JOHArWESBURO South Africa's main white opposition
party has voted to defy the law by opening it3 rani s to all races
and demanding an end to military conscription. The two con
troversial resolutions were adopted Sunday by the leaders of
the Progressive Federal Party. In response, two party members
resigned from the PFFs parliamentary defense committee and
one, Harry Schwarz, called for a special party congress to
reverse the vote by the party's Federal Council
The council voted to defy the ICC 3 Prohibition of Political
Interference Act, which bans members cf different races from
belonging to a single political organization. The PFFs spokes
man of defense, Philip Myburgh, said in a statement that he
was resigning because he opposed the resolution calling for an
end to conscription. The resolution followed the white-minority
government's controversial use of the army to fight unrest in
black townships, where over 165 people have been killed since
February. The decision to embrace new members regardless of
color b a direct challenge to the National Party, which sine?
coming to power in 1048 has rigidly segregated society to
maintain white-minority rule over the 73-percent black
majority.
Prominent PFP member Helen Suzman, a champion of the
fight against apartheid, said "The government will be perfect
foob if they try to stop us." Suzman said she did net expect a
rush by non-whites to join the PFP, which groups white oppo
nents of apartheid. Noting that any non-white applying to join
the FFP would be liable to prosecution, she said, "It will all
depend on how intimidated people are."
With 26 seats against the National Party's 131, the PFP is the
largest opposition group in Parliament's 176- seat white
chamber, which retains overall control of the state while leav
ing minor local affairs to the Indian and mixed-race deputies.
Lebanon, loraei report progress
NAQOURA, Lebanon Progress was reported Monday in
the third round of talks between Israel and Lebanon on ending
Israel's occupation of southern Lebanon. Israeli and Lebanese
spokesmen commented favorably on the talks and a joint
communique alter the meeting said: "The principles of security
arrangements were presented by both sides and some positive
elements appeared in the discussions." However, Israel reiter
ated its rejection of three Lebanese demands made last week .
$10 billion in reparations for Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon,
the opening of crossing points between northern and southern
Lebanon and the release of prisoners.
Poland warns Western report ere
WARSAW The Polbh Foreign Minbtry warned Western
reporters Monday that they risked prosecution if they attended
press conferences given by newly formed human rights groups
which the government has declared illegal. Minbtry officials
said journalists could face the same charges as organizers of
the meetings. The possible charges were not spelled out but
mbdemeanor courts can pass sentences of up to six months in
prison for participation in illegal assemblies.
Representatives of Reuters, the Associated Press, United
Press International and ABC-TV were given the warning per
sonally by the minbtry. They were told the authorities thought
their reporting increasingly gave too much attention to opposi
tion to the government.
Human rights groups have been set up in Warsaw, Cracow
and Wroclaw to monitor allegations of police brutality since
the murder of a Warsaw priest, Jerzy Popieluszko, by members
the security police last month. Government spokesman Jerzy
Urban said last week that the groups were illegal and wanted
to create anarchy. Their members have been summoned by the
authorities. Several were told they faced charges carrying pri
son terms of up to five years.
Western diplomats described the warning to correspond
ents as being in conflict with the press provisions of the 1875
Helsinki agreement between the West and Communist
countries.
