Text transcribed from caption: P-31340 METHODISTS TOLD TO LEAVE SOUTHERN RHODESIA SALISBURY, So. Rhodesia--Bishop Ralph E. Dodge, head of the Methodist Church’s Laurenco Marques area (left), and the Rev. Robert E. Hughes, a denominational missionary, have been ordered deported from Southern Rhodesia as “undesirable immigrants.” A request to extend their departure date beyond July 31 was denied by the government. Although no other official reason was given for their ouster, it was reported that the Americans were told to leave because of their stand against racial discrimination in the African nation. Bishop Dodge’s area includes Rhodesia and the Portuguese territories of Angola and Mozambique. He has repeatedly been denied permission to visit these territories.
