SAN C L E M E N T E , Calif. — President Nixon's special adviser for u r b a n affairs recently dashed hopes that the end of the V i e t N a m w a r w o u l d produce a windfall of federal money to meet mounting urban problems and other domestic needs.

D A N I E L P. M o y n i h a n said inflation, Defense Department needs and the i n c r e a s i n g cost o f the n o n m i l i t a r y expenditures already proposed or c o m m i t t e d will consume most of the money.

He said that earlier estimates that the w a r ' s end w o u l d release $22.9 b i l l i o n f o r d o m e s t i c s p e n d ing " w a s not realistic." " P r o g r a m s already on the books for the proposals the President made i n terms of mass transportation, family assistance and state-local revenue sharing are going to eat up any revenue produced by the w a r ' s end," M o y n i h a n said.

In addition, he said the Defense D e p a r t m e n t ' s m i l i t a r y i n v e n t o r y has been depleted b y the w a r and m u s t be rebuilt. I t also requires funds for n e w weapons systems and research.

"We've built a lot of rising expenditures i n our budget," M o y n i h a n said. " W e are not going to get the d r e a m w o r l d people thought after the w a r is over."

In January, a treasury comm i t t e e h a s e s t i m a t e d t h a t 18 m o n t h s a f t e r t h e w a r ' s e n d , $22.9 billion w o u l d be a v a i l a b l e f o r other programs.

He declined to give the dollar amount of this " s m a l l change."

Rep. John Conyers Jr. ( D Mich.) said that M o y n i h a n w a s in no position to say h o w the m o n e y w i l l be spent w h e n the war is over.

"We (Congress) will determine our p r i o r i t i e s , " he said. " I f w e determine that building up our reserves is m o r e important than building up our c r u m b l i n g cities, then w e shall have to suffer the consequences."

MUHAMMAD SPEAKS

By Elijah Muhammad Messenger of Allah In this poison world, there are scientists who are experimenting with poison and are experimenting on how to kill or maim people so that they will die later from eating the wrong foods and from breathing this poison atmosphere. It is very hard for a person who wants to eat the proper food to find anything like good food in this poison world, so that his life may be prolonged, because such people as the scientists have poisoned the food.

Eating one meal a day most certainly will prolong our lives if we eat the proper food. Cooking food correctly is another problem that must be solved with you. Regardless to the length of time allowed between each meal and regardless to the knowledge of the best foods to purchase from the markets, if it is not prepared properly, it also will shorten our lives. We must know hovy to prepare the proper foods so that it may prolong our lives.

These people (white race) have been bent on the destruction of our lives and they are the rulers of the land. It is hard to try to eat properly while living right in the midst of such people.

Think over it—that their food scientists teach how to rob food of its value and then put it in pills and in liquid forms to commercialize on. How then, can you eat to live with what he leaves you to eat— foods robbed of their natural vitamins?

I N T H E S C R I P T U R A L account entitled Barnabas, w e m a y read the following referrence t o Genesis 2 : 2 — " A n d G o d m a d e i n s i x days t h e w o r k s o f his hands; a n d he finished t h e m o n t h e seventh day, and h e rested the seventh day, and sanctified i t . " The book o f B a r n a b a s (13:3-6) r e v e a l s : . . . T h e m e a n i n g o f i t is t h i s ; t h a t i n s i x t h o u s a n d y e a r s t h e L o r d G o d w i l l b r i n g a l l t h i n g s to a n end. 5 F o r w i t h h i m o n e d a y i s a t h o u s a n d y e a r s . T h e r e f o r e , children, i n s i x days, that is, i n six thousand years, shall all things be a c c o m p l i s h e d . " The Holy Quran confirms this prophecy a n d explanation o f t h e Genesis text b y asserting i n D i v i n e R e v e l a t i o n t o t h e following: "He orders t h e Affair from the heaven t o t h e earth; then i t will ascend t o H i m i n a d a y t h e measure o f w h i c h is a thousand years as y o u c o u n t . " ( H o l y Q u r a n 32:5) TO C O N T I N U E with t h e Barnabas Scripture w e read: " A n d h e rested t h e seventh day; he m e a n e t h this; that w h e n h i s Son shall come, a n d abolish t h e season o f t h e W i c k e d One, a n d judge t h e ungodly; a n d shall change t h e s u n a n d t h e moon, a n d t h e stars; then he shall gloriously rest i n that seventh d a y .

