Baah, 27, a student at Northwestern University Law School, and K. A. Akwawuah, 33, a student in the University of Chicago School of Business. Both are on Ford Foundation fellowships. They said Nkrumah inspired the military coup in Togo, a neighbor state of Ghana, in which Olympio, 61, was killed Dec. 13. Olympio's bullet riddled body was found near the unlocked gate in front of the United States embassy in Lome, Togo's capital. The students urged that the Togo situation be investigated by the United Nations appointed body, and some means should be found to insure the survival of democracy in that small nation. Baah said Nkrumah has been seeking an excuse to take over Togo. The student branded Irdrissou Antione Meatchi a Togolese exile in Ghana who was called home to participate in the new Togo gov ernment, merely a puppet of Nkrumah kept and trained in Accra, the Ghanaian capital. "We are made sick by what is going on in Ghana," Akwawuah said, "and we think it is important for Americans to understand that Nkrumah means to take over all of Africa if he can and make it into a Communist state." Akwauah said he visited Nkrumah's Ideological Institute in Winneba last year. He said 400 Africans are trained there each year in Communist doctrine and tactics, and then sent back to their countries to incite rebellion. Both students said Ghana is becoming a vast network of Communist institutions, such as the Young pioneers and farmers' and workers' organizations set up to train leaders to subvert other African nations. Subversion inspired by Nkrumah's influence has been uncovered in the last year, they said, in Nigeria, Liberia and Sierra Leone. SAYS EXCUSE SOUGHT The charges were made by K.

A minister accused of diverting church funds to his personal use and of claiming church property under his own name and that of his wife is being used for $150,000 by his congregation. The Superior Court action, which also charges fraud, was filed by Atty. Benjamin N. Wyatt Jr. in behalf of the Normandie Avenue Baptist church and seven persons described as officers and charter members. Complaint named as principal deendants Rev. Nelson Higgins Jr. pastor of the church, organized in 1959; his wife Mrs. Mayme Higgins, William B. and Marguerite Hogan and five John Does. Plaintiffs in the complaint are Rev. Roby Chapel associate pastor, and four others. When contacted, Mrs. Higgins said the charges were ntrue. Higgins the complaint charged, failed to keep his promise to enter under the church's name all personal and real property when the church was incorporated in 1960. Instead, complainants accused Higgins of diverting church funds to his personal use and claimed the church's real property in his own name and that of his wife's as point tenants. The action seeks $50,000 damages including interests from Nov. 28, 1960, and exemplary damages of $100,000 and that the transfer of the property be set aside. A hearing on a restraining order forbidding intereference with church property is slated Jan. 23.

POSNERS BERGAMOT WATER REPELLENT CONDITIONER of HEADS Recommended by Beauticians everywhere POSNER'S GENUINE BERGAMOT HAIR CONDITIONER WATER REPELLENT Urban League Official Views Bias In Nation An article titled "Discrimination; 1963" by Otis E. Finley, Jr., National Urban League associate director for education and youth incentives, appears in the current (January) issue of American Child, a publication of the National Committee on Employment of Youth of the National child Labor Committee. In his article, Mr. Finley examines the seeming paradox of mounting despair among urban Negroes at a time when apparent strides are being made in race relations. Vets Urged To Contact Local VA Don't write the Veterans Administration's Washington office to obtain information about veterans benefits. Quicker results will follow a visit phone call or letter to the local regional VA office. Specific requests for information concerning individual cases cannot be handled in Washington, VA officials point out. These must be answered at the office where the records, files and case folders pertaining to individual veterans are maintained. These records are kept in regional offices and at least one is located in each state in the Union and in Puerto Rico and the Philippines. When veterans write regional offices for information, they should include their full names, complete address, birthdate and claim number ("C" number), if they have one. Thus the veteran is identified and VA workers are assisted in locating records needed to supply the supply the desired information. Kenya Opens Its Schools To All While most primary schools in Kenya have been quietly integrating with African and Asian children fo some time, all of the schools bu one began an official desegregation program last week. Reports reaching the Ministry of Education said there has been "remarkably little opposition" from whites in Kenya. It is generally known that area about Nairobi contain the most liberal settler communities. Observers said it would become increasingly "more humane" as the diehards move south. Last November more than 5 nonwhites were attending European schools, and while it is not known how many are now attending, school applications at that time totaled 365 for Africans and about 50 for Asians. Opportunity Committee Engaged In 3-Point Anti-Bias Act–Johnson The Vice President, chairman of the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity spoke at a Plans for Progress banquet in Washington following the signing of Plans for Progress in equal employment opportunity by 19 additional companies. The additional signers brought to 104 the number of major national business firms which have signed with the Vice President pledges to carry out equal opportunity measures above and beyond the basic requirements of President Kennedy's executive order establishing the equal opportunity program. "I believe that most of you, like me, have recognized by this time that a sentence to menial labor cannot be rectified merely by removing that sentence," Vice President Johnson declared. "Really, what we are engaged in is a threestep process: "First, we must open up the doors of equal opportunity so that we can truthfully say that employment shall be on the basis of merit and without regard to irrelevant considerations of ancestry. "Then, we must open up the doors of training so that those to whom we have given access to equal opportunity will be in a position to prepare themselves for that opportunity. "Finally however, we must strike down the habits of mind and the social institutions which make those who have been the victims of discrimination skeptical of the efforts that are being made to remove that discrimination. The three-step process that I have described has led to the "Plans for Progress" program. Our government can, and has established a mpliance program in which sanctions can be exercised to maintain non-discrimination. But our government cannot by decree enforce sanctions that govern our social institutions and our pattern of thought." During the signing ceremonies, President Kennedy, Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz and committee Executive Vice Chairman Hobart Taylor, Jr. also commended the Plans for Progress program and the 19 new participants in that pro gram. The Vice President emphasized that companies coming under the Plans for Progress program "are not relieved from any of their obligations under the President's Executive Order. But they also realize that as Americans they have an obligation to go beyond that and to take the positive steps that will really solve the problem."

