UN To Be Asked To Tighten Procedure On New Members Editor's note: This U the itcond of Hire dispatchi's on the emer gence of nine African lerrltortei as Independent states Willi prob able Independence lor five more before the end of tills year. This dispatch assesses the eflert of this development on the United Nations and world affairs. By HUGH WATERFIELD London (UPD - Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, prime minister of Ghana, said recently his gov ernvent will ask the United Nations to tighten up its pro cedure on the admission of new members. Nkrumah said former colo nial territories, emerging to independence, are "loo often admitted to the United Na tions as nothing more than satellites, depending on their former colonial masters, who can order them how to vote." The Ghana leader made this declaration on the same day that four more African members of the French com munity - the Ivory Coast, Up per Volla, Dahomey and the Niger Republic - announced their intention of demanding complete independence. His statement came earlier this month shortly after the U. N. Security Council had recommended the admission as members of two French administered trust territories - Cameroon and Togo. Can Expect Divisions The importance of the dec laration lies less In the pro posal itself, which even some of Nkrumah's slaunchcst sup porters here regard as unreal istic, than in the light it throws on the divisions which can be exneclcd between Af rican and Afro-Asian mem bers of the U.N. By the end of this year, African states may account for 22 and the Afro-Asian bloc for 32 of a total U. N. membership of 95. African nationalists point ed to the frequent accusations of both sides in the cold war that their opponents are "sat ellites" cither of the Soviet Union or the United Slates. Among nations alleged to be dictating policy to ex-colonial "satellites," Nkrumah named Great Britain, France and Belgium. Nkrumah's statement Indi cated to African nationalists in London that on major world questions he expects a division among African mem bers of the U. N. between lliunc committed to neutral- Ism and those who can be ex pected to support the West Two Are Neutrals At present, there are only two neutralist African states - Ghana and Guinea. Soma Jia, under strong Arab influ ence, also is expected to take a strong stand for neutral ism after it achieves inde pendence. The largest and potential Jy most powerful African state, Nigeria, has declared for the West. But It has left the door open in the event the West docs not come up Try and By BENNETT CERF- rpHE QUESTION AND ANSWER MAN: Q. How can I stop my child from spilling food at the tabic? A.

Observers felt that broad er world Questions And East- West relations probably play ed only a small part, if any, in motivating Nkrumah s dec laration.

Some leading African poli ticians generally regard , the com war ana its problems, even the issue of Communism or democracy, as totally irrel evant to their affairs, A typical comment is: "The Communists have never wor ried us, so why should we worry about them?

Youth To Die In Florida Chair Miami -IUPII- Dennis Whit ney, 17, facing the death pen alty for one of seven killings he admitted, will be the youngest white man to go to the electric chair in Florida if the sentence is carried out before he Is 20. A Dade county jury found him guilty of murder In the first degree Tuesday and failed to recommend mercy, making the death sentence mandatory. His attorneys said they would appeal. The Judge Is expected to hand down the sentence In about a week. The appeal will be announced to the court then, the attornoys said. Florida has electrocuted one 16-year-old Negro, but the youngest white man to die In the chair at Ralford Prison was 20. Stop Mb m mmmmmmMmmmmamKi'-!'"''

