UN prepares tough global arms embargo against South Africa
The United Nations Security Council is slated to approve a Norwegian backed resolution demanding a worldwide arms embargo on South Africa to pressure an end to apartheid. The plan seeks to halt sales and shipments for arms manufacture and maintenance in South Africa and has partial backing from the African bloc amid behind the scenes bargaining. The Soviet Union says it does not go far enough but will support, while the African bloc worries a total boycott could invite a Western veto. In Washington, Arthur Schlesinger Jr. will remain on the White House staff, and Capt Michael D Groves who led the funeral guard for President Kennedy died suddenly Tuesdaynight.
