The 39-year-old clergyman, who
is pastor of the Concord Baptist
Church, 1913 Marcy Avenue, Brook
Ign, has been mentioned as a pos
sible successor to the Rev. DR.. John
M. Coleman as member of the
Board of Education.
Referring in his acceptance
speech to his Baptist background,
DR.. Taylor said that, while the
council basically involved "partici-
patton in majority action" never
theless ga decent regard for mi
nority opinions among us is the
basis of the Protestant genius, re-
CARELESS of it's expression"
Calling himself "the first black
man" to head the council, DR..
Taylor asserted that the darker
peoples in Asia and Africa" would
be convinced not by material aid
alone but by the "honest, basic as
sessment of human equality and
dignity we communicate to them,
and which they see reflected in our
American society"
New Building. Is Cited
At the session, the Rev. David
w. Barry, chairman of the coun-
ciPs church planning and research
department, said that Professionals
had committed "at least $13,0OO,-
900 in new building and programs
since March 1856"
At that time comparative, five
year program was adopted, calling
for a $27,00O,00O expansion pro-
gram in ten critical neighborhoods.
Mid-Century Press awards were
given to executives of each of the
city's daily newspapers and press

run too far in advance of white
public opinion.
Ironically, although Mr.. Todd's
liberalism apparently has been ad-
judged too extreme by the majority
OF his white party members, it is q
liberalism which has never appear.
ed in African eyes other than a lib
eralism of the most moderate kind.
This is not to say that Africans
have not regarded Mr.. Todd as one
of their brightest hopes among
white political leaders for hasten
ing their own nonwhite advance
ment. But at times even Mr.. Todd
proposals have Jagged far behind
the demands which many Africans
in the Rhodesian Federation have
lately been making.
Thus, British central Africa has
been brought to a period of some
upheaval and political confusion.
The appointment of Sir Edgar
Enthusiastically the Rhode
sian Federation Minister in Wash
ington-to succeed Mr.. Todd as
new Prime Minister of Southern
Rhodesia is unlikely TO settle the
dispute for some while.
There is keen interest in the
Rhodesian Federation because
with its stated policy of racial part
nership between whites and Afri-
cans, it is steering something of q
middle course between the Negro
nationalism of Ghana and other en-
crying African states and the white
nationalism existent here in the
Union of South Africa.
The South African press is inter
preting Mr.. Todd's fall as a set
back to liberalism and the pro-
government Cape Town newspaper
"Die Burger" forecast Feb. 10 that
the ex-missionary's deposal will
hold up the granting of independ-
ent dominion status to the Rho
desian Federation by the British
Government.
There seems little doubt, how
ever, that Mr.. Todd's critics had
their position strengthened by the
British Governments approval re-

Left and Right, are to be rejected
in favor of a purely African solu-
! ton.
"Take back your civilization: we
don't want it. We will drive all
the white men into TIE sea-" That
cry, heard at some Congress raj
lies, summarizes the outlook of
the "Afrikanist" bloc.
A major weakness of the Con-
gress is the continual pickering
among the three groups. For weeks
recently it was debated whether
demonstrations should be held at
the time of the white elections
April 16. The demonstrations are
now scheduled to begin about
March Is, but probably those who
opposed demonstrations will not
take part
The great problem of the Con-
gress is the lack of national self
! consciousness among the bulk of
the 100000 Africans. Even in the
cities, they tend to think of them
selves first as Zulus or Xhosas and
to carry on their tribal rivalries.
Membership Unknown
Where the Africans find COM
mon cause, it is usually on a spe-
cific issue, such as the fare in
crease that touched off the bus
boycott last year. The boycott was
begun by leaders who arose for the
occasion; only later did the Con-
gress join the movement and at
tempt to guide it.
In the rural areas and reserves,
the influence of the Congress is
felt even less. When women protest
against carrying passbooks here, or
a tribe refuses to move from it's
traditional ground there, the Con-
gress takes no discernibly active
part.
The numerical strength of the
Congress can only be guessed at.
This may be partly because of fear
Of the police. TIE Congress has not
been officially suppressed, but it
yet may be, if number of its lead
! ers are convicted of treason. In that
event it would undoubtedly carry
on in secret.
At an estimate, the active men,
bers of the African Congress prob
ably do not exceed 5000 and 5000.
However its organizers report
steady growth in TIE number of its
sympathizers within the last two
to three years, and especially in
the last year.
In the opinion of neutral observ-
ers here, if this active handful can
ever command the undivided allie
glance of the African three-fourtts
of the population, South Africa will
indeed face a time of troubles. But
that day seems still far off.

Divided Into Groups
The African Congress is still
partly amorphous. Various lead

each other for the first time when
they were brought into court last
year on high treason charges.
