The boe of the firm, Ian Withers, an ex-policeman, told the Sunday Times, which first revealed the inquiries, that his inquiry was handled by his political departmeha.

Hens w publi repot t. John F-lth., amvtsy: THE BOURNEMOUTH District Branch of the Ani-Apartheid Movement was founded In November 1966. to counter the activities of the Anglo-Rhedealan Society in East DorsetWeet Hants. The fi rtsecretaryofthefBranch Wa Brian Blancharde, a Rhodesian from Bulawayo, and his wife, Ray, from Cape Town, was treasurer of the interim committee. At first, activity was confined to a letter campaign in the local press, and to aneatensive speaking tour, coverilg the DorchesterCheddar-Portsmouth ares. These led to a steady Inflow of members ad to the undertaking of debates with the local Smith lobby (the anti-Smith line has won on eachoccasinl) and the mounting of public meetings, the main one fe.triag Nicholas Chitalga and Leo a in May lsBtt ear. Pickeis, marches, letter-campaigns, filmshoes., information evenings for lndal r a. sations, briefing sessions for members and countr-demonstrations have formed the staple diet of the branch, the aim being to educate public opinion and to keep the Southera African issues slive. This year, Human Rights Year, has given Us the opportunity of extending ourinfluence, partially through our official representation en the local HRY committee and partially beaus many of our members are active In HRY in other capacities. Notable has been the contrbutton made by Mrs Lilian Bader, whose lectures to clergy and to schools on Race Relations in the UK have been one of Scotland THESCOTTISH Councilfor African Questions. Edinburgh Branch, last month condemnedthe British Government for 'offering to the racist and repressive rebels ofthe Rhodesian Front, independence on conditions faling short of No Independence Before Majority Rle". Their reanlution also regretted Mr Thomeon's willingess to visit lhdesia, to 'treat with men who have no intention of renouncing white supremacy". Theresolation asks the Government to disengage from close association with South Africa, and to put Increasig pressure on the Portuguese Government at this time of change. The Edinburgh Anti-Apartheid Movemrent were active In organisiag the public meeting held by the AAMat 'he Liberal Party Assembly, which was addressed by John Pardne, MP, and Sobizans Macqihana. Cambridge MORE THAN 100 Cambridge students att ded a conference held last month on Revolution in Southern Africa, organised by the University UNA. The speakers, Frene Ginwala. Jon Shvo KNom rnc. T ,.d r.iffnrM the most successful exercises of the BRY Committee. Cooperation with other AAM group has been spasmodic but successful. With Winchester AAM and other organisations we quashed a pro-Smith jamboree in Salisbury, Wilts and later we supported Southampton AAM at their public meeting which featured Judy Todd and our then secretary. Other projects now under way incaide a apesher panel of four, all with personal experience of the problems and countries concerned - South Africa and the ex-High Commission states, Central Africa, East Africa ad UK Race Relations. This bids fair to be a most constructive aspect of our work. Fund-raising for medical aid to the guerillas in Southern Africa is nier consideration and has been submitted to the National AAM for their reactin, as has the idea of a Christines Against Apartheldaction group. During the past year Southern African members have produced a leaflet, "Rhodesia - A Fact Sheet". A detailed survey of Rhodesia under the Front is almost complete and the draft has been submitted to AAM HQ with a vime to publication.
