for two weeks.
Opposing application for a re-
duction in bail, the prosecutor said
the case was an extremely serious
one, carrying a maximum penalty
of an $840 fine.
Defense counsel said the accused
were most anxious that justice
should be done and had no inten-
ton of disappearing. Bail was re-
duced to $42 each. The accused
were charged under a section of
the Group Areas Act.
The sit-ins have been conducted
mainly on weekends over a period
of some months. Their partici-
pants for the most part are men,
bers of the South African Liberal
Party acting in their individual
capacities and include both whites
and non-whites.
The mixed groups have been
frequenting various restaurants
both private and those sponsored
by the Cape Town City Council
requesting service. The response
has been varied. While in some
cases they have been served, for
the most part they have been re-
fused. The groups have then re-
NAMED sitting quietly in the res
taurants for some time before leav-
ing.
The argument of most of the
restaurant managers has been
that service to non-whites is pro-
hibited under South Africa's Group
Areas Act, which reserves facili-
ties and residential zones for var
ious racial groups. The sit-in par
Elephants, however, say they have

doubt upon the prospects of a sue
cessful prosecution against them
under the act.
The sit.ins have been inspired
by similar demonstrations in the
United States against segregated
restaurant facilities and a ban on
Negro customers.
In Cape Town the campaign
has been notable for it's relative
freedom from incidents. On one
or two occasions whites have
made insulting remarks, but fer
the most part the demonstrators
have sat in amity with the white
clientele, and on some occasions
whites have congratulated them
and repeatedly offered help.
Cape Town, of course, has a
mellower atmosphere than some
other South African cities-per-
haps because whites and nom
whites have been living alongside
one another there ever since the
white man first set foot in South
Africa 300 years ago. The re-
action has not been SO moderate
in some other cities where dem
constructors tried to extend the sit
in campaign.
Meanwhile, the government this
weekend seized the passport of yet
another Of it's political opponents
this time that of Hugh Levin.
the young vice-president of the
National Union of South African
Students. This student group has
been active in it's opposition to
the government, particularly on
the grounds of government inter-
ference with the universities. (The
government has ordered segrega-
ton of certain universities which
have been admitting a small num-
Der of non-white students along
side whites.)
Mr.. Levin visited Ghana and
Nigeria during an overseas trip
last year. The passport seizure
means that he is now confined to
South Africa.
The president of the union, Ad-
rian Leftwich, in a statement de-
scribed the seizure as a typical
government action in IAN attempt
to intimidate the union and its Of
ficers from continuing opposition

the same period 1968-6O, the lowest

Sermon-In-Song
vespers At
Jackson State
College Sunday

The Jackson State College Yes
per hour will present an unusual
sound Sunday, February s, when
Hobart Mitchell presents his Ser
mon-in-Song. Mr.. Mitchell, who
regularly appears on the campuses
of the leading institutions of high
er learning in the United States,
is regarded as extremely interest
ing and worthwhile. z
Sermon-in-Song is a synthesis of
sacred music and the spoken word.
Each of the sermons opens with
a solo, after which the spoken text
and sacred music alternate in de-
veloping the message. Though
Sermon-in-Song is highly unusual,
the sermons themselves are thor
oughly serious in character, sim
pie and direct in message.
The public is cordially invited to
attend this program which Is
scheduled for 400 pm. in the
Dansby Hall Auditorium.

The movements "three great
contributions" were emphasizing
the urgency Of practical desegre-
cation action, providing the initia-
tive for constructive discussions
among community leaders, and
demonstrating in pilot situations
that desegregation is possible with
out long delays" the Report stated.
Student demonstrations in 1860
were "too numerous to tabulate,"
said the Report, "but by May, Al
had occurred in South Carolina
alone, involving 4,037 students. OF
these, 586 had been arrested and
492 convicted"
The demonstrators were charged
with variety of % crimes-rang-
ing from trespassing to violating
an anti-mask statute-"but none
was charged with violating segre-
CATION statutes" the Report found.
The Report-until 1868, known
as the Annual Lynching Report
concludes this years assessment
section with partial repeat Of an
opinion stated in its 1868 edition:
.. Until Negroes enjoy the
opportunity to give Of Their talents
in planning and building for total
advancement Of their communities,
the South will hardly be able to
move out of position Of economic
disadvantage, cultural limitation,
and emotional distress.

us. Navy Doubts
 Reds Have Fastest Nuclear Sub Fleet

WASHINGTON R - "We don't believe itv was the reaction yes- terday of a top Navy anti-sub- marine warfare authority to So- viet claim that the Soviet Union has the worlds fastest fleet of nuc1ear submarines.
 The authority, who did not want to be quoted by name, said the Navy thinks the Soviets have a small fleet of nuclear submarines.
 But he added: "H they have submarine up to the state of the Nautilus we'd be surprised"
 The Nautilus was the first nu- clear submarine. It was commis- stoned about seven years ago and the Navy since has envolved more advanced models.
 The US. fleet now has IA nu- clear attack submarines. A 18th will be commissioned shortly.
 Thirteen others are in various stages of construction. Also with the fleet is nuclear submarine armed with 500-mile range Regu- lus guided missiles.
 An increasingly important ele- ment of us. striking power is the Polaris submarine, capable of firing atomic-tipped rockets over 1,200 miles. Six of these are at sea or close to combat readiness. Thirteen more either have been launched or are being built.
 The Navy has conceded the So- viets the capability to build nu- clear submarines, but has not re- ported, sighting any.
 One authority estimated the So- viets are between seven and eight years behind the United States in what he called a rudinentary state of the art.

Chico Marx Is Dead at 70

HOLLYWOOD N-Chico Marx, oldest member of the famed Marx Brothers who transformed low comedy into high art, died today at his home. He was 70.
 He had been hospitalized last May with what was first described as chest ailment.
 Chico and his brothersGrou- cho, Harpo, Zeppo and Gummo created a brand of comedy all their own wildly improbable joyously irreverent, supremely !l- logical and almost painfully fun ny to low brows and iIitellectuals, alike.
 Their zany antics, with sugges- tive winks, leers, whistles and wisecracks. gave vaudeville and movie fans chuckles and belly laughs for nearly half century.

CAB Suspends Pan Am's Proposal to Lower Fare Between Seattle Fairbanks

WASHINGTON tA The Civil Aeronautics Board has suspended proposal of Pan American World Airways to reduce jet fares between Seattle and Fair banks.
 Commenting also that certain advertising of Seattle-F Fairbanks service by Alaska Airlines "ap- pears to be an unfair practice and method of competition" the board ordered an investigation of the reasonableness of air fares between the two cities.
 Pan American had proposed to reduce it's deluxe class jet fare from SIPS to $99, and it's jet tour ist fare from $99 to $90, and to redesignate these services as first class and economy class. respec- lively.
 Alaska Airlines had filed com plaint that the fares were un- economic, and that the $9 differ ential between the two fare levels violated the CAB policy that coach fares shall not exceed 75 per cent of the first class fare.
 Alaska has proposed to reduce it's fare fnr the one class Of serv- ice it operates from $99 to 800. The CAB has not yet acted on Alaska's proposal.
 Pan American did not argue that the reduced fares would be economic CT desirable as that which Alaska has charged for it's Convair 880 single-class jet serv- ice.
