the equator the climate is wonder
full, the high altitude compensat-
ing during the night and mornings
for the heat of the afternoons.
I like the political atmosphere.
The situation is not tense but
there is an awareness of changes
in the making, and in comparison
with the constant yammering and
bellyaching Of the political pres
sure groups in our country it is
refreshing to listen to political
arguments about the fundamentals
of liberty and human rights.
Visits to local newspaper Of
fices, have been especially inter
esting and Informative. The gov
eminent maintains an office for
official press releases and I came
away from this office with a big
bundle of material covering mat
tiers of both political and econ
omic interest.
Most interesting, however, was
an interview with Tom Myboya,
the leader of the nationalistic
movement in Kenya and prominent
among the leaders Of the nation
alistic movement turnout the con-
tinent.
He did not crowd me for time,
due in part I think to a general
letter Of introduction, that I had
with me from Cecil Newman. He
showed no reluctance about ex-
pressing himself on any Of the
many questions asked him. I will
have much more to say about him
and his views but I have several
more calls to make before start
telling about Kenya and its prob
lens. Incidently Mr.. Myboya is
coming to America for a six weeks
tour in the near future and I am
hopeful that he will visit the Twin
Cities. He did not know what his
schedule would be. Editors Note:
The preliminary release from the
US. State department lists Mime
apolis as one of the cities on his
itinerary.
Today I am meeting with an
official of an organization Of CO.
operatives and out of this I should
get an interesting story. and I am
visiting one more paper published
by an Indian and representative I
suppose of the point of view of
the many people of India who have
settled here.
am not devoting much time
to the study of the flora and the
fauna of the country. People are
more interesting. But have visited
couple of the parks with their
"ferocious" wild animals. An oblig-
ing guide picked a sleepy lion
to permit a fellow passenger to
get a more life-like picture. sus-
pect they are feeding these ami
mails tranquilizers but they do put
on a good show for the excited Wis
itors.
Females, Most Dangerous
From my observation the most
dangerous animals in the area are
the wandering widows and wealthy
retired teachers. The country is
loaded with them. Safan groups
seemed to be composed mainly
with of women, most of them well
advanced in years. One man sched-
uled to join a group that was to
leave by bus for an eight day
trip, discovered that he was the
lone male in a party of Is women.
He cancelled out and when talk
ed to him he had just poured him
self a double Geritol and was head
ing back to Omaha. Stanley made
him a name for himself by coming
to this country in search Of DR.
Livingston, presume. The women
/ are coming to this country to find
Stanley.
! l am spending more time in
Nairobi because I like it here. This
probably will mean less time spent
in North Africa where they tell
me the climate will be much less
comfortable. From here on I will
