THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13,1951 #AGE SEVENTEEN Civil Servants Must Know Two Languages in Africa Johannesburg (CP) -- Strict ap- plication of South Africa's lan- guage laws and regulations by Prime Minister Daniel Malan's Nationalist government has biock- ed promotion of civil servants who are not competent in both of the country's official languages -- Afri- kaans dnd English. While there have been cases of Afrikaners losing promotion because they are not bilingual, the English- speaking officials in South Africa's extensive civil service have been the hardest hit. Their case is being taken up by opposition politicians and news- papers who allege that language tests are being operated unfairly in the civil service, that a *"gestapo" atmosphere is being created and that political pull accounts for more than service and ability. All these allegations have been denied by Dr. Malan and his min- isters, They point out that the South African constitution required every civil servant to be fully bi- lingual and say they are only car- rying out the law. The language issue, Dr. Milan told the South African parliament, was being exploited by the United party opposition for political pur= poses. PROMISES JUSTICE "I have said before that if an in- justice is done to English-speaking people or to their language, I would like to be the first to see to it with all the power at my command that Justice is done to them." The United party, the prime min- ister said, would move heaven and earth to get back to power. "It has only one weapon, and that is to stir up the racial feelings of the English-speaking people and so frighten them that they will refuse to vote for the Nationalist party, no matter how good the merits of the case may be." A/more lenient interpretation was placed on the language laws by the United party when it was in power, with the result that many English- spegking officals rose to senior positions although they were not bilingual. Ye The present minister of trans- port, Paul Sauer, has said "the law and regulations with regard to bi- lingualism were watered down very considerably during the regime of the last government. I am going to make people realize that they can- not attain the highest standard of efficiency unless they can speak both official languages." "The Afrikaners are the most bi- lingual section of the population," Mr. Sauer said, adding that he was glad to see that the English-speaking section was making rapid progress towards bilingualism, ALL FACE TEST "Tightening up" .is achieved through language tests, obligatory on all civil servants who are eligible for promotion. Not even the highest ranks are exempt and fail- ure means that an official loses promotion. The tests are imposed in a sur- prising number of occupations. They apply to all grades of railwaymen up tothe position of general manager. They also apply to harbor- pilots, tug-masters, harbor staffs, soldiers and' sailors of all ranks, pilots and mechanics of the air force and the airways, radar and radio operators, medical men, scientists, and 'men and women in many other walks: of life. Mr. Sauer said the policy of bi- lingualism would apply equally to both sections of the population. He was applying the policy for the protection equally of Afrikaans and English-speaking officigls who had made themselves competent in both languages, The majority of Afri- kaners were bilingual, but Afrikan- ers who did not learn English would also miss promotion. This had hap- pened recently in the post office. Security is Big Problem By JACK HENRY Baumholder Camp, Germany (Reuters)--The U.S. arm) in Ger- many is shifting most of its troop, tank and artillery training from the Grafenwohr area, almost within cannon shot of the Czech border, to this old Wehrmacht ground in the French zone. The French, who have occupied Baumholder since the end of the ar, have almost evacuated the camp. Two regiments of the U.S. 4th Infantry division, which ar- rived in Germany in June, are al- ready here and the 2nd Armored division will have the bulk of its troops here on permanent station. The Americans have completely renovated the elaborate Wehr- macht barracks layout at Baum- holder. Painting and carpentering crews have been busy and the area glistens with new white paint. Although the artillery ranges have scarcely begun to function, army engineers are erecting an ul- tra-modern Post Exchange PX thop. ' Soft drink distribution trucks headed the vanguard of troops to the 'new area. The troops will live in tents here ut the officers have taken oVer he French Officers' Club, a spa- cious stone and stucco building with parquet 'floors and an unrivalled view of the rolling Rhineland foot- hills. Baumholder is technically clas- sified a secret project, but there is nothing to prevent Soviet agents from gathering whatever informa- tion they desire. 5 A secondary German public 'high- way bisects the camp, and traffic is permitted to pass, unchallenged by any sentry. In fact, there are no sentries anywhere, and the troops appear happy to discuss the i | training program as a break to the | monotony. As is true of nearly every United States military installation in Ger- many, a large force of Germans, male and female, is employed at Baumholder. This poses a security problem which United States com- manders frankly admit they see no way of overcoming. All the Germans employed, as a stopgap measure, are screened by the counter - intelligence corps. but no one seriously believes that this procedure is airtight, So far, too,sthe army has not attempted to check the flow of in- formation from the troops to their German girl friends.
