BALTIMORE, June 81 (AP)
The president of the Univer-
sity of Maryland and the State
superintendent of schools have
voiced support of a compromise
plan on the administration of
the State teachers colleges.
The Commission for the Ex-
pansion of Public Higher Ed
ucation in Maryland issued a
report last week calling for the
creation of a nine-member
board Of trustees to run the
five teachers colleges and Nor
gan State College.
Il voted for the proposal
without reservation, and I in
tend to support it without
change" said DR.. Thomas G..
Pullen. jr., the State Superin-
tendent.
an Right Direction"
DR.. Wilson H. Elkins, univer-
sity president, said the proposal
was "a move in the right di-
rection, and it should bring
about a great improvement in
higher education"
DR.. Pullen and DR.. Elkins
were on opposite sides during
a bitter dispute two years ago.
An earlier report by the War
field Commission recommended
that three University of Mary
land branches be established
around the State and that the
university abosrb the teachers
colleges at Towson, Salisbury
and Frostburg.
After the defeat Of that plan,
Gov. Tawes appointed the new
commissioner headed by John
M. Curlett, a Baltimore bust
nessman. DR.. Pullen and DR..
Elkins were among the COM
missions 10 members.

membership is Communist, but
most observers have put the figure
much lower than that. There are
only 10000 party members in the
country.
Beeon in '30s
It all began with the change
in the international party line in
the early '30s, following the rise
of the Nazis. The Communists
then abandoned the "class against
class" policy for that of the
united front" From then on the
Communists worked so far as they
could with other left-wing groups
both in the unions and outside
them, and gradually made prog
ress. It takes a long time to get
to the top of a union, but Com
munist branch officials gradually
went on to become district or area
officials. By 1945, assisted by Rus
sia's war achievements, there were
oOlAlC Ill Vic ullOOlC ldIlhO VI SCN-
eral unions ready to challenge for
the topmost positions.
Their methods were those they
adopt everywhere. They worked
indefatigably under centralized
leadership, concentrated their
votes on one candidate while their
opponents votes were scattered,
and took every opportunity to dis
credit and undermine the existing
leadership.
In the immediate postwar years
the challenge came Weak leader
ship had left the ETU particu-
larly vulnerable, and the presi-
dents departure to join the board
of the newly nationalized electric

munist Frank Foulkes to consoli-
date their hold. They nearly had
a greater success still when at
one time there were three Com
munists and one unreliable mem

until 1906, but in the meantime
plans to exploit the mineral
wealth had been made and an
agreement reached with Robert
Williams of Tanganyika ConceS-
sions, Ltd, Scotch engineer and
close associate of Cecil Rhodes,
British empire builder.
The whole region was under the
sway of black chief named
Msiri who favored the Belgiaps
and eventually welcomed Leopold's
agents. Munongo, is a grandson
of Msiri.
The Congo was not popular
with Belgians in the early days.
The whole project was frequently
criticized in Parliament BY 1905
there were only $500 Belgians in
the whole Congo and Katanga was
the least popular area
There was sleeping sickness,
famine and disease. In Western
Katanga, the Batetela tribe, from
which Lumumba descended. con-
stantly harassed the whites.
In 1910, there were only 10
Belgians employed by Union
Miniere.
Elisabethville was founded in
1910. The British consul was there,
operating from two mud huts, one
of them his home. But immigra-
ton was starting.
In 1911, Union Miniere pro-
duced $500 tons of copper and
the company was on the way. 1t
now employs about 10000 Africans
and 1000 whites in Katanga. The
monthly payroll is Sc million.
The 492-foot chimney above
Elisabethville's Lumumbashi cop

landmark of a pleasant, prosper

African employees.
Homes for Workers
1t has built more than 10000
single dwellings for the Africans
and their families. 1t has en-
couraged Africans to keep families
with them and helps with loans
if an employe wants to build his
own house. 1t has been known
to advance money SO an African
can pay dowry for wife.
The company estimates it has
spent more than $50 million on
social and welfare projects in Ka-
tanga. Its African workers have
churches, clubs, recreation fields.
They receive free medical care,
disability insurance, paid vaca-
tionS, old-age pensions and family
allowances.
The company has encouraged
permanent employment-rare in
African mines and the annual
labor turnover is said to be less
than 10 per cent In Elisabeth
ville's Lubumbashi township are
TOO new homes built in bungalow
style, all with electricity. running
water, showers and toilets-rare
comforts for the vast majority of
Africans.

BACK OF COMMUNIST SETBACK
How British Union Ousted It's Reds

The climax came in the winter
OF 1959-60 when Frank HaXell,
the ETU general secretary, who
was also member of the Com
munist Party executive, came up
for reelection and the votes of
100 of the TOO union branches
were disqualified in order to give
him a majority over Byrne.
The TUG now insisted on an
independent inquiry but before
they had concluded their aigu-
ment with the union on this issue
Byrne and Frank Chapple, an
other eX-CommuniSt on the exec
utlve, brought a court action al
leging conspiracy and asking for
a declaration that Byrne was
elected general secretary. The case
in the High Court in the spring of
last year lasted 38 days and is said
to have cost 100000 pounds. Mr..
Justice VIM found that the union
had been managed and controlled
by the Communist Party to serve
its own ideals and that there,had
been a conspiracy to prevent the
election of Byrne in which five
of the chief leaders had taken
part, including the president.
general secretary and assistant
general secretary. He directed that
Mr. Byrne should assume that
general secretaryship Immediately.
One of Byrne's first acts was to
appoint Cannon his personal as
SiStant.
Congress Expels Union
The TUG and the Labor Party
now expelled the union from
membership.
In September the whole execu-
tive came up for reelection, as
they do every other year. After
the tremendous publicity given to
the case, 20 per cent of the union
members took the trouble to vote
instead of the usual 10 per cent
and the Communists were out.
The non-Communists thought
they had majority of IL to on
the 11-man executive (Which in
fact turned out to be to -
whereas the Communists and
their supporters had previously
had majority of 8 to 3.
The combined efforts over a
period of five years or more Of
newspapers, television pro-
grammes, many MPs and other
individuals, the TUG and finally
the High Court had finally sue
ceeded in ending the DONNA
