a rt i k. i r-T a APr 14 AFRICANS SHOT Show Time in City, Country MDirHC I rKAVCD DEAD IN RIOT TALKS POLICY London Economic Drastic Plans to Combat Defiers CAPETOWN, Nov. 9 (A.A.P.) opened fire on a mob of rioting Africans in Kimberley last night, killing 14 and injuring 39. At the same time, in another Cape Privince town and in the Transvaal, two South African Ministers reaffirmed the Government's preparedness to use drastic measures to combat the defiance campaign. Conference Plans CANBERRA, Sunday.

Federal Cabinet will start an im- porta nr three-day sitting on Tuesday to deal with the agenda for the Commonwealth Economic Conference, which opens in London on November 27. The Prime Minister (Mr. Menzies) spent considerable time at the week end studying the agenda. He did this with soTne of the officials who assisted to draw it up, at the preliminary official-level conference in London last month. In the gold-mining town of Kimberley 14 Africans died and 39 were hurt when a handful of police opened Are with rifles and Sten guns to escape thousands of rioting Africans.

Four of the injured Africans are expected to die. Police were surrounded by hostile Africans when they rushed to the scene of the riot, and had to fight their way clear and retreat to bring up reinforcements. Police said that the riot began when Africans created a disturbance in a beer hall by kicking mugs around and attempted to rob the till. After the riot beer from the wrecked beer hall flowed down the street. A reinforced police force repulsed the Africans when they advanced in a body, and eventually broke them into groups and made them disperse.

The mob stoned the police, seriously injuring an African detective. The municipal recreation centre, a post office, a police van nd two municipal lorries were set alight by the rioters. Later last night Africans made an unsuccessful attempt to burn down a beer hall in another location. No other incidents were reported. I 1 When announcing Australia's Ministerial repre- sentation at the conference, Mr.

Menzies said that, in view of the present stage of the current economic and financial policies, the Treasurer had taken the view that It would be unwise for the Prime Minister and himself to be absent from Australia at the same time. Hence, Sir Arthur Fadden had refused his invitation to go to London. Similarly, It was learned that In view of the problems associated with the administration of import restrictions, it would be inconvenient for. Senator O'Sullivan to be away from Australia at the time of the conference. The Minister for National Development (Senator Spooner) and the Minister for Commerce and Agriculture (Mr.

McEwen) left for London at the week end, accompanied by senior departmental officers. Emergency May be Called Australian officials who have remained in London since the official talks. These include Mr. G. Ruddock, director of Be-gional Development of the Ministry of National Development, and Mr.

L. B. Brand, acting director of research of the Bureau of Census and Statistics. Mr. Menzies will also have talks overseas with Mr.

L. G. Melville, Australia's executive director of the International Monetary Fund and of the International Bank for Reconstruction and De velopment. Mr. Melville lerl t.hp Australian official delega- Mim db rasi, monrn preliminary discussions on the drawing up of the agenda.

Cabinet talks will be Important. They will mark the last chance Mr. Menzies will have to discuss the conference with his colleagues the Treasurer (Sir Arthur Fadden) and the Minister for Trade and Customs (Senator O'Sul-livan). Law Challenge if Expulsions Mr. Holiday, M.L.A., said last night that "litigation might folloM'" any at- tempt by today's meeting of the Liberal and Country party State executive to expel members of the breakaway group re-endorsed by iheir branches.

"I-don't think it would try It." Opposition to the re-endorsement of breakaway L.C.P. members as candidates for the election is certain to be voiced at today's meeting. However, it is considered most unlikely that the meeting would decide on so drastic a step as expulsion. Another moVe likely to be made at the meeting is to urge that State executive rescind the endorsements of the breakaways. Likely Step The most likely action to be taken against the breakaways Is that the executive may decide today to authorise endorsements for the election.

In this way "loyal" L.C.P. members could be endorsed to oppose each of the breakaway members. The Leader of the L.C.P. (Mr. Norman) will not attend today's meeting.

He will rest before opening his campaign at Canterbury Memorial Hall tonight. (Other References, Page 4.)
