Last week, days after her arrest and her announcement that "naturally" she would resign from the school board, Mrs. Maughmer was still a board member. No one could find any law that compelled her to resign, but Houston parents were signing petitions to ask of her at least that one little favor...
...truth" and Communist propaganda. Allied with anyone who will cooperate, from Communists to sincere social work ers, they organize July 26 movements, show films of revolutionary progress, lend a hand in subversive plots, campaign for support among the backland peasants. In Venezuela last week, cops set out to arrest the leader of the July 26 movement after clashes of pro-and anti-Castro rioters and fatally shot him in a doorway.

A mission-educated nationalist fanatic who spent 17 years in England and Europe, where he made himself an expert in primitive anthropology and published a scholarly work on Kikuyu customs, Kenyatta diabolically parodied the traditional religion of his people in Mau Mau ritual-much as occultists did in the legendary Black Mass. In fact, reports Corfield, Kenyatta's work showed "at least a passing acquaintance...
