In Arms Sale Plot

RABAT, Morocco, Aug. IT
(AP) Moroccan officials said
tonight they are holding six
American servicemen on charges
of consenting to sell arms to

said. The six Americans were
arrested July IA, while the plot
was uncovered July 16, and sew
eral score Moroccans seized.
Officials said that no arms or
money had actually changed
hands.
The six are accused of hav-
ing agreed to sell arms to a GER
tain Dioury Houmen, who later
was arrested on charges of be-
ing in on the plot against Has
san II.
Moroccan officials identified
the Americans as Marine Pvts.

SANDER Africa,
Verwoerd Says

SMITHFIELD, South Africa,
Aug. II (AP)-Premier Hend-
rik Verwoerd today accused the
United States and Great Brit
ain of being willing to SANDER
South Africa to win African
Asian support in the United
Nations.
He also accused the African
Asians Of attacking South
Africa to hide their own in
ternal troubles.
The premier told a rally of
Orange Free State nationalist
that in certain respects the
African-Asians could be regard
ed rs children. Thus there was
no need to get emotional about
their recent attacks, he de-
clared.
1t was sad, the premier con-
tinued, that in the theological
struggle between East end
West, some older nations did
everything in their power to
win African-Asian support.

SOWANDE WORK
FOUND PLEASING
BY JOHN HASKINS
Contributing Critic

Mark Fax, composer and organist.
st. Johns Episcopal Church. Lafay-
e f,d. Square; o ProgrSm; GhOTale-Pre.
Meditations, Kay Arioso, Kerr:
Pieces. Sowande.
The penultimate concert in
st. Johns interesting summer
series of Saturday evening Or
gan recitals presented Mark
Fax, Of the music faculty of
Howard University, where he
teaches composition, counter
point. and orchestration. His
program was devoted entirely to
works by Negro composers of
our time.
The principal spot on the
program in all respects be-
longed to the Nigerian COM
poser, Fela Sowande, born in
1905, educated in England, and
reasonably prolific in his cx-
ploitation of folk melodies from
the Yoruba tribe. His Three
Pieces" consisted of a liturgical
Gloria, a Prayer, and a set of
variations on a theme fascinat-
ingly titled "Oyigiyigi."
Some months ago Mr.. So
wande directed a special con-
cert in New York, at which his
compositions were featured, in
GLIDING a symphonic work spe-
cially commissioned for the
celebrations attendant upon
the independence of Nigeria.
There is no denying the fresh
ness Of his material, nor in its
working-out in these compost
tons for organ his great debt
to the English stylists, STAN
ford, Terry, and Stainer.
The Fax works, which car
ried only musical tempo titles
(Andante; Allegretto; Vivace)
were intimate little pieces
carefully constructed. They rose
to no great heights, but they
were soundly made.
Throughout the recital, es-
pecially noticeable because of
all the quiet music which pre-
coded the Sowande works, a
handsome crystal chandelier in
the dignified Benjamin La
trobe- designed church emitted
a high-pitched vibrant ding
a-ling-a ling obbligato. This
distraction became rather
comfy after a while, and oddly
enough, it went on even when
the organ wasn't playing, a
sort Of minor league music Of
! the spheres.

secretary. New trials were de-
MED last week.
The defendants were con-
victed last June Is of conspir-
ing to defraud the United
States of its right to the I'M
corrupted services of johnson
and Boykin. The jury of 10
men and two women deliber-
ated 80 hours before returning
guilty verdicts on 80 counts.
Trial testimony said johnson
and Boykin made several visits
to the Justice Department in
1861 in an effort to have a
mail fraud indictment against
Edlin dropped. They used their
congressional influence and re-
ceived compensation for it, the
Government commended.

ion supporting his denial of

Johnson's lawyer, George
Cochran Doub, had contended
that Government prosecutors
were 'intemperate in the abuse
heaped upon johnson" in final
arguments to the jury at the
end of the nine-week trial.
The Government contended
two 1861 letters written by
johnson to a co-defendant
were fabricated by johnson
after he knew he was unGer

Government attorneys ar
gued the letters contained mis-
takes his experienced stenog-
rapher could not have made.
