official mourners to "stop that preaching." She explained that George Jackson did not like preachers and that he would not like it if preachers tried to rebuild the christian church on his body.

(Earlier she told Muhammad Speaks that those who are confused by the killing should not be. " It's just the same old thing," she said. "No one should be confused by it." She also recalled that MS was the first national publication to carry the story of the Soledad Brothers. MS correspondent Charles 20X covered the story almost two years ago.)

FRIENDS of George Jackson carry his casket past 1,500 mourners in Oakland, California. Later body was transferred to family plot in Mt. Vernon, Illinois, where Jackson's younger brother Jonathan also lies. Jonathan was killed in desperate attempt to save his brother from legal lynching. Frame-up attempt against Angela Davis stems from Jonathan's actions.

"If I leave here alive, I'll leave nothing behind.

They'll never count me among the broken men, but I can't say that I'm normal either.

I've been lied t o and insulted too many times.

They've pushed me over the line from which there can be no retreat.

I know that they will not be satisfied until they've pushed me out of this existence all together.

I've been the victim of so many racists attacks that I can never relax again...

I can still smile now, after ten years of blocking knife thrusts, and the pick handles of faceless sadistic pigs, of anticipating and reacting for ten years, seven of them i n solitary.

I can still smile sometimes, but by the time this is over I may not be a nice person.

And I just lit my seventy - seventh cigarettee o f this twenty - four - hour - day.

I'm going t o lay down for two or three hours, perhaps I'll sleep...

WHY DON'T Y O U JUST T A L K A L I T T L E ABOUT T H E IDEA OF THE TRIP? Peggy: We were going to look into accusations of student repression in Saigon. At that time Mam's trial was scheduled for the 27 of July and so we planned to arrive before that date. We were hoping to get into the trial, so that he could get some press coverage.

We thought that way he could get at least something of a fair trial—which was kind of ridiculous we have since learned.

We told the Vietnamese Embassy that we were going as a fact-finding mission, to study the pre-election procedures, otherwise we would never have gotten visas.

THERE ARE MORE PRISONS THAN SCHOOLS in Saigon; that includes universities, high schools and elementary schools. These students bravely demonstrate against US presence in their country. All of them risk imprisonment and torture when they From what we understand a lot of the strong student repression started with the Vietnamese students' association with the NSA trip headed by Charlie Palmer that went to Saigon in December of '69. They had a march with the Student Union and the

women's groups which ended up getting gassed by Saigon police in front of the American Embassy. Right after that Mam was arrested, and imprisoned for two months. He said that was when he was tortured the worst. Other Saigon students told us that

express majority of country's desire to see their anti - democratic invaders leave immediately so they can unite for progress irvthis captive nation, when Mam was released he was unconscious for over a week because of the torture.

The students told us that when they carried him outside on a stretcher, they thought he was dead.

We felt fairly safe that nothing would happen to us

when we were over there. We figured we would use ourselves to protect the Saigon students.

That's a sideline we can maybe get into later on.

Western press. Last month nearly 1,000 Ugandan troops had been killed on the Tanzanian borders by guerillas General Amin charged that from Dar E s Salaam. The press here played up Amin's version of the story.

OFFICIALS IN Tanzania including President Nyerere rejected that version as completely untrue and viewed the lie "as an attempt to account for Ugandan soldiers killed in internal clashes since the January military coup in which former President Obote was overthrown."

According to a recent article in the New York Times—which has strongly supported the Amin regime—"on July It, General Amin left for a trip to Israel and Britain, and a few hours after his departure

fighting was reported at Barracks at Moroto. The shooting spread the next day to Jinja, where it lasted until Julv 14, and to army units at Arua, Masindi and elsewhere, sources said." Furthermore, the article says that a group of "dissident and disloyal soldiers had attempted a counter coup when he left for Israel."

It is speculated that the backers of Amin may now be looking for a better or more sophisticated puppet. They speak of the disappearance on July ninth of two Americans in Uganda who had been investigating the situation there. A US Embassy official told a commission of inquiry that evidence indicated that an army unit had detained the two men.

We made a few initial contacts with the international liaison of the Student Union whose name is Miss Vu Thi Dung, and she started setting up appointments for us—with students, with Mam, with the women's groups, and religious groups—the organizations that are just grouping together now, into a sort of third force grouping. I don't know if that's a really legitimate term, but, nevertheless, it's antigovernment and it's not communist.

Peggy: They have something called the "swan program" In which they introduce, how do they put it, "Beautiful Vietnamese girls" into the movement in South Vietnam as informers. They have a whole organization for this.

Marijean: About the universities themselves. Their whole budget is intertwined with the role of the American advisor there who decides whether they should get American money or not. The faculty of science decided for some reason that they didn't want to have an American advisor there so therefore they have absolutely no money.

(LNS photo) Marijean: I got the impression that the students support Big Minh. I don't think they saw him as great. I don't think they saw any of the presidential candidates as being great leaders.

We saw Thieu drive down the street one day, and they completely cleared the streets of any Vietnamese about five or ten minutes before he arrived. And then he's well protected in the front and the back with bulletproof vests and motorcycle police. and soldiers with bulletproof vests.

Peggy: It's interesting how they're using Ky at this point.

Because Ky seems to be in contact with the students, which really surprised me.

We got the impression that people are using him in a way.

Because I think—just my own political observation—Ky knows that there's going to be a coup, whether it's going to be right after the election, or right after the Americans withdraw. As long as he stays with Thieu, he's just as dead as Thieu is.

They really think that that is the way to bring about the end of the war. But they realize that the Americans are not going to take advantage of the Seven

Peggy: What was also very interesting was their interest in Nixon's trip to China. All the students kept asking us, "What do you think about the China trip?" and the Vietnamese press kept asking what we thought—what were the ramifications. Because they're viewing it very skeptically.

They're seeing it as just something taking away from the Viet Nam issue.

Southern Blacks strive for political unity

By Samuel 17X

M O B I L E , Alabama — Over 500 Black political leaders and activists recently met here in a three - day weekend Black Caucus which was called to create a viable, independent political structure for Blacks to work within during the 1970s.

ORGANIZED by former Black Alabama gubernatorial candidate Dr. John Cashin, the caucus was attended by such political notables as Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton, Mayor of Washington D . C . Walter Washington, Vice Mayor of Atlanta, Maynard Ferguson, Congressman John Conyers of Michigan, Congressman Parren Mitchell of Maryland, Georgia State Representative Julian Bond, former SNCC Chairman John Lewis, and Operation Breadbasket Director Reverend Jesse L .

Jackson.

Set in a friendly, getting together - back - down - home once - more atmosphere the Caucus was able to reach many inportant points of agreement stemming from two days of workshops, and three major addresses.

One of the important points of agreement was the selection of three co - chairmen for the Southern Black Caucus. They are Julian Bond of Georgia, John Cashin of Alabama, and Mayor Charles Evers of Fayette, Miss.

Another important point of agreement was the selection of a steering committee with a representative from each southern state who will work to implement resolutions drawn from the Caucus.

MAJOR A D D R E S S E S were delivered by Comedian politician Dick Gregory, Congressman Parren Mitchell and Representative Julian Bond.

Addressing the group on Friday night, Gregory began humoring his audience with sharp, political jokes. One was about a white airplane passenger who said to him: "Things look so bad, looks like we're heading into another depression."

Whereupon Gregory answered: "Well, we (Blacks) never got out of the last one!"

Growing more serious in his address, Gregory told his audience that "If you fast for just one day you can see something bad's going to happen (to America) one day soon... but the difference between America and Rome is that you got (such things going on) as a lot of Black people at a meeting here tonight...

" I will never eat until the war ends in Viet Nam," he said, as he warned his audience not to worry about him and his health, but rather to worry about "all the degenerate sickness in this system!"

Congressman Parren Mitchell D-MD. also addressed the Caucus. Mitchell called for a doubling of the present 13 Black U.S. Congressmen to 26 in 1972 and a doubling of the proposed 1972 figure to 52 in 1974.

"It seems to me that if the administration is interested in Black economic development then its agencies should be the

this year." Question: Debut into what?") and invest into Black banks, Black co-ops and Black savings and loan associations.

On the last day Julian Bond addressed the group. A seasoned political man by now, Bond read many proposed resolutions into his speech which called for the construction by Black elected officials of small democratic community organizations...

Southern political activists and elected officials explore coalitions with any groups which recognize that Blacks "have permanent interests..."

