South Africo'S Treatment Of
Natives Condemned by United
Nations TrUsfeeship Council

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y,
Dec. 16 (NNPA)-On the ba-
sis of its own report, South
Africa was condemned last
Friday in the United Nations
Trusteeship Council for race
segregation, labor exploitation and
inadequate provision of schools and
health facilities in the former
Southwest Africa mandate, which
it still refuses to submit to U. N.
trusteeship.
By a unanimous vote, with Bel
GUM abstaining, the Council adopt
ed United States resolution label
ing the 54-page report incomplete
and deciding to interrogate South
Africa for supplementary data to
be submitted to the Councils next
session in June.
Benjamin Gerig, American rep
resentative, submitted eighteen
questions concerning native rep
resentatiOn in legislation, total
expenditures for the natives, con-
trOlled residence of natives in 10
cations" and the meaning of fig-
ures which showed that out Of
3,479 convictions in interior
courts, "2,125 were master-ser-
want cases."
Awni Khalidy, of Iraq, declared
the most important point emery
ing from this report is that the gold
mines of South Africa are recruit
ing African labor from the tribal
areas Of South West Africa"
Never before has labor from
this territory been indentured for
the South African mines, which de-
pend on migratory labor recruited
from other sources outside South
Africa" said Mr.. Khalidy.
THE Trusteeship Council may,
accordingly, want to inquire
about the labor conditions pre-
Vailing in these mines, more espe-
eially as South Africa has not
ratified any of the international
Labor Organization conventions
on the recruitment of native
labor"
The report described how natives
had been gradually sorted out and
sent to the reserves selected from
them," and Liu Chieh, of China
protested "this type of arbitrary
sorting out into reserves is not con-
ducive to the development of their
capacity for self-government."
The Iraq delegate said only 10 per
cent Of the budget was spent direct
ly on Africans, that a minimum
wage proclamation (reputedly pro-
posing $3.50 a month minimums)
mad been withdrawn after one
month; and that colored individuals
were "debarred on the ground of
race" from voting or sitting in the
territorial legislature.

Referee Who Ruled
Against Louis Wos
Wur-time Buddy
By LOUIS LAUTIER

The vote of Ruby Goldstein
young referee working his
first heavyweight champion
ship fight, was ironical.
Before the fight, the Jersey
Joe Walcott camp yelled that
they didn't want Arthur Donovan
as the third man in the ring be-
cause he had refereed all of Joe
Louis major fights in New York
City. So, the New York Athletic
Commission signed Goldstein.
What fight fans didn't know was
that Louis and Goldstein had
served together in the Army. They
we're stationed at the same time
at Camp Shanks and were assigned
to special services. They were part
Of a team Of fighters who enter
tanned soldiers in the New York
area.
They visited Wright and Patter-
son FIELDS, Ohio, together, under
the command of Captain Krem, to
boost war bond sales and the
morale of civilian employees. They
did a comedy skit in which they
kidded each other and Captain
Krem.
After the visit to Wright and
Patterson Fields they continued a
tour which took them to Alaska,
and they were great pals.
And to prove that he is impartial
and a great referee-he himself
was once a fghter-he voted
against the champion and his pal
and for Walcott whom he thought
had won the fight.
The public is tickle, and so are
boxing fans. They acclaimed Wal
colt, the man who ran away, and
booed Louis who has been a great
champion.
Jack johnson Stunned Sam
Langford as If the Boston Tar Baby
had smallpox. Jack Dempsey drew
the color line on Harry Wills. But
Joe has fought all contenders-
Primo Camera, King Levinsky,
Max Baer, Pauline Uzcudun, Max
Schmeling, Bob Pastor, Jim Brad
dock, Tommy FAIR, Tony Galento,
Arturo Godoy, Abe Simon, Buddy
Baer, Billy Conn, Lou Nova, Tami
Mauriello, and Walcott, to mention
some of them.
Perhaps the handwriting is on
the wall and Father Time has
taken his toll-but next summer
Joe will enter the ring an odds-on
favorite to beat Walcott, whom Joe
Maxim and Elmer Ray beat
