And the Truth Is Still Untold:

"The indexes of social disorganization among middleclass Negroes are actually lower than among whites.

There is less suicide, divorce, crime, juvenile delinquency, and other antisocial traits in that e m e r g i n g group.

What we should set our hearts and minds on today is finding the right path and walking therein to our God, Allah, and His religion, Islam, that He may make a way for us on some of this earth that we can call our own and deliver us from our open enemies, our deceivers, and from evil and filthy doings.

The God of Islam demands us to forsake our enemies and their names and religion and all that goes with them, and submit to Him 100 per cent. He (Allah) has said to me that He will set us in heaven at once.

Allah's promise is ever true, He fails not in His promise but this race of devils will promise you and will fail to fulfill it, especially if it is a promise of good. I beg you as a brother and sister of mine, to fly to Allah. For the days of the resurrection are not to come, but they are here now and the dead are being risen as it is written. Let us repeat this prayer: "O Allah, guide me among those whom Thou hast guided aright and preserve me among those whom Thou hast preserved and befriend me among those whom Thou hast befriended and bless me in whatever Thou doest grant me and deliver me from the evils of what Thou has judged. Surely Thou judgest and none can judge against Thee and He whom Thou befriendest is not disgraced."

'Why I Refused To Cooperate With Malcolm' (Continued from page 10) ship gains appointment, at the Muslims' Shabazz Restaurant in Harlem—I found him in an unusually depressed mood.

Never before had I seen him looking as dejected and worried as he did then. Af first, he did not e v e n wish to speak to me; he said he suffered from a h e a d a c h e , caused by sustained sleeplessness. Then, perhaps by a slip of tongue, suddenly he mentioned, almost in a whisper, that " . . . I've just had my ears : chewed . . . We

haven't had any memberon the east coast in over a year. . . . " My tongue, too, somehow slipped and in one quick breath I pronounced, "Maybe you've been spending too much of your time 'fishing' in the wrong waters . . . " Malcolm X was silent for a good, long minute. Then, with a faint smile and his head gently clasped between his fists, he muttered, "No . . . No, it isn't that . . . " Seconds later,, deciding all of a suddedn to "go home," he got up from his seat and as he walked toward the door,

he motioned to me and, with a grin that was not free of symptoms of anger, told me to "forget about that article . . . and keep those papers tf you want to. . . . " THE POINTS OF FRICTION such as t h o s e described above did not, of course, lead to a termination of the mutual, fraternal relationship existing between Brother Malcolm X and myself. They did, nevertheless, develop into a "gulf of iced water" b e t w e e n us that somehow only widened as time went on. . . .

By Asian-African Press Service Speaking at a banquet in honor of the visiting Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, President Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia warned last week that a "new scramble for Africa was on . . . which is worse than the old form of scramble (of pre-World War European powers). It is a complex compound of cold war and power politics, neo-colonialism, racialism and economic opportunism . . . "

Ethridge of the state police said when he arrived at the accident s c e n e a crowd of whites and Negroes was "just standing and staring." " I can't understand it," Ethridge said. "Everybody just standing there watching those children die.

"There was one little boy crying so pitiful. I don't see how they could stand there listening to him."

nerves. Maybe it was pride, or maybe they didn't want to get wet up. The water was only knee deep, though."

There's postscript to the story. Fitts disappeared after rescuing the family gnd seeing to it that they were taken to the hospital in Demopolis where their condition was described as serious.

HIS WHEREABOUTS was discovered a day later when he heard "the woman lost a pocketbook containing $60 in the wreck. So, I went back and looked for it. I found it and it had more than $160 in it."

Fitts returned the purse to the owner and went back to work.

PANAMA-BORN Dr. Audley Mamby, now rated as one of the world's great heart specialists, continues to expand on knowledge and research into the critical problem of heart disease, the leading killer in America, points to sensible exercise and more scientific diets as major safeguards against such fatalities.

