WHITES OPPOSE
CABINET POSTS
FOR NATIVES

Nairobi, Kenya. 1890 (ANP) -
White settlers here last week pro-
tested against the second British
effort to bring peace to this war
torn colony.
The settlers objected to the ad-
hitting of Africans and Asians to
council of ministers 10 help run
Kenya's government. The colored
persons would hold cabinet posts
for the first time.
Earlier the settlers had object
ed to the use of Gen. China as a
negotiator with Mau Mau leaders
to end the l6-month-old war.
Oliver Lyttelton, British colon
ial secretary, employed both APP
proaches in an effort to bring
peace to Kenya.
African and Asian groups al
ready have criticized Lyttelton's
plan to give CABINET status 10 TWO
Asians and one African. The At
ricans have demanded two native
representatives instead Of one on
the council of ministers.
Meanwhile the Mau Mau secret
society continued to take its toll
of Europeans here. Last week the
nationalistic group repeatedly
killed a farmer and his wife at
their farm house, located some
rs miles northeast of Nairobi.
Dead are Walter Bruxner-Ran-
dali and his wife, Marguerite, both
