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-
tinued 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
ancial support from the total Negro population
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 thruout the country invaluable to the al
most completely voluntary and non-paid staffs of
the various NAACP branches.

Let's Get Some Answers

Thoughtful Minnesotans who watched the men
who run the country's steel industry march up the
hill turn around and march down again, unite in
the hope that the various Investigations resulting
from this excursion will not overlook Minnesota.
1t is an irony of economy if not of
civilization that the most richly endowed parts of
our earth frequently yield economic insecurity pow
erty and misery for the people who live there and
carry out the work of extracting wealth from the
earth.
1t is also a fact that this insecurity, poverty
and misery found where the steel industry is
strong - from the iron mines of Minnesota and the
coal mines of the Alleghenys to the mill towns of
the Great Lakes and the river valleys of the Mon
ongahela, Shenango and Mahoning.
This is not to accuse the steel industry of
deliberately fostering such thing But surely a
study of the industry would do well to investigate
the conditions of employment and livelihood of the
people who do the work Surely such a study should
endeavor to get at the of this remarkable
coincidence
We in Minnesota have very special interest
in getting at the facts. The steel industry is
engaged in campaign to persuade us to change
our constitution by writing into it very special
tax favors for steel If we do this, maybe-just may
be-condtions will improve in the mining Commun-
tiles and Duluth But the industry makes prom

out, transporting, and processing that the in
dustry needs. Contrary to what some industry lead
ers to feel, the industry does have a response
bility for the economic wel-being of these people
and of the region.
Minnesota would like to know what has been
happening to cause the conditions that prevail
there. Is it true people have charged, that
the industry is cycally playing off region against
region in cynical move to support demands for
special favors and perhaps to soften up the people
who do the work? If this is the is the industry
undertaking its responsibilities in the same light
manner in developing elsewhere-in
Canada, Venezuela, and other parts of the world?
We do not know These questions which it is
important to investigate and answer, not only be-
they affect deeply here in Minnesota, but
also because they may have important bearing
upon the relations of country with other parts
of the world.

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 lin 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
in 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 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; it will also enable
me to see things for myself"
In the aftermath of criticisms
associated with any such visits by
Sir Abubakar, 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

tionalist hopes in Southern Rhod-
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
damper 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 At
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. 1t will seek to provide medi-
cal supplies for the estimated total
of 100000 to 100000 Angolan ref
ugees.
Earlier, in Conakry, 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. 1t 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 Tangap-
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 APP
pealed again for an East African
federation of Tanganyika, Kenya,
Uganda and Zanzibar class in At
RIGA and to exploit the common
people.

Mar. "a (AP). - A fire raced
through a rooming house in
this university city early today
killing seven persons.
The half block long three

persons. most of them middle
aged or elderly.
The blaze broke out about
1880 am, apparently in the
basement, and roared up the
stairway. In a short time the
50-year-old building was a
torch.
Police identified the victims
as William Thomas Johnson,
80: Miss Elizabeth Watson,
about 80: Mrs. Mary E. Gentry,
85; Goodwin Giles, "a; Charles
Hunt, 80; James Meadows, %,

Assembly and provincial elec-

The military ouSted Gen.
Peron in 1855 and is violently
opposed to his return. 1t is
apparently split on how far it
should go to prevent a Peron
resurgence, whether to seek a
constitutional solution or to
seize the government.
Mr.. Frondizi appeared to
have made peace with the mill
tary earlier this week when he
to form a new coalition
government with a half
civilian, half-military cabinet
and to nullify the Peronist vic
tories. Mr.. Frondizi has had
small success in getting other
anti-Peron parties to join his
government, however.
Names Ministers
Mr.. Frondizi named four new
last night, two from
his own intransigent Radical
Party and two from the small
Christian Democratic Party.
The major anti-Peron opposi-
ton, the Popular Radicals, thus
far have adamantly rejected
Mr.. Frondizi's overtures.
Leaders of 62 pro-Peron labor
unions called a meeting for
next Wednesday after yester-
days 24-hour antigovernment

effective.
The strike shut down indus

peron enjoyed a strong follow
ng there among the "des-
;amisadoS"-the so called
'hirtless ones. But the walkouts
barely touched the capital.
