EIizobeth's S Secret Out:
Boby's Name Is Andy

LONDON, Mar. % (AP).-
Britain's royal family today un-
wrapped a secret-the baby in
Buckingham Palace is named
Prince Andrew.
His full name is Andrew AL
bert Christian Edward. But he
will be known as Prince Andrew
and already the palace staff is
calling him Andy.
Andrew is an unusual name
for British royalty. Queen Eliza
beth II plainly chose it as a
tribute to her husband, whose
father was the late Prince
Andrew of Greece.
British royalty has not had
an Andrew in about 500 years,
according to reference books.
The last was a son of Robert II
of Scotland at the close of the
14th century.
Along with announcing the
names, the palace released first
photographs of the bay Prince
born little more than a month
ago. The pictures will be pub
lished in morning papers.

such as the Marshall plan
tended to be undertaken in

that false political alternatives
lead to false decisions. He
added:
"And I fear that we have

such false choices-as if our

between negotiations and mill

economic development of new
nations and the fiscal stability
OF our own Nation, between
arms control and an armament
program, between making
commitments to other nations

In South Africa
State Department
Issues Comment on
Killing Of Natives
BY the Associated Press

In an extraordinary action
the United States today de-
nounced police violence against
Negro demonstrators in South
Africa.
A statement issued at the
State Department admitted
that the rioting of the past few
days and the measures taken
against it constitute an inter-
nal matter of another country
on which the United States
does not normally comment.
State Department Press Off,
Ger Lincoln White declined to
say whether the statement was
made because the United States
Government wanted to express
dissatisfaction with the racial
segregation policies of the
South African government.
Negro mobs have been dem
onstrating against South At
rica's white supremacy laws.
Reports from Johannesburg
said police had fired on the
mobS again today.
Yesterday they killed at
least 64 Africans and wounded
$50 others.
Mr.. White issued this state
ment when asked at a news
conference whether he had any
reaction to police firing on the
demonstrators:
THE United States deplores
violence in all its forms and
hopes that the African people
OF South Africa will be able
to obtain redress for legitimate
grievances by peaceful means.
While the United States as
4 matter of practice does not
ordinarily comment on the in
ternal affairs of governments
with which it enjoys normal
relations. 1t cannot help but
regret the tragic loss of life
resulting from the measures
taken against the demonstra-
tors in South Africa"
