Kennedy in Chile and to State Secretary Dean Rusk in Uruguay. About 100 pro-Communist stu- dents spat on Kennedy at the University of Concepcion, threw eggs, rocks and money at him and drowned him out when he tried to speak to a_ student crowd of several thousand, It was the only unpleasant note to an otherwise enthusias- tic reception in an area where Chilean Communists and Marx- ist Socialists have their great- est strength. The eggs and stones missed the New York senator, but spittle fell on his forehead afd clothes. Rusk was the target of a 25- Pro-Red Students Boo 'Bob Kennedy year-old man who slipped up... and spat at him in Montevideo, Uruguay, just after the sec- retary had placed a wreath at the monument to Gen, Jose Artigas, Uruguay's national hero. The state department press officer, accompanying Rusk, Richard Phillips, said the secretary was not hit. The man shouted "this is in the name of my people" as he spat. Police seized him and took him away. In his pockets were leaflets whth the words "fuera Rusk (Rusk get out)."

The orders were signed by the Queen within 11 hours of the passage of the Southern Rhodesia Act, which empowers government ministers, subject to endorsement by Parliament, to take any measures deemed necessary to counter the unilat- eral declaration of independ- ence by the white-minority gov- ernment of Rhodesia. Any of the orders can be con- tested by Parliament within the next 28 parliamentary sitting days, and if they are not ap- proved by both houses, they will automatically lapse. At present, however, tie government seems assured of endorsement. One order, preventing alleged fugitive offenders from being returned to Rhodesia unless their return is considered expe- dient by the British home sec- retary, comes into effect today. Another order that takes ef- fect today makes illegal any orders issued by Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith and his regime since Thursday, when the colony declared its in-| dependence from Britain. Smith Cuts Off Phone To Governor's Mansion SALISBURY (Reuters) -- Prime Minister Ian Smith of Rhodesia announced today the telephone service at Govern- ment House -- the governor's official residence -- had been suspended He told a press conference he was disappointed at the attitude adopted by Sir Humphrey Gibbs, who he described as the former governor of Rhodesia. Smith claimed that he had evidence that Rhodesians are more united now than ever be- fore and he called the gover- nor's position precarious. Tuesday 4,000 Negro postal workers balked at signing a pledge of loyalty to the Smith government within two weeks or lose their jobs.

This would enable Rhodesia to have a legally con- stituted government in British eyes and would forestall crea- tion of a rebel government or government-in-exile. Two other orders suspend a Sugar agreement with the ter- ritory and remove Rhodesia from the Commonwealth trad- ing preference area. Another order will make it easier for loyal Rhodesian citi- zens to be granted citizenship of the United Kingdom and col- onies. A sixth order makes Rho- desians holding United King- dom passports subject to im- migration control while the last order enables immigration au- thorities to confiscate passports issued by the breakaway Rho- desian regime. As the Labor government pre- pared to enforce the orders, a leading member of the Conserv- ative opposition warned against trying to kill. the power of the Smith government with eco- nomic sanctions.