Congress of A f r i c a n people set meeting NEWARK—The Eastern Regional Congress of African People will be held in Newark from September 2 to September 6. Site of the conference will be the West Kinney Junior High School, 301 West Kinney Street.

D E L E G A T E S ATTENDING

REP. PARREN MITCHELL charged the Small Business Association (SBA) with a stingy policy toward struggling Black businessmen. Parren said that SBA recently gave $300,000 to a white firm facing bankruptcy to teach Blacks how to succeed in business. main vehicles through which it works toward that goal."

But, according to Mitchell, if the Small Business Administration is any indication of the administration's agencies' work towards Black economic development then the Nixon administration is not really interested in Black economic development.

SBA shortcomings observed

by Mitchell are that of its own 39,000 employees only 300 of whom are Black; of its 10 regional directors, none are Black.

Mitchell said that when ever the SBA does make loans to Blacks, it is generally to those businesses which don't offer much competition to white owned businesses.

After announcing findings on SBA which reveal that their loans to Blacks are considerably less proportionally than to whites, Mitchell said, "You might get economic power, but you'll have to take it."

One way for Blacks to take economic power, according to Mitchell, is to "Do away with the money spent" on such meaningless and absurd social functions as the cotillion, ("Gloria is making her debut

Mongolians aware of racist lies

By John Woodford (Part three) U L A N B A T O R , Mongolia—(In the first two articles in this series of Mongolian people's ancient history and modern revolutionary history were central topics.

This installment begins a series of sketches made during a 900mile five-day jeep trip in central Mongolia.)

"SANBAINO," the man greeted us. When the jeep pulled up at the tsum headquarters. A tsum is an agricultural brigade or work team, the smallest unit of a collective farm. This one was a very small settlement, located in the middle of a grazing area as most of them are. Health, education, supplies and cultural centers are found in tsums.

Small children kept a distance away from the visitors, scattering giggling every time a camera pointed in their directions. But an older boy trotted over on one of the tough Mongolian ponies with the zebra -build.

He stopped near the man who had greeted us, relaxing on the horse while the man squatted on the dusty ground, squinting under the typically bright cloudless sky.

He said his name was Nikmara and that the boy, Ihrtin, was his son. Nikmara's job was to tend the engine for the local well. Plumbing has a long way to go in these rural settlements. Life is not yet modernized in the countryside but things are getting better year by year.

Ihrtin, who was around ten years old, helped his father and also tended sheep in grazing areas surrounding the brigade center. The local school is closer than 30 miles so Ihrtin

j US nuclear threat | HANOI - While pretending that President Nixon's trip to China has something to do with peace in Southeast Asia - a claim denied by the People's Republic of China as well as the North Vietnamese and National Liberation Front, and the USSR - the US military is unleashing heavy bombing raids on the Demilitarized Zone.

H U N D R E D S O F tons of I bombs per day have been dropped by increasingly active B-52 bombers.

In addition, according to a Japanese Communist Party leader, the US has deployed nuclear weapons in South Viet Nam. The Japanese.Tetsuko Fuwa, and Hanoi negotiator in Paris, Xuan Thuy, point out that the war is ruining the US economy, and that this may encourage US imperialists to resort to quick, mass destruction.

TSUM HEALTH CLINIC in central Mongolia. Tsums are small aricultural brigades, smallest units of collective farms. Life is steadily improving in Mongolian countryside. Five to ten doctors are available at sucb clinics and if patient is too sick to get adequate treatment here a specialist is flown in or patient is flown to larger hospital.

So many people seem worried about what was written about their country that I asked what had been written by travellers from the West in the past.

To justify their government's no-trade and, in the case of the USA, no -recognition, policies journalists from the monopoly owned press had published lies all too familiar to Black Americans who are also objects of racist mythology and distorted "history."

Both Aitangerel, our interpreter, and Saravish detailed a few of these samples of "bourgeois propaganda:" Mongolians have been accused of being hungry and poor. But actually with 18 head of farm animals per each citizen that is a pretty bold lie to spread.

Each family can own about 50 head of cattle for its own personal use. They tend hundreds which belong to the people collectively.

AS FOR HUNGER, Mongolians eat meat and dairy products three times a day if they want them. That is more than you can say about the 30 million poverty stricken US citizens and their counterparts in Western Europe and neocolonies dominated by countries with exploitative social systems.

"An English writer said Mongolians were wild and ate raw meat," Saravish laughed.

Other lies picture Mongolia as a puppet state of the Soviet Union, a victim of so-called "social and cultural imperialism." a term spread by the US State Department and by mystical pseudorevolutionaries—both of whom seek excuses for their own inability to improve the material standards of life of citizens in their countries.

Signs of oppression of the cultural or neo-colonial sort are easy to see when you come from an oppressed nation yourself. I saw none of it in Mongolia and hope that more Black people can go there to check my impressions.

The Mongolians hope more people from the USA and lands controlled by those who own most of the USA can visit here because they know Mongolia sets an example for those

No one can exploit another person in Mongolia. The private herds and farm plots must be worked by those who own them—no one can hire another person for work on any private property. And the products of the limited personal property cannot be sold on the market. They are restricted to personal use.

THIS SITUATION was not forced on the people. They chose to limit the size and use of the nation's property after tens of years of experimentation. This method of planning their economy was chosen because with it the herdsmen improved their production yields. their security, their incomes and the health, education and welfare of their families.

IHRTIN, one of Nikmara's sons, enjoys outdoor life which contributes greatly to health of Mongolians. Though only around ten, he is already old' as far as Mongolian jockies go. Big 15 to 25 miles races feature jockies six to ten years old. Even though 50-year-olds still tend herds from horseback, competitive racing is special. Mongolians also enjoy saksim bumbuk' (saksim means 'basket; bumbuk means ball)!

T h e O n e Kennedy exposes AMA statistics as false y o u c a n

WASHINGTON A false statement issued by the American Medical Association i AMA i was challenged by Senator Edward Kennedy of Mass. recently.

T H E AMA CLAIMS that no one in the U . S . seeking medical aid dies for the lack of it.

Kennedy says this is "just not true."

"I can give you chapter and verse, about the people who have been brought into emergency rooms and died there or were turned away."

Kennedy said.

He went on to say not only do people die for want of medical attention in the US but children on Indian reservations are starving because of insufficient food or under nourishment.

"There are places in this country where you can get the best in the world, there is no question about that. And there are also places where you can get just about the worse."

Kennedy said.

Concerning the outrageous report about rising medical costs. Kennedy branded as false the AMA's claim that doctors fees have not risen.

"The facts are to the contrary, "Kennedy said.

"Doctors fees have been rising at five times the increase of the consumer Price Index, and hospital fees are 2*2 to 3 times as high."

Doctors fees have surpassed living costs by more than 40 per cent according to figures compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

How government r i g g e d s u r v e y to d i s p e l f e a r s of g e n o c i d e By Lonnie Kashif (M.S. Washington Bureau) WASHINGTON, D.C. Muhammad Speaks learned recently that the sinster nation - wide government backed scheme for interrogating

Black families — uncovered and exposed in July of 1970 by this newspaper — has definitely been ok'd and funded by a government agency, and reportedly underway in many cities.

THE S C H E M E , as exposed bv Muhammad Speaks,

was ostensibly designed to "determine the extent to which alienation, Black militancy and race consciousness" influence Black women's attitudes toward birth control.

But the underlying thrust of the plan, called a "survey" by

it's authors, is clearly to discover methods of persuading Black families to accept mass birth control in genocidal proportions.

In connection with this scheme the Population Reference Bureau recently published the results of a study conducted in 159 Black

households in a medium - sized city in New England (not identified by researchers at the University of Massachusetts) which allegedly proved that Blacks "discount genocide" as the motive behind birth control programs.

BLACK SOLDIERS who have risked their lives for the government of South Korea are finding that white racist soldiers are pulling same tricks there that were practiced in Europe. Villagers above got angry after Blacks retaliated against local discrimination. Such phrases as nigers and 'go back to cotton field' show work of southern whites who dominate military. Meanwhile in North Korea, which US mass media describes as a dictatorship, Blacks are sincerely welcomed as brothers and sisters. South Koreans uninfected by US propaganda are also friendly with Blacks.

Friend of Fanon, Lumumba

By Charles Simmons U.N. Correspondent DAR E S SALAAM, Tanzania — If you ask a man :on the street, or a student here, who is the most familiar government figure other than the president or vice president in the United Republic of Tanzania, the reply will inevitably be: "Babu!"

