...gained independence under a black government, and Northern Rhodesia will have the same status next month. Southern Rhodesia, still a British self-governing colony, also wants independence, but Britain refuses to grant it, except under a new constitution that will give the now suppressed black majority a larger share in the government. Southern Rhodesia's white-supremacist Prime Minister Ian Smith rejects the idea and threatens to declare independence from Britain unilaterally, a move his critics refer to as "white uhuru...
Welensky, who will himself run in Salisbury against a candidate hand picked by Smith, was once a symbol of white supremacy in Africa.

Unlike the auto industry, which supports only four major makers, the steel industry has more than 200 producers. Their share of total production may be modest, but they are profiting by the current boom in steel and playing an important role in the economy by selling uncommon types of steel with uncommon zeal...
