THE WHITE MAN In AFRICA
Editorial in the London OBSERVER

WHAT future, if any, is there for the five
million Europeans who have made their homes in
Africa? This is the fundamental question which is
now being discussed by the Kenya conference in
London by Mr.. Sandys and Sir Roy Welensky in
Salisbury by the leaders of the Algerian national
lists and NJ. JOKE on the borders of Switzerland. In
these three at least negotiations going
with some hope of success In Algeria itself in An
COLA and South Africa the Europeans have rejected
all negotiations and are prepared to maintain their
positions by force.
In a speech last week the High Commissioner
for the Central African Federation in London, Mr.,
with the Economist, the Guardian and the Bow
Group of finding it difficult if not impossible, to
concede that Europeans in Central Africa have any
right to be there to participate in the affairs of
the country This is untrue We believe that Euro
peans are entitled to be considered as citizens Of
their homelands in Africa to live there peacefully,
to contribute their enterprise and skill and capital
to the continent which they have done so much to
develop. They are an asset not a liability.
BUT we also believe that they can hope to stay
there only if they recognise certain facts. In the
first place the mere presence of European settlers
in large numbers-whether $1,000 in Kenya or
312 900 in the Federation, or three million in South
Africa-is not itself an argument against African
self f-government The whites everywhere in a
minority and cannot deny the right of the African
majority to rule without simultaneously denying
everything that they pretend to believe.
In Kenya-though not in Algeria, Angola, Moz-
ambique South Africa, nor yet in the Federation
this is accepted by all responsible Europeans
For them the question is the timing of the change
over to majority rule and the kind of safeguards
needed to protect European and other mnorites
These are legitimate subjects for negotiations but
constitutions however carefully drafted, can Of
fer real safeguards to mnortes if the majority
not prepared to work them. The real remedy lies
therefore in the hands of the Europeans themselves
The trouble is that many Europeans want more
than legitimate minority rights They want to pre-
serve their privileged position. This frankly is i'm
possible. The old ways are doomed. The Europeans
will either have to adjust themselves to different

For Youngsters:
Minneapolis Men
Seek To Organize
Baseball Teams

A plan to organize and enter
three baseball teams of South,
Central youths from second grade
through ninth is being pushed by
four Minneapolis men.
If the teams are supported they
will be entered in the Park League
Dale Goodmanson, 1856 Third Av
S. said this week. Goodmanson
Ira Robinson, 3848 Oakland, Dick
Robinson and Hobart T. Mitchell
Jr., of 4211 Fourth Av., are the
committee seeking funds to buy
uniforms for the three teams.
The Twin City Council of Clubs
business firms in the area and
individuals are to be asked to con-
tribute to a fund to purchase uni
forms, bats, balls and gloves for
the young baseball players.
Information about the plans
may be secured from any of the
men named. Goodmanson can be
reached at Carpenters KWIK
Dairy store at the corner of 38th
& Third Av. S.
The committee believes the or
ganization of these baseball teams
will keep about so boys of the
area busy during the summer
months and thereby contribute to
their recreation and community
welfare.

Mich. FEPC To
Decide Bios Case
Within Month

Detroit (ANP) - A decision is
expected to come from the Michi-
gan Fair Employment commits
sion within a month in a case
against Northwest Airlines for its
failure to hire a Negro stewar-
dess.
Miss Marlene White, now of
Chicago and formerly of Detroit,
filed suit against the airline in
1859.
Miss Whites case was only the
eighth case to receive a public
hearing in the seven-year-old his
tory of FEPC. There have been
1857 cases before the Fair EN-
ployment Commission.
Gerald White, assistant at
torney general in charge of the
Detroit office, argued the merits
of the case before the FEP Com
mission.
The time is not ripe to in
tegrate a Negro stewardess," Don
aid Nyrop, president of North
west, is reported to have told a
Minnesota Fair Employment Prac,
tees investigator in 1858.
Northwest Airlines' headquart-
ers are located in Minnesota.
Miss White, hired as a reserva-
hons clerk in 1859, continues in
that capacity with the company.
g. the commission does no
such thing" declared Attorney
White, after the attorney for
Northwest asserted that 1.-The COM
mission looks under every bush
for a bigot."
But the commission will seek
out bigots whether under a bush
or flying the airlines," White
added.
Arguments in the long public
hearing of the airlines before the
state FEPC unit concluded re-

EUROPEANS are also afraid that the Africans
will use their power to oppress them. This is a
natural fear among those who until recently have
reprsals (as happened in peaceful Tangan-
yka), but there is enough evidence in other parts
of Africa to suggest that racalism in reverse is
not great danger-although it is obviously a risk
But the remedy for all these fears, real and
imagined, is to establish improved relationships be-
tween Europeans and Africans now. There are signs
of this already happening in Kenya. At the con-
ference in London Europeans working closely
with both African parties which eagerly accept
formation in race relations has about in Ny
ashland since African majority rule brought DR..
Bandas Government to power.
The real answer to those who talk of what may
happen in Kenya the Federation is to point to
what has happened in Algeria and Angola. If the
British settlers in Central Africa have not learnt
this lesson, the British people have. This country
would be united in a refusal to commit British
troops to delay the pace of change If the settlers
were so foolish as to take the law into their own
hands, they could expect no support from here
Britain cannot be left, with Portugal, as the
last European country cnging to its privileged pos
ions in Africa. The great process of disengagement
cannot be halted for the interests of few thousand
settlers The Europeans remaining in Africa deserve
support on one condtion-that they are prepared
to stay on terms which will not involve either them
selves or Europe in military conflict. One Algerian
is more than enough.

HozeI Scott Hit
With $4,000
Income ToX Lien

White Plains, N. Y. (ANP) -
A federal income tax lien of $44,-
1913 against pianist Hazel Scott
former wife of Harlem's Rep. Ad-
am Clayton Powell, was revealed
here in Westchester county court
The lien covered the period of
1949 thru 1855, with the exception
of 1851.
Powell was tried in 1860 on
charges of fraudulently reporting
only 5000 tax due on 1851 income
of Miss Scott estimated at $7O,-
900. A federal court jury dead
locked 10 to 2 for acquitting the
pastor-legislator and the following
year the government dropped the
case.
Miss Scott was not a defendant
in that case.
She and Powell were divorced
in November, 1860. Each has since
remarked.

City Planners Falling

-. the large city is not absorbing and

enough; its slums are no longer acting as
an incubator of a new middle class. One rea-
son for this failure is that city planners
have been more interested in upgrading the
value of the citys real estate than in up
grading the lives of the human beings who
inhabit the real estate. They have tried to
create middle-class neighborhoods by driv-
ing lower-class Negro residents out of the
