The missions were due to ar- rive from London where they had talks with the British gov- ernment. Foreign Minister Simon Kap- wepwe, leading the mission to the United States, said he would confer with United Nations Sec- retary - General U Thant and President Johnson.

Duty Halted On Car-Parts WASHINGTON (AP) -- The United States has stopped col- lecting provisional deposits of duty on automobile components from Canada, a customs bureau official said Tuesday. The official said the change went into effect Monday--the date specified by the U.S.-Cana- dian tariff agreement. The deposits have been col- lected since Jan. 19. They will be returned to the payer as soon as the bureau determines that the parts are a type that is duty free. The agreement covers parts which will be used to manufac- ture new automobiles. The U.S. and Canada agreed to eliminate the tariffs at the manufacturers' level to make the automotive industry's pro duction more efficient.
