MaIan To Fight
Courts Ruling
On Segregation

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
Prime Minister Daniel F. Malan,
apparently angered by a Negro
native successful attempt to fight
the Unions rigid segregation laws,
has promised that if his National
ist Party wins the next election he
will write the principle of racial
segregation into law in way that
will leave mo court in doubt about
the wish and intention of Parlia-
ment and the people"
:. The case, in which the Supreme
Court of Appeals upheld an Afri-
ca nnative'S contention that he had
the right to use white waiting
room because facilities provided
for Negroes were inferior, is ex-
pected to become a political foot
ball in the next election, and al
ready moves are being made in
that direction.
In London the House of Com
mons approved the projected GEN.
trail African federation of three
British dependencies aimed ulti-
mately at creating a new nation,
although one opposing member
described Malan as "a wickedness
Of the type we fought the last war
to suppress"
The move was approved after
an amendment, charging that the
new federation constitution failed
to provide adequate safeguards for
native interests, and was opposed
to the will f the African peoples
was defeated by a vote of 304 to
26O.
The expressed fear of Malan was
that the Supreme Court decision
calling segregation unlawful un-
less equal facilities are provided
for other races. would, if applied,
reverse the whole structure on the
provision of entirely different
standards of living and facilities
for the Negro majority and the
white minority which is in power.
It is believed, however, that the
majority of whites are on Malan'S
side. A typical example was found
in a column of the johannesburg

Opposition United Party and of in-
terests in the Chamber of Mines,

Plan for Sales Tax
In Arlington Studied
ByCounty Delegation

A proposed sales tax for Ar
lington is being studied by the
county delegation to the General
Assembly for possible introduc-
ton when the Legislature con-
venes next month.
State Senator Charles r.
Fenwick said after q meeting
between the legislators and the
county board last night that If
such a bill is introduced it will
call for a referendum on the
plan by Arlington voters.
All Members Present.
Present at the meeting were
all members of the county board
and of a legislative committee
which it appointed. Senator
Fenwick, Delegate j. Maynard
Magruder and DelegateS-elect
Mrs. Kathryn Stone and Har-
,rison Mann.
Mr.. Fenwick said the measure
requested by the board would
permit enactment of a general
county sales tax at a rate OF not
more than per cent.
The county has reached the
point, the legislators were told.
where debt obligations and the
need for capital improvements
require either an increase in the
real estate tax or some addi-
tional source of revenue. County
Indebtedness is now about $50
million.
For Staggered Payments.
The legislators also agreed to
consider a county board request
that the county be permitted to
collect taxes any time after July
l instead of after December 5,
as at present.
The change would stagger the
payment of State and local taxes
and also would eliminate the
county's need to borrow money
between the beginning of the
fiscal year in July and the pres
ent date for receipt of taxes In
December.
