dite defrocked priest married

Chad, which lies to the north,
is the largest. poorest and most
populous Of the four states, a
land of fair-skinned nomads
where 81 per cent of the chill
dren receive no schooling. 1t is
twice the size of France and has
2.6 million people, including a
tribe with the name of Boo
Boos and another which lives in
intricately decorated mud huts.
Although he is not the Pre-
mier, the dominant figure in
Chad is a handsome light
skinned mulatto named Gabriel
Lisette, born, of all places, in
Panama. He came to Chad as
an officer in the French colonial
government and gravitated into
politics. He has served as Pre-
mier and twice turned down the
job to operate behind the
scenes. But there is little that
he can do to alter the fact that
Chad has no exports except
meat and cottonseed, not a foot
of railway. a 100 per cent def
cit and the lowest per capita
income of the four states.

cannibals and a pudgy, balding
Premier named Leon M'Ba. To
prime its economy Gabon has
oil, palm products, timber, dia-
monds. iron. coffee and cocoa.
With a small population, a
stable political situation and al
most untapped natural re-
sources, this muscular midget is
one Of the few African states
which can look forward to a
really bright economic future.
For precisely this reason. Mr..
MBa is staying out of the fed
Grafton, where he would be out
voted politically while being
forced to help pay the bills of
his less fortunate neighbors.
Both because they have prob
lens Of their own and because
they are geographically isolated
and underpopulated, neither
Gabon nor the federation is
destined to play a dramatic role
in African affairs. The feder-
ated states have a long way to
go to catch up educationaily
and economically with the rest
Of Africa. and rich Gabon is not
interested in adventurism.
The one danger facing these
new nations is that the ex-Bel-
gian Congo, despite the United
Nations efforts, will disintegrate
and that the new nations will
be sucked into the resulting
whirlpool.

KITALE, Kenya.-The grant
ing of freedom to the four states
which once constituted French
Equatorial Africa brings to
eight the number of African
territories which have achieved
full independence this month.
1t also rings down the curtain
on Frances role as a Colonial
power in sub-Saharan Africa.
OF the four states of ex-
French Equatorial Africa-Ga-
bon, the Congo Republic (not
to be confused with the former
Belgian dependency of the same
name) the Central African Re-
public and Chad-the last three
have federated to form the
Union Of Central African Re-
publics. Gabon, which is richer
than the other three and has a
separatist tradition parallel to
that Of Katanga in the ex-Bel-
gian Congo, is going it alone.
Throughout the four states,
which have a total area of al
most a million square miles (su-
perimposed on a map Of the
United States, their borders
would stretch from Connecticut
to Idaho and from the Cana
dian border to Texas peopled
by S million Africans and 10000
whites, the evolution of the var
ious tribes is widely variant.
Some ebony women tint their
mouths with the latest shade of
lipstick, while others embellish
them by inserting bone disks:
their menfolk may wear Brooks
Brothers tweeds or sheaths of
grass with equal aplomb.
Able Heads Congo
The richest of the three fed
Grated states is Finland-size
Congo. which has a population
Of 100000 and a colorful char
acter called the Able Fulbert
Youlou as Premier. The Able,
a smoothly plump man who
likes to wear a homburg and a
resplendent sash over his cas-
sock. has been known to bless
the ball-point pens Of primary
students (thuS guaranteeing
them good marks and to dis
tribute largesse to the faithful
from the windows Of his souped-
up Pontiac.
He is not terribly enthusi-
astic about political opposition
and. on at least one occasion,
his police have cleared the floor
Of the National Assembly by
the judicious application Of
tear gas. 1t should be said In
mitigation, however, that the
leader Of the opposition had
been somewhat provocative:
He had belted the Speaker Of
the Assembly over the head
with his own microphone.
At the conclusion of this
donnybrook, the Able COM
mandeered a railway train
which he loaded with his sup
porters and powered his way
through country controlled by
his rivals to his Brazzaville
capital. In the riots which fol-
lowed, police conf1scated three
tons Of spears, knives and other
hardware welded by enthusi-
astic partisans Of both parties.
Since then, life on the north
bank Of the Congo has assumed
an almost boring degree Of
tranquility.
Coffee, timber, tobacco, zinc,
peanuts and palm products
earn SIS million a year for
Youlous republic. but he is pin
ming his long-range economic
hopes on the development Of a
vast, 9-billion kilowatt hydro
electric scheme on the Kouilou

8 Inches of Concrete

A further precaution is de-
signed to protect employees at
such sites against inadvertent-
ly digging into dangerous areas
The most dangerous kinds of
buried waste are not only
dumped into deep holes, but
they're also covered by eight
inches of concrete.
The Acc says it's aim is to
have strict Federal or State
control over such areas for
hundreds of years"
The materials being buried
or to be buried in the future
on land are solid wastes. These
solids. characterized by low or
medium levels of radio-actiyity
consist of such things as con-
tamlnated machine turnings
and equipment, or trash, such
as piece of linoleum that
might become contaminated bv
spilling of hot" substances in
a laboratory.
The most dangerous of all
types of radioactive wastes are
certain liquids which result
chiefly from the chemical proc
essing of reactor products.
These wastes are extremely ra-
dioactive and therefore are
handled by a so-called CON
talnment' method rather than
by actual disposal. They are
stored in huge underground
tanks having capacities of up
to a million gallons or more.
All such tanks are on closely
guarded Acc properties.
Small Amount in Sea

posed by sea burial. ConStitut-
ing only a very small fraction
of 4 per cent Of all the radio

Attempting to reconstruct the
tragedy, state police at the George
town barracks said Mrs. Dukes ap-
parently left the house about noon
and, when far enough away from
the house so the shots would not
be heard, killed the dogs with shots
fired from the pistol
Then, it is believed, she con-
tinued to a wooded section where
her son was working, about 400
yards away and shot and killed
him with one shot from the shot
gun.
After killing Harry, police theor-
lied, the woman then attempted
to kill herself with the gun. How
ever, the blast struck her in the
arm. Then they said, she appar-
emily took the pistol and fired
twice, both bullets striking her in
the chest.
Police said, the couple, had been
dead about an hour before they
were found IL feet from each
other.
Both were pronounced dead by
