Most factories said they were operating- at prestrike lev- els and, until the buses were af- fected, all essential services were running. The Action Council launched the strike to paralyze Northern Ireland's economy and force the British government into an all- out crackdown on guerrillas of the mainly Catholic Irish Re- publican Army. Another aim was restoration ofeProtestant rule in Northern Ireland. DESPITE the intimidation, the strike faltered in the face of a massive rejection by Ul- ster's million-strong Protestant majority and a tough British se- curity clampdown. The outlawed IRA is fighting to force Ulster Protestants into a reluctant union with the Cath- olic Irish Republic. The Rev. Paisley's detention in Ballymena came after he and 400 supporters, farmers from Ulster's staunchly Protestant hinterland, sealed off the center of the town with a tractor caval- cade to demonstrate support for the strike.

WASHINGTON 6P) - The United States and Great Britain plan to make a joint new proposal on Rhodesia in a bid to transform the rebel British colony into an independent black-ruled state by Sept. 24, 1978, diplomatic sources said yesterday. Diplomats of both countries said the U.S.-British plan, which will be unveiled today, is intended primarily as a way of evolving a constitution for Rhodesia. THE U.S.- British strategy will focus on the goal of securing the resignation of Prime Minister Ian Smith's Rhodesia Front gov- ernment about three months before the independence day. At that symbolic moment of the surrender of white domina- tion, all power, including control of defense, law qnd order and finance, would be handed over to a stopgap regime under a black caretaker premier. If American-British. aims are fulfilled, Smith's resignation would open the way to two major developments: . A cease-fire between the white-led Rhodesian forces who for years have been trying vainly to crush the escalating campaign of black guerrillas seeking power and independence by military means. * A cancelation of the United Nations economic embargo on Rho- desia imposed soon after'Smith's all-white minority regime pro- claimed its independence from Britain on Nov. 11, 1965. London's main event-a seven- nation economic summit attend- ed by leaders of the Western industrial nations - ended with the participants pledging to do whatever it takes to attain es- tablished g o a I s in economic growth and reduce inflation and unemployment. THEY ALSO created a panel to help curb nuclear prolifera- tion, voiced no sharp criticism of Carter's human rights cru- sade and pledged themselves to freer trade. China's official Hsinhua news agency, commenting on the eco- nomic conference, said Tuesday "no effective way to cope with the situation was found at the meeting. In spite of the opti- mism expressed by the heads of state about the results of the summit, Western public opinion doubted if the meeting could solve the current grave eco- nomic problems." At a four-power minisummit after the main economic meet- ing, Carter and the leaders of Britain, France and West Ger- many warned the Soviet Union not to threaten Berlin and re- newed their pledges to defend the divided city. IN GENEVA, Carter won praise from Assad for his ef- forts to bring a permanent peace to the Middle East. The Ameri- can president said afterward: "I was very pleased at the re- lationship that I formed." Meanwhile, Premiers Con- stantine Caramanlis of Greece and Suleyman Demirel of Tur- key were among the leaders who met with Carter in separate, pri- vate sessions. Conflicts between the two NATO neighbors have concerned the a II i a n c e, but there was no word on whether the meetings had contributed to a resolution of their problems. Regarding Greek and Turkish differences on Cyprus, Carter said: "I think there is common hope that the Cyprus question can be resolved." TURKEY is the only NATO member having an extensive common border with the Soviet Union. SUNDAY THRI THURSDAY SPECIAL ALL YOU CAN EAT!
