Africans Accept Money To Offset High Oil Prices
African foreign ministers accepted a $200 million Arab offer to cushion higher oil costs, but nations like Kenya and Ethiopia argued it is insufficient and demanded at least $500 million. The money would be placed with the African Development Bank as loans, while OAU officials noted oil embargo effects on South Africa and urged action at the June conference.

Talks resume tainted by mistrust amid Saigon Viet Cong cautions
In Saigon the Viet Cong and South Vietnamese commanders warned against expecting quick gains as they resume talks on a cease-fire and locating missing U S servicemen. The VC stressed progress depends on the other side, while Saigon officials cautioned that days of meetings since 500 have yielded little. The Joint Military Commission and missing in action team have been suspended since May. The Paris political talks were also paused, and a radio distress phrase from sailors and airmen is quoted in French as me aid.
