(CP Photo) WINDHOEK. South Africa Oi A reserve may be proclaimed to save the Bushmen South Africa's vanishing raee frVrni ex tinction. Col. P. I. Hoogenhout, native administrator, said a two-man commission, consisting of Professor P. J. Schoeman and Major J. W. Naude, a former police officer, now Is in the Kalahari desert investigating means of preserving the Bushmen. These primitive little people now are estimated to number between 2,50(rand 3,500 and they are dying out. They are scattered in south west Africa over an area of about'60,000 square miles! most of which is inaccessible, un known and largely uninhabited They micrate with the wild animals, following the lishtnins; which, to them, indicates ratn and, therefore water and good hunting. The idea of a reserve is not so much to fence the Bushmen in as to keep their traditional enemies the Herero and Ovam- bo tribesmen out. The Her eros and Ovambos rate the Bushmen no higher than a wild animal. CHILD MURDER They are however, not the only threat of extinction to the Bushmen They are decimating themselves by child murder, a ruthless pruning of their decreasing numbers In order that the few may continue to exist. If. as often happens, the Infant of a mother who has died In childbirth cannot be disposed of by adoption, the baby Is buried alive with the mother. Illegitimate children are also usually put to death. When twins are born one is Invariably killed. Because of the severe conditions Of lire Infant WrUIMT 0 tunrv sually high.. This is not the first attempt to save the Bushman from himself and his enemies. In the eighteenth century an effort was made to persuade this nomadic people to settle down. They were given farms and livestock. They killed and ate the stock: and returned to their hunting hn the trackless wastes.
