Portugal Firm On Angola
By Phil Newsom
UPI Foreign News Analyst
Portugal has told the United Nations pointedly to mind its own business so far as Portugal's rich African territories are concerned.
The Portuguese position was reminiscent of that taken by President Charles de Gaulle when he warned the U.N. to keep its nose out of French Algerian affairs. The difference is that De Gaulle currently is negotiating for Algerian independence while such a thought does not even cross Portuguese minds as regards Angola.
Specifically, the question concerned the Portuguese West African territory of Angola, an immense area of nearly half a million square miles with a coastline stretching 1000 miles southward from the mouth of the Congo.
A PORTUGUESE official stated it succinctly in Lisbon recently.
succinctly in Lisbon recently. A visiting newsman remarked to him: "Well, at least Portugal can say it was the first into Africa and the last one out."
The official replied: "You can say more than that. You can say Portugal was first in Africa and never got out."
Portugal has ruled Angola for 500 years and considers it a "non-self-governing" territory which is part of metropolitan Portugal.
It is one of the richest of all African territories, producing diamonds, a large range of agricultural products including coffee and tobacco, and possessing important minerals such as gold, oil manganese, copper and iron.
Portuguese anger over possible U. N. interference in Angola arose from a resolution submitted to the Security Council by Liberia, Ceylon and the United Arab Republic.
The resolution, with the enthusiastic endorsement of black Africans, demanded Portuguese reforms to safeguard the rights of the inhabitants of Angola, where a native population of nearly four and a

AFRICANS CHARGE that the situation in Angola threatens another "Congo," and they cite recent riots in which 41 persons died in the capital city of Luanda as proof that Portugal uses police force to keep the territory under the colonial yoke.
The Portuguese counter-charge that the riots and attacks on Portuguese "colonialism" are Communist-inspired.
As with past efforts to inject the United Nations into the Algerian question, the present attack on Portuguese policies in Angola posed a delicate problem for the United States. It could not support colonialism, and yet Portugal is a NATO ally supplying the United States with an important base in the Azores.

LISBON, Portugal — (UPI) Violence was reported spreading today from the Congo into neighboring Angola. The News Agency Lusiania said that armed bands of Congolese are terrorizing white and black settlers in the Portuguese territory.
Congo Violence Spills To Portuguese Angola
The agency said most of the attacks have been carried out against isolated plantations or small communities. It said an undetermined number of persons have been killed and a number of houses burned.
It added that troops and police reinforcements have the "situation well in hand."
The Portuguese government refused to comment. A spokesman for the National Information Ministry said "we have no information to communicate." But he hinted at a possible statement later.

WASHINGTON — (UPI) — 'The Senate last night passed President Kennedy's No. 1 anti-recession program to pay jobless workers $1 billion in extra unemployment benefits.
Senate Passes Jobless Bill
The bill was approved by an 84-4 roll call vote shortly before midnight. Only two Democrats and two Republicans voted against it. The measure now goes to a Senate-House conference committee to work out a compromise with a similar House-passed bill.
Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield told the Senate after it cleared the unemployment pay bill that he hoped to call up early next week a companion measure which would provide up to $305 million in aid to children of jobless parents.
Just before Senate passage, the lawmakers added two provisions
--that threatened Kennedy's hopes of paying out the first additional benefits by April 1.
Voting against the bill were GOP Sens. Francis Case of South Dakota and Carl T. Curtis of Nebraska and Democratic Sens. Harry F. Byrd of Virginia and Strom Thurmond of South Carolina.
