such thing as a Negro; that the so-called Negroes are slaves
of the white race, referred to as "white devils", in the
United States; and that the white race, because or its
exploitation of the so-called Negroes, must and will be
destroyed in the approaching "war of Armageddon".

On may 5, 1958, the first source advised MUHAMMAD
had, upon advice or legal counsel, tempered his personal
statements and instructions to his ministers concerning
the principles of his organization in order to avoid
possible rQseoution.by the United States Government;
however, he did not indicate~any fundamental-changes in
the teaohingsof his organization.
Cm Ju1y92o, 1963, a third source advised rmmmanhad early in July, I953, decided to de-emphasize the
religious aspects of t e teachings of Islam and to stress
the economic benefits to be derived by those Negroes who

From 11:40 p.m., June 8, 1964, to 12:30 p.m., June 9,
1963, subject was the guest on the "Barry Gray Show" over Radio
Station NMCA, New York, New York. Prior to the interview of
subject by Mr. Gray, the latter telephonically interviewed
Alabama's Governor George Wallace.
In commenting on Governor Wallace, subject stated that
he made no distinction between Governor Wallace and President
Lyndon B. Johnson, except in their methods. Little also characterized
the United States Government as a racist government since the
majority of all congressional committees are headed and dominated
by Congressmen from the South.
Subject spoke of his recently completed tour of Africa,
describing it as the "greatest place on earth". He stated he
had toured Arabia, Egypt, Lebanon, Nigeria, Ghana and Morocco.
In Arabia, he made the twelve day pilgrimage to Mecca, where his
outlook was broadened when he saw how belief in Allah by men of
all races eliminates racial distinction
Little claimed that while in Ghana he met with the
Ambassadors there from Cuba and Communist China, both or whom
gave dinners in his honor. He also addressed members of the
Ghana Parliament and he impressed on all of these people the
fact that racial discrimination in America is sponsored by the
government.

The March 13, 196b, edition of "The New York
Times," a daily newspaper published in New York, New York,
contained an article on page 20 which indicated that
MALCOLM X LITTLE!, former national official of the Nation
of Islam NOI! and Minister of NOI Mosque #7, New York, who
broke with the NOI on March 8 1964, publicly announced inNew York City on March 12, ioéu, that he had formed the
Muslim Mosque, Incorporated MMI!. The MMI, according to
the article, would be a broadly based politically oriented
black nationalist movement for Negroes only, financed by
voluntary contributions. In this public statement MALCOLM X
urged Negroes to abandon the doctrine of non-violence when
it is necessary to defend themselves in the civil rights
struggle, and he also suggested that Negroes form rifle
clubs to protect their lives and property in times of
emergencies in areas where the government is unable or
unwilling to protect them.
" " Incorporation papers of the MMI filed on March l6
196%, with the Business Section, Clerk of Ccurts, New York
County, New York, New York, reflect that the EH1 was
incorporated under the Religious Corporation Law of the
State of New York to work for the imparting of the Islamic
Faith and Islamic Religion in accordance with "accepted
Islamic principals." lhe principal place of worship to
be located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York.
During an appearance over KYW Television,
Cleveland, Ohio, on April 7, 196k, MALCOLM x stated that
the MMI does not stand for integration, but for complete
freedom, Justice, and equality for Negroes. He stated
that Islam was the religious philosophy of the MMI, while
the political, economic and social philosophy was black
nationalism.
On May 15, 196a, a confidential source advised that
the headquarters of the MMI are located in Suite 128, Hotel
Theresa, 2090 Seventh Avenue, New York City, where they were
established on March 16, 1963.I

