But a recent letter in the Medical Journal of Australia says women are at a disadvan tage since lions are more apt to attack someone who is men struating. Aware of this biologic al handicap, one female lion tamer asked her physical! to re move her uterus. The doctor, satisfied that this was a “rare but genuine indication for hysterec tomy,” complied. The patient is said to be “happily settling into her new profession.” **************************-¥■ HALF PRICE BOOKS 50,000 Books Sealed Classical L.P.'s From $1.99 Large Selection of Rock, Jazz 6r Soul Music Most Merchandise Half-Price or Less HAISF SFRICE BOOKS ^RECORDS MAGAZINES 3828 TEXAS AVE.

Church officials both here and in Africa fear it is a prelude to a crack down on the multi-racial, anti apartheid organization. That fear was not alleviated when two investigators for the Eloff Commission, named for the jurist heading the investiga tion, visited the United States to meet with opponents of the Council and supporters of the South African government’s policy of racial separation. Although the investigators said they were in the United States to sample the range of U.S. opinion on the South Afri can Council of Churches, they met with supporters of the coun cil only when those supporters ‘ ?d on a initiated and insistec meeting. According to the commis sion, it is looking into alleged financial irregularities in the council’s handling of money, especially by the former General Secretary of the organization, John Rees. But both South African and U.S. church officials doubt that is the real reason for the inquiry. Willis Logan, director of the National Council of Churches’ Africa office, calls the inquiry “a political witch hunt and a pre lude to silencing the South Afri can Council of Churches.” The council remains one of the few organized institutions in South Africa still able to speak loudly and effectively against apartheid, the policy of racial separation. “We know that the real reason for the South African govern ment’s hearings is to discredit us and our longstanding opposi tion to apartheid,” Bishop De smond Tutu, current general secretary of the council, said in New York recently. “Already it has made its inten tions clear through demands that the council justify its struc ture, origin and historical pers- f iectives,” he said. “It is not our inances that have drawm the government’s concern; it is the way we carry out the teachings of Christ.” A major project of the South African Council of Churches, which represents 22 church bodies with a membership of 15 million people, of which 80 per cent are blacks, is aiding political f irisoners, detainees and their amilies.
