Campaign Set To Be Started bout June 26
Leaders of non-white groups in Port Elizabeth plan a passive civil uprising to protest apartheid laws around June 26. Dr Moroka heads the campaign, aiming for mass disobedience and jail overflow to push toward national freedom. They seek equal terms not non cooperation, with over 10 million non-whites supporting the effort against Malan's regime. Conditions among non-whites are unsettled, and the movement lacks arms and organization.