Officially, he is known as Abdul Rahman Muhammad Babu. Minister lor Economic Affairs and Development Planning, and Member of Parliament.

THE FREEDOM fighters based here refer to him as brother Babu." Tanzanian students are already reading of the Minister as a leader of the revolution in Zanzibar, although few may know that he accompanied Frantz Fanon and Patrice Lumumba to the famous conference of Accra during the Algerian liberation struggle which changed the tone of the meeting from C o n t i n u e d : M

The "undentified" city.

Muhammad Speaks previously revealed in it's 1970 exclusive, was Hartford. Connecticut, and the research team was headed by Dr. William A. Darky, director of Public Health at the University of Massachusetts. The "survey" was considered a "pre - test" and the larger nation - wide scheme was to be contingent upon results.

Darky, a Black man, though claiming to have authored the idea, and listed as the chief director in a proposed grant for funds from the National Institute of Mental Health of the Department of Health Education and Welfare, was more accurately a Black "Front" man for the government's major population control and genocide advocates. Darity disclosed at that time that the Hartford survey had been conducted "with as few white faces as possible."

The published results of the "survey" are not surprising, though obviously dubious.

Darky's background as a well paid advocate for population control is well known. He is a board member of the notorious Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and three of his immediate survey assistants, one of whom is a white female statistician, have received previous grants for studies in Barriers to Fertility Control.

An indication of the results

s u r v e y

intended by the pre - test and upcoming national scheme by these researchers can be seen in the wording of the key "yes no" question: "Encouraging Blacks to use birth control is camparable to trying to eliminate this group from society." Quite obviously this unqualified "all - or - nothing" question would draw a limited number of "yes" responses.

According to the report. 28 per cent agreed while 72 per cent disagreed, thus researchers claimed that genocide was being discounted.

DESPITE THESE trick questions however, the researchers found, undoubtedly with dismay, that Black men under 30 years of age polled 47 percent "yes" on the question of genocide. From these results one might correctly assume that the "yes" percentage would double or triple were an unbiased survey to be taken.

As a further tell - tale indication of the intent of the nation - wide interrogation, the origianl grant application stated that the study "is important because the high Negro fertility is a P R O B L E M in population policy pro grams..."

The cost of the grant was originally estimated at $108,918. Picking up the tab for the grant now will be the Center for Population research, a unit within the National Institute of Child Health Development.

The writer will discuss, from a professional point of view the following questions: 7 . What rule must be invoked to determine precisely when a test is to be declared unrelated to a specific job?

2. What guidelines should be used to determine when job skill in a specific category can be considered self-evident hence requires no aptitude or placement test?

3. To effect uniformity, what guidelines should be observed in the preparation and administering of job tests?

4. What method or methods can be effectively used for the purpose of determining when discriminatory job tests or associated testing procedures are in effect?

USE OF JOB TESTS to keep Black citizens from gainful employment or promotions is widespread in USA. As author of accompanying article points out, it often takes knowledge of statistics to fight this crime because statistics are used to commit it.

A part of this — at least $30 million — has had to go for food imports from the United States under PL 480.

Commenting on this, the Daily_ Graphic said the huge expenditure for imported food, particularly cereals, should be cut by modernizing the country's agriculture.

The government proposes to cut the unemployment rate by

financing a home building program with $12 million.

The budget is accompanied by belt - tightening decisions such as banning the import of automobiles, poultry, television sets, radios, soft drinks, furniture, cigarettes, and fish, placing a special tax on gasoline and levying a development tax on all earning more than $1,000 yearly. Civil servants have had their car

George Okondor, financial spokesman for the opposition Justice Party, said the government's steps to end the crisis would made conditions' worse. He said the rise in gasoline prices would increase the cost of passenger fares and transportation rates and result in increased prices of other commodities

F i g h t i n g job Whereas before the Federal Government was not always empowered to prosecute for violations of the 1964 Equal Employment Opportunities Act, this ruling, apparently, gives the authority to so act.

Also, it seems that once a final court decree has been rendered clarifying alt~major questions likely to be raised it will then have the power to issue cease and desist orders to all affected by the law to force immediate compliance.

MYTHOLOGICAL

THINKING

The justification for restricting more than 95% of Black workers to unskilled, low paying jobs is related to the myth which holds that Black workers are, in general, not qualified for the higher paying semi-skilled, skilled and professional jobs. Any other reasons given would be equivalent to a tacit admission of discriminatory practices.

As the reader knows, myths are very difficult to prove.

Without giving them a chance to prove themselves it is usually decided on the basis of unrelated job tests that Black workers are not qualified to learn certain jobs.

It has never been admitted that such tests are not infallible and in this way the objective method of disproving the myth is avoided altogether.

Nor does it help to point to other successful Blacks. They are considered as exceptions to the rule. One may ask, how many exceptions to the rule are there?

Might not one deemed unqualified also become an "exception to the rule" if allowed to prove himself?

OBSERVATIONS

Without any professional knowledge, the layman himself knows that discriminatory practices persist in essentially all job categories. Also, it is a matter of public record that numerous applicants are denied participation in on-thejob training and other programs as well as entrance to such professional schools as medicine, law, nursing, dentistry, engineering, etc.

bias

Likewise, applicants having successfully completed a prescribed course of training are denied employment or the right to practice their professions.

I n both types of situations it is either the aptitude test or job placement test which is the initial obstacle.

Moreover, matters are so arranged that there are other impediments to employment.

Indeed, between the time a job seeker files a n application and the time he actually receives it he must pass through a number of stages the first of which is the job test.

In the absence of strict enforcement of the Equal Employment Act an employer can be as arbitrary as he pleases giving any number of subjective reasons for denying employment at his discretion even when the applicant is otherwise qualified.

PROVE

When presented with concrete evidence the adversary is more or less forced to admit to discrimination. At the same time he will hasten to point out that the observed cases are isolated and "not the general rule." Herein lies the difficulty in proving the existence of a pattern of discrimination.

To prove discrimination it must be shown that a disproportionate number of Blacks are so victimized than whites. It is not generally known that there exist precise methods—called statistical decision techniques—for measuring the extent to which discriminatory practices persist in a given job category.

However, application of such techniques requires access to the files on employment applications, specifically as regards to tests administered, corresponding test results, supporting documents and final disposition of the application.

Access to this information is not always easy to obtain since such data is frequently considered to be confidential.

OBJECTIVES

prove discrimination one must use some professional knowledge usually possessed only by the experts. The writer himself is a mathematical analyst possessing some expertise in statistical analysis. His arguments are restricted to this area. For clarification of specific legal questions growing out of the study the reader is respectfully referred to a legal expert.

The object, then, in discussing these matters here is to share with the reader certain knowledge and techniques which may prove to be useful in proving discrimination as in eliminating myths long held

By Margary Hassain T H E WOMAN of Islam, by rights, has the highest position of any woman in the society of the Nations of the Earth. We were blinded to that knowledge, until Allah (God), Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praises are due forever, came and raised up His Messenger Muhammad and taught him the true knowledge of us. Messenger Muhammad teaches this knowledge to us. It is the work and mission of Messenger Muhammad, to reform us and recivilize us. and prepare us to take our place. The Black woman of America must be prepared, for she does not know her place and she does not know how to take her place. The clothes which the Muslim woman wears are the clothes appointed by Allah (God), for her to wear.

T H E R E G A L garments of the Muslim woman cover her from her high neck-line to her long sleeves, to her ankles. She is well tailored and well -groomed.

WHEN A Black man or woman of America becomes a Muslim, he or she reclaims their membership in the Nation of Islam.

Messenger Muhammad teaches us, and the Holy Quran Chap.

33:59, verifies, to the women, "... let down upon them their over garments. This is more proper, so that they may know, and not be given trouble. And Allah is ever Forgiving. Merciful." How proud we are to be the Woman in Islam.

of righteousness turns toil into joy

W o r k

By Bro George 1IX Muhammad's Mosque No. 4 Washington, D.C. Joy should ring in the hearts of every Black brother and sister here in Washington D.C. We have a living manifestation that a new nation of people are rising. A nation whose only desire is to serve our Savior and Deliverer, Allah (God) and His L a s t and Greatest Messenger The Hon. Elijah Muhammad.

T H E SIGN we speak of is none other than the children and young men of the University of Islam. We say children and young men because all of the Muhammad's University of Islam Students are young men and women; and the adults have the spirits of children when they come together with our young for the cause of elevating the lost brother or sister to the cause of truth.

