in anuin Ainca. wnere racial . . , ,-
mixtions are broadly similar to . Washington. V I
I lose here, the Dutch Reformed i
lunch continues its position in j
.iivor of complete segregation.
The Dutch Reformed church is
f lr the largest and most in
..:irntial in South Africa. It rep-
r sents the Afrikaans - speakinq
i .ile population, 57 per cent ol
yle Christians. i
What is the thinking behind;
t ie Dutch Reformer! position in
fciuth Africa' A visiting South'
j.liuan minister, Dominie Jo
hannes Reyncke of the (iroote;
Kerk (Great Church) of Pretor-j
i . gave some answers this week-.
Doctor of Divinity Degree !
Ife.vneke came to this country (
'unollirially to recede a doctor
Of divinity degree at I'nion Col !
'lfe, Schenectady, N. Y , and was
here as a guest preacher at the
lipiscopal Cathedral.
"In the first place,'1 he said in .
in interview discussing sfime ot
the points brought out in his ser
mon, "it definitely is not the in
itenl of our church to oppress or
suppress the African. Our lead
ers have said more than once we
Should make friends rather than
fiotential enemies. Our whole pol
cy is directed toward better race
relations."
As background for his church's
policy, Reyneke explained that
the black Africati population is
divided into nine language
groups, each virtually a nation,
wilh its own way of life. Only
about one fourth of these Afri
cans live in or around cities
"Our belief." he said, "is that
national churches function more
efficiently than interracial com
munions. "We feel that Christianity
should not denationalize a people
hut thai the nationalism of that
people should be Christianized.
We feel that they should worship
in the language of the people.
They should have their own lead
ership and not be spoon fed by a
mother church.
Inferior Position
"And so our aim is to make the
African churches self supporting,
self propagating and independent
of the white churches. If the Af-i
r ran churches were integrated
into white churches, Africans
would always occupy an inferior
position of leadership, as things
now stand."
The Dutch Reformed church,
Reynekek said, has always car
ried on a strong missionary pro
gram among the blacks. It now
operates six schools and colleges
for the training of black mission
aries, as well as hundreds of pri
mary and secondary schools for
general education. It maintains;
15 hospitals and several mission
ary printing plants.
The black African churches
were started as missions. The
central church still subsidizes
them. Reyneke said, but is be-j
ginning to relax its control. At
the same time it is doing whatit'
can to wipe out any situation
that might suggest blacks do not
make just as good Christian's as
whites.
No Race Equality
The synod of Transvaal, for ex
ample, still has a provision in its
constitution, a hangover from
the days when Transvaal was a
separate state, which says there
shall be no racial equality. Rey
neke said a motion probably will
come before the next synod meet
ing to repeal this clause, which
o'.her snods never did have.
The other side of the religious
racial coin in South Africa is that
unites as a national group want
t ieir own churches, just as Roy-1
neke says they feel the blacks !
should have their national chur-'
ches.
It seems to me," he said,
not so much a case of racial an
imosity as a case of the whites
trying to segregate themselves
from the millions of non-whites
so that they can remain as a
white community "
Reyneke was asked what would
happen if a black African pre
sented himself at his church in
Pretoria in the heart of South
Africa's racial strife.
No Politics
"The tradition of our church
would he against it." he replied,1
hut he would not be turned
awav if he came there to wor-j
ship. If he came as a political
gesture, that would be something'
else"
lie said there were a number
of mixed churches in South Af
rica and that there were two
black members in tjie Capetown
synod, which totals 300 clergy
men and 300 laymen.
Reyneke acknowledged that the
racial question was a tense one in i
all aspects of South African life
hut said "I feel that we are in a
period of transition and that
things will settle down." -
Michael Ann Ryan, 14, were killed
the morning of June 15, 1055, as
they walked through the suburban
park to get Nancy's report card at
Northwestern High School.
"We are only checking out one
or two inconsistencies before
charging the boy," Smith said.
He did not name the youth, who
first told his story to Claude F.
Libis. a supervisor at the training
school. Smith quoted the "youth as
saying he did not know the girls.
Smith's announcement came 24
hours after Prince Georges County
detectives, later joined by psychi
atrists and State Police, began
questioning the slight, close
cropped blond youth.
Smith said a 12-page statement
received from the boy "indicates
he committed the crime." Smith,
said the youth gave police a reason
for the killings, but the reported
motive was not made public. !
"If you put the whole statement,
together." Smith said, "you can
put together some reason. But I
certainly am not going to delve i
into what his motive was. It ii
beyond me at this time." i
Smith said the youth told police
he threw the murder -veapon into
the Anacostia River. Navy divers
searched (utile ly for the rifle.

Police Arrest 40 After Algeria Vengeance Raids
ALGIERS, Algeria Police,
arrested 40 suspects Thursday in
a wide ranging manhunt for reb
els who killed 4 European civil-j
ians , here Wednesday and who
threatened new vengeance raids
on cities.
Rebel tracts found by police
and soldiers said the attack in
crowded downtown Algiers was
reprisal for the beheading of two
convicted rebels on the French
guillotine Tuesday. Fifteen other
i European were wounded as the
rebel commandos sprayed the
streets with pistols.
The tracts vowed that French'
prisoners of the rebels will now
be shot.
"The national army of libera
tion has decided to change itsj
tactics." the rebel proclamations;
said. "It is going to carry the war;
into the cities. i
"If any more of our people are
executed the French will pay very
dearly. Our soldiers who fight for
the liberation in the mountains
will be without pity for the French
soldiers.
"Already we have announced
that we will take no more pris
oners. As for the soldiers in our
hands, who have been well treat
ed, we are going to shoot them.
"Mohammed Zaharra and Abdel
Kader Ferradi, the French execu
tioner have assassinated you. To
day you are avenged."
The two men were the first reb
el prisoners to be executed by the
French. About 100 others have
been sentenced to death. But for
fear of alienating Algerian arm pa
thies, the French have delayed
those executions.
