The committeeman went to a

an Englishman out of a boat.
And by their urgent invita-

New little something about
the affluent society.
Ten years ago such an exer-

The conn ittee probably

Representative Rivers, Demo

of the resolution before the

any desire to head the investi-
gators himself.
Explosions to Come
He went before a sympathe-
tic Rules Committee Chairman
Smith, Democrat of Virginia
to warn that recent riots at the
Districts Youth Corrections
Center at Lorton, Va, were
only glimmers Of political ex-
plosions to come.
To the South Carolinian, the
Black Muslims were made to
order for Communist infiltra-
ton"

at 10000. although Black Mus
linn leaders claim $50, 1000 men,
bers.
THE Communists didn't have
10000 when they took over
Russia" Mr.. Rivers reminded
the Rules Committee.
Dedicated 70 Death
He insisted Black Muslims
were dedicated to death and
violence"
They teach black supremacy
and white suppression" Mr..
Rivers said. Congress ought to
diSsect this organization and
open its unsavory history fol-
America to see."
Black Muslin prisoners or
supporters rioted at the Dis
trict's Lorton institution on

He described his aim as "a
