white or black except with speci-
fic magisterial permission.
The effect of the ban on African
political organizations will be to
remove the last medium for pol
itiCal expression of the organized
Africans who are at the crux of
the South African color problem.
These channels for African ex-
preston already are slight. The
government is this year removing
from the all-white Parliament the
seven lone whites among more than
200 legislators who have fought for
the cause of their millions of At
rican constituents.
Even African National Congress
leaders such as Mr.. LuthuH have
been restricted to their home areas
and prohibited from attending
meetings, and of course the Con-
gress is barred from a voice in
Parliament. Nevertheless, till now
it has been something of a forum
for African political views and
demands. This forum now is to be
eliminated.
Result Uncertain
THE Associated Press reported
all leaves were cancelled for South

apparently is designed to provide

region, where tension continues
high-)
Whether the bannings will stifle
all African political opposition or
simply drive it underground to re-
appear in a more extreme form
is a moot point, however Already
the breakaway Pan-Africanists are
pursuing a more extreme line
than that of the original African
National Congress, and the temper
of their leaders appears high.
With these latest actions, the
government clearly is determined
to maintain its tough line on the
whole issue of African unrest and
Illustration, despite a torrent of
adverse comment from the outside
world-and some pleas for modera-
ton even from it's own press. With
its broad ban on African political
activity it apparently has brushed
aside the plea Of the pro-govern-
ment Cape Town newspaper Die
Burger this week to win and mob
ilize moderate African opinion.
Die Burger warns in an editorial
that sporadic African resistance
could develop into a general at
tempt at revolution.
Meanwhile, in a fortnight edi-
torial March rs the Cape Town
anti-govenment Cape Times says
South Africa's trouble is not sim
ply that it has not kept up with
world trends on color. The trouble
is it says, that for the last 10
years South Africa has been going
violently against the trend.
Our determinations are based
on race and race only, a conception
which made its appearance in the
modern world for a fleeing period
only in Germany under Hitler"
This country, says the Cape
Times, has in the last year seen
fit to violate nearly every con-
ception of civilization and West
ern democracy. The country is
utterly dependent on black labor
but blacks are allowed no effective
trade union or similar organiza-
ton"

The Mount st. Albans
Super Sixty Club is doing a
lot of little things in a big
way.
With a membership of
about IS. the Spry oldsters
meet in Satterlee Hall of st.
Adams Church four times a
week. There are craft and
painting classes; a number
roll bandageS for the Red
Cross, and every Thursday
afternoon the whole group
meets for a social hour.
The club, which has just
celebrated its fifth birthday,
through the years has been
under the planning hand of
Mrs. Robert Poole.
Marjorie Poole, who as a
little girl saw a beloved
great-uncle fail in health
and hearing and become a
lonesome old man, says that
the purpose of the organiza-
ton is to help the members
occupy their time and make
friendS-"this gives them
more confidence in them
selves" she adds.
Although the project is
sponsored by st. Adams
Church and the Episcopal
Diocese of Washington, the
