18 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, August 13, 1958 Africa Changing Fast Woman Writer Says WASHINGTON -- Africa's jungle ing new communities from the drums still throb, but they are |groun heard today by peoples in the midst of change. Continent in transition, land of new consciousess -- this is the Africa described in the August ' National Geographic Magazine by an observant world traveler, Elsie May Bell Grosvenor, daughter of Alexander Graham Bell and wife of the president of the National Geographic Society, Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor. ; With three maps and 32 pages of outstanding color pictures, Mrs. Grosvenor tells of a 30,000-mile, three - month "Safari Through Changing Africa". She made the trip with her husband, partly as a delayed celebration of their golden wedding anniversary, partly to ather new material and new ideas or the National Geographic. FROM SLAVES TO SCHOOLS Although the Grosvenors had been to Africa before, the countries they saw now seemed far different. Gone are planes, medicine men, and Zulu wars. In their place are jeeps and trucks, hydroelectric plants, modern hospitals" and schools -- and Africans learning to govern themselves. Scientists battle the scourge of the tsetse fly that for generations has devastated vast regions of Afri- ca with the terror of sleeping sick- ness. In Nigeria, Mrs. Grosvenor talked with men who have cleared hundreds of square miles of this human and animal plague, build- up. She nded the historic first meeting of an elective parliament in northern Nigeria. Sultans and tribal chieftains in turbans and silk and satin robes took their oaths ofr office in a shining new government building. Africa's women, long secluded in their homes, are venturing out to serve as nurses in missionary hospitals. Girls are allowed to at- tend schools. Johannesburg, Africa's largest city south of the Sahara, did not even exist 70 years ago. Gold mines, some more than 9,000 feet deep have lined "Jo'burg's" streets today with skyscrapers. Even, so, on Sundays native miners forget "civilization" and dance to primitive rhythms in barbaric leo- pardskin costumes. LAND OF THE WHITE RHINOCEROS Flying over Cape Town's Table Mountair, the Grosvenors looked down on the tip of Africa, rounded by Bartholomeu Dies in 1488. Air- planes are the taxicabs of modern Africa, Mrs. Grosvenor found -- but that did not prevent her from trying a ride on an ostrich. There were other contrasts. In Port Elizabeth, a new dial tele- phone system had just been in- stalled (headlines startled the au- thoress with the words, 'Thanks to Mr. Bell-"). But in Southern Rhodesia, she traveled far into the America's Asian Policy Scares British By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP)--With cartoons and uneasy editorials, British news- papers Wednesday give further vent to suspicions about United States policy in Asia. Press treatment of such issues as the forthcoming political con- ference on Korea, and the 16-power declaration on what might happen if the armistice is broken, indi- cates growing concern over appar- ents Anglo-American differences of | pe, approach in the far east. The situation seems similar to that two years ago, when conflicts over relations with Communist China appeared likely to threaten the basic unity of the Atlantic alliance. The Times, in its main editorial Wednesday, sharply criticized the |}, declaration by 16 United. Nations countries made public last Satur- day. The key sentence of the dec- past when she saw the ancient, baffling ruins of Zimbabwe, tem- pled city built by an unknown peo- ple at an unknown time. In the wilds of the Hluhluwe Game Reserve and in Kruger Na- tional Park, the Grosvenors phto- tographed lions, giraffes, antelopes, and six rare representatives of a vanishing race, the white rhinoc- eros. But it was in such places as the University of the Witwatersrand, where 4,000 students take courses in the arts and sciences, medicine, law, ahd engineering, that Mrs. Grogvenor and felt Africa's mod- ern tempo and direction. Experts laration is an affirmation that a event of a breach of the arm tice, "in all probability, it a not be possible to confine hostili- ties within the frontiers of Korea." The Times calls this "deceptive and dangerous," warning that threatening policies should never be announced uless there is a readiness to carry them out. A favorite American target for British critics is State Secretary John Foster Dulles, who is re- garded as having come off second st in his talks with Korean President Syngman Rhee. A car- toonist in the right-wing Daily Ex- press pictured Dulles coming home from Korea minus most of his. clothes. David Low .in the independent Liberal Manchester Guardian pre- sented Dulles in the likeness of a ked fish, extending to President Eisenhower the fishing rod which Dr. Rhee sent as a gift to the president. 'This is Low in his most acid mood. The Yorkshire Post, Conservative editorially supported the theme of the cartoonists, saying it looks as though Dulles 'made himself 'the instrument of Dr. Rhee's potential blackmail." BRITISH GENERAL DEAD TYWFORD England (AP)--Lt.- Gen. Sir Niel Mason-MacFarlane, head of the Allied control commis- sion in occupied Italy in 1944, died Wednesday. He was 63.
