RHODESIAN SITUATION
Smith faces increasingopposition
SALISBURY, Rhodesia (/P) -
Wide-ranging political dissent
has surfaced in Rhodesia for the
first time since its unilateral
declaration of independence
from Britain.
Whatever the outcome of Sal-
isbury-London negotiations to
settle the constitutional dispute,
Prime Minister Ian Smith faces
increased opposition from out-
side and within his ruling Rho-
desian Front party.
After independence was de-
clared Nov. 11, 1965, Rhodesian
whites united behind "good old
Smithy" against pressure from
Britain, black Africa, the United
Nations and the black majority
in this territory.
Now seriouxs political protest
from the right and left of Smith
I
can be heard. It promises to be-
come louder.
On the far right is a group
Smitli once dismissed as "my lu-
natic. fringe." These ultracon-
servative elements demand an
end to negotiations, declaration
of a republic, entrenched white
supremacy and closer ties with
South Africa.
Sewage engineer Len Idensohn
bolted the R~hodesian Front in
March because of what hensaw
as its liberal tendencies, and
launched the Rhodesian nation-
al party.
"The national government of
this country has to be kept in
white handsfor all time," Iden-
sohn told a rally in Salisbury.
His first priority would be to
oust the 15 black members of
Parliament.
Among Idensohn's supporters
is tobacco farmer Chris Phillips,
who has described Prime Min-
ister Smith as "a white kaffir."
In this area "kaffir" means
about the same as "nigger" in
the United States.
Others are trying to revive the
defunct Dominion party. Those
who call a phone number ad-
vertised in the Rhodesia Herald
are urged to band together to
protect "the heritage of your
children."
This group is seeking a suit-
able leader. Among the candi-
dates are William Harper and
Lord _Angus Graham who were
dropped from Smith's Cabinet
this year. Dominion party boost-
ers also are flirting with any
Cabinet ministers found unhap-
py under Smith's leadership.
Smith's Rhodesian Front dis-
ciplined right-winger R o b i n
James by pushing him out of
the party this year. He now sits
in Parliament as an indepen-
dent and insists that the whole
issue revolves around "the sur-
vival of the European in Rho-
desia."
The Smith -party has 10,000
members and 49 of the 65 seats
in-Parliament. Landlocked Rho-
desia has only about 80,000 vot-
ers among its 220,000 whites and
four million blacks.
To the left of Smith are a
Center party, politically unaffil-
iated businessmen who are press-

ing for a settlement to end sanc-
tions, and two weak African par-
ties.
Percy N1'Kudu, leader of the
blacks' United People's party,
was disappointed thattno blacks
were represented at the latest
British-Rhodesian negotiations.
"How can the, future of this
country be settled without 98
per cent of the population hav-
ing a voice?" he asked.
The UPP has 11 members in
Parliament and represents lit-
erate urban blacks. M'Kudu gets
little support from white liber-
als. Many black Rhodesians once
supported either the Zimbabwe
African Peoples Union or Zim-
babwe African National Union.
Both are now banned and their
leaders are among hundreds of
Africans held in detention
camps.
Unlike the two outlawed par-j
ties, the UPP believes in working
for gradual progress toward ma-
jority rule within the narrowL
political framework allowed by
the white regime.
Rhodesia would be renamed
Zimbabwe under majority rule
and Salisbury would be known
as Harare.
The strongest parliamentary
spokesman for the African is a
white independent, Dr. Ahrn
Palley, who represents Highfield,
a black suburb of Salisbury. Pal-
ley has urged the government to
settle on Britain's terms.

U.S. NEGOTIATORS DELAYED the opening session
of the enlarged Vietnam peace talks because of South
Vietnam's refusal to attend negotiations which involved
the National Liberation Front.
Although the NLF challenged the Americans to proceed
without the South Vietnamese representatives, U.S. delega-
tion sources made it clear Washington would not agree.
The first enlarged meeting involving both the Saigon
regime and the NLF was to have been held today, a date ad-
vanced by President Johnson when he called the bomb halt
last Thursday.
U.S. negotiators remained optomistic that President Thieu
will reconsider his position and attend the Paris talks.
The enlargement of the talks to include the four main
parties was part of the American peace package that included
the halt of U.S. attacks on North Vietnam and Hanoi's tacit
acceptance of mutual de-escalation.
This meant the presence of the NLF and prompted
Thieu's boycott.
In Paris a NLF negotiator, Mrs. Thi Binh lists the front's
aims at the peace talks as:
--Withdrawal of American and allied troops and closing
of American bases in South Vietnam.
- Self-determination in the South "according to t h e
front's political program."
- Gradual reunification with North Vietnam.
An essential step in the political process, Mrs. Binh added,
would be formation of a government of "large national coali-
tion" to organize free elections in the South.
A prime candidate for coalition with the front, she said,
was the Alliance of National Democratic and Peace Forces
formed last spring in Saigon and then outlawed by, President
Thieu.

THE NORTH VIETNAMESE accused the United
States yesterday of violating its sovereignty and security
by flying reconnaissance missions over North Vietnamese
territory.
The charge was made in what Radio Hanoi said was an
official statement of the government issued by the Foreign
Ministry..
The statement also accused the United States of "inten-
sifying its bombing and aggressive war against South Vietnam
since being forced to unconditionally halt its bombing ofthe
North."
THE SAIGON GOVERNMENT claimed yesterday that
Hanoi had urged its commanders to step up the fighting,
terrorism and sabotage in South Vietnam.
The orders, detailed in a captured document whose au-
thenticity, and origin are still undertermined is now being
examined by U.S. intelligence experts.
Both the Viet Cong and North Vietnam have sworn to
continue the fighting while the enlarged peace talks go on in
Paris.
The Saigon government quoted the document as saying
regional and provincial political commissars should increase
the guerilla movement and "military, political and enemy
troop action activities throughout the territory of South Viet-
nam after the United States stops the bombing of North Viet-
nam."
The daily communique from U.S. Command headquarters
reported 80 "scattered small unit contacts with light casual-
ties."
The command also reported that preliminary figures in-
dicated American combat casualties since last Friday, when
President Johnson ordered the bombing halt, had continued
at about the same level of the past two weeks.
* . .
PALESTINE COMMANDS are believed to have set
fires near a Jordanian refugee camp yesterday, the latest
in a series of harassments of King Hussein's army.
The government had lifted a curfew for six hours yester-
day afternoon but ,was forced to reimpose it as machine gun
fire broke out in scattered sections of Amman last night.
In l5amascus, Syria, representatives of guerrilla groups
operating in Jordan said that a bloody showdown between
Hussein's army and the commandos was inevitable.
One representative asserted that the situation in Amman
was explosive and the country was "teetering on the brink of
war."
Amman authorities said they had arrested the ringleaders
of the Victory Phalanges, a splinter guerrilla group accused
of being paid agents of a foreign power, which the govern-
ment would not identify, whose aim was to stir up civil strife
in Jordan rather than to fight the common enemy Israel.
