Stopping off in Accra for a few hours talk with Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah-whose lordly behavior makes a strong appeal to nationalist leaders like Lumumba -he flew on to London. A passel of Fascist-minded Mosleyites picketed the Ritz Hotel where Lumumba stopped, and Ghana's High Commissioner in Britain, Sir Edward Asafu-Adjaye, was knocked down by two of the Mosleyites, whose slogan is "Keep Britain White!" Unscathed, as usual, Patrice Lumumba reached New York's Idlewild airport this week. Speaking to a dawn patrol of newsmen, Lumumba said softly that peace in Congo...
