0mega's Launch
Scholarship
Fund Drive

Itta Bena-Iota Omicron Chap
ter of the Omega Psi Phi Fra
ternity launched it's Miss Omega
Scholarship Fund Drive here, Sat
urday, according to the chapters
Basileus, B. E. Coulon.
Iota Omicron, a chapter which
covers about ten counties in the
vast Mississippi Delta, will estab-
lish Scholarship Trust with the
proceeds from the drive separate
and distinct from the chapters
other holdings; to be administered
by board of trustees. The board
will award scholarships to high
school students possessing aca-
demic scholarship and a need for
financial aid.
Two affairs have been planned
for public consumption raise funds
by the "Miss Omega" contestants,
a scholarship ball and basketball
game. On December Is, the "Omega
Scholarship Ball" will be held in
Greenwood, Mississippi. An antici-
pated crowd of 400 people are ex-
pected to attend the benefit affair.
The benefit basketball game is
scheduled for Clarksdale, Missis-
sippi, December 81.
At the kickoff meeting, Coulon
stated that 'the chapter has al
ways been conscious Of the need
for a scholarship program for
our youth. The need has been ap-
parent, and our action will take a
big step in satisfying that need.
There is nothing more important
in our minds than providing o
means for worthy youths to receive
a college education. These youths,
he said, will return and render a
service threefold our investment to
their communities"

vergent standpoints can be recon-
ciled from either a moral or prac-
tical point of view is one of the
! thoughts of a number of South
questions now exercising the
Africans.
The contradiction is one that
will become more apparent as
time goes by. The first Negro
visitor from Ghana is but the first
of flow of African officials
which must be expected in the
future. South Africa cooperates
on technical matters with various
nations in Africa. Many of these
technical conferences and discus
sions must be held in South AT
rica. From now on, there will be
steady increase in the number
Of Negro African delegates.
Controversy Hinted
In addition, there is the distinct
prospect of South Africa's ex-
changing diplomatic representation
with Ghana and successive African
states to gain independence. This
prospect is believed to have stirred
some controversy in the South At
rican cabinet.
External Affairs Minister Eric
H. Louw, himself faced with the
realities of conducting South At
rica's negotiations overseas, is be-
iieved to be more enthusiastic about
such representation than some of
MS colleagues. Prime Minister
Johannes G. Strijdom himself fully
reallzes the necessity of South At
rlca's recognizing and maintaining
friendly relations with the emerg-
ing states of Africa.
A group of the governments
more extreme supporters are.

opposed to any move which will
introduce polished and highly edu-
Gated Negro Africans from other
countries, who must necessarily he
afforded all the respect due their
diplomatic status, into the raciallv
segregated community of South
Africa.
Difficulties Seen
Many more rules and regulations
pertaining to the color bar would
have to be waived in the case of
resident African diplomats than
was necessary in the recent case
OF Mr.. Simpsons visit.
1t is unlikely, for example that
an official representative Of the
government Of Ghana would find
1t acceptable to locate his resi-

The key vote in the 31-member

"a to 4 for suspension of the rules.
The Senate refused, IA to 10, to
eliminate from the school-closing
bill a provision requiring that
state funds for closed schools be
used for "out-of classroom instruc-
tion." Senator Kazen got the floor
by offering an amendment to strike
out that clause. He argued that

