British Critics
Now Shocked

LONDON. April 9 (AP)-
Shocked British officials ex-
pressed fear today the at
tempted assassination of Prime
Minister Hendrix Verwoerd will
be followed by more outbursts
in South Africa's interracial
strife.
First word of the shooting
reached No. 10 Downing street,
from the Associated Press. IT
was Immediately reported to
Prime Minister Macmillan
weekending at his country home
Of Birch Grove, 80 miles outside
London. -r=
Phones Commissioner
1t was understood Mr.. Mac
milan Immediately ordered a
telephone call to be made to
Britain's high commissioner in
Cape Town. Sir John Maud.
There were official express
sionS Of regret in various ma
tionS.
I'VE always denounce acts of
violence" said Danish Premier
Viggo Kampamann. "Tha t
won't get you anywhere. Vio-
lence breeds violence"
Premier Jan de Quay of The
Netherlands called the assassi-
nation attempt regrettable.
| Lester B.. Pearson, Liberal
former foreign secretary of
Canada, declared in Ottawa,
THE shooting can only serve
to worsen an already tragic
situation"
Perils Seen
AS the British saw the situa.
ton, these seemed to be the
Iperils:,
/. The shooting, by a white
man believed to be of English
extraction, might rouse Mr..
Verwoerd's militant govern
ment and rank and file ma
tionalist supporters to drastic
reprisals. ~ e.,
Any suggestion that English
speaking South Africans were
associated with the assassina-
tion attempt inevitably would
aggravate the feud between
Afrikaaners and English-speak-
ing South Africans.
2. Taking advantage of the
feud, extremist leaders of the
unions 10 million Negroes
might be tempted to use the
existing confusion to stage new
demonstrations of militancy.
These could produce even
greater displays of countervio-
lence by the nationalist gov
ernment.

spoke Verwoerd's name softly
then drew his gun and fred as
the Prime Minister turned
toward him.
The witnesses said the
assassin was a wealthy man
who lives on a farm about 80
miles from johannesburg.
Riots Put Down
A little less than three weeks
ago police shot and killed 70
Africans and wounded more
than 200 as the nations Afri-
cans demonstrated.
The campaign brought a
series of riots and clashes be-
tween police and Africans in
its wake.
The turmoil was beginning
to ebb when Mr.. Verwoerd was
shot.
Mr.. Verwoerd was conscious
and able to talk with physicians
and his wife, who was at his
bedside.
The physicians said an oper-
alton to remove the bullets was
not urgent and specialists would
decide later when to per-
form it.
This official announcement
was broadcast:
"The Prime Minister has
been examined by three we'll
known specialists who have
stated that his general condi-
ton is satisfactory and that he
has not suffered any injury tc
the brain.
"He speaks to the doctors and
understands everything they
say. He has not been uncon-
scious at any time.
"He was wounded twice. One
bullet entered the right ear
and the other the right cheek
The latter bullet went through
the roof of the mouth and frac-
tured the right upper jaw"
8 The aSsailant had a jacket
around his head when he ar
rived at Marshal Square police
headquarters in johannesburg
His own jacket, carried out o1
the police car separately, had
a cardboard lapel badge indicat-
ing an administrative position
in the agricultural society spon-
soring the exposition, the South
African Press Association re-
ported.

we grabbed him he fired a
second shot. Both shots hit the
Premier.
"A number of people, includ-
ing two policemen, jumped for

and an official picked it up
There was a great deal of con-
fusion. The Prime Minister was
bleeding very badly"
Mr.. Gorshel said the pistol
had another four bullets, one In
the breech, when it was re-
trieved.
Bullets fractured Mr.. Ver-
words jaw in two places, tore
through the roof of his mouth
and ripped his right ear.
Jaw Fractured
The latest medical bulletin
said x-rays disclosed the Pre-
'mier's lower jaw, in addition tc
the right upper jaw, was frac-
tured.
Blood streamed from his face
and mouth as he fell into the
arms Of his wife, the mother o1
their seven children. She wept
as she comforted him. Mrs. Ver-
woerd had seen the gunman's
intention and lunged forward
to intervene, a moment toe

and his eyes seemed glazed al

reaction. Men jostled ano
