State has been made clear BY
Premier Camel Abdel Nasser at
Banding; that Egypt's destiny
was inextricably tied with Africa.
In attendance were representatives
Of African nationalists, Islamic
groups, the Acting Consul General
of Ethiopia Ian observer), Attor-
ney Lester A. Taylor of Africa
House, an editor of African Opin-
ion magazine.
In reply to the speech by Mr..
Osman, James r. Lawson, presi-
dent Of United African Nationalist
Movement and chairman of the
meeting, stated, "that because of
the position taken by Egypt for
the complete freedom of all Africa
from colonialsim, it becomes the
duty Of every man and woman in
Africa as well as those of African
descent here in the United States
and elsewhere" to defend Egypt
and Col. Abdel Nasser against ma
licious attacks from any source,
anywhere.
Lawson's statement was further
justified by the vicious, unwar-
ranted and clannish attack by Max
Lerner in the New York Post of
last week. This information was
brought to the attention of the
meeting by a lady representative

nMho Wants kixon?"

That the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen should endorse Stevenson
and Kefauver is not a top item of
newsworthiness since the American
labor movement by and large has
taken similar action.
However, maybe the Trainmen
were a little more pointed in ex-
pressing ONE of their reasons for not
wanting Eisenhower returned to the
White House. Following the recent
BRIT 1856 conference of state legis-
Iabive representative in Chicago at
which the endorsement was made,
President w. P. Kennedy put the
feeling of all delegates down in one
brief sentence:
'In common with many Others"
said Kennedy, "they (the dele
gates) felt that a vote for Eisen-
hover was in reality a vote for
Nixon, and who wants Nixon?'

Adlai Stevenson has proposed that

almost subversive. The leader of the

Intelligent Voter: Trends
Favor Stevenson

Mr. Eisenhower carried Texas, Louis
lana, California, Florida in 1862 by
promising to give the Off-Shore oil Of
the entire nation to those states. There
is not much left to give away now
except water power sites, and high
offices to corporate executives. He has
anger ed the Northwest by trying to
give away the Hells Canyon site. If
he loses the election this may yet be
restored to the people by Congress or
condemnation in court.
All the present prosperity is due only
to carrying on the safeguards and
methods initiated by the Roosevelt re-
gime which Nixon and Mccarthy called
go years of treason. Since Theodore
Roosevelt's Forestry Act, Panama Ca

has initiated no general law or pro-
