Mr presented. Acheson very properly con- centrated on emphasising the principles which have guided the United Nations at the truce negotiating table, and made it very clear that the Communista had only to acknowledge and accept the principles embodied in the United Nations Charter for the suspended Panmunjom taiks to be resumed immediately and the final armistice con- ditions agreed on. So far as the Allies are concerned the door has been left wide open to a renewal of negotiations; Mr Vyshinsky, however, has virtually claimed the door shut with his wholly negative approach to tho issue. His attitude and Jino of argument indicated that so far.

ELEVEN KILLED IN RIOTS Kenya Goot Break With
Africans Set Fire
To Shops And Cinema
In Port Elizabeth
Port Elizabeth, Oct. 19.
Eloven people were killed, including four whites, when thousands of Africans raged through the normally quiet suburb of New Brighton last night, burning shops, cars, a post office and South Africa's biggest and most modern Bantu cinéma.
For eight hours crowds of rioters roamed the streets, stoning official buildings and the railway station. Police rein- forcements rushed to the town and shots were fired before order was restored.
Only today did the police give details of the riots and the casualties. Last night they said the incidents were "not serious.'
Twenty-seven people were injured in the riots. Police made many arrests-but would not say how many,
About 1,000 Africans attacked the cinema-the Rio. The white manager and his wife with the cinematograph operator, his son and a 15- year-old schoolboy fled down a fire escape.
But the rioters caught them. Manager Rudolph Brandt, 45, was killed, his wife was assaulted but escaped. Also killed were the operator, 38-year-old Gerald Leppan, and the schoolboy, Karl Francis Bernhardt.
Brian Leppan escaped with Mrs Brandt. The bodies of the dead were mutilated.
