The ar- ticle consists of excerpts from The Autobiography of Malcolm X¥ by Alex Haley and Malcolm X which is soon to be released by Bouble- day & Ca, “Johnson and Goldwater,” Mal- colm X writes, “I feel that as far as the American black man Is concérned, are both just about the same. It’s just a question of Johnson, the fox, or Goldwater, the wolf. ‘Conservatism’ is only meaning ‘Let’s keep the niggers tn their place,’ and ‘Liberalism’ |p ‘meaning ‘Let’s keep the knep- ws in their place, but tell then ell treat them a little be Let's fool them more, with more promises.’ Since these are the choices, the black man in Amer- fea, I think only needs to picft which one he chooses to be eat by, because they both will ; him.” Goldwater, Malcolm writes, isn’t another liberal just trying to please beth racists and inte- grationists, smiling at one, and whispering to the other. Gold- water flatly tells the black man * he’s not for the black man.” After comparing the Republican and Democratic presidential can dates, Maleolm concludes: dn't put myself in the po of voting for either one, recommending to any bla to do sa,” Ree SE 70 SEP 241964 Malcolm X (20 <399301-4 191 “Ser 23 1964 —_— — g7C Tolson Belmont Mohr Casper Callahan Conrad DeLoach Evans Gale Rosen Sullivan Tavel Trotter Tele Room Holmes Gandy The Washington Post and Times Herald The Washington Daily News The Evaning Ster New York Herald Tribune New York Journal-American New Yotk Mirror New York Daily News New York Post The New York Times The Worker The New Leader The Wall Street Journal The National Cbsaerver —_ Peopie‘s Worl "The Militant” page 8
