UNITED NATIONS
NEWS
BY Samuel p. Perry Jr.

United Nations-N Y.-(ANP)
The chief counsel for Jome
Kenyatta, president of the Kenya
African Union, d. N. Pritt, Q. c.,
has leveled serious charges
against authorities in Kenya.
Pritt has complained that he
would have to send someone to
Nairobi TO get a document be-
cause every telephone conversa-
ton we have is listened to and
every letter read" When An
thony Somerhough, deputy pub
lie prosecutor, denied this, Pritt
stated:
IF this Colonial Government in
this emergency is not opening
letters and listening to my tele-
phone conversations, then the
whole of my personal political ex-
perience is standing on its head
and whoever is responsible for law
and order ought to be blamed for
not doing so. do not call it inn
proper"
In order to get Murumbi, act
ing secretary general of the Ken
va African Onion, as a witness in
the trial of Kenyatta and five
others, Pritt had to call the Lon
don office Of the colonial office
itself. Even at that the current
rule is that Murumbi has to be
out of the closed area by $50 p.
m.
The Kenya government is
charging that the Kenya African
Union and the Mau Mau were one
and the same.
Other news from Kenya is that
Sir Evelyn Barring, the Governor,
has left Nairobi to confer in Lon
don W ith Oliver Lyttleton, secre-
tary of state for the colonies.
Unofficially it is known that
the Kenya Governor has been
seeking additional powers to end
the current emergency which has
received worldwide publicity. The
colonial secretary has to sanction
such powers but has been reluc-
tant to do so, in view of strenuous
objections by Labor party MEM
bers to powers already in use.
1t is quite possible that the
colonial office is quite concerned

Americans Should
Prey That StaIin
Lives Bobson Says

New York. N. Y: Americans
who want to keep the present
sixty-cent dollar from shrinking
to twenty-five cents should pray
for long life for Joseph Stain
thinks business economist Roger
Babson.
There will be no noticeable cas-
ing of the cost Of living during
1853, predicts Babson in the jan
uary issue of the Journal OF Liv-
ing magazine. However. II World
War III breaks out on a major
scale, the dollar win go down.
"I am convinced that Stain does
not want war" writes Babson.
"If he had wanted II, he could
have had 1t. He passed up many
chances in Berlin, in the Middle
East and in Asia, where he might
have provoked our leaders into
war. He did not do II. He has lost
his best opportunities, for we are
now fooled up to turn out enor-
nous quantities of war material.
II do not predict what course
successor might take. There
fore, regularly pray that Josef
Stain may be long-lived. I suggest
you join me in this prayer"
Babson's predictions for 1853
include high total taxes through
out the year, and lower profits
for many companies
On the brighter side. we can
look forward to a leveling off of
the price index. Cuts in dividends
will not be drastic. Interest and
pension payments should remain
secure.
All told, concludes Babson in
his Journal of Living article, we
can breath Just a little easier in
1853. Although the coming year
promises little relief from high
prices and high taxes, at least we

The danger and state of emer-
gency which is in the land at this
time comes from the association
which is known as Mau Mau,
sometimes as the Oath Associa-
ton, and is also sometimes called
by some people as the Association
of the Oath of Mumbi and some
times the K.C.A. (Kikuyu Central
Association and various other
names. We know that it is that
association which is at the root
of danger and troubles now in the
land and we want you to know
that we condemn it utterly and all
its deeds.
I'VE urge you to denounce this
organization as we denounce It,
together with its leaders and those
who are it's followers. Abandon
everything to do with it, for there
is no good thing that can come of
such acts, but only evil and sor-
row and danger. We further say
to all the Kikuyu who have not
entered into these evil doings of
the Mau Mau, whether they be old
men and women, young men and
girls, or even children: Stand
firm.
There is nothing good, self
government or anything else,
which can be achieved by violence.
We will ask the government to
try and find extra living space for
our people peacefully. You know,
moreover, that at the present
time thousands of Kikuyu are be-
ing evicted from the settled areas
where they have lived as squat
ters, and some of them have done
nothing evil and have lived there
in peace and understanding with
the Europeans for many years.
Get together then, you Kikuyu
people, and reject Mau Mau and
all its evil deeds, just as we have
rejected it. Help the (Kenya)
Government with all your might,
so that we may together bring
back peace to the country and so
that it may be possible to speak
with one voice before the (RoyaD
Commission and before the Gov
ernment and explain the needs of
the Kikuyu.
Thus only will our affairs, such
as education, health, agriculture,
go forward and prosper"

incident concerning herself:
AS a bride of only few months
she awoke in their hotel room to
find her husband already gone TO
work. When she had gotten up
and dressed. she discovered that
the room door was locked from
the outside. She called the hotel
manager and asked to be let out.
Half an hour passed, then an
hour and still the manager had
not come TO her rescue. She called
again. Again she waited to be re-
leased. But nothing happened.
When she had been locked up for
several hours, in desperation she
called her husband. He rushed
home and released her. He then
summoned the manager and de-
manded to know why his wife had
not been released.
Look" said the manager, 'if
you lock your wife up in this
hotel, she stays locked up"

