Many A of these youths have adopted Muslim names although investigation _ revealed that they were not membersof or affiliated with the i N01, MMI or the OAAU.

Ihe gang is responsible for numerous assaults and nggings, chiefly ained at whites on the fringe area or Harlem. However, if the gang is unable to find a white victim they have no reservations about choosing a Negro victin. The gang has also caused a great deal of trouble in schools where they have disrupted classes, demanded to be celled by their Muslin name and have assaulted some teachers. n - the leader oi the "Five Percenters" was CLARENCE EDWARD SMI'S.I-Iwho is incarcerated andunderoing psychiatric examination. He is knarn to gang nenbers as Allah, Clarence 13X or 'Puddin".w The gang has no neeting place other than the street, school yard and public parks. ,,_ The current meaning of "Five Percent is that 85 percent of Negroes are cattle, l0 percent are Uncle Tons and the remaining 5 percent, which they are, are the real leaders of the Negro people. The Muslin indoctrination they receive in addition to the adoption of a Muslim name is the memori- zation of the questions and answers put out by the N01 which ROI membersmust learn before receiving their X name. This list or questions and answers appears to have originated with SMJ."1'Hwas who an ROI nenber under the name or CLARENCE l3X BHIBH, and he undoubted]; obtained it when he,joined the I01.» The IICPD investigation has developed no tie or relationship by the Five Percenters"_ with the IOI, I041 or the OMU.
