More Than 100 Killed After Durban Race Riots

Durban, January '15.

Troops patrolled the smouldering scones of Dur- ban's violent Indian-African race riots tonight, now officially "quiet," but sold to threaten fresh outbreaks during the week-end. The Governor General of South Africa, Mr. Gideon

Brand Van Zyl, today authorised the use of any Union troops, including Territorials, to quell the riots, which have cost at least 100 dead and 1,000 Injured in 48 hours.

The outbreak, the worst in the Union's history, had been raging almost continuously since Thursday. Observers in Durban feared fresh rioting after shops and husinesses had closed for the week-end.

The President of the Africa National Congress, Dr. A. B Xumo, is leaving Johannesbur "er Durban,nt the request of th Natal African Congress and th Natal Indian Conversy to investio. gate the riots and try to hel end them.
