Young African Hits U. S.
On Roce, Colonial Issues

A tall, soft-spoken bachelor
at rs the uncontested leader OF
$4,000 organized workers in
strife-ridden Kenya. Africa-sat
in the bustling coffee shop of the
Mayfiower Hotel and talked to
Washington newsmen about his
current tour Of the United States.
He said he's in this country to
acquaint the American public
and some Of its leaders with
Kenya's many problems.
Every bit as polished as an
Oxford graduate, which he is,
and speaking excellent English.
Tom Mboya, dedicated executive
secretary Of the Kenya Fedora
ton of Labor. had much to say
Some Of 1t was about a 'preju-
diced" author, the evils of British
rule, Americas race problem, the
federation's aims and his rise to
high position so early in life.
Slipping a cup Of coffee, the
obviously capable spokesman for
most of Kenya's trade unionists
found in Robert Ruark, author
of Something of Value" too
much to take without comment.
Cites Prejudice"
His story of Kenya's prob
lens. particularly his account of
the Mau Maus, clearly shows his
prejudice" Mr.. Mboya said with
certainty.
He said the world, through
the book, has been led to be-
lieve that the British who live
in his part of Africa have not
committed atrocities equal to
those of the Mau Maus.
He told his listeners the con-
duct Of the British in Kenya is
as bad as the Mau Maus and
that. in some respects. life in a
colony is worse than in a Russian
"protectorate."
He insisted that colonialism,
as practiced today in Cyprus
and other spots, is not in the
least better than the treatment
sometimes dealt the satellites Of
the USSR.
Mr.. Mboya could not under
stand, therefore, why American
foreign policy, which advocates
self-rule around the globe, is
willing to sacrifice principles to
appear in support Of French and

do not. That's why he brought
back six different species.
The trip. he said, was tedious.
Any delay in flight could have
wrecked the venture.
The doctor explained that the
life span of a mosquito is less
than a week, in some cases only
70 hours.
In Ideal Quarters
That the trip came OF first
rate was evident yesterday when
the newly arrived subjects laid
eggs, the first time lengthy cap
tivity has shown real evidence
of success.
Guinea pigs that they are, the
mosquitoes are being housed in
the best Of Army quarters. Their
spick-and-span cages are kept
in a special insectary, where the
temperature is set at 80 and the
humidity ranges from 80 to 30
per cent-ideal mosquito condi-
tons even for the lowest Of
breeds.
AS one generation succeeds
another-and DR.. Barnett Is
hopeful he can keep them going
the researchers expect to dis
cover the best possible means Of
prevention and control of the
fevers, most Of which attack the
central nervous system. The
goals are effective sprays and
eventually a vaccine.
White mice and baby chicks
are likely to be the goats. In
addition to sugar water the mos.
Iquitoes must have blood. DR..
Barnett said, or they won't lay
eggs. He even plans mosquito
surgery, a task he said Is not
as difficult as 1t sounds.

Planning Unit
Is Restored
In Arlington

The Arlington County Board
today voted unanimously to re-
activate its planning commits
sion. effective June 80.
The vote. on a motion by
George M. Rowzee. jr., was for q
nine-member body. The COM
mission will replace two advisory
|groups-the ~Zoning and Land
Use Committee and the Develop
ment Committee.
Before taking this action, the
board officially voted out of ex-
|istence the old planning COM
mission. which had no staff. The
terms Of its left three members
expired last month.
Today's move restored the
same planning machinery setup
that was in effect three years
ago. In a controversial action,
the 1853 county board established
the two advisory groups and
eliminated referral of coming
and land use cases to the COM
mission.
