...city has enjoyed permanent legal residence there and could not normally be "endorsed out." The new bill abolishes that right, and a man who has spent his life as a clerk in a Cape Town chemist's shop could end up swinging a pick in a Transvaal gold mine.

Ex-Navyman Phillip Gordon, 44, arrived in Southern Rhodesia with a Jeep and $500 in 1949, is now one of the wealthiest men in British Central Africa; he has built two housing developments, owns a furniture factory, a construction business and operates a gold mine. Lawrence A. Hautz, 54, sold his successful Milwaukee insurance agency ten years ago to take his arthritic wife to the milder climate of Salisbury, also in Southern Rhodesia.