Every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday a huge battalion of righteous soldiers line up in ranks with the greatest weapon of truth ever to exist.

MUHAMMAD S P E A K S . We use the word battalion because of its meaning: a body of troops or an army in battle array, a tactical unit composed of a headquaters and two or more units.

This is a fitting description for the junior F O I and Senior F O I in array behind the loud speakers going throughout the Black community inviting our people to hear the life giving teachings of our Beloved

Leader, Teacher, and Guide, Messenger Elijah Muhammad.

The little F O I make up over one - half of this force; but the work they produce is the work of true men. To them the task of taking truth in Muhammad Speaks to our lost brothers and sisters is a great joy.

These are young followers of Messenger Elijah Muhammad whose average ages are 6-11.

Already they have been blessed with the spirit of Allah to fight in the cause of truth.

When these little brothers approach a lost brother or sister, their righteous beauty captures the hearts of our people. The people know not why they fling open their hearts and doors to these brothers, as well as purchase from them the Muhammad Speaks Newspaper; but we know that it is the reflection of Messenger Elijah Muhammad and the Great God that raised Him up, Master W.F. Muhammad to Whom Praises Are Forever Due. Recently, while traveling through the Black community, we sang these words while walking back to headquaters: "All Praises Are Due to Allah, for The Honorable Elijah Muhammad" (over and over).

Some people stopped in their tracks; some people stopped cars, and others came out of stores and shops to witness a righteous procession of brothers spiritually elevated from seeking to help in the work of Messenger Elijah Muhammad.

Messenger the true freedom fighter

By Sister Josephine 2X Muhammad's Mosque No. 30 To be free is to be unrestricted.

This bears witness we are not a free people — we are four - hundred years up from slavery and are now in a condition of servititude.

M E S S E N G E R MUHAMMAD'S T E A C H I N G S is removing the shackles from our brains, enabling us to have freedom of mind, therefore, exempting us from subjection to the will of the Devil and making us submissive to The One, True God, Whose proper name is Allah. To submit to do the Will of Allah is truly Freedom.

Messenger Muhammad is rescuing us from a wicked people who put us in this slavish condition, causing us to lose the knowledge of self.

Yes! this "Master Thief" robbed us of the of our God. our religion, and our culture, as he was permitted to do.

Now, the beautiful teachings

given to us by The Teacher is removing all of this. It is time for the bottom to come to the top.

Black Brothers and Sisters, are you ready to rise with us?

Is it not your nature to want to be on top? What goes up must come down. You can see this wicked world is coming down right before your eyes. The Black Nation will never fall again.

COME TO MUHAMMAD'S MOSQUE of Islam with an open mind to hear the Teachings of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Submit to Almighty Allah, that you may be free to go and do for self in the way of Islam, which is Freedom, Justice, Equality.

As a matter of fact anyone who visits the Mosque to hear The Teachings of Messenger Muhammad actually takes his first step towards freedom.

Believer thanks minister I would like to take this time thankful to you, Brother to thank Brother Minister Minister, is to carry out what Theodore G. X of we've been taughtMuhammad's Mosque No. 50, I realize that we've got to try Oklahoma City, so all will harder to "practice what we know we truly love our Brother preach" as the saying goes. So Minister. that in the near -near future we W E THANK him for doing will truly be exemplifiers of such a fine job of bringing the the divine Teachings of our divine Teachings of Messenger Beloved Leader and Teacher Muhammad to the mentally our Righteous Guide. The Most dead people here.

Honorable Elijah Munammad We've been taught much and — Messenger of Allah (God). have an awful lot to learn. But Thank you Dear Holy Apostle the best way we can be truly for Minister Theodore G X.

(Ed. note—Following is a portion of a n article written almost one and one half (IVi) years ago.

The events foretold in it are coming t o pass today for a l l to see.

Not only are the hard times predicted by the Messenger of Allah afflicting the United States in every imaginable form, but also the Black man and Black woman in North America are rising to a renewed sense of duty and purpose.

Even leaders of the Christian church are admitting this mighty truth today, where yesterday most preachers slandered the Nation of Islam and mocked the Divine Teachings o f The Honorable Elijah Muhammad.

Only this month, writing from distant Ethiopia, the Rev. Hosea Williams, veteran leader of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in many civil rights struggles across the Deep South, wrote t o The Messenger: 'Dear Honorable Muhammad—After touring ten African countries we have learned a lot about the struggle of poor and Black people.

We have a/so learned that you are Number One a l l over.'

The letter is signed

by Rev. Williams and his wife, Juanita.

The evidence cannot be disproved.

Muhammad is The One!'

THE DUTY of the Black Man is to do something for his Black self and Black kind. THE DUTY of the BLACK MAN is self-preservation.

E V E R Y L I F E that is created on the planet earth has a duty. It is bound to this duty, by nature, to do something for self.

THE ONCE slave Black Man in America — enslaved by the white people, his white slave master and enemy, made the Black Man a subject and keeps him a subject by depriving the Black Man of the knowledge of self and the doing for self.

These are the two most hated things which the white man hates to have come to the Black Man — the freedom to DO something for Black self and the freedom to THINK for his Black self. The white man hates for the Black Man to be a visionary for his Black self. He hates for the Black Man to control ideas that will produce recognizable constructive plans and doing for Black self. We are just entering into a day and time that we should have had 100 years ago.

AS YOU S E E , my Followers and myself try the utmost to do something for self and this is hated by white America.

We are an example for the Black People here in America who wish to try to do for exercising such freedom for Black self that white America would like to go to war with you and destroy not only your efforts and the produce which you are producing, but they even want to destroy your life, your self, because of your efforts to do something for self.

But we just do not have fear of white

people, anymore, also we have control of ourselves. We can show them that we are guided by God, and that we rely on Allah our God and that He is our Avenger against our enemies and is quick to Retaliate as it is written, "He is Quick to Take Retribution". The whole country of America is visited by all kinds of calamities because of the evil that white America has done to us, the Black onceslave. Allah (God) is Happy to Retaliate.

He Wants to Fight. He Does Not Want us to fight, He Wants to Fight the white man for us. We the Muslims are not going to try to prevent Allah (God) from Fighting for us by putting ourselves in the way. We stay out of the way and let Allah Fight for us.

THE BLACK Man here in America, in Africa and everywhere on our planet earth is hated, despised and opposed by the white man for his efforts to do something for self.

OUR DIVINE DUTY today, is to unite on a constructive plan that I have by the Help and Guidance of Allah (God), set before you. Your efforts, Blind Black leaders, is to have it to say that you lead this people into that plan, in order to get some name for your own Black leadership, which you are not qualified to do, today. It is Divine Leadership that will win for the Black Man and not political leadership, nor christian leadership.

CHRISTIAN LEADERS have in the past and up to the present day, made much merchandise out of the Black Man in America. It takes a very good spiritual and understanding church preacher to do anything constructive for his people. And he cannot do anything constructive through Christianity. He will have to come to Islam for there is no hope for you in the church. The church is a house of slavery made by the white man for you and me a long time ago and its head is in Rome, Italy. We see how much trouble the head is having. There is not hope for us in any christian religion and you the Black preachers are the big boosters of the christian religion. It was organized and is backed by the white man in order to make merchandise out of the Black Man. He has made you to think that Jesus established the church. Jesus prophesied the doom of the church, while he himself did not know it, and the doom of the white man and all who go in their religious belief.

T H E R E ARE a few white people who

believe in Islam. We give them credit for their belief, but they are not by nature a' true Muslim. The Black Man is born a Muslim; by nature, he is a Muslim. The Black man is not to be made into a Muslim. But white people, if they accept Islam, they v ill be made Muslim on the principle of their belief in Allah and His True Religion, Islam. We call them Muslim through their faith or belief, but they are not Muslim by nature. But we the Black People are Muslim, by nature.

THE DUTY of the BLACK MAN is to do for self and think for self. This duty is now made binding upon us because of the loss of the world power of the white man.

The power of the white man is falling

Ch. 9:43-59 The Hypocrites.

43 Allah pardon thee! Why didst thou permit them until those who spoke the truth had become manifest to thee and thou hadst known the liars?

44 Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day ask not leave of thee (to stay away) from striving hard with their wealth and their persons. And Allah is Knower of those who keep their duty.

45 They alone ask leave of thee who believe not in Allah and the Last Day, and their hearts are in doubt, so in their doubt they waver.

