Gift of Congo to Leopold Controsted
With Africos New Political Power
RALPH McGILL

U. N. Soliloquy: If we wish
a dramatization Of how fast
the power structure of our
world is changing, the illus
tration is available.
Just a little more than 10
years ago no one thought it
at all unusual that the King
of Belgium was given, as a
personal gift, by a commission
which had no authority, title
to almost one-fourth of the
whole continent of Africa.
CThis includes the special
rights given him in 1885,
Leopold II left a reputation
as the most cruel admins
traitor in m modern history.
Vachel Lindsay sang of him:
Listen to the yell of Leo
pold's ghost
Burning in hell for his hand
manned host.
Hear how the demons chuckle
and yell
Cutting his hands of, down
in hell"
Leopold, who grew i'm
mensely wealthy out Of the
Congo. never set foot there.
When he died in 1908, he left
it, as one wills a house and
lot, to Belgium.
Until two years ago this
area, n times as large as
Belgium, was looked upon as
a model, paternalistic colony.
The BelgianS had brought
hospitals, schools and roads.
But almost suddenly, it
crumbled. The intoxicating
force of nationalism was
loose. 1t already had wrought
change in Africa and brougkG
independence to some Colo
nieS of the British. And nGi-
ther guns nor police can keep
a new idea from stealing into
the minds of men.

But Gov. Luther K. Hodges
of North Carolina and Host
Gov. Orval Faubus of Arkansas
said Senator Johnson's name
on the ticket hadn't helped as
much as had been expected.
Gov. Faubus gave the Senate
Majority Leader credit for
helping the ticket a little in the
South. but not as much as ex-
pected."
But Gov. Buford Ellington of
Tennessee, a strong johnson
supporter at the Democratic
National Convention, called
him "a tremendous help" in
his State. Gov. John Patterson
of Alabama echoed his senti-
mentS.
Underwood Optimistic
Gov. Cecil H. Underwood of
West Virginia. lone Republican
at the conference, said he sell
dom heard Senator Johnson's
name mentioned in his State.
Gov. Underwood, who is
running for the Senate, called
West Virginia "a fair battle
ground for both Sides" but he
put it in the Republican COL
umn.
At news conference. he was
asked about the religious issue.
Gov. Underwood said that it
had been discussed quite often,
mostly at Democratic rallies"
Now If they (the Demo-
crats) want to take it ut of
the campaign, they should stop
bringing it up"
Gov. Underwood was optimis-
tic about his party's chances in
the south and in border States.

On Queen at Sea

CHERBOURG. France, Sept.
rs (AP).-A small fire aboard
the liner Queen Elizabeth was
reported when she arrived here
from New York today.
The fire. which broke out
while the ship was at sea yes
terday afternoon, occurred in
an electrical installation room.
1t was quickly extinguished
without the passengers becom-
ing alarmed.

are naive. They get wrapped
up in big words and "dialec-
tics" They worry about re
vision" of ideologies, while
all the time Khrushchev is
conducting a diverSionary
tactic to cover up his failure
to get better housing, better
wages and better living for
the 200 million people he is
supposed to rule.
Russians are a patriotic
people. So it is important for
Nikita Khrushchev to keep
Russian patriotism heated up
to crisis temperatures all the
time. Just as the Berlin
crisis and the U-2 crisis
seemed to be dissolving in
recent months. the Soviet
Premier deliberately ordered
the RB-47 to be fired upon
even though it was flying
over the open seas. But since
the American aircraft was
close to Soviet shores, this
afforded an opportunity for
Nikita Khrushchev to show
his vigilance in defending the
homeland against surprise
attack"
Just as soon as the RB-47
incident seem d to have
yielded about as much mile
age as possible for propa-
ganda purposes. it was time
to invent another crisis. So
first came a deliberate inter-
vention in the Congo and
then a decision to assail the
United Nations itself. Hav-
ing been defeated 70-to-0
on the resolution that upheld
the Secretary General, the
Soviet Premier now sees an
opportunity to start a whole
new series of arguments
about the Secretary Gen
erals Office and to create an
even bigger sensation in the
press for his own country as
the man who dictates how
the U. N. shall be run.
What can be done with
such a man who knows
neither manners nor ethics,
nor morality nor integrity,
and who nevertheless says he
speaks for 200 million peo-
pie inside the Soviet Union
as well as many millions
more in the countries now
dominated by communism?
There is only one course
open. 1t is to direct all ener-
gies toward the people behind
the Iron Curtain. BY one
means or another, the truth
must be gotten to them. Also.

