Mr.. Verwoerd was one of the
rchitects and current en-
orcer of South Africa's apar-
sheid racial segregation laws,
which have caused harsh out
bursts of violence in South
Africa over the last three
weeks.
After being searched. the
gunman was led away from the
arena through a crowd of white
people to the police station.
Apparently a small pistol OF
% caliber was used.
The shooting occurred about
20 minutes after Mr.. Verwoerd
had finished speaking to a
large exposition crowd.
The actual time of the at
tempted assassination was 2:25
pm. 1925 am EST.
Witnessed by Thousands
The shooting was witnessed
by thousands who turned out
to hear the Prime Minister
speak.
American. South African and
British television and radio
stands were set up for his
speech.
Mr.. Verwoerd was for years
controversial Minister of Ma
tive Affairs before he became
Prime Minister in September,
1858.
He was a newspaper editor
and professor of sociology and
psychology before becoming
Minister of Native Affairs. He
had been perhaps the most un-
compromising of the dominant
National Party's unbending
leaders in the field of race
relations.
Most of his considerable
energy has been devoted to the
separation of South Africa's 10
million Negroes from the
million whites who run the
country.
A breezy man who smiles
easily, his theory is that the
white man must hold the reins
in South Africa indefinitely or
be driven out.
Mr.. VerWoerd was born in
the Netherlands. Since infancy
South Africa has been his
home. In his youth he studied
at schools in the Netherlands
and Germany.
Before the shooting the gov
ernment declared that neither
Negro resistance nor foreign
pressure would force a change
in its white supremacy laws.
Foreign Minister Louw said
in the interview with the British
Broadcasting Co. that there

DR.. Cameron testified yesterday
that study made by the Amer

greater death rate among
smokers than non-smokerS.
A former scientific director
of the society, DR.. Cameron
said that after A months of
the study which began six
years ago, 1915 of the smok-

Higher Death Rate
The death rate of the smok-

Tells His Story
Capt. Hartnett said Van Over
gave this version of events lead
ing up to the death Thursday
of the civic leader:
Van Over said he and his
common-law wife Lois, who is
being held as a material wit
ness. arrived in Washington
three weeks ago from Tampa to
wait for a carnival to pass
through town. They registered
in the AAAA Hotel at 1913
Fourteenth street NV.
The suspect said he met Mr..
Owen for the first time at 2
pm. Thursday in a restaurant
in the 500 block of Ninth street
NV. according to Capt. Hart
nett. Mr.. Owen told him he
had a hangover and wanted
someone to drink with him.
Van Over told police, the
captain said. they agreed to go
to a nearby hotel. the Alton.
The suspect said Mr. Owen gave
him money to register and
agreed to follow him into the
hotel.
Capt. Hartnett said Van Over
told varying stories of how the
beating started. First he said
he began to beat Mr.. Owen
while trying to rob him of $14.
Then he changed his story and
said Mr.. Owen asked to be
beaten.
Victim Left Unconscious
Van Over said he left the
room with Mr.. Owen lying un-
conscious on the floor and made
the rounds of Ninth street bars
and then went back to his own
hotel.
Earlier, in the hotel, the !
clerk. Joel Fodiman, heard
screams coming from upstairs
and ran next door to call police.
AS he was returning. he said.
he saw a tall man with bushy
hair leaving the Alton. (Actu-
ally, Van Over has neatly
trimmed hair)
Police found Mr.. Owen dying
on the floor beside the bed. He
was nude and so badly beaten
around the face as to be un-
recognizable.
Mary Brown, a maid at the
Alton, told police she registered
the suspect. She said the name
was unreadable on the register
but that the suspect gave his
home town as Tampa.
Later yesterday, DR.. Richard
Rosenberg. deputy coroner,
performed an autopsy at the
morgue. He said death was
caused by strangulation. Sew
eral neck vertebrae were frac- 1
tured. and Mr.. Owen had suf-

