course, everyone is happy that
Ohio has set a new low record
for child accident deaths. But /
do not believe that any of us is
satisfied with that record. 1t

accidents"
1T is dp TO the adults in Ohio :
motorists, pedestrians, parents,
teachers, police officers, sheriffs :
everybody to do more to pro-
tect children from accidental in
jury. We get pretty angry when
some pervert harms one child.
We should begin to get angry
about adult thoughtlessness that
kills several hundred youngsters
in this state, year after year." he

Man Pays S168
But Still Owes
A SIS Debt

Atlanta amp A solicitor
general, investigating practices of
loan firms here. last week came
up with the case Of a SO year old
man who borrowed SIS in 1919.
after paying S16s.75, some three
years later finds that he still
owes the original SIS.
The case Of the colored man,
who preferred to remain unknown
is one of many uncovered by the
Solicitor General Paul Webb in
his investigation Of loan company
practices.
A laborer, the man borrowed
the money TO start payment on a
home. He agreed to pay 1878
monthly. But because of jumbled
interests. insurance and service
charges, he has not been able TO
reduce the original note.
Now with his wife sick and
faced with doctors bills and meet
ing a $3.50 monthly payment on
his home, he sought help from
Webb in his vctimized state.
He told Webb he has TO sign a
new contract with the loan COM
pany every month since he signed
for the loan. and that each time
he is charged s1.5O for "investi-
eating his title to the furniture
he put up as security.
He added that the company has
charged him for life insurance, for
health and accident assurances.
He has never defaulted in his
payments, he pointed out, but can
see no end 10 his payments to the
company at the rate he Is going.

Predict South
Africa To Leave
British Alliance

London tANPl-- Because OF
its tacist policies, South Africa
soon may be eased out OF the
British Commonwealth.
That is the prediction made last
week by Ernie Hill, columnist for
a foreign news service.
Chief reason, according 10 Hill,
is Daniel F Malan's opposition to
Independence status for the Gold
Coast To support Malan against
other non-white members Of the
commonwealth would have un-
favorable repercussions for Brit
ain, Hill said.
DR.. Kwame NkrumAh, a grad
uate OF Lincoln university tPa)
and Prime Minister of the Gold
Coast wants independence for the
Gold Coast now. Winston Church
III. prime minister Of England. Is
agreeable TO Nkrumah's demands
But Malan vigorously opposes the
proposal.
Hill. in predicting that South
Africa viii be eased out Of the
commonwealth. said in part:
When II comes 10 a showdown,
the Union Of South Africa Is GER
tain to be the loser even II II
means showing DIR. Malar's coun-
try out OF the commonwealth.
Britain cannot afford TO alien
ate India. Pakistan, and Ceyion
on this issue with a racial back
ground.
Malan opposed independence for
the Gold Coast on grounds 1t
would set a bad example for
other al-biack colonies striving
to get fun Independence. He re-
CARDS Nkrumah as a dangerous In
fluence 10 South Africa's white
supremacy program.
DIR. Nkrumah predicted several
years ago that Malan would be
the stumbling block In the path Of
Independence.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1953-10-16

also clarified the status Of DIR. r.
ID. Patterson, president Of the
UNCF.
DR.. Patterson In message
sent from Africa refuted early re-
ports that said he would resign
as president Although he has left
Tuskegee institute where he was
president. DIR. Patterson's work
as director Of the Phelps-Stokes
Fund is directly associated with
education, he said, and that or
ganization has indicated it's In
terest In the UNCF.
The former Tuskegee prexy
could not attend the Chicago
meeting because he is filling an
important task in Nigeria for the
World Bank He is making a re-
port on the educational facilities
available there for the bank. In
his message TO the UNCF, DR..
Patterson regretted his absence
and wished the meeting success.
A whole host OF speakers at
various luncheon and meetings
gave the Windy city complete
picture OF what IL being achieved
at the 81 member colleges. Most OF
the meetings were held at Hotel
Sheraton. with a special luncheon
sponsored by alumni OF member
colleges at the Parkway ballroom.
Chief spokesman were DR. Rufus
r. Clement, president Of Atlanta
university, and DR.. Benjamin f.
Mayr, president OF aorehouse
College. Both addressed special
meetings.
Explained DR.. Clement. The
organization helps them to main
tain high educational standards

which form focal points at which
people Of goodwill Of both races

lens. This helps to eliminate seq
regation by dispeiling ignorsnce.
