Psychologists Study Reveals Why Negro
Prisoners Become Members Black MusIims

Trenton, N. j. (ANPl - A pSy-
biologist who has been studying
them for two years says he has
found the reason why the Black
Muslin sect makes such a strong
appeal of Negro prisoners.
He is Dr. Henri M. Yaker, form
er director of psychology and now
psychological consultant for the
New Jersey State prison where, he
says, 55 inmates have confirmed
their membership in the cult head
ed by Elijah Muhammed of Chi
cago. He added that there are pos
sibly 55 more inmates who are
Muslims but won't admit their
membership.
The movement in America aims,
he said, to establish a separate
nation for the American Negro and
to segregate him from the white
man, as well as to establish Negro
supremacy.
DR.. Yaker said that this might
have a psychological appeal to
prison populations, since the isola-
ton of prison creates a need for a
personality defense.
This need, he said, was partic-
ularly strong in those prisoners
who have a feeling Of "phychosex-
ual inadequacy and feelings OF
loss Of masculine identity"
Psychological tests have re-
vealed these personality patterns
among this particular group OF
prisoners, although the reasons
for them are not apparent, DR.
Yaker said.
The group as a whole has thus
far created no problem for prison
authorities, DR.. Yaker reported, al
though the correctional officers
are anxious and tense in dealing
with them.
Mounting hostility is covert, he
said, and the brotherhood we'll led
He said there appeared to be
among the group a spiritual teach

ton with Muhammed and Malcolm
x, leaders Of the nationwide move
ment.
The Muslin group balks at
tempts by prison officials to dis
perse them; most shave their
heads closely and brand" Their
foreheads with the seal Of Islam.
The mark is one presumably OBJ,
tanned by rubbing the head on the
floor during daily prayers. DR.
Yaker observed that the more
sophisticated in the group did moi
use this marking.
DR.. Yaker concluded that efforts
to suppress the movement in prison
socities would become increasingly
difficult. Yet, he said, recognition
Of the movement would be tan,
tamount to endorsing a new phil,
osophy of Aryan supremacy, thai
of the black man."

More than 100 representatives

the county were present in the
auditorium of the Maryland
National Capital Planning Com
mission to voice their opinions.

his report when a dozen mem
bers raised various objections to
either the budget details or the
service itself.
A motion was narrowly de-
feated 1923 which would have

committee had spent many
hours going over the various

of the WSSC, was present at

several questions fired by

of $41,77O,765 would be spent.

Annexation
Weighed by


LAYTONSVILLE - Mixed
reaction with no definite action
met a proposal to annex 80
acres lying on the southwest
edge of Laytonsville following
a public meeting held here
Tuesday night in the elemen-
tary school.
Mayor Washington White an
nounced after the meeting that
the Town Council will meet
sometime next week to decide
what steps to take.
Laytonsville, which incorpor-
ated in 1892, is made up of
about one-third square mile
with a population Of PIP per-
sons. There are 66 homes
here.
The annexation proposal
would more than double the
towns present size, Mayor
White said.
Only outspoken objector to
the plan was former mayor and
councilman Lewis Kibbee. II
am against annexation in the
absence of a definite plan," he
said. THE issue is coming and
nothing else and there would
be no benefits derived either
for the towns people or those
in the area to be annexed"
Mayor White disagreed, say
ing that the town has reached
the point that it must either
expand or dissolve"
Many residents attending the
m eetin g, called by Mayor
White the largest he has seen,
favored the annexation and said
they want to see the town
grow in order for families to
stay together. At present,
there are no lots in Laytons-
vile which have not been i'm
proved.

A big expense item, Lynch
said, is the replacement of
trucks purchased six and seven
years ago. The average life ex-

vehicles have lasted more than
twice that long. Salary expenses
increased about eight percent,
with a two percent increase in
