Asked For Standard
Both Key and Miss Pagan. a tall
and shapely brunette, pleaded not
guilty to the charges through their
attorney, William R. Neblett.
They complained that they have
repeatedly asked city officials to
set up standards of decency for
such performances but that nobody
would offer any advice.

kenyA Problem Gets Bigger
United Nations. N. Y.-CANP)
In London. Joseph Murumbl,
former Secret&ry-general Of the
prescribed KsnyA African Union,
which repeatedly had q total men,
bership Of 5000. recently de-
bated the question, "Kenya Prob
lem" with a Conservative party
representative. The debate was
sponsored by the Afro-west In
dian Social and Cultural Society.
Incidentally. though II In not
publicly known. many Of the for
mer leaders in Kenya African In
ion, Of which Jomo Kenyatta was
president, are being held In deten-
ton camps under emergency regu-
lations Of the Ksnya colony.
There has repeatedly been some
discussion In political circles Of
releasing prominent Africans who
belonged to the Kenya African
Union, the strongest political Or
ganization for Africans In the
colony, 10 that they might deal
effectively with the constant, a.
well as growing threat OF Mau
Mau forces.
In recent weeks, MAu Mau
forces have been armed with
modern rifles and machine guns

ial Secretary Oliver Lyttelton to
make a return trip to the troubled
colony.
One correspondent, whose know

fairly extensive. writes, The
emergency has developed into q
civil war, which can only be ended
when the KiIxuyu themselves de-
eide to stamp out Mau Mau; the
white man cannot do the job him.
self.
Gone are the time when It was
fashionable that all talk Of reform
must be postponed until after the
emergency has been ended. What
ever else It has done. Mau Mau
has shaken the settler out OF their
escapism into q bewildering reali-
zation that they have chosen to
make their lives among millions
OF Africans. who possess the
power to destroy them, and whose
minds they have never bothered
TO begin TO understand"
Strangely enough. the Kamba
tribe. from which African soldiers
and police are recruited, Is slowly
aligning with the KIbuyu in ex-
pressing resentment to European
settlers and police brutality.
Also the influence Of Mau Mau
Is spreading even to Nairobl itself
where the Kikuyu population Is
now roughly $4,000.

Three celebrities Of the Rev
dictionary period Of American
history have been Endorsed for
philatelic honors by Senators
from their respective States.
AS projected in The Star last
Sunday, they are Patrick
Henry, Paul Revere and
Caesar Rodney. Referring to
the first Of these worthless.
Senator Harry F. Byrd Of Vir-
ginia told The Star on Friday:
There can be no more ap-
propriate American patriot
than Patrick Henry to be hon.
ored In the proposed stamp
series COMMUNICATING Heroes
Of Peace The value Of his
services to this country Is still
incapable of estimate. Ger
tainly, his plea for liberty or
death must be our everlasting

A similar sentiment was ex-
pressed by Senator Leverett
SaltonStall Of Massachusetts,,
who said: paul Revere SYM
bolizes the awakening Of free
dom on this continent. I think
it fully appropriate that a
stamp concentrating his
services to the Republic be
issued" Senator John Fitz-
gerald Kennedy likewise ap-
proved the proposal Of q Paul
Revere stamp.
The Star also received
message from Senator John J.
Williams Of Delaware. reading:
II am glad to join in the move
ment favoring the issuance Of
a commemorative postage
stamp in honor Of Caesar Rod
ney, who played a prominent
role in the events leading up
to the American Revolution
and the adoption Of the Dec
laration Of Independence. He
was born in Dover, DEL. in
1923 and died at Dover in 1874.
AS early as 1765 he was sent
as q delegate to the Stamp Act
Congress in New York to pro-
test against the Stamp Tax. He
also was one Of the two men
who represented the Lower
Counties in all Of the import
ant events leading up to the
American Revolution. When
the question Of complete sep
aration from England came be-
fore the Continental Congress.

Only three studious West
defenders, giving careful heed
to the bidding and anticipat-
ing the probable lie of the I'M
seen cards, found the way to
defeat this contract.
West, after cashing the king
and queen of spades, must
abandon that suit lest declarer
obtain a ruff and slough. West
knows his heart queen is a
sure winner and must there
fore attempt to develop the
setting trick before the trump
queen is dislodged. The dia-
mond suit offers the only hope
of providing the setting trick.
Less thoughtful West de-
tenders cashed the king, queen
Of spades and, fearful Of the
ordinarily distasteful lead away
from the diamond queen,
exited safely with the single
ton club. Gratefully, declarer
won the club, played the ace,
king and another heart and
thus fulfilled his contract.