From 10 years ago until the
13 African nations were ad-
mitted to U.N. membership
with Nigeria scheduled for
admission in October, is but a
brief span of years. AS his
tory measures it, it is but a
pulse beat in time. There are
thousands of persons still liv-
ing who remember the Sun
= day supplement stories of
Leopold and the Congo.
But one wonders if the
meaning of it is plain. 1t
means, among other things,
that the second world war
was the last one to be fought
on a plan of the European
power system.
Both Russia and the United
States are aware that the
United Nations balance of
power will now be held by
the heutralist nations of Asia
and Africa.
The cold war, both know,
cannot be won in Europe. It
can only be won in Africa and
Asia. And the new nations
will be acting through their
own governments, and in con-
cert with others in the U. N.
One wonders, too, about
those persons who make up
membership in the Citizens
Councils, the various Klan
groups, and organizations of
similar mentality and blind
ness. One thinks, too, about
the closed minds of isola-
tionists and those who think
bombs and armies are the
whole answer. Were they
reading and looking when
the African nations came
marching in?
A quote attributed to Louis
Armstrong came to mind:

But the Governors couldn t
keep their minds off politics.
While Gov. Ellington gave
Senator Johnson a lot of credit
for Democratic strength in
Tennessee, he said, don't sell
Senator Kennedy him sc If
short"
He said Senator Kennedy, in
his recent swing through
Tennessee, had drawn the
largest crowds since the late
President Franklin D. Roose-
velt.
Farris Bryant, the Democratic
nominee for Governor OF
Florida, said he had thought
Senator johnson would give the
ticket a lift in the South and
that he had mentioned him to
Senator Kennedy at the con-
vention as a possible running
mate because of that.
But it hasn't proved out that
way in Florida, as far as I can
determine" he said.
Mr.. Bryant said he gives Vice
President Nixon the edge now

Deer Teen-Agers: AS far as I'm
concerned, Christmas of the past
few years has emphasized too
much commercialism and not
enough Christ. Too many people
today literally knock themselves
out giving cards and presents to
friends and relatives, not because
they especially want to but be-
cause they feel it's expected of
them. Here's your chance to per-
hapS start a new trend in your
community by seeing to it that
presents are given to others but
in a manner far removed from
commercialiSm.
Your community may already
have a Santa Anonymous" pro
ject and if so, perhaps you as
an individual or your school or
church group may be able to help
in one of several ways. If your
city or town hasn't such a pro-
ject, now'S the time to get one
started under the sponsorship of
your organization in cooperation
with your local weekly newspap-
or.
Santa Anonymous" sees to it
that needy children who still be-
lieve in Santa Claus aren't disap-
pointed on Christmas morning.
However, the project needs COM
plete cooperation of your COM
munity, your newspaper and your
particular group or club.
Some years ago while living
IN a community of 10000 popu-
lation, l attempted this project
and merely by writing several
news stories in the few weeks
prior to Christmas, plus obtaining
names of needy children, I saw
the community respond to such
an extent that $50 needy children
received at least one new Christ
mas present on Christmas o
ing.
The following year more than
800 children awoke on Christmas
morning to find they hadn't been
forgotten and "Santa Anony-
nous" is now an annual project
in that city.
You've certainly got the needy
children in your community, so
the first step is to contact your
Local newspaper and obtain its
cooperation = Pm sure you'll get
1t. Cooperation in this instance
will mean publishing several
Santa Anonymous" stories to
arouse public interest and to
keep the public informed as to
the progress of the project, both
from the standpoint of contribu-
tons of money and names.
By the way, if your newspaper
would rather have your group
write these progress stories and
YOU feel you're not quite able to
get the message across, let me
know and your stories will be
written for you.
You can obtain the names of
needy children in your commu-
nifty by contracting your local well
fare office, veterans organiza-
tons and other clubs. The names
Of many needy children, also can
The Sidney herald., 1960-11-16

