Africa Alleged Kennedy conspirators plead innocent to charges I By AP and Reuter JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Thous- ands of black workers boycotted their jobs yesterday and police fired birdshot and tear gas at demonstrators in the black township of Soweto. Police also launched a house-to- house' sweep of another black township, ar- resting many persons. The latest action to protest South Africa's race policies come as talks between Prime Minister John Vorster and Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith on the worsening racial clashes in both countries were set to begin in Prteoria :today. Also, U. S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is due in the South African capital Friday for another round of talks with Vorster. NO INJURIES were reported' in the So- weto clash, which police said came after several buses were burned. However, three black youths were shot and wounded by a white motorist near Cape Town. The youths were reportedly throwing stones at cars. Seven nonwhites were killed by white civilians in separate incidents over the weekend, police said. The work boycott is a repeat of a three- day boycott last month organized in Soweto. The huge black township is the source of much of nearby Johannesburg's labor sup- ply. THE LAST BOYCOTT ended in bloody street fighting. Zulus and other migrant workers who wanted to continue working battled permanent Soweto residents. Thirty- five persons were killed, some by police try- ing to control the rioting. This time, the militant Soweto Students Representative Council (SSRC) and other strike organizers appealed for a nonviolent three-day work stoppage. The students urged workers to stay at home for three days in protest at the al- leged killing of. chrdilen by police, detention without trial and the stopping of wages of blacks who went on strike previously. PAMPHLETS DISTRIBUTED over the weekend by the SSRC said: "Parents: coop- erate with us. Workers: stay away from work. Hostels: do not fight. "This will be proof you are crying with us over those cruelly killed by police and those detained all over the country in vari- ous prisons without trial." A messenger from Soweto, who travelled to his office by taxi, said: "We have been told that if we go to work we had better go home by airplane because there will be trouble waiting for us at the railway sta- tions and bus stops." THE BUS company which runs internal services in Johannesburg said only 13 of its 132 black drivers and conductors had report- ed for work. A spokesperson said skeleton services operated. Some Johannesburg businesses reported.80 per cent absenteeism among employesnbe- cause of the boycott, while other said most workers showed up. Communter buses and trains running from Soweto into Johannes- burg were reported almost 90 per cent em- pty. Hardest hit were clothing manufacturers, department stores and supermarkets which reported an absentee rate of up to 75 per cent among black employees. SPRINGFIELD, Mass.

Former Americans newly naturalized to other unknown citizenship now excluded or excludable from the U.S.: thousands All 7 million war era veterans were doubly victimized. Like most Americans, they believed government lies that macked the aggressive nature of U.S. involvementand Ameri- can violations of international laws of war. Drawn primarily from the poor and minorities, these vets have been "used and thrown away" by this some government. Many are jobless, disabled and frustrated. Their physical, psychological and employment needs must be met. Moreover, the U.S. must end its war against the peoples of Indochina by normalizing relations with their new governments, and meet its moral and legal obligation to help rebuild what it destroyed.
