...Kamuzu Banda (he no longer calls himself Hastings-too British), an urbane onetime London general practitioner, Nyasaland is expected to quit within a year. Northern Rhodesia, whose first black government took over a fortnight ago and likes the idea of keeping the $320 million-a-year copper-mining industry all to itself, would like to follow suit.

With a white government in Southern Rhodesia ranged against him, too, Welensky's long fight to hold the federation together seems doomed. "Welensky.'' said one Rhodesian Front leader...
...Soviet-built refinery at Sain Shanda. At the town of Sukhe Bator is a paper mill and a factory that turns out prefabricated houses. The Russian metallurgical plant at Darkhan produces 300,000 tons of steel per year. Soviet geologists claim to have discovered important deposits of coal, copper, manganese fluoride, tin, zinc and wolfram...
