Suffer Losses
In New Riots
2Whites Wounded
Negro Constable
Hacked to Death

CAPE TOWN, South Africa,
April 5 (AP).-Two South Afri-
can white policemen were in
jured and a Negro policeman
hacked to death today in a new
outburst of race rioting at the
big Nyanga Negro settlement
east of Cape Town.
The South African Press As
sociation reported these casual
ties were announced by Mai
j. j. Rheeder, district COM
mandant of police at Athlone,
east of Cape Town.
The newspaper Cape Argus
reported at least five Negroes
were wounded when police
opened fire in Nyanga.
The newspaper said the
wounded included a 7-year-old
child and an elderly woman,
both shot in the legs.
The outbreak came as police
with armore cars ranged
through Nyanga, beating up
Africans in an attempt to get
them to go back to work, wit
nesseS reported.
Scattered outbreaks of vio-
lence by Negroes opposing
South Africa's white supremacy
laws also were reported at
Johannesburg and Durb a n
after a quiet night.
Riot Incitement Charged
Reports trickled in from
other areas of Negroes ar
rested on charges of melting
to riot and burning the pass
books all nonwhites must carry.
For the second straight day,
however, the center of trouble
was Cape Town, the legislative
capital.
Mai. Rheeder said the two
injured white policemen were
struck with clubs.
Maj. Rheeder said a police
patrol made up of an armored
car, an armored troop carrier
and several riot trucks moved
into the big Nyanga settlement
early today to protect Negroes
who wanted to return to work.
I'VE told the people there
that we had come to protect
those who wished to go to work
and that buses were waiting for
them," he said.
Slain Mans Gun Gone
while we were talking, we
heard shots being fired. These
shots must have been fired by
African Constable Mokosolo,
who was armed with a revolver.
I'VE found the body of Con-
stable Mokosolo who had been
hacked to death. His revolver
was missing. People who wit
messed his murder said he emp
tied his revolver at his at
tackers."
Maj. Rheeder said that the
"Nyanga location today is alive
with defiant stay-aways (work
strikers"
The big Nyanga settlement,
along with the Langa settle
ment, has been a tense spot
ever since the rioting began
March 81 in protest against
South Africa's pass laws.
Police claimed that in both
places terrorists have been in
timidating thousands of other
Negroes into staying away from
work in a two-week boycott
that has sorely crippled the
Cape peninsula's industry and
trade.

is putting 1t mildly when
describing my emotions after
reading Andy Teter's letter
in last weeks issue.
Mr.. Teter processes to pity
animals, but If this is true.
how could he possibly desire
to turn them loose to the
dangers of city streets, the
cruelty of teasing children
and hunger, not to mention
the elements?
Andy Teter also believes
that people love animals only
for the ways in which they
benefit mankind. The teen
ayers who wrote letters tell
ing of the beneficial deeds
performed by animals. only
used these examples to cite
the ways in which animals
are useful as well as para
sitic."
Mr.. Teter also stated that
he pities animals because
they have become worship
perS of men" and because
they are so dependent on
men. Aren't children, too.
dependent on men, but does
Mr.. Teter suggest that they
be left to fend for them
selves?
It's true that some people
such as horse racers and
trainers use animals merely
for their own amusement
and pleasure, but think Of
the number Of invalid chill
dren and unwanted aged
folks who have found an es-
cape for their pent-up affec-
tions in the form of a help
less puppy or kitten.
Andy Teter, why not stop a
moment and think of the
hasty opinions that you
stated and instead of dislik-
ing, why not substitute some
admiration for the pet own
erS and others who have
made a place in their hearts
for these lovable as well as
useful members Of the ami
NAL kingdom?

Horrors

Recently, on a local tele-
vision show for teen-agers,
the emcee was relating the
way in which a certain movie
would affect those who saw
1t. You'll scream, you'll gig
gle," he said.
He then said that the place
where this particular movie
was being shown had facil-
tiles to occupy the kiddies
called a "play area" thus
implying that the whole fam
lily should come out to see
this fllm.
A few scenes from the
movie were shown, one Of
which depicted a woman
hanging Imply from a board
with a knife in her throat.
Now really! Just because
there is an over-abundance
of horror" movies is no rea-
son for an emcee to spend
three or four minutes advis-
ing the viewers to take their
families out to a drive-in
someplace and watch garbage
like this which is constantly
being foisted off on the pub
lie as entertainment" Some
people will do ANYTHING

Sugar

In the July IT Talking
1t Over" column, I noted
that four out of five Wash
ington area teen-agers seem
to approve the cutting of
our sugar purchases from
Cuba. Let me state my rea-
sons for not approving it.
First, as is obvious, this
will bring more anti-Amer-
ican action from Castro, and
now he will have even greater
support from the Cubans,
who grow and harvest sugar.
Second, CaStro'S charge
that the United States wants
to make economic slaves Of
small countries will seem to
be proven. This proof" will
not win us friends in South,
America, among the new ma
tions Of Africa, or among the
nations of Asia.
Third, this will practically
drive Cuba to the Commu-
nistS. Russia has gained a
huge cause for its propa-
ganda machine and a chance
at putting up a Communist
puppet state 80 miles off our
shores.
These seem to me Suff1-
cient reasons for trying other
measures to solve the Cuban
crisis.

