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- Evers Leading in Mississippi Civil rights leader Charles Evers will make the strongest Negro bid for a Mississippi. congressional seat since reconstruction Tues- 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- er vote "plus support from whites. 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.
