Most people would suspect
that lion taming could be per
formed equally well by men and
women. 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.”

The South African govern
ment has begun a judicial inves
tigation of the South African
Council of Churches. 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.

In addition to expressio
concern from the Nai
Council and the 16 Pro!
and Roman Catholic rej
tatives who met with Elof
mission members, the b
three Lutheran bodies
pressed their concern 0'
inquiry.
