...passed since the death of Evers and still no one has been brought to trial for the crime. Beckworth is still charged with the killing, but the summer's sense of urgency has been lost, and a series of events have prevented the trial. Last month circuit Judge Lexon Hendrik of Haines County convened court for a hearing on the case. But the defendant did not appear. Apparently Sheriff Jonathan Edwards had received no notice that he was to bring the prisoner to court. On Nov. 25 Judge Hendrik called for a hearing to act a date for the trial...
...they are true. Du Plessis is one of three American representatives of the National Union of South African Students (NUSAS), one of the largest multi-racial organizations in South Africa which actively opposes the apartheid policies of the resume of Hendrik Verwoerd. About ten NUSAS members have been "detained" by the government in recent months under a law which enables police to hold citizens almost indefinitely without filing formal criminal charges. Last month the South African Security Police raided NUSAS head-quarters in Capetown, removing eight documents and recording several names. Also in recent months various government ministers have publicly...
Raid on Rivonia. Bespectacled and slightly stooped, with a black beard (when last seen), Goldreich won South Africa's 1955 Best Young Painter award for his Figures in Black and White, designed sets and costumes for King Kong, the famed South African musical.

Last month police descended on the artist's swank home in the Johannesburg suburb of Rivonia, arrested Goldreich, his wife Hazel, four other white men, and a dozen nonwhites...
Heartbreak at Home. Since 1950, when South Africa's Population Registration Act was passed to reinforce Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd's "granite" apartheid policy, faceless inquisitors have been methodically dividing the entire population into neatly labeled groups: black, white, Asian and Colored. Designed to prevent racial "contamination" of the nation's 3,000,000 whites, the law gave the government power to list names, ancestry and accepted skin color of South Africa's 16 million citizens. In the process of compiling these human pedigrees, pigmentation commissars have reclassified thousands of dark-skinned Coloreds as blacks, thus...
Only one member of the all-white Parliament voted against the bill. Amid government jeers, the lone Progressive Party representative, brunette Helen Suzman, warned that black nationalism as well as white nationalism feeds "on this type of kragdadigheid [toughness]." Although Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd and Vorster describe the menace facing South Africa as "Communism," the bill is clearly aimed at two African nationalist groups calling themselves Poqo and Spear of the Nation. Poqo (pronounced Paw-kaw and meaning "for ourselves alone" in the Xhosa tongue) patterns itself after the dreaded Mau Mau, which terrorized Kenya in the 1950s. It first...