be submitted by friends, neigh
oors, relatives and parents of
these children, to your local
newspaper or to whomever you
designate.
Santa Anonymous comes into
the picture in the form of the gen
erous public. The anonymity is
preserved throughout because the
public doesn't know what children
benefit from its generosity and
IN turn, the children only know
their Christmas presents came
from Santa Claus.
The public, men, women and
children, is asked to contribute
a dollar or buy a toy, doll or
game costing no more than a dol
lar. In cases of the presents al
ready being purchased, the TOYS.
games OF dolls should be Gift
wrapped. Somewhere on the wran-
ping or attached to it the donor
should specify game, toy or doll.
une age group the present is in
tended for and whether the Gift
IS Tor a boy or a girl.
You'll find that many of yoq1r
presents will be purchased by old
maids, crusty old bachelors, young
parents whose children aren't in
need, grandparents whose children
nave long since grown up and
people in all other walks of life.
Youth also find fortunate children
Will buy presents for the less for
tunate.
Important to remember is that
no gift should cost more than
Sl.0O and only toys, games or
dolls should be bought.
You'll also find much of the
public will continue dollar bills
and your group will make the
purchases. Most stores, knowing
OF the project, will allow YOU TO
buy ii or II $1.00 gifts for $1,000.
All presents should be in the
homes of these needy children no
Later than Christmas Eve. Your
parents can help by perhaps serv-
ing as chauffers for the delivery
TRIPS. The secret of the success
OF Santa Anonymous" is to keep
the public informed of its prog
1eSs by news stories. If YOU do
this, you'll be pleasantly surpris-
at the happiness your group
can bring to many unknown chill
oren on Christmas morning. Go
to it.

Peterson Chosen
For Senate Seat

MINNEAPOLIS, June 4 (AP)
Mayor P. Kenneth Peterson
of Minneapolis yielded to pres
sure from Republican Strate-
gists today and accepted the
state conventions Endorsement
to run against Senator Hum
phrey, Democrat of Minnesota.
Delegates gave him a tumul-
tuous reception as Mr.. Peterson
emerged on the convention
floor after acceding to the pleas
of party leaders. They sought
to avoid a devisive primary bat
tie between the mayor and
Elmer L. Andersen of st. Paul
for the governor nomination.
Mr.. Andersen, a former State
Senator and st. Paul business
man, was Endorsed by acclama-
ton for governor two hours
earlier. The COP primary thus
becomes a formality and Mr..
Andersen will run against Dem
ocratic Gov. Orville Freeman,
who is seeking an unpre-
cedented fourth term.
Refusal by Mayor Peterson
to run for the Senate could
have left Republicans without
a major candidate to send
against Senator Humphrey, a
powerful campaigner.

Missing Executive
SOUGHT on Mountain

The short, ark-haired man
last was seen Wednesday, when
he telephoned his wife at $3.50
pm. to pick him up at the
office at 5 pm. Co-workers said
he left for an Office in another
part of the building. They
never saw him again.
A friend, Garland Yates,
later reported he had met Mr..
Stringham on a sidewalk in
South Bluefield shortly after
4 pm. AS they neared, Mr..
Yates told police, he said:
Hello, Jack" Mr.. Yates said
he wanted Mr.. Stringham to
stop so they could discuss a
Scouting matter. Mr.. String
ham was leader of a Boy Scout
troop.
HE had his head down and
didn't answer. He walked right

Police, without a clue three
days after Mr.. Stringham dis
appeared from his downtown
Office, feared for his safety.
In a quiet residential neigh
borhood in South Blueield, his
wife sat anxiously at home
with their three children. The
39-year-old engineering grad
uate, according to his boss,
went home promptly at 5
o'clock each day, and he stayed
there unless he had something
to do with his Scout troop"
The best guess seemed to be
that a fall down some steps a
few weeks ago had prompted
an amneSia attack-a memory
lapse-and Mr.. Stringham had
wandered of somewhere in a

tooth Year

CLINTON, Wis, June 4
(AP).-A congregation of up to
1000 persons, led by officials
of American and Swedish Lu-
theranism, will gather in a
rural church yard tomorrow
to mark the centennial of the
Augustana Lutheran Church.
The service will be held
around a monument at the
edge of a cemetery south OF
Clinton near the Illinois-W
consin line.
The monument marks a spot
where 100 years ago tomorrow
40 Scandinavian pastors and
laymen signed a constitution
and formed the Augustana
Church, with 62 congregations
and 5000 members.
The church which opens its
centennial synod in Rock Is
land, ILL.,, Monday night is
now the fifth largest Lutheran
body in North America with
100000 members in 1,248 con-
gregations.
On Wednesday, delegates
will vote on the question OF
whether to merge with three
other Lutheran bodies to form
the Lutheran Church in
America.
A small Norwegian church
which was the setting for for
nation of the Augustana group
has since disappeared from the
community known as Jefferson
Prairie, seven miles east OF
Beloit. A newer church a block
from the original site stands
white against green fields and
pine trees.
The General Synod opening
Monday night will be held at
AuguStana College, organized
at the same time and place as
the church itself. The church
will be the first of four bodies
contemplating merger to put
the question to a synod vote.
The three others groups are
the United Lutheran Church
IN America, American Evan
gelical Lutheran Church and
the Finnish Evangelical Lu-
theran Church. Should all an
prove the proposed constitu-
tlon, the new church would
come into being in 1862 OF
1868. -
