But angry African countries countered with a de- Imand that the council invoke a full array of penalties, including use of military force. In Salisbury, white senior civil servants and army officers with close ties to Britain were report- ed in dissent Saturday against Prime Minister Ian Smith's dec- laration of independence from Britain. Gloom fell over business circles in Salisbury. Smith, however, appeared con- fident and firmly in control. He went to the countr yfor the week- end while the nation awaited pos- sible new retaliatory measures from the United Nations and per- haps Britain. British Foreign Secretary Mi- chael Stewart defended his gov- ernment's decision against using force to compel Rhodesia's 225,- 000 whites to accept a constitu- tion for majority rule by its 4 million blacks. Stewart Calls for Boycott But he called on the council to support a tobacco and sugar boy- cott and other economic meas- ures takenobyBritain to compel Prime Minister Ian Smith's breakaway regime to return in al- legiance to the Crown so that majority rule could be promoted there. He introduced a resolution that would have the council ask all countries to refrain from any ac- tion which could give aid and comfort to "the illegal and un- constitutional regime in Southern Rhodesia" and "in particular to refrain from supplying arms, equipment and war material to it.,' The resolution would demand that all countries extend every necessary assistance and support to Britain in making effective the measures taken by its government, including the economic and fi- nancial measures, to bhing the rebellion to an end. Ambassador Arsene Assouan Usher of the Ivory Coast said an economic boycott against Rho- desia would need two years to take effect. He told the council: "We do not say that force must be used to establish a con- stitution. We say that force should be used if necessary in order to put down a rebellion. African Role Cited "The threat to peace is cer- tain. Great Britain must crush the rebellion. The African countries can serve as a starting point to occupy the strategic points in Rhodesia," he said. Bitterness among Rhodesian senior civil servants, some mili- tary officers and businessmen was the first sign of opposition among Rhodesian whites to Smith's ac- (Continued from Page 1) termed "eextremely worthwhile." "Generally we must be interest- ed not only in the body count of Viet Cong but in the rehabilita- tion of a lot of people we are capturing," he emphasized. Kennedy added that the current loose structure of civic-action and medical-aid programs in South Viet Nam-Marines, Army, Navy, Agency for International Develop- ment, Project Medical Ship HOPE and private groups are taking part -"should be covered and coor- dinated by USOM (the U.S. Of- ficial Mission in the country) ." Hopeful for Future He indicated some concern that, at present, "troops are going on patrol for ten days and then take two days on civic-action pro- grams," but added that he was "not so critical of the past as I am hopeful for the future." Kennedy toured South Viet Nam with a group of colleagues in Oc- tober and November. He is chair- man of a special subcommittee dealing with the problems of South Vietnamese refugees, who number approximately 600,000 of the country's population of about 15 million. Kennedy said that successes un- der the Choi Hoi, or "Open Arms" program, devoted.towards winning back Viet Cong and their sym- phathizers, had "increased dra- matically." Popular Support Increases He added that significantly more Vietnamese peasants have been paying taxes to their local gov- ernments rather than to the Viet Cong and are also giving govern- ment forces more intelligence as- sistance. But, Kennedy cautioned, while progress has been marked, there is "a long way to go there in many f ields." "It isn't just the immediate: problem of South Viet Nam which we must face," the Massachusetts I senator declared. "It is parochial to think of that country as the only one affected by the war," he added. He said that the strong U.S. action in the war in Viet Nam has a significant effect "in a psychological sense" in many other Southeast Asian countries, and, he maintained, it has also "almost completely halt- ed Viet Minh infiltration into Laos." Neutralist Laotian premier Sou- vanna Phouma, in a speech at the University in late October, praised the United States for helping Laos resist a communist takeover and preserve its neutrality. Turning to civil rights, Kennedy, who is a member of the Senate- judiciary committee, which' con- siders all civil rights legislation, said it will be "difficult to iden- tify particular needs for new civil rights legislation until we can tell how the fundamental legisla- tion already in effect is working." He stressed that while a reform of the jury and trial system in the South and a "personal protection" law making violence against civil rights workers a federal crime were important, "I don't like to identify with one particular thing because I've seen so much happen which was totally unexpected." Kennedy explained that some Senate liberals in 1964 expected that the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which made a sixth grade educa- Downtown HONDA Soles-Service-Parts " STAn ST- z zs a th AVE. 40h AVE. MAIN ST tion sufficient proof of literacy, would be enough to solve the prob- lem of Negro disfranchisement. He added that other problems, such as public accommodations, housing, and voting rights should also be given careful consideration. Jury trial and personal safety laws are being stressed by some civil rights leaders such as the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Poll Tax Ban Sought "Given the tradition of the bar- riers against opportunity to vote," he said, "abolition of the poll tax seemed the next logical step to take" after the 1964 act to extend protection of the right to vote in the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Kennedy came within four votes in the Senate of putting a ban on state and local poll taxes into the 1965 'law despite administration opposition to the idea. Some liberals charged that ad- ministration leaders opposed the location Kitzbuhel, Austria Chamonix, France Cortina, lta~y language German French Italian Ski Spring Semester in Europe International Ski & Language Academy is now accepting enrollment for the 1966 and '67 Wintqr Semesters (Feb. 1-April 27). in the following schools: poll tax ban to avoid offending Senate Minority Leader Everett McKinley Dirksen (R-Ill), whose support of many administration policies, including Viet Nam, has proven valuable. Dirksen and At- torney-General Nicholas deB. Katzenbach both felt a statutory ban might be unconstitutional. Kennedy, however, said that there was a "legitimate difference of opinion about the constitution- ality of abolishing the poll tax by federal statute. I was suffi- ciently convinced that the evi- dence of- the past was sufficient to justify it, but others weren't." Although the Kennedy attempt at an outright ban on poll taxes failed, the close Senate vote prompted administration leaders to insert a "finding of Congress" clause saying that the taxes were unconstitutional and mandating the Attorney-General to bring suit to end them.

The exact numbers in the ad- ditional buildup have not yet been determined, but the sources said the added troops under a new presidential decision will total about 40,000 men. There now are some 160,000 U.S. servicemen in Viet Nam, with the bulk of them Army troops. Westmoreland 'Calls Tune' The sources said top U.S. offi- cials in Washington are now let- ting Gen.

Long (D-La) may face op- position to his announced inten- tion to hang on to three impor- tant Senate posts in the next ses- sion of Congress. Long has made it clear he wants to continue as assistant ma- jority leader and a member of the; Foreign Relations Committee while taking on the chairmanship of the Finance Committee. Thei~ latter post opened to him wi the resignation of Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va) because of ill health. Byrd's son, Harry F. Jr., was appointed Friday to fill his father's seat. Senate Democratic Leader Mike ! Mansfield of Montana declined comment on Long's statement that he wants to keep the assist- ant's post except to say "that's going to be up to the Democratic caucus to decide." Some senators, however, may doubt that Long will have enough time to devote to all three of his posts. Asked who might then become whip, Hayden said "I've heard in- directly that it might be Sen.
