South African Parliament
m
To Name Malan's Successor
PRETORIA, South Africa Wl
The dominant Nationalist party
faction in South Africa's Parlia
ment assembled here today to
Dame a successor to retiring Prime
Minister Daniel Malan. It was a
near certainty they would choose
Johannes Gerhardus Strijdom, un
compromising advocate of Repub
lican status for this British Com
monwealth country.
Selection of the 61-year-old Strij
dom as the party leader necessa
ry prelude to his appointment as
prime minister by Gov. Gen. E. G.
Jansen could transform the poli
tical situation, in the country
plagued by tension between blacks
and whites and between whites of
British and Dutch descent. -
Strijdom's only other serious ri
val for the party leadership. Depu
ty Prime Minister Kicolaas Chris
tiaan Havenga, spread the word
he would quit the government and
politics if not elected.
Others loyal to him and to Mal
an. who backed Havenga in his re
tirement announcement seven
weeks ago, might eventually fol
low their candidate out. of the
party. The present party was
formed in 1951 as a coalition of
Malan's National party and Ka
venga's Afrikaner party, both
made up of descendants of the
country's Dutch-born Boer settlers.
This would bring the first serious
split in Nationalist unity, unbroken
since Malan led the two factions in
taking power six years ago from
the late Field Marshal Jan Chris
tiaanS muis' United party.
The struggle between Strijdom
and Havenga was one of tactics
and timing rather ttian other na
tionalist aims.
Strijdom is all for quickening the
pace of the Nationalist march
towards a christian national re
public in South Africa. He is
determined to cut the limited fran
chise and political rights of the
nation's 10 million nonwhites and
to speed the government's "apar
theid" program designed to sepa
rate the country's various racial
groups into tight geographic compartments.

Havenga's faction also favors
eventual republican status for the
country and racial segregation, but
generally advocates a slower ap
proach to the fulfillment of these
aims.
Churchill Cheered By Multitudes.
LONDON W Sir Winston
Churchill turned 80 today and mil
lions of Britons and admirers over
seas celebrated the birthday an-.
niversary as a persona! affair.
Not since the coronation of
Queen Elizabeth II had emotion
surged so strong through the na
tion.
The day began with business of
state. It was opening day for the
new Parliament. Queen Elizabeth
n was scheduled to read from
the throne her traditional address
to the government outlining the
legislative program.
After that a special ceremony
for Churchill was scheduled at the
Hall of Westminster with presenta

a portrait of the Prime Minister,
A family party at the Prime
Minister's official residence, 10
Downing Street, was the last event
on the day's schedule.
Two 90-pound birthday cakes
were baked one for the Parlla
ment party and the other for the
family gathering.
With one exception the Commu
nist Daily Worker Britain's na
tional newspaper hailed the day as
a big event in British history.
"Today Our Toast Is You, Sirl

the Conservative Daily Mail's
iront page.
But the worker published a
