WOMEN "LASHED
PUNCHED & STRUCK"
Johannesburg, Jan. 15.
Miss Freda Troup, British author and sup- porter of the African "passive resistance" move- ment, alleged today that she saw African women lashed, punched and struck by European prison wardresses here.
Miss Troup was supporting similar allegations about the treatment of male African prisoners made earlier this week by Mr Manilal Gandhi, journalist son of the late Mahatma Gandhi.
She made her allegations in a letter to the Johannesburg Star which detailed her experiences during a 25-day prison sentence last November for illegally entering the Germiston Duncan, an native location with Gandhi and Mr Patrick Englishman,
While in prison, she said she saw a wardress fling a baton "with splendid aim" at a cowed African woman who did not answer quickly enough a question in Afrikaan.

The Big 4 Talks: Compromise Offer
CONCESSIONS TO RUSSIA
Paris, Jon. 16.
The Western powers will agree to half of the "Big Four" Foreign Ministers' meetings in Berlin being held in the Soviet sector of the city provided the site is considered “neutral” territory, informed quarters said here last night.
Instructions to this effect were being sent to the Western Commandants in Berlin, these sources said.
In their desire to see the Foreign Ministers' conference open as scheduled on January 25, the Western powers have decided not to adhere rigid- ly to their last suggestion that three out of every four meetings should be held in the Western part of the city, these quarters said.
