The advisory panel led by Dr. Keith Ronald calls for phase out by 1974 and broader global measures.

Riots in Gwelo as Rhodesia reels from unrest and arrests
Rhodesia faces its worst riots in a decade with troops patrolling Gwelo suburbs after an African youth died from chest injuries during a run from police. Rioters and looters clashed in mass demonstrations, while police said several Africans were wounded. The unrest ties to nationalist pressure on Anglo-Rhodesian settlement terms. In West Coast ports, Pacific Maritime Association said members will refuse military cargo, affecting ship traffic and potentially spurring federal intervention. Over 40 arrests reported in Gwelo, and Garfield Todd and his daughter Judith were detained at their Shabani home. Todd, a former premier, has long opposed the settlement terms.
