LUSAKA, Zambia ta'i--Presi-

war" with the white regime of
neighboring Rhodesia.
In another indication of a
worsening racial confrontation
in southern Africa, President
Samora Machel of Mozambique

peaceful solution in Rhodesia

Young prepared to press a U.S.
diplomatic campaign to help
end the four year old Rhodesian
guerrilla war and pave the way
for black majority rule in
southern Africa.
Mondale meets with John
Vorster, prime minister of
white ruled South Africa, on
Thursday and Friday in Vienna,

MACHEL, opening the U. N.
conference in the Mozambican
capital yesterday, said, "We
believe it is a mistake to speak
of peaceful solutions when there
is war.'
'The conference, attended by
representatives of 80 nations,
was called to uster support
for the black nationalist strug-
gles in Rhodesia and the South
African - controled territory
of South 'West Africa.
Machel's speech was an ap-
, parent rejection of current U.S.-
British peace efforts.
HE ALSO rejected the possi-
ble participation of Rhodesian
Prime Minister tan Smith's
government in any conference
writing a new Rhodesian con-
stitution, and he accused un-
named Western powers of al-
lowing their citizens to fight as
mercenaries for the Smith re-
gime and of supplying arms to
South Africa in "active sup-
port" of white - supremist re-
gimes in southern Africa.
Owen, backed by the United
States, has been trying to gath-
er support from the nationalists,
Smith and other black and
white leaders in the region for
a constitutional convention
aimed at ending the Rhodesian
conflict by transferring govern-
ment control from the 272,000
whites to Rhodesia's 6.5 million
blacks.
Kaunda, who is regarded as
a moderate among black Af
rican leaders, said he had re-
ceived a letter from Owen in
which the British foreign secre-
tary said Smith had told hom
the Rhodesians believed that
a new guerrilla offensive was
ahoit to be lawched from Zam-
bia and that they might have
"no alternative" but to attack
gIerrilla bases in Zambia.