46 And if they had intended to go forth, they would certainly have provided equipment for it; but Allah did not like their going forth. So He withheld them, and it was said: Hold back with those who hold back.

hourly. We can no longer look forward for the white man of America or of the world of his kind, Europe, to care for us. I keep warning you of this. Do not you remember the parable (in the Bible) of Jesus concerning the rich man and the poor man (Lazarus)? The poor man lay at the rich man's gate. While the poor man was suffering in poverty and want and begging, the rich man lived sumptuously, but at last the rich man died. In the hell of poverty and want the rich man lifted up his eyes to Lazarus and asked for his help.

And Allah well knows the wrongdoers.

48 Certainly they sought (to sow) dissension before, and they devised plots against thee till the Truth came, and Allah's command prevailed though they did not like (it).

59 And if they were content with that which Allah and His Messenger gave them, and had said: Allah is sufficient for us; Allah will soon give us (more) out of His grace and His Messenger too: surely to Allah we make petition.

By Clarence R . X . (Mitchell) & McKinley X (Thomas) HOW THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION VIEWS T H E B L A C K MUSLIMS? Now that we have reached the eleventh link of the chain of WISDOM, it is only natural for the following question to arise.

How does the present administration view the Black Muslims'".''.'

THIS IS a very good question.

Since 1962 or there about, we the Black Muslims have been able to reason with the administration To make it so that you can better understand the administration's view, below are some quotations from the present administration, and we would like to thank them for their personal views. Some are white and others are Black. " I wished we had 1500 Muslim inmates, frankly." he says, alluding to their excellent rehabilitation records!

Mr. Anderson L . Magruder, Associate Deputy Superintendent "In the last five years, the Muslims here at Lorton have been very instrumental in getting the inmates to understand the importance of getting an education."

Mr. J.A. Johnson, Supervisor of Education " I respect the Muslims for the pride that they have for themselves, and I also respect the Muslims for the respect they have for women."

Mr. C. Kinsey Supervisor of Clinical Guidance " I have the same respect for Muslims that I had for them back in Baltimore. I have a great respect for them.

Whenever one joins the faith, his insight on life becomes great, during my experience with them. They are very pleasant people. They are doing a lot for the young people in their schools. The Muslims are very orderly. If we had more Muslim schools we could get some where. I enjoy reading the Muslims' paper (Muhammad Speaks). The Muslims are going somewhere without tearing up the world."

Dr. C. LeComte. M.D.

"The Muslims that I have personally come in contact with treat me like a man. and I also feel that they would do the same if they were on the streets. The ones that were in my class were very energetic to learn. " Mr. Wiley, Vocational Instructor " I feel that the Muslims here at Lorton (now) are model prisoners. I wish we had other groups such as your group."

Mr. Deese, Sergeant "The Muslims here display good conduct. They are very mannered individuals, whenever I take them uptown.

They don't run all over the place, like other groups that I take uptown. They also help to keep each other out of trouble."

Mr. B a r n r dficer "The Muslims are very cooperative. I have never had any trouble with any oi them.

They mind their own business.

Once one joins the faith they seem to have more respect for themselves. They are well mannered. I get along with all of them."

Mr. Holt, Sergeant "The Muslims are very disciplined and very respectful and cooperative, including all the members of the group. I must say they are a well organized group."

Mr. Cdlbert, Officer "In my associating with the Muslims they are very cooperative. They are very helpful, curious and interested in the food that is served."

Mr. Primus, Bakery Supervisor "I feel that the Black Muslims' are the best selfdisciplined group. and everyone is neat in appearance. which is outstanding here at Lorton Reformatory."

Mr. W.B. Fulton, Lieutenant Mr. N.S. Gordy, Lieutenant "It is. in a considered opinion, that the followers of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad here at Lorton Complex are among the most trustworthy and responsible of the inmate

Y O U

population. In regard to those members who have been under my direct supervision, in all cases the men were in the top ten per cent of the class academically and first in department.

It has been rewarding lor me to work with many Brothers in the sphere of interpersonal relations."

Mr. R . G . Lucas, Barber Shop Instructr "The Muslims" Group in the academic school. evening classes and group meetings have the responsibility for evening activities in the academic school.

I have observed this group and found them to be very cooperative in keeping good order and discipline in all their meetings.

The members are friendly, courteous and well behaved to each other, to other group members and to all the administration personnel.

They appear to take all their studies very seriously. They have required very little supervision.

I deeply appreciate the way all of them cooperate and work with me and their personal appearance is a good example for other residents."

Mr. C. Hall, Senior Correctional Officer No. 3 Watch Academic School Now that you have read quotations from the various prison officials, surely the opening question has been answered to a degree, since our Leader, Teacher and Guide teaches us to do everything right and to be exact.

We must point out here and now, how the administration here permits outside trips for the Black Muslims to attend religious services and have dinner at Muhammad's Mosque No. 4, Washington, D . C . under the direction of Minister Lonnie Shabazz.

On these trips we are escorted out to the tower where we are picked up by Minister Shabazz or Captain Harrell X and returned to the institution by the same. At the present we have brothers who participate regularly in these outside trips.

Our beloved Minister Thomas X Howard Jr. here at Lorton Reformatory has not only helped in getting such outside trips, but he has. with the help

Dear Brother Frederick 2X Peals: Your donation is the first money that has been offered to me on the building of these manificent, Damasean Style homes. This is about a two million ($2,000,000.00) dollar building deal. It is very expensive, but I thought that it was necessary that I do so.

These homes are now under construction and they are due to be completed by the end of December. I am building them for the sole purpose of letting the dead (mentally) see that this can be done, as Allah Promised us, who submit to HIM, M O N E Y , GOOD HOMES and F R I E N D S H I P in all Walk of Life.

Until now, we have all lived in old homes, formerly owned by the white man.

I thank you and everyone who can give a little change on these homes. Although I have not asked anyone for help, I appreciate your help, if you are well able to help.

T H E B R O T H E R H O O D here is starting to move because the rays of the Sun (Truth) have struck and penetrated the brain cells of the believers and has made them move faster than before. We believers consider ourselves a planet so we are rotating along with you.

Some stars are bright and some stars are dim but they all shine according to the volume and capacity of the light they

have. As we add new lightthe total light will shine that much brighter.

Master Fard Muhammad is the greatest scientist and mathematician the world has ever known. His Messenger reflects this supreme science and math, just watch the Messenger at work you will see that his Divine gifts are from Allah.

Let us understand the power of Allah and his Messenger. Your mother or father couldn't get you to do right but a few words from Muhammad turned your whole life around. The army, navy and police forces couldn't get you to do right, but Muhammad did.

Allah is the Greatest and He lhas provided a great Messenger for us, so count us as another planet rotating around the sun.

of Mosque No. 4 through the administration, been able to sell bean pies in the canteen, at different affairs and social gatherings.

On June 20, 1970 we had a Unity Bazaar; April 12th, 1971 we held our first "Night With The F O I " affair. The food, such as bean pies, cookies, brownies etc., came from the Shabazz Bakery for these affairs.

Certainly from the above you can and will evaluate and determine the views of the

administration here at Lorton Reformatory in regard to the Black Muslims.

Our progress is much more vast than expressed above, because we haven't mentioned the many books they have bought for our use (Message To The Blaekman In America, Holy Quran etc.). But maybe we will be able to mention more in another brochure if it pleases Allah and His Messenger. All praises are due to Allah, in Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad.

As the planets rotate around the sun in their due and steady course, we the followers of the Holy Apostle have attached ourselves to a fixed orbit (submission) and we too move joyously around the light of the sun.

BACK TO SCHOOL: the dismal condition of US education is expressed in this scene shot by unknown photographer. Funds for buildings, books, equipment and teachers' salaries are being sucked down the drain by the Viet Nam war, the Cold War stake-out of troops around the world, the support of militarists and fascist governments and the massive propaganda and spy operations conducted by organizations like the CIA. This leaves nothing for children, who represent the future of any society. No amount of threering circus acts over the artificial 'busing crisis' can conceal the true causes for the growing crisis in US education. (LNS photo) LEGAL NOTICE

Nghia's life was temporarily saved when a military policeman sprayed him with a fire extinguisher before he was taken to a hospital with burns on 80 per cent of his body.

Students meet in Chicago

By Gerry Tyler Special to Muhammad Speaks CHICAGO—Delegates from around the nation are gathering for the 2nd annual convention of the National Association of Black Students herein Chicago.

