Carmona, Angola - tm
This town still lives on its
nerves. It is the front line in
Portugal's fight, to stay put in
Angola.
When anti-Portuguese na
tives rose in bloody revolt
two years ago (2,000 Euro
peans were hacked to death),
Carmona was at the heart of
the military crisis.
Today, it literally is the
nerve center-the number of
chain smokers appears abnor
mally high-of what Governor
Rebocho Var calls "the battle
of the peace."
With a population of about
2.000 whites surrounded by
40,000 blacks, Carmona is the
capital of the rich coffee
grdwing district of Uige in
North Angola that stretches
up to the hostile ex-Belgian
Congo frontier.
Revolt Controlled
The revolt has been
brought under control by
Portuguese troops and a tough
corps of local volunteers. Re-

- arriving these days in South
Africa.
But if present trends con
tinue, Europe may once
again take its place as the
main source of immigration
fto this white bastion,
j Figures disclosed in the
Senate by Immigration Min
ister A. E. Trollip show a
:number of trends.
Of the 21,000 new settlers
'who arrived in 1962, 51.5
per cent came from Africa
and 4S.5 per cent from else
where. In 1961, when 16,

jt Considering that this swing
,; took place at a time of in
creasing tension throughout
' the continent, it marked an
j achievement for the republic,
i and for Trollip, who has been
campaigning vigorously in
Europe to put South Africa
back on the map as an ideal
home for the potential im
migrant. ;
- Oddly enough. South Afri
ca's chief source of new blood
is not Britain, Holland, Ger
many or France, the four
main fountain-heads of the
white race in the republic.
It is the Rhodesian Federa
tion, now crumbling under
3 the Impact ot nationalism.
f Last year the federation sent
; 7,257 persons to the republic,
most of them South Africans
who left their country in the
vears after World War II.
At that time, Rhodesia was
. booming and South Airica
! under its new nationalist gov-
; ernment, was feeling the first
impact of chilly worm ais
approval. Today, the frying pan of
South Africa apparently is a
more attractive proposition to
many than the fire of Afri
can nationalism north of the
Limpopo river.
Britain is second on the
list with 4,968 settlers. The
icy miseries of the past Eng
lish winter, unemployment
and common market problems
are likely to inflate this fig
ure in 1963.
Third comes Kenya, with
1,707 immigrants. Some are
South Africans who settled in
the East African colony in
more tranquil days. Others
are British settlers who, lured
by the promise of spacious llv
infl. moved to Kenya after
1946. Almost without excep-
linn thev are Dohtically rigm-
wing, strongly opposed to Af

Many, stung by Britain's
retreat from colonial Africa,

Rritish
Fourth on the imigration
list is Germany with 1.314
settlers. The Rhodesian Fed
eration, Britain, Kenya and
Germany together accounted
for three quarters oi an im
migrant in 1962.

areas.
Governor General of Angola
General Silvino Silverio Mar
ques and Rebocho Vaz have
just completed a week's tour
of the Uige area passing only
lightly protected through
areas that were once hotbeds
of revolt.
Vaz said that 80 per cent of
the Uige area is now freed
from terrorism. The white
population had returned to
the farms in most areas, he
said, and the natives seemed
anxious to work and cooper
ate with the Portuguese.
"After months in the bush
with poor food, inadequate
clothing and improper medi
cal care they do not want the
terrorists to return," he said.
"I am convinced that terror
ism will not recur unless it is
instigated from outside."

Vaz did not, however, hide
the importance of securing
the peace. He said that the
future of Angola was "in
play" in the north and out

dous expansion of the area

tals, schools and permament
homes.
"Given four or five years,
we will bring about an evolu
tion as never seen in Africa,"
Vaz said.
But the problem is money.
As one official here said:
"Courage is high, but cash is
low." Huge military expenses
are one of the reasons. And
the outbreak of terrorism also
delayed expansion.
Repulse Assault
When the terrorism struck,
Carmona was guarded by only
22 troops, 18 of them colored.
Eight times between March
and May, 1961, assaults were
made on the town but re
pulsed by the hastily assem
bled civilian defense corps
using hunting rifles and an
tiquated pistols.
Finally, troops arrived from
Portugal and tension slack
ened. But the scars of race
relations were slow to heal.
Black and white look at one
another more carefully here
than in South Angola.
There, the Portuguese have
mingled for hundreds of years
with the native population.
Multi-racialism is the answer
the Portuguese come up with
when they are attacked in
the United Nations for refus-
ing to grant independence to
their African territoriea-An-
gola, Mozambique and Guinea
-or accused ot "oppressing1
the Afrlcan'people.
The Portuguese say not
only that races can live to-
Benguela, a town of 15.000
(about one-third Europeans)
on the Atlantic coast of south
west Africa midway between
Angola's northern and south
ern borders, is the type of
town the Portuguese like to
think of as proving their Doint
that black skins and white
skins do not necessarily add
to mutual hatred.
Whites Double
The outbreak of violence In
northern Angola spurred no
reaction In Benguela. Terror
ism was confined to the far
north. The white population
has more than doubled in re
cent years and Benguela, once
known as the "city of half
castes," today prefers to think
of Itself as a thoroughly in
tegrated town, a pace-setter in
Portugal's multi-racial policy.
A drive through the citv
illustrated the point that the
city had an A-plus integration
rating. Black children ran
out of one house, whites from
another and half castes from
a third. Black women and
white women queued along
side one another in the shops.

Elsewhere in south west
Africa, in Angola's capital of
Luanda, whites, blacks and
half castes mingled freely.
When this cautious correspon
dent asked on arrival there if
it was safe to walk out alone
at night he was told he could
do so freely "and you will be
safer than in New York."
A city ot 350.000 inhabit
ants, of whom about one
quarter are of European ori
gin, Luanda has an ' air cf
Portuguese permanence. If it
could be picked up and set
down in Portugal itself or in
Brazil, it would fit neatly into
the background
The city, naturally, has its
African characteristics. The
color of the people in the
streets runs through every
shade from pitch black to
pure white. In the main bars
the crowds are, perhaps, pre
dominantly white, but colored
men can be seen seated and
being served by white wait
ers. There are no "whites
only" signs.
Many people, including
Governor Vaz, believe the fu
ture of Angola will be decid
ed if Portugal can d u s h

program. It Is hoped the na
tives will see this as their
best chance of prosperity.