gin g the LB] Company authority to
police Capital Cable's programs.
The FCC toolt Kellarn at his word.
.92'o curnentary evidence was sub-
mitte to support the claim. And
on Dcigember ll-two days after Kel-
lam snide his last reply_the Com-
missionlldcnied TV Cable's petition
for a is iver. The majority opinionheld tit; there were no special cir-
cumstances in the Austin case to war-
rant an exception to the no-waiver
policy. The lone dissenter, Commis-
sioner Lee:_Loe92'inger, said there had
been no sl1d__wing that the local john-
son station, _KTBC-TV, was in need
of protectiorifrom TV Cable through
the blackout rule. Loevinger, the
Commission's_ newest member, had
only recently been imported from the
justice Deparitnenfs anti-trust divi-
sion, which he headed.
Meanwhile, as a result of the Bobby
Baker case, Washiitgton newsmen
were already prowling through FCC
records on the Johnson family broad-
casting empire. so the Austin
case fluttered direcitly into the bright
spotlight of public =_attention, hitting
the national news media for the first
time.
Emboldened by the publicity, TV
Cable made one more assault on the
blackout rule last jaituary. It asked
the FCC for reconsideration. Nearly
four more months of deliberation
passed, and finally last month the
Commission announced would stick
to the earlier verdict. T-he grounds:
TV Cable had not showti good faith
but tried to change the rules in the
middle of the game by accepting the
restriction and then attempting to
have it annulled. it
Nevertheless, the FCC failed to ad-
dress itseli to the central issue oi the
dispute: why the governmeni should
use its power to insulate from'cotrtpe~
tition a prosperous statioti like
KTBC-TV, which had a big stake of
its own in the success of a commu-
nity antenna system. Because" the
question remains unanswered, and
be-cause Presidential family interests
are substantially affected, the Austin
case will continue to rattle in ihe
political closet long into the year.' i

audiences on Harlem street corners.
I had been told that he was articu-
late, well-informed. quick and skill-
ful in debate. I rather loolted lor-
ward to the evening as a phase oi
my own education; it was on a pro-
gram conducted by Barry Gray and
I knew there would be an hour or
more available for the discussion.
Malcolm is a tall, slender, graceful
man with a highly intellectualized
face that can alternately light up
with anger and laughter; one might
easily mistake him for a young acade-
mician; off the air, he is disarming
and quiet-mannered. But when he is
performing, bitter sarcasm becomes
his favorite tone.
Two aspects of the discussion stand
out in memory. One was an out-
growth of his harsh and by now
familiar denunciations of the estab-
lished Negro leadership. I suggested
to him that there was a certain pre-
sumptuousness in his derisive dismis-
sal of such figures as A. Philip Ran-
dolph who have rendered so many
years of dedicated. seless servioe.to
the struggle against oppression. Mal- Doesn't Black Nationalistn
carry with it the notion of re-
turning to Africa?" I asked.
. "Yes!" he replied, but this
is our long-range goal . . ."'
In joining the civil rights
struggle, are you not contra-
dicting your previous position,
that is, of not worlting with
whites, and having given up on
_America?"
His answer was immediate;
"No! First I believe the block
man must lead his own fight; in
fact, the Blacit Nationalist must
become more involved and force
the white man out, for he is the
most deceitful creature on earth.
I intend to prove that you can't
get civil rights in this country.
Then _I intend to elevate the
idea of civil rights to the plane
of human rights; this way, we
can go to the United Nations
and show the world what this
country really is. . . . The blacg
man is maturing, he is waking
up. That is sully I soy that we
will have real violence. I have

