Attempts To Deny
Vote TO ). African
'Colored' Decried

CAPE TOWN, South Africa -
NC) Fundamental human rights
will always be in accord with the
common good, and if there is any
abolition OF such rights il is not
for the common good.
So declared Archbishop Owen
McCann of Cape Town in talk
here in which he referred to a
law passed by the last session Of
the South African parliament to
take Col0red voters off the com
mon voters roll in the Cape and
place them on a separate voters
roll with the right to elect four
European members of parliament
to represent them.
The law was ruled unconstitu-
tional by the courts, but new
attempt repeatedly is being made
by leaders of the reelected Ma
tionalist government TO deprive
the Colored people of the fran
chise. "Colored" is a term used
in South Africa to embrace per-
sons of mixed race"
