APARTHEID PROTEST
Trade Union Ban Wanted (N Z P-A.-Reuter —Copyright) LONDON, June 16. Lord Bertrand Russell called on the world’s trade unionists to refuse to handle goods intended for South Africa at an “antiapartheid” rally in Trafalgar Square on Sunday. A crowd of about 3000 attended the rally, in protest against life sentences passed in the South African sabotage trial. Lord Russell said if trade unionists refused to load goods intended for South Africa and refused to unload goods at any South African port, the South African “tyranny” would end. In Johannesburg, saboteurs last night blew up the front of a suburban post office. It was the first demonstration of violence since the sentencing of the accused in the trial.
