BIG Bill Corners Signed AS Professional

this boy catch the pigskin for four
years, and he's beautiful to watch.
Remember the passes against Prai-

will agree that this Big Boy can
make the grade, apparently so do
the Rams, for they sent their
personal manager to Jackson Sat
urday to sign their choice to Ram
contract.
1t is reported that Big Bill put
his John Henry on the line for
around $4,000 and a nice bonus
in addition.

pound boy who played everywhere

Tense was drafted by the Chicago
Bears on the seventeenth round.
Neal is called by his coach, "Big
John Merritt" to be the best foot
ball player he's seen in fifteen
years. He does everything you'd
expect a football player to do ex-
ceptionally well. His tackling is
sure and fundamentally good as he
can get good shoulder into ball
carrier. His height is a tremen-
dous asset to his pass defense,
while his quickness and speed en-
ables him to recover on any mis-
takes defensively.
The Advocate wishes to express
congratulations to these young men
who have splendid character, as
well as great athletic ability. We
too congratulate the Coaches of
the Tigers, who must feel proud
and confident that what they're
teaching is sound, and that their
philosophy of the sport is In Keep
ing With Big-Time Football.
President Reddix should be hon
ored, for it is he who picked these
coaches, and we hear is like a
father to them in supporting their
program which is, In Keeping With
The Objective And Philosophy of

of the world. Two international
influences contributed to the riots
that broke cut in Leopoldville JAN

One was the Pan-African Lib
Grafton Movement, which brought
nationalist delegates from all over
the continent to Accra, Ghana, last
month for the All-African Peoples
conference. The other was the
Western worlds economic recess
sion last year, which caused unem-
ployment in the African shanty-
towns around Leopoldville.
Thus far communism has no
political foothold in black Africa,
although the Africans threaten to
turn to the Kremlin for support
if the colonial powers refuse to
grant independence. No seriously
effective Communist parties have
taken hold among the Africans, al
though there are Communists in
African political life.
The Soviet effort has been pri-
marily diplomatic, cultural and

Lord After
Second Crash


Apparently Roy Campanella's luck
is on the upswing. He came out
of his second automobile smash
up here in less than a year with
out a scratch.
On Jan. %, 1853, Campy, the
former Los Angeles Dodger great,
was paralyzed from the waist
down, after suffering injuries in
an automobile accident.
On Monday, Roy was being driv-
en- from Manhattan, where he had
made a broadcast to his home here
when an air compressor tied to
a trailer on a truck travelling to-
ward the city broke loose.
The trailer bounded across the
divider on the road and knocked
down a light pole, glanced off an
other vehicle and then bounced in
to Campy's car.
The three time "Most Valuable
Player" award winners mother-in-
law Mrs. Fanny McNelly, "a, was
treated for minor head injuries
and released.

seated in the back with Mrs. Nc
Nelly, suffered cut on the face

Two of the team are Episcopal

Stories OF Poverty Told
On their tour, they surveyed
hospitals, participated in confer
ences with government and health
leaders, and conducted or gave
devotions, sermons, and religious
lectures to SO audiences totaling
10000 people in 27 countries.
Each speaker told a story of
appalling poverty and ignorance
throughout the world which made
a lasting impression on them.
o. X. Bozeman, Jr., a Baton
Rouge, La, civil engineer who is
a partner or officer in five family
corporations, told the institute that
a tour he made of overseas mis-
sions changed his life.
Everywhere l went" Mr.. Boze-
man said, 81 saw preachers, but
l didn't see any businessmen, any
laymen. saw many a preacher
trying to build a church who did
not know the first thing about con-
struction. l got to thinking, Isn't
there some room for laymen in the
mission field?"
He wrote to the Southern Bap-
fist Foreign Missions Board, offer
ing his services as an engineer in
overseas missions. The offer was
accepted and he was appointed to
serve in Korea.
He and his wife are now study
ing the Korean language at Yale
University in preparation for a
five-year tour of service in Korea.
He said he and his wife prayed
much over the decision to give up
his secular business to work in
behalf of religion. And, he ad-
mitted, the decision did not come
easy.

Council.
The Kremlin has appealed to
the instructive neutralism of the
newly Independent nations, which
are eager for economic as well as
political independence. Soviet of
ficials have used Cairo as a plat
form from which to offer sweep
ing easy trade and aid terms to
all of Africa.
. These offers have been addressed
primarily to Africa's nine indie
pendent Negro and Arab nations,
seven of which became fully indie
pendent in this decade, and the
native governments of the terri
tories scheduled to become indie
pndent next year.
Independent Nations
The older nations are Ethiopia
and Liberia. Those that became
fully sovereign in the present dec
ade are Egypt, Libya, the Sudan,
Morocco, Tunisia, Ghana and
Guinea. Nigeria, Somalia, the
Cameroons and French Togoland
are to become independent in 1860.
Diplomacy and aid are more likely
to win over these governments than
subversion.
But the colonies and territories
ruled by the Western powers
against the desires of politically
articulate indigenous elements can
be won better by revolution than
diplomacy.
Grass-roots communism could
creep into the Congo, or Kenya
or Nyasaland, to lead an anti
white revolt if concessions are not
made at a pace that will satisfy
the Africans. Going too slowly
may be dangerous.
Going too fast also presents
risks, to the territory seeking in
Independence as well as to the colon
iial power in position to grant
lit. The British withdrawal from
Sudan left an aftermath of po-
litical instability. Frances sudden
acquiescence to Guinea's demand
for independence created serious
economic uncertainty as well as
administrative difficulties there.

timing was manifest in its admis-
sion that the Congolese agitation
was a result in part of the fact
that there had been no statement

The proportions are not very

whole. There is an estimated total
of 2OO,OOO,OOO Africans, of whom
only about 100000 are whites.
The worst danger areas are in
South and East Africa, where the
