...Fulbert Youlou, Premier of the new Republic of Congo is not a man to want to join a federation that may cut down his own power within his present preserve. The abbe's more statesmanlike neighbor to the north, Strongman Barthelemy Boganda, of the former French territory of Ubangi-Shari -now grandly called the Central African Republic* fears that in the fragmentation of French Equatorial African states, the young republics might fall victim to a "new colonialism...

And because it broadcasts only in the evening and leans heavily on recordings, the Third can get by with a permanent staff of 15, headed by 45-year-old Harman Grisewood. An Oxford graduate who came up through the BBC ranks as an actor and announcer, Grisewood often acts as his own talent scout. Pipelines to the universities and London literary circles help him find out who is at work...
