Europeans Buying Guns for Defense
Johannesburg - (UPD - Eu
ropeans today were reported
buying up guns for defense
against possible new violence
"when Africans stage a 24-hour
work stoppage Monday to pro
test the mass shooting at near
by Sharpeville.
Chief Albert Luthuli, head
of the banned African Nation
al Congress, called the work
stoppage but emphasized it
would not be directed against
commerce or industry. Under
a 1953 law, Africans are for
bidden to strike.
"I call for every African
man, woman and child, and
upon all other sections of the
people to observe Monday as
a day of mourning ... by
staying home and not work
ing,"he said.
80 Africans iKlled
More than 80 Africans were
killed at Sharpeville and at
Langa, near Capetown, last
Monday and Tuesday. They
had marched on police sta
tions in crowds of thousands
and invited arrest by attempt
ing to turn in their identity
books, which all non-whites
must carry.
In Vanderbijl Park, near
Sharpeville, a local magis
trate reported that Europeans
were applying for firearms
permits in increasing num
bers. Dealers said they were
almost sold out, and were
sending to Johannesburg for
new supplies.
Formalities were simplified
so that Europeans had only to
swear that the weapons were
to be used for self-defense.
Armored cars patroled the
streets in four native loca
tions, but there were no in
cidents. Luthuli said that the fact
that no policemen were in
jured in the incidents showed
the government deliberately
chose to ignore riot control
methods "which are used in
all civilized countries."
Tried Tear Gas
A South African govern
ment statement said that tear
gas was tried on the crowd at
Sharpeville but failed to dis
perse it. The statement -said
police could not risk a baton
charge because they number
ed 150 and estimated the
crowd at 20,000.
Minister of External Af
fairs Eric H. Louw Wednes
day told American Ambassa
dor Philip Crowe that his gov
ernment was concerned over
the United States action de
ploring the shootings "with
out first acquainting itself
with the full facts."
In the United Nations, the
nine African members con
demned the incident as an "in
human massacre" and called
a meeting of the 29-member
Afro-Asian group today to dis
cuss further action.

Below Normal Temperatures Seen
Suitland, Md.-(Science Ser
vice) - Temperatures for the
next 30 days will average be
low seasonal normals over
most of the nation, the Weath
er Bureau here reports.
Exceptions will be the nor
thern tier, the West Coast
states and the extreme South
east, where near-normal tem
peratures are expected.
Greatest departures are pre
dicted for the Central and
Southern Plains and the Ohio
Valley. A reaction to spring
like weather, however, is ex
pected during the first half of
April, especially over much
of the East.

PLASTIC BRAIN A giant brain, construct
ed of plastic and showing effects of lesser
known tranquillizing drugs and barbiturates,
was displayed for doctors at the opening of
the American Academy of General Practice
annual meeting at Philadelphia, Pa. The
brain, capable of more than 60 changes,
goes through its routine-thanks to another
"brain" an electronic computer, which op
erates it. (UPI Telephoto)
Tranquilizers
Destroy Tumors
New York (Science Serv
ice) Some tranquilizers have
been found to increase the
blood's natural ability to de
stroy animal tumors in test
tube experiments. Dr. Paul
Fluss of the Institute of Ap
plied Biology told the Ameri
can Chemical Society here
that animal blood serum
treated with the tranquilizers
Compazine and Frenquel
halted the growth of ascites
(liquid) tumors that had been
removed from test animals.
When the treated ascites
cells were transplanted into
test mice, the mice "seemed
to have lost their ability to
produce tumors," he said. Un
treated cells, on the other
hand, induced cancer in the
animals..
Certain other chemicals, in
cluding sugars and urea, seem
to decrease the serum's can
cer - destroying ability, Dr.
Fluss said.
Although tests are now in
progress with mice, he said,
none of these effects have
been investigated in the
clinic.
Device Protects
Pedestrians
Washington - (Science Serv-ice)-Cars
have had protective
bumpers for a good many
years. But, while they do a
pretty good job of keeping
the chassis from being too
damaged, they are pretty hard
on human beings.
With this in mind, David
Gutman of Philadelphia has
invented an automobile bump
er that will alleviate injuries
to pedestrians when hit by a
tar.
His device consists of three
main parts-a holder, a cush
ioner and an ankle protector.
In operation it is designed to
reduce the force of a blow, to
prevent injurj to the fest or
legs by the ec ;e of the steel
bumper, and t catch the pe
destrian so thi.t he will not
fall backward on the street.
If a person Is hit by the
front of a car equipped with
the device, his body triggers
the release of the telescoping,
' springed extensions of the
holding device. These come to
gether behind the person's
thighs so that he is held be
tween the holding device and
the cushioning device on the
car's hood.
High School P.E.
Study Requested
Salem - H'PD - The state
board of education asked the
Oregon State Medical Society
Wednesday to take a long look
at the physical education pro
gram in Oregon high schools.
The board has received com
plaints from a number of the
society's health committees
about laxity in the physical
education program. The board
Avas , informed of a trend in
many schools for juniors and
seniors to be excused from
the P.E. program in favor of
academic courses.
