TALKS ON RACE POLICY
Hammarskjold To Visit S.A.
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) NEW YORK, Oct. 12.
The United Nations SecretaryGeneral (Mr Dag Hammarskjold) said today he hoped to go to South Africa in January for talks on the racial question. Tn a report to the Security Council, Mr Hammarskjold recalled that because of the Congo crisis he had been unable to make a planned visit J to South Africa this summer.
He said that at a meeting in New York on September 28, with the Union’s Minister of External Affairs (Mr Eric Louw) “a new invitation was extended to me by the Prime Minister of the Union Government to visit the Union early in January, 1961.”
The Security Council last April instructed Mr Hammarskjold to begin consultations with the South African Government on the racial question as a result of the March 21 Sharpeville riots, in which 69 Africans were killed and 180 wounded.
