Like the Roman, I seem to see 'the River Tiber foaming with much blood.'" The man who quotes Virgil and sees Britain's future in such somber colors is Enoch Powell, Conservative member of Parlia- ment, former professor of Greek and a brigadier in the British army during World War II. What has filled him wtih such foreboding is the presence in the United Kingdom of approxi- mately one million dark-skinned imigrants from the shattered British Empire and their off- spring. They continue to come at the rate of about .50,000 a year. Mostly new they are the depen- dents of immigrants already here. The number of vouchers for new immigrants, excepting de- pendents, has been limited to 8,500 a year. Powell sees Britain's tradition- al way of life irrevocably altered The friends and relatives of Ethyl McCormick, past director of the University's department of social services, wish to express deep sympathy at her death on January 7 in the Dearborn Heights Con- valescent Center. Miss McCormick was 79" years old and at the time of her death was living with her brother Floyd at 24647 Farmington Rd. in Farmington. Arrangements were handled by the Heeney-Sund- quist Funeral Home at 23720 Farmington Rd. Miss McCormick was cremeated January 9. in the future unless something is done. He proposes "virtually stopping further inflow" and promoting the "maximum out- flow" of the immigrants. "Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad," says Powell. "We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting the annual inflow of some 50,000 dependents, who are for the most part the mate- rial of the future growth of the immigrant-descended popula- tion. It is like watching a na- tion busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre." Not since 1958, when a small number of whites roamed through London's Notting Hill district attacking colored men -- Briton's phrase for both Asians and Africans-has there been a serious white-black con- frontation. Fourteen whites were arrested and sentenced to prison for the 1958 rioting. There has been continuing discrimination, however. And there have been audible rumors of discontent about the new burdens for Britain's National Health Service, crowded schools and inadequate housing. A majority of the letters pub- lished by the Institute of Race Relations, which -promotes in- terracial harmony, showed that large majority of those favor- ing Powell's stand were con- cerned about "the effect of a large colored minority on Brit- ish culture and traditions." Many others cited the strain on the social services produced by the immigrants, their fear of a "repetition of events in the United States," anxieties about overpopulation and "complaints about the behavior of immi- grants." The anti-Powell letters also were analyzed. A large number objected to the speech because it was "inflammatory' or "in- creased racial tension." Others objected because the speech was "anti-Christian," it gave a "cloak of respectability to racialism," because Great Britain had exploited the coun- tries from which the immigrants came or that it encouraged fas- cism. At least 29 writers said immi- gration created no problems. One said the speech was "a milestone onthe road to apart- heid." Another said Powell's speech was "the greatest affront to human dignity since the gas chambers of the Hitler era." A survey made for the British Broadcasting Corp. in late No- vember showed that 82 per cent of white British adults believed there should-be further controls on immigration, and 74 per cent agreed there should be a large scale plan for voluntary repa- triation of immigrants as pro- posed by Powell.

Post Meet Your Mate through the Some British industries rely heavily on immigrant labor, such as the textile mills of West Yorkshire and the London gar- ment trade. About two-thirds of the working imigrant popula- tion are employed in manufac- turing. They are also heavily em- ployed in public transport, in hotels, laundries and catering and in the construction indus- try. But they also provide sone skills.- , In the National Health Serv- ice, 43 per cent of the junior hospital doctors are immigrants. Some 30 per cent of pupil nurses are immigrants. The health service would have to be cur- tailed without their services. The immigrants are generally concentrated in the large manu- facturing and business centers wiith approximately half of them in the Greater London area. Un- employmentamong them is less than 5 per cent, This concentration in the larger cities and towns inevit- ably adds to Britain's difficult housing problem. Of the 15,700,- 000 inhabited dwellings in the country, 1,800,000 are describ- ed officially as unfit for human habitation. Nearly three mil- lion have no inside toilet. The persistent report that im- migrants take a larger propor- tion of the social service ex- penditur? is denied by the In- stitute of Race Relations. Ex- penditure per head for immi- grants, the institute says, is $105 annually compared with $148 for the population in gen- eral. Only in education and child care do the immigrants receive more than the whole population $32.58 per year for each immi- grant child compared with $28.92 for the others. A new Race Relations bill passed several months ago will strengthen the hand of the Race Relations Board in combatting discrimination and greatly wid- en its field of action. The new act gives the board power to take action in the civil courts against those practicing discrimination. The board's