This week Soviet shipping and trade enter what the Russians hope will be a new era. In the Iranian port of Naushahr, a 4,000-ton Soviet vessel will begin loading for a 4,300-mile voyage to Hamburg, Germany, over a new inland waterway that stretches from the Caspian Sea to the Baltic, ranks as one of the world's longest waterways. The route will cut the average shipping time from Iran to Germany from 50 to 25 days. It will slice 2,700 miles from the previous circuitous route, which took ships through the Atlantic, the Mediterranean...
That encounter may have indicated that Hanoi's Red rulers are worried that their hard-won light-industrial complex-located between Hanoi and the port city of Haiphong-might be the U.S.'s next target. Other U.S. strikes last week hit at half a dozen air-defense radar stations throughout North Viet Nam, blinding the electronic eyes that might later be used to direct Communist interceptors against attacking American forces.

Senanayake charged that the recently signed maritime pact with Peking would allow Red China to use the port of Trincomalee, thus making Ceylon a base for the Communist struggle to control India. Anti-Chinese feelings were so strong that a crowd mistakenly mauled two Japanese newsmen and stole their watches and cameras...
Minus Magic. From Bunia, Hoare led an armada of three outboard as sault boats up Lake Albert and took the port of Mahagi with hardly a shot fired. A land force moved more cautiously, with four Ferret armored scout cars spraying likely ambush spots along the road with machine-gun fire. Congolese planes, flown by anti-Castro Cuban pilots, had showered leaflets on rebel territory. Printed in Lingala, Swahili...
