Rhodesia Urge Africans To Vote

Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia,
Oct. Is - The exuberant strains
Of "Skokiaan," popular African
song, were played on tape to the
swaying passengers packed in an
African bus driving into the city.
Over the loundspeakers came
the call: Attention, please, Claim
your vote now"
This was part Of q new Govern
ment campaign to persuade Afri-
cans to register in time for the
next election The same exhor-
tation came over the public address
systems in beerhalls and at other
centers in the African townships.
The slogan "Claim your vote
now and have q share in your fu-
ture" has been appearing in COM
mercial radio announcements and
in advertisements in European anil
African newspapers. The drive is
aimed at persuading the tens of
thousands Of "lost" European and
African voters to register before
the delimitation commission sits
at the end Of the year.

1t is estimated that at least
10000 Africans eligible for the
vote on the qualified franchise
have not registered. More than
10000 Europeans also have MT
registered.
Thirteen new registering officers
have started work, many at tenn
porary offices in the African town.
ships.
The Government is spending
several thousand pounds on the
campaign. It is estimated official
ly that just over 10000 Europeans
and 1900 Africans have registered.
ut is the duty Of the Govern
ment to try to get as many people
to register as possible" Sir Ed
gar Whitehead, the Prime Minis
ter, said recently in Parliament.
The authorities, however, are OPP
posed by the African nationalists,
who refuse to help in the registra-
ton drive.
1--WE are against the qualified
franchise in Southern Rhodesia
and therefore we will take no
part in any voters drive or any
election until universal franchise
is introduced" said Morton Mali
anga, vice president of the Nation
al Democratic party.
The qualifications that Mr.. Mali
anga opposes include a considera-
BILE income or possession Of prop
erty.
There is a limited registration of
persons with lower qualifications,
but it stops when their number
is equal to 20 per cent of the
total number of other registered
voters.
Southern Rhodesia's Parliament
will be enlarged to fifty members
next year. Sir Edgar has said that
if enough Africans register as
voters at least three and possibly
four African members could be
elected.

ment observed that Congolese crit
icism Of the United Nations oper-
alton centered on the organiza-
TONS inherent neutrality" First
Patrice Lumumba, then Col. JOS
eph D. Mobutu demanded in vain
support for their particular OBJ
jectives, the officials recalled.
Noise Tshombe's complaint in Ka-
tanga was basically the same, in
the officials opinion.
The possibility that Premier
Khrushchev's attacks against Sec
rotary General Dag Hammarskjold
might have contributed to the
breakdown was discussed at the
! Department. Officials thought the
Premier's words might have en-
couraged Mr.. Lumumba's friends
and Colonel Modulus foes. But
they found no evidence that Mr.
Hammarskjold's direction Of the
Congo operation had been inhibited
State Department officials would
not predict the return to power
Of Mr.. Lumumba or the return to
Leopoldville of the Soviet and
Czechoslovak diplomatic and tech
nical aid missions that were or.
dered out by Colonel Mobuku.
But they rated these high on the
list Of possibilities.
To reclaim the Premiership Mr.
Lumumba must risk arrest by the
factions Of the army opposed to
him, officials said. A warrant fol
his arrest is still in force.
The officials were surprised by
assurances by Ghanian and some
other African diplomats that if re.
turned to power Mr.. Lumumbs
would not necessarily pursue a pro-
Soviet course.
Part Of the Soviet and Czech
missions are in Accra, capital Of
Ghana, waiting for q chance ia
return to Leopoldville. But the
top Communist officials have re.
turned to Moscow and Prague.
Other possibilities discussed at
the State Department were:
Lieut.. Col. Louis Boboso, com.
mander Of the Thysville armored
brigade, might take over from
Colonel Mobutu or strengthen his
hand. One Of the few things known
here about Colonel Boboso is that
he has q reputation as a strong
military commander who has
maintained military discipline and
civil order in the Thysville area.
The commissioners installed by
Colonel Mobutu, who are the near
est thing to an operating Govern.
ment in the Congo, might thus
gain effectiveness.
President Joseph Kasavubu
might again take q hand. Although
he is the one leader with an un.
disputed authority, he has chosen
to withdraw to semi-inactivity.
Some officials believe that
President Kasavubu might issue a
call to reconvene Parliament un.
der the protection Of the United
Nations and seek parliamentary
backing for a new Government.
Others fear that Mr.. Lumumba
the most persuasive Congolese
leader, would win the backing Of

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Out in North Jackson,
some of the neighbors are COM
planning about three sisters who
wake up early every morning and
start one of the loud laffing con-
versations dealing with every
body's business and mostly about
what they heard. When l heard
about the neighbors' complaint l
had the greatest sympathy for
their predicament because I've
heard it said that there is nothing
in the world like a crew of long
tongued gossipy women when it
comes to wrecking the peace and
friendliness of neighborhood. /
thought of it as l washed down my
hot fried catfish and a bottle of
cold Beer and my mind went over
the song they used to sing here
a while back about "Your Feets
Too Big" Not only did l think
about the three bigmouthed sis
tiers who wake up early in the
morning and starts that long
tongued gossip in North Jackson,
but / also thought about what
folks say about those women who
get on the buses every morning and
start running off at-the-m mouth
which is just as bad, if not worse
that that gossipy crew whose main
design is to wreck the peace of
the neighborhood by doing with
the mouth and tongue what would
otherwise be impossible. The more
l thought, the more | was convinc-
ed that the women with big feet,
don't need to worry much about
that song "Your Feets Too Big"
because there are a lot of things
that can hide big feet. But since
the beginning of time folks have
been searching for but they never
have been able to find anything
worse than a lone-tongued big
mouthed woman. Don't let them
put you in that class sister, anc
whenever you start talking about
something that you really don't
know nothing about, look down at
your feet. If your feet are too
big that's all right, but nobody in
the world cares anything about
a long-tongued big mouth woman.

however, and to oppose all