blend of nobility and courage.
The other exchange I recall most
rle:trly occurred wlten Malcolm kept
insisting that, as far as Negroes were
concerned, there was literally no dif-
ference between New York and .92Iis-
Sissippf; the terror and servitude were
the same in both states. I argued that
no good purpose was served by such
misstatement; that one need not min-
imize the wrongs and injustices of
New York to recognize that there was
a difference of some consequence be-
tween a state in which a white tyran-
ny used all the police power to main-
tain its rule and one in which the
machinery of government, however
fumbling and inadequate. accepted
the moral premise of equality. More-
over. I contended, Malcolm's words
would surely be used by the South-
ern racists to justify their system and
to stifle criticism. If a Negro leader
really believed New Yorlt and Mis-
sissippi were fundamentally the same,
how dare the North condemn Missis-
sippi's police state?
It was a futile, exasperating col-
loquy; I could not believe that Mal-
colm really believed whit rte was say-
ing, but neither could I wrest from
himon the air-the admission that
there were any real variations be-
tween the two states.
When the program had ended we
conversed cordially for a few mo-
ments and Malcolm, with a mischiev-
ously amiable smile, said: Look.
you'll never get me to admit there's
a difference between New York and
Mississippi until we've won our revo-
1ution." What he was saying. of
course, was that he fully got the point
but that it did not suit his rhetorical
purposes; he would continue to main-
tain that it was a distinction without
a difference. I had a feeling that 1
had detected a cold cynicism in the
firebrand, but his answer no doubt
would have been that I could not
understand. ~
It was about two months ago when
I encountered Malcolm again._ Many
things had happened in the interim.
The high hopes and spirits of last
summer's Freedom March had been
diminished by a series of anti-cli-
maxes. There was growing talk of the
white "backlash" in the North stirred
by the rising militancy of Northern< it
Negroes; the battle ol tstntnguam
had a seemingly different dimension
to too many white citizens when it
became the battle of Brooklyn. The
ienate was bogged down in a fili-
buster. Factional conflict was searing
the civil rights groups.
Things had changed for Malcolm.
too. He was no longer part of Elijah
Muhammad's Black Muslim move-
ment; he was operating his own black
nationalist sect. The estrangement was
apparently triggered by Malcolm's
callous comments on the assassina-
tion of President Kennedy he later
claimed that he had not meant ex-
actly what he said. or not said what
he meant to say!. Whatever the full
cause of the rift, he was now more
than ever committed to a hell-raising
role in the civil rights battle. Since
he remained a passionate advocate
of separatism, there were obvious am-
biguities and anomalies about his chal-
lenge to the civil rights leadership.
It was partly because I was curious
about how he was reconciling these
views that I found myself attending
an April rally at a midtown Man-
hattan meeting hall at which Mal-
colm was to speak under the sponsor-
ship of The Militant Labor Forum.
a unit of the Socialist Workers Party
the continuing modern manifesta-
tion of what old radicals define as
"Trotskyism !.
There was an intriguing aspect
about the auspices of the meeting.
It was hard to believe that Leon
Trotslty had ever anticipated such an
alliance would be welded in his mem-
ory; but those who wish to explore
the detailed dialectics will find them
elucidated at length, if not with pre-
cision, in the Trotsltyist journal.
There was another, more dramatic
circumstance which evoked my curi-
osity. _]ust twenty-four hours earlier,
a Cleveland ministerthe Reverend
Bruce Klunderhad died under the
wheels of a bulldozer during a CORE.
demonstration at a school construc-
tion site. I wondered whether Mal-
colm's meeting would offer some rec-
JAMES A. WEC
editorial page of
Amon his booit-I
end "I04
Editor ogn--ition to this white liberal."
There were about 800 people in
the hall. They ranged from elderly
Trotskyists, veterans of the old fac-
tional left-wing wars. to young re-
cruits, nearly all of them white; a
small band of Malcolm's personal ad-
herents was also on hand, but this
was primarily an SW! show.
2
With mingled awe and pain, I
watched Malcolm perform before this
assemblage. It must be said for him
that he made no visible alteration
in his attitudes toward the white com-
munity. After offering a token trib-
ute to those whites who had the
wisdom to associate themselveswith
an organization that appreciated his
message, he proceeded to deliver the
same separatist speech that he has so
often recited to Harlem rallies. Each
time he baited those who had made
the mistake of choosing white par-
ents. there was general laughter, with-
out regard to race; when he ven-
tured a few poorly-veiled anti-Semitic
thrusts he was particularly sharp
about justice Arthur Goldberg's con-
cem over the fate of jews in the
Soviet Union!, he received equally
non-sectarian approval. At times one
had the feeling that he was playing
his cosmic joke-that he knew much
of the audience was so entrapped by
doctrinaire shibboleth that it felt a
special obligation to welcome his ridi-
cule. At times the spectacle evolsed
the revulsion one would experience
if one watched a predominantly Ne-
gro audience respond warmly to I
segregationist speech by a White Citi-
zens Council spokesman!.
In any case. he completed his re-
marks, a

men were unique indeed._But he con-
founded me again. lnsteatl of any
remotely generous sentiment, he ex-
ploded contemptuously. "We're not
going to stand up and applaud one
white person when 22.000,000 Ameri-
can Negroes are being tortured, he
cried.
Then suddenly he shouted "All
right! Hurrayl Hurrttyl Hurrayl" but
immediately proceeded to catalogue
the list of crimes suffered by Negroes
at the hands of white America. And
when, a few moments later, a soft-
spolten, gray-haired white! citizen
arose and implored .92falcolm to let
the audience observe one moment of
silence in memory of Mr. Klunder,
the answer was another tirade; he
would never "use any energy applaud-
ing the sacrifice of a white man" in a
world in which Negroes were sys-
tematically victimized.
It is many weeks since this oc-
curred, but the image of the episode
remains with me. One clings to the
view that there can be certain corn-
munication in the world, and that
both instinct and intelligence would
have led hialcolrp tp respond with
a measure of common hurnanity-
even if only to underline the sadness
of the human condition--at that
moment. One had the feeling instead
that he believed his cause might
somehow be undermined by such a
display of "bourgeois sentimentality."
_._--I

