Africans CHARGES

New York Charges by an Of

cation TO the United Nations that
Walter White had not been ac-
curate" in comments made in a
radio broadcast on United Ma
tons study of racial conditions in
South Africa were refuted this
week by the NAACP executive
secretary.
In letter TO the South African,
Mr. White cited the text of his
comments and pointed to "A story
in the New York TIMES in sup
port of his statements, The South
African had, in a curt letter to
Mr. White, accused him of mis-
leading his listeners with inaCcur.
ate information, while we do not
expect you to be impartial" the
letter said, Il do feel that at least
you could be accurate in your
broadcasts on South African af-
fairs"
The South African official
charged Mr.. White with saying
that IS nations voted over
whelmingly' in support Of the 352-
page report on racial conditions
in South Africa" This report, he
asserted, has not yet been dis
cussed by the United Nations"
Replying to the charge, Mr.
White said he had not mentioned
any vote on the report or said that
II had been discussed by the
United Nations. He had quoted
from that report which was issued
by the United Nations Commission
for the Study of Racial Conditions
in the Union of South Africa.
In conclusion, the NAACP ex-
ecutive said: Il would like to sug-
gest that before you write any
more letters as inaccurate as the
one you wrote on November IT,
you. yourself take the trouble TO
ascertain the facts"

Never before has such an array

u. N. COMMISSION REFUSES
TO SUPPORT ISRAEL'S
CHARGES AGAINST JORDAN

JERUSALEM, (JTA) - The
Israel-Jordan Mixed Armistice
Commission refused to uphold
Israeli charges that Jordanian
forces were responsible for the
murder Of three Israeli soldiers
in the Belt Jibrin area last week.
The Commission, which was told
by the United Nations observers
that tracks from the scene of the
ambush led to Jordan territory,
ruled that there was no "techn-
ical" evidence to support the
charge.
The soldiers, on border patrol,
were walking along a road in the
Beth Jibrin region when they
were caught in automatic rifle
crossfire from both sides of the
road. All three were killed before
they could defend themselves.
Their attackers stripped them of
their rifles before withdrawing.