Above is Seattle's answer, designed by artist William Werr back and flown to Washington, D.C., along with 10 pounds of fresh clams, by Ivar lloglund, a Seattle seafood restaurant man, Covering Political Conventions Huge Task Washington - (UPD - The real news of a political convention often breaks far behind the razzle-dazzle In the conven tion hall Itself. Because of this fact, cover age of major party conven tions - like those in July in Los Angeles and Chicago - is one of the most complicated and difficult tasks which newspapers and wire services face. To do the Job properly re quires months of planning, the Installation of elaborate communications facilities, and - above all - a large staff of experienced newspaper men who've been through all this before and know where and what to watch. Big Staff United Press International, for example, will mobilize a staff of more than 100 report e r s, editors, photographers and technicians in Los Ange les to cover the Democratic Convention beginning July 11 and In Chicago for the Re publican National Convention starting July 28. Most of them will be veteran of many pre vious conventions. If you watch the convention sessions on television, you'll be able to see some of them at work In the press box, di rectly alongside the speakers' rostrum! You may spot others mingling with the delegates on the floor, and sending re ports to the press box by walkie-talkie radio. .. ' But there will be many more whom you can't see. They will be watching the smoke-filled rooms - which, Incidentally, are no fiction. They will be keeping round-the-clock vigils on candidates and their headquarters, on key delegations and king makers. They will be writing and editing and transmitting millions of words of news copy, and processing thou sands of pictures, in the back stage workrooms which are the nerve centers of conven tion coverage. Wilson To Write The shock troops of the UPI news corps will be 31 mem bers of the Washington Bu reau, with more than 600 years of collective experience in handling political news. Among them will be Lyle C. Wilson, UPI vice president and Washington manager, who will write daily inter pretive columns; Raymond Lahr, chief political writer; William Thels, chief of the Senate staff; Frank Eleazer, chief of the House staff; and Merrlman Smith, White House reporter. More than a dozen other reporters from all parts of the country - each a specialist In the politics of his particular area - will be on hand to keep In intimate touch with pivotal state delegations. Past exper ience Indicates that these re gional experts are very likely to turn up the unexpected, crucial break of the conven tion. Additional Manpower UPI's West Coast bureaus, and particularly the beleag uered "host bureau" at Los Angeles, will pour in addi tional manpower. The same will be true at Chicago. In addition to the legion of "legmen," as reporters are known in their trade, the con vention staff will Include a large number of seasoned news photographers like Frank Cancellare and Pulitzer Prize-winner Andrew Lopez; feature writers like Dick West, who will continue his widely used "Lighter Side" column from the conventions; top rewrite men like Joseph L. Myler and Robert Bark doll, who can wrap a dozen fresh developments Into a smooth new lead for a story in no time at all; editrri like Ernest Barcella, Grant Dilb man and William B.

Haglund felt that the sardine is ill-equipped to be a symbol of U.S. greatness. He said that the clam Is hard shelled and tight-lipped, a lesson which he said could be used by our statesman. (UPI Telephoto) for Wire News is a highly perishable commodity and once gathered it must be delivered fast to newspapers, broadcasting sta tions and the ultimate con sumer - you. To insure swift transmission of convention news, UPI will have an elab orate communications net work. It begins with walkie-talkie radios carried by reporters, and special open - line tele phones installed at key points in the convention halls and at hotel headquarters all over both convention cities. These feed into workrooms which actually are temporary UPI bureaus - one backstage at the convention hall, and the other in the main head quarters' hotel. Both of these bureaus will file dispatches Local Accountant Named to Board Ethel Mclntyre, Medford public accountant, was elect ed to the board of governors of the Oregon Association of Public Accountants at a Joint Oregon Washington conven tion in Portland recently. Master of ceremonies was R. A. (Bob) Brewer, Medford, a former president of the OAPA. He presided at a luncheon Saturday and pre sented convention reports. Walter Fleet, Klamath Falls, was also named a board member along with Keith Billings, Portland, newly elected president of OAPA.

