Blacks Don Masks
In Demonstrations
Against Passes
JOHANNESBURG, South Af
rica, Iff) — Several thousand Ne
groes demonstrating against South
Africa’s white supremacy laws,
massed outside Cape Town Sat
urday and marched on the city.
Police met them and ordered
them to turn back. The armed
forces then tightened cordons
around Nyanga and Langa Negro
settlements outside Cape Town,
South Africa’s legislative capitol
and second largest city. The mar
chers came from Nyanga.
It was reported the marchers
had slipped out of the guarded
settlement on the pretext of re
turning to work.
The Negroes have virtually par
alyzed Cape Town with a stay
home work stoppage in support
of their campaign against the
passes all nonwhites are required
to carry.
Police were intent on heading
off another march into Cape
Town like that by 30,000 Negroes
last Wednesday. A similar march
on Durban Friday resulted in a
clash with police. Four Negroes
were killed and 18 wounded.
The big^Nyanga and Langa Ne
gro settlements near Cape Town
have been cordoned off by thous
ands of soldiers, sailors and police.
Each district houses about 20,000
Negroes.
The South African Press Assn,
reported arsonists early Saturday
.burned down a primary school for
white children near Cape Town.
Trouble was reported elsewhere
in South Africa. Bands of masked
Negroes roamed through Negro
settlements near Port Elizabeth
during the night calling on resi
dents to destroy their pass books.
It was the first report of masks
worn by militant Negro agitators.
White police have been trying to
round up the ringleaders in the
move to keep African masses
away from work, especially in
the Cape peninsula where com
merce and industry demain
crippled after two weeks of strife.
NOW HEAR THIS . . .
LONDON, (fP» — Sixty angry
Londoners, robbed of sleep by
noisy jetliners zooming over their
homes near London Airport, pro
tested by waking up Aviation
minister Duncan Sandys before
dawn Saturday.
Clad in his pajalnas and dress
ing gown, "the unshaven, tousle
haired Sandys stood at his front
door for nearly a half hour, sleep
ily listening to complaints by the
crowd. He finally got back to bed
by promising to seek ways to
lower the roar of the jets.

THE FAMILY STORE
The Saga of Gus, Mr. and Mrs. Schultz,
And I Swan, The Young Widow Maggie
By DIAL TORGERSON
GLENDALE, Calif., UP) — Every
day for two years a bachelor
named Schultz got chased out of
the duck pond by a jealous hus
band named Gus.
Duck pond?
Right! Schultz, Gus and Mrs.
Gus are swans — a fiercely mono
gamous species. They lived as an
uneasy threesome in the duck
pond at Forest Lawn Memorial
'Park — Gus in fear of his wife,
Schultz in fear of his life.
Then someone found out that
50 miles away, at Lake Malibu,
lived an eligible young widow
swan named Maggie.
Two years ago Maggie’s mate
died. She tried to console herself
by offering a cumbersome moth
ering to Lake Malibu ducklings.
The mother ducks didn’t like it.
Maggie was frankly disappointed
by the looks of -her foster chil
dren.
/So eight men spent a hectic
morning capturing Schultz. He
General Hines Dies at 81;
Was Former V-A Chief
WASHINGTON, UP) — Brig.
Gen. Frank T. HineS, retired, who
headed the government’s veterans’
affairs activities almost 22V£
years longer than any other man
— died Sunday. He would have
been 81 Monday.
A son, Frank Hines Jr., today
said his father had suffered a
stroke nearly 10 years ago but
continued some business activity
until recently.
The general suffered a fall arid
entered the Mt. Alto Veterans Ad
ministration Hospital here about
two weeks ago.
The hospital listed the cause of
death as bronchial pneumonia.
TOO MUCH FOR HIM!
BRISBANE, Australia, UP) —
Minutes after being told today he
had won the equivalent of $16,000
in a state lottery, Harold Carney,
a magistrate, dropped dead. He
was 61, and had been suffering
from heart trouble.
Two hours ‘ later Maggie was
building a nest. Schultz Swam
lazy circles nearby,- looking smug.
The mother ducks seemed much
relieved.
Back at Forest Lawn, guess
what Gus was doing. Relaxing?
No. He spent three days searching
the bushes at the edge of the duck
pond — trying to find where
Schultz was hiding,
was trucked to Lake Malibu. A
veterinarian warrifed:
“Swans are mighty particular.
Nobody can tell if they’ll like each
other. Either they’ll fight right
then and there, or they’ll be
friendly. Only thing to do is put
them together, and see what hap
pens.”
The quacking of curious ducks
attracted Maggie. She cruised se
renely to the shoreline as Schultz,
temper and feathers ruffled, was
freed.
Maggie spied Schultz and her
feathers arched. The bachelor
swan walked slowly into the
water, like .a swimmer testing it
for temperature, and then paddled
toward Maggie.
Within a few inches of each
other, both gave a high-pitched
squawk of pleasure. Then — in
a swan’s version of the classic
movie clinch — they slowly
rubbed heads and necks.

Five Million Dollar B-52
Burns At Spokane Field
SPOKANE, Iff) — Fire flared on
a giant eight-jet B-52 bomber
Friday as the pilot tested _the en
gines for takeoff on the Fairchild
Air Force Base runway just west
of here.
The eight crewmen aboard
scrambled to safety with no in
juries more serious than a broken
wrist as an engine on the left
wing flamed up. The men were
aboard for a training flight.
Within 15 minutes, however,
and despite efforts of 50 or more
Air Force firefighters and a dozen
pieces of equipment, just The cock
pit and right wing of the Stra
tegic Air Command* bomber re
mained.
The fire, fed by thousands of
gallons of jet fuel and the hot
burning magnesium skin of the
five-million-dollar bomber, dis
integrated the left wing and rear
part of the jet.
