Now has come more legisla-
ton for more bannings and
more massive police action.
The new legislation has six
main provisions. 1t provides
for the indefinite detention in
prison of political offenders
after expiry of their sentence;
for police officers to order 90
day incommunicado detention,
which can be repeated an in
definite number of times; of
people they. think can give in
formation about subversion;
for new capital offenses which
include urging, while abroad;
intervention in South Africa
by force; for the postal author
tiles to check mail for suspect
material; for making key places
and industries no-entry areas,
with a penalty or UP to Is years
for unauthorized entry; and for
summary trials without pre-
paratory examination.
When he explained the terms
of the new legislation, the Min
iSter of Justice. Balthazar J.
Vorster, was asked if the pro-
vision allowing the detention
of persons for repeated periods
of 80 days would not create a
permanent state of emergency.
He replied that the effect
would be to obviate a state of
emergency. 81 do not want ta
proclaim an emergency" no
said.
The Opposition United Party
itself supports this drastic leg
islation and opposed only some
details during the passage
through Parliament.
During the month of April
376 Africans were arrested in
South Africa for alleged politi-
cal offenses, and they are all
being held under either the
Suppression of Communism
Act or the Anti-Sabotage Act.
During the last few days of the
month it was announced that
more than 100" arrests still
were to be made. In the case Of
those held under the Suppress
sion of COMMUNISM Act, there
is no need for any link with
any Communist organization to
be proved. The Minister of
Justice is entitled to decide
what is communism.

The doctrine for treason now
has been extended to otherwise
innocent activities such as Civ
ing evidence before q United
Nations committee. with the
onus so heavily against the ac-
cused that in theory a man
could be hanged on the evil
dence provided by report in a
foreign newspaper. A man
can be put on trial for his life
without.a preliminary exami-
nation, and thus without
knowing what case he has to
meet.
Any postmaster now may
open any letter or stop any
telegram. ANY organization can
be designated a banned group
with all the penalties attached
to that description. Habeas
corpus has been abolished in,
political cases, and any police
officer may keep anyone III
prison for three months at a
time and keep him incommuni-
cado.
For more than 10 years that
the government has been en-
powered to ban and exile peo-
pie, the power has been widely
used. There have been states of
emergency, with massive police
and military action, and wide
spread arrests. The number of
people already under house
arrest, forbidden to communi-
cate with even their CLOSETS
friends, is considerable.
The number barred from
public life is even greater. And
now, at the end of it all, the
government has found that it
still does not have sufficient
power to cope with unrest"

Negroes - giving them the news and COM
ment and opinions which interpret the news
in the light of the hopes and aspirations and
problems closest the minds and hearts of the
new American Negro.
So much of this news and comment is
exclusive, appearing nowhere else, that the
local Negro newspaper fills vital need which
no general medium, and no other type of
Negro medium, can satisfy.
That's why the new Negro city-dweller
gladly pays for his own newspaper. He's
like the American tourist i'm London who,
though surrounded by British papers, hunts
up the European edition of an American
Newspaper to get his news.
Now it's easy for any business to reach
this Uncommon Market anywhere in the
state by advertising in the one Newspaper
that is read by Negroes throughout the
state.
After 21 years of publication we are con-
fident of our service and the returns to our
advertisers. We gladly assist in public-re-
lations, sales promotion, and merchandising
for our advertisers.

It's Uncommon because of its rapidly
growing purchasing power.
It's Uncommon because more than
third of our Negro families are now in the
top cities of the State.
Grocer Graphic says: 'The Negro mar
ket is the fastest-growing' market in the
u. S. economy"
"A giant is awakening" says the New
York Herald Tribune" He is the Negro con-
sumer with more money to spend and more
sophisticated tastes to satisfy"
"Advertising to the Negro is probably
the area of biggest failing by marketers,"
says Sales Management. "While they may
be sold by product advertised in the regu-
lar media, chances are they could be easily
unsold by competitors ads in a special
Negro medium
Negro newspapers are the Especial Ne
gro medium" used by more national adver-
tisers than any other medium addressed to
Negroes.
They provide the uncommon way to
reach this Uncommon Market, because Ne
gro newspapers are written, edited and pub
lished by Negroes, for Negroes and about

ers strong.
This is the ninth year Of
existence for the group, the
first as an independent outfit.
In the past the RBBA has
entered teams in the Montgom-
cry County Boys Baseball Asso-
citation leagues, natural thing
to do since the two associations
had identical founders, but 1868
marks a milestone.
Strong enough and big enough
to operate by itself, the associa-
ton is now a model sandlOt
group, entirely volunteer work
staffed, blessed with q large
group of cooperative sponsors,
interesting enough to attract the
attention of baseball enthusiasts
for miles around.
Much of the credit for the
successful operation of the asso.
citation must go to the Rockville
service clubs, Optimists, Lions,
KiwaniS, Rotary and Civilian.
These clubs are the backbone of
that group of sponsors strength
ened by a compliment of bust
nessmen in the city.

provides for the usual limita-
tons on pitching that are found
in most every little league type
organization throughout the
land.

Involves the system of farm