The Holy Q u r a n thus reveals i n this same language o f a n earlier documented Scripture, which w a s incidentally kept hidden until i t s f i r s t g e n e r a l p u b l i c a t i o n i n t h e 1920's o f t h i s T w e n t i e t h C e n t u r y — "On t h e d a y w h e n earth w i l l b e changed into a different earth, and t h e heavens (as well), a n d they will come forth t o Allah, t h e One, t h e S u p r e m e . " ( H o l y Q u r a n 14:48) Who c a n n o w read such proof a n d still deny t h e Presence o f God's Messenger i n our midst?

"Nearly all vegetables are good to eat that have been classified by scientist who have studied the poisons that the vegetables contain as well as the non-poisons they contain. We do not need to eat everything just because the Bible (in Genesis) said that Adam (who represents the white race) could eat nearly all of the herbs of the earth (that are not poisons). Our scientists teach us of that which is poisonous, and of that which is not poisonous."

"Our stomachs were not made to live off raw foods, except certain raw foods such as fruits, which — beyond a shadow of a doubt — should be eaten raw and never cooked. When we cook fruit, it takes away the Vital property that is necessary for our good health. An apple (or peaches or berries) is better eaten raw than cooked, unless our health and body are weak and unable to digest the raw apple."

I h a d not eaten a half chicken at one t i m e i n m a n y years, until last week when I dined o f f some o f o u r farm-raised chickens and I still h a d a taste f o r t h e other half ( s m i l e ) . A n d , the prices are right. Just t r y one f o r yourself.

We hope t o give y o u , this year, fresh vegetables of a l l kinds, f r o m t h e f a r m . W e hope also t o give y o u , sometime this year, your o w n f a r m raised meat, such as beef a n d larnb, and y o u r o w n m i l k and butter.

Black Prison Chief Calms:

Storm in Lorton Reformatory

By Lonnie Kashif

(Muhammad Speaks, Washington Bureau)

L O R T O N , Va. — Six months ago the District of Columbia government, the Congress of the United States and the Federal Bureau of Prisons simultaneously issued reports of investigations of conditions at Lorton Reformatory with demands for more investigations and political purges within the D. C. Corrections Department which oversees the institution located 20 miles south of Washington on a rustic 72acre tract of land.

AT THAT TIME, recriminations, charges, counter-charges, -were hurled back and forth, first from inmates, then from g u a r d s ; from jail and minor prison administrators t o high e c h e l o n correction chiefs; from Congressmen to department d iAvery rector, and back again — all coming as a result of a series of near prison-shattering prison guard atrocities against inmates.

The Messenger of Allah Presents

J)t JWu^ltm . P r o g r a m Slfjat tfje jflusiltmsf Want This ist h equestion asked most frequently b y both t h e w h i t e s a n d t h e blacks. T h e a n swers t o this question I shall state as s i m p l y as possible.

1. W e w a n t f r e e d o m . W e w a n t a f u l l a n d complete freedom.

2. W e w a n t j u s t i c e . E q u a l j u s t i c e u n d e r the l a w . W e w a n t justice applied equally t o all, regardless o fcreed o r class o r color.

3. W e w a n t e q u a l i t y o f o p p o r t u n i t y . W e w a n t equal m e m b e r s h i p i n society with t h e best i ncivilized society.

4. W e w a n t o u r p e o p l e i n A m e r i c a w h o s e parents o r grandparents were descendants f r o m slaves, t o be a l l o w e d t oestablish a separate state o rt e r r i t o r y o ftheir o w n — e i t h e r o n this continent o r elsewhere. W e believe that our f o r m e r slave m a s t e r s a r e obligated t o provide such land a n d that t h earea must be fertile and m i n e r a l l y rich. W e believe that our former slave masters a r e obligated t o m a i n tain a n dsupply o u rneeds i n this separate t e r r i t o r y for t h en e x t 20 t o25 y e a r s — u n t i l w e are able t o produce a n d supply o u r o w n needs.

