South Africa Makes Yelled
Threat 1t will Quit U.N.;
Resists Native Policy Probe

PARIS-(ANP)-For the third
time in the current United Ma
tons assembly session, South
African Spokesman threw out
yelled hints that the country
might do well to sever its con-
nections with the world organiza-
ton. The third time came last
week when Eric H. Louw, South
African economics minister, told
the UN that decent South Afri-
cans, of all political parties are
asking whether II is to South
Africa's advantage to be a men,
Der Of an organization where the
union and its government are an
nually abused and vilifed."
Speaking at the opening ses-
sion, he told delegates that his
government would have to re
consider its UN membership"
Earlier, Charles te Water, South
Africa's newly appointed am
bassador -at-large, had told the
UN Social committee that his
country's point Of view was mis-
understood and misrepresented
and limited that the Union was
fed up with its part in the UN.
However, delegates from other
countries have taken the hints TO
be a propaganda device to deter
the UN from intervening in
South Africa's administration Of
the Territory Of South West Afri-
ca and its domestic policy toward
native populations. South Africa
has been censured severely for
its refusal TO submit a trustee
ship agreement in respect TO the
former inundated territory as had
been recommended by the gen
eral assembly.
Louw accused India Of pursu-
ing a vendetta" against his gov
eminent and distributing "scur-
rilous" pamphlets attacking its
administration in Southwest Al
RIGA. He reiterated the country's
refusal to put the territory under
the trusteeship system.
AS for Soviet charges OF NAL
administration and oppression,
Louw said these were merely
amusing when they come from
the delegations of a country
which is notorious for its denial
of individual liberty and the fun
damental human rights to its own
subjects"

Two u. Students
Elected to High
Class Positions

When the smoke Of the All Stu
dent elections at the University of
Minnesota had cleared away, two
Negro students, Hobart Banks,
senior, and Stanley Roberts, a
junior, were a part Of the happy
newly elected class cabinet Off
GERS.
AS far as the records show, they
are the first members of their race
TO hold student cabinet posts since
the beginning of the elections.
Both men were urged to run for
office by Warren Christianson who
became Roberts campaign man
ager. Jean Cranston was the cam
paign manager for Hobart Banks
This election isn't the only
feather in the cap" for Hobart
Banks, in his three and one-half
years at Minnesota University.
He was elected president of the
student body of the Y.M.C.A.
University branCh) last spring.
His election to this Office cul-
minated several years of interest
and active participation with the
Y movement. In 1912, Hobart was
elected to the Oklahoma State
Presidency of The High Y move
ment and was sent as a delegate
to the National Hi Y council at
Miami University, Oxford, Ohio.
Banks, a native Of MuSkogee,
Oklahoma, is also a member Of
several other organizations on the
campus and in the city. Among
those are American Veterans
Committee (AVC), Cosmopolitan
Club, Minneapolis Core Group,
and the Masonic Palestine Lodge
No. Z. He is Polemarch Of Psi
Chapter Of the Kappa Alpha Psi
Fraternity.
A very busy man to be major
ing in psychology!
Stanley Roberts. who was
elected to the Junior cabinet, is a
quiet and serious young man Of
twenty seven. After two years Of
business school, he entered the
University law school this fall.
This election was his first appear
ance in school politics His inter
eSts have lain primarily in the
religious areas; being an active
member in several organizations
of Bethesda Baptist church.
However, both Banks and Rob
erts have one interest in common.
They are ardent record collectors.
Roberts music taste runs to all
types. Banks has a decided prefer
ence for the BE Bop" musical
style Of musicians like Dizzy Gil
leSple. Neither man has very
much time to pursue their inter
esting hobbies at this moment
because of heavy school programs.
A great many students are high
in their praise of these two men
and are sure that their presence
will be felt in any undertaking Of
the Senior and Junior cabinets.

became a free and independent
Republic today.
Ireland-centuries long and
often bloody struggle for free :
dom came to a peaceful end as
President Sean T. O'Kelly sign
ed Fire out of the British Com
monwealth.
O'Kelly approved bill Of the
Irish parliament repeating the
external relations act which had
empowered the British king to
accredit Irish diplomats.
The act was the last slender
constitutional tie between Fire
and the British Crown and Com
monwealth.
The repeal actually becomes

The delay will give the two ma

The ENGLISH conquest Of Ire

1859 and was helped by a rift
among Irish chieftains. But 1t
ran into stiff resistance.
The Irish fought for freedom
in 1898, 1641 and 1890. Then
the rebels went underground for
more than 100 years. They rose
again in 1903, 1848 and 1867.
But it was the bloody rebel
lion Of 1915 and the Guerrilla
war of 1919-192l which finally
broke British authority. The re-
bellion was planned by tn e
citizen army and the left wings
of the volunteers and Sim Fein.
The actual fighting. which was
chiefly street fighting in Dublin,
lasted a week after it broke out
on Easter Sunday 1915. Fifteen
rebels were executed.
In the Guerrilla war that fol-
