LONDON (AP)--Jo Grimond, leader of Britain's Liberal party said today that the assassination of South Africa's white-suprema- cist Premier Verwoerd "should surely be a warning to all those who hope to run autocratic reg- imes in Africa." News of the stabbing was flashed to British Prime Minis- ter Wilson, attending the Com- monwalth prime _ ministers' conference here. / The South African premier was last here in 1961, when he told a similar Commonwealth gathering of his country's in- tention to quit the 23 - nation multi-racial grouping. Commonwealth Secretary-Gen- eral Arnold Smith, commenting on the assassination said: 'Meaningless violence and as- sassination are unlikely to solve the political problems of South Africa. "Violence never does much good, It just leads to more vio- lence. It is a very sad thing." The Canadian diplomat said he doubts whether this "sad and ugly business" would have any impact on this afternoon's cru- cial discussion of the Rhodesia issue at the Commonwealth leaders' conference here. At the United Nations, news of the assassination stunned dele- gates. UN Scretary-General U Thant told reporters "this is de- plorable because any violent ac- tion is deplorable." . s IT'S TIME TO HIT BOOKS AGAIN Books, books and more Lisko, principal of St. dents lazed, the Board of books.

By REUTERS Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd was South Africa's chief apostle of apartheid--the policy of sep- atate racial development criti- cized throughout the world. He was the policy's architect and its unswerving supporter, remaining unmoved by the monolithic opposition to apart- heid from black Africa and from all other liberal opinion. Verwoerd, who was born Sept. 8, 1901, rose from professor of psychology to prime minister of the then union--now republic--~ of Seuth Africa, Born in Amsterdam of Dutch parents, he became an ardent nationalist from his school days in South Africa. He studied at Stellenbosch University and in Germany at Leipzig, Hamburg and Berlin before returning as psychology lecturer to Stellenbosch in 1924. |EDITS PAPER | More than six feet tall, a ra- |pid and impatient speaker, Ver- jwoerd first became politically prominent as the editor of Die Transvaler, which he helped launch in 1937. Elected a senator in 1948, he became minister for native af- \fairs in 1950--and fostered the jsuccessive apartheid laws. | At the same time, he im- proved social services for. the Negroes, insisting however on \their separate development. | He was chosen prime minister |by the Nationalist party in Sep- F itember, 1958, following the death of Jan Strijdom. Apart from his apartheid laws, Verwoerd wt co 4een & history as the statesman under whose government the 'South African people elected to be- come a republic, ACHIEVES GOAL p Th achievement of republl- can status was in fact his pro- claimed goal on becoming pre- mier. In October, 1960, he saw his goal achieved when a refer- endum of white voters gave a big majority for a republic. A hard worker from whom no detail escaped, Verwoerd al- |ways brought to his duties a driving #ense of mission as 'well as personal courage. As other Afrikaners, mem- bers of the Dutch Reformed Church, he liked. to invoke scriptural justification for his racial policy. He was often con- temptuous of opposition from APOSTLE OF APARTHEID HENDRIK VERWOERD outside 'his party and"intolerant of opposition from within it. Verwoerd first came into the limelight-in South Africa in 1936 when he led a small group of Stellenbosch professors in a protest against' the admission to South Africa of Jewish refugees from Germany.

OTTAWA (CP) Casual bookkeeping and an $18,500 mistake on his income tax justify a $2,170 penalty against architect A. W. Wal- lace of Waterdown, Ont., the tax appeal board ruled in a decision announced today. The board upheld a deci- sion by the revenue depart- ment to nail Mr. Wallace for "gross negligence' in cal- culating his 1961 income. A "remarkable series of errors in calculation" by Mr, Wallace set his taxable in- come at $17,973 for 1961 in- RR. 6. Fordham, the boards's assis- tant chairman, turned down Mr. Wallace's appeal against the penalty. The judgment described an "unusual" 20 years of part- nership between Mr, Wallace, 63, and architect L. B. Hus- band. Mr. Husband retired in May, 1961. They kept no partnership bank account. Each paid from his own pocket as they arrived, collecting half the amount later from the other partner. Employee salaries were paid the same way. PENCILED ENTRIES The only accounts consisted | of a cash book in which Mr: Wallace made entries in lead pencil. He also kept "a small pocket diary in which mémo- randa were recorded ir- regularly and in a way that made the entries rarely: in- telligible to anyone other than Wilson Oversees propriate if he yielded the chair to some other head ef govern- ment to avoid any ambiguity about the role he would have to play as the representative of the British government." SHOW CONFIDENCE |. However "several represent- atives said they had complete confidence in Wilson,' Smith added. He said the decision was | unanimous. Outside the conference room rival demonstrators picketed over the Rhodesian question. Some of the 50 demonstrators backed Rhodesia's African na- tionalists and other bore signs supporting its breakaway white- minority government. The pickets, jostling shoulder across the street from Marlbor- ough House, the conference site, included Africans backing Rho- desia's banned Zimbabwe Afri- can National Union--pledged to fight the. white government -- who carried signs saying "Z.A.N.U. says Wilson traitor." A small group of white Brit- ons demanded '"'hands off Rho- desia,"' while four other whites carried a banner reading, '"'ma- jority rule for Rhodesia." As the conference opened, a woman tried to drive through the main gates of the building in a red car with a loudspeaker broadcasting "recognize.Ilan Smith's 'regime now."' Police disconnected the loudspeaker and told her to move away. NOTE BALEWA'S.

(CP)--A white assailant killed Prime - Minister Hendrik F, Verwoerd today by plunging a knife several times into his neck as he sat on his bench in Parliament. The 64-year-old leader of the apartheid Republic of South Af- rica was stabbed several times in the neck by a man dressed in the uniform of a parliament- ary messenger. A man. believed to be of Greek descent and employed as a messenger in Parliament was taken into custody soon after the attack. ' Verwoerd was stabbed to death in the House of Assem- bly, debating chamber of the lower house.

Blood spurting from his neck made a large pool on the green carpet alongside his seat. The man was dressed in the black and green uniform of a parliament messenger, and members took it for granted he was on official duty. Members of Parliament grap- pled with him and pinned him to the floor until he was removed' from the chamber. Soon after Verwoerd had taken his seat on the front bench the assassin walked to- ward him. 4 Verwoerd looked up as if he expected the messenger was go- ing to speak to him. The as+ sassin then plunged the knife into Verwoerd's neck. Verwoerd was stabbed at least three times. His assailant was armed with three knives, one of which leoked like a dag ger. : Architect Of Race Separation Killed At High Point Of Career Verwoerd. slumped at. his desk, his head down, his face white. One doctor tried to re- vive him by giving him the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. About 15 minutes after the at- tack, Verwoerd wae carried on a stretcher to the main en- trance of the Parliament build- ing. The chamber was hushed and shocked. Several doctors who are mem- bers of Parliament rushed to the side of the man who be- came the symbol of South Af- rica's racial segregation. The white-haired architect of race separation would have cel- ebrated his 65th birthday in two days' time. He was killed at the peak of his controversial career. The assailant struck as the prime minister was about to make his first parliamentary speech since his ruling National party was returned to power with an increased majority in last March's election.
