SOUTH AFRICAN
BAN OF CLERIC HIT
By HUMPHREY TYLER
' In The Christian Science
Monitor
CAPE TOWN — The South
African Government has
opened itself to a barrage of
criticism by imposing a banning
order on one of the country’s
most distinguished clerics, Dr.
Nanas Buthelezi, the country’s
only black doctor of theology.
Dr. Buthelezi is the first
cousin of well-known Gatsha
Buthelezi, chief minister of
South Africa’a Zulu nation.
THA BANNING procedure,
itself, which is being pubjicized
around the world because of this
affair, officially silences a
citizen, cuts him off from
normal social life, and
frequently makes it impossible
for him to earn a living in his
profession.
The order imposed on Dr.
Buthelezi is not as stringent as
many others, but he is
prohibited from attending
social, political, or educational
gatherings for five years, and
from teaching students. No
newspaper may publish what he
says — or anything he has ever
said in his life at all, even before
he was banned.
ALL THESE restrictions
were imposed out of the blue by'
the South African Minister of
Justice, and there is no appeal.
Both pf South Africa’s two
opposition parties have gone on
record in Parliament as bitterly
opposed to the whole banning
system. The Buthelezi banning,
may erode further support for
the National Party, which has
ruled South Africa for 25 years.
DR. BUTHELEZI is the 70th
person to be banned and
silenced this year. Many of the
others have been students, both
black and white.
Throughout all this, the
government has remained
silent and so have most of its
newspapers.

House
Extends
Funding
WASHINGTON - The House
Banking and Currency Com
mittee Last Friday approved a
six-month extension of funding
for the Small Business
Administration while Congress
continues its probe of illegal
SBA activities.
The committee added a tough
amendment aimed at curtailing
White House influence on SBA
lending.
THE COMMITTEE approved
15-3 an amendment by
Rep. James M. Hanley, D-N.Y,,
to subject any person exerting
improper political pressure on
the SBA to a fine of $10,000 and
one year in jail. In addition, t|ie
Hanley amendment would
nullify any SBA financial
transaction where improper
influence were proven.
Hanley said some “rather
sordid information” has been
made available at public
hearing on the SBA indicating
that improper White House
influence contributed to a
number of questionable loans in
the past. He told the committee
members the federal govern
ment “has lost millions and
millions of dollars (hrough the
outside influence of the
executive branch.”
THE COMMITTEE voted 30-2
lo raise the SBA’s loan ceiling
by $575 million through June 30,
1974, while the House Small
Business Subcommittee con
tinues its investigation of the
SBA.
The legislation must be ap
proved by both House and
Senate before the Christmas
recess or th^ SBA will run out of
money for some programs.

WINTKR: (OLD, WINDY,
FROST BITIN(; WINTER! To
many Black Americans—
especially those whd live in
substandard, dilapidated
housing - (he annual choice
between numbing, spirit-
sapping cold and ihe threat of
fire due (o.improper heating
equipmenl looms again.
Don't lei the “Almighty
Hawk...Mister Wind" catch you
unprepared, says the Insurance
Information Institute. Cold is
probably the indirect cause of
more fires - many of them fatal
-- than any other factor,
I.,\ST > KAK FIRK destroyed
more than S2..3 billion in ;
properly and killed 11,900
people -- the greatest number of
fatalities being persons 65 or
older and infanls five years of
age and younger.
And there is little question
iha! the threat of fire is
especially acute for many
minority residents who hang
iheir hats in the countless
tenements of the Harlem.
Hough and Waits sections
across the country.
ABOUT ONE out of every
six fires are caused by faulty
healing or cooking equipment,
the problem becoming par
ticularly serious during the
colder part of the year, the
Institute points out.
To prevent fires, homeowners
should check the entire house,
including attic and closets, for
unneeded piles of old newspap
ers and magazines, discarded
clothing, broken furniture or
other tombustibles such as old
paint cans and brushes. Throw
them out! These are the kinds of
things on which fires breed and
feed.
•Apartment dwellers should
ask the superintendent to check
the cellar (or do it yourself) for
combustible refuse, such as
unclaimed furniture or piles of
papers. If you can’t get action
any other way, contact the
Sanitation Department. Your
safely is at stake.
Check all electrical ap
pliances. outlets and wires and
heating and cooking equipmenl
to see that they are in good
condition.
HOMKOWNFHS should have
their heating plants inspected
by a qualified person at least
once a year. A good idea would
be a before and after winter
heating system examination.
And if ihe colder weather
drives you into the kitchen area
with Ihe stove on for heal, leave
a window slightly open. An
improperly burning stove -•
leaking gas into a closed area -
can result in fire, explosion or
cause death by suffocation,
warns ihe Institute.

UNCF 1974 Drive
NEW YORK. N.Y.-Thomas
A. Murphy of the General
Motors Corp., A. Dean Swift of
Sears, Roebuck and Co., and
Dr. Buell G. Gallagher, former
president of the City College of
New York, were named today to
top leadership positions in the
United Negro College Fund’s
1974 drive.
Mr. Murphy, Vice Chairman
of the Board of GM, will be the
UNCF National Campaign
Chairman. He succeeds Cyrus
R. Vance, who has been
nominated to a seat on the
Fund’s board of directors.
MR. SWIFT, president of
Sears, will take over as
Chairman of the National
Corporations Committee. Mr.
Murphy held that post in 1973.
Dr. Gallagher, who was also
president of one of the UNCF
institutions, Talladega College
m Alabama from 1933 to 1943,
will serve as Chairman of the
Foundations Fund-Raising
Committee for the fourth
straight year.
ANNOUNCEMENT of the
appointments was made today
by Morris B. Abram, UNCF
Chairman of the Board, and Dr.
Herman H. Long, President of
tlie Fund. Mr. Abram, who
practices law in New York, is
the former president of
Brandeis University. Dr. Long
is the current president of ■
Talladega College.
The UNCF raises operating
revenues for its 41 private,
predominantly black member
colleges. Thirty-nine of them
are four-year, fully accredited
institutions. Atlanta U. and the
Interdenominational Theolo
gical Center are graduate
schools.
A GOAL FOR the 1974
campaign has not yet been set.
In 1972, the UNCF raised $11.1-
million, which included one
time legacies totalling $687,000.
The 1973 drive is not yet com
plete. Since its founding in 1944,
the UNCF has raised some $130-
million to support its member
colleges.
“Two-thirds, of the students
who attend these schools come
from families earning $5,000 or
less a year,” Mr. Murphy said.
“The need to support these
colleges, to keep them in'
existence, and to help them
flourish, so that these young
blacks will not miss a college
education, is imperative.” •
