VEREENIGING, South Africa (M) - A huge demonstration planned as a nonviolent protest against the white government's strict Pass Laws for African Ne- groes erupted yesterday into furi- ous violence. Nearly 50 Negroes were slain by police gunfire and 156 more were wounded. Jet planes and armored cars also were used to disperse the demon- strators. Converge on Station Twelve thousand Negroes had converged on the police station in the native quarter of Sharpeville, besieging 25 policemen inside. Rifle and machinegun fire from the police station mowed down the front ranks of the crowd. The Ne- groes fell back in panic. Afterward a police officer de- scribed the scene : "Like a world war battlefield -bodies lay man- gled and sprawling all around." A Johannesburg news photograph- er said: "I took pictures of more bloodshed than I have ever before seen in South Africa." The demonstration was part of a nationwide Negro campaign that began yesterday against South Africa's Pass Laws, one segment of the nation's racial segregation laws. There were scattered reports of violence elsewhere. Proclaim Campaign The campaign was proclaimed by the Pan-Africanist Congress, a militant offshoot of the African National Congress, the continent's dominant Negro independence movement. The African National Congress withheld support, claim- ing the campaign was insuffi- ciently organized to succeed. The Pan - African movement urged Negroes to leave their passes at home and thus invite arrest. The idea was to fill the nation's jails to overflowing, slow business and transport and demonstrate that South Africa's 3 million whites would be economically lost without low-cost labor provided by 11 million nonwhites. Under South Africa's strict ra- cial segregation laws, all non- whites must carry passes-some- thing like internal passports. Once authorities stamp the passes "na- tive," Africans are barred from many jobs, are subject to special curfews and must live in special native areas like Sharpeville, where yesterday's demonstration1 took place. U.S. Starts B roa dcast o Cuba WASHINGTON (P)-The United States moved yesterday to tell its story to the Cuban people through Spanish language broadcasts while it persisted in diplomatic efforts to salvage relations with Fidel Cas- tro's government. The broadcast program, although lirited, was hailed by one senator as a sound step but the latest diplomatic gesture was castigated by another as "the most sickening kind of appeasement." The one-hour, daily broadcasts ion Spanish between 8 and 9 p.m. EST will be limited in effective- ness because they will be trans- mitted via short wave and thus can be received by only about 3 per cent of the Cuban who own that type of set. Hails Voice Still, Sen. Gordon Allott (R- Colo.) hailed the Voice of America program, starting last night as a step in the right direction. He called it a quick response to his appeal to do something to offset the persistent Anti - American propaganda of Castro. He called it a "positive approach and htgLly encouraging sign." Allott said he had been advised the United States Information Agency is studying plans to broad- cast to Cuba on standard bands to bring the program within reach of all the island's 1,300,000 long wave sets. But in another Senate speech Sen. George A. Smathers (D-Fla.) sharply criticized the state de- partment for sending Ambassador Philip Bonsal back to Havana. Calls Appeasement Smathers told the Senate that Bonsal's return would be inter- preted as appeasement throughout Latin America and would indicate the United States is trying "to do business with a d'ctator." He said his appeals to keep Bonsal in the United States were disregarded by Secretary of State Christian A. Herter. The Senator said renewed attacks on the United States made even as Bonsal was landing in Havana bore out his arguments. The fresh criticisms were made by Ernesto (Che) Guevara, Cuba's economic czar, and Cuban Presi- dent Osvaldo Dorticos. Britain Asks U.S. To Sk 'With I Whest seeks More Details About Quota Want Moratorium, Joint Scientific Study GENEVA ()-The British gov- ernment was reported last night to be urging the United States to go along with the main lines of a new Soviet proposal for suspending nuclear tests. This does not mean, informants said, that the British are ready to accept the proposal without question but are as interested as Washington in learning more de- tails of the Soviet plan.s n Both Western powers want to know more about the Soviet quota system for inspection of suspicious earth tremors. Gives Answers Soviet Delegate Semyon K. Tsarapkin gave some of the an- swers to British and United States questions at yesterday's session of the 17-month old three-nation ne- gotiations for a treaty banning nuclear tests. Russia has proposed the conclu- sion of a partial treaty providing a controlled ban on all types of nuclear weapon explosions except small underground tests. An accompanying three-power moratorium would prohibit the holding of small underground tests while a joint scientifie study would attempt to solve difflicult detection problems involved in such blasts. - Offer S '"on Tsarapkin said both the mora- torium and the study could remain in force for four or five years with the expectation that the under- ground detection problem would be solved in that time. He previously had set no time limit. If the four or five-year period expired without results, Tsarapkin said, the moratorium and the studies could be continued for an additional time if the three na- tions agreed. Tsarapkin wants no resumption of tests of any kind once the par- tial treaty and the moratorium go into force. Not Trapped Neither Britain nor the United States intends to be trapped into a blank-check promise not to con- duct tests until they see how the whole arrangement can be worked out. Britain's Sir Michael Wright recalled that his government re- served its position on the question of resuming tests. The British delegate said he un- derstood the Soviet Union now is accepting a phased approach to a treaty and that the specific de- tails of the Russian plan were open to discussion and negotia- tion. leZ, WASHINGTON (A) - President Dwight D. Eisenhower met with Secretary of State Christian A. Herter yesterday, and the White House reported they gave "serious consideration" to Russia's newest proposal for an atomic test ban. The Administration meanwhile drew a curtain of secrecy around a letter Eisenhower sent Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. This reportedly assured him the United States has not present plans to share atomic weapons with its allies. Press Secretary James C. Hag- erty declined to confirm or deny reports to that effect. Sent Letter Diplomatic officials said, how- ever, Eisenhower had sent such a letter, replying to a March 8 message from Khrushchev. The Khrushchev letter protested what he complained were American plans to hand out atomic weapons to Atlantic Pact countries.. Khrushchev was reported to have made not mention, in his letter to Eisenhower, of the Soviet proposal put forward Saturday at Geneva on the atomic test ban issue. This Soviet proposal would ban all kinds of nuclear tests until Soviet - American experts decide how to police and inspect small underground blast. Phoned Eisenhower Hagerty told a news conference only that Eisenhower and Herter discussed it during their hour-loig meeting yesterday. Herter elso phoned Eisenhower twice at Camp David mountain retreat c the weekend to talk over the viet plan, he said. "Many people in the gove ment are taking a very care look at It," Hagerty said. He brushed aside questic about whether the Administrat was encouraged at what appea to be a carefully hedged s toward accepting the Ameri view that small underground to should continue on the reason that they are impossible to detV Administration disarmame specialists, in studying the Sov offer, were reported to be ado ing an increasingly skeptical v: of the Soviet offer-at least in present form.
