“LONDON, Feb. g ) (vPr) - Malcolm X, an American ;
black nationalist leader, was refused entry by France today.
He returned here and said defiantly, ‘I never go to any place
where I am not wanted.?
"Malcolm flew to Paris “today to speak to an Afro-
American rally there but French officials met him with a
Government order saying his presence was undesirable. He
was back in London four hours after he had left it.
“He said he had offered an English penny to French
security men at Orly Airport in Paris and told them to ‘give
that to de Gaulle because the French Government ds worth less
than a penny.’
"The 39-year-old former Black Muslim leader said
nine policemen and officials had met him at the plane.
"They gave me no reason why I was barred and did
not let me contact the American Embassy! he said. ‘I was
shocked. I thought I was in South Africa. They let (Congo
Premier Moise) Tshombe in. He's the worst person on earth
and he's de Gaulie's friend,'
+ “Malcolm said he planned to spend the rest of the —
week in London ‘if nothing else happens,' then return to New
York."
