I QuestiOn-We have inlaid
linoleum on the kitchen floor.
In doing some remodeling,
we tore of some Of the IL
noleum along the sides and
It doesn't cover the entire
space now, so we have to re-
move it. What is the best
way to remove it? 1t is put
down on plywood, with no
tar paper underneath.
AnSwer-If the torn of Ii
noleum is in a straight line,
why not just put down a new
strip of contrasting, or
matching, linoleum as a bor-
der? Much less work.
The best way to remove
the linoleum would be to
have a professional do the
job. Try removing the bal
ance of the linoleum, by
placing about 10 pounds Of
dry ice on a section, allowing
to remain 1915 minutes,
then prying up with a putty
knife. The intense cold Of
the ice makes the linoleum
and adhesive brittle enough
to pry up. While prying up
one section, brush the ice
along to the next section.
Be sure to wear heavy gloves
while working with the dry
ice.

Africa Purge Pushed,
Settlement Is Sought

Cape Town reports said that
by l pm. nearly 200 African
men and women had been
trucked in and locked in cells
behind the Philippi Police Sta
ton in Cape Town.
Weapons Seized .
Police also brought in many
sacks of weapons, conflscated
in their search Of Nyanga
houses. These included guns,
meat axes, iron bars, clubs,
pieces of sharpened steel and
iron tubing.
"Nyanga turned out to be an
arsenal of every kind of weap-
on imaginable - including
guns as we'll as choppers (meat
axes) j." a police official said.
There were developments
also in the johannesburg area.
The South African Press As
sociation reported that the
WitwaterSrand rifles, an in
fantry regiment, has been
modified and based at the
Rand Airport near Germiston,
just east of this city. There
was no explanation.
Scores of Africans lined up
at the johannesburg pass Office
to apply for new paSsbooks as
a result of the governments
announcement that nonwhiteS
will again be required to carry
identification papers. Most
told the same Story-their old
passes had been grabbed by
agitatorS and burned. The fee
for each application was one
pound ($2.8O.
The government came under
increasing pressure today from
businessmen to make overtureS
to Negro leaders for an end to
the racial crisis.
Some influential Afrikaner
business leaders were reported
considering an appeal to Prime
Minister Hendrix Verwoerd to
consult with non-white leaders
in search of a compromise in
the bitter, bloody conflict. Mr..
Verwoerd and his National
Party are the political spokes-
men for the Afrikaner COM
munlty. the descendants of the
country's early Dutch settlers.
Double Pinch Felt
The business leaders were
motivated by a double pinch
on the South African econ
omy-the labor shortage re-
sulting from Negro workers
staying at home in protest
against the government and
the effect on sales abroad of
boycotts of South African
goods and the threat of more
foreign sanctions.
Justice Minister F. C. Eras-
mus said yesterday, in an
nouncing reinstatement of the
pass requirement, that the gov
ernment might consider apply

to put more stress upon the ad-
vantage they hold for Negroes"

Fresh Design Urged
A third panelist, Harry K
Midway, who has built high
rise apartments in Philadel-
phia, told the group location
is all-important in trying to
lure people back into city
apartments. He also said
prospective tenants welcome a
fresh approach in architecture
and urged the builders to be
daring in this respect.
The panelistS attacked the
design contest" staged by
agencies involved in urban re-
newal projects. They said the
detail designs which the agen-
cies demand from bidding de-
veloperS are costly.
Harry Kalish, an attorney
associated with Philadelphia
redevelopment projects, said
such contests usually are mean
ingless because the winning de-
sign seldom is the one actually
executed.

