Scoutmaster Bob Hawkins placed a neckerchief on Kenya Constitutional Conference Set I' ci Pratt 1 LONDON (UPI) - The Kenya Constitutional conference opens hoie next Wednesday to make final arrangements for Kenya's independence on Dec. 12. For the first time in British colonial history an independence date has been announced in ad vance of the final conference which decides the terms of sev erence of the colonial tie. And never has a British col ony come into independence in an atmosphere of such uncer tainly over the future of its rronomy. the rights of its mi nority peoples and the eventual form' of its constitution and gov ernment. The ruling government party the Kenya African National Un ion (KAXU) and the main opposition party the Kenya Afncon Democratic Union (KADU) are still deeply di vided over the questions. Wheth er agreement is reached at the foithcoming conference or not, lire 12 as the date for inde pendence will remain unchang ed. I.efl hy Prime Minister The Kenya government will he represented at. the confer ence hy 10 fop KANU cabinet ministers led by Prime Minister .lomo Kenyatta. KADU. the opposition party, will send five delegates led by party leader Ronald Ngala. Kenya's European community will he represented by three non- polnical delegates. I The five main questions on j I he agenda will be: the future j form of constitution, citizenship, tlio future ol the Somalis in the j northern frontier district, admin- j juration of the coastal strip; and finance. ; The present internal self-gov-i crn;ni constitution came into pile:. I last June following the elect ions in which Jomo Ken yatta became prime minister and his KAXU party took over the government. It is based on the principle ni iccionalism with much of the power ol the central government in the hands of seven regional administrations.

The 'np -'v fir;: iu-vv fJMi ndependence Arrangements Kikuyu and Luo tribes who sup port the KANU party. Now in opposition, Ngala is determined that regionalism ! shall remain entrenched in the 1 constitution. Because they won the last election KANU leaders believe they have the right to alter the constitution to give more cen tralized power and reduce the size and influence of the region al governments. The constitution cannot be changed without a 75 per cent approving vote by the lower legislative house and a 90 per cent vote by the Senate, the upper house. Ngala has threatened that the coastal province and the im portant Rift valley region will secede if the KANU government attempts to cut the powers of the regions. The regional principle was reached as a compromise and by solemn agreement and any attempt to overturn it almost certainly would provoke bitter tribal outbursts. Already t h e smaller tribes are restive at the slow development of the region al administrations. The second important prob lem which must be settled at the conference is citizenship. Kenya's population was estimat ed in 1961 at seven million Af ricans, 66,000 Europeans and 200.000 Asians. .Many Fear for Safety Many of the Europeans and Asians fear for their personal and economic safety in an in dependent Kenya with an inde pendent government pledged to alter the constitution. If a mass exodus of Europeans and Asians is to be avoided on independence, time must be giv en to these people to decide whether they want to become citizens of the new state. The general thinking is that an agreed period of two years will be given them to reach a final decision whether to become Kenya citizens without in the meantime losing their constitu tional rights. In the semi-arid northern fron tier district, forming nearly one quarter of Kenya's land mass, live about 120,000 nomadic So mali herdsmen who in race, re ligion and culture resemble their fellow tribesmen in the Somali Republic to the north. They are determined to secede and join Somalia when Kenya t 'ii fr.LMiri m tmii Em Medford's visitor from the city's "sister city," Alba, Italy, as members of Troop 7 assisted.

They re fused to take part in the last Kenya elections or assist in set ting up a regional administra tion. In mid-August a conference was held in Rome among Kenya government leaders, representa tives of the British colonial of fice and the Somali Republic to discuss the question. The KANU government refus ed to consider handing over the Somalis to Somalia and the British government refused to make such an important deci sion affecting Kenya's future on the eve of its independence. So the conference ended with no decision.

The question will certainly be discussed at this week's confer ence and British officials are expected to attempt to extract some promise from the Kenya government to negotiate with the Somali government on the subject. The Kenya coastal strip is 22 miles wide and runs three-quarters of the length of Kenya's coastline. It includes the major port of Mombassa. The sultan of Zanzibar has for centuries claimed sovereignty over the strip but since Kenya became a colony it has been adminis tered by the Kenya government. Britain has paid the sultan an annual rent of $280,000. The sultan has now agreed for the strip to become part of an independent Kenya. The final pay-off will be discussed at the conference. Kenya has been heavily sub sidized by Britain and the ques tion of the final "golden hand shake from Britain will be an important subject for discussion at the conference table.

