...nation of Malawi (formerly Nyasaland) jutting like an assegai into its heart, Mozambique is in a precarious position. Larger in area than Texas, the torrid, subequatorial nation is run by 163,000 whites and Asians who are outnumbered 40 to 1 by blacks. Yet Portugal's Dictator Antonio Salazar, who sits in a Lisbon palace 5,000 miles away, insists that Mozambique is not a colony but, like Angola, an integral part of metropolitan Portugal...
...Bullet for the President. Salazar himself has never visited Mozambique -a fact that most white Mozambicanos resent. But last week his puppet President, Rear Admiral Americo Deus Rodrigues Tomas, concluded a two-week swing through the country in an effort to prove that Lisbon really cares. From the Indian Ocean port of Lourenço Marques (where he reviewed 5,000 troops and 200 Alsatian, Doberman, boxer and Labrador guard dogs) to the villages of the Limpopo River Valley, the sprightly, 69-year-old President met with rousing receptions and blizzards of confetti.

As for the U.N., which two weeks earlier called anew for curtailment of arms to Portugal, he saw the "massive entry" of Afro-Asian states as having distorted the world organization into a threat to peace. And in a bitter...
...Salazar's old Iberian neighbor and amigo, Spain's Francisco Franco, was bending slightly more with the winds, announced plans to grant a measure of autonomy to Spanish Guinea, which is made up of the "provinces" of Rio Muni, a Maryland-sized West African enclave lying between Gabon and Cameroon, and the adjacent islands of Fernando Po and Annobón. The colony's 225,000 Africans, who harvest its coffee, cocoa beans and timber, and 5,000 Europeans will be encouraged to elect a rubber-stamp Parliament loyal to El Caudillo...
