Report in two sections.

Reel 1. Rhodesian reactions to Smith's closure of the border with Zambia. Guerrillas now conduct raids across the border against white settlers: a tobacco farmer whose wife was killed describes the incident and while emphasising his own readiness to fight calls for tougher government measures against the murderers. At present community fines are imposed and general arrests made, but whites fear that tribesmen are being won over to FROLEZI through intimidation or persuasion and are subject to malevolent influence of bribed witchdoctors. General opinion welcomes the closure, as an effective way of combating terrorists considered by many (including Smith) to be tools of "the Communists". Critics point out that it will damage trade relations with both South Africa and Zambia and deprive Rhodesian Railways of revenue. Smith replies that it does not matter for "these people (Zambia) have said they will only use the white south as long as it suits them. Every time we give they (the Communists) advance." Reel 2. The prospects for supersonic passenger transport following the decision by Pan American and TWA not to take up their options on Concorde. BAC chairman Sir George Edwards does not conceal his disappointment. Outline of the development of Concorde notes the enormous increase over estimated cost. Uneconomic cost per passenger mile in addition to excessive noise and American regret at having scrapped the SST project appear to be main factors in US airlines' decision. Soviet Union apparently has no such reservations about its Tu 144. Concorde's makers are convinced its ability to halve travel time will make it sell.