Mr.. Simpson is a Negro African
Yet the government of South At
rica has broken all the rules OF
the color bar for him and extended
to him a freedom which none of
South Africa's own Africans are
afforded.
Mr.. Simpson stayed at exclusive
white hotels. At airports, officials
ushered him through entrances and
exits reserved exclusively for
whites. A shining government car
was placed at his disposal. Ex-
tremely senior officials of the Ex-
ternal Affairs Department were
assigned to shelter him from any
embarrassment. He ate, surround
ed by whites, in the cleaning res
taurants from which South Africa s
non-whites are barred.
Enjoyable Stay
And at the end of it all, Mr..
Simpson termed it: "a most enjoy
able stay-if l had the chance, I'd
be glad to come again."
Some observers believe the Sc
lection of Mr.. Simpson as Ghana's s
representative to a conference of
the maps and survey committee
Of the Commission for Technical
Cooperation in Africa may have
been a shrewd move on the part
of Ghana's Prime Minister Kwame
Nkrumah.
Mr.. Simpsons superiors in his
department are white men and at
least one of them, in common with
a number of other white govern
ment servants in Ghana, is thought
to be of South African origin.
These were passed over, however,
and an African official was sent
instead.
If by this move DR.. Nkrumah
hoped to exert pressure on the
South African Government, he
would seem to have been success
full in some measure. At a news
conference during Ghana's indie
pendence celebrations in March,
DR.. Nkrumah said that he hoped
to influence South Africa toward
q more humanitarian outlook on
the color question by demonstrate
ing the capacities of Negro Afri-
cans.
Mr.. Simpson, the son of q fish
ing fleet owner and well-educat-
ed man holding the charter of the
Royal Institute of Chartered Sur
veyors, certainly appears to have
made a good impression during his
stay.
Contradictions Exposed

going on around you thatll always
attract your attention, which is
what I've learned from settin dowr
eating my fish and drinking my
beer, and / suspect that there is
some other places and situations
where your mind amt always or
what is going on around you, OF
maybe it'll be better for me to say
it lack my Grandma used to tell
me when reminding me to keep my
mind on what / was doing as she
would always say when / would be
churning the milk or freezing the
ice cream when she caught me
looking off into space, Boy, Keep
Your Mind On What You're Doing
This is what | couldn't help
thinking about when / set down to
my fish and beer, and thought
about the folks | know that's been
killed and manned in automobile
accidents, and which lead me to put
something down here about what /
thought my grandma would say to
them that left who amt been
MANNED and broken up or killed in
an automobile accident. Of course
grandma would say nothing to
you about what you got in you
while you diving your automobile,
not liking the stuff at all suspect
if you got manned or killed while

say would've been, Well, that's

thought I'd say to you'alls here
this week, that whilst you driving
you automobiles, if you don't want

US. Will Make New Effort for Gold War Truce; NATO Agrees to
 Nuclear Missile Bases in Europe

PARIS R--The l5-nation North Atlantic Alliance, defying Russian threats and warning, agreed today to base U,S.-made nuclear missiles in. Europe. The United States thus won its major purpose at the sum init conference.
 The price paid by the US. was an agreement under pressure to sound out the Soviet Union on "a cold war truce, including a new effort at disarmament.
 The decision was subject to fi- nal approval by the heads of gov ernment, who were to receive a report from their foreign and de- fense ministers this afternoon.
 Gen. Lauris Norstad, Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, will be assigned responsibility under the plan to say where missiles are needed for strategic reasons.
 The missiles involved are the 1,50O-mile type-the Army Jupi- ter and the Air Force Thor. Off cials estimate it will take about Is months to set up the missiles bas- es and the nuclear stockpiles to go with them.
 It was learned that the US. is assuring allied leaders that it has no intention of trying to retain exclusive control over the atom armed missiles and that the con- trol envisaged would be joint.
 It would be assured, further more, by the division of custody over the parts of the weapon.
 By way of example: The Dutch would be given missiles minus .warheads but the US. would set up nearby a stockpile of nuclear swarheads. In emergency, the two parts would have to be put to- gether to make an effective weap- on. The weapon therefore could only be fired by joint action of the US. and the The Netherlands.

Alabama Voters
 Abolish Macon County To Keep White Control

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, REAla- bama voters have authorized the legislature to abolish Macon County rather than see it come under Negro domination.
 The decision came in yesterdays s election on 25 proposed amend ments to the state constitution.
 It reflects the Deep South's fear the civil rights bill enacted by the last Congress to enforce voting rights may lead to Negro political control of local governments.
 Macon County whites are out numbered seven to one.
 The county may now be abol- ished and it's territory added to adjoining counties where whites are in the majority. h
 Returns from 1890 of the states 2700 boxes gave 51,478 for the amendment to 36,82O against.
 That was an unusually light vote, even for an election of this type. The final vote was not ex- pected to exceed one-fifth of the total voter registration of 825.000.
 That figure includes 50,000 or more: Negroes.
