TWO YOUTHS UNDERGO

BRUTAL MAU MAU INITIATION

Nairobi, Nov. 11.

Police said today that eight Kikuyu women helped to strip two youths and beat them with the blades of pangas (heavy farm knives) during a Mau Mau ceremony at Kiambu last weekend.

This was the first report of women taking a major role in Mau Mau oath administering.

The police said 30 Mau Mau members, including eight women, had been arrested after two 18-year-old boys reported that they had been forced to take the oath after being ambushed last Sunday night.

The two youths said needles were driven into their thumbs and they were made to suck one another's blood while flat stones were pressed against their naked stomachs by the women.

Part of the ceremony consisted of pushing a stick seven times through a piece of raw meat and reading one oath each time.

BUTLER'S

SPEECH

London, Nov. 11.

The House of Commons tonight rejected by 313 votes to 279-a government majority of 34- a Labour Opposition motion seeking to censure the government for its economic policies.

The motion was an amendment to an address of thanks for the Queen's speech outlining the government's programme for the new session of Parliament.
