mourners turned out yesterday for
the Muslim funeral service of
Malcolm X, assassinated last Sun-
day. A heavy detail of police
mingled with mourners inside as
well as outside the church, which
anonymous telephone callers hadE
threatened to bomb.
The solemn ceremony was;
broken by applause at one point

Malcolm, though still a Muslim,
had broken with the Chicago bas-
ed Black Muslim movement to
form his own black nationalist or-
ganization.
Malcolm's followers have blam-
ed his slaying on this rival anti-
white group, which is led by Elijah
Muhammad. Malcolm broke with
Muhammad last year, after 12
years as his most effective spokes-
man.

of those under arrest for the

Muhammad sent out word he
would skip a scheduled appearance'
at the sect's national convention
in Chicago yesterday because of
an asthmatic condition.
He had defied reported assassins
Thursday by appearing publicly
at the convention's opening where
he warned:
"We will fight you if you fight
us. You are inviting your own
doom if you try to snuf out the
life of Elijah."

A police guard at Muhammad's
mansion checked the reported
asthmatic condition with one of
Muhammad's guards, who said
Muhammad was quite well, but
declined to confirm the reported
change of schedule.
Malcolm X had predicted his
own murder on many occasions.
He was shot as he started to ad-
dress some 400 of his followers
last Sunday and died before he
could be taken to a nearby hos-
pital.
Elijah Muhammad, now holding
his annual convention in Chicago,
claims that Malcolm's group seeks
his death as revenge.
There were some whites present
for Malcolm's services in the Har-

those attending.

PITTSBURGH (A>) - With ne-
gotiations for a new $basic steel
contract expected to resume in
Pittsburgh March 8, one crucial
question remains in the uncertain
steel picture: who will lead the
union?
United States Labor Depart-
ment officials in Pittsburgh said
yesterday that no matter how
close the final vote in the steel-
workers election battle between
incumbent president David Mc-
Donald and I. W. Abel, union sec-
retary-treasurer, the man with the
most votes will probably take
office June 1. McDonald is top
man until then.
The union's international tell-
ers have been busy for a week
behind closed doors tallying the
votes of more than 600,000 steel-
workers.

WASHINGTON - The United
States Chamber of Commerce
recommended last night a $5.7-'
billion slas hin the $112.3 billion
of new spending authority it said
Congress is being asked to approve
this session.
The chairman of the chamber's
government operations and expen-
ditures committee said a reduction
of this size can be made "without
impairing essential services."

It was unclear whether Indo-
nesia's action ordering its own
management teams to take over
the operations of the rubber plants
was for a temporary period or
longer. But the expropriation de-
cree was interpreted by U.S. Con-
sul Theodore Heavener to be tem-

Jakarta government,
It was reported that if the Amer-
ican managers did not yield, the:
plantations would be subject to
attack by the Communist-dom-

Officials in Washington said In-

refused to agree to an extension.
Predictions
There were predictions last week
by some members of the AFL-CIO
executive committee that Secre-
tary of Labor Willard Wirtz might
seek to void the election and get
the courts to order a new one.
The Labor Department denied
there had been any contemplation
of such a move. Industry and un-
ion sources called such talk pre-
mature.
If the -secretary of labor were
to act under the Landrum-Griffin

essarily result.

THE UNITED STATES is now seeing a slowdown in its population boom. Although population is still
increasing, the rate of increase is smaller than previously, according to the Metropolitan Life Insur-

populous state while Iowa and West Virginia have lost in population.

Focused through the magnify-

the trends have produced the in-

One development was the in-

Leads to Meetings
The ideological side of this strug-
