Africans Aim Political Guns At Portugal I X1TED NATION'S. N Y. (UPI) Black. Africa readied its diplo matic power today for a. cam paign to force Security Council discipline of Portugal and South Africa. Portugal's policies in its over seas territories and South Afri ca's practice of racial separation or apartheid shared the agenda of the council session summoned this afternoon at the request of .32 African countries, the continent's entire U.N. mem bership except for South Africa. The Portuguese problem was scheduled to ' be dealt with first. But interest centered on the South African racial situation, which brought demands for an arms and oil embargo, enforced by a blockade, if necessary, and hints that a formal move might be made for South Africa's ex pulsion from the United Nations. South Africa, whose Prime Minister Henryk F. Vorwoeid has hinted that his government might quit the United Nations, will not be present officially at the coun cil meeings, which are expected to run two weeks to a month. Its delegation will be represented only as an observer. But Portugal, whose Premier Antonio Oe Olivcira Saluzar has said his country could well be the first member to leave the United Nations, sent Foreign Minister Alberto Franco Nogueira to par ticipate in the debate. The ' Africans, following the mandate of the recent Addis Ababa conference, designated three foreign ministers to present their arguments against Portugal and South Africa. Mongi Slim of Tunisia, a former General 'As sembly president, J. Rudolph Grimes of Liberia and John Ka-refa-Sinart of Sierra Leone have been in consultation with other delegates for more than a week. U.S. Ambassador Adlai E. Sevenson cut short a European trip to return for the council ses sion. His first step was to discuus the situation at s White House policy session and his second to impress on Slim, Grimes and Ka-refa-Smart that the United States strongly opposes a move to expel South Africa.

IIMHI S.E? s big lift for Oregon s economy in 1. $11,500,000 for 1,150 new flat cars, being built in Oregon primarily for movement of finished lumber and other Oregon forest, products. Builder of these 53-foot-long cars is Gunderson Bros. Engineering Corp., Portland. Initial 400-car order is currently being delivered. Remaining 750 cars will be placed in service during the next sev eral months. 2. Conversion of 750 standard box cars to wide-door design for shipments of Oregon plywood. The new 10-foot doors on these 40-foot-long cars permit fast mechanical loading and unloading. Diagonal door striie codes cars for immediate return to Oregon. . 3. Another 500 double-door box cars, added to s.p.'s wid e-rioor fleet in 1962, and now assigned to Oregon service for hauling plywood and packaged lumber. Like the newly converted wide-door box cars, these 50-foot-long, "yellow door" cars say, "Send me back to Oregon." 4. 1,300 new "king-sized" Hydra-Cushion box cars being delivered to S.P. this summer and fall, are well suited for carrying paper, canned goods, and other Oregon products needing extra protection. These new 60-foot cars can carry twenty percent more freight than 50-foot box cars. 5. New "floating-load" tie-dOWn technique can speed loading and reduce shipping costs for other forest products besides finished lumber. Here, twenty huge rolls of paperboard ride secure and protected on one of S.P.'s new 63-foot, Oregon-built flat cars. These latest additions to the Southern Pacific freight fleet arc part of S.P.'s expanded, multi-million dollar program to provide Oregon industries with the special equipment they need to move Oregon products to market. Moreover, the stepped-up order for flat cars represents a significant contri bution to Oregon's economy, both in dollar volume and in use of Oregon materials and manpower. Overall, these new S.P. equipment purchases boost Southern Pacific's expenditures above $187 million for more than 19,000 new freight cars in the past six years. mm & sssem mil 1 J 6:441.