Negro intellectual Has
Played important Part
In Fight For Rights
BY Wilson Record
(In The Crisis Magazine for June July)

Almost decade ago Gunnar
Myrdal in An American Dilemma
lsmented the deep cynacism and
the chronic defeatism he observed
among Negro intellectuals. At the
same time, however, he emphasiz-
ed that from among this group
had come the founders ane leaders
of numerous movements whose
aims were a redressing of the
racial balance in this country.
Now cynical Negroes do not in
spire courage among other men,
bers of the race. And IL they re-
gard the plight of Americas larg-
est racial minority as hopeless,
they are not likely to form the
spearheads of organized efforts
to loosen old bands, to cast off
traditional ties, to achieve new
goals and thus improve the posi-
ton of the race.
Myrdars views, when juxtapos-
ed in this fashion, fairly, and with
textual verification, are not easily
reconciled. A part of the difficulty
lies in his failure to operate with
any precise conception Of the Ne
gro intellectual. Corollary with
this is his neglect to designate
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1953-08-28

ity to apply any neat label which
would encompass all his charac-
teristics but upon a capacity TO
delineate those situations within
which he will respond in some
characteristic way.
IntellectualS are those persons
who by temperament, and usually
by profession. are concerned pri-
marily with ideas; that sector of
population, to use Koestler's
phrase, that aspires TO independ-
ent thinking" corollary with this
preoccupation with ideas is spec
iahzation in the use OF words and
symbols and high achievement in
the arts of communication
speaking, reading and writing,
Negro intellectuals display these
characteristics, but in addition
they are regarded by others -and
by themselves as members OF a
socially, If not always biologically
defined racial minority. In So
ciety which places such great en-
phasis on racial and ethnic differ
ences, which stereotypes and seq
regates and discriminates on the
basis Of color, the Negro intellec-
tual is bound to acquire certain
features not commonly found
among the general species, and TO
react against societal pressures
which his pale-skinned colleagues
can never really experience.
However, no sub-group OF Me-
groes responds in the same way
TO a more or less uniform set of
pressures in a white dominated
society. Negro intellectuals are
no exception: on the contrary,
there is probably less uniformity
in their reaction TO race preju-
dice than among any other type
within the Negro society. This
lack of uniformity is a conse-
quence of several factors the
pronounced individualism which
is Characteristic OF any honest and
creative being, the Negro intel
lectuals wider exposure 10 alter
nate ways OF behaving, and the
complex and highly personalized
psychological mesh through
which the Negro intellectual in
particular filters experience.
Intellectual Types
However, TO insist that the re-
spouse of the Negro intellectual to
race prejudice is ultimately in
dividualized is not to suggest that
in certain respects II is not highly
similar to that of many of his
colleagues. Indeed it is possible 10
devise a system of classification
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1953-08-28

specific subtypes of the group to
whom certain of his generaliza-
tons might apply. The tendency
to speak of Negro intellectuals as
a more or less homogeneous SUBJ
species of intellectualus american
us is all too common. II is not I'M
expected that it leads, as in the
case of Myrdal and others, to ap-
parently contradictory assertions.
This is not to say that at certain
levels and for certain purposes
generahzations of this type are
unwarranted. Rather it is to en-
phasize that it is difficult, il not
impossible, to make meaningful
statement about Negro intellec-
tuals, or any similar group. unless
the specific context and the refer
ence is clear in each instance.
Some Negro intellectuals are
chemically cynical and exhibit a
quiet but nonetheless bitter resig-
nation to subordinate place for
themselves and the race. But
others who have an equally valid
claim to the title Intellectual
are extremely optimistic about
their individual life chances and
those of the group as a whole in
an American environment.
Many Negro intellectuals are
highly race conscious and display
militant color pride while assum-
ing an aggressive stance in the
face Of accumulated odds of three
centuries.
Stn others, consumed by self
hatred, when not spologizing for
the accident of their origin, seek
to shear off the marks Of racial
identity and thus remove the one
thing that is definitive of their
being. There are some Negro in
