...Union of South Africa, who died last week, out to keep what he regarded as the inferior black majority of his countrymen in permanent subjection. After him came the face of Black Africa nationalism- Ghana's Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah in 1953. In the north, the same anticolonial stir-ups agitated the Arabs, and TIME showed the faces of King Mohammed V of Morocco, which won its independence in 1956, and of Ferhat Abbas, head of Algeria's rebel government-in-exile, whose story is not yet finished. Now comes young, vigorous Sékou Tour...
NOTHING will stir a Filipino newsman into excited conversation faster these days than a mention of Jim Bell, TIME'S Hong Kong bureau chief. Last week two big Philippine newspapers, the Manila Times and Bulletin, protested editorially against President Carlos Garcia's recent decision to ban Bell from the Philippines for reporting the corruption and increasing anti-Americanism of Garcia's government (TIME, Feb. 2).

Communists, strong in the new labor organization but weak elsewhere, will try to stir anti-U.S. hatreds. Che Guevara, a frank proCommunist, will give Communism all the help he can in the new army. A Communist-lining journalist, Carlos Franqui, is in a powerful spot as editor of the official rebel newspaper, Revolución. But Cubans know the U.S. too well to swallow the usual Communist whoppers. Any party that wins free elections in Cuba will doubtless be in the Western camp...
