Britain has food enough to last about eight weeks, and foreign ships could easily keep the supply above the danger level. The trouble is that the idled British ships so jam Britain's ports that soon foreign vessels may be unable to find room to unload. So Wilson is considering calling on Royal Navy crews to board the freighters and move them away from docks. But the dockers and railworkers have warned that if he brings the navy into the strike, they, too, may walk off their jobs...
...sight of the road. But it seems safe to conclude that it is one continuous trail capable of carrying trucks from Cambodia through Laos into Viet Nam. We flew eastward, diving to less than 1,000 ft. for as close a look as we could get. We decided to unload our ordnance-two napalm canisters, 24 rockets and 700 rounds of .50-cal. machine-gun ammunition per plane-in a heavily forested area about four kilometers north of the Cambodian border. One after another, our planes dived in, hoping to hit hidden trucks under the foliage...

Later, the Beira port captain placed the tanker and its 18,000 tons of oil under Portuguese control, which could mean that either Portugal was honoring the embargo by impounding the ship or simply making it easier to unload the oil. Whichever the case, the British intend to see to it that the Ioanna V is the last ship to go into Beira with oil for Rhodesia...
...down by the Association of American Railroads' imprimatur. Indeed, a bill giving the ICC greater rate-setting leeway last year passed the Senate, now is stalled in the House. Still undaunted, the ICC ordered that all railroads receiving boxcars from the Great Northern or the Northern Pacific promptly unload them and return them to their corporate owners within 24 hours. If the receiving rail lines ignore this order, the ICC will probably have to go into the courts...
