Dear P.D.
l have been gathering some of
the statistics regarding Negro ball
players and other athletes in the
past and present year. ! am there
fore suggesting that your senator
eastland be asked to introduce a
bill in the us. Senate to bar all
Afro-Americans from member
ship on these teams appearing
before millions of Americans
every week. If this is not in his
judgement wise, l suggest that he
write bill to keep the TV pic
ture makers and the press from
carrying views or pictures of
these subversive athletes.
However it may be that the
reason no TV commentator nor
radio announcer ever. refers to the
race of the athlete mentioned is
because your senator has pers-
uaded these people that such
comment would be considered
subversive. Perhaps he does not
know that since the event of
Jackie Robinson, Negro athletes
have become almost indispensable
to professional sport. There were
fifty one unmentionab1es on the
rosters of the American and Ma
tional Pro. baseball teams last
season and 81 unmentionables are
on the football Pro teams this
fall. Of the first five best players
on the eight Pro basketball teams
this winter, six teams have from
one to two unmentionable play
ers. Every big league baseball
team except the Boston Red Sox
had them, and every football
tie m except the Washington
Redskins has three players.
I wonder if your senator allows
his family to look at games when
these players are playing. Per-
sumably he tells them that they
are colored to prevent the sun
glare from interrupting their
sight in going after a fly ball or
a pass. Since no newspaper says
these unmentionables are Negroes
the names Banks, Mays, Coving-
ton, Aron, Bruton, H var d ,
Brown, Galimore, and the hun
dred others are Anglo-Saxons.
Here are the names of these I'M
mentionables. If you dare print
them you will be charged with
libel of the white race - what

Mr.. Swart. now acting Prime
Minister. was seen as the logical
choice to take over. He was
considered a certainty for leader
Of the ruling Nationalist Party
which he helped found.
Mr.. Swart became justice
minister 10 years ago. Since
then the uncompromising seq
regationist has put through
parliament some Of the most
controversial legislation in the
country's history.
In 1850, he rammed through
the immortality Act, which bans
African-white sexual relations,
and the Suppression of Com
munisn Act. Recently, he set
up a tribunal to hear the mass
treason trial of 80 persons ac-
cused Of trying to convert South
Africa into a Communist state.
The defendants claimed they
only sought an end to apart
heid-the policy of white sue
premacy and strict segregation
Mr.. Swart also won approval
Of a bill which makes armed
robbery punishable by death.
Born in the Orange Free
State in 1894, Mr.. Swart spent
the Boer War in a British con-
centration camp with his
mother. After graduating from
Grey University in Bloemfon-
