...Congo's informal Diplomatic Society for the Preservation of Patrice Lumumba. But last week, soon after Kwame Nkrumah's Ghanaian charge d'affaires was thrown out on his ear for overzealous tinkering in local affairs, the Congo's President Kasavubu bluntly invited Nasser to withdraw the U.A.R.'s plotting Ghaleb and staff as well.

They also ripped into Barren's record as liquor commissioner in the scandal-strewn regime (1953-57) of Democratic Governor William Marland. It was wasted effort; in a Democratic landslide. Barron easily whipped game G.O.P. Challenger Harold Neely, who had been in politics less than three years...
