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

The 20-pound pipe fell from

The nine-foot-long pipe also hit

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

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

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

teaching them to forego their

Police dispersed the students

the normal school closed temp

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.
