20 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Thursday, July 30, 1958 African Servants Take Own Lodgers Illegally JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -- Removal of natives from illegal "tenements in- the sky"--rooftops | 150 » and servants quarters in "whi apartment buildings--is the latest proposal of the Nationalist gov- ernment of Prime Minister Daniel F. Malan for implementing its racial segregation policy. . The overcrowded *"tenéments" are one of the results of the en- ormous migration of rural Africans to Johannesburg during the lasy 20 years, a migration brought about by a continuing boom industry. Hostels and servants' rooms are jammed to overflowing and estab- ished African townships spill over Sontinually nip illegal and un- nic equatters' camps. Bye the country's official policy is one of segregation, it is safe to say that the number of domestic servants, their families and lodgers almost equals the whites in all areas, even in the most exclusive white suburbs. The total of illegal African "boarders" throughout the city's white areas is believed to be about Domestic servants take in "Tod- gers" who sleep on the floor and pay $2.80 a month. The racket is known to most householders, who keep quiet for fear of losing their servants. : At intervals the police raid the servants' quarters. The illegal lodgers are marched off to the police station, where they pay a fine, which mounts with each con- in | viction. Then they return to the same illegal quarters and hope for the best. .They have nowhere else to go. : Meanwhile little progress is made with grandiose plans for establishing new African suburbs separated from the white suburbs by a buffer zone. The wrangle con- tinues as to who shall pay and the minister of native affairs, Her- manus Verwoerd, has announced he plans to clear the "black spots" with or without the city's co-opera- tion. Commonwealth Sent 20,000 Men To Korea By MAX HARRELSON UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)-- UN ground forces sent to Korea, other than those of the United States and South Korea, were somewhere between 40,000 and 50,- 000 men, according to the best available informaton here. These came from 15 of 60 mem- ber countries, approximately half of them from the British Common- wealth. No exact figures were available on the size of the United States and South Korean forces except in terms of divisions. The United States contributed six infantry and one marine division --plus an undisclosed number 'of supporting troops -- and South Korea had 16 ready combat divi- sions at the time of the armistice. This information came partially from UN official reports and par- tially from figures obtained di- rectly from the participating coun- tries. In addition to the ground forces, many of the same 15 countries also contributed either air or naval assistance or both. A 16th country --South Africa--provided a fighter squadron, but no ground or naval forces. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., chief U.S. 'delegate, recently told the House of Representatives foreign affairs" committee that 10 of every 100 men in the forward zone in Korea came from UN countries "other than the United States. He did not give any figures, however. The largest fighting unit, in addi- ton to U.S. and Korean forces, was the oversized British Commonwealth division which numbered ap pr o ximately 20,000 men. Britain supplied about 10,000 of these, with the others coming from Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Next to Britain, Canada had the largest force in Korea with ap- proximately 8,000 there at all times. Australia had a total of 5,500 men in Korea, about half of them ground forces. New Zealand sup- plied a ground force of about 2,000. Other countries with ground forces: Belgium, one battalion; Colombia, one battalion; Ethiopia, 1,069 men; France, one battalion; Luxembourg, one infantry com- pany; Greece, one battalion; Neth- erlands, one battalion; Philippines, 5,000 men; Thailand, 4,000 men and Turkey, 6,086 men. Last List Of Battle Casualties - OTTAWA (CP)--What may be By BILL BOSS Canadian Press Staff Writer PANMUNJOM (CP)--Brig. Jean Allard was Canada's official ob- server as the documents were signed at 10 a.m. Monday setting an end 12 hours later to fire on both sides of Korea's 120-mile front. Within a few hours the com- mander of Canada's 25th infantry brigade had arranged to have his troops advised of their individual responsibilities under the armis- tice and submit sgned statements that each understood his orders. Complete muster parades showed that every Canadian was aware of his task and the brigade head- quarters reported that fact to the 1st Commonwealth division. On returning to his headquarters from Panmunjom and Munsan where he had also observed Gen. Mark Clark endorse the truce docu- ments as United Nations com- mander-in-chief, Brig. Allard sum- moned his unit. commanding offi- cers. He described to them the scenes he had witnessed and asked them to pass the information on to. the troops. Then the brigadier briefed his officers on things to come. Like everyone else, the Cana- dians are involved in the general backward shift which the war theatre must undergo, creating a demilitarized zone between the two still undefeated armies. Ammunition, equipment and gen- eral stores such as barbed wire, pickets, bunker timbers and sig- nals cable must first be carried away. That done, the troops will Official Truce Observer Describes Scene To Troops walk back 1,500 yards' and estab- lish themselves there. The Panmunjom pr o ceedings were in a great oriental-style hall which the Communists built in three days last week. United Nations spectators sat at the south end of the long signing table running north and south. Communist spectators sat on the north side, the Chinese in one sec- tion and the North Koreans in an- other. The Chinese were characterized by the drab anonymity of olive grey with high-necked uniforms. The more youthful-looking North Koreans had more eye appeal with their 'khaki-green 'tunics with red and gold epaulettes, and blue trousers: with twin red stripes. Pte. Stewart D. Lord of Van- couver, from the 3rd battalion, the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, represented Canada in the guard - of - honor detachment lining the UN 'delegates' path into the hall. Brig. Allard rode by jeep to Pan- munjom with the Commonwealth division commander, Maj. - Gen. MM. A. R. West and the com- mander's new aide-de-camp, Lieut. Lorne Caughill of Calgary and Niagara Falls, Ont. Lieut. Caughill watched the ceremony from out- side the hall. Brig. Allard's message to the Canadians congratulated them for "your magnificent performance in holding the line against numerous odds--for this the Canadian people are grateful and your comrades elsewhere in the Canadian Army are proud." He offered condolences to the relatives and friends of Canadians who fell in Korea and then said "we now have a new task--that of guarding the peace. For the time being we will guard it in ity to prepare ourselves for the tasks we may be called upon to do in future." TELESCOPING TIME AUCKLAND, N.Z.