The Women

Dig In

By Tynnetta Deanar

In Christian theology, much emphasis is placed on the second coming of Christ—the same Jesus who lived and was crucified 2,000 years ago. I ask Christian women, many of whom are active in the church, how would you recognize the Christ if He were to appear? And if, indeed, Christ died for our sins on Calvary, who had been redeemed? Is not the condition of the world more corrupt and more completely organized on the basis of sin, for which Christ supposedly gave His life?

How can one man, be he the son of God or the son of a of the earth in a terrible turcarpenter, die and live again m o i l and confusion.

WASHINGTON —President Johnson ordered an immediate check of why only nine Negroes are enrolled at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md., following an inquiry by the NAACP's Executive Secretary Roy Wilkins.

The President met with Wilkins in the first of a series of discussions with c i v i l rights leaders preparatory to j a White House conference on j implementing civil r i g h t s l laws. During the talk, the j NAACP official is said to j have complained that only nine Negroes were among ! the 4.000 midshipmen at Anj napolis.

Masai

Astound

Scientists

With Amazing Stamina IS© I m m u n i t y tNv

K I T I K I T I , Tanzania — American scientists here conducted extensive probes into the amazing physical durability of the Masai Tribe and their seeming immunity from such "civilized" diseases as atheroschlerosis and hypertension— then left for home as puzzled as when they came.

Under the direction of Prof. George Mann of Vanderbuilt University, a team of researchers found no answer to the mystery of why the Masai never seem to get heart trouble nor atheroschlerosis (a thickening or hardening of the walls of the arteries, slowing the b l o o d flow), despite the fact that they regularly consume a diet which contains enough cholesterol to send the ordinary w o r r i e d middleage American fleeing in panic from the dinner table.

These African herdsmen and warriors live exclusively on meat, blood and milk with a butterfat content that soars normally to about 6.5 I per cent.

PHENOMENAL ENDURANCE of Masai Tribesmen astounds American scientists who found their ability almost doubled that of American students on difficult treadmill test. Even the older tribesmen have none of the symptoms of heart disease.

England Needs Water for LONDON—The island nation of England just couldn't be afflicted by a water shortage problem, but it is. The country, surrounded on three sides by water, and noted

its seemingly "every hour on the hour" rainfall, has taken to conserving water. The shortage is blamed on a record 205-year low of 45.1 inches of rain within the past three years.

STUDIES O F T H E MASAI have shown that they ihave none of the symptoms jof Atheroschlerosis, a disease of the arteries. They lhave far lower serum cho! lesterol on the average than j do Americans.

Tanzania Takes in 7-Foot-Tall Watusi Settlers UNITED NATIONS—Still another Of-^frica's amazingly-developed awesome physical wonders, the 7-feet-tall W a t u s i , are moving into Tanzania to establish a new home and a new life.

Nearly 60,000 Watusi refugees, some of whom fled across the Congo borders between 1959 and 1963, now await their first harvest in their new Mwesi Highland homelands near Lake Tanganyika in the southwestern sector of Tanzania.

The tall, almost bone-thin Watusi, in whose image a popular dance was created in the black communities of America, w e r e expelled from the Congo by Premier M o i s e Tshombe because they a l l e g e d l y fought against white mercenaries selected to rule over their region.

By air, rail and road, 3,000 Watusi refugees from Rwanda recently completed their second flight to freedom in six years, under the sponsorship of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. They were removed from Goma, on the shores of Lake Kivu in the Congo, to their new haven in the Mwesi Highlands.

THE CONGO-LEOPOLDV I L L E GOVERNMENT expelled the Watusi in 1964, but it was not until 1965 June that they started their second flight to freedom and a permanent home.

Land Grants The Tanzanian G o v e r n ment granted each Watusi refugee family 10 acres of land. And President Julius N y e r e r e gave them his

personal welcome. The reaction of the Rwandese to the first word of the resettlement plans was one of relief and excitement, as contrasted with their usual display of "calm stoicism whatever the circumstances confronting them."