ACCORDING to NABS'figure about 250 students have registered. They are meeting in a city college here on the city's west side and at a motel at least three miles away.

At this writing, the convention is halfway finished and key resolutions have yet to be passed. To be discussed will be resolutions concerning the 18-year-old vote and its consequences.

Gwen Patton Woods, national staff member and consultant for the group said that it was highly important that the vote of youth be encouraged. Its effectiveness will be instrumental in Philadelphia to stop the Democratic candidate for mayor, former police chief, Frank Rizzo, a racist "law and order'' candidate who promises repression by the truckloads to Black citizens if he is elected.

Workshops around anti imperialist struggles, the draft, financial aid for Black students, the returning Black FREDDIE Oelux:

"Though we as members of the Black community are referred to as student for the sake of clarification, we the members of the National Association of Black Students wish to officially present as our First Principle the idea that we are not students but workers attending an institution of learning so as to gain revelant skills for the one and only purpose of putting these skills to use in the Black community so as to make a significant contribution to the people's struggle for liber,ation."

THE STUDENTS have arranged sessions from ten in the morning to the wee hours of the next. What will be the outcome of the time lies in

Masai deciding modern science brings progress

By Charles Simmons

UOSHI.Tanzania — Adult education has come upcountry in Tanzania and in this Kilimanjaro region the First Secretary tells me that by December 1971 illiteracy will be eliminated due to the regional planning for subsidized teachers, open enrollment and free tuition.

ALTHOUGH T H E farmers don't attend classes during the harvest time, they learn faster than most youth, says the First Secretary. One remarkable example is that of a 70 - year old woman who enrolled in the adult education class and has learned to read in the first week of studies. She says that it is now possible for her to teach others in her community to read.

According to the First Secretary, or highest ranking civil servant in the district, there are 23,000 illiterates in this district, but 20,000 of them are now enrolled i r the classes. School enrollment also includes the once nomadic Masai tribe, famous for their cattle raising and war resistance against the white settlers who immigrated to Southern Africa.

In Moshi, I had breakfast with two Masai tribesmen who said they owned 2,000 head of cattle together and sold about 300 head per year to the government. This contradicted reports I had received in Dar

es Salaam to the effect that the Masai refused to sell their cattie since big herds gave them prestige. It was claimed that only under a great deal of pressure would they sell one head of cattle.

More than one million of Tanzania's 13 million or so cattle are in Masailand. This is a territory where livestock outnumber the human population by ten - to one.According to H. Cheche, a staff writer for the NATIONALIST newspaper, "It is believed that if Tanzania's livestock industry was properly exploited the nation could easily become selfsufficient in all livestock products.

Today Tanzania continues to import large quantities of these products from overseas and the neighboring countries, and by so doing, it loses part of her much needed foreign exchange."

A step was taken in 1965 to develop the Masailand which covers some 24,000 square miles of sparsely populated land — when the Masailand Range Development Commission was set up. The Commission's task is to provide more water supply to the vast ranchland and the improvement of pasturage and pasture management. This, says Cheche. will make Masailand cattle of economic value not only to the Masai but to all Tanzanians.

MASAI YOUTHS learn art of cattle breeding at early age. Each child owns considerable head of cattle at birth. Modern techniques, education, science are now being chosen by the Masai as means to build better lives for selves. Those in Tanzania find a government sympathetic to their traditions; those in Kenya are reportedly meeting more antagonism. Tanzania's government is pledged to noncapitalist path of development; Kenya's has placed country in bowels of neo-colonialism and Western monopolies.

House said: "This is one of our most dramatic firsts and should be an inspiration and encouragement to other Black students.

T H E F I R S T counselee is Arike Abiola (Geraldine Logan), a third year medical student at the University of Illinois School of Medicine.

Miss Abiola has been associated with the Council for Bio-Medical Careers for three years and has been active in its drive to recruit more Black medical students. She was herself recruited from her job with the State of Illinois where

By Lonnie Kashif (M.S. Washington Bureau) WASHINGTON, D.C. "These white priests have had their Black harems in the Black neighborhoods long enough, and we're going to put a stop to it," a young Black woman declared, as she and several others picketed the noon mass at St. Paul Augustine Catholic Church, the oldest predominately Black ,.parish in the District. ' T H E WOMEN, all Catholic, said that they had decided upon dramatizing the ordeals Black Catholic women have endured for centuries, "In the interest of waking up the 'mentally dead' Black Catholics...to the Politics of Genocide." practiced by the white church hierarchy.

The target of the women's protest was the church pastor.

Rev. Leonard F . Hurley, whom they accused of exerting "sinister pressure" upon Black nuns and lay women to "keep them in their place" and to "whip them into line." They demanded the immediate ouster of Hurley who had been reassigned to the church last v October, after several years absence.

The women's protest echoed the growing sentiment among Black catholics across the country who no longer tolerate the church's White Father image and are "wrestling with their souls" over the issue.

As Mrs. Gloria Thompson, one of the protesting women, put it, "Many of us were born into Catholicism. This is all we

A 3.5 million US technical assistance agreement has been signed between the two governments.

The Tanzanian government

has provided more than $3 million to the Komolonik Ranching Association which has been very successful in changing their conditions. The financial aid went for the construction cattle dips, boreholes, piped water supplies and roads.

Since the Masai are decreasing the extent of their nomadism, and are no longer on the move in search of land and water, it is now possible for the government to provide them services as it does to other farmers.

The Masai are also being brought into the agricultural field. In the same area, some have started raising wheat, and in the first harvest on a collective farm their produce was 3,000 bags.

The next step for the Masai as they become permanently settled is to turn the settlements into ujamaa villages of living together and working together for the benefit of the whole country.

Police have open season to kill 'imported' workers

By Robert 9X (west coast bureau) LOS A N G E L E S - Justice is portrayed, symbolically, as a blindfolded woman carrying balances for the avowed purpose of dispensing her wares "measure for measure."

The blindfold supposedly indicates that she is impartial in her ministerings.

LAST MONTH four police officers charged with federal violations arising from the killings of two U N A R M E D Mexican nationals in a downtown hotel on July 16, 1970, were acquitted of all charges brought against them by federal officials.

Guillermo and Beltran Sanchez, brothers, were slain by policeman in what was described by witnesses as nothing less than "coldblooded executions."

Reportedly acting on "stoolpigeon" information that a wanted man was occupying the premises, Los Angeles and San Leandro police members invaded their apartment and according to hotel residents began firing at point-blank range at the six Mexicans occupying the apartment.

The testimony of witnesses revealed that as the terrified men attempted to flee the

B a n k s a n d steel

The Morgans—one By Chester Sheard Special To Muhammad Speaks The dual role played by many of the big bankers of the United States can be seen in the board rooms of multibillion dollar steel companies and major railroad firms as the tie between the two are especially close. Many of these ties are formed through individuals belonging to the Morgan family.

combined assets of five billion dollars made possible by 75,000 workers.

The Morgan Guaranty Trust Company is more than twice as big with its 12 billion dollars. A Morgan director sits on each of the two companies' railroad boards.

Sante Fe's Morgan man is Ellwood Clark Patterson of New York, who just happens to be the President of the Morgan Guaranty Trust Company.

While Stephen D. Bechtel, Morgan Guaranty director, finds a comfortable chair for himself in the boardroom of Southern Pacific.

P R I M E E X A M P L E S of steel 'railroad collaboration can be seen in the management structure of the top personnel When J . P . Morgan, financial helping to direct the giant wizard of Wall Street, founded industries. The interlocking U.S. Steel in 1901, his vision of maniupulations that decide the extent of future steel needs prices, wages and other important issues confronting motivated him to invest in the both industries can best be Pennsylvania Railroad.

These companies have "We certainly are sympathetic with the problem Continued: of the minority workers, but

of top tribes i n USA through the years, as Morgan's fortunes from steel and rail increased, the only people who received just compensation for making the huge profits were not the workers but those who sat at the directors' tables, making sure that the wealthy kept their wealth at the expense of the laborer.

Sitting at the directors' table of US Steel and Penn Central today is Franklin Clark Lunding of Winnetka, Illinios.

Considering he works for the Morgan estate, Lunding's dual ties are no accident.

Aiding him in the Penn Central's board room conclave are other steel men, namely, Director Edward J . Hanley who finds it necessary to occasionally fly home to

Pittsburgh to head a board meeting of the Allegheny Ludlum Corporation.

