OF strengthening our foreign rela-
tions with Africa, according to DR..
Lester Granger, executive secretary
OF the National Urban League and
trustee of the college.

leaders in various facets Of Amer

Africans have Of the American peo-
pie and the results that are being
obtained by good cross section of
American colleges who are offering
training to African students.

every possible facility in order to
step up its performance in Africa
DIR. Granger said, "and in this and
subsequent meetings we. are going
to try and determine what is be-
ing done right and where we are
making mistakes"

grams as being effective methods
of securing the detectives Of our

The general civil rights objec-
tives approved by the convention
recommended (a) passage of new
legislation imposing he maxi
mum punishment under law for
the crime of lynching; (b) En-
actment of legislation giving the
Attorney General power to seek
injunctions and other civil rene
dies for those who are denied rights
guaranteed by the 14th Amend
ment (c) enactment of fair en-
ployment practices law with ade-
quate enforcement powers; and (d)
inclusion of anti-segregation am
endments in all laws providing fed
eral aid for schools, housing, hos
pitfalls, recreation, the aged, or
for any other purpose.
The resolution also urged en-
actment of federal legislation to
outlaw poll tax as a requirement
for voting; ad revision of Senate
Rule % to permit limitation of de-
bate by majority rule; as well as
home rule for the District of Co.
lumbia.
They also called upon the Pres
ident's Committee on Equal En-
ployment Opportunity to reject the
token employment of some few Ne
groes by contractors as constitut-
ing compliance and to take deci-
sive action against those employ
ers who refuse to basically alter
their discriminatory employment
practice and to function as broad
compliance agency.
The NAACP deplored the failure
of the AFL-CIO for the existence
of segregated locals in the affil-
lated unions and among the FEEDER
al locals. The resolutions stated
that the association does not OPP
pose the principle of closed shops
but it opposes closed shops when
they are used to exclude Negroes
or other members of minority
groups.
The resolution also deplored the
continued willingness of the fed
eral government to substitute ra-
cial segregation in housing; and
strongly urged corrective action
Immediately. Finally, the NAACP
dedicated itself to genuinely
democratic multi-racial society in
the United States"
At the closing session of the
convention Sunday, Roy Wilkins,
executive secretary, admitted that
the Sind annual convention, "un-
mistakably demonstrated a spirit
of Impotence with the time-worn
and transparency invalid excuses
for that pace"
THE Association" he said will
attack all barriers intended to de-
plive minority citizens of the en-
ployment to which they are en-
titled. 1t will attack vigorously all
segregated housing policies forced
upon minorities, and the Negro
will use his political strength
against all enemies of their as
rirations, whether they come from
the deep south or from the cool
north"

The the British, who have been
governing Tanganyika sin C e

gized for having exploited their
sensitivity to world public opin-
ion more than once, both at the
United Nations and outside" At
the same time, he praised the
British administration for having
clearly stated the principles and
detectives of the UN trusteeship
to the Tanganyikans down through
the years.
Mr.. Nyerere uttered only one
complaint about coming to nation
hood under UN trusteeship aus
pieces. While the transition is
smoother in Tanganyika than it
was in the Congo or even in Cha
ma or Guinea, his emerging coun-
try is having a more difficult time
in getting economic aid, he report
ed. Money, he declared, does
not go to peaceful countries. 1t
goes to the trouble spots of the
world. We do not indulge in throw
ing stones in Tanganyika, and we
are now paying the price of peace.
"We are finding it extremely
difficult to convince even our
friends that although we are peace
full, we have serious enemies
poverty, ignorance, and disease.
We have declared a war against
these enemies, and in waging that
war we are determined to be
among the most belligerent people
in the world"
From New York, Mr.. Nyerere
will go to Washington to solocit
aid for Tanganyika's three-year
economic plan. He is also looking
for foundation money to launch
the new university at Dar-es-Sa-
laam. A contingent of the new
United States Peace Corps is train
ing now in Texas to go to Tan
ganyika.
AS described to the Trusteeship
Council by John Fletcher-C Cooke,
UN special representative, Tan
ganyika is a poor country, with
no great mineral resources and
much of its land infested by the
tsetse fly or lacking adequate rain
fall.
In addition to a bevy of happy
farewell speeches, the Trustee
ship Council heard details of Tan
ganyika's development plans from
Nsilo Swat, Minister of Commerce
and Industry. 1t also took note of
the advance of Tanganyika's en-
dependence Day" from Dec. 20 to
Dec. 9.
The new country has announced
its intention of applying for MEM
bership in both the British Com
monwealth and the United Nations
as soon as it is independent.
This is Mr.. Nyerere's fifth visit
to the United States. He has been
at the UN three times before to
make what he jokingly referred to
here as "innocuous" proposals for
speeding up his country's independ-
ence. Last year he visited the Unit
ed States under foreign-leader
grant.

these groups often inspire hate,

pointment over the slow progress

The NAACP declared that the
activities and teachings of the sep
aratist programs are not only in
consistent with the aims and philo-
sophy of the Association, but con-
fuse their program with the legi-
innate social and economic prob
lens of the newly emerging Afri-
can nations.
In the same resolution, the MA
ACP condemned the John Birch
society for it's preachments of
white supremacy. This is a dan
gerous ,self-defeating philosophy"
the resolution read. American pa
triotism must be dedicated to the
fullest preservation of our demo-
cratic traditions, to the mainten-
ance of the individual freedom, to
the removal of social and economic
injustices and to the building of a
social order in which racial and
religious differentials will have no
place"
The NAACP expressed gratitude
to the sit-ins and the freedom rid
ers for their insistence on total
freedom for all American citizens.
1t noted that the sit-ins, wade-ins,
kneel-ins and stand-ins are all
indications of the growing impati-
ence of American Negroes and
their allies with the snail-like pace
of degeneration. The NAACP re-
