Carrington, Vance fail to agree on Rhodesian policy LONDON (AP)-Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and British Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington met for nearly sit hours yesterday on a range of international issues but ap- parently failed to agree on the touchy issue of a new Anglo- American strategy on Rhodesia. Speaking to reporters outside the Foreign Office, Carrington said: "We have had a busy day." He described his first meeting with a senior American official since the Conservative government gained power in national elections May 3 as "not only very agreeable, but very positive." Vance, standing with Carrington at the news conference, avoided direct reference to Rhodesia. He said European issues, the Middle East, Asian, and Caribbean problems were discussed, adding that "some African problems" were touched upon. BEFFORE LAST month's Rhodesian elections, both countries had been united on not recognizing any new black majority Parilament chosen without the participation of The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, May 22, 1979-Page 9 nationalist guerrillas led by Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo. Despite Western pressure,-the guerrillas were left out of the process in which Bishop Abel Muzorewa was elected the country's first black prime minister. The U.S. Senate, nevertheless, has voted to urge President Carter to lift economic and political sanctions im- posed by the United Nations after Prime Minister Ian Smith unilaterally declared independence from Britain in 1965. Car- ter has promised to make a decision on Rhodesian recognition by mid-June. TOP LEVEL British Foreign Office officials visited Rhodesia last week and declared the elections were as "fair and free" as possible. But new British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher had delayed any decision on recognizing the new Rhodesian government, which will be installed later this month, until after an August British Commonwealth con- ference.

THE EDISON statement said the an- ticipated approval of the staff recom- mendation "is a forward step in utility rate-making. "The plant will be available to produce electricity in time for the likely period of greatest need this summer," it said. The state attorney general's office, however, recommended against any in- terim increase. ASSISTANT Attorney General Hugh Anderson said the "plant is not useful and never will be, and shouldn't be paid for" by Edison customers. Anderson said the plant's fuel bills alone will be higher than the cost of buying the same amount of power from another utility. BUilding the plant in the face of rising oil prices was "crazy planning" million by Edison's management, he said. THE EDISON spokeswoman said the utility "cannot rely on our neighbors to supply power that we may need. "Basically, it's just a question of availability," she said. "Will that power be available when it is needed?" The Detroit-based utility's earnings for the 12 month period ending in March were $139 million or $2.19 per share, up from $82 million or $1.45 per share in the previous 12-month period.
