Arizona Facts
I B Battle of the Bulls
The bloodiest battle faced by the Mormon Battaljon, a
unit of the Army of the West during the Mexican War,
was not an encounter with the enemy but with a herd of
wild bulls! The fantastic battle took place in 1846 in the
San Pedro Valley near Benson. The grazing herd, startled
by the rumble of the approaching battalion, suddenly
attacked goring pack-mules, overturning wagons and
trampling supplies. Several soldiers were seriously hurt
and sixty bulls killed during the "battle" that lasted for
six hours.
y of selective breeding, the thousands of
e grazing on Arizona ranges and being
eding lots, bear little resemblance to their
s. Today, the cattle industry is a major
na's economy. Another industry that is also
it to the state's economy is the brewing
i, directly and indirectly, provides steady
or over 11,000 Arizonans whose earnings
)0,000 a year.

SOUTH AFRICA
WITHDRAWS FROM
COMMONWEALTH
LONDON—South Africa deci
ded to quit the British Common
wealth.
The rupture, threatening econ
omic repercussions in the multi
racial group of nations, came
over South Africa’s racial segre
gation policies.
The nation’s white supremist
minister, Henrik Verwoerd, was
quoted as telling a commonwealth
conference:
’The proceedings at today’s
meeting which have obligated me
to take this regrettable step, in
my opinion, mark the beginning
of the disintegration of the com
monwealth.’’
Blaming Asian-African mem
bers of the commonwealth for
raising the apartheid issue, Ver
woerd mentioned India, Ghana,
Malaya and Ceylon.
Verwoerd took the step when
the other members insisted on
their right to denounce South
Africa’s apartheid policy.
The decision came after three
days of argument by the 11 prime
ministers and presidents behind
locked doors.
Britain’s Prime Minister Mac
millan had toiled to get a for
mula acceptable to everyone.
But three leaders of the oppos -
ition stood firm—prime minis
ters Nehru of India, John Dief
enbaker of Canada and Tonku
Abdul Rahman of Malaya.
