SATURDAY, JULY 16. I960 Between The Lines Bv Dean Gordon B. Hancock for ANP Whose Fault Is It? The Congelese people have taken over from the Belgians, their erst¬ while rulers. Their independence did not come the easy way, for as their new Premier, Lumumba, re¬ counted in caustie language,” the Congolese” have known ironies, in¬ sults and the blows to which we have had to submit, morning, noon and night because we are Negroes. “On that great occasion of the inauguration of an independent re¬ public, Lumumba came pretty close to spoiling the “coming out party” by his barbed references to Bel¬ gium’s 80-year history of terrible atrocities in the Congo. The world remembers with Lu¬ mumba the late King Leopold, who not only exploited the Congo, but bled it in the meantime. So on the August occasion of independent Congo’s “coming out party” a dis- cordant note was sounded, much t„ the chagrin and embarrassment of the Belgians present. While President Kasavubu was more restrained in his remarks for the great occasion, broadminded men e\$prywhere will sympathize with the stinging rebuke Lumumba let go on said occasion. The liberal world will pardon this erstwhile prisoner’s outburst of pent up resentment of treatment for nearly three-fjCnerS-l tions. Some of the South’s news- papers spoke rather disparingly of the Congo’s future and intimated that the Congo was “not ready” for independence. Suppose for the sake of argu¬ ment—and for the sake of argu¬ ment only—that the Congolese peo¬ ple are not ready for independence, whose fault is it? The Belgians have been in charge for nearly a hundred years, why they had not readied Congo for independence? How long would it have taken Bel¬ gium to get Congo ready’ ft>V-inde¬ pendence? ir.: ? ,: • " ’ ■ 1 v-n 1 This “not , ready gag is a hoary- Colonial pleaded argument imperialism for, perpetuating! 1 and its : .comitant slavery.

NAACP Sends Truckload Food to Somerville Victims of Boycott SOMERVILLE, Tenn., (ANP) —Seventy five Negro families, victims of an economic reprisal j instituted because of attempts here last by , Negroes to vote, feasted j I week on a truck load National of food shipped in by the | Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Jesse H. Turner, an NAACP spokesman in Memphis, said his organization sent the food “and some clothing” in response to a plea from the Fayette county Negroes. “They haven’t been able to get jobs or credit or anything else since they registered to vote,” Turner said. About 60 per cent of the coun¬ ty’s population of 24,000 is Negro, but according to the U. S. Civil Rights commission, no Negroes have voted there since Reconstruc¬ tion days. Only 370 have register¬ ed so far. Turner said, however, many more want to vote but don’t try for fear of the reprisals. The food was sent by truck from Memphis, 30 miles away, and was distributed at the grocery store of John McFerrin, a Negro who is one of the leaders in the drive to get Negroes registered. Turner said wholesalers and gasoline companies have refused to sell McFerrin any merchandise since the drive started. Turner said the food was dis¬ tributed only to those families who were suffering because some member had registered to vote. He sage during the sessions. A Presi¬ dent’ Banquet in Thayer Hall, Clark College, will be one of the featured events of the meetings. A most important phase of the con¬ vention will be a Panel Discussion, the theme of which will be: “Pro¬ gram of a Service Club.” Discuss¬ ants for the theme will be repre¬ sentatives of Rotary, C i v i t a n Lions, Optimist, Kiwanis and Frontiers organizations. Members of the national board are expected to be in Atlanta on July 27th, for a special meeting at 5 p.m.; a special dinner will follow at 7 p.m. M. R. Austell, executive secre¬ tary of the host chapter, urges that Frontiers delegates and visit¬ ing Yokefellows bring their wives and other members of their fami¬ lies. Adequate accommodations and excellent entertainment have been arranged for to make of their visit a memorable occasion. The social calendar will include, among other . things, sightseeing tours, garden , and bridge parties, shopping tour- and house parties. The ladies of j the convention may attend the i luncheon and the Founders’ Day Dinner, Memorial Services and all meetings which are open to the general public. Mrs. Florine D. Furlow, chair¬ man of the Ladies Committee, will , meet with all visiting wives and give them a detailed program of activities already planned for. Relative to the feminine side of the convention, delegates and visit- ; ng members are urged to indicate, when registering whether their | wives will be accompanying them. ! And so it is “On to Atlanta, Leader of the South” and the mecca of culture of Negro Amer¬ ica. July 6 , 1921 — F.zzard Charles, former heavyweight champion of the world, born in Atlanta, Ga.
