DAR ES SALAAM, Tanganyika (M)-President Julius Nyerere of Tanganyika announced yesterday he has signed an agreement with President Abeid Karume of Zanzi- bar to merge the two former Brit- ish colonies as one sovereign na- tion. Such a political marriage might nip Communist influences that Western observers feared would infiltrate EastAfrica via Zanzi- bar, an island which has looked as if it 'ight go the way of Cuba since a revolt deposed its sultan Jan. 12. Informed sources in Dar Es Salaam hailed the presidential agreement as a triumph for the supporters of a nonalignment pol- icy. They said affairs of the merg- ed countries will be run from Dar Es Salaam, Tanganyika's capital..

The accusation was made in a speech by East German Polit- buro member Herman Matern. It spotlighted Soviet fears that the Red Chinese, trying to smash' out of their isolation, seek to set up what the Russians call an "in-{ termediate zone" in competition with both the USSR and the Unit- ed States. This "third world," the' Russians have been saying, would by Chinese calculation include West European nations. Abandonment Matern said the Chinese de- mand envisioned "complete aban- donment of East Germany as the western vanguard of the Com- munist system in Europe and a new edition of the German policy of the Beria. clique." Lavreny P. Beria, Stalin-era secret police chief who was exe- cuted nine months after Stalin's death, had been accused of plot- ting to liquidate the Communist regime in East Germany. "At the same time it was de- manded that we abandon our co- operation with COMECON (Mos- cow's Communist Council for Mu- tual Economic Assistance) and that we accept the adventurist, anti-Marxist conception of the 'Chinese party leaders.

World News Roundup By The Associated Press CAPE TOWN, South Africa - Premier Hendrik Verwoerd told parliament yesterday his all- white government was not pre- pared to negotiate or make con- cessions in its racial policies. "Why should we sacrifice our future as a white nation just to please world opinion?" he said. "We are an independent state and make our own decisions." SEOUL -- About 300 students from Seoul National University rallied yesterday, denouncing gov- ernment surveillance of their ac- tivities. The action came on the heels of a statement by government offi- cials saying President Chung Hee Park had ordered strict measures against student demonstrations and what he called irresponsible news reporting. This was an echo of Soviet com- plaints in the official Moscow press that the Chinese were re- garding West Germany, France, Italy, Britain and Japan as po- tential allies against the United States, on the grounds. that these countries should be regarded as "under the bondage of Ameri- can imperialism." As a lure to these countries, the Chinese are dangling prospects of West European competition for a developing market of three quar- ters of a billion Chinese. Even- tually, Moscow indicates, the Chinese want to draw other coun- tries into this "intermediate zone" to oppose both the Russians and the Americans. Intermediate Zone CI Mao Tse-Tung, leader of Chi- nese Communism and now the butt of Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's criticism, is report- ed already to have proposed such an "intermediatezone" to French politicians and even to have sug- gested setting up a formal central organization for it. Peking newspapers have been commenting hopefully that com- petition in "the imperialist camp" already i~s splitting the United States from its allies. The Rus- sians, however, protest that "im- perialists" should be opposed both in Western Europe and the United States, without distinction. The Chinese thrust-though it MOSCOW (,P)-In an effort to boost food production, Soviet Pre- mier Nikita S. Khrushchev has recommended bringing into the Soviet economy "all progressive things which have been done in capitalistic countries.. "There is nothing shameful in this," the Premier said. Khrushchev's remarks were con- tained in a report he made to the Central Committee of the Com- munist Party 10 days ago and pub- lished yesterday in the government newspaper Izvestia. The newspaper announced that after hearing Khrushchev, the Higgins Seeks Governorship; Hits Romney DETROIT (A')-George Higgins, former state senator announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor of Michi- gan yesterday with an angry blast at Gov. George Romney as a GOP imposter who has used the party to further his own ambitions. "The man who sits in the exe-- cutive office in Lansing and now calls himself a Republican is an imposter," Higgins said. He added at a news conference that Romney "used the Republi- can Party tot get himself elected to that office, and he has abused the Republican Party ever since." In making his announcement. Higgins became the first ofi cial candidate in the GOP primary. Romney has indicated he will seek reelection. committee ordered party and gov- ernment organizations to under- take "a thorough study of the pos- sibilities offered by every farm and every production area." Khrushchev said Soviet agri- culture, especially production of meat and milk, "is seriously lag- ging." He lashed out at bureaucratic interference in affairs of farmers and charged that heads of collec- tive and state farms often know little about farming. He again said farm workers must be given an incentive to produce. "We must find a method of pay- ing for labor which would en- courage growth of production," he said. U.S. Imperialism appears a long-range plan- rep- "The Chinese leaders, according resents a serious threat to the to their thesis that the chief Soviet Union's position with re- enemy of the Communist camp is gard to Europe and a potent United States imperialism, are Chinese gambit in its attempt to even ready to cooperate with class influence-and perhaps eventually enemies," Matern said. dominate-a "third world." . . IS Meat and milk production the first quarter of this year fell be- low that of the same period last year. As usual, the output could not satisfy population needs. The grain shortage, which resulted in widespread slaughter of farm animals last fall, is partially re- sponsible. Khrushchev mentioned the pos- sibility of buying more American equipment for large-scale produc-- tion of broilers and laying hens. He said Hungary has purchased West German poultry equipment and "we should carefully examine and compare" this with American equipment. He expressed belief that U. S. equipment is more pro- ductive. ..:r::x:,.:.. ::."r: .:: .. .:. ........ ... . . .. . . . . . . . . ... .......,. **'. . . . ...,.*.o,..........*...,........... .............., ..... .. ... ..... .r...: ... .. .. . ...r . . n ... . .f .. . . ..* ........... ....... .. ... .. >:> .":r":"=... . . . .
