Among them was a statement by
President Kwame Nkrumah Of
Ghana.
On the same day that the resolu-
ton was adopted, the Ghana Presi-
dent said: Africa wants neither a
cold war nor a hot war waged on
its continent, neither does it want
a civil war between Katanga and
the Central Government of Congo
Unless this matter in the Congo is
handled with great care and wis
dom, it can trigger-off a world
war"
The entire and complete with
drawal of all Belgian troops from
every part of the Congo Republic,
including Katanga, is essential for
the peace and security of the world
For the sake of Africa, for the
sake of humanity, we pray that
common sense may prevail, and
that all those who have so readily
offered assistance to this new AZ
rican Republic will give that help
Internationally and with no other
motive than that of establishing
peace, security and stability in the
Congo" concluded the Ghana Pres
ident.
Medical Aid From Israel
Israel notified the UN that it
was urgently dispatching to the

ice" The team included surgeons,

MINNEAPOLIS CITY
COUNCIL RESCINDS
BUILDING PERMIT

The Minneapolis city council
July %, unanimously reScind-
ed a building permit granted
June "a, to allow the conStruc-
ton of a gas service station at
the northeast corner of 46th
st. and Fourth Av. S.
Council action followed a strong
protest by citizens in the vicinity
of the proposed station who labeled
the project a safety hazard to
children in the area, "a danger to
the rest home across the street
and financial loss to homeowners
in the area"
Decision to rescind the action
was reached at a city council eau
cas- held July %, where Alderman
Earl Johnson of the 18th ward, in
whose ward the station was to be
built, urged the resembling because
of neighborhood protest.
johnson has been under fire
because residents adjacent to the
corner were not notified Of the
roads and bridges meeting at
which the permit was approved
for council action.
At Fridays council meeting he
used a blackboard to diagram the
location and the surrounding sec
ton including Field School and the
Angelus Rest Home. Johnson
claimed letters notifying the i'm
mediate residents had been sent
to the wrong persons.
He also stated his failure to at
tend the Monday, July 70, meeting
of the roads and bridges commit
tee was due to two reasons. One
was that he was in court (he's an
attorney and the other was that
some protestants over the matter
had suggested he not attend.
After his explanation Johnson
moved that the council rescind its
action of June "a, granting a per-
nit. His motion was seconded by
Alderman Byron Nelson, Twelfth
Ward, and Alderman H. P. Christ
nn.or 80 tbo G;x,tb Mod
Christensen said he hoped the
council action would not set a
precedent. Alderman George John
son of the Eighth Ward reported,
I'VE are resembling some action
almost every meeting. There are
no perfect situations and when we
make a mistake our duty is to
rescind prior actions regardless of
so-called precedents."
The motion to rescind passed
without a dissenting vote.
In the audience in the council
chambers were some of the resi-
dents who participated in the
neighborhood activity which work.

ellis original approval Of the serv-

party planks, we are aware that
platforms in the past have been
only mechanisms to appeal to a
wide public so that the candidates
can campaign on them" said Ran
dolph.
AT this point" asserted the
labor leader, 1T does not appear
to us that either party can deliver
on civil rights as stated in their
platforms
The urgency for both parties
endorsing a strong civil rights pro-
gram is unequivocably dictated by
international and national devel-
opments of great magnitude, Ran
dolph observed.
In terms Of substance there Is
no basic difference in either plank,
he told newsmen.
Roy Wilkins, NAACP executive
director, Wednesday termed the
COP civil rights plank as better
than the one of 1856, but not as
strong as the Democratic plank.
Noting the Democratic plank is
stronger and more comprehensive
and does not shrink from the
touchy topics of FEPC Wilkins
said:
Even more significant than the
differences between the Repubh-
can and Democratic planks this
year are the areas of agreement"
He said both parties have put
themselves on record as favoring
the elimination Of segregation and
other forms Of discrimination from
all areas Of community and ma
tonal life.

voter, will be conducted for all
citizens, Charles Johnson, voter
registration chairman for the local
branch, told this newspaper. Our
effort is to remind all people OF
their responsibility to vote. This is
the only weapon available to all
people, Negro and white alike, to
push aside the threats against
liberty and freedom for all men, "
said johnson.
Leonard Carter, regional secre-
tary for the NAACP, commended
the Minneapolis branch for its for
ward-looking approach to voter
education. I'VE are fortunate in
the State of Minnesota to have
the right to vote but if many
Of us fail to exercise this right
we are essentially no better off
than the southerner who is de-
MED that right" said Carter.
The Fourth Region secretary
pointed out that while the Min
neapOlis branch's registration
program was directed toward
all citizens, IL II was successful
in gaining the registration and
vote Of IS percent Of the Negro
population alone, IL will have
performed q great service to the
community.
The apathy of the Negro voter
is much too great" said Carter
who indicated that in many legis-
lative districts, especially the 2Sth,
30th, 33rd and 35th districts, the
Negro vote could very we'll be the
controlling f~Gtor in any state
election.

tney Will come 10 us. ana II they
come to us, or even write to us
individually, we will welcome
them"
This statement was made during
a press conference at the United
Nations following a conference be-
tween the Congo Prime Minister
and U.N. Secretary-General Dag
Hammarskjold.
VIII Release Report
Lumumba would not reveal the
conclusions reached in the confer
ence but assured members of the
press that a complete report would
be released.
For 50-minutes the Prime Min
lister told of the treatment the
people of the Congo had been re-
ceiving at the hands of the Bel
gians. They have been called all
kinds of names by the Belgiums
such as apes, ruffians and scound-
rels. They have been accused of
raping white women, but not a
single culprit has been arrested,
although the Belgians dominate
everything. They have taken over
the administration of the country,
the police force, the army-absol-
utely everything is 100 per cent
represented by the Belgians.
He pointed out that the Congol-
csc are people of integrity. They do
not believe in violence. They have
lived for 80 years in sincere friend
ship with Belgians when the Bel
gians came to the Congo they were
welcomed as friends. Even those
who live in the Congo today have
no occasion to complain of the
behavior of the Africans toward
them. The Congolese people do not
want the expulsion OF Europeans
or the appropriation of their prop
erty. They only want to run their
own affairs and build their father
land in friendship and cooperation
with the Belgians.
"Congolese people have no hat
red for the white man; they are
only struggling against injustice,
unjustified domination and want
onness," said the Prime Minister.
He pointed out that the Congolese
Government signed a treaty with
Belgium but that two or three days
later, Belgium had violated it by
sending occupation troops into the
country on the flimsy pretext of
protecting Belgian citizens.
Thanks Security Council
Premier Lumumba thanked the
UN Security Council for unani-
mously voting for the withdrawal
of Belgian troops from the Congo.
His chief purpose of visiting this
country was to explain effectively
to the UN the cause Of the events
in the Congo and to request its
support in having Belgian troops
withdrawn from the territory Sim
mediately."
In reply to a reporters question
on a deadline for the withdrawal,
the Prime Minister replied, "If
they would leave tomorrow that
would be fine; but II they leave to-
day, that would be better"
The resolution to withdraw the
Belgian troops from the Congo was
presented to the United Nations on
July IA by representatives Of Cey-
lon and Tunisia. It was adopted
unanimously one week later.
Many comments have been dir
ected to the UN by heads of other
states regarding this situation.
