White Apartheid Foes Harassed

The government has begun a crackdown on white foes of apartheid, detaining more than a dozen without charge and telling others to stop their activities, leaders of the movement said today.

David Shandler, secretary of the End Conscription Campaign, said security officers picked up 13 members in Johannesburg and Cape Town late Tuesday and early today. His organization opposes mandatory military conscription for white youths on grounds that many will be assigned to repress residents of rebellious black townships.
