Wizard of Oz. In the House of Commons, Oliver Lyttelton's oblique comment on all this unpleasantness was: "The situation in Kenya has, to some extent, changed for the worse." With Lyttelton's approval, Sir Evelyn Baring, governor of Kenya, last week assumed emergency powers to punish whole villages (by confiscating of crops and livestock) for crimes committed in their vicinity. Jomo Kenyatta, exiled boss of the Kenya African Union (KAU), was hauled before a British district commissioner formally charged with "managing the Mau Mau."

Tillon was fired from the politburo, but remained on the central committee. Both were given a month to recant and confess in approved Communist style. Only the fact that Old Heroes Marty and Tillon still have many followers inside the party saved them from immediate disgrace and expulsion.
