Others think his popu-|' larity will exist only in relation| ‘to the amount of space and time|- the white man’s newspapers and pelevision networks spend onl. Some see Malcolm's entry into| the broader field of civil rights), as a prelude to a bloody sum- mer. Malcolm, who has advised |. Negroes to purchase weapons} for self-defense, has predicted an increase in racial violence for the coming warm months.|.

Mr. Rustin, who coordinated the March on Washington last summer and other demonstrations, said in an interview: ‘ “There are many elements in the Negro community—among the working class and among the intellectuals—who, out of the frustration of the current sttuation, have been deeply at- tracted to Malcolm’s analysis bitt-wWHteet@jected hiasyatisesis.” 4, that we can work together as i lon ; : philosophy of violence.’ HARV Se errey remot intergsted.in the| separate state idea, or in the; back-to-Africa thing, or in the, religion,” he said, listing three! major aims of the Muslim movement. “But they do accept Malcolm’s analysia of the evils that are being practiced on the Negro people.” ~ . Malcolm's influence will be dimtmebed, Mr. Rustie—setdn by “the degree to which the estab-| lished civil rights organizations are more vigorous and develop; a program which quite obvious-| ly affects the man in the street.”’| “God knows we fight,” he| jsaid “It's just that the situa-j tion gets worse all. the time; gobs get worse; housing gets’ “worse: education gets worse,” brand, a leader here in the ef- fort: for equal employment op- portunity, echoed Mr. Rustin’s feelings.
