The rally was addressed by pro-Marketeers ot both the Labour and Conservative parties.

The, referendum is on Thursday. From T. S. MONKS, Staff Correspondent LONDON, Monday. Divisions in the British Labour Party have widened following a call by the Secretary for Education, Mr Reg; Prentice, for a government of national unity because of the dire situation Britain was in.

Speaking to an audience of about 2,000 people in Leeds yesterday, Mr Prentice said: "The situation of our country does demand that politicians of all parties should co-operate together in trying to find answers to our critical problems." But at the same time he emphasised that he was not calling for a formal coalition government. Hostile reactions, particularly from the left-wing, had built up in advance when the text of Mr Prentice's speech became known two days ago. There had been speculation that in view of this antagonism he would modify the speech on. its delivery to a big pro-Common Market rally. But Mr Prentice boldly pushed on with his theme, which, however much it inflames sections of the Labour Party, is much discussed by the ordinary people of Britain.

He attacked "exaggerated partisanships, those boring mock battles in the House of Commons which repeat each other over and over again and the idea that politicians have to prove their virility by claiming all the time that their party is 100 per cent right and the other party 100 per cent wrong." The spur to Mr Prentice driving on with this theme is the way in which leading politicians of all three major parties have been working together in the pro-Common Market campaign. His plea is that this spirit of unity -among the ''realistic and moderate politicians" should not be lost after the referendum on Thursday. The Labour Party's Left Wing dislikes Mr Prentice. It has been calling for his blood since March when he accused some trade unions of "welshing" on the social contract. The chairman of the Tribune group, Mr Sidney Bidwell, said last night that Mr Wilson should regard Mr Prentice as "expendable." The party general secretary, Mr Ron Hayward, said last night that no one could make a spoon long enough to allow Labour politicians to "sit down and sup with the devil." The intense hostility of the Left to anything that smacks of "coalition" stems partly from the memories of 1931 when Mr Ramsey MacDonald took the leadership of a "national" coalition Government and split the Labour Party: but primarily from the knowledge that a government of "national unity" now would inevitably mean the shelving of nationalisation and other socialistic plans.

There was no alternative but to open fire." First reaction to the shooting came from the former ZAPU leader, Mr Joshua Nkomo, who is a member of the ANC executive. 1 While deploring the police action he said: "I also think it is a misdirection of effort by some factions in our organisation who organised today's demonstration." The ANC meeting was held to discuss the ultimatum from the Prime Minister, Mr Smith, calling on the council to attend a constitutional conference. A brief statement was issued, announcing that the ANC had decided to hold "preliminary talks" with Mr Smith leading to a constitutional conference with Britain based on immediate majority rule.

'SALISBURY, Monday. Angry Africans went on the rampage through Salisbury's black townships early today after Africans were shot dead by Rhodesian police. The police said later today that the death toll had reached 13 dead, with 25 wounded. Two African policemen were injured one seriously and a White policeman suffered eye injuries when his car was stoned. The townships were sealed off by police road blocks.

Inside groups of Africans ran riot, setting fire to shops, beerhalls and cars. The violence started after police killed five Africans and wounded eight as they tried to auell day-long feuding in the ighfield township between 2,000 members of rival militant African nationalist organisations the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) the Zimbabwe Escudo! African People's Union (ZAPU). Police shot dead another six Africans and wounded seven more as a running battle spread after dark to the townships of Harari and Glen Nora. The ZANU and ZAPU factions had been involved in scuffles as they waited outside a hall in which the executive council of the organisations' umbrella body, the African National Council (ANC), was meeting. Police removed roadblocks today as the Rhodesian capital returned to normal.
