a Million West
Africans Denied
independence

LONDON - Britain turned down
demands for full self-government
for the four million people of West
Africa's Gold Coast Wednesday. She
thereby risked what many colonial
administrators fear is a threatened
link-up between European Commun-
list agitators and Nationalist leaders
in West Africa.
Nigeria, the Gold Coasts neigh
Dor on the east, also is demanding
full independence outside the British
commonwealth. A government COM
mission studying the Nigeria ques-
ton is to make report about the
first of the year.
Arthur Creech Jones, colonial Sec
rotary, in rejecting the Gold Cosat's
demands for full self-government,
agreed to give somewhat more free
dom to the strategic colony.

CITY MANAGER NOTES PROGRESS

This week City Manager o. P. Hart commented on
the progress made by Miamis Colored population
stated that progress in obtaining improved facilities
and consideration have been made than any other city
in the South.
Mr. Hart mentioned the police force, the section al
loted in the Orange Bowl Stadium, Virginia Beach, the
$4,000 swimming pool to be built and the precinct
police station for which ground has just been broken and
the proposed street paving.
One of the greatest advances says the city manager
the formation of the sum clearance committee of five
White and five Colored whose months of co-opera
tive labor resulted in the ALLEGATION of 1900 units of low
cost public housing most of which will be de.oed to the
needs of Colored people.
Says Mr. Hart
$50 great has been the progress of Negroes here,
both economically and socially that have received
numerous letters from other in the South asking
how it has been accomplished.
We appreciate these statements by City Manager.
Certainly have made progress but still have
a long way to CO. However, working together in the fine
spirit that exists will continue make Miami
better place in which to live