On Nov. 3, 1964, the first group of 240 Watusi refugees left Bukavu, on the southern tip of Lake Kivu, where they traveled 100 miles by boat up the lake before joining their countrymen in Goma for the arduous journey to Tanzania. In Goma, a C-46 plane, the first glimpse of an airplane for most, took 63 aboard for the 350-mile flight to Tabora, a town of 25,000 in West-Central Tan-

zania.

A S E R I E S OF MEDICAL tests awaited the refugee g r o u p at Tabora, where each was vaccinated and received blankets and simple eating utensils. They lived in tents near the field until boarding the twice-weekly train to Mpanda, 180 miles away. When they arrived at Mpanda, they were loaded into trucks for the final phase, an 80-mile journey along a new access road to the Mwesi Highlands.

The adult refugees, who speak French and Swahili in addition to their native tongue, are now learning English. Many youths are applying f o r scholarships for advanced studies.

Adebo's speech highlighted a full day of activities and came on the eve of an even fuller schedule today — to feature an annual report by the Rev.

The dead world offers you nothing, only shame and disgrace.

When I came into the Nation of Islam, I had one child and was pregnant with another. I was only 18 and had never been married. I knew a change had to be made; something was dreadfully wrong.

When I was eating the filthy swine's flesh I was often dizzy and had low blood pressure. Since I stopped eating pork and its essence, I haven't had a sick day; that was well over a year ago. I am glad I discovered that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is the Messenger of Almighty God, whose proper Name is Allah.

All of my prayers seemed to go unanswered. I finally lost respect for my parents, myself and all whom I associated with.

"It appears the participants in the beating were from outside of the county," Sheriff Cauthen said.

Though "not In danger," Bartee is resting at University Hospital in nearby Jackson, suffering from "multiple facial injuries."

The Muslim Program What the Muslims Want K

This is the question asked most frequently by both the whites and the blacks. The answers to this question I shall state as simply as possible.

1. We want freedom. We want a full and complete freedom.

2. We want justice. Equal justice under the law. We want justice applied equally to all, regardless of creed or class or color.

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

4. We want our people in America whose parents 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 400 years of our sweat and blood and receiving in r e t u r n 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 contributions t o this land a n dt h e suffering forced upon usby white A m e r i c a , justifies our d e m a n d for complete separation i n a state o r territory of our own.

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 now held i n federal prisons. W e w a s t freedom for all black m e n and w o m e n now under death sentence in innumerable prisons in the N o r t h as w e l l a s the S o u t h .

We want every black m a n and w o m a n t o have t h efreedom t o accept o r reject being separated f r o m t h e slave master's children *xd establish a l a n d o f 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 e n d t o t h e p o lice b r u t a l i t y a n d m o b a t t a c k s a g a i n s t t h e socalled Negro throughout the United States.

We believe that the Federal government should intercede t o see that black m e n and w o m e n tried in white courts receive justice in accordance with the laws of the land—or allow us t o b u i l d a n e w n a t i o n f o r o u r s e l v e s , dedicated to justice, freedom and 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 t a b l i s h a s t a t e o r t e r r i t o r y o f o u r o w n . w e dem a n d not only equal justice under the laws of the U n i t e d States, but equal 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 and blood, which h a shelped A m e r i c a become rich and powerful, that so m a n y thousands o f black people should h a v e to subsist on relief, c h a r i t y or 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 r people f r o m A L L taxation as long as w e are deprived of equal justice under the laws of the 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 the girls b e sent to women's ->lleges a n d u n i v e r s i t i e s . W e w a n t a l l b l a c k ^ren educated, taught and trained by their achers.

- such schooling system w e believe *--e a b e t t e r n a t i o n o f p e o p l e . T h e government should provide,

free, a l l necessary text books and equipment, schools a n d college buildings. T h e M u s l i m teachers shall be left free t o teach and t r a i n their people i nthe w a y o f righteousness, decency and 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 be prohibited. W e w a n t the religion o fI s l a m taught without hinderance o r suppression.

These are some of the things that we, the M u s l i m s , w a n t for o u r people i n N o r t h A m e r i ca.

