...strapping ex-boxer who speaks for the white settlers, stormed: "The vicious influence of African nationalism has apparently turned the bone marrow of many metropolitan countries to jelly. I intend to stem that tide if it is within my power." Northern Rhodesia's leading black nationalist, Kenneth Kaunda, in pressing for the black majority rule he had promised his followers back home, condemned the constitution as "British betrayal." Warned Harry Nkumbula, who is Kaunda's chief black rival: "Anything can happen." Sir Roy's answer was to call up 5,000 army reserves to "deal with...
Three from One. Newest arrivals: Dr. Hastings Banda, 55, of Nyasaland, and Kenneth Kaunda, 36, of Northern Rhodesia, two African leaders who are united in the determination to destroy the Central African Federation, a nation tacked together by Britain in 1953 in a desperate effort to make a stable, viable country out of three dissimilar territories carved out of the bush by Empire Builder Cecil Rhodes.

Next week Banda flies back to London to continue his negotiations with the British government, but Kaunda has a month-long schedule of visits to Washington, the Mid-West, and the South. High point: a meeting with some young U.S. Negro leaders of the lunch-counter campaign in the South, to compare notes on tactics...
...model prisoner, Kaunda finishes his jail term in January, and at that point, Northern Rhodesia's governor, Sir Evelyn Hone, expects trouble to begin. Last week he prepared to have enacted a new "public security" bill that will give him more drastic powers than any colonial governor has ever had in a British territory not in a state of war or emergency. The governor would be able to control the territory's press, prohibit meetings, conscript labor and supplies, and detain troublemakers without trial.
