INTERPRETING THE NEWS By JOSEPH MacSWEEN Canadian Press Staff Writer A new-old element in the South African tragedy has been brought into the open by reports that the British government fears a re- vival of intra-whiet feuding--be- tween Boers and Britons. The spectacular struggle be- tween Negroes and the National- ist government's racial policies was suddenly switched to a new sphere Saturday when a wealthy ritish-born settler tried unsuc- cessfully to kill Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd. The traditional rivalry--a mild word--between the Briton and the Afrikaner (man of Africa), once known as Boer, is easy to under- stand. South Africa was a rich prize in colonial days and has be- come richer since. Smaller than Quebec but with Canada, South Africa is the'rich- est country in the world in gold and diamonds and one of the 'Union Split Judgment Reserved TORONTO (CP)--The Ontario Labor Relations Board reserved judgment Tuesday on an applica- tion by the national executive of the International Union of Mine En aev a 4b dibs to split the I16,000-memb J: 598 in Sudbury. The application asked the board to grant successor rights to a separate local set up for the 2,- 100 employees of Falconbridge Nickel Mines. Local 598, at- odds with the union's national executive, has the bargaining rights for Falcon- bridge as well as International Nickel Company employees. It opposed the application. FIRST TIME The application marks the first time one local of a national or international union has sought successor rights from ' another local of the same union. Separate bargaining rights for a population approaching that of db Jae richest in uranium--to mention only mining. THE RUNDOWN An A-B-C of the background goes like this: Of a total population of 14,000, 000, there are 10,000,000 Bantu (which simply means "people'), 1,000,000 colored (mixed blood), whites, of whom 60 per cent is Afrikaner and most of the re- mainder of British origin, Although the Nationalist party, supported stoutly by the Afrikan- ers, holds two-thirds of the seats ip Parliament, it won less than half the popular vote in the last election which excluded the vast majogity of the population. During the last 10 years Afrik- aners, who formerly were mostly farmers--Boer means farmer Dutch--have moved into comme cial life, They have heavy in' vestments in banks, insur- ance companies, construction and mines. THE HISTORY The enforcers of apartheid (racThi separation), they are descendants of a group of Dutch pioneers who settled in 1652 at the Cape of Good Hope, so named earlier by the Portuguese, who |didn't stay. The English also |came earlier, planting the Union | Jack at what now is Capetown in 16820, but they didn't stay at that time. As the Dutch pressed north- ward, they clashed with African tribes migrating southward but for 150 years they were free of interference from other white a; re Britain occupied the Cape Colony to protect its sea lanes and the period of English colonization be- gan, In 1843 the territory north- east of the Cape, Natal, was an- nexed. The British and the Dutch went 'Old Boer, British Rivalry Emerges at it from the start. They spoke different languages, the British attitude toward the natives was more liberal and--although both sides were Protestant -- there were differences in religion, too. BOERS' TREK When the British colonists freed their African slaves, the Boers trekked off to the north again and set up an independent republic in what now are the Transvaal and the Orange Free War, which ended in 1902.

St. Lawrence Seaway officials announced that the 19,000 - ton Canada Steamship Lines vessel likely will inaugurate the sea- way's second season. Ice along parts of the 135-mile route has -forced the seaway opening, originally scheduled for| Friday, to be postponed until next Monday. It will take until next weekend to complete buoy laying along the route, officials said. Only two ships are at anchor below Montreal awaiting the opening, a marked contrast to last year when dozens of vessels filled the stream before the sea- way was opened April 25. The Norwegian freighter Sunny Girl and the British freighter Seadrake are the vessels at an- chor. About 10 inland ships and a handful of ocean vessels are tied known immediately, but the Se- cord turned under her own power. It is expected she will be forced to unload some fa be fore repairs can be made. Included in the vessels loading was the 730-foot. Murray Bay, the largest grain carrier ever launched on the Great Lakes. She was to take on only about 60 per cent of her 1,000,000-bushel capacity because of perilous nav- gation in the St. Mary's River. As the result of the shipping activity, 6,000 boxcars waiting here will be able to transfer their grain into the elevators.

PHOTO STUDIO In the 13 years he has operated his tiny photo studio in this sub- arctic community of 4,000 about $00 miles north of Edmonton, his| § camera has caught the majesty of the northern night, the loneliness of the trapper's life, the fury of arctic animals and the naive cur- fosity of the Eskimo. The visitor is not likely to find Mr. Busse at home. He heads "down" north on photo expedi- tions as often as he can, travel ling with flying missionaries, by dogsled, canoe or motorboat. "1 don't give a damn about business," he growls. *"I just want to shoot, I've got to have my finger on the trigger." Another of Mr. Busse's well- known pictures, Arctic Sundogs, was taken in 1950. It was a busy Saturday and there wree custom- ers in his studio. He looked through the window, grabbed a camera and left the customers to run up a hill where he shot the sun as it hung low over the hori- zon with brilliant sundogs on either side, glowing snow and sharply silhouetted trees. JUST BEGINNING Henry Busse estimates he has taken 5,000 pictures a year since turning professional at 52. They are just the beginning. "There is so much for me to do yet. I want to record the Eskimo before he is dead." Mr. Busse says the Eskimo in his natural state will be gone from the Arctic in 10 years.

The $1,000,000 plant, built on » shore of nearby Bed- ford Basin, is expected to start operations next month. Douglas Curtis of Onslow, N.S, president of the Abattoir Ltd., de- scribed the venture as '"'a mile- stone in the progress of Nova Scotia agriculture." The plant, when in full operation, can handle 200,000 hog carcasses and 100,000 cattle carcasses annually. The Nova Scotia hog industry the provincial government of- fered the rest of the money reeded for its construction. CHALLENGE TO FARMERS Premier R. L. Stanfield told farmers that the abattoir is a challenge to provincial farmers. He told a gathering at the plant's official opening Monday that "i would be disastrous if farmers failed to produce enough live stock to keep the plant operat-| ing."
