...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...

Then they set off on a barnstorming tour sponsored by Manhattan's American Committee on Africa, a liberal pressure group that is headed by the Rev. (Methodist) George M. Houser. 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...
