o o Kabaka Returns To Regime In Prosperous Buganda Washington The Kabaka of Buganda has returned to his peo ple. After two years of London exile, this king of the Buganda Province of Uganda, in British East Africa, was met by a cheer ing, singing, drum-beating wel come that a conquering hero might envy. Actually, conditions surround ing the homecoming were more conciliatory than conquering. A new treaty between British and. Buganda governments has set up a constitutional rule that limits the Kabaka's powers, while in creasing those of his ministers and parliament. Differences that led to the Ka baka's exile have been resolved by 'agreement that the province shall remain an integral part of Uganda Protectorate instead of seeking a separate or autono mous status. An Old Kingdom Buganda is the largest, weal thiest, and most independent of Uganda's four provinces. Astride Actress Injured By Falling Pipe i New York (U.R) Veteran "actress Nanette Fabray recover ed in a hospital today from a king-size headache she got last anight when a scenery weight struck her during the Sid Caesar television show. The 20-pound pipe fell from somewhere above backstage just as Miss Fabray had completed a skit and was heading for a cos tume change. It crashed to the floor next to her and bounced up, striking her on the head. The nine-foot-long pipe also hit dancer Buddy Schwab, 25. Miss Fobray was taken to Doc tors Hospital in an ambulance. NBC officials said preliminary X-rays showed she did not suf fer a skull fracture but that Dr. Irving Somach had advised her to remain in the hospital under observation for several days. Schwab was not injured seriously. Caesar announced at the end of the show that there had been an accident backstage, but gave no details. The television aud ience did not see the mishap; the equator beside deep-inland Lake Victoria, it is peopled chiefly by advanced Buganda tribesmen who speak a language called Luganda. A relatively civilized kingdom was already flourishing in the region in 1862 when the first explorers, John Speke and Truman Leaves Little Doubt on Feeling for Nixon Los Angeles (U.R) Former President Harry S. Truman left little doubt today how he feels about Vice-President Richard M. Nixon, although he denied curs ing Nixon in the language of an old Missouri mule-skinner. The 72-year-old ex-chief execu tive, stumping the country on a "non-controversial campaign" to raise funds for his memorial li brary, flatly denied yesterday he told newsmen Nixon was a The former President said he "would never say anything like that" about the vice-president of the United States. But, Mr. Truman reflected: "He called me a traitor in the 1952 campaign. He called every Democrat a traitor and I was head of the party at the time." Reported by Newsmen ( Two newsmen said Mr. Tru man used the epithet in reference to Nixon when he was asked, as he stepped off a plane from Se attle Sunday night, what he thought of the vice president as a possible Republican president ial candidate for 1956. The report set off a contro versy and Mr. Truman issued his denial at a press conference yes terday. However, the controversy over-shadowed his speech last night at a $100-a-plate dinner, at which the net proceeds went to the fund Truman came here to help "drum up funds for the establish ment of the Truman Memorial Library in Independence, Mo., a $1,750,000 enterprise which would collect the historical re cords and papers of U.S. presidents. James Grant, crossed it in search of the Nile's source. Kabaka of the time was Mutesa I, great grandfather of the present Cambridge-educated Mutesa II. In the 1870s, world attention again was focused on Buganda by the visit of Henry M. Stanley after his famous rescue of the explorer missionary, David Liv ingstone. Through Stanley, Mutesa in vited Christian missionaries to his country, an invitation en thusiastically accepted by Eng lish and French representatives of various religious orders. Their activities helped prepare the ground for educational and eco nomic progress that would event ually make Uganda one of the most stable and prosperous of African lands. Meanwhile, however, the per secutions and intrigues of Ka baka Mwanga, son and successor of Mutesa, stirred up a succes sion of political and religious struggles, complicated by a Mos lem faction 'of Arab traders and converts. British Bring Order The chaotic conditions finally led to the establishment of a British protectorate over Bu ganda in 1894, and later to its extension over neighboring areas and incorporation of the whole as Uganda Protectorate. Today, the Buganda people, numbering nearly 1,500,000, have a high standard of living compared with that over much of Africa. From the Uganda capital, En tebbe, in Buganda Province, spe cial laws protect the Africans' interests. Farm lands are re served for native use; European settlers are few. Buganda's pros perity is based on its fertile soil, with cotton and coffee the chief money crops. The provincial capital, Kam papa, holds some 40,000 inhabi tants. Visitors are surprised to find modern factories, office buildings, shops and hotels as well as handsome cathedrals and a spectacular mosque. There, too, are noted Mulago Hospital, and the Makerere University Col lege for Africans that grants ad vanced degrees in the' arts, sci ences and medicine. The Kabaka's palace, standing on one of the city's flat-topped, building-crowned hills, was the scene recently of hot competition between volunteers eager to pre pare for their ruler's homecom ing. Makerere students polisheo. the palace silver. Others .made new curtains, planted roses in the royal, gardens, and repaired traditional reed fences around palace grounds. Better Tasting Milk Seen Boon To Sales Burlington, Vt.' (U.R) A dairy specialist believes farmers could sell more milk if they tried to improve the taste. "Milk must have an appeal," said Alec Bradfield, an extension worker, who added that "it must taste so good that you'll want to drink it as a beverage as well as a food." When milk doesn't have good flavor, Bradfield said, it is caused nearly 90 per cent of. the time by feed. He attributes part of the blame to fresh pasture in the spring and some fall pasture following heavy rains. During the winter, off flavors in feed come in feeding silage before milking. He suggests that cows be taken off lush pastures about two hours before milking and fed silage after the milking is completed. Captive kangaroos are easily taught to box men in exhibi tions." The main problem is teaching them to forego their terrible -kick. - - HER SLAYER SOUGHT A young taxicab driver, whose vehicle was found abandoned near Pekin, HL, is being sought in connection with the death of eight-year-old Janice May (above), who was found criminally assaulted and un conscious near her Canton.

He was an orator and dramatist, a poet, a sculptor, and a skilled potter without aid of the potter's wheel. Tuesday, Ifertmbcr 29, 1953 Russian Explosion ; Believed Set Off In Outer Mongolia Tokyo (U.R) A Japanese university . scientist said today Soviet Russia exploded its lat est hydrogen bomb in the vast Gobi Desert of Outer Mongolia. Prof. Tadao Kiyokawa of Kyoto University estimated from scientific instruments placed at three points in Japan that the Russian test explosion occurred at about 9:30 p.m. (PST) on Nov. 22. , - : He based his report on atmos pheric shock waves. Kiyowaka, head of the special meteoroligical laboratory of Kyoto University's section of terrestrial physics, placed the site of the hydrogen explosion somewhere in the Gobi Desert of Outer Mongolia. Estimated By Instruments Kiyokawa estimated the time and place of the Soviet hydro gen explosion from atmospheric pressure instruments in Kyoto and two cities to the south and west Okayama on the Island Sea and Totori on the Japan Sea. ' Each of the three cities is on Honshu, the main Japanese island.' Unusual shock waves were re corded in the three cities dur ing the late afternoon of Nov. 22, the Japanese scientist said. Kiyokawa said, he calculated the time and site of the explos ion by triangulation and compu tations based on the speed- of atmospheric shock waves of varying frequencies.
