Saturday Review Editor
Predicts Election Of Nom
White President In US.

Los Angeles (ANP) - The new
ly-appointed editor of the Satur-
day Review has predicted that
"one day we will obviously elect a
president who is non-white."
Richard L. Tobin, speaking at
the third 1861 Book and Author
luncheon said that "up until 1860
the tradition in this country was
that the office of President would
be filled by a white Protestant but
fortunately this was broken last
year"
Tobin, author Of Decisions of
Destiny" which was recently re-
leased by the World Publishing
company, said over the years it
will become possible for men Of all
races and creeds, and colors, too,
to become president.
He said, The tradition Is widen
ing which is fortunate for us, for
1t provides a far greater field from
which to draw talent"

Mau atrocities. Mr.. Mboya argued
that this was impossible since the
Mau Mau uprisings took place a
year after Mr.. Kenyatta went to
Jail.
Income Gap Cited
Mr.. Mboya lashed out at efforts
of outsiders" to choose the Of
ficials of new African nations, say
ing this had happened in the Con-
go and was a new form of col
onialism." He declared: when we
are independent we will choose
who is to be Prime Minister"
The nationalists' insistence on
the return of Mr.. Kenyatta fol-
lowed a victory for his Kenya
African National Union (KANU)
at the polls in February.
In reply to charges that native
self-rule will lead to economic
chaos in Kenya, Mr.. Mboya asked:
Chaos for whom? What would
we lose?" Per capita income for
whites in Kenya is L1,0OO a year
and for blacks L32. I'VE would
rather destroy the present and
start building afresh," he declared
adding, There is a future for
Kenya but it is going to come out
of Africans"
On the Congo question, Mr..
Mboya said he gave his complete
support to the eight-point program
recently laid before the United
Nations by Ghana's President,
Kwame Nkrumah.
Another African Freedom Day
participant, Kenneth Kaunda, pres
ident of the United National In
dependence Party, Northern Rhod-
esia, urged that the Congo not be-
come a setback for the African
independence movement in general.
This years Freedom Day - the
third celebrated here since the
Accra, Ghana, proclamation in
April, 1858, took on a definite
atmosphere of struggle rather
than celebration.

Here's Novel Way To
Simplify Wedding Gifts

Tokyo, Japan (ANP) - Amer
ican visitors here last week noted
a new idea in wedding gifts for
bride-to-be, aimed at solving the
problem of unsuitable, or duplica-
ton of presents. Developed by a
Tokyo department store the bride
to-be registers there, and friends,
instead of making their own selec-
tions, just deposit the money they
had planned to spend.
Then, ten days before the we'd
ding, the store shows the bride
and bridegroom a list of the gift
givers and the total amount they
had deposited. Then the happy
couple selects the presents they
really want.

S~~~NASSAHs
Mr.. Mboya, in the United States
for African Freedom Day rallies
in Washington and New York
spoke at a press conference spon-
sored by the American Committee
on Africa.
Praising the United States for
its United Nations votes on An
gola and Southwest Africa but
censuring it for withholding econ
omic sanctions against South AZ
rica, Mr.. Mboya declared: I'VE are
not quite convinced that the new
administration here will behave
very differently than its predeces-
sor."
Williams Not a Policy
He said that his first impres-
sion of Assistant Secretary OF
State G. Mennen Williams had
been very good but that Mr.. Will
liams lis not policy"
The soft-spoken, smooth-tongued
African nationalist leader gave
these sharp warnings:
If Britain persists in maintain.
ing economic ties with South AZ,
rica, the sub-Sahara Africans may
call on Asians to withdraw from
the Commonwealth.
Africans consider the American
Negro question part of our OWL
struggle"
If American policy is based or
gaining prestige in Africa rather
than in doing what is right, ther
I'VE are not interested.
Kenya desires to form an East
Africa confederation with a free
Tanganyika, Somalia, and North.
ern Rhodesia, but this will be diff.
ficult unless their timetables fol
independence are somewhat the
same.
Mr.. Mboya blamed both the
British and the Americans for the
present Kenya deadlock centerine
around the possible leadership OF
Mr. Kenyatta, held captive by the
British since 1852 in a remote part
of Kenya.
1T is not for the American
press, the British press, or the
British propaganda machine to say
who will lead u.s." he declared.
A recent personal visit to Mr.
Kenyatta, Mr.. Mboya declared, en-
abled him to say with authority
that rumors that Mr.. Kenyatta Il
an alcoholic, senile, and tribalistiC
are unfounded.
II can say categorcally that hC
is fit, vigorous, and well informed,
he said Of the would be first ma
tionalist Prime Minister of Kenya
In his statement here, Mr.. Mboya
made the flat charge that witnes
ses in the Kenyatta trial in 1876;
had been bribed. He named thu
name of Rawson Macharia as one
who had been given special priv
ileges for testifying that Mr.. Ken

Whoever planned the "bussing"

If there was to be kissing, all
of the players should have been
welcomed in the same manner
Better still, stop the kissing until

Government to recognize the

Sen. Lester Bronson has re- ceived word from Washington that Russian Mission will have a post office. This area of Alaska has had extremely poor service due to scattered population and the people living there have had to travel as far as 50 miles to get their parcel post.
 Sen. Bronson feels gratified that his efforts in the behalf of the people of Russian Mission have borne fruit. Tt is a small step toward development there, but every little bit helps,' he said.
