Indicative of the infiltration of Negro women of intelligence and ability into American business life is the variety of vocations repre¬ sented in the sorority: college presidents, teachers, insurance company executives, governmental employes of high responsibility, personnel supervisors, scientific ! and technical specialists, authors | and editors, manufacturers, finan- j ciers, importers, wholesalers, med-i ical supervisors, armed forces com- j missioned personnel.

Broughton Street South African Whites Want (Continued from Piwrr One! both outside of Capo Town, and Claremont, near Durban. The po¬ lice used jamboks .— whips made from strips of rubber to merci¬ lessly beat Africans into submis¬ 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 Oliver Tambo, secretary-general, African National congress and Ronald Segal, editor of the liberal party magazine, "Africa South.” schools in many fating the law of the NOTICE !

C., or Call Mrs. Janie Brown AD 3-0445 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.
