Meanwhile, the likelihood Of
Northern Rhodesia's break with
Welensky moved closer to reality.
Kenneth Kaunda, president Of the
United tional Independence
Party, and Harry Nl1umbula, lead
er Of the African National Con-
gress, have formed a coalition gov
ernment, ending their political DIFF
ferences.
Kaunda and Nkumbula, like
Banda, have pledged themselves to
wrecking the federation. While the
government they have formed does
not give Northern Rhodesian Afr1-
cans independence or complete in
ternal self-government, it is none
theless considered as a major pol
itical advance for the territory.
After announcing he would form
coalition with Kaunda, Nkum-
bula said he fly to London to de-
mand a revised constitution. It
turned out that the two national
ist leaders made the London trip

The Year 1862
Was Fruitful

The year 1862 was an eventful year for the
world. This was true of of the United States
of America which continued to play chief role in
world politics the international scene.
Perhaps the event of greatest Importance to
the world scene was the Cuban crisis and our
country's conformation with the Russia govern
ment and our forcing that country's rulers to back
down the establishment of missile bases few
miles from shores.
Although we were at "the brink of war; that
neither nations civilian population was prepared
for, we won the engagement this time Unfortun-
ately we have already forgotten the hurried at
tempts and almost pitiful panic with which our
civilian population viewed the apparent impend-
ing missile warfare, and its effect on our almost
totally unprepared cities and population centers.
Our Civilian Defense posture is still In frightful
mess, and nobody but nobody seems to give q
care.
The year 1862 was eventful for the Negro. The
big news of the year the admission Of James
Meredith, Negro armed services veteran, to the
University of Mississippi The nation suffered by
the bad light in which our country was placed in
the eyes of our watching world neighbors by the
antics and insurrectionary activity of a state gov
ernor. That governors encouragement Of open viol-
alton of law his defiance of the law which led to
bloody riotng the campus Of the states seat Of
higher learning, which resulted in the deaths Of
two persons and the injuring and manning Of
dozens OF others, was mitgated by the action Of
the Federal government in putting down the open
rebellion which brought the nation close to second
civil war and which except for Federal action could
have cost the entire country the disrepect Of the
world
As with the Cuban crisis which followed
President John F. Kennedy, patient but firm
and when action was necessary he took it with
some dispatch, always trying to understand the
dilemma to which elected demagogue, had
plunged a state, which Of all the states needs
leadership which will move It away from the
poison Of racism, which has made It disgrace In
the eyes Of the civilized world

years an official at st. Peters
AME church, Al St., and Fourth
Av. S., announced this week he
was resigning his official duties
effective Jan. 1.
Mr.. Boyd stated his advanced
age (he's an active 80 year old)
and other duties have been piling
up on him. AS a result he stated
he felt he had to give up his offic-
ial church activities.
Mr.. Boyd said he thought this
holiday season and the New Year
was the logical time to be relieved
of some of his responsibilities.
Mr.. Boyd has been a delegate
from st. Peters AME church to
the annual conference nine out of
ten conference years.
He also has been district dele
gate to two AME General Con-
ferences.
IN making his public announce-
ment he stated the church through
the pastor the Rev. Lowell john
son will have his written resigna-
ton by Jan. 1.
The veteran st. Peters steward
said he was extremely apprecia-
tive and proud Of the confidence
which the church membership has
shown him during his years as
chairman Of the church stewards
board.
Mr.. Boyd stated: THE many
kindnesses, the fine cooperation I
have received for most Of the 20
years I have been active has been
most heartwarming.

