Malcolm X
Renounces Black
Racism Philosophy
Malcolm X Embraces
Orthodox Islamic Faith,
Scores ReligiousFakers
Negro Press International
MECCA. Saudi Arabia—The con-
troversial Malcolm X., erstwhile No.
2 man in the Itlack Muslims organi-
zation, has renounced the philosophy
of blnck racism and denounced Eli-
jah Muhammad, Itlnrk Muslims lead-
er, as a religious "faker."
This bccame known last week when
Malcolm received a certificate from
the office of the Supreme Im:in-
Shdkh Al-Axhar, which attests to his
conversion to the orthoc! >x Islamic
fi.ith, under the name "Malik K1
Shabazz."
The certificate is a means by which
American Negroes can embrace Islam
and be recognized ns citizens of the
Muslims with the full weight of the
Muslim world behind them in all
their religious activities.
The renouncement and denuncia-
tion were contained in two letters
which Malik El Shabazz wrote to a
friend in New York last month. He
told of Mnbracing the brotherhood of
mnn and that "I shall never rest un-
til I have undone the harm I did to
so many well-meaning, innocent Ne-
groes who, through my own evangel-
istic zeal, now believe in Elijah (Ma*
hnmmnd) even more fanatically and
more blindly than I did."
Earlier this year, Malcolm broke
with Elijah Muhammad, who advo-
catea black separatism, and founded
his own non-sectarian nationalist or-
ganization. He has spent much of
the year in Mecca studying with the
grand imams of Islam—ranking schol-
ars of Islam—and working with the
Muslim World lMfu«.
Tbe letter, dated Sept. 22, rend:
4^For 12 long years I lived within
the narrow-minded confines of the
'strait-jacket world' creuted by my
strong belief that Elijah Muhammad
was a messenger direct from God
Himself, and my faith in what I now
sea to be a pseudo-religious philoso-
phy that he preaches. But as his then
most faithful disciple, I represented
and defended him at all levels . . .
and in must instances, even beyond
the level of intellect and reason."
He stated thst "if western society
had not gone to such extremes to
block out the knowledge of true Is-
lam there would not be such a relig-
ious vacuum among American Ne-
groes today Into which any religious
faker can bring all forms of distorted
religious concoctions and represent it
to our unsuspectiug people ss true
Islam.*
He wrote that he is s Muslim la
the most orthodox sense*—as it is be-
lieved in and prscticed by the Mus-
lims in the Holy City of Mecca. "This
religion recognizes all meu as broth-
ers. It accepts all human beings as
equal before Ciod, and a* equal mem
bcrs in tho human family of man-
kind."
He reaffirmed bis belief in Allah
as the supreme b»>ing and in the
Prophet Mohammed and wrote "yet
some of my dearest friends are Christ-
ians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, agnos-
tics, and even atheists—some are cap-
italists, Socialists and Communists-,
some arc even Uncle Toms. It takes
all these religious, political, economic,
psychological and radical ingredients,
to make the human family ami the
hurnau society complete."

September Record
Month in Louisiana
Voter Campaign
(Special to San Antonio Register)
BATON ROUGE, La.—"We reg-
istered a total of 1,082 persons in
September—the highest number for
ar.y single month since CORE start-
ed its Louisiana voter registration
campaign two years ago," reported
CORE field secretary, Ronnie Moore,
who has led the drive over the two-
year period. The figure covers a to-
tal of 13 parishes in the fourth and
fifth congressional districts.
Pointing out that "the existence of
biased registrars and the limitation of
federal action still constitute a major
obstacle," Moore says in his report:
"The only factor which made it pos-
sible for us to make such a gain
was the sudden and enormous concern
of the Negro people motivated by
their desire to defeat or at least put
the strongest voting protest possible
against Barry Goldwater."
Asserting thut discrimination is
just one of the problems, he states:

