ranee, illness, and poverty. We
will turn to any country that
will help us work out these
problems, as long as there are
no strings attached to the
help.”
Mr. Ngala said that for the
present he did not see how
this Kenyan policy could apply
to the Soviet Union, since he
said it was evident that the
Soviets always attached the
sort of strings that c^uld be
very dangerous to Kenya’s in
pendence.
As far as including Com
munists,’’ he said, “we in my
party fthe Kenya African
Democratic Union] are very
much against communism and
feel that infiltration from com
munism must be resisted. This
applies to all of East Africa.
Communism must be resisted
now. Not only can infiltration
from communism affect our
orderly transition to inde
pendence. but it can affect our
economic future.
“I personally feel that if my
party were elected and formed
the first Kenyan government,
that we would take very strong
measures against the infiltra
tion of communism in Kenya
and East Africa.
“My own experience is that
the chaos taking place in Africa
has stemmed from this Com
munist infiltration.”
Mr. Ngala said he felt it was
very important that neocoloni
alism not come about in Kenya
or other of the emerging na
tions in Africa. “Our first in
tention,” he said, “is to get rid
of the colonial regime, whether
it is British, French, or Arab—

“Now the danger is that we
then will have to depend on
these same nations almost com
pletely for our economic sta
{ bility. This is neocolonialism.
To avoid this, we must take
quick steps to bring about eco
nomic independence.”
He said that Kenya and other
newly independent nations
must take care that they not
be used by the bigger nations
in the United Nations.
Mr. Ngala detailed several
! aspects of the decentralized
government that Kenya would
: be moving to under its new
constitution. He said that the
1 many tribes in Kenya made it
necessary for these groups to
havo loral autonomy.
I “We decentralize,” he said,
: “so that in matters that are
close to a region, that region
will have final authority over
this matter—depending on the
Constitution for this authority
and not begging for consent
: from a centralized govern
ment.”
He said that it was very
important for a constitution to

Mr. Kennedy said Lincoln’s
proclamation, which freed

century which “since has

freedom from rhetoric to re

respects a somber story.”
The President said that
during much of the period,
Negroes were divided by
segregation, denied the vote,
subjected to terror, and re

He added:

Mr. Amoako-Atta was given an

Bargaining
Unit Curbs
The National Labor Relations
Board, splitting 3-2 on four cases
involving appropriate bargaining
units for insurance agents, has ap
proved petitions of the Insurance
Workers for separate elections in
district offices of three major in
surance companies.
The companies in each case
asked for units covering either the
entire country, one region or one
state.
NLRB Chairman Frank W.
McCulloch and Members John
H. Fanning and Gerald A. Brown
■greed that smaller units were
appropriate. Members Philip
Ray Rodgers and Boyd Leedoia
dissented, as they had earlier this
year in the Quaker City Life
Insurance Co. case when the ma
jority voted to abandon an 18
year policy of approving no units
smaller than statewide.'
The majority ordered elections
within 30 days among debit agents

Efforts To
Silence AFL-CIO
Program Fail
The agreement of radio sta
tion WYDE to broadcast the
Edward P. Morgan news pro
gram fulfills the AFLrCIO’s
pledge to prevent the commen
tator from being silenced in
Birmingham, Barney Weeks,
president of the Alabama Labor
Council, AFL-CIO, said today.
The Morgan program is being
carried Monday through Fri
day at 10 p. m. It was dropped
by station WBRC last June, re
sulting in a controversy involv
ing Mayor Arthur J. Hanes and
the AFL-CIO, with the nation^
al AFL-CIO charging political
censorship and demanding a
probe by the Federal Communi
cations Commission. Until Sept.
1 the program was taken up by
by the daylight- only station,
WCRT, which could not con
tinue it beyond the date because
of its limited broadcast hours.
“While 10 p. m. may not be as
desirable an hour as Mr. Mor
gan’s regular 7 o’clock period,
it at least assures a hearing
for this outstanding liberal in
an area where liberal expres
sion is needed,” Weeks said. “I
am sure Mr. Morgan’s informa
tive and stimulating broadcasts
will attract a large listening
audience to WYDE.”
The Morgan program is part
of the ABC network radio news
service.

Taylor, talented change-of-pace
runner, scored all three of his
team’s touchdowns in sparking
Coahoma Junior College to a
19-7 victory over Prentiss Ins
titute Friday night at Communi
ty Center Park.
A partisan crowd of Tiger
fans saw the nimble-footed 165
pounder from Jackson scamper
across the goal line twice in the
second period on a 30-yard
sweep and a two-yard smash to
give Coahoma a 13-0 halftime
lead, a P A T having been added
after the first T D on Charles
Boston’s kick from placement.
Taylor’s final six-pointer came
in the fourth frame on a display
of twisting artistry that carried
him for six yards onto pay dirt.
Unable to penetrate Coaho
ma’s strong forward wall, the
Panther took to the air to score
seven points in the third quart
er.
Strong defensive play — ex
cept for aerial defense — con
tributed to Coahoma’s victory.
A blocked punt and an inter

j the stage for two of the Coaho- !
