Federation of Guionos
Sought by Ex-Minister

GEORGETOWN, Nov. 81
(NANA). - Jai Marine Singh,
former minister of social services
in the Peoples Progressive Party
government, left British Guiana
yesterday on a speaking tour of
South America.
Singh's stated aim is to set up
Guiana federation made up of
the three neighboring colonies
of British, French and Dutch
Guiana-an aim possibly as un-
palatable to the British as those
of the Reds.
Singh, A, Spanish-speaking
lawyer, has spent the last four
weeks talking to people in Dutch
and French Guiana, urging them
to back his idea. The fact that
he is wealthy and. unlike the
other PIP bosses, professedly
anti Communist has helped him.

walked out on last night in a
huff.
The angry Pole stermed from

Poland and the rest of the
Soviet bloc for several years have
been trying unsuccessfully to
seat the Communist Chinese in

Some attaches of the inter-

DR.. Kratz-Suchy would not re-
sumo the Craftsmanship again
but would return to the CO.

speculated his demonstration

Says Red Leaders Are PEOPLE
OId-Tner Develops Unusual Scheme for Achieving Peace
After Reodnq President Eisenhowers Sensible Speech

I'm getting pretty diScour-
aged about the human race"
said Old Timer.
ANY particular branch of
it?"
mo. just the whole shebang."
"All right, let's have it.
What's got you down this
morning?"
Been reading President
Eisenhower's speech, the one
he made at Catholic Univer-
sity where they made him an
honorary doctor of laws"
Nothing wrong with that
speech. Sounded sensible to
me"
That's just it. It was
sensible. 1t was fine. But I'm
wondering what good it's going
to do. Here, let me read you
some of it. I cut it out of the
paper. He says, Those who
seek peace in terms of military
strength alone, I am certain,
are doomed to end up in the
agony of the battlefield And
then further along he says,
Tt is my unshakeable convic-
ton that no people, as such,
want war. On the contrary, I
believe that the longing for
peace among those people that
we now must class as hostile to
us is as great as it is among us.
Else, why would their leaders
have constantly to urge upon
them the argument that we
know to be false, that the free
world wants warp"
'Okay, you've got your text.
Let's hear your sermon"
well, it's something like
this: Ike says no people want
war and in this case he's talk
ing about the Russian people.
Now, who are the Russian
people? We always think Of
them as something entirely
different from their rulers. Or
to put it another way, we don't
think of their rulers as being
people, too. But they are: Rus
sian people. Just some Rus
sian people who've got to the
top in one way or another and
want to stay there. They may
be, as most of us think. some
of the worst specimens among
the Russians, but they are
people just the same. And
when Ike says no people want
war, isn't it just possible that
he'd have to include the people

You're probably right, but

they can stay on top is by

of the leftiSt Peoples Progressive
Party (PPP) now held by Brit
ish authorities repeatedly have
been on a hunger strike since
Thursday.
Party sources said last night
the men ''have been on hunger
strike for the past % hours" in
protest against food and general
conditions at the detention
camp. Although admitting the
men had not eaten a camp meal
since Thursday noon, govern
ment officials said ''it is known
their relatives brought snacks
to camp"
The five were ordered detained
last month by British Gov. Sir
Alfred Savage. An official state
ment said their activities consti-
tuted a threat to public safety
and order.
The action was taken under
emergency powers granted the
government when Britain Sus-
pended the colony's constitu-
tion October 8 and kicked out
six PPP cabinet ministers, charg-
ing them with plotting to turn
British Guiana into a Com
munist state.
The five being held are Sidney
King. works minister in the

Minister Cheddi Jaagan; Rory
WeStmaSs, vice chairman of the
party; Martin Carter, chairman

Bally Lachman Singh, former

In addition to protesting camp
conditions. PPP sources said, the
hunger strikers were demon
strating against Continued
martial law in the colony, against
their indefinite detention and
also against the barbarous use
by Britain of heavy bombers

many children wouldn't go to in

What New York is doing to
cope with it's gangs was de-
scribed by Kenneth Marshall. a
New York Youth Board worker,
assigned to work with gangs.
He told how he hung around a
candy store, which was the
hangout for a gang: how the
boys gradually got to know him
as he passed out a cigarette to
one and handed another a nickel
for a juke box.
He said he kept waiting for.
an occasion to win their conf
dence and found it when he
overheard one discussing job
hunting with another and vol
unteered to help a boy get a job.
An appointment was made for
the next day, he said. but it was
kept. not by the original job
hunter but by a leader of the
gang who had come to lease the
joint" He got both of them
jobs.
Dance Spreads Prestige.
He made further progress, he
said, by arranging for the gang
to hire a hall for a dance. Up
to then, he explained, dances or
sessions" were held in a cold
water fiat, where the dancers
kept on their coats and hats for
fear Of having them stolen,
where 200 or more were crowded
into five apartment rooms and
fights were always imminent.
His gang. he said. won consider
able prestige because it was the
first group in the neighborhood
to have a dance in a hall and
with police protection.
Fighting, he said. was the
main form of group delinquency.
He found some group vandalism
and auto-stealing for joy rides.
About one-fourth of his gang
were individual delinquents.
A collection of weapons pro-
vided by the subcommittee was
held up by the witness. who said
knives and pistols of those types
were used in New York gang
fights. Staff members of the
subcommittee said the knives
had been collected over the years
from juveniles in Washington,
but the guns had been found
elsewhere. 1t was explained that
Mr.. Marshall could not bring
such weapons with him from
New York.
Asked what roles girls play in
the gangs. Mr.. Marshall said
they moved from one gang to
another, picking UP information
and relaying it to their home
gang. Sometimes, he said, their
information was enough to start
fight.
Signs of Brewing Fight.
When a fight was in the off,
ing, he said, electric tension
gripped an entire neighborhood.
He said police had told him they
could always tell when trouble
was coming because the streets
were deserted. Girls, particular
". stayed indoors.
He said he tried to avert
lights by persuasion. If that
failed, he got in touch with his
fellow worker in the rival gang.
and a mediation session was
arrange If this didn't
straighten out the trouble. the
gangs had "a fair one"-a fight
between leaders of the two
gangs. where only fists were
allowed.
The fights, he said, started
on the slightest provocation. and
sometimes the gangs neither
knew nor cared what they were
fighting about.
Like other witnesses, Mr.. Mar
shall said these gangs resist
supervised recreation.
There may be a sign in
center saying, Remove your
hats" Mr.. Marshall said. THAT
