THE EXTRA CARE LINE
tinent's newest and most pop
ulous country.
Sir Abubakar, the prime
minister of the federation of
Nigeria, said that the path
the new nations of sub-Sahara
Africa take, however, will
"depend on the needs of the
country." . .
The tall! ascetic Negro
leader of 35 million persons
said:
"The colonial powers are
relinquishing a u t h o rity in
Africa and they have intro
duced the democratic system
of government - and we think
this form will continue."
Attracts Attention
Sir Abubakar talked to
United Press International
during his three-day visit to
the United States to attend
the entrance of Nigeria into
the United Nations. .
The 42-year old former
teacher, born in the northern
Nigerian village of Tawafa
Balewa, is the son of a district
commissioner under British
colonial rule.
His stance during his stay
in the U. S. indicated that he
would leave the louder, more
emotional political tactics to
the others. ,
He attracted great attention
wherever he went. The flow
ing, colorful robes and caps
worn by Sir Abubakar and
most of the members of his
official party marked them
clearly as African. - - ',
. His nation was the latest of
16 African countries, most of
them former French colonies,
to be admitted to the world
body during the current gen
eral assembly,
Nigeria, a federation of
three autonomous regions,
gained its independence from
Great Britain on Oct. 1: The
country, a sprawling, divers
ified, land below the bulge of
the West African coastline,
moved smoothly and calmly
to nationhood.
Contrast To Congo
The noise of the gigantic
independence-day celebration
was conspicuous for its hap
piness, a marked contrast to
the newly independent Congo
republic. The Congo's separ
ation from Belgium . which
took place last June 30, set
off a bloody series of inter-racial
and inter-tribal clashes.
Sir- Abubaker returned to
his homeland last week, after
having spent three days in the
United States and three days
in London.
His brief trip to the U: S.
took him from diplomatic
meetings and official lunch
eons at the U. N.- to a one
hour talk with President Eis
enhower in Washington.: ; .
Picture of Great Hope
. The picture in Nigeria, as
explained by the tall, delib
erate Moslem, is one of great
hope for the .future. It con
trasted sharply with the situ
ation in the Congo.
"We have qualified peo
ple," he said, "and we have
experienced people - although
we have need of more.
"We haven't got everything
we need. But we are provided
for."
Sir Abubakar, In a speech
made on arriving in the U. S.,
said that the policy of Nigeria
will be to "follow the path
of truth from whatever quar
ter it comes."
He said that the nation
would be against "blocs," but
was for the UN.
Hospital Costs
To Continue Up
Gearhart - (WD - The execu
tive director of the National
Hospital Association, Dr. Ed
win L. Crosby, said Monday
hospital costs are going to
continue to rise, but that edu
cation costs have gone up
twice as fast.
Dr. Crosby told the Oregon
Hospital Association's 26th
annual convention that hos
pital costs have gone up five
per , cent a year for the past
five years. He said the in
creases mostly reflected the
increase in the cost of living.
By comparison, he said, the
cost of educating a pupil in
school has gone up 200 per
cent in the past 10 years
while the cost of the hospital
patient has risen only 100
per cent.
"Hospital bills do not seem
unreasonable when these facts
are known and the good qual
ity of care given in most of
our hospitals is considered,"
he said.
56 Per Cent of GP
Payrolls in Oregon
, Portland - IUPD - Owen R.
Cheatham, chairman of the
board of Georgia - Pacific
Corp. said Monday that the
firm's total payrolls of about
$50 million annually, 56 per
cent was in Oregon.
He told; the Chamber of
Commerce that Georgia Paci
fic's total employees number
more than 11,000, of. which
6,500 are, in Oregon. "'. .
, Cheatham said the firm
pays but about $26 million a
year for goods and 'services of
which 46 per cent is in Ore
gon.
He said that the firm would
continue to employ a timber
philosophy which would as
sure continued success. "Some
people call it perpetual
growth; some call it sustain
ed yield. But I would like to
coin a new term which seems
to more vividly and fully
describe the process. I would
like to call it 'dynamic con
servation.' " : ; ,: .
Oxford, Miss.-IUPII-Funeral
services were held Monday
for Mrs. Maud Butler Faulk
ner, 88, mother of Nobel
Prize-winning author William
Faulkner. . '
Kennedy
Disadvantage
For
One of Religion
Dallas, Tex. - (UPD -The
presidential race is still so
close in Texas that either can
didate could come up with a
gimmick to catch the atten
tion and favor of the voters
and win the state's 24 elec
toral votes.
The most unbiased political
observers in Texas-the bookmakers-quote
the odds as 6-5
for Nixon. It's at least that
close in a state where all state
officials are Democrats, - the
legislature is 100 per cent
Democratic and only one con
gressman is a Republican.
Sen: John F. Kennedy's big
gest disadvantage is his Cath
olic religion. Texas' one mil
lion voting Baptists don't like
the idea of a Catholic in the
White House.
Re-Entry Helped Nixon
The recent re-entry of Allan
Shivers, who was governor
four terms, into politics, cer
tainly helped rjixon. It was
Shivers who led the Demo
cratic state executive commit
tee into the Eisenhower camp
in 1952.
( He supported Eisenhower
in 1956 and he is now support
ing Nixon. He has explained
all three bolts by saying he is
"putting Texas ahead of the
Demcrratic party."
Shivers soothes the political
consciences of many old-line
Democrats who find it hard to
turn Republican, no matter
how much they like the
GOP's candidates and plat
form. . .
There is a strong rivalry be
tween Shivers and Sen. Lyn
don B. Johnson of Texas, the
Democratic vice presidential
candidate. Johnson took the
state party leadership away
from Shivers in 1956.
Shivers is a handsome man,
a master, or sarcasm and a
clever campaigner.
' When Gerald Mann, direc
tor of the Kennedy-Johnson
campaign in Texas, accused
him of not really being for
either party, Shivers replied:
"You mean old Jerry Mann,
the TCU football player?
Whatever happened to him?"
' Mann tfayed football at
SMU - not TCU - and is a
former attorney, general, '
Voted to Support
On the other hand, a group
of Negro businessmen, profes
sional men and lawyers met
recently in Austin, the state
capital, and voted 44-14 to
support Kennedy.
: The Negro leaders voted on
a motion introduced by C. B.
Bunklcy Jr., of Dallas, who,
at first, included only' Ken
nedy's name in his motion.
After some argument, Bunk
ley agreed to include John
son's name. -
The Negroes voted down a
proposal not to endorse either
ticket. Arguing for the propo
sal, J. L. Thomas of Byan
said: "The Democratic party

Back Stairs: Help for Minnesota GOP
By WILLIAM J. EATON
Red Wing, M i n n. fllPD
Back stairs with the travleing
White House:
President Eisenhower's ap
pearance here today may help
Minnesota Republicans put
the Indian sign on the Demo
crats in the Gopher State this
fall.
The President's participa
tion in dedication ceremonies
for the Hiawatha Bridge over
the Mississippi River has
been billed in advance as
"non-political."
But Minnesota and neigh
boring Wisconsin are listed as
"battleground" states in the
race between Vice President
Richard M. Nixon and Sen.
John F. Kennedy to succeed
Eisenhower in the White
House. ,
Any appearance of the
President in the midst of the
election campaign automati
cally helps the Republicans
even if he doesn't make
stump speeches, political pro
fessionals believe.
GOP officials are hoping
that this theory also will
prove true in the critical
states of Michigan, Califor
nia and Texas. The President

each of them during his
6,728 -mile cross-country
speaking tour.
