Others shouted and stamped

Canine Corps dogs.
Under the supervision Of
Deputy Police Chief George r.
Wallrodt and John E. Winters,
the inmates were taken to a
recently cleared cell block in
the jail, where they were
locked in cells in small groups.
While the fate of the 43
transferred inmates was being
decided today, Mr.. Clemmer
said. rthey will remain under
heavy guard at the District

1T should be obvious to the
public Ind the inmates that we
can not tolerate such conduct
within our prison system" MIR.
Clemmer said. This is the
first time such incidents have
happened anywhere within the
Districts prison system in II
years."

center'S 80 white inmates were
beaten by some of the insti-

have been beaten and tension

On Wednesday, the white in

officials, saying that they were
fearful of an explosive situa-

The white inmates expressed
fears of physical recrimina-

discovered a Negro inmate

The prisoner, identified as
William T.. Carr. 81, of the 900

was found on the floor beside
his bed in a semiconscious con-

are men of low 10 who come
from Slum areas and had nc
connection with the Muslims
until they were committed to

A d m illustrative instructions
were issued by Mr.. Clemmer to
permit the Black MuSlims to
hold meetings as a result of a
recent ruling by District Court
Judge Burnita A. Matthews
The jurist found that the Black
Muslims were a religious group
and must be allowed the same
right to services as other sects.

Cult Minister Denies
MusIims Caused Riots
BY CLARENCE HUNTER
Star Staff Writer

Lucius x. Brown, minister of
Muhammad'S Mosque No. 4 at
1919 Fourth street NV, said
today that Black Muslin pris-
oners were not responsible for
the disturbance at Lorton.
There are only two (priSon-
ers) there who attended the
Mosque" said Mr.. Brown in an
interview. Il was called by the
officials and got there about
8 hours after it was over.
There were about 40 people
standing around and only
about five of the 10 of them
were Muslims. We don't have
but two who are in jail. About
Is or 40 have attended on
services and some of them sey
they are Muslims."
Mr.. Brown, who prefers to
be called Minister Lucius, chal-
lenged District Corrections
officials to make a thorough
investigation of the rioting.
Why don't they call each
man out and ask him what
Lucius told him?" he chal-
lenged. II asked them if they
were all Muslims and they told
me no. The officials said they
were all Muslims. The men
didn't say it. Why don't the
officials ask them if my visits
have anything to do with their
BEHAVIOR"
Mr.. Brown said one prisoner
who profeSsed to be a Muslin
told him that the disorder oc-
CURED because some prisoners
felt they had been mistreated.
Not one inmate has said
one word that I caused the dis
turbance," he emphasized. I'VE
teach that you must be right
at all times. You must treat
others right. You must never
become engaged in any trouble
whatever"
MiStreatment Claimed
Mr.. Brown said his visits to
Lorton and the District Jail
are for religious services only.
He said he talks about nothing
else when he visits with the
men.
He suspects that the rioting
was caused by outside forces
seeking to discredit the Mus
Inns.
Something set this (the dis
orders off to use it like this
:. to prevent our services"
said Mr.. Brown.
He would not name the in
dividuals or group he suspects
Of precipitating the rioting be-
cause, he said. Il would rather
be wrong"
Mr.. Brown is an articulate
man who speaks softly and
with conviction. The 48-year-
old native of Hawkinsville, Ga,
has been a Muslin for l6 years
and a minister in his faith for
IA years. Christened Lucius

Demands Probe

In Congress yesterday, Rep
resentative Rivers, a South
Carolina Democrat, demanded
an investigation of the Black
Muslims by the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activ-
tiles.
He criticized a recent ruling
by Federal District Judge Bur-
nita Matthews that the Negro
sect was a religious group en-
titled to official recognition at
the reformatory.
IF the Black Muslin philos-
ophy reflects a religious belief,
then naZiism and communism
should be similarly recognized
as religions" Mr.. Rivers said.
The group is dedicated, he said,
to murder, naked violence,
hatred, mugging, yoking."
Representative Walter, chair
man of the Un-American
Activities Committee, said his
staff has already made a pre-
liminary study to determine its
authority to start a full IN
vestigation.
Employed by u. S.
THE committee has obtained
evidence that members of this
organization are employed by
Government agencies, includ-
ing, in at least a few instances,
sensitive security agencies" Mr..
Walter said. "They are also
employed by contractors en-
gagged in classified work for
the Government"
He said Claude Lightfoot, a
vice chairman of the Com
munist Party. recently called
on all Communists to work for
"a united-front type of opera
ton" with the Muslims.
Aside from the issue of Com
munist ties. Mr.. Walter said,
''it appears to be clear that on
the simple basis of what the
MuslimS teach. they are sub
versive of our form of govern
ment and pose a growing dan
! ger to our internal security"

The present administration
would have a lot to answer
to If the physically unfit
would ever organize. After
all, we are somewhat of a
majority and with a good
flabby leader at the helm we
could be quite a pressure
group.
But beaten down by all
the JFK's and Shane Nc
Carthy's Of the world, we do
nothing but make skulking,
vain attempts to suck in our
stomachs while the bouncy
and svelte get asked to all
the in-group parties.
The diSgruntled note de-
tected in this prelude was
present when an interview
with Gardnar Mulloy, the
tennis ace, was suggested.
The press agent did his
sneaky best to interject he
was 49,. already, but his best
was none too good.
Tanned, 6 feet, 180 pounds,
48-year-old Mr.. Mulloy sat
sat down and nothing gave
way. His brush cut stayed
in place, even when he ran a
tanned hand across it. His
teeth were an ivory flash and
he was all set for those ques-
tons only a masochist would
ask, such as, How do you
keep so fit2"
Not smoking, not drinking,
playing six sets of tennis
daily and wrestling with
teen-agers does help, he said.

ance.
However, the goal of self
help among dependent persons
is retarded by obvious factors,
Guy w. Puntch told the North

Somewhere between IS and
80 per cent Of those on the
city's relief rolls are Negroes, "
he explained, land job dis
elimination coupled with the

Members asked if there was
any evidence that persons
migrate to Washington just to
get on public assistance.
Mr.. Puntch assured the
group that no such data were
available.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 20 (AP).
George P. Mahoney was given
credit yesterday for pay raises
proposed by Gov. Tawes for the
faculty at the University of
Maryland, Morgan State Col
lege, and the five State teach
ers colleges.
The praise for Mr.. Mahoney,

Mr.. Lee, chairman Of the

improved salary scales four
months ago and stressed the
Importance of bringing Morgan
and the teachers colleges up to
the base salary levels of the
University of Maryland"
Mr.. Mahoney promised "to
carry out the program in 1868
if Tawes failed to do it in
1892" Mr.. Lee said.
1.-THE bulk of this program
was recommended by the State
Board of Education two years
ago, and Gov. Tawes has been
backing and filling ever since, !"
