Wednesday on the front page "of the Brussels newspaper Lei Dernier Ileiire, Schweitzer said the old Congo stale was formed "by persuasion and by the force of arms, by forcing African peoples, big and small, to be part of it." lie said the colonial era in Africa is over. The former Belgian Congo, he said, now is made up of two parts, neither of which has claims on, or ob ligations, to the other. 1 "Juridically they arc abso lutely independent one from the other," Schweitzer wrote. "No war, undertaken by one against the other lo submit it in whatever fashion, has any juridical foundation. "No foreign country can as sume lo have the right to want lo force one of these two inde pendents to submit itself to "the other. It is incomprehen sible that in our days a for eign stale is in war with Ka langa lo force it to pay its dues lo the other Congolese stale. One wonders how a civilized stale can undertake such a thing." ', This was obvious reference lo demands by the Central 'Congolese governmenl, sup ported by the United Nations, .that Katanga should share its -income lrom its rich mineral resources with the rest of the Congo. X Schweitzer noted that iho UN mission is not to make var, and added: " "Reason and justice thus de jnand that both this foreign .state (the Central Govern ment) and the United Nations Immediately withdraw their .troops from Katange.se terri--.tiuy and recognize and re "Rpcct in the future iliat coun '.ry's independence."

OREGON ty in Nyasaland on the under standing that the right of se cession from the federation would be recognized soon. Federal Prime Minister Sir Roy Welensky and his United Federal parly now stand com pletely isolated in central Af rican politics, and his depar ture from the political scene is regarded here as a matter of brief time. Deputy Prime Minister R. A. Butler, the British govern ment's minister in charge of central African affairs, met in secret for a week wilh three leading Rhodesian federal cab inet ministers to discuss the future of Ihe federation. Welensky sent his three top aides as emissaries to London in a last minute effort to halt the break-up of the federation. But apparently the mission failed. Last Friday Welensky an nounced in Salisbury that he was recalling the Federal par liament. It had not been due to meet until Feb. 4. Butler is expected lo make an announcement any day in the house of commons on cen tral African affairs. He was expected to an nounce a date for his visit to the federation early in the new year for talks wilh fed eral and territorial leaders.

The arrival of Winston Field on Southern Rhodesia's politi cal stage with a government pledge to maintain white rule has given the British govern ment one of its toughest prob lems since it began handing over colonial power to the people of Africa following World War II. Bill of Rights Under the constitution in Southern Rhodesia, Britain handed over its control of Af rican rights to the government of Southern Rhodesia in re turn for a bill of rights for Africans being written into tile new constitution. If Field s declared policy of racial segregation were lo in fringe the guaranteed rights of Africans, the British Bovern- ! ment would be constitutional. ly able to annul the constitu tion. But the power to carry this out and take over the govern ment of the territory might mean sending out British troops to fight, according to observers there. Even a threat to do this might throw Southern Rho desia Into the arms of South Africa, they have said.

The boy's name is Earl. He had been taken under court direction to St. Joseph's Home for the Friendless. Officials of the home would say only that his story was a tragic one. He cried continuously. There were 101 other chil dren, but he couldn't accept them. The gentle nuns cajoled him, mimicked him, loved him, but couldn't release him from what they called a "fear reaction." His mother had been a good woman, they said, and had kept him very close. After a few days his cheeks were puffed and ruddy. He hadn't eaten. He clutched a nun's robe in his tiny hand and held on, but he wouldn't snuggle. Mascot Goes Along Fifteen blocks away at Fifth Army headquarters, four sol diers loaded 150 Christmas presents into a station wagon. They took along Kip, the mascot for the haedquarter's newspaper. Sister Martha Joseph greet ed the uniformed young men and led them to a meeting hall. A large aluminum Christ mas tree stood in the center of the room. The soldiers un for your SERVICEMAN Dog Brings Ray of Into Heart of Child loaded the gifts and stacked them under the tree. Sister Martha Joseph sig naled and 101 youngsters, none over age 9, filed in wide eyed. Then a loud crying came down the hall. Earl entered, tears streaming and his hand clutching the nun's robe. A soldier tried to talk lo Earl but his cries became louder. Kip Shivers It was cold outside. Kip, who had just come along for the ride, was shaking badly in the car even wilh a heavy wool coat. One of the soldiers brought the old dog in. The children went wild when they saw her. When the nuns quieted them, it was agreed Kip would be allowed off his leash if the children would not grab her. The sol dier slipped off the leash. The big, old dog sniffed the 101 outstretched hands, ig nored them and walked quick ly to the crying boy. She gave Earl a big lick square in the face. The boy put up a hand to fend off more advances and Kip nuzzled him horsclike in the tummy. He plopped sit ting on the floor and grabbing in reflex, caught Kip's coat. Sound Different The dog gave him another rmt ine subscriber will receive an attractive Gift Card if you wish. slobbering kiss. Earl squealed. But the sound was different. The small boy stood up and petted the dog. Then he put his arm around her neck and rested his head on her ear. Ha smiled. The boy and the dog were together the rest of the after noon. When finally the sol diers gently separated them. Earl sniffed but didn't cry out loud. When he walked away, he took the nun's hand in stead of her robe. Sister Martha said today the boy has slept and eaten well since then. This morning, when he cried, just for a short time, he snuggled against one of the nuns. Alaska Air Station .
