Katanga Trade Boycott Plan Dropped by U.N. Chief
U Thant abandons a proposed U N trade boycott against Katanga after U S Under Secretary George C McGhee arranged for Union Miniere to divert part of its 40 million dollar annual copper and cobalt revenues to Congo's central government in Leopoldville.