Hanley is director of the Mellon National Bank and Trust Company of Pittsburgh.

His bosses are the billionaire Mellon family, another ruling class tribe in the industrial and financial world.

Another example of strong rail and steel ties is Norman Chandler of Southern California. Not only is he a director of the Sante F e line, he also sits on the boards of Kaiser Steel and other corporations of awesome power.

Serving both rail and steel companies is the influential Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago. One of its top

directors is William J . Quinn who also serves as chairman of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul Pacific Railroad which has very strong Morgan connections.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, a two billion dollar outfit, is linked to steel through its chairman, Cyrus Eaton of Cleveland. Eaton founded the Republic Steel Corporation which is today the third largest steel producing company in America.

Many peoples' lives depend upon what goes on in the plush board rooms of the financial giants of American rail and steel industries. The steel and railroad kings have the Nixon Administration on their side as evidenced by the recent strike breaking efforts of the President.

S a k s m a n a g e r says ' m i n o r i t y classes' f i t 'to m o v e t r a s h ' we cannot interfere with our obligation to stockholders," another Gimbel's representative told reporters.

The committee also tried to block plans for construction of a giant store in the Yorkville section oL New York City.

Gimbels has already evicted 50 families and will soon begin to demolish apartment buildings to make way for the store.

When residents found out they could not stop Gimbels in spite of a zoning law prohibiting uch large stores in the area, petitioned Gimbels to enlarge the already congested subway station which will serve the store. Gimbels has

refused.

Gimbels has also ignored demands for the installation of pollution control devices on incinerators and trucks.

But the boycott committee has had some effect. A successful picket line in Cambridge had Gimbels nervously posting policemen

around the building and putting huge signs in the windows — "YES, WE A R E OPEN FOR BUSINESS." For more information write to the New England Committee to Boycott Gimbels and Saks, 27 Thayer Hall, Harvard, Cambridge. Mass.

O n Science H o w medical SAN F R A N C I S C O - We want to call your attention to a gr ve problem in human medicine here in our nation: the increasing numbers of infants and children who are suiiering nutritional damage in utero because their mothers don't have enough decent foods to eat all through pregnancy.

SCIENCE HAS not yet entered the field of human maternal - fetal nutrition in the USA in terms that can be readily explained to the people. We know quite well how to feed pregnant cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, horses, dogs and cats... with great scientificcare. bui the wisest obstetricians deny that such knowledge should be applied in human pregnancy.

The Fourteenth (14-th) Edition of Williams' T E X T B O O K O F OBSTETRICS edited by Hellman and Pritchard, 1971, reflects well the "nothing is known" attitude of contemporary obstetrics. Here is a real challenge to those of us who have grown tired over the years of the constant lamentations about poor maternal - fetal and newborn health here in our nation and who want to act to remedy the situation.

In this standard text used by medical students, interns and residents throughout the nation, there is a total repression of a long line of scientific works linking pregnancy complications

textbooks among our poor with malnutrition.

We are firmly convinced that one of the basic elements of scientific nutrition which has been ignored by obstetricians in our nation is high biological quality protein. We are firmly committed to the thesis that malnutrition among the poor is related to deficiencies of many associated nutrients, but a glaring need during human pregnancy is for more and better quality proteins.

Preoccupations with such notions as "weight gain," dietary salt, diuretics, edema etc., have served to block out

& JWebicine conceal

the physicians' minds the basic science of nutrition.

TO F I N D that Hellman and Pritchard devote only one 11line paragraph to "protein" in human prenatal nutrition is a glaring omission, a shock in view of the great unmet needs of our pregnant poor and the world's pregnant poor for high' biological quality proteins.

Deficiencies in high biological quality proteins and related deficiencies of essential nutrients and calories are directly related to the following complications of human reporduction:

Should b a c k teeth be r e p l a c e d ?

Will m i l k prevent tooth d e c a y ?

By Dr. Leo P X McCallum Chicago, 111.

Last week we thought it might be an interesting change of pace to discuss some of the many aspects of dentistry and dental treatment in a True or False format. Let's continue this week and view again some of the popular facts vs fallacies in modern day dentistry: True or False? A toothache does not require the attention of a dentist since it will often disappear by itself.

False: A toothache is nature's warning sign that something is wrong.

Even though the pain may go away for a time, a dentist should be consulted.

Toothache may occur because decay has started and is working its way toward the pulp which contains

the nerve. If the pain stops after a few days, it may mean that the pulp and nerve are already destroyed and you are carrying infection and disease about in your mouth. Or pain may be caused by the pressure of an abcessed tooth.

Periodontal disease (often referred to as pyorrhea) affecting the gum or bone surrounding the teeth may cause pain that may resemble that of a toothache.

True or False? Large Fillings weaken teeth.

False: Unfilled cavities weaken teeth much more than properly designed and indicated fillings. If a filling is lost it should be replaced immediately.

True or Flase? Drinking lots of milk does not appreciably

affect the rate of tooth decay.

True: No amount of milk will prevent tooth decay once teeth are fully formed.

Milk however is the best dietary source of calcium, a mineral which is essential to the healthy growth of teeth and bones. But once the teeth are fully formed, at about 13 years of age, calcium intake ceases to have any effect.

True or False? It is very important to replace back teeth as well as front teeth that are extracted?

True: If a missing tooth is not replaced with an artificial tooth, in a vast majority of the cases the other teeth tend to drift into the empty spaces.

Once they are out of their proper position there is likely to be too much stress on certain teeth when food is chewed. This causes further displacement of teeth and injury to the jaw bone and tissues that attache teeth to -the jaws. Also food is more likely to become packed into spaces between irregular teeth and this can lead to decay and be a factor in periodontal disease.

True or False? Everybody can expect to lose his teeth and have to wear dentures eventually.

False: Teeth were meant to last a lifetime, and, in most cases, they will with proper home and professional care.

BLACK BRITISH SOLDIER on alert in Belfast, Ireland, is proof that Black men can die anywhere.

Confrontation between pro-imperialists and national liberation supporters has caused almost 30 deaths hundreds injured and thousands to leave their homes. Catholic minority and many Protestants, too, are fed up with Irelands 8 0 0 - y e a r oppression by England. Religion is not really key issue, despite claims of Western mass media.

N E W Y O R K - Owners of homes or autos who renew their insurance policies during the next three months may find higher rates inspite of the much advertised freeze. The

Insurance may rise Insurance Information Institute indicated it will try to push through increases by pretending that the increases were scheduled before the

Nixon - imposed deadline.

IT IS not clear how such a date can be established â&#x20AC;&#x201D; short of taking the notoriously crooked insurance companies' word for it.

M E X I C O C I T Y , Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Want to know the value of fasting? Study the motive for alcoholics tending' to eat so little. Want to suffer from loss of memory, liver disease, increased tensions and stress, alcohol metabolism, nausea, vomiting, nervous conditions? Become an alcoholic.

At least these observations can be deduced from findings on alcoholics which were contained in research at Harvard University Medical School and the National Institute of Mental Health.

The findings were presented by Dr. Jack Mendelson, professor of Psychiatry at Harvard, before the seventh annual Symposia on Recent Advances in Neuropsychiatry which was held here.

According to the research findings, it is false that alcoholics eat a small amount of food because of the calories obtained from the alcohol they consume.

The Harvard research team said that the true reason alcoholics reject food is they know they will gain a greater "high" or become intoxicated faster when not eating.

Eating was held to reduce intoxication or "spirits" in an experiment studying the effect of reduction of caloric intake of alcoholics.

alcoholism The adverse effect of alcohol on the memory was shown in a study which revealed that when the alcoholic tells what he knows of one of his drinking bouts, he is generally in error as to what actually happened.

Mendelson said tests showed that short-term memory begins to fail as alcohol in the blood rises above 250 mg./lOO ml.

Concerning the harmful effects of alcohol on the nervous system, Mendelson said that "it is our feeling that changes produced in the C.N.S. (Central Nervous System) by the intake of alcohol are probably more significant in this process of accommodation than the adaptation of metabolism."

One of the important new findings of the studies was that rather than suffering from dehydration after long-term drinking, the chronic alcoholic actually experiences increased hydration. This observation can change the concept of treating alcoholics for withdrawal.

