Over the hammering of the rain on the tin roof of a tobacco shed, the burly, shaggy-browed six-footer boomed into a microphone: "I know that the African National Congress is saying. 'Freedom at any price!' This is an emotional appeal to a not-so-advanced people. I hope those who talk this way realize what would become of the ordinary black man in this country." The speaker: Sir Roy Welensky, 51, Prime Minister of Britain's Central Africa Federation, stumping for his party just before last week's national election. In the shed...

Last year he began to find the position "worrisome," and retired to Palm Beach to paint. Now 64, and one year old as an artist, Nemerov is happy and unworried. Last week a Manhattan gallery put on a show of his crude but luminous and intensely colorful pictures based mainly on French impressionism.
