Dear Mr. Y/hyte,
The attached press cutting and copy of my letter
to the newspaper concerned refers.
I bad no hesitation in putting in the contradic
tion first thing this morning so that it could appear in this
afternoon's issue as I have a distinct recollection that at a
meeting in Johannesburg last July of the Executive Committee
it quite emphatically reaffirmed that the Institute could not
associate itself with an appeal or organisation of a similar
nature to this.
This was in response to a request hy a member
of the Executive. No reference to the request or ruling was
made in the minutes but the matter is firmly in my recollection.
I would be glad however if you would confirm the
correctness of my action in this particular case as this will
considerably strengthen my hand.
There is, of course, no objection whatsoever to
members of the Institute serving on such a Committee so long
as it is clearly understood that they do so purely in their
personal capacity and not as representatives of the Institute.

Detainees Relief Fund in
P.E. stands at over £200
MORE than £200 has already
beep received by the Detainees
Relief Fund in Port Elizabeth.
The aim of the fund is to help
the families of those who have
been held under the Emergency
Regulations.
The committee is headed by
Father Cyprian Thorpe, of the
Anglican Holy Spirit Mission in
Kwazakele.
The Black Sash, the Liberal
Party, tbs Institute of Race
Relations, the Christian Council
for Social Action, the Distressed
Areas Council, and the African,
Coloured and Indian communities
are represented on it.
The fund has the backing' of
leaders of the Roman Catholic
Church, the Christian Council,
the Anglican. Presbyterian, Bap
tist and Conp-regationalist Chur
ches in Port Elizabeth.
The committee applied for
registration under the Welfare
Act on April 2, and the applica
tion was granted on Saturday.
Among the early money gifts
were various donations from
Canada,
totalling
about
£50.
These were the result of a report
about Port Elizabeth written by
Mr Norman Phillips, Foreign
News Editor of the Toronto Star,
who visited the city while report
ing the South African crisis.
Mr Phillips referred to the com
mittee headed by Father Thorpe,
and almost immediately Canadian
dollars began to come in. One
cheque from a legal firm was for
£25.
The committee estimates there
are at least 60 detainees, most of
them with families of more than
two children. The distribution of
food and clothing has already
begun.
Money, food or clothing can be
sent to the Distressed Areas
Council office, 35 Short Street,
every morning of the week except
Tuesdays. The office will also be
open on Tuesday afternoons.
Contributions can also be sent
to Father Thorpe, 50 Diaz Road.
Parsons Hill.
Similar funds have been estab
lished in Durban, Cape Town, and
in other centres.

Dear Mx. Robertson,
re* Detainees Relief Fund
1 write to confirm that while there is no objection to
members of the institute serving on committees such as the
Committee for the Detainees Relief Fund, it should be on the
clear understanding that they do so purely in their personal
capacity and not as representatives of the Institute.
You are quite correct in stating that the Institute doe*
not associate itself, as an Institute, with appeals of this
nature, although there may, of course, be occasions when the
Exeoutive .Committee of the institute may decide that the Institute
as such should participate.
We wish to thank you for your prompt action in this matter.
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
/

Assistant Bishop of Cape Town,
P.O. Box 1932,
CAPETOWN.
Dear Bishop Cowdry,
This is just a tiny note to congratulate you, the
Cape Committee and staff on what they have done over
detainees.
It has been a grand job and must have taken
infinite persistence and patience.
And Donald Molteno
has been quite wonderful.
I felt I must write to say this for I am very
proud of Cape initiative, and of what the Institute has
been able to do through your committee and staff.
Tours sincerely,
Quintin Whyte,
Director.

Dear Mr. Whyte,
I am sorry your letter of August 9 has been unanswered for so
long.
It arrived on the day of our August meeting, but too late for me to
read it to the members, so it was only last Friday that I was able to pass
on your praise.
We were very gratified and grateful for what you had to say.
Donald Molteno actually blushedi
All good wishes,
Yours very sincerely,
Quintin Yfhyte, Esq.