Since w ecannot g e talong with t h e m i n peace a n d e q u a l i t y , .after g i v i n g t h e m 400 years o fo u r s w e a t a n d blood a n dreceiving i n return some o f theworst treatment human beings have ever experienced, w e believe our contributions t o this land a n dt h e suffering forced upon u s b y white America, justifies our d e m a n d f o r c o m p l e t e separation i n a state o r t e r r i t o r y o fo u r o w n .

5. W e w a n t f r e e d o m f o r a l l B e l i e v e r s o f I s l a m n o w held i nfederal prisons. W e w a n t freedom f o r a l lblack m e na n d w o m e n n o w under death sentence i ni n n u m e r a b l e prisons in t h e N o r t h a s w e l l a s t h e S o u t h .

We w a n t every black m a n a n dw o m a n t o have t h ef r e e d o m t o accept o r reject being separated f r o m t h eslave master's children a n d establish a l a n d o ft h e i r o w n .

We k n o w that the above plan for t h e solution o ft h eblack and w h i t e conflict ist h e best and only answer t otheproblem between two people.

6 W ewant an immediate endtothe po lice b r u t a l i t y a n d m o b attacks against t h e socalled N e g r o throughout t h eU n i t e d States.

We believe that the Federal government should intercede t o see that black m e n a n d w o m e n tried i nw h i t e courts receive justice i n accordance with t h e laws o f the land—or a l l o w u s t o build a n e wn a t i o n f o r ourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom a n d liberty.

7. A s l o n g a s w e a r e n o t a l l o w e d t o e s tablish a state o r t e r r i t o r y o f o u r o w n , w e demand not only equal justice under t h e laws of t h e U n i t e d States, b u tequal e m p l o y m e n t opportunities—NOW! W e d o n o t b e l i e v e t h a t a f t e r 400 y e a r s o f free o r n e a r l y free labor, sweat a n d blood, which h a shelped A m e r i c a become rich a n d powerful, that so m a n y thousands o f black people should have t osubsist o n relief, charity o r live i n 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 States t o e x e m p t o u rpeople f r o m A L L taxation a s long a s w ea r e deprived o f equal justice under t h e l a w s o ft h e land.

9. W e w a n t e q u a l e d u c a t i o n — b u t s e p a r a t e s c h o o l s u p t o 16 f o r b o y s a n d 18 f o r g i r l s o n the condition that t h egirls be sent t o w o m en's colleges a n d universities. W ew a n t a l l black children educated, taught a n d trained by their o w n teachers.

Under such schooling system w e believe we will m a k e a better nation o fpeople. T h e United States government should provide, free, all necessary text books a n d equipment, schools a n d college buildings. T h e M u s l i m t e a c h e r s s h a l l b e left free t o teach a n d t r a i n their people- i n t h e w a y o frighteousness, d e cency a n d self respect.

10. W e b e l i e v e t h a t i n t e r m a r r i a g e o r r a c e m i x i n g should beprohibited. W e w a n t the religion o fI s l a m taught w i t h o u t hinderance o r suppression.

These a r e some o f t h e things that w e , the M u s l i m s , w a n t f o r o u r people i n N o r t h America.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad Messenger

We believe i n equality—as a nation —o f equals. W e d o n o tbelieve that w ea r e equal w i t h our slave masters i nt h e status o f "freed slaves."

We recognize a n drespect A m e r i c a n citizens a s independent peoples a n d w e respect their laws which govern this nation.

9. W E B E L I E V E t h a t t h e o f f e r o f i n t e g r a tion ishypocritical a n di s m a d e b ythose w h o are trying t o deceive t h e black peoples into believing that their 400-year-old open e n emies o f freedom, justice a n dequality a r e , all o f a sudden, their " f r i e n d s . " F u r t h e r more, w e believe that such deception i s i n tended t o prevent black people f r o m realizing that t h et i m e i n history h a s arrived f o r t h e s e p a r a t i o n f r o m t h ew h i t e s o fthis n a t i o n .

If t h e white people a r e truthful about their professed friendship t o w a r d t h e socalled Negro, they can prove i tb y dividing u p A m e r i c a with their slaves.
