London -IUP1I- On July 1.
there will be six new national
flags fluttering under the hot
blue African sky, along with
six new applicants for mem
bership in the United Nations.
Assuming they a'l are ac
cepted, this will raise the
membership of the world or
ganization to 90 nations, of
which 17 will be African
states.
Before the end of this

Mrs. Neuberger
Asks Federal
Campaign Help
Newport, Ore. -IDPM- Mrs.
Maurine Neuberger today
asked stricter regulation of
campaign expenditures and
for federal help in financing
political campaigns.
Mrs. Neuberger, Democrat
ic candidate for the U. S. Sen
te seat held by her late hus
band, told Lincoln county
Democratic women that most
voters did not realize the vast
sums of money which modern
political campaigns require.
"Television," she said, "can
be prohibitively expensive
and yet it, has become .an in
dispensable tool in modern
campaigning. Such enormous
expenditures in a campaign
can lead lo a candidate enter
ing into obligations and com
mitments in conflict with the
public interest."
TV Proposal Endorsed
She endorsed a proposal to
grant free prime TV time to
each of the major presidential
candidates, and also said she
favored enactment of legisla
tion to have the federal gov
ernment help finance cam
paigns for Congress and for
President.
"Victory in an election
should not go to the candidate
with the most money, the
highest paid ghost writers, the
fanciest campaign parapher
nailia, the most confetti, or the
biggest public relations and
advertising staff," she said.

the United Nations. Nine African countries
will have achieved independence. Three of
these have agreed to federate. Two have
agreed to merge.
(UPI Tclephoto)
1. Three of these, members
of the French community,
have agreed in advance to
federate. Two others, one Ital
ian - administered and one
British, have voted to merge.
Africa will be overhauling
Asia and pulling up fast on
Latin America as the largest
geographical group in the UN.
Could Be Largest
This increase of African
membership could make the
Afro-Asian group substantial
ly the largest bloc in the UN,
with a membership of 27, com
pared with 21 Latin Ameri
can countries.
Before the end of the year,
African membership in the
UN is likely to be further
increased by the addition of
Nigeria and four more mem
bers of the French commu
nity. Thus, if they can reach
agreement on controversial is
sues, the African bloc could
wind up controlling more
than one-third of the total UN
membership, with the result
that the General Assembly
would be unable to pass a
resolution on a matter of im
portance against their united
Errol Flynn's
Estate Sued
New York -IUNI- The late
Errol Flynn lured teen-aged
blonde actress Beverly Aad
land into "moral debauchery
and sex orgies, and taught her
a lewd, wanton and wayward
way of life," it was charged
Monday in a $5 million suit
against his estate.
The suit charged the swash
buckling star overpowered the
15-ycar-old girl with h i s
charm and worldly experience
and "roused within her deep,
unripened passions and unnat
ural desires inimical to the
interests, welfare and fulfill
ment of her normal youth."
The action was brought in
state Supreme Court by the
now 17 -year -old Beverly's
c o u r t appointed guardian
Howard F. Trussel of New
York. It named as defendants
Flynn's estranged wife Pa
tricia Wymore, and Justin M.
Gollenbock and Louis Gross
man, the temporary adminis
trators of Flynn's estate.
The actor died last Oct 14
in Vancouver. B.C., where he
had gone to sell his yacht. The
estate has been variously re
ported as worth from $100,000
to $1 million.

opposition. The necessary two

possible. The Security Council al
ready has approved the admis
sion of two new African mem
bers to the UN this year -the
republics of Cameroon and
Togo, both formerly French-
administercd UN Protector
ates. Big in Area
Another French territory
the Mali Federation, made up
of Senegal and the French
Sudan - recently achieved in
dependence. Mali is a sprawl
ing northwest African terri
tory two and a half times the
size of Texas, but with a
population of just under seven
million.
One of the new countries is
Madagascar, the world's fifth
largest island. Madagascar,
whose last queen, Hova, sur
rendered lo the French in
1896, has an area of 228,000
square miles - two and a half
times the size of Great Brit
ain - and a population of six
million.
Other French communities
granted freedom are Chad, the
Central African Republic, the
French Congo and Gabon. The
first three have decided to
federate into the Union of
Equatorial African Slates,
which will adopt the shorter
name of the Equatorial Union.
East Africa got its first in
dependent state on June 26
when British Somaliland was
rushed into independence al
most as fast as the Belgian
Congo, from direct colonial
rule by Britain only a year
ago.
Await Big Event
Four more French territo
ries - the Ivory Coast, the
Volta Republic, Dahomey and
Niger Republic - also are ad
vancing towards independence
this year.
But the event of the year
in Africa, from the point of
view of its long-term impact,
comes on Oct. 1, when the
British Federation of Nigeria
hoists its independence flag.
Nigeria's last census, 10
years ago, showed its popula
tion was 32 million. A nat
ural rale of increase would
put it at 38 million today.
Up to now, the leading
state in Africa has been the
white-ruled Union of S o u t h
Africa. But Nigeria, with a
population more than three
times that of the Union and
with its vast mineral resourc
es, wealth in oil and rapidly
expanding industries, is ex
pected lo wield considerable
power in Africa.

ing the principles of advanced
placement through training
and briefing conferences, In
scr.vice training for high
school teachers, and supply
ing necessary information and
evaluation to the schools to
encourage them lo introduce
new advanced placement

Needs Listed
During the coming year Dr.
Roland Bartel, a university
professor of English who is
state coordinator for the Ore
gon Council on Advanced
Placement, will spend 50 per
cent of his time on council
business.
Dr. Bartel believes ad
vanced placement will aid
high schools as well as col
leges, and it will give the
brighter student the opportu
nity of passing more swiftly
to advanced students. He
states, however, that for the
program lo be successful,
there m u s t be: Qualified
teachers in the high schools
who can give college level
instruction; time for advanced
placement teachers to prepare
for more advanced work; a
willingness on the part of

administration and communi
ty to make special provision
for the gifted student; and
consultation between colleges
and high .schools.
A few high schools in the
stale are already offering ad
vanced placement. The newly
formed council will facilitate
operation of the present cours
es and make it possible for
more schools to participate.
Most of the four-year col
leges in Oregon arc now in
the program.
A high school entering the
program may participate in
as few or as many courses
as it chooses. The logical place
to start in is the area where
the school has its strongest
teachers, Bartel points out.
Schools will have consid
erable latitude in setting up
courses. Recommendations are
available from a national of
fice or from participating col
leges. One of the key features of
the program is the special na
tional examination on the ba
sis of which colleges give
placement or credit or both.
And while any college student
may take this examination,
Bartel stresses that students
who have taken college level
work will be most likely to
come out best.
Got College Credit
The 1959 freshman class of
the University of Oregon in
cluded 44 students who had
completed college-level cours
es in high school, he said. The
university gave college credit
WASH. IINCC 1871
to nine freshmen in English
literature, 15 in English com

in French, and 14 in mathe

panding program for superior
students of the university.
Bartel remarks that "one,
of the consequences of enroll
ment pressures in higher edu
cation is that colleges will
look more and more to the
high schools to take over some
of the present freshman
courses. An official of the col
lege board has predicted that
within ten years the best col.
leges will be able to admit
only those students who have

the college freshman year in
