JOHANNESBURG, South Africa ~ At least 31
persons have been killed and an estimated 300
wounded during the last two weeks in three black
townships affected by the worst rioting in eight
years.
A bomb exploded at a Johannesburg courthouse
and an explosion shattered an electrical substation,
leaving eight towns without power. Government officials
said 147,000 black students stayed away from
classes to honor boycotts or because of the unrest.
Scattered arson and looting also were reported.
The /^iolencfe^apparently was sparked by
government-imposed rent hikes, but followed eight
months of sporadic student boycotts protesting inferior
education for blacks. The rent increase
amounts to about $3.10 for a four-room, cinder >
block house which had rented for about $18.60 per
month. The average black laborer earns about $12
per day.
Mississippi Klan, Nazi:
JACKSON, Miss. -- A voter registration drive
supported by the Ku Klux Klan, the White Citizens
Council, the American Nazi Party and other extremist
white groups has registered at least 10,000
white people since March, according to the Jackson
Advocate, a black, weekly newspaper.
The newspaper linked the registration drive to the
Mississippi Republican Party. It quoted Richard
Barrett, a Jackson attorney and a 1980 leader of
Democrats for Reagan, as saying, "Registration of
white voters and getting them out to vote is a priority
for us ... While in the short run this will help
Ronald Reagan defeat the left-wing Democrats, we
really have something much more important in
mind for the long run -- the building of a white
American nationalist movement."

orst riots since Soweto
The affected townships -- Sharpeville, Sebokeng
and Evaton - are about 45 miles south of Johannesburg.
Violence in the three townships was
reported to be the worst since rioting in the Soweto .
township spread across the country in 1976, causing
several hundred deaths.
One of the bombs exploded outside the provincial
Rand Supreme Court building, where many of the
treason trials are held for defendants charged with
trying to overthrow white minority-rule. A I
policeman rushed the bomh outside to the mnr.

declined to discuss their voter registration efforts,
the newspaper said.
Robert Walker, field director for the Mississippi
NAACP, said he had "no doubt that the Klan and
kindred groups are behind the registration of people
who can be misled and I am not surDrised thev are
doing it. The NAACP has singled out the defeat of
Reaganism, regardless of whicli party it shows up
in, as the key battle for 1984."
State Rep. Credell Calhoun, director of voter
registration for the Mississippi Democratic Party,
said the Republicans were "not going to repudiate
the Klan or groups like it because the Republican
Party here in Mississippi has become a far-rightwing
outfit ... The Democratic leadership may be
conservative, but they (the Republicans) are the
radical right wing."
