Militant Nationalist Chosen
As Successor to Dr.. Nol0n

Following the action Of the

Jansen later today will call on
the 6l-year-old militant Ma

ment as soon as DR.. Malan's
resignation takes effect at mid
night tonight. He will become
South Africa's fifth Prime
Minister.

expected to be followed almost
Immediately by the resignation

the political situation In the
country plagued by the color
problem and British-Boe fac
tionalism. The Boer groups have
dominated Parliament since they
took power six years ago from
the late Field. Marshal Jan
Christian Smuts' United Party.
Announcing MFR. Strijdom's
election to a cheering crowd Of
| 900 outside the closely guarded
Parliament building, Party
Spokesman J. j. Serfontein said
Mr.. Havenga had withdrawn
from the contest soon after the
caucus session began. Mr.. Strij-
dom's election thus appeared TO
be unanimous, although Mr..
Serfontein gave no details Of the
caucus proceedings.
Struggle on Tactics.
The struggle between Mr..
Strijdom and Mr.. Havenga was
one Of tactics and timing rather
than other nationalist aims. :.
MFR. Strljdom is all for quick
ening the pace Of the national
ist march toward a Christian
national republic in South
Africa. He is determined to cut
the limited franchise and polit-
ical rights Of the nations 10
million on-whites and to speed
the governments ''apartheid"
program designed to separate
the country's various racial
groups into tight geographic
compartments.
Mr.. Striidom also wants to
quickly deprive the independent
courts Of their power to rule
parliamentary laws unconstitu-
tional. This issue stems from
the Nationalists' race policy, be-
cause the courts several times
have thrown out Malan-spon-
sorred race legislation.
The fiery Strijdom also has
long crusaded for republican

status for South Africa inside
or outside the British Common
wealth. He has pledged, how
ever, that a republic would be
proclaimed only after indorse-
ment Of the change in a refer
endum for all-white voters.
Despite his reputation as a
militant Boer Nationalist and
fiery speaker. Mr.. Strijdom as
minister of lands in DR.. Malan's
cabinet has counseled his fol-
lowers to pursue a moderate
course in working toward their
aims. This has at times disarmed
his opponents.
Mr.. Havenga's faction also
tavors eventual republican status
for the country and racial seq
regation. but generally advocates
a slower approach to the full
fillment of these aims.

M. r. 4. EQUITY STOCK SET AT $40

As was previously anticipated by the Matanuska Telephone As sociaton, equity stock in the as sociation will cost $40 per mem bership. This amount was an- nounced following a board of di- rectors meeting last Thursday night.
 Since that time correlation work has been started by a hired secretary who is compiling a list of area residents which will be added to those individuals who paid $10 and joined the associa- tion several months ago.
 An office will be set up this coming week in one section of Attorney John Shaw's office, next door to the American Le- zion building. Applications for memberships and equity pay ments may be made at the office. according to Lew Hanks, associa- tion chairman.
 Papers were received this week from Washington with instruc- tions regarding the necessary steps the association must take before construction of the mod ern dial telephone system can be- gin.
 A total of $16,65O must be col lected from members through the sale of equity stock before the existing city telephone system may be purchased. The City of Palmer has passed an ordinance permitting the sale of the sys- tenn. The ordinance will be pre- sented to city voters for ratifica- tion at the October 5 election. Membership drives are being planned and will be conducted in the Palmer, Wasilla Sutton, Gnu giak and Butte areas. House-to- house canvasses will be used in the more widely spaced areas.

 A tWo-hour hunt along the sand bars and shore of the river failed to locate the body of the victim.
 Although Williams has made seven crossings of the Matanuska River, and all in the spot, he told territorial police that this was his last one.
 It has been estimated that as much as 60 tons of silt roll down the Matanuska in the course of a 24-hour period, and that the aver age summer temperature of the water is 40 degrees. Several per sons have lost their lives while attempting crossings in that gen eral vicinity.

This race will be open to all contestants owning chain drive vehicle of any vintage The race will be held on Labor Day and will consist of at least one lap around the track.
 Not to be outdone, Owen Fly po'' Moffitt has issued a challenge to any owner of vehicle of the 1925 or older class. He will be driving his 1923 Model T Ford glamour wagon.
 Anyone in the territory having a vehicle in either class who wants in on the races may con- tact Gene Kirsch, fair manager at his office on the fairgrounds.