"If not" he said, "It may
be worth taking longer for
him to get ahead so that she

problem Of q drastic change
in economic status isn't al

Extra Expense
In the United States, extra
money means extra expecta-
tions - in our own mind and
in minds of others. Thus
paradoxically families who
have more money find greater
trouble making 1t stretch.
So a family once used to
$4,000 a year and now earn

find there is not as much

cial n o o Is for the chill

health. fire and life insur-
ance. Pressures causes by this
often create tensions between
the couple.
Work Load
"I have seen so many
cases." said Mr.. Arne Erick-
son, administrative assistant
Of the agency, where not
only the tensions of the bills
caused by trying to live up
to the Joneses causes trouble
but the very m ethod by
which the husband earned
this extra money compound
ed tension.
"He often is required to do
all this extra entertaining
much Of it on out-of-town
trips. The result is that his
wife never knows when to
expect him home evenings
when he is in town-or whom
he was with when he was
out of town. Because they
spend so little time together
and lose contact with one
another, suspicious grow

ny in the style they would
like TO become accustomed to.
But he'll nag at her for not
making the money stretch
far enough.
"She retaliates with ac-
cusations that he couldn't
have been working all of the
time he was gone. And If
he'd be home more to help
her maybe running the house
would be a little easier. In
short her security is threat
ened and he feels unap-
preciated."
Evening star., 1960-02-07

In these cases, said DR..
Rutledge. the trouble occurs
when the husband reaches q
certain point in his career.
I'm many forms Of in
dustry," he said, there is no
place for q wife early in the
husbands career. Then as he
reaches q certain level she Is
expected to step in as a gra-
cious hostess, leading lady
and perfect guest. Many
times the wife has had no
training or preparation for
this"
DR.. Rutledge suggests that
q couple should always ques-
ton whether at any point

must be sure how much Of
this work is necessary. When
q husband prefers being out
to being at home, I think

DETROIT, Feb. 6.-Mar-
riage counSelors are much
like doctors.
Sometimes they, too. are
called in on a case too late.
Then they only can sit and
watch a marriage die.
So it was with Sue Ann
and Pete.
Married when she was Is
and he was 19, in a South
ern State, they moved here
after the birth Of their first
child,
Jobs were scarce in the
South but Detroit was in its
wartime factory boom and
Pete found a job in an auto
mobile factory.
Devoted Husband
The money was good
better than they had dreamed
Of. They bought a small
house and three more chill
dren were born.
After the war ended, over
time for Pete was cut of but
he was still earning about
500 a week and they man
aged. They were q tightly
knit family. Pete was a de-
voted father and husband.
All this time Pete had a
dream. He wanted a small
shop of his own. One day 1t
became possible. A relative
died, leaving Pete several
thousand dollars. Enough for
partnership in a shop.
He changed from a clock
puncher to a man with his
own business. The business
made demands. It needed
care to grow. So Pete worked
hard. Often he slept only
three or four hours a night.
Many times this was done on
a cot at the shop. Three and
four days would pass without
his seeing his family.
Pete's work paid Of fan
tastically. In a year he bought
his partner out. Then he be-
came a big man." Clothes
that had been good enough
weren't any more. He must
have more expensive ones.
He began to entertain a lot,
but he never took Sue Ann
along. He was sure Sue Ann,
with her simple homespun
ways, wouldn't know how to
talk to these important
clients.
Other Woman
He treated her like an
ignorant distant cousin-the
woman who cared for his
children. When he sought
companionship, he had a
woman established in a
downtown apartment who
supplied that.
It was at this point that
Sue Ann sought q counselor.
But it was too late. Pete
could not be made to At her
back into his world. And
she no longer felt at ease
in his.
They were divorced.
What had happene e d?
Something that happens to
too many couples. Husbands
rise in their professional
world, but their wives are not
invited along. Two persons
who were quite well-matched
educationally and culturally
when they married become
strangers to each other.
Were Pete and Sue Ann
persons who married long
before they had matured
enough to know what kind
of persons they would be
when they grew up?

THE COUNCILS VIEW
Neither Claire nor her
mother speaks Of the inter-
ests of the little girl. Yet
she should be the most i'm
portant factor in Claire's
considerations. This child
should not be shunted out
of the way while her mother
goes out looking for a third
husband. Apparently tn e
plan is to suddenly produce
the child as a disagreeable
surprise-once the man has
been bagged.
But the child should not
be inclosed in a gloomy en-
vironment with a depressed,
self-pitying mother. Her
mother must break out of
the wretched cycle of tor
menting situations she has
imposed upon herself.