A number of special overflow wires also will be cut into these bureaus to transmit regional news and features. The main Telephoto and radio news wires also will be tied in to the con vention bureaus for direct transmission. Logistical Planning Preparing for convention coverage Involves logistical planning comparable to that which an army must under take before going into battle. Every detail - from laying in a supply of paper clips to pick ing the staff - must be work ed out in advance. There are hotel rooms to be found, plane and train reservations to be made, wire circuits to be laid out, workrooms to be rented and furnished, and a dozen arrangements commit tees to be wrangled with. Julius Frandsen. UPI Wash- ington news editor, who will be in charge of the convention news staff, has been at work on these plans and prepara tions since last fall, along with C. Edmonds Allen, director of special services; Henry Rleger, Los Angeles bureau manager, and Gene Gillette, Central Division news man ager at Chicago. Executive supervision o f the entire convention oper ations will be in the hand of UPI President Frank H. Bartholomew; Earl J. John son, eidtor; and Roger Tatar Ian, managing editor. The photographic staff will be under direction of Frank Tremaine, general newsplc tures manager, and Harold Blumenfeld. executive editor. Radio Also Served A wire service serves broad casting stations as well as newspapers. The Radio Divis ion of UPI will be represented at the conventions by a spec ial sta or tts own. headed by Washington commentator George Marder. United Press Movietone will. have seven camera crews at each convention, plus a staff of writers, reporters with cameras and sound technic ians with equipment ranging from tiny tape recorders to remote equipment for record ing sound at a distance. A daily video circuit of at least one hour will be operated na tionwide to service convention film to clients. There also will be a special UPI convention wire - usual ly called a "ticker service" - which will carry the latest bulletins to a host of people who are involved in the con vention themselves. Among the subscribers to this service are the headquarters of po litical candidates and the con vention bureau of newspapers and broadcasters. Not even this long report exhausts the list of specialists who are necessary to a smooth working convention news team. Among the numerous backstage technicians, lor ex ample, will be professional computer operators armed with high speed Smlth-Cor-ona-Marchant electronic tab ulating devices. They can keep simultaneous running totals for dozen candidates on roll call votes, and are so accurate that the official con vention tally clerks have sometimes turned to UPI to help them straighten out their own records after a frantic spate of vote-switching on the floor.

Pratley, Klamath National forest engineer, has an nounced. About 20 miles of the road will be subject to traffic con trol for light automotive ve hicles and closed entirely on Saturday and Sunday for truck and trailer combina tions in o r de r to preclude dusting, he added. This precaution, he said, Is taken to permit the safest pos sible application and absorp tion of an oil coat, as well as to avoid excessive spattering of oil on vehicles. The restric tion will apply for the week ends of July 4, 9, and 16 and possibly the weekend of July 23. . According to the forest service, this is one of the longest such projects yet un dertaken in this region using specially formulated dust abatement oil to facilitate maintenance of the "high standard" timber access road LIZ IS SICK New York - UPD - Actress Elizabeth Taylor, confined to bed with acute bronchitis, Was unable to attend a "Ro man orgy" .Tuesday night.

He knows that a floral garland around the neck is a commonly accepted form of greeting in the East but he can't help feeling fun ny about it. Wearing the traditional let is as customary in Hawaii, for example, as wearing a necktie in New York. When the President arrived in Hon olulu, the pretty wife of Gov. William F. Qulnn draped the chief executive in lei of large red flowers and planted a big kiss on his check. He blushed hotter than the Hawaiian mid day sun. New Lets Added Then, on his last night in Hawaii, the Qulnns entertain ed the President as a recep tion. He got through the door unscathed, but the first group of women he encountered placed a big lei of white glner blossoms over his head. As the President moved around the room, other Hawailans ad ded new leis until finally the President's neckline disap peared and little was visible above the flowers but nis nose and sunburned forehead. As soon as he could grace fully do it, the President shucked the flowers before leaving the party. When he was in Manila, he was told the proper form of evening attire was a barong tagolog, an extremely thin, finely embroidered white shirt worn with the tails out. Told that his host, President Carlos P. Garcia, was wear ing a barong to dinner, the President self-consciously did likewise, but he seemed morti iled when photographers be gan shooting his picture in the shirt. Barbara Eisenhower had a good time on the trip, par ticularly in Hawaii when she and her husband, Lt. Col John S. Eisenhower, had i good bit' of free time and were not burdened with cere monial engagements.
