...majority wants first to cooperate with the governor and show that it is a stable and permanent political force. For a beginning, they wanted to see the government put some of its new $7,000,000 rehabilitation fund into low-income housing for the poor who now live in tin-roofed packing-crate huts. "Hear, hear," murmured the black men in their patched shirts and faded dungarees. Britain's newest experiment in developing responsible self-rule was already under...

On helmets, as drinking cups and bugles--horns are on everything except the script, which wears a beard.