,__.....-.._-
-it
I have described these episodes in
detail not because they were peculiar-
ly historic but because they may help
to illuminate the internal crisis con-
fronting the Freedom Movement.
In The Progressive in March of
this year I wrote of the moral crisis
of the white liberals. It is no less
serious now than it was then. Noth-
ing written here is designed to sug-
gest any diminution in my sense of
the priority of that problem. There
are innumerable half-truths in the
thrusts of .92lalcolrn X.
But that is no excuse for silence
about the real nature of his role, and
the dead-end toward which he is lead-
ing many frustrated, alienated Ne-
groes and some white camp-followers.
Pcrhaps even more important is the
prospect that imitators will spring _ '
up_as they already have in some
places-and that the civil rights bat-
tle will be poisoned by their presence.
Too many "militants"-white and
,,,.f_Qegrn-have rationalized his per-
formance with the claim that the
threat he poses provides a certain
weapon for those civil rights leaders
still operating in the real world.
There was a time when I found some
validity in that view. But that time
is past. His is an adventure in diver-
sionary discord. It rests on accept-
ance of the segregationist premise
that the cause of equal rights in Amer-
ica is essentially doomed; that Martin
Luther Kings dream was a delusion;
that, to achieve self-respect, the Ne-
gro can do little more than talte up
arms to defend himself and await his
deliverance to an African promised
land. But the premise is false and
the promise is demagogy.
I am not pleading for patience and
fortitude. I am saying only that the
man who sneeringly refers to Eleanor
Roosevelt as "supposedly a liberal,"
and who recklessly talks of substitut-
ing bullets for ballots, is inviting not
liberation but disaster, and playing
capriciously with human beings to
whom he offers nothing but the pros-
pect of futile violence and turmoil.
The answer to such criticism. of-
fered by Malcolm and his more
sophisticated apologists, is that the
non-violence movement has proved a
failure and a fraud; that the degra-
dation of the Negro ghettos in the
North grows worse rather than bet-
ter; that the Southern landscape is
still an unrelieved nightmare, bright-
ened in no serious degree by scattered
breakthroughs in schools and at
lunch counters.
The indictment has much validity,
but his alternative makes no serious
sense. On that night in Manhattan, I
heard Malcolm describe his vision of
Harlem-a firmly-ruled black com-
munity in which "no white man will
be able to set foot without a guide'."
In his tortured dream, the black
populace--during this period of
transition before the ultimate retum
to Africa--will build Algerian-type
walls around its own sectors, and
thus achieve at least temporary es-
cape from white persecution. One
can only sadly observe that Georgia'sSenator Richard Russell would prob-
ably fintl this a satisfactory formula
for settlement of the racial problem.
its grotesque absurdity seems ap-
parent; yet it would be selfdeeeption
to deny that. amid the stagnation and
slow-motion that beset the quest for
equal rights, such madness has
achieved a growing appeal. It is re-
flected not merely in the formation
of small terrorist gangs that draw
spiritual inspiration, if not formal
direction, from Malcolm and his
agents, and who have embarked on
sporadic forays of aimless violence
against the white enemy" without
regard to any specific offense alleged-
ly committed by the victim!. One al-
so hears echoes of the same credo
in conversations and corrtspondence
with some intellectuals, Negro and
white. who have joined in the revolt
against non-violence.

