Vance Hartke for saying that he “is convinced that - basically Africans are able to govern themselves.” We think this is really a very serious criticism. When are people ready to govern themselves? The British didn’t think that the American colonists were ready in 1775-6 — and maybe they weren’t. But they went right ahead and did do it, anyway! .After all, it’s been quite obvious that if people waited until their conquerors thought they were ready for self-government, there would never be any selfgovernment anywhere. Os course new African countries will face troubles. They have to do in generations what our ancestors took their good, sweet time in doing over 2,000 years, or more. You can’t change people’s ideas overnight. Take some of our own ideas. I’ve seen people throw salt over their shoulders when they spill it. That’s an old pre-Roman custom, done to propitiate the god of the hearth — throw a little bit of everything cooked to the Gods, etc. Very un-Christian — yet I’m sure the people that throw salt over their shoulders think they are Christians! When are people ready for self-government? When they do everything just exactly the way we do it? No, there are are many ways to do things “right” — we may disagree, almost violently, with some of these — yet these people have a right to determine their own futures. Sure, these countries will have problems. All new nations do. So did we. But, when Tom Witherspoon, editor of the Portland Commercial-Review, criticizes Sen. Hartke for making a trip to help reassure these people and to gather first-hand information for the Senate foreign affairs committee, he’s being rather foolish. Visiting the new countries of Africa is hardly a pleasure trip — it’s serious business, and it doesn’t * take a very deep student of history to remember our reactions, in the 1790’5, to French, Spanish, Russian, and other help or hindrances, and our extreme anti-British sentiment weH into this century. We have plenty of problems right here in Adams and Jay counties with people whose thinking is frequently closer to the stone-age than the nuclear ag?. Lets do a little worrying about “our own” and remember opr Declaration of Independence—” We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness.” There is no “when they are ready” attached!

Site Os Meeting Is Security Paradise

By United Press International

The Kennedy-Macmillan meetings in the Bahamas Wednesday and Thursday win take place in a location best described as a “security man’s paradise." The site is the Lyford Cay (pronounced key) development, 15 miles from Nassau, on a narrow peninsula surrounded by forbidding reefs. It is completely sealed off by a security cordon. The Cay, a planned residential community on 4,000 acres of rolling land on the western coast of New Providence island, is site of the members-only Lyford Cay Club. Its facilities in Bahamian sunshine include an 18 - hole golf course and a yacht marina. New Providence Island on which Nassau is located is one of the most important of the nearly 700 Bahama islands scattered over more than 70,000 square miles of sea. The islands extend from a point 60 miles east of Palm Beach, Fla., to the north of Haiti in a 760-mile arc stretching in a southeasterly direction. - Bahamians consider Nassau the center of» their world. The city was named in 1695 in honor of England's King William 111, who had been prince of OrangeNassau. From the beginning its magnificent harbor attracted ships—and pirates.

pelled, commerce restored,” is the motto of the colony. The American flag once flew over Nassau. In 1776 an American naval squadron under Commodore Ezekiel Hopkins captured the two armed forts there. They confiscated guns and munitions and departed with the governor, Montfort Browne, as a hostage. During the Civil War, Nassau became a key base of supplies for Confederate blockade runners. Food, medicine and other materials needed by the Confederacy were smuggled from Nassau to southern ports in exchange for Confederate cotton, bound for Europe’s mills.

Blame Loss Os Bolt For Airliner Crash WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Civil Aeronautics Board has blamed the 78-death airliner crash at Chicago in 1961 on the loss of a 5-16 inch bolt. The CAB said its investigation showed that a key bolt was missing from the elevator boost mechanism —the system for moving the controls hydraulically like power steering on a car. The report said it was impossible to determine why the bolt failed. The airliner, a Trans World Airlines Constellation, crashed Sept. 1 just after taking off from Midway Airport for San Francisco with 73 passengers and a crew of five. The CAB’s reconstruction of the accident theorized that when the bolt gave way, the elevators locked in a violent upward maneuver that caused partial failure of the tail section. Normally, the CAB said, the pilot would switch to manual controls when the hydraulic system failed. But this time, it said, he instinctively must have pushed forward on the controls to bring the nose down. The CAB said that it recommended two months'" after the accident that the mechanism for shifting from boost to manual he modified on all Constellations. It said there have been only two cases of known bolt failure.

Tom Mitchell, Veteran Actor, Dies Os Cancer BEVERLY HILLS. Calif. (UPI) —Thomas Mitchell, one of the few character actors to achieve top stardom and winner of top acting awards in nearly every medium, died of cancer Monday at his home. He was 70. The veteran actor, whose career spanned 50 years, had been ill since last March. Although he had devoted most of his time in recent years to television, he achieved his greatest success in motion pictures, winning an Academy Award in 1939 for his portrayal of a whiskeysoaked doctor in “Stagecoach.” Mitchell was the second famed character actor to die of cancer within two days. Charles Laughton succumbed Saturday night at his Hollywood home. Hie two appeared together in the 1939 film version of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame." Wife, Daughter Present Mitchell’s wife, Susan, and daughter, Mrs. Anne M. Lange, were at his bedside when he died. Mitchell was best known to modern audiences for his roles in the “Mayor of the Town” and “Glencannon” television series and as host and star of “The O. Henry Theater” series. He was last featured on television in singer Perry Como’s special Thanksgiving television show filmed last Summer. He portrayed various roles —from a train con-ductor-to the “Home Town” mayor. His last motion picture was a co-starring role in “Pocket Full of Miracles.” with Bette Davis and Glenn Ford. Scarlett O’Hara’s Father Mitchell, uncle of former U.S. Labor Secretary James Mitchell in the Eisenhower cabinet, was born in Elizabeth, N.J., July 11, 1892. The robust actor was one l of seven children of James and Mary Mitchell, both of whom were born in Ireland. He first appeared in Hollywood in the 1934 movie “Cloudy with Showers.” His career really began to take shape in 1936 when he played a character role in “Lost Horizons.” His best known pictures of that era were “The Hurricane,” “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” and Scarlett O’Hara’s father in “Gone with the Wind.” Mitchell, who said he was most fond of. the stage, won his greatest critical acclaim on Broadway for his role in “Hazel Flagg” in 1953. The year before he won an Emmy as the best television actor of the year and a Peabody Award for radio acting had come earlier. New York Stock Exchange Prices MIDDAY PRICES A.

Cold rain and snow fell along the coasts. Sioux Falls, S.D., had 56 Monday, breaking by one degree the previous high set in 1927. Springfield, Mo., which less than one week ago set a record low of 5 below, had 68, equalling the previous peak for Dec. 17 set in 1939. Records were set from North Dakota to Texas Sunday. To the west, nine traffic deaths in the San Francisco Bay area were blamed on rain, and mud and debris closed two main highway arteries in San Francisco subbur bs. Turbulent surf conditions along the Southern California coast subsided Monday, although waves peaked at 12 feet, upsetting boats at Santa Barbara and Redondo Beach. Rain and drizzly fog clogged the skies throughout most of California and the rains were heavy along the northern California coast. A persistent weeklong fog kept its cold clammy hold on Utah. A forecaster said Ist week’s frost in Florida was the most severe freeze of the century. It caused losses to Florida’s vegetables, citrus fruits and pastures “in the hundreds of millions,” crop experts said. At Caribou and MullinoCket, Maine, the temperature today dropped to one* above zero. Some snow fell Monday.
