Africans Hosted In Frisco

] ton by Supervisor Alfonso Zirpo1i,,
co-vice chairman for the Mayors
Committee A response was made
j by FL Mehdi Ben Aloud, Ambas-
sador to the United States from
Morocco and Mrs. Tanim0W0 Ogun-
lesi, Chairman of the Council of
Nigerian Women's Societies. Thurs
day evening delegates dined in
private homes and were guests at
a public reception in Oakland,
sponsored by Trans-Bay Federal
northern California'S largest Ne
gro business enterprise.
Friday was International Friend
ship Day and included a luncheon
meeting which was addressed by
William Randolph Hearst Jr. and
Bob Considine. In the evening, the
farewell banquet, moderated by
Supervisor Harold S. Dobbs, who
was a co-vice chairman for AFRI-
CA WEEK. A number of Africans
expressed their appreciation and
their approval of the activities in
which they had participated. After
the banquet, Jaja Wachuku, Min
lister of Foreign Affairs and Com
monwealth Relations for the Re-
public of Nigeria, delivered the
principle address at a civic meet
ing held in Grace Cathedral. He
said the Africans 'need to learn
from the United States in the field
of technology" however. Il be-
lieve there is a lot the United
States could learn from the cult
ure of the Africans.
He encourages American Negroes
to study the history of Africa so
that they could be proud of their
African heritage-"it it is useless to
try to excape the fact that we are
one people"
Saturday was San Francisco Bay
Area Day, and a fitting climax
to AFRICA WEEK was a luncheon
in the Redwood Grove of Mont
LaSalle Noviatiate and Vineyards
of The Christian Brothers, third
largest teaching order in the Cath
Olic Church. On hand for the 0c-
casion was national representative
of Christian Brothers Winery, JO-
seph Makel, who came out from
New York to assist with arrange
ments. The Christian Brothers
have over sixty-five schools in
Africa, and several visiting Afri-
cans were graduates of their
schools. The profit from sales of
Christian Brothers wines goes to
the support of the orders schools
on the west coast.
The weeks forum for interna-
tional friendship was saddened with
the announced death of the United
Nations Secretary-General, Dag
Hammarskjold. The delegates ex-
pressed their regret at his passing,
and they participated in a memo
rial service to his memory. E..
M. Debrah, counsellerS of Ghana,
proposed that a monument be
raised in memory of Dag Ham,
marskjold and commemorating the
first AFRICA WEEK IN SAN
FRANCISCO.

A major perSOn-tO-perSOn project
was completed successfully as de-
legates from twenty-four African
nations returned to diplomatic
posts in the east or to their own
countries with better understand
ing of America and its people,
after participating in AFRICA
WEEK IN SAN FRANCISCO. The
occasion, under the direction of
l.. Jack Block, Chairman of the
Mayors Committee. say more
more than two hundred leading
citizens of San Francisco, repre-
Senting a cross section of the rae
ial and religious segments of the
City, working together to bring
greater awareneSS to the west
coast and to the nation of the i'm
portance of the continent of Afri-
ca. Among the highlights of the
week-long events in San Francis
co, birthplace of the United Ma
tionS, was an address by the Hon
orable Jaja Wachuku, Nigeria's
Minister of Foreign Affairs and
Commonwealth Relations, who call
ed the participation by the twenty
million Americans of African des-
cent in the mainstreams of Ameri-
can life," a base for continued
good relations between Africa and
the United States.
The purposes of AFRICA WEEK
IN SAN FRANCISCO were to pay
tribute to those forces of freedom
and Individual initiative which
brought Africans to the realiza-
tion of their independence, to seek
means by which trade expansion
and investment capital could
strengthen the power of free peo-
pie, and to provide forums for
leadership to express its convic-
ton on the aspirations and the
destiny of the African nations.
AFRICA WEEK IN SAN FRAN
CISCO was the first such project
by an American city and, as one
top ranking visitor stated, 1T was
the first time that we have met
person-to-person without all of the
official pOmp and ceremony that
so often does not allow us to just
meet man-to-man." Essentially,
the purpose of the week was sum-
med up in its theme, which was
''for understanding Africa.
AFRICA WEEK officially OPEN
ed Sunday, September 18th, with
1.-The Mayors Day." A sermon was
delivered at the famed Grace Ca
thedral by the Honorable E. M.
Debrah, Counsellor of the En-
basSy of Ghana, Washington, D.
c., Later in the day, San Francis
co.'s Mayor, George Christopher,
welcomed each delegate to the
City in ceremonies in City Hall.
Over three hundred of the city's
leading citizens massed to well
come delegates who descended the
Rotunda stairs between members
of United States Marine Corps
Honor Guard, as each nation which
was represented was called.
The dignitaries were guests at
dinners in private homes and were
invited to a United Negro College

EDITORIAL
MORE THAN AN ADMINISTRATOR NEEDED.

