(Reuters) - Portu-1 guese Premier Antonio Salazar shuffled his cabinet Thursday making himself defence minister, amid new reports of anti- Portuguese .violence in Angola. Involved in the shakeup are the defence, army and overseas ministers and ftie .undersecretaries of the army and overseas administration. Salazar made a brief radio address Thursday night in which he said he was taking ovcr the defence portfolio because of thc Angolan situation. Portugal has been anxious! over its West African- colony since the middle of March and the first reports of troubles between white settlers and Afrl-i Reports reached here .Thursday from northern Angola of the biggest African uprising to date. About 20 Portuguese settlers' and 1O0 Africans were killed! when the .Alri-**-**-"*- att •■ village of Ucua. about 75 mies | north of Luanda. 1 same report told of a Portuguese army patrol being amh'-shid by tent •*-. 1 0 officers commanding the patrol anc". "some" soldiers were killed. Reports from the trouoled lorthern area of Angola -aid bands of Africans, armed #ith modern weapons, have destroyed bridges, blocked roads with trees and sacked villages abandoned by white settlers. A Portuguese army column entering these villages reported that anything not car ied away by the Africans had been hacked to pieces. FACES PAINTEO RED, The Luanda correspondent ol>| the Lusitania* news agency, in a report Of the Ucua attack, -said *,he Africans who joined in the •aid had their faces painted scarlet, wore shorts and carried cutlasses bearing the words "U.P.A.-fcumumba."

Mr, Argue told the Commons thc program is of "very little value" and needed a major overhaul before it could be of any help or be accepted by the farrtiers in high-risk areas of Western Canada. Agriculture Minister Alvin Hamilton, whose ,961-62 department spending estimates totalling 1172,181,953 were approved Thursday in the 10th day of de-| bate, said every province would .._ taking advantage of tbe scheme by the end of a decade. Under the system the federal government pays 20 per cent of the premiums and half the administration costs. The farmer pays the remaining 80 per c:nt of thc premium and the prov- takes the tab for the remaining half of administration costs. Mr. Hamilton said 2 500 farmers were covered in. Manitoba in 1960 and this figure is expected to be doubled in 1961. Pilot urograms were being set up in Saskatchewan and interest was increasing in Alberta, Prince Edward Island and Ontario. Mr. Hamilton s.aid the insur- a fur. r being set up side Angola, the agency said. |by the farmers themselves as a protection against the uncertainty of weather. They would find that for every 80 cents thcy put into it they would receive $1. ONLY 400 REPLIED Mr. Argue said that lhe government of Saskatchewan sent out 40,000 application forms to farmers. Only 400 showed an interest. The lack of interest proved that it was "a half - baked scheme brought in without any prior consultation with the prov. inces." ~ THE COUNTRY_PARSON "A fellow who sees an evil in the world, like a man who sees his neighbor's house -on fire, isn't much help if *• doesn't say so." ■'
