He is, we would say, far more concerned with power and vainglory than with the rights of Ne- groes. His own words convict him of having no deep convictions —- for instance this statement: “I am too intelligent to take a stand as militant and controversial and, as you might say, extrem- iat, unless I had some support.” Is not this the same as saying that he is too THE EVENING SOW 2 intelligent (or temporizing) to. take &@ militant, . 2 : controversial, extremist stand unless he found it _ , ED. oo expedient to do so? & Like all demagogues, of any race or color, he * feeds on publicity and recognition. We grant him this small amount here only to join in the verdict against him that has been returned by the real leaders of his own race. —— Date: 3/15/64 Edition: FINAL Author: Editor: STERLING NOEL Title: MALCOLM X Character: or Classification: Submitting Office: BALTIVORE (_] Being Investigated 00-39732)-h NOT RECORDED 12S MAR 2u ivs4 5'7 MAR 231964 -~ Me a