political power and the bargaining which his con-
sumner purchasing power has in the market place
a mighty factor in a capitalistc society, which
the Negro has just begun to in his quest for
full opportunity to participate in all of the fruits
and privileges of a free society.
Much Of the progress has been lead by the
present national administration Of John F. Ken
nedy who has shown leadership in changing pat
terms which have kept the Americna Negro out
Of the main stream of American life.
Kennedy must be given credit for supporting a
plan Of action in government, to at last give the
Negro federal worker, the consideration he deserves
the basis of merit, something the Negro federal
government worker had not fully received before
His administration began a massive recruiting
program to bring trained American Negroes into
government service for high level jobs He started
right here in Minneapolis where he selected Carl T
Rowan a former staff member Of this paper to as
sumo the post of deputy assistant Secretary OF
State for Public Affairs, the highest post ever held
by American Negro in the US State Depart
ment in the history of the country
Kennedy did not just tell the government agen-
cies what to do in this field but he dramatically SCI
forth his aims and beliefs by adding to his own
personal staff Negro. Andrew Hatcher as

Luomo Replies To
Richard ChuPman's
Key Club BIdSf

Everett E. Luoma, in Every
body's Ideas in the STAR, 1924
9Th St, Sc. whose attack on the
Minneapolis City councils reVoca-
ton Of the licenses Of the Key Club
was in turn the subject Of an at
tack by Ralph Chapman In the
same section Of the daily paper on
Saturday, Dec. 22, has replied
to the Chapman letter.
Wrote Mr.. Luoma this week:
Ralph Chapman Is as vague as
to what specifically closing down
the Key Club will accomplish as
is the City Council. I can only
assume that he believes as the
City Council wishes us to believe
which is that prostitution will
somehow be lessened II the Key
Club is closed. II this is his opin-
ion, he simply has not been around
as much as he says he has.
ANY individual who is seriously
interested in lessening prostitution
and the other vices would look for
the causes of these vices. He would
then reach the conclusion that pow
erty and its resultant social ten
sions so prevalent among the low
er classes is the major-if not the
only-cause Of vice. In order to
abolish prostitution than, this in
dividual would look for ways to
abolish poverty.
Closing down the Key Club
merely increases the number OF
unemployed among the Negroes,
who always have been the last
ones hired and first ones fired.
The result would be a further low
ering Of personal dignity and
therefore an increase in the basic
problem.
Because the Minneapolis City
Council has refused to consider the
relationship Of socio-economic pos
ition and crime, can only assume
that there is no serious effort to
abolish prostitution. I can only
conclude that the entire issue is a
Red Herring"
Sincerely,
Everett e. Luoma

slgnaled OFFICIALLY when the Brit
ish government said 1t accepted in
principle the secession Of Nyasa-
land from the combine.
The federation, established In
1853 and embracing Southern
Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia and
Nyasaland, has long been a source
Of discomfort for African nation
alists. They have often scoffed at
the European-sponsored idea that
the union was a partnership"
Nyasaland, eastermost sector OF
the African grouping, has a pop
ulation which includes $500, 900
Bantu tribesmen and $500 Euro
peans. DR.. Banda's Malawi Con-
gress Party controls the Nyasa-
land government.
The British move brought q
harsh rejOInder from Welenslxy,
Onetime boxer and opponent Of
immediate African independence.
Declaring his government had
been ignored and side-stepped''
by Britain on the Nyasaland issue,
Welensky accused England Of "an
act Of treachery" and charged the
British government have rated on
u.s."
Speaking in Salisbury, South
ern Rhodesia, capital Of the fed
Grafton, Welensky said his govern
ment believes there Is little II
any honor left in dealing with the
British government"
Although the opposition Labor
Party in London approved the
governments Nyasaland move,
It is likely to draw protests from
the right-wingers In Primo Min
lister Harold MacMIllan's Con-
servative Party. Macmillan was
meeting with President Kennedy
In Nassau, Bahamas, at the
time Of the action.
In announcing the governments
acceptance Of Nyasaland's seces-
sion, which probably will not be
effected for nine months to one
year, First Secretary Of State r..
A. Butler acknowledged 1t would
mean serious and substantial
economic troubles for the African
protectorate. Nyasala nd and
Northern Rhodesia have British
protectorate status. Southern
Rhodesia Is a self-governing Brit
ish colony.
Butler said the Nyasaland
ernment Is aware Of the econ
Omic hazards Of secession and
ready to adopt policies to min

"It was admired and respected
by all the world, because they ex-
