action pf the United States gov-
ernmer?t in conjunction with Bel-
gium ijt the Congo” last night at
the firgt Harlem rally of the Or-
ganizatyon of Afro-American Unity
since his return from Africa, _
“We want the world to know
we don't like what Sam is doing ta
our brothers in the Congo,” the
black nationalist leader declared.
At a bress conference held upon
his arrival at Kennedy Interna-
tional Airport on Nov. 24, Malj-
colm X was asked about the al-
leged massacre of white hostages
in the Congo, He replied: “When
Lyndon B. Johnson began to fi-
hance Tshombe’s white. merce-
naries, it was only natural te ex-
pect such things to happen. The
weilfht of the guilt is on the white
Mmerfenaries, It’s too bad they had
to dje, but when you shed tears
for those hostages, res tears for
by white people for years and
years .. . Chickens come hom to
roost,” he added,
At the Harlem rally, Maldotm
charged that Lyndon B. Johnson
was responsible for what had hap-
pened in the Congo. Characteriz-
ing Tshombe as the “worst Negro
in the world,” Malcolm told the
audience of about 1,000: “John-
son is sleeping with him, Man you
voted for him. You were insane,
out of your mind. I don’t blame
you. You were tricked.”
Commenting on the fact that the
U.S. government pays the salaries
of the hired white troops in the
Congo Malcolm X suggested:
“Many of you are vets and many
of you are unemployed, We might
put on a drive in Harlem to r
some black mercenaries.” he
audience roared approval.