A column that I wrote describing
Malcolm: meeting. with particular
reference to his scomful remarks
about the Reverend Mr. Klunder,
elicited a long, well-phrased letter
from a Negro woman in whidt she
said, in part:

ence has taught us to have for white
liberals--and in spite of the conten-
tion of the white press that Muslims
and Mr. Xs followers are an amazing
combination of ignorance and stupid-
ity, this suspicion does not lie solely
in untutored breasts.

a pleasant feeling. You certainly
shouldn't change. I surely can't, and
your people simply won't. It is ra-
ther sad, and vefy Piinful, and now
I wonder who has given up on who?"
In response to her letter I wrote,
among other things:
"Let me make one more attempt
to cut through this stalemate. 1 hap-
pen to be Jewish; six million jews
were murdered in Germany because
they chose the wrong parents. That is
a lot of people. I also know there
were Germans who participated in
the underground anti-Nazi move-
ment. A brother of a close friend of< ' it"
mine was executed when he was
caught. Now let's suppose I was Ill-
tlressing an anti-Nazi it
which 1 indiscriminately denounced
the German people. and someone
asked me whether I would agree Ito
a moment of silence in memory of I
young German who had been execut-
ed by a Nazi firing squad. I cannot
believe that I would have responded
by saying that I did not give a damn
about the life of any German be-
cause they started it.
I suppose the only other point I
have to make is that neither Mal-
colm nor you has the right so say
that those of us who were born white
or so we think! have no real right to
spealt or to be heard in this crisis.
The simple truth is that inequality
is a burden for the oppressor as well
as the victim, and the civil rights
movement is as much at struggle for
white liberation as anything else. I
do not claim any originality in this
thought, but I believe it is still the
most valid point.
"Obviously, I have no quarrel with
Malcolm's militancy. What I object
to is his alienation from reality and
his attempt to lead people down a
dead-end road. jarnes Farmer was
lighting this battle long before Mal-
colm discovered it; yet Malcolm: de-
risive remarks about Farmer were
more hostile than his reference to the
white Cleveland minister.
=__%2
._.__._.
The exchange continued for a
while; yet I had a sense that this was
a dialogue of the deafthat a fatal
barrier to any real dixettrse ltall
been created, and that no words could
alter the mood.
Malcolm X. of course, is not alone
responsible lor this condition. Other
voices in other places are saying imi-
lar things, and each day of delay and
indecision iii combating the sickness
of oppression and inequity strength-
ens these appeals to unreason. But to
recognize the roots oi this desperate
despair does not require the abdica-
tion of our own senses. Those who
tell us all is lost because too little
has been won. and who see the na-

doomed to some_- final conict be-

tween races are in {act merely in-
dulging themselves.
For the iimple truth, as james
Farmer and Roy Willtins and others
continue to proclaim amitl the pres-
sures oi the so-called "militants," is
that the Negro cannot go it alone;
those who tell him that he can are
cheating him. Those who cannot dif-
ferentiate between Jim Farmer and
_]int Crow, who lightly hurl the epi-
thet oi "Uncle Tom" at leaders who
see both the moral and practical im-
perative of preserving and extending
the Negro-white coalition, those who
insist the "white liberal" must be
banished lrom the Freedom Move-
ment or reduced to the role of water
boy, those who, in effect, affirm it
reverse segregationism because "the
white man can never understand what
it means to be black" are strengthen-
ing every vile impulse in our national
liie, and obstructing perhaps our last
best chance to achieve a national
solution, too long postponed, of our
racial agony.
I am not wistiully projecting some
sudden, serene "revolution by con-
sent." The white resistance, South
and North, remains bitter and en-
trenched; if Congress enacts the civil
rights bill, there-will still be a long
struggle ahead, in the courts and in
the streets. The question is not
whether the Negro has legitimate
cause {or impatience and outcry; it
is whether his anger will be un-
leashed, without discipline or direc-
tion, at something called the "white
world," or whether it will [ind put-
poseiul expression in a concerted al-
liance with many thousands oi other
Americans who have not deserted the
March on W'ashingt0n.
We are, I thinlt, at a fateful mo-
ment of transition. 92Vhite defections
from the civil rights cause is a tragic
iact of life; but it is not the whole
story. The Interfaith assemblage in
Washington in April was a remark-
able occurrence; perhaps the most im-
portant words spoken there were
those oi the Reverend Dr. Eugene
Carson Blake, speaking for all the
Protestant denominations. Warning
against excessive preoccupation with
the legality oi demonstrations," he
declared: -
"Unless we quickly understand that
V _ _ _ ,__ ___,,__, ___. ---.-_.'---.-- ---~ - -- "'- _ ___-i_ ._ ._ __r_¥/__ I _;_ __'._ W. ___

