ATTACK ON PICKETS
Punches, Fruit Thrown (N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) SYDNEY, Feb. 21 Townspeople punched and hurled fruit at students who demonstrated against alleged racial discrimination in the north-west New South Wales town of Moree on Saturday. The students, members of the Sydney University Students’ Action for Aborigines Council, had tried to picket the Moree municipal swimming pool and gain admittance to it for nine aborigine children.
The pool management had barred the children because, it said, they were too dirty and unhygienic to mix with whites who used the pool.