It was also noted that the cerebral blood flow was reduced to 40 per cent during withdrawal. This is held by the reasearchers to cause the tremors, convulsions and other discomforts experienced during withdrawal from alcoholic intoxication.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa—Winnie Mandela, wife of Nelson Mandela, former head of the African National Congress (ANC) movement, now in prison for life at the notorious Robben Island was arrested by settler policemen on 27 July in her house near Johannesburg, according to official sources.

T H E REASON for the arrest has not been revealed. Mrs. Mandela's lawyer said the measure might be linked to a so-called violation of Mrs. Mandela's house arrest dating back to September 1970. She had been acquitted after a long trial for opposing the South African government.

The arrest included that of a South African Journalist (Rand Daily Mail) who had

kidnapping

KAMPALA. Uganda Ugandan sources say reactionary supporters of southern Sudan's anti government movement have kidnapped an Army captain attached to the Sudanese Embassy in Uganda.

The source said the kidnapping was connected with the current trial in Khartoum of German mercenary Rolf Steiner on charges of aiding secessionist fighters in southern Sudan, antiLumumba forces in the Congo, and pro-Biafran forces in Nigeria. The captain who has not yet been named is said to have been seized at a nightclub in the suburbs of the Uganda capital on 7 Aug. The kidnappers have made no contact with the Ugandan authorities and no trace of the captain has been found. The kidnapped officer is believed to have been responsible for adminstrative matters in the embassy.

Muslim Program stoop

What the Muslims Want 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 doss or color.

3. We want equality of opportunity. We want equal membership in society with the best in civilized society.

4. We want our people in America whose parents or grandparents were descendants from slaves, to be allowed to establish a separate state or territory of their own—either on this continent or elsewhere. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to provide such land and that the area must be fertile and minerally rich. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to maintain and supply our needs in this separate territory for the next 20 to 25 years—until we are able to produce and supply our own needs.

Since w e cannot get along w i t h t h e m i n peace a n d equality, after giving t h e m 4 0 0 years o f our s w e a t and blood and receiving in return s o m e o f t h e w o r s t t r e a t m e n t h u m a n beings have ever experienced, w e believe our c o n t r i b u t i o n s t o t h i s land and the suffering forced u p o n us by w h i t e America,

j u s t i f i e s o u r demand f o r c o m p l e t e separation in a state or t e r r i t o r y o f our o w n .

5. W e w a n t f r e e d o m f o r all Believers o f I s l a m n o w held i n federal prisons. W e w a n t f r e e d o m f o r a l l black m e n a n d w o m e n n o w under death sentence i n i n n u m e r a b l e prisons i n t h e N o r t h as w e l l as the S o u t h .

W e w a n t every black m a n and w o m a n t o have t h e f r e e d o m t o accept or reject being separated f r o m t h e slave master's children and establish a land of t h e i r o w n .

We know that the above plan for the solution of the black and white conflict is the best and only answer to the problem between two people.

6. W e w a n t a n i m m e d i a t e end t o t h e police brutality and m o b attacks against t h e so -called Negro t h r o u g h o u t t h e United S t a t e s , W e believe t h a t the Federal g o v e r n m e n t should intercede to see that black m e n a n d w o m e n tried i n w h i t e courts receive justice in accordance w i t h the l a w s o f t h e l a n d — o r a l l o w u s t o build a n e w n a t i o n f o r ourselves, dedicated t o justice, f r e e d o m and liberty.

7. A s long a s w e are not a l l o w e d t o establish a state or territory of our o w n , w e demand n o t only equal justice under the l a w s o f t h e United S t a t e s , b u t equal e m p l o y m e n t opportunities—NOW!

We do not believe that after 400 years of free or nearly free labor, s w e a t a n d blood, w h i c h h a s helped America become rich and p o w e r f u l , t h a t s o m a n y t h o u s a n d s o f black people should have t o subsist o n relief, charity o r live in poor houses.

8. W e w a n t t h e g o v e r n m e n t o f t h e U n i t e d S t a t e s t o exempt o u r people f r o m A L L t a x a t i o n a s long a s w e a r e deprived of equal justice under t h e l a w s o f the land.

9. W e w a n t equal e d u c a t i o n — b u t separate schools up t o 1 6 for boys and 1 8 for girls en t h e condition t h a t t h e girls be sent t o w o m e n ' s colleges and universities. W e w a n t all black children educated, t a u g h t and trained by their o w n teachers.

Under such schooling system w e believe w e w i l l m a k e a better nation o f people. T h e United S t a t e s g o v e r n m e n t should provide, free, all necessary t e x t books and equipment, schools and college buildings. T h e M u s l i m teachers shall be left free t o teach and train t h e i r people in the w a y o f righteousness, decency and self respect.

1 0 . W e believe t h a t intermarriage or race m i x i n g should be prohibited. W e w a n t t h e religion o f Islam t a u g h t w i t h o u t hinderance or suppression.

These are some of the t h i n g s t h a t w e , the M u s l i m s , w a n t for our people in N o r t h America.

at the Muslims Believe 1. WE BELIEVE in the One God Whose proper Name is Allah.

2. WE BELIEVE in the Holy Qur-an and in the Scriptures of all the Prophets of God. 3. WE BELIEVE in the truth of the Bible, but we believe that it has been tampered with and must be reinterpreted so that mankind will not be snared by the falsehoods that have been added to it.

4 . W E BELIEVE i n Allah's P r o p h e t s a n d t h e Scriptures t h e y brought t o the people.

5. W E BELIEVE i n t h e resurrection o f t h e d e a d — n o t i n physical r e s u r r e c t i o n — b u t i n m e n t a l resurrection. W e believe t h a t t h e so-called Negroes are m o s t in need o f m e n t a l resurrection: therefore, t h e y w i l l be resurrected first.

Furthermore, w e believe w e are t h e people o f God's choice, as i t has been w r i t t e n , t h a t G o d w o u l d choose t h e rejected a n d t h e despised. W e can f i n d n o other persons f i t t i n g t h i s description in these last days more t h a n the so called Negroes in America. W e believe i n the resurrection o f t h e righteous.

6. W E BELIEVE i n t h e j u d g m e n t : w e believe this first j u d g m e n t w i l l take place as God revealed, in A m e r i c a . . .

7. W E BELIEVE t h i s i s t h e t i m e i n h i s t o r y f o r t h e

separation o f the so -called Negroes and the so -called w h i t e Americans. W e believe t h e black m a n should be freed i n name as w e l l as in fact. By this w e m e a n that he should be freed f r o m t h e names imposed upon h i m by his f o r m e r slave masters. N a m e s w h i c h identified h i m a s being t h e slave master's slave. W e believe t h a t if w e are free indeed, w e should go i n our o w n people's n a m e s — t h e black peoples of the earth.

8. W E BELIEVE in justice f o r all, w h e t h e r in God or not; w e believe a s others, that w e are due equal justice as h u m a n beings. W e believe in e q u a l i t y - — a s a n a t i o n — o f equals. W e do n o t believe that w e are equal w i t h o u r slave masters i n the s t a t u s o f "freed slaves".

W e recognize and respect American citizens as independent peoples and we respect their laws which govern this nation.

9. W E B E L I E V E that the offer of integration is hypocritical and is made by those who are trying to deceive the black peoples into believing that their 400 year-old open enemies of freedom, justice and equality are, all of a sudden, their "friends". Furthermore, we believe that such deception is intended to prevent black people from realizing that the time in history has arrived

for the separation from the whites of this nation.

If t h e w h i t e people are t r u t h f u l a b o u h t h e i r professed friendship t o w a r d the s o - c a l l e d Negro, they chn prove i t by dividing up America w i t h their slaves.

W e do n o t believe t h a t America w i l l ever be able t o f u r n i s h enough j o b s f o r her o w n m i l l i o n s of u n e m p l o y e d , in addition t o jobs for the 2 0 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 black people as w e l l .

1 0 . W E BELIEVE t h a t w e w h o declared ourselves t o b e ' righteous M u s l i m s , should n o t participate in w a r s w h i c h take the lives o f humans. W e d o r.ot believe this nation should force u s t o take part i n such w a r s , f o r w e have n o t h i n g t o gain f r o m i t unless America agrees t o give us the necessary territory w h e r e i n w e may have s o m e t h i n g t o f i g h t for.

1 1 . W E BELIEVE our w o m e n should be respected a n d protected as the w o m e n o f other nationalities are respected and protected.

12. WE BELIEVE that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long -awaited "Messiah" of the Christians and the "Mahdi" of the Muslims.

We believe further and lastly that Allah is God and besides HIM there is no God and He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we all can live in peace together.
