Claremont, near Durban. The po¬

sion.
Included among the number
beaten—with clubs was an Af¬
rican priest attired in bis cas¬
sock. A woman was clubbed, and
nolice stormed into a house and
beat an African ns be lay asleep
in bed.
The attacks, howe.ver, were not
without retaliation. In Nyanga, a
non-white constable was found
dend, his body hacked to bits and
his revolver stolen.
The government, in an attempt
to justify the wholesale beatings,
claimed the police were called in
to assist those Africans who
wanted to return to work, but
feared victimization by those ad¬
vocating the “stay-at-home" pol¬
icy. They were said to have of¬
fered full protection to any Af¬
rican wanting to go to work, but
from all reports, there are no
signs of acceptance.
As the week wore along, 14
white ministers of the Church of
England publicly deplored the vio¬
lence, to which the acting police
commission replied that "if any
innocent Africans were abused,
they were free to go to police au¬
thorities and report it.”
Meanwhile, the Rt. Rev. Am¬
brose Reeves, Anglican Bishop of
Johannesburg, who revealed im¬
mediately following the March 21
slaughter, that police had fired
without warning into a crowd of
natives at Sharpesville, fled the
Union to avoid possible arrest. He
has taken up asylum in Swaziland
until it can be learned if the South
African government was going to
take him into custody.
The bishop therefore joins two
other known opponents of the gov¬
ernment’s policy in exile. They are

Toward the end of the week,
with the situation still much the
same, police rounded up 1,590
African men and women the big¬
gest arrest to date and released
all but 162 after screening at a
police station. At. the same time,
the government reinstituted the
pass law, which requires each Af¬
rican to possess documents iden¬
tifying him and stating his busi¬
ness in urban areas.
In an effort to placate its Af¬
rican citizenry, the government
said, that employers are being in¬
structed to see that passes for
their workers are in order, and
that for those without such passes
immediate arrangements be made
to obtain temporary documents for
them. •
Yet, another source of trouble
for the government is coming from
the business and industrial lead¬
ers. Noting that they have under¬
gone severe economic recessions
because of the racial crisis, they
appealed to Prime Minister Hen¬
drix F. Verworn! for a confer¬
ence to discuss the situation.
Among the items on the agenda
is a demand that the government
do n turnabout on its apartheid
policy, which brought about the
enormously costly emergency. Not
