BRITAIN PROTESTS:
White Rhodesia
Executes Blacks
SALISBURY, Rhodesia (IP) -
rwo black Africans convicted of
the political murder of another
black were hanged Monday by
Rhodesia's white minority govern-
ment. Britain immediately ruled
out further negotiations with its
breakaway colony.
Francis Chiresa and Taka Jere-
miah went to the gallows after a
special meeting of Prime Min-
ister Ian Smith's Cabinet decided
Sunday that "the law must take
its course."
Three other blacks convicted of
imurder had been hanged in Salis-
bury last week in spite of a re-

day in his runoff against white
candidate Charles Griffith.
Evers, on leave as state field
secretary for the National Asso-
ciation for the Advancement of
Colored People, got 33,706 votes
in the'first round. Griffith led
six white candidates with 28,927
of the 114,871, votes.
Negro leaders, encouraged by
the Evers vote, hope to get a larg-

Three Negro candidates for the
same seat in recent years drew
only token votes.
prieve by Queen Elizabeth II.
The action was condemned by
Britain, the United States, other
nations around the world and two
committees of the United Nations.
Pope Paul VI appealed for clem-
ency for the more than 100 blacks
under death sentence in the ter-
ritory.
The latest executions heightened
pressure on British Prime Minister
Harold Wilson's government to act
against Rhodesia.
Commonwealth Secretary George
Thomson told a stormy session of
Parliament: "There can be no
question of resuming contacts with
the illegal regime."
Wilydn last week had reiterat-
ed that Britain would not use force
against Rhodesia. There were re-
ports, however, that tougher econ-
omic sanctions-including a ces-
sation of postal and telecommun-
ications services -. were being
considered againstRhodesia.
Thomson indicated that the U.N.
Security Council might soon take
up the situation. But Foreign Of-
fice sources said the government
has no intention of yielding its pri-
mary responsibility for the territ-
ory.
At the United Nations, Secre-
tary General U Thant denounced
the new hangings as "illegal and
savage acts" carried out "in de-
fiance of world public opinion."
U.N. members contend that the
regime holds power in Rhodesia
illegally and therefore lacks the
legal authority to conduct execu-
tions.
