_ ACCRA (AP) — Diplomatic quarters here express belief President Kwame Nkrumah might have..remgined in power had he been able to grasp the

“Nkrumah was often a bril- Mant politician but his fiscal policies. were those of a dull eight-year-old,” said one vet- eran diplomat..

The new military regime, which threw out the‘ leftist leader Thursday, portrayed in its first announcement a once- affluent nation plunged into: eco- nomic chaos. :

“The. country is on the brink ef national bankruptcy,” said the National Liberation Council.

MISSIONS EXPANDED Ghana's diplomatic missions were expanded without regard to cost; Ghana Airways lost barrels of money but recently invested in two costly new jet- liners; Nkrumah ordered a $28,- 000,000: complex of conference buildings built last year to en- tertain heads of state in the Organization of African Unity; Ghana's 1965 budget allocated $420,000 for statues of Nkrumah.
