SANCTIONS ON S.A.

13 States In Agreement ADDIS ABABA (Abyssinia), June 22. The 13th African States meeting in Addis Ababa are expected to reach agreement today on the detailed form of sanctions against South Africa, whose racial discrimination has been condemned by every speaker at this conference. Recommendations for Government action are due for final drafting and acceptance today, after which the conference is expected to vote them into active implementation at a final plenary session in public later this week. The States represented are believed to have agreed on a boycott of goods into and out of the Union and on United Nations action and resolutions to the political committee dealing with South Africa

The Tanganyikan Chief Minister, Dr. Julius Nyerere, who presented a plan to the conference for an East African federation of Kenya, Nyasaland, Tanganyika, Uganda and Zanzibar, is due to leave by air today to canvass support for his project in Uganda and Kenya. In Uganda and elsewhere there has been less enthusiasm for the plan than Dr. Nyerere had expected Uganda delegates believed an independent Tanganyika could do more to accelerate independence in other East African States than if it postponed its own political freedom for the sake of simultaneous freedom and unity of all.
