Bombs away
PA Auckland An exploding flour bomb •plattered the Prime Minister (Mr Muldoon) on the shoulder of his dinner Jacket as he was walking into the Grammar Club in Auckland last night. About 20 demonstrators, carrying placards reading “Out of South Africa” and
“No More Lies” greeted Mr Muldoon when he arrived outside the clubrooms. One demonstrator, the president of the Citizens Association for Racial Equality (Mr T. O. Newnham), said that the group was opposed to New Zealand’s relations with South Africa.
There were no policemen present when the Prime Minister reached the building, but after the flour-
bomb incident about 10 were stationed outside.
Much of Mr Muldoon’s address to the club was about South Africa and Rhodesia.
