COPE support for a candidate is decided in each case by its autonomous state committees which this year seem to be endorsing before the primaries. They have already endorsed California's Governor Pat Brown and Houston Oil man Donald Woods, a liberal who is challenging Texas' conservative Governor John Connally. COPE's choice is in some cases apt to be dictated by old loyalties rather than performance or promise. A case in point is Michigan, where COPE almost certainly will throw its weight behind former Governor G. Mennen Williams in his contest with Detroit's dynamic...
...hottest cargo that any ship can carry these days is oil bound for Rhodesia. Two tankers that tried to make that run became lost last week on the chartless sea of international diplomacy. Under the shadow of a United Nations resolution permitting the British to use "force" to preserve their oil embargo of Rhodesia (TIME, April 15), the Ioanna V finally docked in the Portuguese port of Beira, terminus of an oil pipeline to Rhodesia. There, separated from the end of the pipeline by only 30 ft., it waited. Several hundred miles to the south its sister ship Manuela...
...wily South African entrepreneur named Rudolf Raphaely, who was attempting to run 400,000 tons of crude oil from the Persian Gulf to Rhodesia's main oil terminal-the Portuguese Mozambique port of Beira, which is connected with landlocked Rhodesia by a 187-mile pipeline. For weeks British warships had discouraged tankers from putting into Beira. Undaunted, one of Raphaely's ships, flying a Greek flag, quietly loaded 18,000 tons of crude in the Iranian port of Bandar Mashur and steamed around the northern coast of Africa to Dakar, where it changed its name to Ioanna...

Security Council and began drafting a resolution that-if approved-would give U.N. sanction to the use of British force in stopping Rhodesia-bound oil...
...wasn't always that way. In his younger days, Hughes actually seemed to seek publicity. The handsome heir to an oil-drilling-equipment fortune, he bought his way into the movie industry, produced Hell's Angels and Scarface, discovered Jean Harlow, personally designed the brassiere that made Jane Russell famous. He was a friend to Lana Turner, Ava Gardner, Katharine Hepburn. Then he steadily became more of a loner. He secretly married green-eyed Actress Jean Peters in 1957. Now they live in a French Regency chateau in Bel Air, surrounded by high walls, bodyguards and rumors...
