Clmaxing his busy, eventful
three-day visit in New York
City, DR.. Kwame Nkrumah,
Prime Minister of Ghana, deelar-
ed that the first responsibility of
his new country lis to aid this
momentous movement towards
freedom and self-government
which is now sweeping across
the whole of the African contin-
emit"
The African leaders announce
ment was made at a brilliant
dinner attended by more than
1000 of the city's outstanding
business, civic and political lead
ers. The dinner, held in the
grand ballroom of the Waldorf
Astoria on July 20, was jointly
sponsored by the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People, the National Ur-
ban League and the American
Committee on Africa.
introduced by United Nations
Under Secretary Ralph J. Bum
che as scholar, author, liberator,
statesman astute politician,
too, DR.. Nkrumah warned that
the peoples of Africa, as indeed
the peoples of Asia, will not put
up any longer with Imperialism
and any notion of racial super
iority and eolonialism.'
Freedom for All Africa
The independence of Ghana,
he said, Cannot be regarded as
complete So long as large parts
of Africa continue to remain un-
der colonial rule, and SO long as
peoples of our continent are sep
arated by artificial boundries
imposed by the colonial powers.
Our attitude towards the rest of
Africa now under colonial rule
is governed by our intensely hui
man concern for our brothers who
are still not free and indepen-
dent citizens"
Recalling student days in the
United States, DIR. Nkrumah told
of his early interest in the MA
CP and the Urban League, two
organizations which he said,
have always typified to me all
that is best and enduring in A
merican Committee on Africa, he
asserted, bears good testimony
to the growing interest which
many Americans in all walks of
life are taking in Africa and its
many problems.
Welcomed by wilkins
Welcoming the African leader
on behalf of the NAACP, Execu-
tive Secretary Roy Wilkins ex-
pressed the hope that "this de-
votion of Americans of all races
and religions and colors to free

Governor Gordon: l am hap

want to start working as soon
as possible. l get along in
my schoolwork. but the idea
Of six more years of study
makes me sick. I'm also
looking forward TO getting
around the world a bit by
service in the Navy.
My parents get the wrong
idea of what it's all about
from Ron. The boy genius
claims that in the world Of
tomorrow everyone will need
a college education.
Mr.. l.. I've have tried
our best to prevent Ed from
having a sense of inferiority
because of his brothers abili-
ties. One of Eds teachers
told us when he was in the
second grade that he is an
able. intelligent boy. but
could never measure UP to
Ron mentally.
We know that Ed could
get through college as an
average student without diff
flculty. Young fellows with
much less ability than he
has go into the professions
these days. There is no rea-
son why Ed shouldn't do 1t
too. He has the foolish idea
that If he can't measure up
to Ron there is no sense in
his being a college man.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
In the old large families
where numbers of different
abilities and qualities Of
workmanship were randomly
distributed among the off,
spring, it was probably easier
for the children to accept
this variety as the spice Of
life.
In a small family, however.
two boys as close in age as
Ron and Ed are likely to
have a fairly strong effect
upon one another-especially
when one has outstanding
abilities. Since the brothers
have thus far been confined
to a life in which school and
grades are the core. Ed has
simply had to accept the fact
that he is q less potent in
dividual than his brother.
The L. It's shouldn't OPP
pose their boy in any of his
reasonable plans for the fu-
ture. They should merely try
to get him to keep his mind
open to the fact that he is
still very young to make dras-
tic decisions. He may very
well decide that he wants
that college education after
his Navy service or after
some work experience.