THE POSITION OF Administrator for St. Croix, while
attracting many applicants, must be changed considerably
in content and effectiveness. The very title Of the position is
unattractive,' and the description Of the duties, if they were
written out, wpuld tend to discourage rather than attract any
but job seekers.
H ORGANIC Act was revised this paper
took the position that the titular head of St. Crox should be
high in the Governors cabinet, coming right after the Gov
ernor and the Government Secretary. He should be an off
.cial who is in intimate touch with all the functions of the en-
tire Government, and be in a position to have his voice heard
in the councils of the government.
AT THE TIN HEN the title was changed from
Lieutenant Governor to Administrator the idea evidently
was that St. Crox was an outpost; that all that was necessary
was a sort of glorifed c%are-taker, looking after things, and
keeping shop until the Governor came around. The very idea
is unfortunate, and is unfair not only to St. Croix, but to the
very structure of government here as a whole.
IT is HI CONTENTION in this corner that the head
Of St. Croix should have responsibility Of every sort; that he
should be consulted; that he should be called upon to share
in the total responsibility, and that he be in the thick of
things. Unless this is done, then the position can easily des-
cend into an office with a desk where some retired politician
can carry on, without having to worry too much about what
is taking place around him. This being the case, few men
who want to make a real contribution would apply.
WE HOPE TIA the Governor will not hasten to fill
the position Just for the sake of filling it. He should wait,
even if it requires some time. During this wait an under
standing could be had with the incumbent, who seemed to
have carried on satisfactorily. The time could be used to re-
writel and reanign the position, and at the same time avoid
any embarrassment for the applicant who is appointed

sentatives for nearly 20 years.
In the House he fought for all the ideals he had
espoused during the heartbreak years President,
and won victories against patronage and for roads,
education, science, Naval Academy and strong
Federal Government. He became one of the nations
most fiery opponents of slave power. He died in his
seat in Congress, still fighting, at 80.
President Kennedy says, 81 salute John Quincy
Adams rs one of the most courageous of our
Presidents because he knew that he had lost the
campaign of 1928 in the first few months of his

political appointments. But he never once backed

the Navy's 40 wooden ships we're scattered over the
seven seas The seeded states had already occupied
all U.S. Army and Navy bases in their territory and
only two = Fort Pickens in Pensacola, Fla, and
Fort Sumter in Charleston, sc. - were holding
out The first decision Lincoln had to make when
he took office whether or not to provision the
Fort Sumter garrison, whose food supplies were
dwindling. (''I hope | never have to make such
decisiOn,'' Mr.. Kennedy told me.)
The newly-elected President Lincoln waited
month before he took any action because he wanted
to exhaust every possibility of keeping Virginia, the
richest and most powerful of the Southern states,
with strong antsecessionist sentiment in the Union.
He took calculated risk in doing because, in the
interim, many of the best officers in the us. Army
went over to the Confederacy. Also, Lincoln had to
fight off hare-brained schemes in his own cabinet,
one of which, proposed by Secretary of State
Seward, was that the President should deliberately
pick fight with the worlds great powers, France,
Spain, England and Russia, in order to reunite the
North and South in war of conquest In the
extraordinary document in which he proposed this
plan, Seward also suggested that Lincoln appoint

against Spain) there more insults and outcries
against the United States getting involved with
ex-slaves who had overthrown their masters and
with such new nations as the Negro Republic of
Haiti. Again, Randolph led the diatribe and, as
President Kennedy told me, 'n what is perhaps the
most memorable and malignant sentence in the
history of personal abuse, Randolph denounced the
aged mother of Secretary of State Clay for bringing
into the world this being brilliant yet SO corrupt,
which, like rotten mackerel by moonlight, shines
and stinks.'"
After this attack on himself and the President,
Clay challenged Randolph to duel and scored what
should have been mortal wound. Randolph, how
ever, had wrapped yards of flannel around his body
beneath his and the shot only pierced the flannel
In the face of such opposition - which, says
President Kennedy, makes my problems with Con-
gress pale into insign6cance" Adams persevered.
He was friendIess; he had no party behind him, and
he steadfastly refused to give out Federal jobs as
patronage. His theory was to strengthen the Federal
Government beyond the dreams of Alexander Ham,
ilton and he continued to appoint men for their
ability and not their party afiation. He wanted to
build roads and canals to unite the country so it
would not fly apart in sectional civil wars. But his
administration ended after one term as it began -
in total Illustration.
In defeat, however, John Quincy Adams showed
more courage than other Presidents have in victory.

in 1928, Adams ran for Congress and represented

patched an expedition of relief ships to attempt to
remove the Fort Sumter garrison, headed by Major
Robert Anderson. The President realized that this
would cause the Confederate batteries to open fire
but he felt there was no other honorable decision
he could make.
At 4:3O on the morning of April IL, 1861, when
Anderson refused to evacuate the fort, the Confed
crate batteries fired the first shots of the War
Between the States. By nine o'clock the next
morning, Fort Sumter's barracks were reduced to
fame and ashes, the battlements and Notifications
were crumblng, the American flag had been shot
away. Early that afternoon, Major Anderson sur

In Washington, Abraham Lincoln set about
making the initial decisions of his Administration,
decisions which eventually were to win the war.
He decided on policy of blockade and strangula-
ton of the Confederacy; from the group of untried
generals available to him he presently chose the
34year-old George B. Mcclellan, who, though he
was stubborn and recaIcitrant and won no brilliant
victories, whipped the amateurish Army of the
Potomac into skilled fighting force.
When the President was urged to discipline
Mcclellan after the General had insulted him,
Lincoln said, ''I will hold Mcclellan s horse if he will
only bring us success
In those first few months of his administration,
Lincoln suffered many other insults, taunts and
setbacks. He was sniped at by his own party,
impeded by the apathy of powerful interests, en-
barrassed by the excessive zeal of some of his
rabid supporters.
Through all those crisis-ridden months and years
Lincoln held steadfastly to great goal preser-
vation of the Union. And the Union was preserved.
