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. The Federation consists of Nyasaland, copper-rich Northern Rhodesia, and Southern Rhodesia, the last being the only one of the three that includes a large (211,000) white settler population. It is Southern Rhodesia...
Cheers & Tactics. Last week an audience of 1,500 Americans in Manhattan's Town Hall chanted "NOW, NOW, NOW," as Spellbinder Kaunda yelled, "FREEDOM, Africa!", and cheered stumpy Hastings Banda (who spent 15 years in the U.S. before the war, studied at the University of Chicago and Nashville's Meharry Medical College) as he proclaimed: "We are not anti-white or anti-British; we are anti-domination...
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.

An ascetic who once lived for weeks on roots and berries on a wild hillside, Kaunda says, "Africans are treated like dogs, and it is time they showed their teeth." He and his first lieutenant, Munukayumbwa Sipalo, are heroes to nationalists, who share their antiwhite views ("A two-legged thing whose color is white must be hated," Sipalo told a meeting before he too was jailed...
...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. "It is with no enthusiasm that we who have been nurtured in the tradition...