maite peaceful men tum violent, and
patient men lose their self-control,
we untierstantl neither the iirst level
of morals nor the depth oi the crisis
that race discrimination has brought
to our once proud nation."
_,_ Such words were spolten by a lead-
ing white clergymen; such men do
exist. and they appeared in great
numbers. To deprccate their role is
to assert that there has been no moral
advance in our lifetime, and that
lviedgar Evers-and the Reverend
Mr. Klunder--died in vain.
I do not ltnow whether the battle
for equality-not merely the legisla-
tive light but the search for an au-
thentic national community--can be
won decisively in a foreseeable fu-
ture. We do know that a new white
generation is growing up which has.
in many instances, rebelled against
the iolitlore oi its iathers. We do
know that the white supremacists are
on the defensive, no matter how
small the evidences of progress may
[Qt 'be. But most of all it must be clear
that this is a disastrous time [or dis-
cord within the civil rights move-
ment, and for diversionary gospels of
black separatism that can only dis-
rupt the Freedom legions.
Those who live in islands cl white
tranquility fool themselves ii they
believe there can be any ultimate
escape---for themselves or the coun-
try-frotn the Negro upheaval of our
time. But Malcolm X and his disciples
are equally removed from reality
when they advertise salvation in au-
tonomous ghettos, and incite total
war against the white community.
Radical sects that encourage this de-
lusion prove anew how little Marx-
ism has to do with the American
experience.
What gave the Freedom Movement
its initial impetus was its deeply in-
digenous quality, its remarkable self-
discipiine, its inner strength. Those
who divide that movement will not
conquer; they can only manufacture
debris and disorder.

_ The March 13, 196%, edition of "The New York
Times, a daily newspaper published in New York, New York,
contained an article on page 20 which indicated that
MALCOIM X_ LITTlE!, former national official of the Nation
of Islam 92NOI! and Minister of NOI Mosque #7, New York, who
broke with the N01 on March 8, 196%, publicly announced in
New York City on March 12, 196%, that he had formed the
Moslim Mosque, Incorporated MMI!. The MI, according to
the article, would be a broadly based politically oriented
black nationalist movement for Negroes only, financed by
voluntary contributions. In this public statement MALCOLM X
urged Negroes to abandon the doctrine of non-violence when
it is necessary to defend themselves in the civil rights
struggle, and he also suggested that Negroes form rifle
clubs to protect their lives and property in times of
emergencies in areas where the government is unable or
unwilling to protect them.
~ - - Incorporation papers of the MMI filed on March 16
196R, with the Business Section, Clerk of Courts, New York
County, New York, New York, reflect that the MHZ was
incorporated under the Religious Corporation Law o¬ the
State of New York to work for the imparting of the Islamic
Faith and Islamic Religion in accordance with "accepted
Islamic principals." The principal place of worship to
be located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York.
During an. appearance over KYW ~ Television,
Cleveland, Ohio, on April 7, 196R, MALCOLM X stated that
the MMI does not stand for integration, but for complete
freedom, Justice, and equality for Negroes. He stated
that Islam was the religious philosophy of the MM1, while
the political, economic and social philosophy was black
nationalism.
On May 15, 196R, a confidential source advised that
the headquarters of the MMI are located in Suite 128, Hotel
Theresa, 2090 Seventh Avenue, New York City, where they were
established on March l6, 1964.

sus ended by NOI leader, ELI MUHAMAD, on12/E/53, for remarks made by th bject on
12/l/E3, concerning the assassination of for- j
mer President KENNEDY. The suspension was

definite in early March, 196%, allegedly be-
cause of a power stru88le within the NOI

3/l2/Eh, publicly announced the formation of
the MMI, an organization with Islam as its re-
ligious base and a political, economic and
social philosophy of black nationalism. The
subject outlined the ultimate aim of the MMI as
the separation of races and the return of the
Negro to Africa. The current aim is to work
with civil rights groups to improve conditions
of Negroes in the United States, although the '
subject opposes integration. is HHI spokesman,
subject claims Negro struggle should no longer
be non-violent, and he urges Negroes to practice
self defense if and when attacked. He also sug-
gested on 3/12/5#, the formation of rifle clubs
by Negroes for self defense in areas where Negroes
are not protected by the government. Subsequently,
the subject denied he was promoting or organizing
Negro rifle clubs, only suggesting that it was
legal to own rifles and shotguns and Negroes
should do so to protect themselves and their
homes, if necessary. He also urged Negroes to
vote in order to control their own community politi-
cally. Activities and public appearances or subject

