19 blacks killed as South African unrest continues
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) — Police
killed seven blacks in the remote tribal homeland of
Lebowa north of Johannesburg, and nine blacks died
elsewhere in tribal faction fights, authorities said
Monday.
In the eastern Cape Province, at least three more
blacks were killed in the daily anti-apartheid rioting
that has left more than 1,200 dead in the past 18
months.
Meanwhile, thousands of miners at two major gold
mines staged strikes and go-slow actions in new labor
flare-ups.
In Cape Town, a delegation from CBS News met
government officials to appeal a decision to expel three
CBS staff members because the network aired footage of
a funeral from which cameras were banned. No deci

sion emerged, and the two sides will meet again
Tuesday.
An introduction to the funeral footage when it was
broadcast in the United States said it was filmed by an
amateur and obtained outside South Africa.
Violence broke out Saturday in two districts of the
Lebowa homeland for the North Sotho tribe, police and
residents said.
In one clash, busloads of youths from surrounding
townships tried to get past a police cordon to attend a
funeral in Motetema outside Groblersdal, about 125
miles northeast of Johannesburg, said resident Lazarus
Palo. Running battles followed in which police shot
dead six youths and wounded five.
Brigadier W.G. Beetge. Lebowa homeland police
commissioner, said the six died a^.-cking a police sta
tion with fire bombs. He said another youth was shot
dead in Mahweiering township near Potgietersrus
when rioters attacked police.
Ueetge issued a statement Monday evening saying
alt seven deaths occurred Saturday.
An erroneous account earlier that the incidents
took place Sunday was blamed on confused accounts
by residents.
Beetge said more than 50 people wore detained
during the unrest, and many now were free.
The 10 tribal homelands, with varying degrees of
autonomy, increasingly have been caught up in unrest
that has swept South Africa Details on incidents in the
homelands are often difficult to obtain.

Winds delay search for remains

CAPE CANAVERAL. FU (AP) —
Pathologists on Monday examined remains
of Challenger's crew, sources reported,
while high winds and seas hampered the
ocean search for more body parts and debris
such as data tapes that might provide clues
to the disaster.
Some remains and crew cabin wreckage
were brought ashore secretly Saturday night
by the Navy salvage ship USS Preserver,
which entered port without running lights,
said the sources, who spoke on condition of
anonymity.
In announcing Sunday that the cabin
debris and remains had been found on the
ocean floor, NASA did not say whether

SALEM JAP) — Rep Jim
Weaver’s proposal to buy about
5,000 acres of land at Rancho
Rajnaesh for use as a recreation
area drew mixed reviews Mon
day at a hearing conducted by
the Oregon Democrat.
Weaver has introduced a
measure in Congress calling for
- the BUM to purchase from the
Rafneeshees about 5,000 acres
along the John Day River for use
as a hunting, fishing and recrea
tion area.
The land is part of the
64,000-acre ranch that's being
abandoned by followers of In
dian guru Bhagwan Shree Ra
jneesh. The guru left the coun
try last fall under threat of im
prisonment for immigration
fraud.
