INDISPENSABLE AREA
Almond Plans Drive
In Northern Virginia
BY MARY LOU WERNER

The man who has one foot
in the door to the Governors
mansion at Richmond comes to
Northern Virginia tomorrow
with high hopes of welcoming
the States orphaned corner
back into the Old Dominion
family circle.
Attorney General J. Lindsay
Almond, jr., who so far is the
only announced Democratic
candidate for chief executive, let
it be known on the eve of his
visit to Arlington County that
he considers the suburban
fringe around Washington IAN
indispensable area of Virginia
which he has no intention of
snubbing either as a candidate,
or as Governor.
The occasion for his visit is
speech before the Northern
Virginia Builders Association,
preceded by a reception that
some of his Democratic sup
porters have arranged.
1t can be argued that any
wise politician in election year
fishes for votes wherever avail
able. but there had been specu-
lation that the State Democratic
leadership would just as soon
write off Northern Virginia as a
lost cause" to the Republican
Party.
Northern Virginia gave Re-
publican Ted Dalton majority
in the last gubernatorial cam
paign against Gov. Stanley, and
Mr.. Dalton is regarded as the
likely G. O. P. nominee again
this time.
Active Drive Planned
But some comments of Mr..
Almond imply that he might
have something to offer North
ern Virginians that Gov. Stan
ley didn't. And he intends to
carry his message into Arlington,
Alexandria, Fairfax and Falls
Church as often as possible dur
ing the election campaign.
For one thing, he says he
doesn't approve of reprisals. He
didn't mention any specific in
stances, but observers were re-
minded of the revocation of
Arlington County's privilege to
elect school board members. That
action came last year after the
county school board announced
a tentative school indignation
program.
You can't cut off someone's
head just because you happen to
disagree on one ISSUE" COM
mented Mr.. AlmonA- The two
of you might be on the same side
when the next battle comes
along"
He summed up his philosophy
of government in this way:
IT believe that in all important
matters you have to take into
consideration local conditions,
local attitudes and local senti-
ment. Then blend these into a
program for the overall good of
the Commonwealth"
This should be music to the
ears of Northern Virginians, who
have had occasion more than
once to wonder if any one in
Richmond cared what they
thought. No complaint has been
heard more often in the States
northern communities than the
lack of local considerations in
charting Virginia's about resist

|Sukorno and Army Chief
Split on Deal With Reds

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Mar. 6
R.-President Sukarno and the
head of his army. Maj. Gen.
Abdul Harris Nasution. were re-
ported in serious disagreement
today over Mr.. Sukarno's plan
to take Communists into the gov
eminent and institute a guided
democracy"
A high-ranking army officer
who attended secret meetings
between Mr.. Sukarno and Gen
Nasution disclosed that Gen
Nasution voiced opposition to the
plan.
Officers and units of the army
have revolted in scattered parts
of Indonesia. But Gen. Nasution
himself has been regarded as
loyal to Mr.. Sukarno.
Opposition to Reds
The reported rift may point
up just how serious and wide
spread has become the OPPOSE
ton to bringing Communists in
to the government.
The source quoted 1t. Col.
Ventje Sumual, leader of the
bloodless Army coup in East
Indonesia. as "preferring to CO.
operate with American imperi-
alists rather than Communists. /"
Col. Sumual fears that this
country would be led into the
hand of the Kremlin," the source
said.
I'VE may not be involved in
politics but we have the right to
object if this country will be-
come a dictatorship for the Com
munists," Col. Sumual was
quoted as saying.

ICOLORFUL EX-CHIEF
OF PRESS CLUB
.OUTDOES AFRICANS

ACCRA, Ghana (P.-Re-
porter Frank Holeman of
the New York Daily News,
wearing a blue-red-orange
sport shirt. created a stir
yesterday when he visited a
village in this new nation.
The 6-foot-7 Mr.. Hole
man, towering over every
one at tribal dancing cere-
monies, attracted a small
group of Africans. A sub
chief, dressed in robes not
nearly as colorful as Mr..
Holeman's sport shirt, in
quired if he was a chief in
America.
Another reporter, remem-
bering Mr.. Holeman for
merly was president Of the
National Press Club in
Washington, assured the
sub-chief that Mr.. Holeman
was a big chief.
Nightly impressed. the
sub-chief asked Mr.. Hole
man to look up his brother
who. he said. lives in Mich
igan and plays the piano.

among the 300 foreign delegates
present for the ceremony.
In Washington, President
Eisenhower congratulated the
government and people of Ghana
and the State Department an
nounced United States recogni-
ton of the new African state.
The American Consulate In
Accra was raised to Embassy
status at minute past midnight.
The independence ceremonies
came after an era of British in
fiuence that began when Eng
lish traders first landed on the
African Gold Coast in the 18th
century. British administration
actually dated from an agree
ment signed in 1874 under which
local chiefs agreed that a Brit
ish governor should administer
the towns along the coast fol-
100 years.
Keep Tie to Britain
The new country takes in the
self-governing colony Of the Gold
Coast and that part of Togoland
formerly administered by Britain
under U. N. trusteeship. The
name Ghana was chosen by Mr.
Nkrumah after a rich African
kingdom that flourished in the
area between the 9th and 10th
centuries.
In a speech TO the Legislative
assembly. Mr.. Nkrumah sale
Ghana wanted to stay in thu
British Commonwealth because
its members we're dedicated tc
seeking a solution of their prob.
lens by democratic and peaceful
means"
so long as that policy stands.

with the commonwealth is as

youngest government head in the
Commonwealth. Mr.. Nkrumah
told the assembly he would take
over the cabinet posts of defense
and external affairs, in addition
to serving as Prime Minister.
Ghana's foreign policy. Mr.
Nkrumah said, will be based on
dignity, peace and friendship"
THE government feels" he
said, that at this stage the
country should not be committed
in any aspect of its foreign policy
and it should not be aligned with
any particular group Of powers
or political bloc"
He asserted Ghana does not
intend to follow a neutralist
policy but intends to preserve its
Independence to act as it deems
best at any given time.
The Prime Minister expressed
hope that as a free state Ghana
will become a center for dis
lcuSsion of African problems as
IA whole.
Our aim is to work with others
to achieve an African personality
in international affairs" he said.
Many American Negro leaders
in education. labor and politics
who attended the independence
festivities made clear Ghana
would have a powerful corps of
friends in the United States.
Most seem acutely aware of
the historical significance of in
dependence for Ghana, which is
the ancestral homeland of mil
lions Of American Negroes whose
forefathers were taken to the
United States as slaves.

Has Rich Resources
Mr.. Nkrumah declared the new
nation-the size of Minnesota
with nearly 5 million Africans
must be reckoned with not only
in West Africa but throughout
the world. Ghana supplies half
the worlds cocoa and has rich
resources of gold. diamonds,
bauxite and timber.
The 48-year-old Prime Minis

Mr.. Nixon presented a 1000

the library, valued at between
