' fess New Leader In South Airica Stern Backer Of White Role : From AP-Reuters CAPE TOWN (CP) — Pre- mier - designate Balthazar Jo- hannes Vorster is South Af- riea’s sternest champion of white supremacy—a man who believes that only apartheid can save his couhtry from com- "| munism. ( As minister of - justice he was the .architect of a whole series of relentless laws aimed at crushing resistance to white man’s rule. Critics call him cruel and dic- tatorial, but John Vorster—as he prefers to be called—believes in toughness when it comes to dealing with the threat of com- munism. The 50 - year - old Afrikaner lawyer has been hailed as ‘‘the Churchill of the veld:” ir Winston Churchill would not have been flattered. Vors@er was interned during the Second World War for his anti-British and pro-Nazi sympathies. A. burly, generally unsmiling man, Vorster denies he is power hungry... : Norster was born at James- town, Capé Province, one of:a family of 15. His father was -a farmer but young Voreter earned a law degree at the University of Stellenbosch. In legal practice in Johannes- burg, he developed.a smooth and fluent speaking style which ——he later used effectively in the South African Parliament. © Premier Jan Christian Smuts’ wartime government Vorster as a member of the Os- sewa Brandwag.

Dr. -Jacobus Daniel Vorster, a minister of the Dutch Reform Church, says of his: brother: oa hold him -in high regard because he is true to the Afrik- aners’ principles, true to his aspirations and his religion.” «Vorster has little personal @perience of the ‘world outside South Africa.

JUSTIFIES MEANS Vorster defends his tough pol- icies by stating in his political philosophy that the end justifies the means. But the:man whose security laws are attacked as Draconian in'-South Africa and abroad, presents a different face to his family and- to fellow” members of his several golf clubs. around Johannesburg. _Fellow~ golfers describe him as a relaxed and affable man who never discusses politics. | - During..-his..tenure. as. justice minister he encouraged judges and leading members of the prisons’ staff to take long-term Negro convicts, preferably mur- derers, as servants in an at- tempt to rehabilitate them. Vorster joined the cabinet only five years ago and has held only one post—minister of | justice, police and prisons. - As archit.ct and ardent de- fender of the all-embracing se- curity laws, be @en a mass fol- lowing from the rank and, file of the Nationalist party, partic- ularly in the Transvaal, tradi- tional. heartland of the “hard” | wing of the party.
