lament to join the Congress
Party. This gives the latter a
majority Of SIS seats to 19 for
the Democrats and 16 for the
Kabaka Yekka. Needless to say
this weakening of his party
was not pleasing to the Kabaka.
The most damaging affront
TO the Kabaka, however, came
when two of his European ad-
visers were deported from the
country by the central govern
ment. One was deported for
criticizing Prime Minister
Obote. The fact that there was
little retaliation from the Ka-
baka himself, observers say, in
dicates a weakening Of his in
fiuence.
Last week the central gov
ernment denied report that
it planned to arrest the Kabaka
if he did not leave his hunting
camp. The camp is in the "lost
countless" an area claimed by
the Baganda and their tradi-
tional enemies, the Banyoro.
The Kabaka's camp is sur
rounded by Baganda ex-scrv-
icemen, who have settled there
to take up their claim to the
counties.
But the fact that the govern
ment would issue public
statement denying rumor
about the Kabaka has only
added to tension between the
two forces.
Uganda's three other kings
(the Omukama of Bunyoro, the
Omukama of Toro, and the
Omugabe of Ankole) are warily
watching the tussle between the
government and the Kabaka as
an indication of their own pre-
carious future in this independ-
ent country.
II the Congress Party be-
comes more powerful (if more
members from the other two
parties flock to it) they could
legislate the Uganda kings out
of existence and thus remove
any challenge to their author
ity. :"

ers welcomed the agents dur
ing the opening assemblies.
Mayor Charles E. Sampson of
Greenwood said that many Ne
gro farmers have raised their
cotton yields from one-half a
bale to a bale and a half per
acre, and made equally good
gains with livestock and other
farm enterprises, because of
help they received from Negro
county agents like S. L. Hilton
of Greenwood. Mayor Paul Sto-
wers Of Itta Bena joined in
praising their contributions to
the economy.
S. R. Evans of Greenwood
welcomed the agents on behalf
of the Trustees of the Insti-
tutions of Higher Learning of
Mississippi.
Urging them to "tackle the
tough jobs, the jobs that real
ly count" in their educational
work was w. M. Bost, director
of the Cooperative Extension
Service, Mississippi State Uni
versity. Also greeting them
from the Mississippi Extension
Service was L. H. Moseley, dis
trict agent at Stoneville.
The educational mission of
the Extension Service agents,
and also of Mississippi Voca-
tional College, was stressed by
DR.. J. H. White, president of
the college.
H. l.. Hubbard of Angleton,
Tex, president of the Nationa
Negro County Agricultural A
gents Association, told the a.
gents, "We must continue our
efforts with production agricul-
ture and rural homemaking
practices and at the same time
meet the demands of our much
larger audience of rural nom
farm, suburban and urban peo-
ple."
An award for distinguished
service to agriculture was pre-
sented to an agent from each
state. Members given this hon.

Urban League board and staff
officials on a variety Of sub
jects relating to race relations
and the role Of the Urban Lea
que as a professional social well
fare agency in the South.
Mainly, the concern of the
discussion was to explore ways
and means of encouraging bet
ter volunteer participation of
local Negro and white commun-
ity leaders in taking the initia-
tive in inaugurating immediate
changes necessary for improv-
ing general opportunities for
Negroes in the South. The
Southern Regional Officials of
the National Urban League
view this concern as the key
issue in diverting the current
racial crises from the trauma
of the streets to the local COM
munity conference table.
Under the craftsmanship of
Winthrop Rockefeller, Board
Member of the National Urban
League, the group approved the
principle of forming a South
wide Urban League Advisory
Committee of Negro and white
regional leaders to be constitut-
ed at a subsequent meeting and
to confer periodically with local
ard regional National Urban
League officials on matters re-
lating to Urban League program
and needs in the South.
Operating in the fields of job
development and employment,
education and youth incentive,
health and welfare, housing and
voter education, the Urban Lea
que has programs in twelve ur-
ban cities throughout the South
and has experienced severe pres
sure from professional h t e
groups of the Nation.
To sustain and intensity the
programs of these Urban Lea
CUES and to expand activities
in the several additional key
cities in the South are the goals
of current plans of the South
ern Regional Office of the Ma
tional Urban League as it works
with the newly found Southwide
Advisory Committee.
The Winrock meeting was the
first of several steps of an
overall formal of program ex-
pansion planned by the South
ern Regional Office under the
supervision of Clarence D. Cole

About 200 agents from 10
states attended the meeting. The
main professional topics discus
sed were career exploration
through All Club work and
how to help the "hard to reach"
farmers.
Government farm programs
involving price support and con-
servation payments are as nec-
essary as ever, the agents were
told by Horace D. Godfrey, ad-
ministrator, Agricultural Stabi-
lization and Conservation Ser
vice, Washington, D. C. He urg-
ed them in their day-to-day ac-
tivities to help encourage farm
families to use these programs.

declared.
In the 80 years since farm
programs as now known were
started, agricuiture's ability to
produce surpluses has increased,

Early this month the biggest
strain in king-governmentr re-
lations occurred for all to see
when the Kabaka failed to meet
with leaders of East African
countries attempting formation
of a federation.
Prime Minister Milton Obote
of Uganda, president Nyerere
of Tanganyika and Prime Min !
lister Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya,
invited the Kabaka, along with /.
Uganda's three other kings, to
meet them at the Parliament
Building in Kampala.
All but the Kabaka attended
the meeting. A spokesman for
the Kabaka said he was unable
to attend because of the short
notice of the change of meeting
place.
Several events of recent
months have heightened the
tension between the Kabaka
and the central government.
't$he Kabaka is rarely at his
palace in Kampala anymore.
He prefers to stay at his hunt
ing camp at Ndaiga, more than
a 100 miles from Kampala.
When Uganda became inde-
pendent Oct. 9 last year, as
concession to the Kabaka and
his influential Baganda tribe,
he was allowed to have a po-
litical party, the Kabaka Yekka,
which represents his views.
This party had more than 20
seats allotted to it in the Ma
tional Assembly, the national
governing body.
The party formed coalition
government with the Uganda
Peoples Congress, which at the
time had 81 seats. This coalition
gave the two parties a COM
manding majority over the op-
position Democratic Party.

members of the Kings party

The Holmes basketeers are off
and rolling with victories in their
first two games. The Bulldogs
travelled to Scooba on December
3 for their seasons opener a
gainst the Lions of East Miss.
The game was a thriller through
out with the lead changing hands
several times during the first
half before the visitors surged to
a 9-point halftiue advantage. How
ever, the Lions, encouraged by a
flock of spirited rooters, closed
the gap early in the second half
and the two teams battled evenly

game. Holmes finally emerged

in close, counting several tip-ins
among his total, but he was most
effective with his jump shot from
about ten feet out. Sophomore
Clyde Mansell executed
good ball control and was the
games second highest scorer
with Is points. Ed Stafford scor-
ed II, while Dell Stafford did an
outstanding job in the clutch,
scoring IL points in the final 5
minutes of play.
The Bulldogs defeated South

game, Dec. 6. After the visiting
Bears took an early go lead, the
Bulldogs roared back, being car

Stokes cooled off, but Ed Stat

two forwards had Is points bet

During the second half, the
