Bill, it will be impossible to report
what Mandela has to say in his
defense when he goes on trial.
SOUTHER RHODESIA'S
church leaders have appealed to
Prime Minister Sir Edgar White
head to call an immediate con-
ference Of all political parties Ito
break the deadlock Of opposition
which so gravely threatens this
country and all its people," Jack
Watson, AMP correspondent in
Salisbury, said the church leaders
also have come out strongly in op-
position to the proposed new legis-
lation designed to clamp down on
political gangsterism." In their
view, according to Watson, many
Of the provisions Of the proposal
are repugnant. Clearly they feel
that toughening up the law will
be merely an attempt to press the
lid of the kettle down harder and
they don't think it will work"
Watson reports >.
CHURCHES BACKING the ap-
peal, which is addressed to the
Prime Minister but also to the
general public, are the Roman
Catholic, Anglican, Methodist and
Presbyterian. They are asking for
a large-scale assembly Of all pol
itical leaders Of all races before
the policies Of attack and counter
attack reduce our country to
ruins" The church leaders feel
that If their appeal is rejected, it
may well spell the end Of all posi-
BILE negotiation with consequences
Of incalculable gravity" Summing
up the appeal to Watson, the Rev.
F. .Rea said: I'VE are at the part
ing Of the ways. Both sides should
be prepared to make honorable
compromises. Deadlock has been
reached over the existing fran
chise and an election under 1t
would be a farce"
JOMo KENYATTA, Kenya's
co-minister Of state and president
of the Kenya African National I'm
ion party (KANU), has come out
in his own defense following re-
cent attacks against him in the
Kenya press. The attacks on Ken
yatta, who Is still regarded as the
most popular man on the Kenya
political front, began to mushroom
after he addressed a KANU pol
itical rally in Nairobi In which he
criticized leaders who receive for
eign money for their own personal
ends. The attacks ceased, accord
ing to AMP Correspondent Mo-
named A. Koor, after Kenyatta
elaborated on what he said during
the rally =.
IT REFUTE most categoricaIly
allegations that I am against
seeking investment funds from
foreign countries" Kenyatta said
in reply to criticisms leveled at
him by Peter Kibisu, acting gen.
eral secretary of the Kenya Fed
Grafton Of Labor, and a group Of
other trade union leaders. "As the
minister Of state for economic de-
velopment, I know and appreciate
fully Kenya's need for economic aid
and capital investment from over
seas" he said in a written, signed
statement. He said he gave whole
hearted support to loans arranged
on honorable terms and the uses
to which the monies will be put
are publicly known" -.
KENYATTA ADDED: What
am against and what I attacked
at the rally Sunday was foreign
monies which are given to indiv-
iduals for the purpose Of helping
them to corrupt leaders and people
In an attempt to build themselves
politically. 1t is well known that
this sort of corruption led, for ex-
ample in the Congo, to the disin-
tegration Of the country and elm
nation Of some Of its best nation
