Bonn Inaugural
To Be Informal

BONN, Germany, Sept. Z
(AP). - Retiring President
Theodore Heuss, no lover OF
pomp, has made a bid for more
informality in the protocol
ridden official society of this
capital. He thinks the Ameri-
can way Of dressing is best.
He slapped down a suggestion
that only full evening dress or
gala uniforms be worn at the
Inauguration reception of his
successor, Heinrich Leubke, who
takes Office September is.
The West German Institute
for mems fashions complained
because the President-elect had
decreed only dark suits for the
reception. The institute claimed
international custom required
tails or uniforms.
Mr.. Heuss, saying he did not
want his successor bothered
with such matters. replied that
he has seldom read such q
silly and arrogant statement"

BATHURST, Gambia.-This
smallest Of Britain's West Afri-
can possessions, a geographer's
Joke, soon must face the choice
between poverty-stricken indie
pendence and the abandonment
Of its political identity.
Gambia. which is consider
ably smaller than Connecticut,
consists Of the two banks Of a
river which flows inland for
more than 800 miles. There are
40 miles Of paved roads but no
railway. At no place is the
country broader than 20 miles.
White men first sailed up the
river more than 500 years ago
and. despite its present pow
erty, the country was a pawn
in international politics for
possession of which nations
went to war. For three CEN
turtles the river-State changed
hands among the Portuguese,
TIE English. the Dutch and the
Baltic powers before Britain
finally stepped in and estab-
lished a permanent colony.

every Gambian has two cousins
In Senegal.
Such a solution is opposed
by most Of Gambia's 200 white
administrators for reasons OF
pride. The politicians are not
enthusiastic because they fear
that their relative Importance
would suffer II Gambia became
part Of a larger state. The
country's 35 chiefs, seven OF
whom are literate, are ada
mainly against Senegambia be-
cause they enjoy considerably
more power and prestige under
the present setup than do
their counterparts In Senegal

SOL by the indigenous Muslin
people Of the interior, take no
Joy in the prospect Of being
assimilated with an Islamic
giant completely lacking in re-
spect for the language, culture
and religion which they hold
so dear. No one knows how
the people of the interior feel
because the franchise has yet
to be extended to them.
What is patiently clear is
that Gambia must associate
herself fairly closely with some
stronger power. be it England,
Sierra Leone or Senegal. Some
way has to be found to give
the Gambia a small slice OF
its cake without suffering the
economic belly-ache which in
dependence will inevitably pro-
duce.

banks a nation and run 1t on

Several alternate sugges.
tons have been made to avoit

independence must be fol
Gambia. One Of these ha.
been federation or indignation
with the neighboring British
colony of Sierra Leone, which
will be getting its independence
about 1862. Twice in the past
for periods of more than 20
years, the two colonies have
been administered as a single
unit.
The Rev. j. c. Faye, a native
Anglican deacon who gave up
missionary work to become a
Gambian cabinet minister,
feels that such a solution
should be "favorably con-
sidered." However, Mr.. Faye's
Democratic Party has little

of the interior get the vote
next year, it is liable to have
even less.

enthusiasm has been evinced
! in either England or Gambia
for such a solution.
1t would be possible. OF
course, for Gambia TO attain
internal autonomy with Britain
remaining in charge Of external
affairs and continuing to pro-
vide development funds. But
events are moving too fast in
Africa for any black politician
to come out In favor Of the
retention Of any form Of colo
nialism.
The last possibility, and one
that recommends itself on
many accounts, is the merger
Of British Gambia and French
Senegal to form a Senegambi-
an state. Such a colony existed
under British protection two
hundred years ago and, as re-
Gently as 1870, Britain consid-
cred giving Gambia to France
in exchange for other West
African territory.

The river Gambia is Sene-
gals natural highway to the

were removed, export crops
from the autonomous French
African republic would flow
down the river to the obvious
benefit of the port Of Bathurst.
There are no ethnic or lin

two countries: the same tribes

DOCTORING

PATIENTS COMPLAINT
Tips work briefly. then backfire
DIAGNOSIS: OVERRIDING q
good thing.
TREATMENT: Noticing a
few days ago that a golfer
friend of mine was cutting
across the ball miserably be-
cause he was letting his right
elbow get out and away from
his body, I urged him to bring
his elbows closer together at
the start of the swing so as
to make it easier to keep the
right elbow tucked in close (see
today's illustration).
He did this. It helped him
a lot.
But the next time saw him
he was bringing his elbows in
so close together at address
that they all but touched each
other. This made for a cramped
and tensed position and an
awkward and ineffective swing.
He was OVERRIDING a good
thing-and turning it into a
fault. .,.-s- ..
do you remember" I asked,
that I said bring the elbows
as close together as you COM
fortably CAM" With that re-
minder, he began to swing
much better.
Remember that the golf
swing must have a naturalness
about it. There is no big Sc
cret about it. So accept and
use good tips-but never overdC
them!
