UNITED NATIONS, NY. (Glo-
baD = KENYA More than
1,5OO Moslem delegates gathered
in the capital of the East African
Colony to plan an Islamic Central
Association for the more than
100000 Moslems living in the Brit
ish dominated territories of Kenya,
Tangayika, Uganda and Zanzibar.
This Central Association will act
as a permanent political, economic,
social and cultural body for the
East African Moslems apart from
Asian religious groups. The most
important person attending this
conference was Major Salak Sa-
lem, Egyptian Minister of National
Guidance and Minister Of Sudan
Affairs.
NEHRU Z. Spea king last
week at the opening Of the African
Students Conference in New Delhi,
India, Prime Minister Jawaharal
Nehru commended the example of
India's non-violent struggle for In
dependence to the peoples of Africa
as method dictated ''by both wis
dom and practical politics."
Mr.. Nehru said he has been
frightened at "the prospects of
Africa going through a welter Of
violence, thereby losing a genera
ton or two generations of lives in
this business before it starts a con-
structive, creative career"
PALESTINE The Security
Council continued it's endless dis
cussion of the Syrian charge that
a planned hydro-electric project in
Israel would divert a part of the
water of the Jordan River illegally.
further debate was postponed until
this week, Tuesday, when the
United States found that it could
not muster the necessary seven
votes in favor of a resolution that
would, in effect, throw the dispute
back into the lap of Gen. Vagn
Bennicke, Chief of Staff of the
UN truce team.

DGdI MISS Doll.
I am 21 years old, and live with
my uncle and his family. Since
coming to live with them two
years ago, l met a nice young man
at a party while he was home on
furlough We began dating because
his girl friend had made other
dates, even though she expected
him. We corresponded regularly
when he went overseas, and when
he came back last summer, we be-
came serious about each other
We visited each others homes
and our families seemed to ap-
prove, and he was to give me the
ring for Christmas. My problem
arose Thanksgiving. AS soon as he
was home, his mother and sister
began to tell him stories about me.
They said he should forget me be-
cause I was a flirt, always going
out on dates with other fellows
while he was away. His mother
also said / acted funny around
her, when really l tried to be very
nice to her. l am very angry about
everything and do not plan to
speak to them again, but what can
1 do about Jack? We've had sew
eral arguments and he has had dis
agreemnts at home about this. We
want to carry out our plans and
want the approval of both families,
but this way, only my family will
give consent. What do you advise :?

wrong, for until you officially be-.

others. Jack has to be away
months at a time and should not
expect you to sit home while he is
away. Once you are engaged, it
will be different. If he is still to be
away, you two must discuss the
matter FLY. This will bring about
complete understanding and
trust between you, which must be
carried into your marriage.

not stop speaking to his family,
but rather be extremely nice to
them. You don't want to start Out
with i'll feelings toward your in
laws. After the engagement, show

Getting
Along
BY LAUREN WHITE

NEW 1OICTN, NSlODdl) III pIllC
illustrations of great truths are
around us constantly. A recent
teleVison program History of
Life depicted the development of
life on this planet, and turned our
thoughts on conencting things. The
narrator, DR.. George Gaylord
Simpson, showed pictures of the
first forms of life. They were
spineless creatures that led useless,
purposeless lives because they had
no brains and no backbone. AS long
as the various forms of life had no
brain, they remained useless. AS
soon as life began developing back
bones to stand erect, and brains to
think, life became useful.
When man emerges from a dis
advantageous position to a better
one, it is always from the develop
ment and use Of backbone and
d
stances:
When the thirteen American
colonies wanted to be free from
English domination and all the
odds were against them, backbone
and brain allowed them to gain
that freedom. Consider the case. of
India. She has always wanted to
be free and independent, Lacking
industrial power and powerful
army, her case seemed hopeless.
But under the leadership of Mo-
handas K. Ghandi, India used nom
violent resistance to become indie
pendent. This was a different ap-
plication of backbone and brain.
Take the case of the native Afri-
cans. They have always resented
outsiders who, by trickery and
chicanery, have taken most of the
wealth of their country. The Afri-
cans have always had enough back
bone to resist their oppresSorS, but
they also had enough brain to be
able to tell when their resistance
would not be effective. In the past
few years, the entire native popu-
laion of Africa has moved forward
steadily. Their brains told them
that the time to move was when
all oppressed mankind was moving.
Backbone and brain are now ele-
waiting Africans to a position where
they can control their own desti-
nieS.
American Negroes can learn
much from the foregoing Very
likely we are the best equipped of
all oppressed people. We live in a
country that is rich in natural re-
sources and those resources are
we'll developed. All in all, we are
probably the best educated of all
oppressed people. Theer is no ques-
ton that we have greater purchas-
ing power than any group of
people who do not control their
own destinies. e---,
We will be on our way toward
more effectively using our back
bone and brain when we start
spending our SIS billion yearly in
come more wisely.

And Mickey, like most Of the
