STRING OF RACIAL SEGREGATION
LEGISLATION TO parliament
AlI-Mhite Parliament Gives Little
Indication Of Being Aware OF
Realities Of African Situation
Presence Of American Negro Journalist
At Embassy Party Draws Protests

Cape Town, South Africa, Jan.
31.-South Africa's new Prime
Minister, DR.. Hendrix F. Verwoerd,
has placed a formidable string of
apartheid legislation before the
first session of Parliament to feel
his spur.
The governments theory is that
ultimately all these race segrega-
ton laws will react to the benefit
of non-white as we'll as white. But
in fact it is difficult to see how
any of them at their present stage
of application can do anything but
further erode the rights of nom
whites in South Africa and con-
tribute to their increasing frus-
tration.
Advance Accelerates
All this is in striking contrast
to events elsewhere in Africa,
which are thrusting the black man
to the fore. Indeed, a strangely
unreal air hangs over the gather
ing in Cape Town of South At
rica's all-white Parliament, which
gives little apparent indication
that it is aware of the realities
of the situation in Africa.
So speedy is the Africans on
