DALLAS, Dec. 7 CAP).-A
fourth-grade teacher in Dallas,
who wrote to a national maya
zine saying the city Of Dallas

has been suspended.
School Supt. w. T. White
today confirmed the suspension
OF Mrs. Eleanor Cowan, a
member of the Robert L.

Mr.. White said the suspen-
sion was temporary and would
last until an investigation into
the matter is complete" He
would not say how long the
probe would take.
Mrs. Cowan's letter to the
editor appeared In Time mag

THE city of Dallas paved the
way for the tragic event here.
Being a lifetime Dallasite, am
so ashamed.
For several years I have
seen the seed of hate being
planted by our newspapers and
many Of the leaders Of Dallas.
No matter what the President
has been for, these people have
been against.
"As q teacher in Dallas,
have tried to instill in my
students a respect for the
leaders Of our country. How
can they ever grow up to be
good citizens when the newspa-
pers, their parents and the
leaders Of their own city
preach dissension? I cannot
understand these people.
Don't let anyone fool you.
Dallas is as responsible as
anyone, If not through action

Africans Continue
To Talk War
On South Africa

London CAMP - One of the
strongest vows to rid South Africa
Of apartheid and to strip Portugal
of its Black colonies to be made
by a responsible African leader
fell from the lips of Julius K.
Nyerere, president of Tanganyil1a,
during his recent visit here.
His pledge - "to fight our way
into Mozambique and Angola" and
"to fight without calculating
whether we shall win" to end
South Africa's racial abuses - Is
looked upon as being highly sig
nificant because Nyerere is gener-
ally regarded as a moderate.
It means that the African heads
Of state, expected to converge
upon the United Nations in New
York next month in response to a
resolution adopted at Dal1ar, will
be determined that some punitive
action be taken to force changes
in the policies Of Portugal and
South Africa.
Nyerere, who is no Africanist in
the racial sense, made his state
ment enroute to Dar-es-Salaam
after having made state visits to
Canada, the United States and
England.
Taking a swipe at Portugals
claims for Mozambique, the Tan
ganyiEan chief Of state said, IT
refuse to believe that Mozambique
is not African, but part of Port
ugal. The Portuguese must talk
sense. Like everyone else, they
must realize that their African
territories are colonies. Let them
say, If they like, that change is a
question of timing. Let them talk
of 10 to Is year period. Not long
before we in Tanganyika got self
government, we were told that 1t
would take rs years.

istence of the white man in Africa.
We have never done that. It Is a
