Presbyterian Launch Plan For
Abolishment of Apartheid in Africa
NEW YORK—A policy statement
Oiat calls for new steps toward
eliminating apartheid in South
Africa has been adopted by the
highest governing body of The !
United Presbyterian Church, USA. '
It urgrs the South African gov
ernment to consider a national con |
vention proposed by a United Na-1
tions committee; asKs the United,
States government, American busi-1
ness, and churches to use their in- '
fluence in ending apartheid; and j
sets up programs within the Unit- :
ed Prrsbyterian Church through'
which the apartheid policy can be
attacked.
The statement was approved by
the 177 th General Assembly of the
3.3 million member Presbyterian
denomination, meeting in Colum
bus, Ohio recently.
It was drafted by the United
Presbyterian Commission on Re
ljgion and Race (CORAR), pre
sented to the General Assembly's
Standing Committee on Church
and Society, and ultimately pass
ed by the 835 commissioner's ti
the assembly.
Noting that South Africa "is the
only country dedicated to an of
ficlal governmental policy of ra
cial separation, known as Apar
theld," the statement charges that
South Africa's government "con
tinues to pursue this policy acainsl
the will of the majority of the
South African people." Apartheid '
is branded as theologically and
m-dtally indefensible," a policy
that "consigns millions of Africans
to perpctutal inferiority, depriv
ing thein of tti»» most elementary
political, civic and human rights
in 37 per cent of their homelands."
In its major points the pro
nouncement:
"Urgently appeals to the church
es .in South Africa to seek new
and more effective ways of urg
ing the South African government
to abandon its dangerous policy
and to consider the plan recom
ni'nded by promnient
can Christians, and the Expert
Gommittee established by the Se- j
curity. CotniQjl ojf fry ted Nai ,

"Our job," he said, "is to get

is that we have a long way to go.
That's the real problem."
In Canton, Thomas says, the
United Fund and private agencle#
are pumping dollars into basic
education for illiterate adults and
backing the League's secretarial
training project.
Also, four biignted neighbor
hoods are getting a boost from
Operation Candlelight, a self-help
program. "A neighborhood of 100
homos is given Intensive v/oi'i,"
he says. "Housing inspectors do
something about cod enforcement.
Each family is interviewed by soc
ial workers and their problems re
ferred to the proper agencies."
Overall, says Thomas, "the mood
this summer is better than last.
Higher employment is a big fac
tor. I don't expect any trouble,
but what happens in Cleveland or
Hall declares, "The NAACP, CORE
Chlcifo could spill over into eta
ton as long as we we have poverty
and segregation."
The consensus of the League's
directors is that Ohio's cities this
summer likely may not be torn by I
racial strife unless the unforseen
happens. Negroes welcome the
overtures of churches and con
cerned whites; they've been made
hopeful by gains in employment.
But the picture in education is
spotty, with some very felt bias,
particularly in Cincinnati, and
there is considerable worry over
possible police brutality. In hous
ing, there haj been no visabi#
improvement anywhere, a cause
of deep resentment.
League directors nave gotten, or
are seeking, Federal aid in Akron,
Canton, Cleveland, Dayton Spring
field and in Warren to help wipe
out poverty.
But Federal grants, they say,
cannot open doors in all-white
suburbs lor hardworking people
living in slums who want to move
out. Nor can they change the
hearts of efficials, biiwd
guidance counselors, or trad#
union officials.
For felief of these ills, rights
leaders may ppMest by direct act
ion. If they are unsuccessful, the
chances of a "long, hot summer"
could increase. That's why Urban
League directors are pressing for
closer cooperation with whites
and reminding Ohioans of the
words of Cleveland's Ernest Coop
er, "We've Rot a breathing spelL
All we've done is to buy a little
time."
