It's spring, the fishing fever
is epidemic and you want tc
buy some tackle. Possibly it will
be for the first time.
When you visit a sports store
the array will be bewildering
There'll be fly rods and related
equipment, spinning gear, bait
casting outfits and salt water
tackle ad infinitum. Despite the
popular picture of a boy with
a cane pole, fishing is a COM
plex sport.

Correcting Mr.. Eisenhower

Former President Eisenhower has written a
long long piece for the Saturday Evening POST,
full of wise and modern instances" which is
chiefly interesting because it reads like stereotype
out of the 192Os. One suspects that the Saturday
Evening Post, having taken the plunge and modern
lied, and then had second thoughts, is now over
compromising for its over-compensation.
The Eisenhower article has come to our atten-
ton because of what he had to say about civil
rights. In almost 1000 words giving his thoughts
what he conceives to be todays problems, here are
the sum total of his words about civil rights: IT am
astonished of that after all the promises
that were made during the 1862 campaign, the new
regime has done precisely nothing about the vital
matter of civil rights"

THE ATTEMPT on the life
of Ghana s President Kwame
Nkrumah was followed by a
police roundup of some Is per-
sons for questioning in an ap-
parent effort to determine
whether the action was polite
ally inspired.
President Nkrumah, 50, escaped
injury when a bomb or hand gren-
ade exploded near his car in, the
village of Kulingugu, about 500
miles north of Accra, the Ghanai-
an capital The blast killed four
persons, including a schoolboy and
two policemen, and injured So
people in the crowd that gathered
to greet DR.. NlIrumah. The assas-
sination attempt came while the
President was returning to Accra
from a visit to neighboring Upper
Volta
THE BOMB exploded as Presi-
dent Nlxrumah stepped out Of his
car to greet some school children
and a large crowd. His life was
saved by the quick action Of one

incident reported. Just as Nkru-
nah stepped from his car, Captain
s. A. Buchanan, the bodyguard
who accompanied him, heard a
thud and quickly gathered the
members Of the Presidents party
into a circle around DR.. Nkrumah,
forming a human rampant. Then
the blast occurred. Captain Buck

the country. The government re-

The Economics Of
Prejudice

For the better part of one week. the Twin Cities
have been host this month to more than 1000
Shriners and Daughters of Isis. Their comngs and
goings, and their activities have been fully covered
in columns This editorial is sort of postscript
commentary on the economic significance of the
event. and on the extent to which enlightened
civil rights policy works economic benefits.
These conventions meant upwards of 500 900
in business to Twin Cities hotels plus incalculable
additional business to restaurants, entertainment
spots, retail stores and other enterprises in our
cities.
Yet, within the memory of most of us, such a
thing would have been impossible. 1t is not too many
years ago that most of our hotels and restaurants
and niteries, poisoned by ignorant prejudice would
have kicked this business away!
Many of our cities north well as SOUTH still
kick it away! And in so doing they also kick away
the business of other big groups-labor, political
professional and fraternal who demand enlightened
policies as the price of their convention business
Thus the cost of prejudice is enormous, espec-
tally to those who practice it. In some cases. un-
doubtedly this social bankruptcy is followed by
economic bankruptcy.
Most students of the problem now believe that
prejudice and segregation a major factor in
the grinding poverty of the South The cost of main
tanning separate facilities - however poor - for
whites and Negroes, represents tremendous drain
on the South's resources When this results in the
impoverished school systems Of the South the cost
is compounded and projected into the future.
1t is our hope-faint and forlorn though it be
that our friends in the South may begin to take
look at the economics Of prejudice, that they may
begin to compare its effects in the South with the
benefits which derive from the opposite policies
in state-in schools in business in cultural
and social activities
Economic reality is a hard and compelling
teacher. Perhaps, at long last the South will begin

tempts were made in Accra, dam

parliament house.
President Nkrumah, with the ap-
proval of many Of his staunch adj
mirers, has ruled Ghana with a
firm hand since leading the rich
Gold Coast colony to independence
from Britain in 1857. These ad-
mirers point out that firm leader
ship is essential in a new country
where tribal and other differences
prevail.
MEANWHILE, In Mali, Ghana's
partner in the Union of African
State" and Casablanca Charter
Group, an official communique an
nounced the arrest of 252 persons
in connection with an alleged plot
supported by an unidentified for
eign embassy to overthrow the
government of President Modibo
Keita. The communique said more
arrests were expected and warned
the government would crack down
on those responsible for the con-
spiracy to seize power in the West
African republic. Keita said he re-
ceived warnings from Europe and
particularly Britain Of subversive
movements and an attempted coup
d'etat. He said these warnings,
from natural allies" of Mali, in
dicated there would be attempts
at subversion and a coup detat in
the country between July Is and
August Is. :.
PRESIDENT KETTA, speaking
at a meeting called to probe the
history of anti-govenment demon
strations in Bamako, the capital,
by a group Of merchants on July
20. He said the demonstrations
were part of plot prepared a long
time back, with foreign support.
The object of the conspiracy, Keita
said, was to overthrow the govern
ment, iquidate its leaders and re-
place the government with a new
one, more docile towards direc-
tives received from outside Mali"
He revealed that three people,
now under arrest, were to have
played a part in the coup detat.
The three were identified as FLY
Dabo Sissoko, Hamadoun Dicko
and Kassoum Toure. Sissoko and
Dicko were former members of the
French Parliament for the Sudan
and leaders Of the former Sudan
Party, the PART Soudanais Pro-
gressiste" (PSP), which was allied
to the French section of the Socia-
list International (SFTO). The
SFTO was defeated by the Union
Soudanaise," a branch Of the AZ
rican Democratic Rally (RDA),
and now the only party in Mali,
Toure was described as a former
member Of the Union Soudan-
aise," who was discontinued be-
cause his personal ambitions had
been frustrated
THE MALI president said Sis

content in certain circles, among

tors in particular, and encourage
them to try and regain their form

this task, Keita said, they were to

and arrested Toure, who played
into our hands because he was in
possession of CFA francs (recent-
ly abolished in Mali)."
Keita said Toure's arrest spark

Alderman Mac Gregor
Deserves Vote OF Thanks
Instead Of Censure

When Minneapolis Alderman Robert MacGregor
stated few days ago that aldermen can receive
payoffs for their votes liquor licenses there was
a big howl which went up from some sources.
MacGregor simply repeating what has
been common gossip in the city hall for over 80
years This talk isn't going to die down until the city
council agrees to complete overhauing of the
liquor licensing procedures.
This newspaper thinks the proposals of Mayor
Arthur Naftalin's Liquor Advisory Committee have
some merit. The city council if it would avoid the
continued rumors which have been in the city hall
air for many years ought to carefully study the
proposals advanced by the study committee and not
arbitrarily cast them aside
Instead of censuring Alderman MacGregor
the city council ought to give him vote of thanks
for making public charges which have been private
ly repeated for many years.
All the talk about vote of censure of Mac
Gregor was a lot of hot air." in the first place

Stock Prices Mixed,
Range Is Fractional

NEW YORK, Jan. II (AP) -
Economic news was bright but
the stock market was mixed in
quiet trading early this after
noon.
Gains and losses Of most key
stocks were fractional, some
moving a point or so. A few
SPECIALLY situated issues made
wider gains.
The market was lower early
in the day but improved in
routine trading to show a
roughly even balance between
gamers and losers.
Wall Street seemed to draw
little inspiration from news
that industrial production was
at a record in December, that
retail auto sales in the first
third of January were the high
est since 1857 for that period,
and that applications for FILA
