conference, the Centrafrican Re
public's Interior Minister Mamadu
Bandio, suggested Portuguese
Angola as a future partner also.
At best, therefore, the Abidjan
conference might well prove the
basis for a loose confederation OF
states covering an area nearly
twice the size of the United States
Cor three times the size Of India
and PalSistan together) and en-
comprising about 70 million peo-
pie.
This initial meeting dealt large
ly with inter-African political
problems. A second meeting, to
which Malagasy President Phil-
bert Tsiranana and Togolese Prem
Ter sylvanus olympic are expected
to attend, will be he'd in Brazza-
vile in mid-December, to discuss
the economic aspects OF the unions,
And still a third parIey is
scheduled for YaOunde, early In
1861 to discuss "harmOniZatiOn
Of constitutions"
Actually, a political confedera-
ton is not anticipated, but the
common thought among all partic-
ipants in the conference is that
confederative cooperation at other
levels will be easier If all the
partners have the same, or almost
the same form of constitution.

Minnesota Votes
Dimmed Miss. Hope
For Influence

Jackson, Miss. CAMP - For a
while early Wednesday morning,
it appeared as though Mississippi
with its eight unpledged electors
was in position to name the next
President Of the United States and
thus dictate on what terms it would
trade its votes.
But the dream faded when
California and Minnesota came
through with enough electoral
votes to put over John Kennedy
who had wavered for hours on
the brink of the presidency.
But in those few tense hours,
Gov. Ross Barnett, a staunch, I'M
yielding segregationist, must have
entertained hopes of hearing the
phone ring and Kennedy saying,
Listen, Ross, I need those eight
votes of Mississippi to get into
the Whlte House ana I'm ready 10
talk turkey"
It's easy to imagine what Barn.
EFT might have said. 20. K, the
votes are yours, but first I want
to name the attorney general, a
couple Of cabinet members and sew
eral Supreme Court justices"
And if Kennedy had hesitated,
Barnett might have prodded him
with, Listen, I'm a busy man. Ny
other phone is ringing. I believe
it's Nixon wanting the same thing
you do"
But alas, it never happened
Mississippis unpledged electors
now are worth about as much as a
Nixon campaign button.

Another Look At
KennedY'S Victory
CONTINUED From Page ID

CONTINUED From rage IL
IT,, when he was jailed last
month.
While Kennedy's intercession
embittered some whites, it strong
" influenced the Negro vote in the
senator's favor and swung over to
the opposing column some COP
voters who noted Nixon's silence.
Strong civil rights pledges by
both parties at their conventions
earlier in the year forced a shift
to other matters to determine sup
port since their was little choice
between the two.
There was also a strong belief
that Henry Cabot Lodge hurt
Nixons cause among Southern
whites when he promised that
Negro would be given a cabinet
post, without attracting any new
Negro support.
In an election post norton, the
day after, the Chicago Tribune
quoted the defeated Nixon as say
ing that he believed the "blocs" in
the large Northern cities had much
to do with his loss.
Morton Admits Negro the
Difference
While Nixon refused to identify
the blocs, COP national chairman
Thruston Morton was more spec
iric and declared that the Negro
vote had defeated Nixon. Morton
said Nixon captured only 10 or IL
percent of the Negro vote, whereas
Eisenhower had been able to at.
tract 26 percent.
Kennedy strategists confirmed
this by pointing out that they be-
lieved Nixon's major political
bIunder was in woOing the South
ern vote while ignoring the Negro
vote in the big Northern cities.
They also said they thought that
If Nixon had been more vigorous in
his denuciation of religious big
otry, he might have attracted more
votes from Negroes who as a per-
secuted minority would have inter-
preted this as sympathy for their
cause
johnson Not A Factor In Negro
Vote?
Oddly enough, Lyndon B. john
son, Texas running mate Of Ken
nedy, proved not to be a factor in
Negro voting. The Nixon strate-
gists had assumed that Johnsons
southern background would have
been sufficient to at least hold
the Negro vote in the Republican
column in the Northern cities.
But this failed to happen. One
reason was that Johnson stayed in
the South where he was known
and was not required to make any
strong civil rights declarations
that would be required of him in
the Northern Negro sectors.
Dixie Claims Credit
Segregationists in the South
were quick to point out that Ken
nedy's slim margin could not be
regarded as a mandate from the
people to carry out the strong civil
rights program advocated by his
party and by him during the cam
paign.
He couldn't have made it with
out u.s." Georgia's Sen. Richard
Russell was quick to point out,
and we think we have earned a
voice in these matters"
Alabama's Gov. John Patterson

ed confident that civil rights pres
sure would be relaxed. "An the
current suits" he said, were in
stituted by the Republicans. I won't
say that the Democrats won't bring