He claimed that the United States and
white people were in a conspiracy against black
people in general and the Muslims in particular.
He claimed that ALLAH would destroy the white
world, including America, and establish the one
world of Islam and that when "they" spoke of
the "end of the world", what is meant is the end
of the white race and Christianity here on earth.
He claimed that the only solution to
the race problem was separation and that civil
rights activity is an example of government-
controlled Negro revolution. He then stated
that the black revolution is sponsored by the
FJI and is the one that will succeed since it
is controlled by God. In his conclusion, he
claimed that white America is doomed and must
fall to atone for the crimes against the Negroes
during the past four hundred years.

MALCOLM X and resides at 23-11 97th Street, Queens, New'York
City. He stated that until sometime in December, 1963 hewas the Minister in charge of the Nation of Islam N013 Mosque
in New York City. In December, 1963, he was suspended by
ELIJAH MUHAMAD from his duties. He would not say the reason
for his suspension or its duration. He stated that any comment
on this wold have to come from ELIJAH MUHAMMAD.
He stated that his suspension from duties caused him
to reappraise his loyalty to the NOI and ELIJAH MUHAMAD. He
stated that because or his suspension, he is nw more firmly
devoted to ELIJAH MUHAMMAD than ever. He pointed out that
his suspension proves that the rules of the NOI apply to
everyone equally. He stated he is in no way bitter towards
ELIJAH MUHAMMAD and that anything that might have caused his
suspension was entirely his own fault and he could blame no
one else.
He stated that the NOI cooperates with the Uited
States Government more than any other Negro organization
in that the NOI stops members from smoking, drinking and "
commiting crimes and many other things which result in a
benefit to the United States Government but which the Government
is unable or unwilling to do itself. Because of this, the NOI
is the only group that really benefits the Negroes. He pointed
out that other Negro groups do not have a program which will I
benefit the Negro and eventually the Negro will realize this.
He stated that when the Negro realizes that the Government,
white people and so-called Negro leaders are not really helping
the Negro or obtaining for the Negro the things which he wants
or should have, then the Negro will start helping himself to '
these things. He did not care to explain this except by stating
that at that time there could be a great deal of trouble.

cooperating with the Government in view of the principles of the
NOI but to suggest any other means of cooperation was an insult
to his intelligence. He stated the teachings of the ROI are
public and are well known to the Government. He stated he had
no information concerning membership of the N01, either as to
I-92n' numbers or names and even if he did have such information, U- -
was not disposed to furnish it to the Government. § '
He stated that he would have no objection to being
contacted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding .
demonstrations or other public affairs contemplated by the -
NOI. He stated he realized that in the past the N01 has been %
blamed for a number of incidents with which they were, in tact,
not involved. He stated he would be most willing to be contacted

The March 9, 1964 edition of "The New York Times" _ I
contained an article on page l which reflected that on March '
B, 1964, MALCOLM X publically announced that he had broken
with ELIJAH MUHAMMAD and the MOI due to his continued suspension,
and that he would organize a politically oriented "black
nationalist party". ;i
On March 12, 1964, Special Agents of the FBI attended:
a press conference held by MALCOLM X in the Park Sheraton Hotel,
7th Avenue and 55th Street, New York City. At this press con-
ference MALCOLM X passed out a copy of the public statement
he issued on March 8, 1964, concerning his break with the MOI. '
This statement reads as follows:v snsmc rnowmssoz I
There has been talk of s split between me and the ;C4
Honorable Elijah Muhamad. After 90 days of complete silence, -
I would like to make my position in this controversy crystal ?
clear. Mr. Mhammad is the one who taught me everything I know_
and the one who made me into whatever I am.
"I believe Allah has given him the best diagnosis of .
the ills that beset America's 22 million Negroes, and this I
same God has also given him the only solution that will eliminate
the basic causes behind or people's social, economic, political,
moral, mental and spiritual ailments. }
"My chief concern is the plight of 22 million American
Negroes. During this 90 days of silence, I have reached the -
conclusion that I can best sprees Mr. Mur=~=d'e message by 5
staying out of the Nation of Islam, and continuing to work on 5
my own among America's 22 million non-Muslim Negroes. But I
will always remain a Muslim, and willalways teach what ,
M. Muhammad has taught me, as I best understand it. 5

