Last week she was refused a passport-to attend the con- ference, which opened at Qorking, .England this week. She has also been forbidden to leave South Africa. At the annual conference of British Labor Women in East- boune in 1954 she warned that it might be the last time she could. leave South Africa as “those of us in South Africa who are opposed to the goy- ernment might find it impos- sible to get passports.” Elected to the enational ex- ecutive of the South African Labor party in 1933, Mrs, Mc- Pherson was the first woman mayor of Johannesburg in 1945. She said that she had ap- plied for a passport in Febru- ary and repeatedly requested a reply, but thiat the govern- ment had delayed:its reply so as not only to prevent her going but to make it impos- sible to. elect an alternative delegate. South African Fit.-Lieut. P. J. Lagerson, DFC, who this week flew the RAF Canberra jet bomber to set a new world record on a flight from Lon- don to Tokyo, over the North Pole, is Mrs. McPherson’s son- in-law. (Dr. Herbert Evatt, leader of the Australian Labor party, declared in London that the refusal to issue a passport to Mrs. McPherson was “outrag- eous.” The conference, would take the subject up “as a mat- ter of urgency.’’) Harry Bloom, author-barris- ter who wrote the novel Epi- sode about racist unrest in South Africa has also beer an- formed that his exit permit has not been. renewed. This means that he is un- able to leave South Africa, and cannot visit London to receive. his British Authors’ Club prize for the best first novel of 1956 — an award which he won with Episode. ~ Ben ‘Turok, one of the 150 people involved in the “trea- son” trial in Johannesburg, was elected last week to fill a vacancy on the Cape Pro- vincial Council. He was returned unopposed to a seat representing Afri- cans. At present on bail, he was barred from speaking af any election meeting but is now taking legal advice as to whether he can sit in the council. MAY 31, 1957 — PACIFIC TRIBUNE—PAGE 15
