Nkrumah had the votes to have his way, and the power to enforce it, and plainly intended to continue de-stooling chiefs and deporting opponents. Like the soldiers who have lately taken power all over Southeast Asia, Nkrumah, no soldier, argues that the classic restraints of 18th century constitutional liberalism do not fit the situation he confronts. But on him-and on them-rests the burden of proof that backward steps will result in greater steps forward...

Prepaid Signal. While Pius XII lay dying inside the cream-colored stone walls of Castel Gandolfo, his summer residence 15 miles southeast of Rome, 200 newsmen gathered for the courtyard deathwatch.

...South, a new challenger appeared for the Southeast Conference title when Louisiana State sprang Backs Billy Cannon and Red Brodnax loose on Miami in a 41-0 slaughter. Less impressive was Defending Champion Auburn, defensively superb but unimaginative on offense in a plodding 8-0 victory over Kentucky. ¶ Wisconsin's crunching defense dogged Purdue passers all day, cashed two pass interceptions and a blocked kick for scores in a 31-6 victory. ¶ On the West Coast, Halfback Dick Bass maintained his lead as the nation's leading ground-gainer, averaged 11.3 yds. a carry...