After having listened to two
older men discuss the GOLD AGE
ASSISTANCE PLAN IN MISSIS-
SIPPI", / came to the conclusion
that some sort of work shop should
be set up to explain to these peo-
pie the real meaning of Social Sc
curity and Old Age Assistance.
Too many of our people do not
take the daily newspapers nor
any other periodicals to find out
just what is going on in the
world. Young. people should read
the papers with comprehension,
then explain it to their elders.
In that way, the elders will be
able to argue facts instead of
what that man said" about GER
tain issues. | know some of our
young people who never read any
thing but the comics, and would
not know that we ever had a war
unless someone told them about it.
A Memphis Newspaper sponsors
High School Television Quiz
show every Saturday and the
scores are marked according to
the knowledge of the student de-
rived from the paper. If the pa
ger has been thorough read with
understanding, the student has no
problem scoring an excellent grade.
We so badly need the same type
of program to encourage our
young and older people to read the
news. If some prominent person
PASS away, some of us would new
er know it unless we were told
by someone else, but let "single
girl err or a married man stray
from the fold", then the Telephone
operators can't keep enough cir
cults open for important calls. The
lines will be extremely busy until
some more rire gossip is ready to
be passed around.

of reading, you will not have the

Raciism In Moscow
The New York Times

Moscow is showing acute signs of embarrassment
about the fact that of racst incident at Moscow
University has reached the outside world 1t has
tered its fire Stanley Omar Okullo, young man
from Uganda who formerly studied at Moscow Unver-
sity Mr. Okulos crime was to report that young
Somal student at Moscow University beaten
conscious last May when he asked Russian girl to
dance with him. Even the Soviet press apparently does
not dare deny that something of the sort happened but
contents itself with claiming the account is distorted
Soviet authorities felt it necessary to bar nom Commu
mist reporters from meeting called to get African stu
dents at Moscow University to deny the story This i'm
plies Immediately that there much fire behind
the smoke here than the Kremn would like the out
side world to know.
But it did not require this incident to prove that
there is racism in Moscows realm. All Soviet people
supposedly equal but it obvious to the most
superficial observer that the Great Russian peop~-
whom Russians must refer to our elder brother
are much equal than others, in George Orwels
sense of that term The prevalence of anti Semitsm in
the Soviet Union has long been notorious. Notorious,
too is the discrimination practced against the native
peoples of Soviet Asia particularly in Kazakhstan,
where flood of Slavic settlers from European Russia

more claim to be product of Soviet reality than the

putting end to demonstrations would be in the ma
tonal interest because the standing of the United

The voluntary desegregation of Southern depart

can be made in ending racial discrimination in quiet
and effective manner than of the pessimstc
think possible.
Another conclusion to be drawn from the quiet adj

Racial Friction

assert they have been denied GER
tain social rights granted to
whites.
Here, the point of friction has
been the local, privately owned
swimming POOL, the only one in
town available to the public. Ne
groes have not been able to pur-
chase memberships. Neither have
they been allowed to enter on a
purchased-ticket basis.
To Negroes, some townspeople,
and many faculty members at the
University of Kansas, which is To-
Gated in Lawrence, this situation
seemed incredible. For Lawrence
traces its lineage back to the New
England families who proudly went
west carrying abolitionist banners
proclaiming Kansas free soil.
The city was named for Amos
Lawrence, treasurer and benefac-
tor of the New England Emicrant
Aid Society, which paid for pass
age of many abolitionists. Law
renee in those pre- Civil War days
was known variously as the Yam
kee town." the Athens of Free
Kansas" or that "abolitionist
sinkhole," depending on the epith-
et-users' Point of view.
From its beginning as a bas-
ton of abolitionist principles, Law
renee has evolved to a heterogen-
eous community of 10000 resi-
dents, many from the South.
These Southerners brought with
them social attitudes to which To-
cal merchants felt they had to
cater. AS a result, Lawrence be-
came in many respects more South
ern than Northern, Negroes could
not eat in certain restaurants, anil
they were segregated in local
theaters.
In the past few years, however,
through the persistent but quiet
efforts of university students and
faculty members in cooperation
with local merchants and the Law
renee Chamber of Commerce, this
discrimination in public places has
slowly melted away.
But no break was made in the
swimming pool situation. This
led to action this summer by the
lawrence League for the Prac-
tice of Democracy ULPD) to at
tempt again to achieve integration
in the local pool.
The move failed, and as it work
ed it's way toward failure the SUBJ

surface tensions in the community

Indicative of this situation was
the local daily newspapers pos

ton, and mutual respect. But it

eve also attempted to lease the
rcol." he said. "But we were re-
fused"
The owner contended that a
poll of members showed that an
overwhelming number opposed in
tegration. What is more, the
owner declared, the pool was a
private business that was not suo-
ject to outside coercion"
This was the same argument
used at Lawrence City Council
meeting when the LLPD appear
ed to ask that a city law licensing
the pool be retained and not re-
pealed, as the council was con-
sidering. The LLPD planned to
take the matter to court using a
state law which holds that any
business licensed to serve the pub
lie cannot discriminate.
During the council meeting,
Mayor John T. Weatherwax said
he was in general sympathy with
Indignation but was opposed to-
forcing" a private business to in =
tegrate.
At this point, a group of Ne
groes in the community and some
students at the university decided
to picket the pool. Mr.. Shaffer
said the LLPD had considered
picketing but did not feel this was
a proper course of action in Law
renee.
With the picketing came a fur

Vandals left garbage, an effigy,
and dead fish on Mr.. Shaffer's
porch. And, finally, the owner of
the pool leased it to Kansas City
group which will reopen it next
year as a private club. While the
new owners said that the matter
CT migrating the club will be
discussed by the members, Mr..
Shaffer comedies there is no pos
sibility of opening it to Negroes.
What, then, was accomplished?
