The UN General Assembly's main political committee passed by a 105-to-0 vote, with : countries abstaining, a resolution calling on "all states to respect the continent of Africa as a nuclear-free zone." Canada, whose preoccupation at the UN is mainly with dis- armament and peacekeeping, gave her support to the resolu- tion along with the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, France continued to abstain from voting on resolutions deal- ing with disarmament, and was joined Wednesday by South Africa and Portugal. Both South Africa and Portu-| gal said they favored the prin- cipal objective of the resolution but could not support it because it called on the Organization. of African Unity to take the initi- ative in carrying out the resolu- tion. The OAU has been hostile to South Africa for her racial pol-) the world to be assured of nu- lclear-free status, ~ "The passing of the proposal, sponsored by 28 Afro-Asian_ na- tions, came three days after the |117 - nation General Assembly jadopted a resolution setting the wheels in motion for the con- vening of a world disarmanent conference.

Ambassador Arthur Goldberg, who supported the resolution on the world confer- ence with reservations, told a press conference Wednesday he hopes progress toward "sen- sible disarmament" can be achieved with or without the participation of Communist China. "We have made great steps lin this area (disarmament) in the past without their participa- tion -- in the partial nuclear test-ban treaty -- and I would hope that we would *ontinue to make: constructive stéps in the field of disarmament," said Goldberg.

Despite Buildup, Viet Still A Standoff By PETER ARNETT SAIGON (AP) -- Despite the huge American buildup, allied forces in South Viet Nam re- main insufficient to carry the fight to the Viet Cong guerrillas effectively. An important reason: Most! U.S. and South Vietnamese) troops are pinned down by se- curity jobs--including keeping what they hold--so that surpris- ingly few battalions are avail- able for searching out the Viet Cong. An influx of troops from North Viet Nam has in effect returned the situation to where it was of new U.S. forces tipped the balance temporarily in the al- lies' favor. The Communists in recent weeks have shown themselves willing to sacrifice hundreds of troops. Man for man, they are as well-equipped: as the U.S. in- fantryman and have as much, if not more, firepower. Seldom mentioned any more in Saigon is the theory that a U.S. pla- toon, because of its firepower, could easily wipe out a Viet The allied buildup thus far| seems at the most to have had the effect of containing the Communists. Open _ invasion across the border by North Vietnamese troops has drastic-) ally changed the picture. New U.S. forces had been brought in early this year to forestall a dangerous Viet Cong buildup. Communist ranks were swollen by southerners who had gone north in 1954 when the country was partitioned, and who returned as indoctinated "liberators."" buildup, North Viet Nam has sent in its 325th Division, mainly tro¥ps born and bred in North Viet Nam, and set the situation back, from the allied: viewpoint. | In view of this, there seems little doubt that U.S. Defence Secretary McNamara will rec- ommend a large increase in American troops in his report to President Johnson following his visit to Viet Nam early this week.
