NAACP Coming To
Mill City

Minneapolis will play host next week to the
regional Leadership Training Conference of the Ma
tonal Association for the Advancement of Colored
People Present will be national officers of the as
sociation from New York. including Roy Wilkins,
Minnesota reared and educated national executive
head of the NAACP, Leonard Carter, region field
secretary, other NAACP leaders and an estimated
200 delegates from Missouri Kansas, Iowa, Colorado
Minnesota, Nebraska, North and South Dakota.
The NAACP has been the most potent force in
the continued fight for equal rights for Negro
Americans in the United States. It is not as many
think Negro" organization but was founded by
whites and Negroes over so years ago and has con-
tnued to be interracial in membership and direc-
ton.
The organization has long borne the brunt of
the Negroes battles through the framework Of the
American democracy for full opportunity and civil
liberties.
Strangely enough despite its proven worth and
stature, the NAACP the chief battering ram which
has forced gains for equality Of citizenship from the
American states has had less than generous fin
ancal support from the total Negro population.
Whatever the reasons for the penurious participa-
ton of the national Negro community in support
of the NAACP, the organization has done a most
remarkable job for the American Negro and is as
much needed today in America as it has been in the
past.
The Leadership Training sessions which are
held turnout the country invaluable to the al
most completely voluntary and non-paid stats of
the various NAACP branches.
This newspaper welcomes the NAACP meeting
to Minnesota and hopes its sessions will be fruitful

good citizenship medicine for the entire Twin Cities

actions.
Meanwhile, A member Of Nj
geria's Action Group Opposition
party has said that he did not see
any wisdom in what he called the
proposed visits of Sir Abubakar to
the Rhodesias and South Africa.
J. c. Tarka, the Action Group
spokesman, remarked that South
Africa could not be changed by
mere visits Gin the face Of inces-
SAINT world protests against her
policy" He suggested that the
money be used in assisting nation
alist movements in Africa.
Sir Abubakar had told parlia-
ment earlier that he has accepted
Gin principle" an invitation from
Welensky to visit the Rhodesian
Federation. He said he had not re-
ceived an invitation from the South
African government, but added:
IF I am invited, I will consider
it." The Nigerian prime minister
said any visits to these countries
should not be regarded as a change
in his views against policies Of
the countries. my visit to such a
place, If invited" he pointed out,
will help to make the South AZ
rican government change its
apartheid policy; 1t will also enable
me to see things for myself"
In the aftermath Of criticisms
associated with any such visits by
Sir Abubal1ar, the Nigerian gov
eminent quietly reminded observ-
ers that its prime minister played
a leading role in forcing the South
African government out Of the
British Commonwealth :.

esia by flirting with the imper-
ialists." Settlement Of the mis-
understanding in the interest OF
African unity not only makes Nj
geria's position clear, it also puts
a darnper on any significant use Of
the incident by those who might
seek to break down African har-
mony.
Other matters of great concern
to African Nationalist were in
progress in New York, where Ken
meth Kaunda, leader of the United
National Independence Party Of
Northern Rhodesia, was scheduled
to address the United Nations
General Assembly committee Of II
nations dealing with colonial coun-
tries and peoples. Kaunda was
principal speaker at a New York
observance of Africa Freedom Day,
sponsored at Town Hall by the
American Committee on Africa.
Several speakers at the observance
attacked Portuguese policy in AZ
RIGA, asked that United States aid
to Portugal be withdrawn and pre-
dicted difficulties and possible
violence in South Africa.
Oliver Tambo, exiled deputy
president Of the African National
Congress of South Africa, also was
among the group Of speakers
which included African national
lists and diplomats Of independent
African states. Tambo, unable to
obtain travel documents, managed
to leave South Africa in March,
1860. He arrived in New York
from London. The American Com
mittee on Africa announced a pro-
gram of emergency relief to An
COLA. It will seek to provide medi-
cal supplies for the estimated total
Of 5000 to 100000 Angolan ref
ugees.
Earlier, in Conaltry, Guinea,
Mario de Andrade, president Of
the Angolan Popular Freedom
Movement (MPLA), said the An
golans' struggle for independence
was going strongly ahead and an
appeal might be made soon for
African volunteers to assist in the
fight. He was In Guinea enroute to
New York where he was slated
to attend the United Nations de-
bate on Angola. It might be noted
that de Andrade Is said to be at
odds with the Angolan Peoples
Union (UPA), led by African ma
tionalist Holden Roberto. De And
rade said the United Nations Afro
Asian bloc was keenly interested
in the Angolan situation. The bloc
has hoped that a united front
would shortly be established be-
tween de Andrade's group (MPLA)
and that led by Roberto.
East African leaders are weigh
ing the problems which confront
them with independence. Julius
Nyerere, former prime minister Of
the already independent Tangan-
yika and leader of the powerful
Tanganyika African National I'm
ion party, warned that educated
Africans must avoid the tempta-
ton to use their learning to be-
come the new privileged. He ap-
pealed again for an East African
federation Of Tanganyika, Kenya,
Uganda and Zanzibar class In Az
RIGA and to exploit the common
people.

Please Get lem off The Streets The Old Chunks, That is

Chief of Police Bob Oliver to- day called attention to a number of cars and trucks whicfI have not been operated this winter but left parked on the streets.
 Oliver pointed out that such vehicles are a hindrance to the free flow of traffic and are a serious problem during snow re- moval.
 Oliver said: 'Our streets are not designed for prolonged per- iods of parking, therefore your Police Department is taking the necessary steps to have these ve- hicles removed from the streets and to enforce the pertaining or dinances.
 We ask that the owners of the vehicles in question take immedi-t ate steps to move them off the public streets. If you do not have off-street parking space, please call the Police Dept. and they will help find winter parking for you"
