Tribune November 4, 1977 Friday Unanimous decision slaps embargo on South Africa UNITED NATIONS, N.Y, (AP) The U.N.- Security Council today unanimously slapped a mandatory, and permanent arms embargo against South Africa, declaring that Pretoria's acquisition of weapons is a threat to international peace and security. The sanctions were adopted by a show-of-hands vote, ending a two-. week debate on how to respond to the white-ruled nation's recent crackdown on black activists.

But Rhodesia is not U.N. member. The resolution ordered all nations to "cease fortwith" any provision to South Africa of arms and related materiel of all types, including the sale or transfer of weapons and ammunition, military vehicles and equipment, paramilitary police equipment and spare parts.

growers it will bolster a sagging market, Sullivan said, explaining that a huge glut of wheat now causing storage problems in the Nebraska is holding the market price of the commodity down. Sullivan said there currently remains 1.6 billion bushels of 1976 wheat, plus estimated production of 2 billion bushels this year. "The present market level of wheat makes it a real bargain," Sullivan said, "not only for the Russians but for the entire world market.
