q Belgian liberal and Catholic. He
became q primary school head
master, then worked for sixteen
years in the finance department
Of the Belgian Administration, and
by 1854 was the president Of Alb
alo, the Bakongo tribal associa-

Of Dendale, an African commune
Of Leopoldville. and established the
ascendancy Of Abako over the
workers Of the capital, although It

ritorieA
His tribal nationalism has been
the cause Of far graver violence
than the centralising notions Of his
rival But Kasavubu is a quieter
and more stolid figure than Lum-
umba- He has q solemn manner
(he becomes slyly amusing only on
a closer acquaintance) and he lacks
Lumumba's versatility. There is
little need for him to build him
self up into an all-Congo public
figure. His own objective, a Congo
Federation, will be better achieved
by electoral alliances than by ma
tional stumping.
UP to the last moment before
independence, it was assumed that
the Congo's main hazard would be
Kasavubu's campaign for Bakongo
autonomy. But the general mutiny
of the Force Publique and the rapid
move by Moishe Tshombe Of Kat
anga to take advantage Of it have
intervened. When the aircraft con-
tanning the Prime Minister and the
President appeared over Katanga,
Tshombe did not allow his electoral
ally Of last month to land.
LImumba and KaSavubu reluc-
family agreed to serve in office
jointly in order to attain independ-
ence on June 80 with a reasonably
stable Government. Now they are
working together to stave off the
disaster which both of them fear
above all: a collapse Of the whole
State, leading to a return of colon
ialism.

-
In 1858, Lumumba set up the
Movement National Congolais, the
first real nationalist party in the
country, which draws its support
from areas all over the Congo,
including a powerful minority In
the Katanga. He led it with deter
mination, and handled his allies
with skill. But 1t was Kasavubu's
"Abaloo" party, which was respon-
able for the furious Leopoldville
riots in January, 1859, and for
shaking the Belgian Government
into awareness that paternahsm
had failed.
A few days before, Lumumba
had addressed a spectacular mass
meeting on his return from the
first AI-African Peoples Confer
ence in Accrs: by the end Of the
year he was once more In prison
after riots in his home town of
StanleyviIle. Two months later, he
was taken straight from prison to
the conference table In Brussels,
where in February he and the Bel
gians came to a highly optimistic
understanding on future independ-
ence. For q time it was q relation
ship of real warmth on both sides
the Belgian Governor-General
startled Leopoldville by kissing the
hand Of Mrs. Lumumba in public
but it lasted only a few months.
After Independence, there was
an angry breach between Lumum-
ba and the Belgian Administration
on the eve Of the first national
elections The Belgians gambled on
his defeat, but he emerged as the
leader of the largest group in the
Assembly, and his installation as
Prime Minister was inevitable.
Swept along by the tide Of disaster,
he now has little more control
over events than any other man.
But he still retains mastery over
his Cabinet, and fights obstinately
for his principles of unity.
Joseph Kasavubu accepted the
post of President of the Republic
and through the last weeks which
have threatened the Congo's very
existence he has worked Loyalty
with Lumumba. But the test of his
loyalty will come when the Con-
golese Government faces up to the
Katanga's defiant secession, for
Kasavubu is himself an enemy Of
centraised government. At the
elections, he and the Katanga lead
er Moishe Tshombe were in open
alliance.
Kasavubu is the grandson Of a
Chinese labourer and a Bakongo
woman. At nearly fifty, he Is a

