...reaction, South Africans have resigned in droves from the armed forces to join the ranks of Torch Commando, the anti-Malan political rally formed last year by a young South African air force ace, "Sailor" Malan, who is a distant cousin of the Premier Malan he fights. "Not a single self-respecting white man" would join Torch, a Nationalist minister once prophesied. Last week Torch claimed two of South Africa's most distinguished soldiers. One was General George Edwin Brink, C.B., C.B.E., D.S.O., Croix de Guerre. The other was General James Thorn Durrant, who was eased out this year...
Inspired by his dislike of the British crown, demagogic Premier Daniel Malan has been reinstating officers who refused to fight in what the Nationalists called "the British war," and moving them into commands above the officers who had served their country.

But the Congress ignored their founder's son, and, led by the Communists, spent their time denouncing "American imperialism in Korea." Worst of all, Malan's government also ignored him, and proved that passive resistance might be the best weapon against passive resistance. No summons for his arrest came. Gandhi last week went back to the library and railroad station, this time taking his wife Sushila along. Again there was no arrest. Gandhi...