What the Muslims

Believe

1. W E B E L I E V E i n t h e O n e G o d W h o s e proper N a m e is A l l a h .

2. W E B E L I E V E i n t h e H o l y Q u r - a n a n d in the Scriptures of a l l the Prophets of God. 3. W E B E L I E V E i n t h e t r u t h o f t h e B i b l e , but w e believe that it has been t a m p e r e d w i t h and must be reinterpreted so that m a n k i n d will not be snared by the falsehoods that have been added to it.

4. W E B E L I E V E i n A l l a h ' s P r o p h e t s a n d the Scriptures they brought to the people.

5. W E B E L I E V E i n t h e r e s u r r e c t i o n o f the dead—not i n physical resurrection—but in m e n t a l resurrection. W e believe that the socalled Negroes a r e most i n need o f m e n t a l r e s u r r e c t i o n ; t h e r e f o r e , t h e y w i l l be r e s u r r e c t ed f i r s t .

F u r t h e r m o r e , w e b e l i e v e w e a r e the people o f God's choice, a s i t h a s been w r i t t e n , that God w o u l d choose the rejected and t h e despised. W e c a n find n o o t h e r persons fitting this description i n these last days m o r e t h a n t h e so-called Negroes i n A m e r i c a . W e believe in the resurrection of the righteous.

6. W E B E L I E V E i n t h e j u d g e m e n t ; w e believe this first j u d g e m e n t w i l l take place as God revealed, i n A m e r i c a . . .

7. W E B E L I E V E t h i s i s t h e t i m e i n h i s tory for t h e separation o f t h e so-called Negroes and the so-called w h i t e A m e r i c a n s . W e b e l i e v e the b l a c k m a n s h o u l d be f r e e d i n n a m e as w e l l a s i n fact. B y t h i s w e m e a n t h a t h e should befreed f r o m the names imposed upon him b y h i s former slave masters. Names which identified h i m as being the slave master's slave. W e believe that i f w e are free indeed, w e s h o u l d go i n o u r o w n people's n a m e s —the black peoples of the earth.

8. W E B E L I E V E i n j u s t i c e f o r a l l , w h e t h er i n G o d o r not; w e believe as others, that we are due equal justice as h u m a n beings. W e believe i n equality—as a n a t i o n — o f equals.

We donot believe that we are equal with our slave masters in the status of "freed slaves."

We recognize and respect A m e r i c a n citizens a s independent peoples and w e respect their laws w h i c h 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 is hypocritical and is m a d e b y those w h o a r e t r y i n g to d e c e i v e t h e b l a c k peoples i n t o believing that their 400-year-old open enemies of f r e e d o m , j u s t i c e a n d e q u a l i t y a r e , a l l o f a s u d d e n , t h e i r " f r i e n d s . " F u r t h e r m o r e , w e believe that such deception i s intended t o prevent blaSk people f r o m realizing that the t i m e in history has a r r i v e d for the separation f r o m the whites of this nation.

If the w h i t e people are truthful about their professed friendship t o w a r d the so-called N e -

Honorable Elijah Muhammad

gro, t h e y can prove it by dividing up A m e r i c a w i t h their slaves.

We d onot believe that A m e r i c a will ever be able t o f u r n i s h e n o u g h j o b s f o r h e r o w n millions of unemployed, i n addition to jobs for t h e 20,000,000 b l a c k p e o p l e a s w e l l .

10. W E B E L I E V E t h a t w e w h o d e c l a r e d ourselves t obe righteous M u s l i m s , should not participate i n w a r s w h i c h take the lives of humans. W e do not believe this nation should force u s t o take part i n such wars, for w e have nothing t o gain f r o m i t unless A m e r i c a agrees t o give us t h e necessary territory w h e r e i n w e m a y have something to fight for.

11. W E B E L I E V E o u r w o m e n s h o u l d b e respected and protected as the w o m e n of other nationalities are respected and protected.

12. WE B E L I E V E 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.