Sunday School Lesson Our purpose today is to study Jesus' method of teaching in an effort to improve our own presentation of the gospel. In this lesson we continue the discussion of attitudes toward Jesus. In the last lesson we saw an ardent opposition expressed by some of the religious leaders of his day and how the opposition can continue in our own time and within ourselves. Other attitudes toward Jesus are indicated in the parables. Jesus' parables were aimed at making his teaching clear although some who heard refused to listen to the true meaning of the stories. But the parables were not simply stories, they were told in order to obtain a response. Chapter 4 gives us a familiar parable that indicates attitudes other than opposition. This parable of the sower points up a significant fact; those who are not actively opposed to Jesus still may not accept Jesus wholeheartedly. In fact, Jesus mentioned at least four possible attitudes or reactions. First, let us look at the parable. A sower (Jesus) scattered seed (this may be Jesus' message or the personal confrontation With Jesus himself). The initiative is with the sower God makes the first move toward man to draw forth a response. Throughout the biblical record Good is portrayed as taking the initiative and moving toward man and for man. God does not wait for man to act — he addresses man. This means that the Bible is not a record of man's search for God. Rather it is a dialogue. God speaks through his acts in history (such as the exodus and the coming of Jesus Christ) and man responds. Jesus is not the supreme "God-seeker" or "Finder-of-God," On the contrary, he is the expression of God's attempt to find man and call forth a response. But now notice the types of people Jesus confronts; the unreceptive, those quick to hear and quick to forget, those who have more than one loyalty, and those who hear and respond with love and obedience. None of these people actively oppose Jesus. But how variusly they respond! And how descriptive these responses are of man's continual reactions! Some people are simply indifferent. This attitude Was common not only in Palestine in Jesus' day, but it is also common in America today. Most people do not violently oppose the Christian faith. They may say a good word for it now and then. But basically, many are indifferent, unconcerned, and have no interest in commitment. Can anything excite concern — not mild interest, but genuine concern — in people like this? Even the direct confrontation With Jesus did not seem to make any difference. There may be no answer to this questions. But there may be — and this is the greatness of God's love; it is unfailing, steadfast, and persistent. If God did not take the initiative and continue to come to us, there would be no hope for man. Even to those who do not respond, God comes again and again And We are to reflect God's con cern. We must go again and again in love and in service even to the indifferent. We cannot tell whether they will respond. But we do not have to answer for them. We only have to answer for ourselves by our steadfast loyalty and continual willingness to show concern. And there are other types of response — there are those who say "Yes, I'll come to church sometime," and then forget it. There are those who are impressed with the invitation to follow Jesus, and accept it — along with many other loyalties. These are the worshipers of many gods. But remember, Jesus said a man cannot serve two masters. And then there is the type of response that Jesus was seeking . . . . one of intense love and unswerving obedience. This is the "good ground" of the parable, the fallow soil in which the love of Christ can grow. The open heart, the surrendered will, these are what Jesus is seeking. And when the Word is planted in a life like this, it can bring forth "thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold." WHY JESUS TAUGHT IN PARABLES Our purpose today is to study Jesus' method of teaching in an effort to improve our own presentation of the gospel.

Strange Assortment Seeks Last Minute Aid For Tshombe A full page advertisement in one of the capital's leading daily papers on the eve of the convening of Congress test week urged that the United States send arms to the Katanga people and asked for contributions from citizens to support the efforts of Moise Tshombe to remain independent of the Central Congo government. The ad in the Washington Post of Jan. 9 was sponsored by the American Committee For Aid to Katanga Freedom Fighters with headquarters in New York. Its chairman, according to the ad, is Dr. Max Yergan, who along with George Schuyler, an editor of the Pittsburgh Couries, also a member of the committee, has been associated with efforts to uphold the policies of Portugal in Africa particularly Angola and Mozambique. The 51 signatories to the statement which charges "barbarous agression" by "United Nations mercenaries" includes some of the nation's leading reactionaries and racists. One, Sen. James O. Eastland of Mississippi, is one of the nation's leading proponents of racial segregation who has applauded his state's defiance of federal authority in the famous James Meredith case. Another, Sen. Barry Goldwater, has Unconcealed presidential aspirations and is leader of the conservative wing of his political party, the Republicans. He has endorsed his party's strategy to woo southern support of offering candidates who are known segregationists. But the most surprising name on the list is not that of an American at all, but a self-exiled German, Dr. Albert Schweitzer, Who has spent a number of years in Africa as a medical missionary. Schweitzer is quoted in the advertisement as follows: "The policy of the UN in the former Belgian Congo causes the great anxiety because it proceeds from a total ignorance of the country's problems. It is a grave error to try and unite by force people so profoundly divided among themselves. If Katanga is unwilling to be reunited with the Congo, the UN should respect its wishes and not try to impose its own will at any cost......." Dr. Schweitzer is a rusting fragment of colonialism and as outdated as a pith helmet.