for an African settlement
police and troops today
launched a massive operation
to purge strife-torn Nyanga
Negro township of Negroes
maintaining a work boycott
against the governments racial
policies.
The two big African settle

clashes earlier this week when
troops and police made raids
with clubs, guns and whips.
A strong security Gordon sur

have been melting others to
stay away from work and
threatening violence to those
who returned to their jobs.
In previous raids on the Cape
Town Negro settlements, the
police used their clubs and
whips freely against Negroes
who held back from work.
AS the Nyanga invasion was
launched. a Gordon around
nearby Langa Negro settle
ment was removed for the first
time in a week. Troops and
police were shifted to Nyanga
to reinforce the invaders there
Meanwhile, the leader of the
militant Pan Africanist Con-
gress, Robert Mangaliso So
bukwe, told a court in Johan-
nesburg today that non-white
Africans have no moral obli-
cation to obey" South African
laws which are made by a
white government.
Mr.. Sobukwe and % other
PAC leaders were charged with
inciting Negroes to defy the
laws which required non-whites
to carry pass identity cards at
all time at the risk of arrest.
Demonstrations against these
hated passes touched of the
racial strife three weeks ago.
Nyanga was described by the
South African Press ASsocia-
ton as thicker with soldiers
and policemen than it has been
since March 81" when the Pan
Africanist anti-pass campaign

Waterfront

The District will seek legis-
lation to clear the way for
redevelopment of Southwest
Washington's waterfront, the
Commissioners announc e d
today.
Alternate plans aimed at
avoiding this step have been
shelved.
The requested legislation
would permit the city to give
the District Redevelopment
Land Agency title to most of
the waterfront between Four
teenth street and Fort McNair.
This would permit the land
agency to lease the land to
private investors in line with
the redevelopment plans for the
waterfront.
The land on the Washington
Channel side of Maine avenue
now is owned by the Federal
Government. Control is split
between the city and the Army
Corps Of Engineers, but the
corps has agreed to turn over
jurisdiction of its two strips of
land to the city.
Today Commissioner Robert
E. Mclaughlin said the cor
poration counSel'S Office will
accelerate" the drafting of the
proposed legislation. officials
hope to have the bill ready for
submission to Congress within
two weeks.
BY giving RIA not only
jurisdiction but also title to the
waterfront property. officials
hope to win approval from the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency of their financing plans
for the Southwest redevelop-
ment.
The land agency has been
counting on using the water
front property as a land dona-
ton for a $2.5 million nom
cash credit toward the city's
share of the redevelopment cost
in Southwest Area C. There
had been serious questions as
to whether the Federal officials
would go along with the appli-
cation if RIA did not actually
own the land.

this point about 60 per cent
of the total should have been
enumerated.
Details of Timetable
The Census Bureau timetable
calls for 80 per cent to be
counted by Monday and COM
pletion of the count by next
Friday.
Census takers are required
to place priority on those
households where they found
no one at home when they
called the first time. These
callbacks are to be made at
least three times before CIV
ing up.
Census workers say the large
number of apartment buildings
in the District and suburbs is
giving them their biggest call
back problem.
Working Mothers
There are more working
mothers in this area than we
expected" said one census off,
cial. Others point out that in
residential areas of the District,
particularly in the Northwest,
there is an older population
where most members of the
household are working.
In each case when no one is
found at home the census taker
leaves a card notifying the oc-
cupants that the call has been
made and a time is given when
the callback will be made.
Census officials urge persons
finding these forms to Coop
crate and attempt to be home

By Soviet Test Plan

Continued From First Page
that in the Russian view this
period should be fixed by nego-
tiation. but logically would be
for two or three years. After
this period. if adequate de-
lection devices still had not
been developed, the powers. in
theory at least, would be free
to resume the testing of small
weapons.
What makes this proposal
embarrassing is. that it has in
fact been quietly talked up by
the British for a number of
weeks. The British, who believe
that a treaty even without alb
solutely infallible controls is
better than no treaty at all,
have openly favored the mora
torium idea as a way out Of
the deadlock. What the Rus
slams have done in effect is to
present them with their own
proposition.
The Americans, on the other
hand, are a good deal more re-
served about the idea. In the
first place, it violates a basic
policy against accepting any
formal ban on testing weapons
without adequate controls to
insure against cheating. In the
second place, there are a num-
Der of important people in the
Pentagon and the Atomic En-
ergy Commission who want to
continue testing small scale
bombs.
For the record, the first re-
action to the Soviet proposals
has been highly reserved. After
a quick huddle, American Am
bassador James J. Wadsworth
and British Representative Sir
Michael Wright isued identical
statements saying merely that
Mr.. Tsarapkin had come UP
with an important proposal
