Press photographers scatter as a tear-gas canister explodes
Auckland.—The anti-Spring-bok tour movement will receive a formidable boost from yesterday's treatment by New Zealand Press, radio and television of police action in Cape Town.
Ehe Sunday edition of the country's biggest newspaper, New Zealand Herald, of Auckland, had front-page headlines saying "Brutal police attack on Cape Town students." Beneath, a Reuter report highlighted police kicking and punching girl students, slapping them in the face and manhandling them. The report emphasises efforts by police to impede photographing of their attack on students.
News sessions on State and private radio and on State television likened the attack to police actions in fascist countries.
