RHODESIAN BILL
Discrimination Outlawed
(N.Z. Press ASsonatton—Copyrigtit) LUSAKA (Northern Rhodesia),
June 18.
The Northern Rhodesian Government today put forward legislation outlawing racial discrimination in places of refreshment or entertainment, said British United Press.
It is one of the most controversial pieces of legislation seen in the Central African Federation.
The Government proposes a fine of £lOO or loss of the trading licence for five years if a cinema, bar, cafe or restaurant is found guilty of barring anyone on purely racial grounds. The bill also envisages compensation for owners who can prove that they have suffered financially through the enforced integration. It provides a fine of £lOO or 12 months’ imprisonment for people who enter multi-racial establishments “for abnormal .reasons or who behave racially unpleasantly, or try to get other people to do the same.”
