DURBAN, South Africa, Jan. i7 - (CPi _ City officials were
native-Indian rioting here.
Police backed by 2.000 apparently have the murderous race feud under control. There was some shooting during the night when police fired on native looters. but there was no renewal of the frenzied mob killings which began here last ‘Thursday.
A total of 111 persons were kil- led in the rioting. touched off when a native boy was injured in r. fight with an Indian.
Now Durban has 25,000 Indian refugees on its hands. A major- ity are said to have homes to re- turn to but are afraid to do so. The situation has created problems of sanitation and food and water supply.
While Durban itself is quieter, the ugly warfare showed signs of
spreading to other cities and rural areas. A flareup was reported in
Johannesburg, largest city in Souiih Africa, 310 miles northwest of here. Police and troops stood by there to quell any violence after a bomb was hurled from a pass- ing car at an Indian shop. Win- dows were blown in but no one was hurt.
Other incident-s were reported in the Province of Natal. In one of them two natives were killed and three others» were injured. They hatl been attacked by a car- lcad of Indians.
More than 100 Africans, Ind- ions and Europeans appeared in court today on charges aris‘n<; from the riots. These included ar- son, public violence, tiicft, pes- session of revolvers and other lethal weapons and entering promises.
The magistrates court post- poned all cases because police witnesses were on duty,

‘Meteorite Falls Near Woodstock
WOODSTOCK. N.B., Jan. 17 — (CP)-An object they believe is a small meteorite landed close to Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Losler while they were outside their home at Porter Settlement.
Atfer a sound "resembling succes- ivo explosions of dynamite. in- creasing in volume." it changed to a “hissing like escaping steam.’ said Mr. Losier. Then something struck the ground.
The object broke in two when picked up. The outside was black- ened, as if scorched by air friction. The inside, light grey, was flocked with some bright, metallic sub- stance. It was about five inches long, three inches wide and two inches deep.
The pieces were given to R.C.M.P.

Jews Agree To Release i Of Trapped Egyptians
RHODES. Jan. l’! (AP) Israel and Egypt agreed today on a formula for the release of 3,000 Egyptian troops trapped at Faiuja. It was believed the Egyptians would be allowed to march out -of the pocket immediately.
The Faluja pocket constituted one of the thorniest problems in- volved in the talks on a South- em Palestine anriistice. Settle-j merit of‘ the point raised hopesf that a full Israeli-Egyptian arm- istice agreement could be reach- ed soon.
The Egyptian brigade was hemq mod in at Faluja when the Jews; launched their Negev offensive‘ last October. The town is 28 miles southeast of Tel Aviv in the por- tion oif Palestine assigned the Arabs under the United Nations partition plan. i

Dur- rell, general manager of the Lab- rador Mining and Exploration Company, LttL, said tonight in an iitlrlrr-ss prepared for delivery to the 'I‘ororito Board of Trade.
He said Canada will have first call upon production but at pre- sent. can not be expected to use more than 1.000.000 to 2.000.000 tons a year.
In normal times Britain would be another market with nn outlet of about 2,000,000 tons a year.
"New England looms as a po- tenlinl market. Important interests there are considering establishment of steel plants along the Atlantic seaboard, and that would open the possibility of marketing about 1,- 000,000 tons a year.
Mr. Durrell said his company has spent $5,000,000 and is preparing to spend $200,000,000 more, most of it in Canada. To ensure a fair return on investment it would need to ship a minimum of 10,00,000 ions of ore a year.

25 Schools Are iilosed, Attendance In Others Affected
MONTREAL, Jan. l7 -—'CP)- Roman Catholic lay teachers closed 25 Montreal schools today in o. wage strike which defied suspension threats by tihe Catholic School Commission and a ivarxiing from Premier Duplessis that. their Walk out was unlawful and an "act of sabotage."
The strike opening, first school walkout in the Provinces history was punctuated by minor distimo- ances among scme of the 70,000 children who had an enforced holl- day.
Police were called out as students demonstrations got out of hand in half a dozen places.
Meanwhile, the teachers, both French and English-speaking. rai- lled in a public hail.
Leo Guindon, president of the French-speaking Alliance des Pro- fesseurs Catholiques, told them "this meeting is a denial to those Devi-lie who thought we were afraid to strike. . .lhis is the first step to- wards realization of our demands. It is not the last."
For more than a month there hld been rumbling of a possible strike among the Roman Catholic teachers, paid from $300 to $1,100 a year less than their Protestant colleagues who are not affected by the strike.
The strikers. who receive mini-
.mum salaries of $1,000. are seeking '
basic pay of $1.300 for women and $1.100 for men. They are asking tops of $3.500 for men and $2,500 for women, compared with present maximums of $2.000 and $2.500.
The commission's offer stands at a $1,300-$2.100 minimum-maximum for women and $1.700 $1,200 for, men.
