Minneapolis spokesman., 1962-12-14

Of racial integration in the United
States, praised South Africa's
strict racial segregation policies
and called new African nations a
collection Of sad spectacles." He
praised the present Rhodesian fed
Grafton, which nationalist Africans
bitterly oppose.
His attacks seemed to fall In line
with the policies of Sir Roy We'll
ensky, prime minister Of the fed
Grafton, who has opposed immedi-
ate independence for Africans.
Earlier, in Lusaka, Northern
Rhodesia, nationalist African lead
ers accused Ellender Of tanning
racial hatred and upsetting Afri-
can-U.S. relations during his tour.
The senator's remarks supporting
the federation united for the pres
ent the rival African political part
les in Northern Rhodesia.
John Banda, an African Nation
al Congress leader, said Ellender
was flaming the embers Of racial
hatred" between whites, Asians
Africans in the federation.
Reuben Kamanga, United Ma
tional Independence party vice
president, said, I'VE take a seri-
GUS view of BLENDERS utterances
which are completely nonsensical
If American aid means oppression,
then we shall have none of it."
Ellender, had denounced free
handouts" to independent African
nations and told Salisbury news
men the United States is broke"
He said: I'VE owe more money
than we can ever hope to repay"
adding there would be no more
free handouts" to African states
If he had his way in Washington.
Meanwhile, in Uganda, the gov
ernment spokesman who announc-
ed the ban on the senator, said:
"Ellender could see one part of
Africa where the African is ready
for self-government but we don't
want this prejudiced segregation
list type in Uganda"
EIlender now bears the distinc-
ton of being the first person to be
declared a prohibited immigrant
since Uganda became Independent
October 8. Tanganyilta observed
her first anniversary Of independ-
ence December 8.
EIlender, who has previously
attacked the admission of the
new African countries to the
United Nations, said his views
expressed in Southern RhOdesia
were private, not official. He Is
In Africa as a member Of the
US. Senate appropriations COM
mittee, looking into foreign and
expenditures.
While in Salisbury, In reply to
questions from an African reporter,
Ellender said: IF you can get
somebody to stay with you for
about so years, you might be able
to take over, but you won't be
able to do it overnight" He blasted
African nationalism, saying he had
visited every country in Africa and
there was not a single one Of them
capable of governing itself. He said
the Congo is the saddest example
Of all the African states and called
1t a cemetery.
Though BLENDERS remarks
were known to conflict with Of
ficial US. policy in Africa, they
were expected TO draw addition
nj criticism from African leaders
around the world
On the subject Of UN admission
for the new countries, Ellender, In
August, said he regards 1t as ''un-
considerable for the leaders Of Z
country to cry for independence
and then In the next breath de.
mand economic aid for its surviv-
al" In a talk for broadcast in
louisiana, he said few Of these
countries are able or prepared to
care for themselves or their people
and what preparation has been
done has been done by the so
called colonial powers the liberals
take so much pleasure in malign-
ing" -
