SOUTH AFRICA
| Main battle in South Africo
I. where tiny European minority
by comparison in numbers, is at
tempting to white away the con
stitutional rights of African Ne
groes, is centered in Bloemfontein
from the political viewpoint.
There, Premier Malan's violenr
and allegedly illegal attempt t.
bring about racial segregation ha:
received a heavy blow. When hi
earlier attempts to alter voting
arrangements were nullified tn,
civil courts, Malan produced, by ;
e political manipulation, a Higl
Court of Parliament.
This court, he said, would be
superior to any other court il
! South Africa, and since it woult
be formed from bis own parlia
mentary majority, he was conf
dent that he could introduce any
| legislation he sought into the con
StltutiOn.
But the Appellate Division OF
South Africa's Supreme Court has
declared in Bloemfontein that the
Malan Court has no right to ex-
list.
1t was confirming a decision of
the Cape Supreme Court, whic
had also held that the Act setting
up Malan's court was null and void
Malan had formed the court af-
ter the Supreme Court had throw

justice, and permit colored voter
to be placed on the Common Roll
for the forthcoming general cleo

This takes place in April, anC,
the forecast is that if the coloured
vote is available, Malan will be
thrown out.

fights the fight of the die-hart
anti-Ncgro element.
BITTER STRIFE
Civil disturbances continue
throughout South Africa. Police
have orders to "shoot to kill
where demonstrations do not i'm.
mediately break upon being ordered
to do so.
AS the death roll mounts among
Negroes, their women and children
are trekking away from the cities
with their pitiful possessions, pro-
ducing dismal scenes such as those
seen in the last world war, when
whole communities fled from the
Nazis.
Many of the Negroes have second
homes in villages from which they
came to earn "big money" in gold
mines, diamond fields and OH ether
important European-o prof.
ects.
Some natives have returned t,
their reservations, where whole
tribes, or sections of tribes, have
something approximating 20 "hdme
rule"
