MONROVIA, Liberia - CAMP
-Russia'S offer of economic and
technical assistance to Liberia has
been met with GOODNESS through
out the diplomatic corps here, al
though government officials in
dictate that the matter will be
considered by the full cabinet and
submitted to congress.
AS far as the Soviet wish to
establish a diplomatic mission
here is concerned, one Liberian
official frankly expressed the be-
lief that the Communists would
like to use Liberia as the center
for establishment of a sphere of
influence in West Africa, where
the Gold Coast and Nigeria are
nearing political independence.
Other persons in Monrovia
doubt the sincerity of the Russian
offers and hold that Communists
are using Liberia to make propa-
ganda in Africa.

Supreme Soviet Upper House, of
the USSR and head of a party of
three Russian officials who came
here to attend President William

D. J. Is "Man
Without A Name"

Faced with a threatened law
suit, Milton d. Smith, Miami's
Original Fat Daddy, announced
that he was dropping the name
that had been associated with him
for over two years. Smith has be-
come nationally famous as one
of the outstanding personalities
on the air. Shortly after return
ing from action with the First
Marine Division in Korea, Smith
was employed by radio station
WFEC, in Miami. Last year, he
was employed by Robert RounSa-
Vile owner of five radio stations
that specialize in Negro broad
casting, including WMBM, Mi
ami Beach. WFEC has claimed
ownership Of the name Fat Dad
dy, and rather than face a long
drawn out court battle to try and
prove that he originated the name
Fat Daddy, Smith has decided to
drop all use of the name and,
through WMBM, find a new one.
When questioned about it,
Smith, Miami's Original Fat Dad
dy said, "I'm not very well train
ed in business law. Frankly, 1t
never occurred to me, when l
started using the name Fat Daddy
that should have taken legal
steps to insure keeping the name
I associated with me. l started us
ing the name; people started call
ing me Fat Daddy; an even
signed my fan mail Fat Daddy.
l was Just unaware of the tech
nical and legal questions invilv-
ed. It would be pretty hard for
me to prove that / thought UP the
name. WFEC registered the name
and that probably means they
own 1t. It's Cling TO be pretty hard
TO stop using a name that meant
so much to me and has been
pretty lucky for me. want TO
thank all of my friends, who
have been loyal listeners to me
as the Fat Daddy, and hope they
continue to be my friends and
listeners no matter what name j
use"
The former Fat Daddy will con-
tinue broadcasting daily on
WMBM starting at las pm. Until
he finds a name, the show will
not have a name.
Meanwhile, WMBM has an
nounced they are going to conruct
a big contest to get the former Fat
Daddy a new name. Complete de-
tails will be announced soon.
