Mounting Wave Of
Colonial immigration

LONDON. Dec. rs (NAfJA,.-
Britain may restrict the mount

A top Conservative Party source
says the government win set up
q commission Of inquiryAto study
the problems created by the ''Lit-

There are now an estimated
10000 colored persons In the

There is q growing feeling that

The bulk Of them are unskilled
workers and although Britain
has more skilled jobs than men
to fill them. there Is still o sur.

In the lobby Of the House of
Parliament many MP's say that
the commission win probably
recommend some kind OF re-
straining legislation which viii
cancel the traditional rights Of
every British subject throughout
the Empire and Commonwealth
to enter Britain with no ques-

Many Of the politicians
thought 1t likely that the legis-

ployment or adequate money to

No Race Curbs Seen.
In any case, the politicians de-
clared they were certain the
legislation would not discrimi-

Britain is painted In the coll
onies as q promised land and
as more and more immigrants
arrive they are likely to ind
that their hopes have. been
dashed-and turn into bitter So

23-hour riot ended, inmates of the

were back to their normal quiet
behavior today.
The revolt stopped late yester-

nearly 300 milling rioters in a large

the guards they held as hostages
or else 'face the consequences"
The ultimatum by Gov. Sigurd

side the block.
The hostages, George Read and

to the block gate.
The guards said they hadn't been
hurt or even seriously threatened.
Gov. Anderson called the out
break an unnecessary riot" and
said he will order an investigation
into its cause.
The revolt started as the pris-
oners were finishing their evening
meal Monday. Using tear gas,
guards herded the rioters into the
cell block and snapped the heavy
doors shut. q
AT first there were three hos
tages, but one of them, guard Mel

freed him to show their "good
faith" in their dealings on griev-
ances over prison conditions.
Gov. Anderson, in announcing
the riot had ended, said, 1--WE

that he may be called home to be,

ton Of whether the European AL,

the proposal. The first three AL

Britain or France may feel that
one Of their military men should
have The command. Or the United
States, which lost the case for the
European Defense Community plan
but endorsed the substitute pro-
duced at the London conference,
may step away from another in
vitation to command.
The terms of both Gen. Matthew
B. Ridgway. Army chief Of staff,
and Adm. Arthur Radford, chair
man Of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff,
expire next August. Either or both
could be reappointed, but before
Ridgway could complete q second
term he would reach the statutory
point Of 81 at which general Off
GERS must retire.
