stop you from going any farther
in assailing the institution of seq
regation.
Job-hunting, King, who has a
markedly tortured and disordered
face, doubted that the Los Angeles
City School System would accept
him because of his record, with
its entry Of detention in a mental
institution.
He proposed to start a maya
zine, the African-American Report.
He published it spasmodically up
until a few weeks ago. But it
found a cold reception, due to its
vituperative rambling.
In the interim, King got arrest
ed for jay-walking, refused to
sign the complaint, insisted on a
court trial, and subpoenaed every
local citizen who had spoken out
against police brutality, to sup
port his stand.
Judge Subpoenaed
When the case was set, and the
Tribune editor objected that she
had only been subpoenaed to tes-
tify in a matter about which she
had no knowledge, but on press
day, too, she found herself in good
company!
The Judge, Municipal Court
Judge David w. Williams, arch
critic Of the L. A. Police Depart
ment for discriminatory law en-
forcement in gambling arrests, had
been subpoenaed, too.
Everybody got excused, and
King then unleashed his rage
against some of L. AS best known
citizens, calling them "handker-
chief heads" and worse.
Shortly after that, he got play
from Mississippi papers and the
national wire services when he
wrote Holding Carter, Mississippi
{ daily paper publisher, that Los An
geles was a worse cess-pool for
Negroes than Mississippi.
When that sensation died, King
next proposed to Congress that
the United States be divided into
parts, one-tenth Of it for Negroes,
the remainder for white people.
That embarrassed the U. S. con-
siderably when, always alert to
the news value of his ingenuity,
he sent copies of his proposal
abroad to the foreign press.

ed, 81 applied for political asy-
lum."
The authorities suggested that
he return to America"
"This, cannot do voluntarily"
King stated.
So, he left his wife and five
small children in Rosario in order
to come to Mexico to seek a per-
sonal interview with you (the i'm
migration authorities) to plead my
cause directly"
A second letter, a carbon copy
of a communication addressed to
the United States Ambassador at
Mexico was received by the Tri-
bune six days later. It charged
that American authorities in San
Diego have just wired me that
they are holding my family i.
and threaten to send them to Geor-
gia or Mississippi if l do not re-
turn to the United States"
King haughtily said he had just
wired the San Diego authorities to
return my family to Mexico from
where they were forced"
Recounting the refusal of the
Tijuana authorities" to grant him
political asylum for fear Of
offending the American govern
ment," King asked, as there some
general understanding by other ma
tions that the United States will
brook no hindrance of its anti
Negro policy?" He added:
"Since America protests the un-
fair treatment of other govern
ments toward their citizens and
harbors refugees . u. by the thou
sands, it should actually cooperate
with the flight of its own OPP
pressed"
Kings letter to the American
Ambassador claimed that he left
his family ain adequate condition
in Rosario, Mexico, in order to
come to the federal district to
plead my cause directly. And be-
fore l could communicate with my
family, / learn they have been
tricked into returning to America"

Makerere College in Kampala,
Uganda, and the Royal TECHNICAL
College in Nairobi, Kenya.
A third branch would be es-
tablished in Tanganyika, probably
at Morogoro, 115 miles west of
Dares Salaam.
Makerere was established in 1922
and in 1949 began to give courses
leading to degrees awarded by the
University of London. The Uni
versity College of Rhodesia and
Nyasaland has a similar relation
ship with the University of Lon
don.
At present Makerere has 900
students, predominantly African,
drawn from all over East Africa.
1t has a s2,800,000 expansion pro-
gram about to start and expects
to have 1880 students on its 425-
acre campus by 1866.
But its principal, Bernard de
Bunsen, is concerned that there
are only 80 girls in, the student
body.
The Royal Technical College, es-
tablished in 1854, provides voca-
tional, technical and professional
training, particularly in engineer
ing and the sciences, for 800 stu
dents.
1t is proposed that it be great
ly expanded to include faculties of
arts, science, engineering and spe-
cial professional studies such as
business and public administra-
ton and that its name be changed
to the Royal College.
An entirely new college would
be established in Tanganyika. 1t
has been suggested that the new
university's school of law be made
part of the Tanganyika college.
Makerere already has school of
medicine and the Nairobi college
would become the university's en-
cheering center.
One of the most difficult prob
lens to be solved before the new
university is established is that OF
finances. Capital invested in Ma
kerere and the Royal Technical

After spending Is months on the
tiny 2A miles long and one half
mile wide island, he then reported
for duty aboard the USS Shangri-
La (CVA-38), arriving there July
27, 1856. During his 40 months
service in the big carrier, he worked
as reporter for the ships news
paper, the NEW HORIZON, and
later took over as Editor-In-C Chief.
While serving on papers staff in
1857, the NEWS HORIZON won
the Department of Defense Award
for being the best offset military
newspaper in the Navy for that
quarter.
"Red Downs" is presently serving
on his second enlistment which
started Dec. 6, 1857 and plans to
make the Navy a career. In his
four and one half years of service,
| he has written more than 1000
column inches of copy for military
publications an dequally as many
articles for civilian media through
out the country.
Prior to entering the Navy,
Downs attended the Jim Hill High
School Jackson, Miss and worked
as butcher for Jordan's Supper
rett, located at 854 Lynch St.
Downs is married to the former
Miss Essie Mae Baker of Duncan,

Question: In many news

piece of copy. Can you tell us
where this symbol originated?
Answer: There are several
theories. but the best founded
seems to be that the 80" was
simply taken over from the
slang of oldtime telegraph op-
orators who used that symbol
to indicate the end of a days
