HISTORY REPEAT? That’s what everyone at Oklahoma City University is hop-
ing will happen. Sandy Carrico, 2034 NW 31, holds a copy of the OCU newspaper,
The Campus, for Jan. 11, 1952, just after the Chiefs won the All-College tourna-
ment. The Chiefs will be trying for the same honor when they take to the
courts in the all-college for 1955. The tourney opens Tuesday in Municipal au-
ditorium. OCU’s team has not lost in college competition this season, but did
lose one to the Peoria, Ill., Caterpillars.

Hearings Set
WASHINGTON (F) — A Senate
Commerce subcommittee plans to
start hearings Jan. 19 into what:
Sen. Monroney (D-Okla) terms
•factory mistreatment" of car
dealers.
Monroney said the hearings will
deal with automobile bootlegging,
excessive credit and other alleged
abuses. Monroney heads the sub-
cor mittee.
He said the group already has
collected considerable preliminary
information, including replies to
questionnaires from about 20,000 of
the country’s approximately 42,000
retail automobile dealers
He said these replies indicate
that dealers are concerned about
what they call mistreatment by
manufacturers, including “pres-
sure ... to take more cars than
needed" and the assumption of "all
financial risk from the time the
car leaves the factory until it fin-
ally paid for by the new car buyer,
sometimes a period of three years
or more."

Tried to Stop

NAIVASHA, Kenya (CDN_
The ruddy, intense man with his
bared head streaming rain spoke
up grimly:
“Mau Mau began here and it'll
end here."
It was stocky Noel Hardy, dis-
trict commissioner who stopped
Mau Mau from pentetrating the
Makemba tribe.
He was soaked with rain be-
cause he was standing in con-

kemba trackwalkers in lonely
railroad stations. Losing the Ma-
kemba means revolt in the army,
sabotage on the railway.
"Why, the city Mau Mau were
so bold they were wearing spe-
cial college boy shoes in Nairobi
itself," said Hardy disdainfully.
“Red piping was for privates,
and blue piping for generals. Gas-
pipe trousers, like London's
teddyboys, too. I told the police:
'Look at their shoes and bring
'em in .”
Hardy has stumbled on a meth-
od of confessions in public that
is not very far from the psycho-
logical warfare used by China's
communists. Furthermore, it
works, and without torture, too.
Show Satirizes Terrorists
This month at Gilgil, where
many of the 950 executed Mau
Maus have walked to the gallows,
Hardy found Mau Mau was quiet-
ly organizing again. He called
the tribesmen together in a "Ba-
raza," or meeting.
The customary form is a mixed
vaudeville show, featering comic
skits satirizing the Mau Mau, fol-
lowed by a military show of mortar
fire and machine guns, to assure'
the “loyal" natives that they
will get effective protection.
The speaker is the district
commissioner He praises or
scolds the tribesmen sitting on
the ground in their blankets or
old overcoats shipped in tons
from American rag markets.
At Gilgil Hardy went straight to
the point.
Oath Administration Shamed
“I didn't come here to spread
sweet words," he said. The Mau
Mau oath has been administered
here. And here is the man who
did it."
He pointed his finger at a man.
“Stand up,” he said "Did you ad-
minister the oath?” he demanded.
The penalty for "oathing" is the
noose.
The man stood up, drooping his
head. “Come up here," said Hardy.
The man obeyed. Hardy led him
behind the sound truck and talked
hard and fast to him for one min-
ute. “Will you name another
oath administrator?” The Mau
Mau leader agreed. He still want-
ed to live.
More Pointed Out
They went back on the plat-
form. The oathmaker pointed in-
to the squatting crowd. "That
man,” he Mid. “Get up,” order-
ed Hardy. The second oathmaker
stood up.
“Point to the men you have
oathed," said Hardy. The second
oathmaker pointed out, one after
another, four more men. They
got up and surrendered. Unless
they could prove they took the
oath under duress, they would
hang.
“This demonstration is simply
to show you," said Hardy, “That
we know all about Mau Mau being
here. Now it's up you. Are
you with us or are you with the
terrorists?"
What Hardy didn't My is that
under the odd British law, con-
fessions cannot be used to prose-
cute. The police must still prove
that the oath took place. That is
why some 5,000 "hard core" cases
will possibly never be tried.
SMASH KILLS THREE
SEOUL (—A U. S. airforce
truck left the road and crashed
into a Korean home Sunday night,
killing three Koreans and injuring
four. The driver was hospitalized,
but apparently was not seriously
injured. His identity was with-
held._____________________________________

versation with a Kikuyu tribal'
chief in a blue serge suit, one
ol the few still unmurdered by
Mau Mau. The chief was stand-
ing with his wet, blanketed peo-
ple; so, therefore, did Hardy, too.
Hardy is a man in a hurry,
who talks as hard and fast as
a business executive in Detroit.
May Hava Saved Tribe
"We stand here and the Mau
Mau are watching us at this
minute from that edge of forest,”
he said to me, pointing to where
the bamboo began, 200 yards
above us.
"All the big boys have their
contacts here on the Aberdares,"
he said. “Our job is to break
up the contacts between them
and their underground in Nai-
robi."
Kenya may have been saved
by Hardy’s daring method of pub-
lic confession. He used it to "stop
the rot" in the Makemba, a tribe
closely related to the Kikuyu, the
main hosts of Mau Mau.
The Kikuyu have never been
trusted by the British, but their