looking man with a squealxy voice
and thick glasses, and it is hard

followers kiss his feet in homage.
This, however, is the 'Roi Kasa,"
the uncrowned king Of his people
who has dreamed of reconstituting
the ancient BalSongo State at the
mouth Of the Congo, and of win
ming back for it old frontiers now
submerged by Angola and the
French Congo Republic. In prac-
tice, his immediate ideas seem to
demand a loosely federal State on
the Nigerian model.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BEETLE BAILEY
MUTT AND JEFF
BUCK ROGERS
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: wonder if you
can tell me the spelling, origin
and meaning of a word that I
have been using for almost so
years. The word is "fiesty" or
"fighsty" or some other SPELL
ing.
To me its meaning is some
what similar to that of the new
word "spunky"-but not quite
and SO not at all the same. I
think of a "feisty" little man,
a "f1esty" little boy, a "feisty"
little dog (rat terrier, for ex-
ample), as one who is rather
small in a wiry sort of way and
exhibiting good natured,
"snappy" antagonism with a
lot of nervous energy. The word
brings a strong picture to my
mind, but I've never heard any,
one else use it, nor have I ever
seen it in print. 1 spent a few
years in Tennessee in my early
childhood.-Mrs. Robert Pfan-
ner, San Diego.
Answer: Were you to return
to the hill country of Tennes-
see, I'm sure that even today
you would hear your favorite
word. You might also encoun-
ter it--as I first did-in Mis-
souri, or in many other parts
Of the Midwest and South.
Your definition is quite a good
one and your spelling is one of
many variations recorded by
students Of American dialect
terms.
My good friend, Harold
Wentworth, whose American
Dialect Dictionary IT. Y. Crow
ell, N. " is one of the land
marks Of this country's Ian
guage research, lists seven pos
sible spellings: "Ficety." {"
''feisty," "f1sty," "fysty," {"
~flesty," "feesty and "fausty." {"
Originally the word came from
"fice," small, snappy dog or,
as one Eastern Tennessean
wrote in 1902: "A feist is one O.
them little bitty dogs that gin
orally runs on three legs and
pfetends whole lot"
The same Tennessean also
defined the adjective "feisty"

fidgety, playful and stubborn.

is there way to end the annual highway slaughter,
which in 1859 killed about 38 900 persons, injured
more than million, and cost the country an esti-
mated SIS billion?
Safety authorities periodically issue pleas for safe
driving. But fear that no matter how many warm
ings are issued, our annual road carnage will
tinue Much more needs to be done.
Certainly of the pressing needs is drastic
overhaul of our driver-licensing methods.
An essential part of this driUer-teaing overhaul
Oud be to protest the psychological attitudes Of every
neto dnuer
How good are our driver-fesss?
Today anyone who memories certain traffic laws
of the state in which he resides, and can manage
during road test usually gets license. ought
to add that in many of testing applicants just
parrot some key laws without really knowing the
rules of the road And often time limitations do not
permit real test of driving skill
But New York University's Center for Safety
Education and other research groups have found
that the big danger lies in this fact Thousands of
people who haze passed their drivers tests may be
psychological time-bombs on the road
Ii is recognized by most safety authorities that the
underlying cause of most highway accidents is in
Evening star., 1960-03-06
Who's driving
you or your
emotions?
An
ourh you

the psychology of the driver, not in bad weather
in the condition of the road.
IF a driver is impulsive, aggressive, easily dis
racted in his everyday behavior, he headed straight
for trouble when he gets behind the wheel. These
trouble-making traits have been discovered in many
hundreds of accidentrepeaters.
All of us, of course, accdent-prone at times -
when we are disturbed, worried anxious. For
Evening star., 1960-03-06

example, if a man who has just had fight with his
wife is following slow truck up blind hill, the
nagging, persistent honking of driver behind him
may trigger reaction and all too often the
reaction is to pass the truck the hill without
thinking about the consequences. | urge every
reader to watch for such emotional upsets and try
not to drive during them.
But my proposal for licensing is aimed at the frac
ton - perhaps four or five out of hundred - who
are seriously and persistently disturbed. For their
own safety and ours, these people should be kept off
the highway. If we do this, think we can make an
important dent in our accident toll.
Needed: an '0ffsvde" test
How will attitude-testing screen dangerous indi-
viduals from the road? As see it, each new driver
who applies for drivers license will some day -
and l hope soon be given attitude test. In
addition, provision will be made to re.test drivers
attitudes periodically.
To give THIS WEEK readers an idea of what such
test might be like, have drawn up some sample
questions. They will give you new view of your
self as driver. But remember, this is just sample
test. 1t is not conclusive. 1t is designed merely to
give you an idea of the type of questions that might
be asked on fuscale driver attitude test.
