(N.Z.P A.-Reuter —Copyright) ( DURBAN, March 6. The South African ] Prime Minister, Dr. , Hendrik Verwoerd, has i accused the United ’ States Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Mr G. Mennen Williams, of irresponsible statements and called for his removal. I Addressing an election ! meeting in Durban, Dr. Verwoerd said it was high time 1 Mr Williams was relieved of . his post which “he apparently I
does not deserve to hold.” The Prime Minister was referring to evidence given by Mr Williams last Tuesday before the United States House of Representatives Subcommittee on Africa, and his television comments the next night. If Mr Williams's statements about intention to bring the South African Government to its knees represented official United States policy, this would not only be interference in the domestic affairs of another State, but also a declaration of war, Dr. Verwoerd said. In Washington, State Department officials said tonight Mr Williams had not made any remark about bringing South Africa to its knees.
