...Century Fox, Universal Container, Ozark Airlines, Midas International and other major companies. In many instances, the attackers are not professional raiders but insiders-men who sold their firms for stock in big companies during the heady 1960s, then watched in dismay as the shares crumbled last year. Perhaps the fiercest fight pits the management of GAF Corp., which makes chemical and photo products, against Former Director Seymour Milstein, his family and friends. Milstein is upset by what he calls poor performance by the men who bought out his Ruberoid Co. in 1967. GAF Chairman Jesse Werner contends that the company...

"This is no way to make a contribution to the solution of the problem of racialism," said Helen Suzman, the South African Parliament's fiercest foe of apartheid. Methodist Leader Tom Parker despaired of support for such action by followers of "a Saviour who spilt no drop of blood but his own." W.C.C. member churches in South Africa all opposed the grants but decided not to quit the council. Prime Minister B.J. Vorster then warned darkly of "government action" if they did not.
