UNITED NATION, N. Y. <A>) —
Saudi Arabia today demanded .ex
pulsion of South Africa from the
United Nations because it has i’e-

Policy.
Ahmad Shukairy, Saudi Arabian
Minister of state and delegation
c toef, specifically asked the Unit-

action.
Speaking in the assembly’s spe

said “the case for expulsion is
ripe enough and I move this hon
orable committee, with the United
States included, to adopt a resolu
tion for the expulsion of South Af

DALLAS — The nation’s inde

dent Kennedy Monday to take
early and decisive action to
strengthen the oil imports control
program.
The executive committee of the
Independent Petroleum Associa

a telegram saying such action is
essential to assure maximum ca

The telegram signed by 71 in

Meanwhile, Cox told more than
400 San Angelo voters that his
election would mean faster indus
trialization of the state, increased
tourism and no tax increases.
Cox said that if he is elected,
he will ask for legislation, that
will insure a secret ballot in Texas
and which would provide stiff pen
alties for vote fraud.
CONNALLY, speaking at a $10-
a-plate party luncheon, said that
Cox, who has been critical of Con

Stephens County delegation in 1960
pledged to support Johnson for
president.
Connally said GOP charges of
Washington ties and the Billie Sol
Estes case were “bogus issues.”
He said the “phony issues” were
“calculated to appeal to people’s
prejudices and hatred.”
“There’s no question but what
I’m friendly with the President

“I was friendly with President Ei
