Warns Nationalism May Inflame Africa Member Os French Cabinet In Warning PARIS (INS) —The only Negro minister in the cabinet of premier Guy Mollet warned today that nationalism may inflame the 30 million natives living under French rule in West and Central Africa if liberal reforms are not made soon. He is Dr. Felix. HouphouetBoigny, who is the minister-dele-gate to the office of thg, prime minister and who represents his native Ivory coast as a deputy in the national assembly. "The national feeling that has set North Africa on fire does not exist in what we call French ‘Black Africa,’ not yet, that is,” he said in an exclusive interview with International News Service. “But if the strong aspirations and interests of our masses are not given due consideration in due time, the nationalism inevitably will find its place in the hearts of our people.” He made it clear he is not trying to “blackmail" the French government into making reforms, but is urging them because he feels they are necessary and would be fruitful. In the late '4os and early ‘sos, Houphouet-Bolgny worked in close alliance with local Communists. But he later abandoned his Communist contacts and is no# trying to explore the possibilities of progress in cooperation with France. France has lost Indo-China and is now fighting for survival in Algeria and trying to negotiate new deals with Tunisia and Morocco. But it never occurred to most Frenchmen that the French territories of West and Central Africa also might go “nationalist^—-;- —- France gave equal civil rights to the colored man in Senegal in the early days of the French revolution more than 169 years ago. Few Fbendhrnen realize that from the Middle Bast a steadily increasing feeling of Moslem solidarity is sweeping toward Black Africa Cairo radio has special broadcasts in Negro dialects describing in laudatory words the achievements of Arab nationalism. The majority of the Negro poulation in French African possessions are believed to be Moslems, while a minority is Christian. An pnknown part of the population is still pagan. Houphouet, who has been entrusted with preparation of the constitutional reforms needed for progressive liberalization of the overseas territories’ regime, expressed hopes of success.

Lack Os Judgment Blamed By Kefauver Kefauver Confident Os Convention Win WASHINGTON (INS) — Sen. Estes Kefauver, (D-Tenn.) who is waging a relentless battle to turn the - nomination tables on Adlai Stevenson this year, blames “lack of judgment” for his failure to be nominated four years ago. Kefauver told a national television audience Sunday that he "didn’t rpn things well'' at the 1952 Democratic convention and that he was unable to overcome strong opposition from influential party leaders. s However, he declared on the NBC-TV show, “Youth Wants to Know,” that neither “poor judgment" nor the heavy opposition of Democratic leaders will defeat him this year. Kefauver said he would like very much to have the backing of former President Harry Truman before and after the convention because "it will be easier tor a Democratic nominee to win with Mr. Truman’s support.” He said he is certain the convention this year ’Will be “fair and open.” He explained he is taking Truman's word for this. When asked whether he thought the party would line up behind him if he wins the nomination, he said: “I am sure the party leaders would support me as strongly as they could.” ” ; The senator vowed he would not bring President Eisenhower’s health into his campaigning. He maintained that the vote against Mr. Eisenhower by those who feel he is not physically fit to serve another term will be balanced by a sympathy Vote from those who feel sorry for the Chief Executive because of his illness.