When President Johnson ordered
the renew d drive to ferret out the
bombers snd killers, a whole sle* of
arrests followed. Initially, the FBI
arrested five Missilstypians, includ-
ing a sheriff and g former sheriff, on
charges fit depriving Negroes of their
rights while scting in the name of
the law.
Arrested were:
Neehoba County Sheriff Lawrence
Rainey, 41; deputy Cecil Price, 20;
former deputy fithe« Olen Barnett,
42; Nefll Otiia Burke, 71. and Rich-
ard Andrew Willis, both Philadelphia
policemen.
They were charged under federal
grand jury indictments with depriv-
ing six local Negroes of their rights
under the Constitution. The charges
carry a maximum penalty of one year
imprisonment and—or a $1,000 fine.
A second indictment charged that
Rainey and Price—both free on bond
and back on their jobs—beat a Ne-
gro prisoner, Kirk Culberson, in tbe
Philadelphia jail lust Jan. 20. Neither
charge has any connection with the
detention and slaying of the three
civil rights workers.
Then, in quick succession, seven
more arrests were made, and another
bombing incident occurred—in Vicks-
burg, Miss., the target being a house
which was used as a "freedom school"'
by the Council of Federated Organ-
izations. The explosion caused slight
injuries to s 150-year-old woman and
her two-month-old grandson w ho were
among 14 persons in tbe house.
In the second round of arrests, the
FBI uncovered a secret bomb arse-
nal near a gravel pit not far from
the home of Emery Allen Lee, 35-
year-old former army demolitions ex-
pert. Lee, one of those arrested, was
charged with illegal possession of ex-
plosives, conspiracy and furnishing
and arming explosives used in recent
blasts.
The cache is said to have contained
a quantity of military-type hand gre-
nades, 15 shrapnel and dynamite
bombs, a five-gallon cau of explosive
powder, several thousand rounds of
.06 calibre ammuuition, carbines and
blnckjacks.
The other six arrested were Hil-
ton Dunaway, 30; Jon Paul West-
brook, 20; Charles Avery Womack,
20; Gerald Lawrence, 21; Murphy
J. Duncan, 44; and Sterling Gillis,
35-year-old son of a wealthy landown-
er and father of seven children. All
are charged under the state nnti-bomb-
itig law which could result in the
death penalty if they are convicted.
Tho third round-up netted four
white men, accused of participating
in the bombing of the home of Mrs.
Alyene Quin on the night of Sept. 20.
They were Billy Earl Wilsou, 22;
Jimmy Pa Wilson, 38; Ernest F.

Presidential Teams Dig
la for Stretch Drive
Negro Press International
CHICAGO—With election day, Nov. 8, juit about three weSas
away, the presidential teams have begun to dig in for the
final drive that will secure for one or the other mfficient af-
firmative nods from the vote's for the White Bouse for Ine
next four years.
Depending upon which side one looks at it, the polls have
it for Democratic President Johnson, or for Republican *
Barry F. Goldwater.
The latest p«dl for tbe Democratic
twosome disclosed that 17 states are
solidly behind the Johnson-Humphrey
team, with 14 other states leaning in
that direction. And optimistic Gold-
water supporters are banking on tbe
next weeks to show a reshifting of
forces, once aligned with the Demos.
One thing the Goldwater camp will
admit, and that Is that they are still
running behind in the campaign. They
ore seeking the •'winning" strategy
that will enable them to catch up
and forge ahead between now and
the dawn of election day.
However, the most striking thing
about the current election campaign
has been, not tbe No. 1-2 candidates
of tiie major parties, but the unpar-
alleled drive to get out the vote, espe-
cially among Negroes.
Never before in the history of the
country has there been an all-out
drive as is currently going on to
get every eligible Negro to reflkftpr
and to show up and vote on election
day.
Particularly Is thia evident among
Negroes in the South. At last count,
in 11 southern states, the number of
registered Negro voters has just about
doubled since tha 1000 csmpalgn.
During tho past two years especially,
both white and Negro eligibles hive
been registering in heavy numbers
along the southern tier of states from
Virginia to Texas. The white voters
now total 13.000.000.
But the Negro vote, which Mto-
bers just over two million, asstimea
pivotal importance in carrying such
key states as Florida. North Caro-
lina end South Carolina—states
