37 k'lled in
Rhodesia clash
SALISBURY, Rhodesia (/P' -'Security forces and black na-
tionalist guerrillas clashed in what apparently was the first major
battle of a new government counteroffensive, official sources re-
ported yesterday. At last 37 black civilians were reported killed.
The sources said 31 other black civilians were wounded in the
fighting, believed to have aken place Sunday in the Ndanga tribal
trust land, 200 miles south of here and 78 miles from the Mazom-
bique border, the main infiltration route for insurgents.
IT WAS NOT clear whether any guerrillas were among the
black casualties, and there was no immediate report of dead or
wounded among the security forces. Further details on the fighting
were not immediately available.
In other clashes in the first nine days of May - the beginning
of the government's annual dry season counteroffensive - au-
thorities reported 18 g'cerriilas and one security force member
were killed.
Military planners call the six dry months the "culling season,"
when thinni g ground confer lakes it easier to hunt down insur-
gents who for four years have been fighting to bring down the
white minority regime of Prime Minister Ian Smith.
GOVERNMENT COMMANDERS have stepped up army and
police patrols and have increased the number of ambushes laid
on infiltration trails from Mozambique, Zambia and Botswana.
"The weather is now on our side," a security official said,
"and we're pulling out all stops to destroy the terrorists, halt the
insurgency and seek out arms caches."
The rainy season helped the two nationalist armies-Joshua
Nkomo's Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU) and Robert
Mugabe's ZimbabweAfrican National Union (ZANU) build up their
