‘Twister’ Will Visit
The While House
USUMBURA, Burundi W — An
African king who reckons he is
one of the best royal twisters in
the world is coming to the United
States this summer to meet Presi
dent Kennedy and see the White
House.
Mwambutsa, the Mwami, or
king, of the new nation of Bur
undi, met foreign newsmen Mon
day and told them he will leave
his pocket-size country next door
to the Congo at the end of the
month and tour the United States,
Britain, Belgium, Switzerland, the
Netherlands and France.
Burundi is half of the former
trust territory of Ruanda-Urundi.
Belgium’s troops are due to quit
the country by the end of July.
Their departure could open the
way to trouble from the Mwami’s
political foes, but the ebullient, 56
vear-old monarch said he didn't
think there would be any trouble.
Mw'ambutsa has held his throne
for 43 years, since he was 13.
Since the assassination of Crown
Prince Louis Rwagasore last year,
his heir has been 17-year-old
Prince Charles, now studying in
Switzerland.
The Mwami is a regular visitor
to night clubs and sometimes sits
in on the drums. Hating formality,
on his last visit to Belgium he was
constantly trying to elude his
bodyguards. Once he climbed out
of his bedroom window, hailed a
cab and danced in a night club
until the early hours.
His proficiency at the twist
comes naturally, he explained.
“As an African,” he said, “of
course I find it easier to do than
whites. We have got the natural
swing needed. Come down and
watch me some time at one of the
night clubs.”
Mwambutsa is popular with his
people and drives about Usumbura
in a yellow American convertible,
waving to everyone he sees. He
has a chauffeur but prefers to
drive himself.
Polishing off his whisky and soda,
he jumped behind the wheel of
his convertible and told the news
men as he roared away:
“I think I have a game of dice
now.”