all Muslims is that they stay in the Nation:Z of Islam under -
the spiritual guidance of the Honorable EliJah Hnhammad. It '
is not my desire to encourage any of them to follow me."
also at this press conference MALCOLM I passed out a .copy of the telegram he sent to ELIJAM MUHAMMAD on March ll,
1905. This telegram reads as follows: i
"The National Officials there at the Chicago Headquarters
know that I never left the Nation of Islam of my own free will.
It was they who conspired with Captain Joseph here in New York
to pressure me out of the Nation. In order to save the National
Officials and Captain Joseph the disgrace of having to explain
their real reason for forcing me out, I aahouhced through the
press that it was my own decision to leave.
"I did not take the blame to protect those National
Officials, but to preserve the faith your followers have in you
and the Nation of Islam.
"Despite whet has been said by the press, I have never
spoken one word of criticism to them about your family. I
sill always he a Muslim, teaching shat you have taught mo, ahd
giving you full credit for what I know and what I am. You are
still my leader and teacher, even though those around you wont
let me be one of your active followers or.helpers. The present
course I am taking is the only way I can circumvent their
obstacles and still expedite your program.
"The tears you shed in Arizona gave the public the
o impression that you also are of the opinion that I left
my own free uill, so I am giving a copy of this sire to the
press. Hay Allah bless you with health and success. I am
still your brother and servant. gs

where he was interviewed regarding his split with the H01.
MALCOLM X explained that he was suspended on December 4, 1963!
for disobedience to ELIJAH HUHAHMAD as the result of his remark
on the assassination of President KENNEDY, since ELIJAH MUHAMAD

In this interview, MALCOLM X charged that NOI head-
quarters in Chicagornd been waging a power struggle against
him that led to his suspension in December, 1963. The article
quoted HALCOIM I as stating "they forced me to take the stand
I am taking because I had to find a way to circumvent the forces
in the movement that eppeeed me and at the same time to expedite
M. MUHAMMAD's program as I understand it."
This article reflected that MALSOIM X's announcementto split with the N01 and form his own roup was brought on
by a letter he received on March 5, l96 , from ELIJAH MUHAMMAD
informing him that he was to remain on suspension for an
indefinite time.

Mr. ROBINSON cited MALCOLM X as an outstanding example
of this reporting and he then made the following comments on 1
MALCOLM X:
' "M. X., as he is projected by what we regrettably
call the white press, doesn't even exist. As Dick Gregory g
has said, Malcolm was 'invented' by the people who edit big
newspapers, control big television and radio and publish big
newspapers and magazines. i
"Malcolm has big audiences, but no constructive
program. He has big words, but no records on deeds in civil
rights. He is terribly militant on sospbozes on street corners
of Negro ghettos. Yet, he has not faced Southern police dogs
in Birmingham as in Iuther~ has done, nor gone to Jail_ _. for freedom as zggjgilkins and §::¬s-Farmer have done, nor led
' a March on wash ton as A. Philip/Randolph did, nor brought
about creative dialogue between business and civil rights
leaders as Whitney Young does daily. -3 pg,
r - -"In fact, here is a man who has been exposed and
disosned by the very organization shioh he had so eloquentl,
espoused - the Black Muslims. In spite of all this, Mr. X
receives more publicity in national media than is given to all
the responsible Negro leaders we have mentioned above. White
colleges flood him with speaking engagement offers. You can
count on one hand Negro colleges which have invited him if there
are any.
"It is the function of media to report, yes. But the
Malcolm X image has been distorted rather than reported; dis=
torted so that many whites imagine that Malcolm has a popular
following; distorted so theta numba of whites and colored
people, more concerned with public attention than with civil
rights, more hungry for headlines than for Jobs and Justice,
have suddenly reached for mantles of leadership which they
are not prepared to wear. W

by an unknown newman if his new organization would accept

accept release from captivity by any source.
when the newsman present unanimously exclaimed that
this meant his answer was 'yes" MAI.-COIN X denied this and
