IN EAST AFRICA, the final
conference for Uganda's independ-
ence has been set for July or early
August in London. Preliminary
talks will be held in February when
Chief Minister Benedicto Kiwanuka
goes to London to discuss financial
aid, dealing principally with Ug-
anda's 145,0O0,OOO dollar (LI g.
000,000) development plan, with
colonial officials. The main confer
ence will be concerned with the
transfer of power. Under the new
constitution, the governors reserve
powers will be abolished. Sir Wal
ter Coutts, the present governor, is
expected to be the first governor
general. Observers point out that
the only issue which might disrupt
the harmony of this last conference
is the problem of lost counties"
KENYA, also trying to get its
affairs in order for independence,
remains a scene of political rival
ries, involving largely the Kenya
African National Union, headed by
Jomo Kenyatta and the Kenya
African Democratic Union, led by
Ronald Ngala. Recent reports in
dictate rivalry even within these
two major parties, especially in
the case of KANU. There have
been reports that KADU describes
the KANU rift as a straight fight

regarded as the father of the in
dependence movement in East AZ
RIGA not only by most Kenyans, but
by such leaders as Tanganyika's
Nyerere, Nyasaland's Banda, Ug-
anga's Kiwanuka, and Zanzibar's
Karume.
Another factor in the equation
is KADU leader Ngala who,
though unspectacular, has great
strength in official circles because
of his diluted nationalism. On the
all important land issue, his views
are more acceptable to influential
whites.
Well educated, cultured, he is
still no political dummy. He is also
ambitious and it is doubtful that
in his present position he would be
willing either to share with Mboya
or run the possibility of forming
an alliance in which Mboya's
theatres might overshadow him.
However, with or without Ngala,
Mboya has the audacity and the
impotence to challenge Kenyatta.
Left to a popular election on the
one-man one-vote basis, the verdict
would go to Kenyatta, but the
leader of Kenya's first independent
government will be the leader Of
the party that is able to devise a
proposal that is acceptable to the
British colonial office and that
could be KADU, KANU or Mboya's
party if he decided to form one.

New Emancipation
Proclamation Is
Need Kino Saws

Middleton, Conn. - Nearly 100
years after Abraham Lincoln's
historic Emancipation Proclama-
ton, an American Negro leader
has called on President Kennedy to
issue "a second Emancipation Pro-
clamation."
Addressing a Embarrassing rally
at Wesleyan University here Sun
day, the Rev. DR.. Martin Luther
King Jr. said the time has come
for the President of the United
States to issue an executive order
declaring all segregation unconsti-
tutional on the basis of the 18th
Amendment.
II call this a second Emancipa-
ton Proclamation" declared the
Rev. DR.. King. II think this is
the time to do it and the time to
urge the President to do it,"

Amid applause, the Indignation

Such leadership, he said, has
come so far "only from the judicial
branch of the government" He re-
ferred to the historic 1854 Supreme
Court decision overturning the ear

branch of government, the Rev.
DR.. King charged, has been stag

He also stressed, however, the
necessity for the Negro himself

between pro-western and pro-east-
ern politicians. This view Is based
on a simple enumeration of the al
legged sources from which various
KANU leaders receive money.
Most observers, however, feel that
personal feuds and rivalries-rath-
er than east or west influences -
are the core of Kenya's political
stalemate q.
KADU's executive officer, w.
Wabuge, has issued to the press a
letter, repeatedly written by a
Kenya student in West Germany,
James Gitata, charging that Kenya
has a Communist party organized
by the Lao in KANU." Gitata,
who claims in the letter to be Xix
yu, Is believed to come from the
Fort Hall district. The letter
states: THE Communist Party
hiding in KANU has the intention
of ruling after independence; but
all in vain" The letter says Gitata
went to East Germany where he
was put in a guard room for seven
days because he was not a member
of the Communist Party. KADU
leader Ngala, commenting on the
letter, was quoted as saying that
the infiltration of Communism in
Kenya was being encouraged by a
few members in KANU.
Meanwhile, E. KhasalIhala, legis-
lative council member from North
Nyanza, warned his constituents to
beware of Communist money that
was circulating" in the area. I'VE
need independence for our people,
not an exchange of powers as some
leaders want. We cannot have col

