African Iron Curtain

AiIiIai AfOh suIt<A
The African worker labors un.
der conditions that are compar-
able TO those behind the Iron Cur
tain.
II he leaves his job for any
reason, he is subject to a stiff
prison term. In addition he must
carry passes on his person at all
times so that he can move about
from home to work and any place
that he is permitted to go.
There is strong feeling Of ma
tionalism and anti-white senti-
ment growing among the Africans
and they look upon the govern
ment as Christian" because of
the Nationalist party's close ties
with the Dutch Reformed church
that believes in rigid segregation,
Because the average African
looks upon government as Chris
tian, the Anglican church is find
ing itself in the position where
ii will be forced TO take a more
positive stand against the Nation
alist party, IL it wants to continue
to reach more Africans and keep
the African membership it al
ready has.
There Is more than a fifty-fifty
chance that this clash between the
two denominations may come out
in the open at the World Council
of churches when II meets next
week in Evanston, Ill.
The Anglican church will have
Bishop Reeves serving on the race
committee of the council and the
Dutch Reformed church will have
representative from South Afri-
ca on the committee also.
South Africa is very sensitive to
outside criticism and imposes a
very rigid censorship on incoming
and outgoing letters, magazines,
newspapers and other media.
Up until the U. S. Supreme
courts decision outlawing segre-
cation in public schools the South
African government would point
with pride to America, a world
leader and cite the Jim Grow
practices of the South.
The press of South Africa gave
the decision a lot of coverage, but
since that time the government
has become more sensitive to criti-
cism.
This is probably due to the fact
that they feel somewhat alone now
that their chief support has pulled
the props from under them.
Because of the stiff penalties of
the Public Safety Act, one of the
daily papers in Johannesburg
keeps three attorneys who do no.
thing but edit all of the news and
editorials so that they won't pub
lish anything that would violate
the Public Safety Act.
Bishop Reeves said that he does
not know how much longer he will
be able to continue.
He said that because of the ire
mendous amount of pressure he is
under and human frailties, he may
blow up someday and do some
thing drastic or knuckle under the
pressure and remain silent.

Direct bargaining between the
employer and African employee is
prohibited and strikes and lock-

Also the African unions are ex-
cluded from participation in In

The bishop went on to say that
has resulted in an increasing re-
sentiment by the African workers
for being treated differently and
the European workers are begin

and rates of pay will be undcrmin-
ed.

south Africans find themselves
in a terrible dilemma. their racial

the needs OF the modern world,
'IndustriaiiEation prevents them
from going back To the only form
OF society in which their CNation-
aliSt party theories OF segrega'
ton could possibly be worked
out, the bishop declared.
The Bishop said:
The followers of the National.

though some OF us see the present

escapable dilemma,
They are convinced that BY

the process OF indignation which
has been slowly taking place FOL
many years now, but in time car
replace IL by separate and parallel
development for each and every

The bishop concluded his speech
which was one Of the highpoints
OF the Today congress that ends
today, by declaring;
The world viii know that there

Chocos to Supervise Athletics
At New Wheaton High School

Lou Chacos, who coached
Roosevelt to its only District
interhigh football championship,
has been appointed athletic
director and football coach at
the new Wheaton High School, a
dazzling So million educational
plant which will open in Septem-
ber.
Joining Chacos at Wheaton
will be Johnny Moffatt, former
American University basketball
star who has been teaching at
Wilson High, and Frank Apichel-
la, who is leaving the varsity
baseball coaching job at Mount
st. Mary'S College.
Another coach, a ell-known
figure in Washington scholastic
sports circles, is expected to have
his appointment cleared soon.
Fourth Coaching Spot.
It will be Chacos' fourth coach
ing assignment. He spent three
years at Charlotte Hall Military
Academy as athletic director and
football and basketball coach,
headed the football program at
Central during the two years
prior to that schools absorption
by Cardozo and then went to
! Roosevelt where he spent the
last three years.
At Wheaton the former Mary
land University football and
track competitor will be greeted
by that combination of factors

students from which to draw
and a sports minded principal.

Wheaton's future in sports. par

School Officials Take
First Look al Plans
For Integrated Sports

trict school superintendent, ana
four of his top aides got their
first look at detailed plans for
inteeration of athletics in Dis
trict public high schools yes
terday IN a two-hour meeting
with athletic officials.
No decisions were made by
the group yesterday, according
to Hardy Pearce. director OF
athletics for Division I (white)
schools, and at least one more
meeting will be required. That
meeting may be held today or,
if not today, sometime next
week.
Birch Bayh, director of health
and physical education for Dl-
vision 1 schools; Pearce and
their opposite numbers in the
Division II (Negro) organiza-
ton, DR.. E. B. Henderson and
Wendell Paris, submitted three
or four different types of sched-
ules' for each sport yesterday,
Pearce said. The sports affected
are football, basketball, baseball,
track, cross-country, tennis, golt
and swimming.
Present plans call for no in
tegration in football this fall,
except in cases where white
schools play Mckinley Tech.
Mckinley is certain to have Ne
gro students on its football team
since it will enroll about 46O
Negroes for the fall semester
Also, there is a possibility that
the Division I and Division II
champions will meet in a post
season game to determine the
District public high champion
4 The main reason given for de-
laying integration in football is
that the schedule contracts have
been made too far in advance

that it is too late for schools tc
