The South African press re- ported widely that the first step toward settling the impasse between the white minority and the black majority in Rhodesia may be taken in Lusaka, Zam- bia, by the weekend. THE JOHANNESBURG Star said it was not known whether South African officials would be present at the talks to break the Rhodesian deadlock which has been the biggest barrier to co- operation between Pretoria and black Africa. The Star said a break-through on Rhodesia could lead to the following six-point program for Ethiopian corruption trial stalled ADDIS ABABA (UPI) - The armed forces postponed a mass corruption trial of former Ethio- pian leaders yesterday, but tightened the military's grip on the jittery capital. A spokesperson for the mili- tary regime said the trial, scheduled to begin yesterday in the bomb-damaged capital, was postponed to an undiscbsed date. THE ARMED forces held about 140 former leaders seiz- ed during the gradual fall from power of deposed Emperor Haile Selassie. The military re- gime announced the executions last month of 60 ex-officials for corruption. The ruling Military Council imposed a 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. cur- few on the capital in response to two bomb blasts Monday end a threatened explosion Tuesday. Authorities reported detaining eight persons in connection with the bombings, which damaged city hall and the Wabe Shebelle Hotel.

If the PLO actually tries the hijackers it will be the first such tribunal ever held. Palestinian guerrillas, including the eight who killed two American diplo- mats and a Belgian envoy in Khartoum, Sudan last year, have been handed over to the PLO in Cairo, but never haveI come to trial. The guerrilla source, a mem- ber of the PLO in Cairo, said Tunisian President Habib Bour- guiba and other officials had: been persuaded to change their minds on refusing to release the four hijackers. Tunisian officials had no immediate comment. LAST WEEKEND Bourguiba was quoted as saying he thought the best solution was "to keep them here in Tunisia. Besides we promised them not to put them on trial. They trust us and we have to keep our promises. It is a human problem and not a problem of sanctions.:rihey will stay in Tunisia until the situation changes." The Palestinian source did not say whether or how the situa-J tion had changed. The informant said a member of the PLO executive committee who took part in the negotia- tions that led to the hijackers freeing the plane and personsj aboard, would go to Tunisia tol take custody of the guerrilas. IN RIYADH, diplomatic sourc- es said the Saudis went to the French for tanks after the Unit- ed States, previously the chief arms supplier to Saudi Arabia, refused to sell them its newest model tank, the M60. It was not known what the Saudi mis-1 States is seeking. On Israel's front with Syria, military sources reported t h e Israelis have finished building a line of fortifications across the Golan .Heights. The Jerusa- lem Post said the fortifications cost $50 million and a "massive effort" was made to camplete the defenses before winter set in. In Damascus, Syria's govern- ment-controlled newspapers te- jected President Ford's concept of a step-by-step approach to settle the Middle East conflict. "This represents a U.S.-Zionist attempt to undermine Ara, so- lidarity by offering partial agreements instead of an over- all settlement," said Al Baath, paper of the ruling So c i a i s t Baath party.

THE SOUTH African Press Association said in a-report from Salisbury that talks began yes- terday in Lusaka between gov- ernment officials from Rhodesia and leaders of the African Na- tional Congress which seeks majority African rule in that country. Two African nationalist lead- ers in Rhodesia, Joshua Nkomo and the Rev. Ndabaningi Sit- hole, both currently in deten- tion, may also attend the meet- ing, the Star said. Seretse Khama, president of Botswana and one of the key figures in the negotiations, flew from Gabarone to Lusaka on Tuesday to join President Ken- neth Kaunda of Zambia and Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, the Star said. Prime Minister John Vorster of South Africa presided yester- day at a cabinet meeting in Pre- toria.
