AFRICA'S NEWS BRIEFS

white settler groups, Britain's
Labor Party has adopted num-
Der of proposals for liberaliza-
ton of colonial policy At a con-
ference this month, the party
pledged itself to the establish
ment of democracy in each
colony, with every inhabitant
having vote, regardless of race.
The Labor policy statement call
ed for an end to official racial
discrimination, made proposals
challenging vested interest
groups, and pledged one percent
of the national income to colo
nial development. It also op-
posed granting of freedom to
colonies until full democracy is
eStabliShed-a bitter pill for
white groups in east and central
Africa. Sensing forthcoming vic
tory at the polls, Labor leaders
urged party members to consid-
er the proposals carefully, be-
cause they might have to be
implemented in a few years.
This, it was pointed out, will
require tremendous courage.
NIGERIA'S planned Consti-
tutional Conference, hailed by
Nigerians as their Summit
Meeting" with the British Colo
nial Office, will not be held until
January at the earliest. Colo
nial Secretary Lennox-Boyd says
Britain is ready to grant self
government to the Western Re-

desires it provided that overall
administration of the country
remains in the hands of the
British-controlled Nigerian fed
eral government.

of the bunker's denatured small,
average Germans.
There is clearly not q great
deal Of variety in the incident
of the film but by catching the
bunker's mood of mounting
panic, the picture never lacks for
action. 1t profits, too, by Di-
rector Pabst's attention to not
the major characters but
to the nameless minor humans
of the kitchen. the storerooms
and the fateful switchboard with
its crescendo Of messages of
doom.
The acting Of "The Last Ten
Days" is uniformly effective, its
most memorable performance
naturally that Of Albin Skoda as
Hitler. With Remarque's script
and Herr Pabst's direction to
help. it is an inspired perform
ance he gives Of a madman's
disintegration.
The language of the Plaza S
exhibit is German, Of course, but
the acting and the English sub
titles leave no confusion as to
what it all is about.

A split in the Montgomery
County Welfare Board over
spending practices came out in
the open last night as the Mont
gomery County Council began
its public hearings on a recon-
mended $45.7 million budget.
The Welfare Department came
under attack from Richard w.
Janney of Brookeville, who has
been a member of the board for
the last four years. Mr.. Janney
said funds of the department
are dispensed entirely by trained
social workers and the question
always is how we can spend it. "
He said he felt the department
with a budget in excess of $500,
600 should have a controller to
handle its funds.
: The rift, according to G. Gregg
'Everngam, chairman of the
hoard. has been one that has
been faced squarely by the men,
berS.
mo one is pulling punches, -
Mr.. Everngam said. noting that
Mr.. Janney had told the board
he was going to submit a minor
ity report.
Cut Accepted
The board accepted the pro-
posed $12,261 cut recommended
in the $763, 945 that had been re-
quested.
Mr.. Janney cited three cases
in which he said he felt welfare
aid was being given to undeserv-
ing persons.
Two of these, he conceded,
had been investigated by the
State director of welfare and a
State supervisor who termed the
Montgomery department as zone
OF the finest in the State"
After the attack, Council Pres
ident Robert T. Snure called on
Welfare Director William E.
Royer to answer the charges.
Mr.. Roger said both of the
cases were borderline situations
which his department did not
like. He said the department
had tried to improve the situa-
tons.
Unaware of Case
The director indicated he had
been unaware of the third case
prior to the attack. He said that
if Mr.. Janney had informed the
Welfare Board of the situation
at its meeting last Thursday
night. the department could
have held up the welfare checks
Friday and conducted an investi-
cation.
1--WE are not so soft-hearted
or soft-headed," Mr.. Roger said
He said the department and its
welfare workers resented at
tempts of persons to get illegal
welfare aid and such aid is cut
off Immediately when it is found
to be undeserving.
Mr.. Roger also defended the
Welfare Departments spending
although he said he did not wan;
to imply that there were not
some improper cases on welfare
rolls which the department hac
failed to discover.

Falls Church
Appoints Two
To School Body

The Falls Church City Coun-
ell last night appointed Thomas
H. Lewis and William r. Piercel
to three-year terms on the Cityl
School Board.
Mr.. Lewis, head of the GuyI
Lewis Construction Co., lives att
208 Buxton road. Mr.. Pierce, AMI
attorney. lives at 408 Jacksonl
street. Each has two children in
city schools.
The council. apparently as the
result of previous decision, voted
unanimously for the two men
from a total of eight nominees.
They will take office July l to
replace retiring members John
A. johnson and Oliver J. Cald-
well, both high-ranking Federal
employees. Mr.. Caldwell hasl
served two terms and Mr.. John
son, chairman of the board, has !
served since 1949, when the city'sl
separate. school system was es-
ltabliShed.
Epstein Appointed
Samuel Epstein, of 2O7 Van
Buren, street, was appointed to
the city planning commission,
to fill out the unexpired term of
William j. Driver. A consulting
engineer, Mr.. Epstein formally
built several Veterans Admini-
stration hospitals.
The council also adopted a |
new fire prevention" ordinance. |
Although the new code strictly |
limits the sale of fireworks, the
councilmen ordered that it not |
go into effect until July 16. They
also asked the Northern Virginia
Regional Planning Commission |
to draw up uniform code cover
ing fireworks sale in the entire
area.
An eight-year-old money dis
pute between the city and Fair
fax County was ordered reviewed
by City Manager w. R. Wood
bury preparatory to possible
court action. Involved is $685.
I095 the city says it has coming
from the county. but which re-
cent Virginia Supreme Court de-
Icisions have made dubious, and
$43.4 the county contends the
city owes it.
Qualification Sought
Although the city admits 1t
owes the latter amount, it is re-
Iluctant to pay it until the status
of the first amount is clarified. |
The larger amount represents
money the city says it has COM
ing as the result of it's transition |
in l948 from a town to a city OF
the second class, with greater
autonomy. The other amount
represents accumulated charges
to the city for such county OPP
Grating expenses as courts, cleo
tons and health services.
