The ban applies to all races
until June 80 and followed the
killing of about 80 Negroes and
the wounding of more than 200

| New racial troubles erupted
today in the big Nyanga Negro
settlement near Cape Town,
where a crowd of Africans
marched out and demanded
that they be arrested for defy
ing laws that require them to
carry pass books. Earlier the
Negroes barricaded the settle
ment with oil drums and set
fires in the street. Whites ven-
turing into the settlement were
ordered out. Strong police
forces penetrated the barri-
cades later, and called out
armored cars to control the
situation.
Powerful Force Needed
The ban on public meetings,
it was first announced, would
apply to the three major cities
of Johannesburg, Durham and
Cape Town. But Col. j. C. Lem