Especially in "re-evaluating his

DR.. King said he still has a long,
long way to go before this problem
is solved" And he warned that

To those who counsel moderation,
he declared, "if moderation means

The point was amplified by Miss

For Kenya Leadership

Narob, Kenya (ANP)-Poltcally smart Tom Mboya is
expected to make direct challenge of Jomo Kenyaa leader
ship among freedom hungry Africans here.
MbOya secretary of the powerful Kenya African
National Union KANU of which Kenyata has recently
5umed leadership.
Reports persist that Mboya will pull out of KANU taking

with MN about II nigh ranking
members and form a new party
which is expected to ally itself
with Ronald Ngala's Kenya Afri-
can Democratic Union (KADU).
KADU, the minority party,
agreed to participate in an interim
government after KANU refused
to protest over the authority it
would be able to exercise.
Since that time there has been
a bitter fight between the two
parties which has delayed negotia-
tons leading to a take-over of the
government by the Africans.
When he was released from nine
years of Imprisonment and confine-
ment last year, it was expected
that Kenyatta, because of his sta
ture, would be able to reconcile
the differences between the two
groups and form United African
front which would be in stronger
position to demand immediate pol
itical independence.
JOmO Unable To Unity Leaders
Though Jomo is undisputed idol
of the masses, he was unable to
bring to the leaders of the two
groups together because of a men,
Der of factors. Among these are
fears that the Kikuyu tribe, of
which Kenyatta is a member,
would be politically dominant; the
refusal of some leaders to subord-
mate themselves to Jomo; the his
toric clash between youth and age
and the refusal to accept some of
Kenyatta's embittered colleagues
who had lived in exile with him.
Mboya, who is the most outward
ly ambitious of the Kenya leaders,
is also perhaps the most impatient
in his desire to assume the top
leadership. He was progressing
rapidly until Kenyatta returned to
the scene.
Jomo's most loyal heutenants,
Oginga Odinga, Paul Nigel, DR.. Jul
ius Kiano, and others are inclined
to regard Mboya as a brash up
start who lacks proper respect for
his elders who pioneered the in
dependence movement when Mboya
was a lad.
Reports that Mboya is heavily
financed by the American labor
movement have led to the charge
that he would be a tool of outside
interests. The fact that he is
member of the rival Luo tribe is
no asset to those who are members
of or are allied with the powerful
Kikuyu tribe.
MbOya COlorful, Untiring
However, aside from Jomo, him
self, Mboya is the most colorful
of the group wing for leadership
roles and he is the only full time
professionally-sRilled politician of
the lot.
He works at it "a hours a day,
makes no move that doesn't ad-
vance his political ambitions. His
role in the scholarship program,
under which several hundred young
Kenyans have been sent to Amer
lean colleges and universities, has
been skillfully employed by him to
increase his political stature.
Similarly his position in labor
has enabled him to build up
strong personal following.
On top of all that, he is craftily
intelligent, ruthless, personable,
untiring and an excellent orator.
Kenyatta on the other hand is
old lin his 70's) and, because of his
long exile, a little out of touch
with the young crop of leaders. He
lacks the vitality to compete with
Mboya's youth.
JomO Idol OF Masses
However, Jomo is the idol of the
masses, and can still command a
bigger audience than any other one
personality in East Africa. He is

LIFE
Life is too brief
Between the budding and the fall
ing leaf.
Between the seed time and the
golden sheaf,
For hate and spite
We have no time for malice and for
greed;
Therefore, with Love make beauti-
full the deed;
Fast speeds the night.
Life is too swift
Between the blossom and white
SHOWS drift,
Between the silence and the lark's
up-lift,
For bitter words
In kindness and in gentleness our
speech
Must carry messages of hope, and
reach
The sweetest chords.
Life is too great
Between the infants and the
Mans estate,
Between the clashing Of earth's
strife and fate,
For petty things.

Walk glorious over Heavens gold

Or soar in wings!
