Moss today voted for the amendment restricting the testing and transportation of Chemical and Biological Weapons saying that "it was basical- ly in accord with my own position." In a Senate debate today. Sena- tor Moss said, Too much of the public discussion about Chemical and Biological Weapons has become emotional and speculative primarily because of the Army's obsession with secrecy. Rightly or wrongly, and I think rightly, the governments crediChemical bility concerning and Biological Weapons, is highly suspect. Even after the Dugway incident it was some time before the Army would admit that they were testing nerve gas agents, let along responsible for the death of the sheep 'To give the American people good reason to believe that the Government tells them and to provide the public with much needed information, I suggest When the Organization of African Unity celebrated its sixth anniversary on May 25, President Richard Nixon emphasized U.S. interest in the organization by attending an African anniversary celebration held at an embassy in Washington, D.C "While I do not know Africa as well as' I would like to," Mr. Nixon said, "I have had the privilege of visiting more African countries than any man who has ever been President of the United States. "What we all are privileged today to commemorate is the fact that people so diverse, so different, over this great African continent with 300 million people and all the potential for the future, are working in their the different way toward the same goal which destruction avoid that will which unity comes from war, but also the diversity which will allow for die creative freedom which we all know leads to progress and prosperity." NoAHMflibar National or tetania! capital African Group Marks Sixth Year of Diplomatic Accord - The Organization of African Unity was founded six years ago at a meeting of African states held at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Initially, the representatives of 30 independent nations signed the OAU Charter. Today there are 41 members all the independent African nations except the Republic of South Africa. OAU principles, as expressed in the Organization's Charter, reconcerns for African unity and the flect the historical political independence, economic advancement, and cultural cooperation of all African peoples. in members' internal The Charter also stipulates affairs, respect for mutual sovereignty and territorial integrity, assassipeaceful settlement of disputes, condemnation of political nation or subversive activity against neighltoring states, lilseration with of the remaining dependent areas in Africa, and blocs. to great-powrespect Enforcing Decisions The OAU, unlike the United Nations, has no provision for sanctions to enforce its decisions. It depends upon persuasion rather than resolutions punishment to bring recalcitrant members to accept the or the Government and State of of Heads the Assembly passed by Council of Ministers. In essence, therefore, the OAU seeks unity and cooperation through consensus. Nonintervention and territorial integrity are principles which have become more entrenched with the passage of time. Africa's illogical and arbitrary boundaries, which have split tribal groups between or among neighboring countries, have caused many disputes. National stability is weakened by local loyalties which often out- weigh a sense of national identity. The OAU has consistently opposed interference in a member's internal affairs. Its advocacy of the territorial integrity of indepen- dent states was evident in its consideration of the Congo, of the several disputes involving Ghana, and, most recently, in the case of the Nigerian civil war when the Heads of State voted at both the 1967 and 1968 summit conferences that a solution should be found within the framework of a unitary Nigeria.

This theme, year's To- day's Army Symbolized in Sculp- ture'', encourages participants to create sculptures which depict Army life, tradition and missions - and have special sig- nificance for the artist's home- installation. The Department of the Army will conduct Army - wide com- petition to select the three most outstanding sculpture designs submitted. Evaluation criteria to be used by a panel of sculp- tors and craftsmen are: signifi- cance, impact, suitability, ori- - ginality and craftsmanship. To help defray construction costs of the three best works, cash awards will be made to the con tributing installations. Installations should submit design presentations through major Army area commands to: The Adjutant Ceneral, ATTN: AGMS-C- , Department of the Army, Washington, D.C. 20315.

' The OAU's goals of a united, peaceful, and developing Africa are very much in the interests of the United States and the world community. It is clearly in the U.S. interest that Africans should develop the institutions to solve their own problems particularly in the area of peacekeeping. It is also in our interest that Africa develop regional economic institutions so that the external assistance so urgently needed from both private and governmental sources can be used most efficiently. 1 OUR OK USED CARS KNOW THEY'RE GOOD ACS Helps Army Families; fu u to tune color TV.
