o MEOFORO MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDVORD. OREGON THURSDAY. OCTOIIK Communist Nations Increasing Trade With South Africa Despite Troubles Bv NEIL J. SMITH JOHANNESBURG, South Af rica (UPI) Despite the wide ly proclaimed bovcott against South Africa, the Afro-Asian and Communist nations are doing more trade with this country than ever before. South Africa is building up profitable two-way trade with countries including Red China which are among its greatest international enemies. Nations of the Afro-Aian and Communist blocs bought more than $19.6 million worth of South African goods in the first four months of 1963. according to figures released here. In return South Africa bought from them ' more than $35 million worth of goods, ranging from heavy ma chinery to glassware and from tea and coffee to lace. The hostile nations all sub scribe publicly to the internation al movement to boycott South Africa economically, expel it from world bodies and close their skies to South African planes because of the govern ment's apartheid policy of ra cial separation. , Imports Increase , Yet their imports from South ( Africa increased by $4.48 mil lion or 16 per cent, in the first third of 1963. Their export to j South Africa dropped slightly, ' but only because Pakistani- South African trade fell by more than half. For the rest of the hostile bloc sales to South Africa business. Peking bought nothing ! surge of Red Chinese-South Af I rican trade has come at a time ! when Russia has broken off I trade relations with this Repub- lie. Two way trade between South Africa and the U.S.S.R. 1 totalled $14 million in I960. It was zero in 1962. Other Communist states also are increasing trade ties with South Africa. Polish imports ! from South Africa increased 17 ' per cent to $1.24 million during the January-April. 196.1. period while Czech imports increased more than 60 per cent to 5:13, '600. At the same time Czech exports to South Africa rose by I some 30 per cent to more than $1.4 million. General! speaking South Afri ca's exports to other African states have dropped and today only two black-ruled territories ; The Congo and Kenya buy i significant quantities of South ' African products. But South Af rica, at least for the present, is still increasing its purchases 1 from various black states. Significant Increases In the first four months of 13 imports from The Congo : ($9.45 million), Tanganyika i$2. j 24 million) and Kenya ($1.4 mil lion) all registered significant ; increases. The major reason for this is I simply that it pays South Africa to buy badly-needed raw ma terials in nearby African states i rather than in distant untapped markets. The government's pol- icy has always been to encour age merchants to buy in the best available markets, and to main ! tain a scrupulously correct atti- tude toward its trading part I ners. regardless of their politi cal attitudes toward South Afri ca If the "hostile" bloc were to cut all trade ties with the re- public, it would cost the country more to buy these imports else- ' where. But the net result likely I would stimulate South African ' production. trom South Africa during 1962, but in the first four months of 1963 purchased $3.88 million worth of South African food stuffs, and the tempo of trade is increasing. Hong Kong, where South Afri ca will shortly establish a trade commissioner's office, bought another $3.25 million worth of goods, much undoubtedly destin ed for the Chinese mainiand. China Imports L'p At the same time South Afri can imports from Communist China increased from $266,000 in 1962 to $1.48 million in the first third of this year. It is significant that this up- DRINKING A FACTOR WASHINGTON (UPI) - A White House study committee said Wednesday there was evi dence that drinking was a fac tor in up to half of the nation's 40.000 annual traffic fatalities.

The strangest of South Afri ca's new trading partners is Communist China, which ! preaches against whites to the newly independent black states. , Within South Africa it is report ed to finance the Yui Chiu Chan j Secret Society for the dual pur j pose of subverting the white re gime and weaning non - white 1 South African leftists from the Moscow line of peaceful coexist ence with the West.

Adams, a bank teller, made one mistake in his switching scheme which netted him more than 52,000 in the last 15 months. Adams, 29, switched pennies for dimes and nickels for quar ters in money bags kept in the vault of a branch of the Na tional Bank of Detroit. He told Federal Bureau of Investigation agents that he had been pulling his switching act since August, 1962 and his mis take was made when he forgot which bags he was switching. His mistake was compounded when he handed another teller a bag which was supposed to contain $500 in dimes but which had only 545 in pennies. Adams said he kept the weights of the bags within four pounds of their true weights in case bank examiners became suspicious. Adams pleaded guilty Wednesday to the charge of em bezzlement before federal Judge Wade H. McCree, Jr. He was released on 51.000 personal bond for a report from the pro bation department. If found guilty, Adams could receive five years in prison and a 55,000 fine.
