dent Of the African National
Congress in Nyasaland, warned
British authorities that nation
alism was on the march in the
area and arresting him would
not stop 1t.
Whether / am dead, alive or
in Jail. Nyasaland is awake" he
told reporters.
There has been no move to
arrest the 54-year-old African
leader.
DIR. Banda disclaims any re-
sponsibility for the recent riots
but insists that Nyasaland. with
only 5000 whites against 3 NIL
lion Africans, must become In
dependent and eventually fed
crate with neighboring Kenya
and Tanganyike. also under
British rule now.
Appeals TO Britain
Another nationalist leader,
Joshua Nkomo, called on Brit
ain to scrap the Federation
and grant self-government to
Nyasaland and Northern Rho
desia.
Mr.. Nkomo. president Of
Southern Rhodesia'S African
National Congress. spoke at, a
news conference in Cairo,
where he went last month to
attend the Asian African
Youth Conference.
Northern Rhodesia has been
relatively quiet compared to It's
two sister territories in the
Federation but Friday night it
was the whites there who did
the demonstrating.
A crowd of settlers protested
a visit by British Parliament
Member John Stonehouse. They
were stopped by police at Ndola
Airport.
John Roberts, leader of the
United Federal Party in North
ern Rhodesia, telegraphed Brit
ish Labor Party Leader Hugh
Gaitskell and asked him to ST.
lence Mr.. StonehouSe.
Mr.. Stonehouse denied he
was. trying to stir up trouble in
the Federation and said his
whole point was to preach
racial friendship"
Lord Malvern, elder states
man of the Central African
Federation after % years as
Prime Minister of Southern
RhodesIa, said: 1T (the cur
rent unrest) will all be over
in about three weeks. There is
nothing to get the filters
about"
He declared that if Africans
kept their temperS, both whites
and blacks would make a sue
cess of partnership. He added
! he was not against meeting
force with force.
1T is no good bothering
about world opinion" Lord
Malvern asserted. THE great
majorlt of Africans still have
barbaric tendencies. They throw
rocks about, regardless of the
consequences"
/ Meanwhile, in Leopoldville.
Belgian Congo, a 48-hour strike
of LOO bus workers ended.
The workers were awarded
wage increases ranging from
500 francs $50 a month to
/ 500 francs $500.

Rescue workers dug frantic

other possible victims but po-
lice said later all the missing
had been accounted for.
One of the first persons to
reach the smashed arena said
the scene looked like a white
tomb" The collapsed roof COW
cred the entire ice surface.
Dives to Safety
One 1O-year-old boy who
escaped injuries said he dived
for the 3-foot-high boards
bordering the ice when he saw
the roof give. Others were
trapped along the boards. some
with their hands pinned along
the top edge.

Coach in Hospital
The only other adult in the

The manager Of the arena.
Percy Knoblaugh, said he was
standing at the entrance when
the walls buckled. Then the
roof crashed.
Police said it was difficult to
determine just who was in the
arena when the roof fell. Twen-
ty-two boys coats were found
in the cloak room near the en-
trance. Police were conducting
a door to-door check to deter
mine just who may have been

% (AP) .-Britain's Central
African Federation was out
wardly calm today but white
settlers anxiously prepared for
any new outbreak Of African
nationalist fervor.
The general feeling here
among the whites, vastly out
numbered by Negro national
lists clamoring for independ-
ence was that trouble was a
definite possibility during the
week end. Many whites were
keeping to their homes.
In neighboring Southern
Rhodesia, the Federation's self
governing territory, pamphlets
were distributed calling for a
general strike on Monday to
protest the detention of 435
African nationalist by the
white dominated government
Southern Rhodesia remained
under a state Of emergency.
Four Africans in the capital
of Salisbury were arrested for
distributing the pamphlets to
African households. The leaf
lets. in English and African
dialects. said: IF anyone is
found going TO work Monday
1t will mean death to him."
Warns Africans
A government statement said
it was "a serious offenSe to
4! cause alarm and dependency
among the inhabitants" and
warned that Africans could be
jailed for six months. 1t added
that they would come under
the law "forbidding production
of such matter"
Southern Rhodesia is linked

Senator johnson, in one
passing reference to the recent
attack on his leadership by
Democratic Senator Proxmire
of Wisconsin. said he welcomed
discussion, debate, dissension
and disagreement as the right
and strength Of free men,"
"This is in the Democratic
tradition" he said. 1T is in

Workers i'll Michigan have data
which indicate that the failure OF

Of corn sllage over grass sllage
was because Of high grain feeding
levels. Since in the Michigan work

Corn silage as the only forage
