our children were unwilling to leave for school;

The children found her when they came home

purring, and halfasleep, her kittens asleep beside
her in a warm little nest of love and peace. When
the children leaned over her, she opened her eyes
wide to warn them to be quiet, and gave each
kitten quick little lick to point out how beauti-

IN ALARIES:
We all know that the salaries for minor positions in
and out of our Government are very low. Cost of living in
crease and the workers scarcely receive enough pay for
subsistence. I believe that we must do something for them.
HIGHWAYS AND STREETS:
IN spite Of the assignment Of money by our Leglsla-
tlre for our Streets and roads we still have some in very
bad shape. Some Of our streets and roads are impassables
and every day they 60 from bad to worse. It is my belief
that with a little care and inspection this situation could
be remedied and it is my belief that the Commissioner of
Public Works and his assistants are doing pretty good, and
] hone that this year they do much more in our street and
road.
EDUCATION:
WE need a Vocational School where our young peo-
pie could learn arts and trade for their economical living
in the future. What we have now is inadequate. Let us do
~omethng for this growing generation.
The health Of a community is very important for its
progress. Our hospitals are inadequate. We need more
doctors and nurses to attend the sick people. In our last
Croix was discussed. We must continue talking about It
until it becomes reality.
It has come to my knowledge that many persons who
go with some illness to our hospital are not treated polite

Byrd Identified
AsEx-K|eagIe

NEW YORK, April 81 (AP) ..
Senator Robert C. Byrd, West
Virginia Democrat who is spear
heading a campaign for SEN
ator Humphrey of Minnesota
in the West Virginia primary
May 10, was identified today
by the New York Herald
Tribune as a former kleagle
in the Ku Klux Klan.
The article quoted a letter
it said Senator Byrd wrote in
1916 to DR.. Samuel Green of
Atlanta. imperial grand wizard
Of the Klan, reading, in part:
"The Klan is needed today
as never before and I am anx-
ious to see its rebirth here in
West Virginia.
1T is necessary that the or
der be promoted Immediately
and in every State in the
Union"
The letter also recommended
a friend as kleagle, or organ
izer, of the Klan in West
Virginia.
The article said Senat tor

and again this week in Charles
ton, w. Va, and quoted the

was no longer active at the
time. So I wrote the imperial
wizard. DR.. Samuel Green, in
Atlanta and recommended the
man as a kleagle. I shouldn't
have done it."
Asked in the 1858 interview
why he joined the Klan, the
Senator replied: THE Klan
was fighting communism"
In this weeks interview the
article said, Senator Byrd, a
Baptist, was asked whether he
would vote for a Catholic as
President. Senator Kennedy is
a Catholic. Senator Byrd was
Quilted as saying:
That is a matter which every
individual, Catholics and Prot
estant, will have to settle in his
own conscience. A lot depends
on the particular individual
who happens to be the candi-
date. Age has something to do
with it, experience and per-
sonal background"

Ruling Reversed,
Court Reinstutes
Jack Indictment

NEW YORK, April 81 (AP)
The Appellate Division OF
the State Supreme Court today
reinstated an indictment
charging Hulan E. Jack, Man.
haitian borough president, with
conspiracy and the acceptance
of gratuities in violation of the
city charter.
The decision was unanimous
by the five-judge tribunal.
Mr.. Jack was indicted or
charges of accepting illegal
gratuities from Sidney j
Ungar. real estate operator
who had dealings with the
city.
The action reversed a pre-
vious decision by General
Sessions Judge Gerald P
Culkin. who dismissed the in
dictment on grounds it was
drawn improperly. He said it
failed to clearly explain the
charge that the borough presi-
dent knew Mr.. Ungar had
business dealings with the
city.
Judge Culkin also held that
the charges were joined i'm
properly in a single indictment,

nationalism. a fighter for in

was still a school boy, and the

nah on his career by inviting
him to come back to Ghana as
general secretary of the pol
itical party of which Mr. Dam
quah was president.
So much for fair play IN
| Ghana's brave new world.
Powers Grows
AS President. Mr.. Nkrumah
has even more power than he
did as Prime Minister. The
President is elected by the
majority party in Parliament,
serves five-year terms (there is
no limit as to number of
terms), is commander of the
armed forces. controls the civic
service, can appoint judges.
may veto legislation as a whole
or in part, and can dissolve
Parliament.
AS in Communist countries,
the party has become more i'm
portant than the institutions of
government, and the two are
so intimately associated as to
| be virtually synonymous terms.
AS an example. whenever
Mr.. Nkrumah leaves his off,
cial residence at Flagstaff
House the first car in his
motorcade invariably IS not a
government vehicle but a CPP
sound truck brightly painted
in the party colors.
Mr.. Nkrumah gave official
recognition to this ambivalence
last year when he stated, at
the opening of the CPP's
S2S0,000 national headquarters
building in Accra, that the
! government was merely the
agent Of" his party, which he
described as the living en-
bodiment Of the whole glory OF
our people and the moral
mainstay of our lives"
That pretty well established
the fact that any opposition to
him or to his regime was to be
considered as not only un-
patriotic but as seditious and
immoral. Since Mr.. Nkrumah
is life chairman of the CPP,
: 1t also indicated that he re-
> CARDS the presidency of the re-
. public as his personal property
Such effective opposition to
Mr.. Nkrumah as there may be

lCPP. At the moment, although
there is some disagreement
with specific points in "the
Savior's" policies, there are
none within the CPP who want
to oppose Nkrumah or would
dare to do so.
Army's Attitude
In a situation such as this,
the attitude of the army is al
ways important. 1t is ironic
that the $50 British officers
and rs non-commissioned off,
GERS who share the 5,000-man
army's leadership with 100
Ghanaian officers are the prin-
cipal prop Of what is essential
