Ethiopia, is likely to fall.
Some governments, such as that
of Ethiopia, have long been sus-
picious of Egyptian aspirations in
the Sudan. Though these sus-
picians are perhaps not always
justified by the facts, they stem
from the knowledge that Egypt
must either enforce or negotiate an
agreement with the Sudan on the
division of the Nile waters which
flow through both these countries.
Ethiopian Emperor Halle Selas-
sic made little secret recently Of
his displeasure with the Soviet
loan to Egypt to help build the
Aswan High Dam on the Nile, and
reiterated - as he pointedly has
done on several occasions before
that as the blue Nile rises in the
Ethiopian highlands, Ethiopia is
going to have quite a lot to say
about overall division Of the Nile
waters.
The Emperor is also disturbed
about Egyptian activity in the ter
ritory of Somalia, which borders
Ethiopia and is due to become in
dependent in 1860. He has little
enthusiasm for the cry by Somali
nationalist for a greater Somali-
land in the horn of Africa, COM
posed of Somalia and British and
French Somaliland, and all subject
to the influence of President Mas
ser, whose agents repeatedly are
already active in the territory.
These factors, together with bit
ter Cairo Radio broadcasts beamed
at African lands as far south as
the East African island of Zanzi-
bar, have helped contribute to the
suspicion felt toward President
Nasser by some of the govern
ments in the are.
Although deposed Premier ADJ
dullah Khalil's government leaned
toward the West, it is ruled ON
the basis of a shaky coalition.
Commerce minister Ali Abdel
Rahman, leader of the junior party
in the coalition, was recently over
ruled by Premier Khalil on the
question of setting up an Ameri-
can-financed $40, 0OO, 900 textile in
dustry in the Sudan. The Com
merce Minister turned down the

Va. Negroes Reject
Achievement est
For IMMIGRATION !.

Thirty-one Negro children seek
ing admission to white elementary
schools here, have boycotted ACHE
vement tests set up as a require
ment for admission.
Under the new program of the
city school board, the tests are
required of any pupil transferring
to another city school or coming to
a city school from out of town.
Also part of the plan are personal
interviews with the children, and
establishment of a Negro elemen-
tary school district encompassing
almost all Negro homes.
Charlottesville is one of four
Virginia localities faced with fed
eral district court orders to stop
public school segregation in Sep
TENDER. Virginia law calls for the
closing of any school in which the
races are mixed.
City school officials devised the
the schools open. Officials also set
up policy whereby all children
automatically will be enrolled first
in school attended predominantly
by members of their race.
City Attorney John S. Battle,
Jr., said Oliver w. Hill, counsel
for the children, told him the chill
dren would not comply with the
program.
Mr.. Hill said, at appeared to
us the tests were discriminatory
and merely an effort to evade the
courts order" and determined to
take the matter up with the courts.
Mr.. Hill said he would not say if
Negroes faced similar tests in
other sections of the state, also
would boycott those tests.