'You know what your own offense is; it's best to find out what the other fellow has," Blaik would tell his players. If the Blaik formula is em ployed when he and former Army Secretary Kenneth C. Royall reach Birmingham as President Kennedy's personal 'envoys" in the racial crisis there, they probably will do a lot of listening to folks on all sides of the issue. The following might be a typi cal, if hypothetical, question and answer session between the presidential representatives and white and Negro people of Birm ingham. Some Negroes Well Known Q. The sign at the airport says "We are glad to have you in Birmingham," What do we have here? A. People. Birmingham has a metropolitan population of about 600,000. Four out of ten are Negroes. Some of the Ne groes are well known, like A. G. Gaston. He's a millionaire. Some have cood paving jobs and nice homes. Many more still live in row houses. There are some profitable Negro business ven tures but Negroes mostly worn for the white people. 0. What provides most of the jobs for working people here? A. Coal and steel and all the frabicaling and processing plants that go along wun sucn industries. Q. What seems to be the trouble here? A. People again. Race is the issue that's bringing all the trouble right now, but the root problem is a feeling of fear and lack of a sense of trust and dignity. It goes through a seg ment of the Negro population. But a part of the white popula tion also has this feeling of fear and distrust. Most of the trouble involves these two By Jimmy Hatlo MALE WORKERS TWINK THEY'VE 60T AM ELEV4TOR AT LAST-THEN v-ii jcc -n ic i;a i r icnr... J3 e.j.-RiP"t?eiuY, CLEVELAND 35. Hr&'X. 0,0 . .imf groups, either fighting against each other or fighting outside agencies such as the police. Q. Then aren't we talking about relatively small percent ages of the population of Bir mingham? A. That is rorrecl. Most of the riots and rowdy demonstra tions involve no more than 1,000 persons. The highest num ber has been about 5,000. Of course, this is a sufficient num ber to be a real menace to law and order. Q. Are these people connect ed with the so-called non-voilent movement which has been con ducting a desegregation cam paign in Birmingham the Mar tin Luther King organization? A. Most are not in King's group. Some were and fell by the wayside. King has told Ne groes publicly he will not have them if they are violent. He takes them back when they re pent. Q. After these bombings, Ne groes often flock into the streets and start throwing things at the police who are trying to get to the scene. Why is tms.' A. This is hard to explain. It goes back to a basic dis trust and lack of faith in the police. The Negro clement that tights in the streets keep de manding that the police find the BomBers. But it goes deeper than thai. This group has felt over the years that the police man is an enemy. Suddenly, these Negroes have become part of a sort of revolution. A change is going on in their lives that they don't understand yet. They have the notion now that at least they can well to put it bluntly stick their tongues out at the cops. It's gone from that to rocks and guns. They are let ting loose some long pent-up feelings. Oliedlent Through Fear Q. But they are breaking laws. Don't they know this must stop? A. Ihe people who are break ing the laws in Birmingham have been obedient only through fear of being caught, not respect for law. That fear is gone. When their passions flare now as a result of a bombing, they take out their feelings on anybody who is white. Q. What do the Negroes want in Birmingham? A. They say it's freedom. Many don't even know. Their leaders say they want most a sense of dignity, of being part of the whole community. It will take a real show of good faith for this to be accomplished. Q. Where can a start he made? A. Negroes say they want more meetings of the bi-racial committee with Negroes partici pating. They want a few first class Negro policemen. They say they want to feel that their interests, homes and self re spect are getting the same pro tection as that of all the white people. 185 E. Main St. Phone: 482-2431, Ashland L'rte insurance available on ill ioani at low group rates MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23. 1963 Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn W. Witkini fuglitftr & Tribune Syndicate, 1963; These Barn Owls Became Steeple Owls by Choice Their ancestors built nests in hollow trees deep within a for est, and later generations nest ed in isolated or little used barns, naturally becoming known as "barn owls." But this particular pair moved to town and took up residence in a church steeple. Church steeple living would seem to have some violent drawbacks. The weekly clanging of the bell must be a shattering ex perience. Besides, there is an element of danger, the heavy bell swinging ponderously to and fro could give a careless owl a terrific headache. Food for the owls would not be too handy, for tradition has it that a church mouse is a very poor mouse and certainly would not be very filling to a hungry owl or its ravenous children. One big advantage would be lack of enemies, so perhaps the advantages of a bellry nursery over a hollow in a tree would be of some importance. Crow vs. Owl? Being safe from the owl s tra ditional enemy, the crow, would be pretty wonderful, as crows are the bane of all the owl tribes. Every crow in the area thinks every owl in the region is an enemy. This is son of like the skillet calling the kettle black, for the crow's reputation is not loo clean either. But no crow ever attempted to approach any owl that accepted church slceple living. No pesky red squirrels would rob an owl's nest in a belfry; no weasel, mink, or house cat would ven ture into that lofty sanctuary, so perhaps Mr. and Mrs. Barn Owl are nearly as wise as they look. Few Vlsltor Up until the time we decided to visit the lofty owl nest the only visitors were occasional pigeons that, thinking this would be a good place to build their own nests, ascended to tne heights and flew into the belfry. Thcv were not afraid of the great bell that hung there in dignified silence most of the time, but the hissing bird In the corner, with the monkey-like face and ferocious clicking sounds, scared them half to death. They promptly decided to look elsewhere for a nesting site. So. knowing the owls were there and that the great bell would nol ring until the follow ing Sunday, we climbed the ver tical ladder, raised the trap door, and crawled into the bell- loft. She Waa Caught Almost the entire area was occupied by the bell, but in a far corner was Mrs. Owl and two baby owls. She lowered her head and began swinging il from side to side. She clicked her bill with a regular, metallic clack. She knew she had been caught with her feathers down. She hissed like a steam radia tor. However, she decided to stay and face the lesser music offer ed by a pair of curious hu mans. She probably figured whatever the disturbance it couldn't be as bad as the clang ing ol the bell which she en dured every Sunday morning. She and her babies were about a foot Irom the backward swing of the bell. It must be a shatter ing experience. What a thunder ous tumult when the great iron voice speaks out! At such times Mrs. Owl must wonder if the advantages of this location out weigh the disadvantages. MOST TALKED ABOUT LONDON (UPI) - Dr. C. E. Gurr, chief education officer for Middlesex, said in a booklet pub lished today that religion and sex probably take first place among the subjects teen-age girls are anxious lo discuss.