field of action has been expand- ed from places of public resort to cover hotel and boarding house accommodation, banking, insurance or credit facilities, education, entertainment, re- creation facilities, refreshment facilities, transport and the ser- vices of any busness, profession or trade. A new Community Relations Commission is being establshed under the act to promote better racial relations. Frank Cousins, 64, once a truck driver and re tiring next year as secretary- general of the Transport and General Workers Union, has been appointed chairman of the commission. He has led the drive to rid British unions of race preju- dice and once told a Labor party conference: "Let them be our brothers." Some poitical observers see Powell's campaign to end immi- graton and repatriate th o s e immigrants who wish to return home as a subtle move to un- seat Conservative leader Ed- ward Heath and take over the job for himself. Official policy of the Conserv- ative party on the racial ques- tion is that immigration should be "strictly limited" and that no automatic right of permanent residence should be granted. However, Heath does not go along with Powell's more ex- treme views and has criticized his presentation of the problem. the news today by The Associated Press and College Press Service .. .F CANADA IS REVIEWING its military policies and Its commitment to NATO. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau said yesterday the forces currently committed to the alliance will remain so for this year. at least. At the end of the current review, he said, Can- ada may withdraw partially or completely from the treaty organization. Trudeau, speaking at a summit conference of British Commonwealth leaders in London, also confirmed that Can- ada wants to recognize Communist China. "You stand to gain nthing by not recognizing a regime that represents one-quarter of the world's population," he said. THE AMERICAN MOON LANDING CREW was offi- cially named yesterday. Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin A. Aldrin were selected to form the crew for the Apollo 11 mis- sion, the first American space team scheduled to make a lunar landing. Armstrong, a civilian, was named commander of the mission. According to present plans, he and Aldrin, who will pilot the lunar module to be used in the landing attempt, will drop to the surface while Collins continues to orbit the moon. All three men are veterans of space, having served in the Gemini program. Armstrong flew the nearly disastrous Gem- ini 8 flight with Astronaut David Scott. Both Aldrin and Collins flew on Gemini missions and took space walks. LEBANESE PREMIER-DESIGNATE Rashid Karam said yesterday he will avoid giving Israel an excuse for attacking Lebanon. Karami told a news conference that Israel was using guerrilla activities as a pretext for attacking its neighbors. However, in Jeruselem, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan warned that any Arab guerilla bases on Lebanese soil will remain open to assalt. Karami was asked by Lebanese President Charles Helou to form a new government to succeed that of Abdullah Yafi, which resigned Tuesday as a. result of Israel's unchallenged commando raid on a Beirut airport Dec. 28. LATEST CASUALTY FIGURES released by the U.S. Command show that 7,693 American servicemen have been killed in action in Vietnam since the Paris peace talks started. Negotiations began informally on May 13 last year. In Paris yesterday, a spokesman for the North Vietnamese dele- gation said Saigon's refusal to negotiate with the NLF showed that Saigon wanted the war prolonged. He referred 'to President' Nguyen Van Thieu's remark yesterday that as long as the NLF demanded a four-sided conference the South Vietnamese would refuse to prticipate. EMPLOYMENT IS INCREASING STEADILY and un- employment neared an all time low in December 'Labor Department Statistics showed yesterday. The rise in employment continued a three month trend, benefitting nonwhites especially the report said. However, nonwhite unemployment is still twice that of whites, the de- partment said. In addition, the department said that average earning for the rank and file laborer rose to $2.93 per hour, a gain of twenty cents per hour from the year before. 0' * * SEN. GAYLORD NELSON, (D-WIS.) said yesterday he will join in sponsoring a constitutional amendment to abolish the electoral college. The amendment proposed by Nelson will provide for the direct election of the President and Vice President by popular vote, he said. Nelson also advocated lowering the voting age to 18 and reforming campaign spending laws. He also said he Would reintroduce a proposal he offered last fall to set up a 30 member commission to propose a new system of nominating presidential candidates. DEFENDERS OF ROBERT KENNEDY'S accused as- sassin continued yesterday their efforts to have his trial dismissed. Defense attorneys said they would attempt to show that Los Angeles cournty grand juries do not represent a cross- section of the community, claiming that this would be evi- dence enough to have Sirhan's indictment quashed. They also subpoenaed 12 broadcast newsmen in what one of Sirhan's lawyers said was a preparation for a motion for a mistrial. The motion would be based on the nature and quantity of publicity surrounding the arrest and indictment of their client. / Daily Classifieds 1' -' 1 RAND KATIE S44ERMAN MITCHELL HEFLIN LLOYD READ BOOKS' Every Sunday in d l i NOW ! 4 1 i L Shows at 7 & 9 P.M.
