Actually, British Guiana's Marxist husband and wife team have themselves busily stirred up racial trouble by calling on East Indians to support "to the death" Cheddi's demand for immediate independence from Britain. And they contributed mightily to the current flare-up by calling East Indian sugar workers out on a strike during which nonstriking Negro field hands were beaten and murdered. Negroes have fled from heavily East Indian villages, and streams of East Indians from Negro-dominated areas have poured into refugee camps near the Georgetown capital.

Priced as low as $2,368 and able to accommodate a small family in its four seats, the Mustang seems destined...
Whenever race trouble erupts in the South, newsmen are about as welcome as segregated schools. Tempers can flare at the mere presence of reporters, who are there to record an example of Southern inhospitality. Last week in the little Alabama farm town of Notasulga, local hostility turned into violence-with an ironic twist. The victim was a Southern er: Vernon Merritt III, 23, a freelance photographer from Birmingham. His attackers were officers...
