THEMICHIGAN DAILY, rage i nrve THEMICHIGAN DAILY rage i nr~e DAILY International Rhodesian i boycott? WASHINGTON - Appealing; to Congress to impose a boy- cott against Rhodesian ,chrome,i Secretary of State Cyrus Vance said yesterday the Carter ad- ministration supports a 'rapida but peaceful transition to black rule in Rhodesia. "The key to peace lies in Mr. Ian Smith's hands," Vance said, referring to the white Rhodesian leader. Vance went on to say that a U.S. boycott of Rhodesian chrome would persuade Smith to move in that direction. - Vance, testifying before the Senate subcommittee on Afri- can affairs, said the United States would not take charge of any negotiations looking toward' black rule and has no intention of becoming involved in a con- flict in Rhodesia if Britain fails to arrange a peaceful settle- ment "In our judgment, clearly theI British should play the leading role," Vance said. The United Nations has im- posed a global boycott of Rho- desian chrome since 1966. How- ever, the United States has re- fused to honor the boycott be- cause of the congressionally im- posed Byrd amendment, which bars U.S. participation. IRA gunmen sentenced LONDON - Four Irish Repub- lican Army gunmen were sen- tenced yesterday to life impri- sonment for seven killings and a dozen bombings during an 18- month IRA offensive in English cities. Authorities said they were bracing for a possible upsurge of IRA violence in reprisal for the stiff sentences. The judge in the case, Sir Joseph Cantley, who had been told he was on the extremists' death list, refrained from com- menting on the threat of an IRA campaign as: he imposed the sentences in Central Criminal Court, known to Londoners as the Old Bailey.

A statement by the Catholic bishops of southern Africa call- ed for sweeping change to avert more bloodshed. It urged a sharing of power between South Africa's .5 mil- lion whites and its 18 million voteless blacks, condemned al- leged police brutality against blacks and vowed to promote black leadership within the Church.', The statement was issued as students returned to school in the black township of Soweto, near Johannesburg, after a day ! of book burning and protest against the government's sepa- rate education policy for blacks. The bishops demanded an in- vestigation of what they describ- ed as the "seemingly systematic beatings and unjustifiable shoot- ings of blacks during disturban- ces and of cold blooded tor- ture of detained persons." In one of the most radical statements ever published by the Church in South Africa, long a champion of black rights, it declared: "No temporary suppression by violence, only a sharing of citi- claimed victory yesterday, over young challenger Edward Sad- lowski. But Sadlowski would not con- cede. defeat and his aides hint- ed that the election for top of- ficers in the 1.4 million- mem- ber union would be challenged. Based on unofficial returns gathered by his campaign staffs, McBride said he had a 75,000 - vote margin over his opponent. A Sadlowski spokes- man claimed his candidate was ahead by a slim lead of about 5,000 votes. McBride's unofficial returns gave him a lead of 281,632 to 196,263 at 4,529 locals. Sadlow- ski's latest figures, which were posted early Wednesday even- ing, put him ahead 171,531 to 166,980 at 2,170 locals. About 500,000 votes were cast in Tuesday's election, a turn- out considered to be about nor- mal. John Askins, a Sadlowski spokesman, declined to say de- finitely whether the election re- sults would be challenged. But he added; "There's been so much vote fraud. With all the polling places, they only had to steal a few votes at each place and they could get 100,000." Gas shortage may continue WASHINGTON - The na- tion's natural gas shortage may continue until October and could become even worse in winters to come, a key federal energy official said yesterday. "We're not going to get out of today's crisis possibly until next October" because of the need! to refill depleted storage sup- plies of natural gas in prepara- tion for next winter, said John O'Leary, new head of the Fed- eral Energy Administration. "And indeed," O'Leary told the Consumer Federation of America, "next winter, and the next winter, and the next win- ter it's going to be worse." At the same time, govern- ment reports indicated the cur- rent mild weather had sent back to the job thousands of workers laid off due to natural gas shortages but that many more were still out of work. Meanwhile, President Carter announced that Vice President Walter Mondale and former President Gerald Ford will head a new energy conservation group to minimize the waste of fuel resources in the United States. And Carter's chief energy ad- viser, Janes Schlesinger, said energy conservation will be the cornerstone of the administra- tion's comprehensive policy to be unveiled by April 20. He hint- ed that much of the conserva- tion may be imposed by the gov- ernment and may involve some kind of price regulation as well.
