Cuba plans Rhodesian interventio

WASHINGTON — Cuba, fresh
from its battlefield successes in An
gola, is gearing up to help Rhodesian
nationalists trying to overthrow the
white supremacist regime of Prime
Minister Ian Smith, U. S. officials be
lieve.
The Cuban plan, the officials said,
probably calls for sending military
advisers and training officers to
Rhodesia’s eastern neighbor,
Mozambique. Rlack nationalist
Rhodesian guerrillas have been
using Mozambique as a staging area
for guerrilla operations in Rhodesia.
A steady increase in these operations
has been reported in recent weeks.
Mozambique closed its border and
cut off all links with Rhodesia on
Wednesday after President Samora
Machel said Rhodesia had engaged
in air and artillery attacks inside
Mozambique.
As described by U. S. officials,
Cuban involvement in behalf of
Rhodesian guerrillas would be much
less ambitious than it was in Angola.
There, Cuban troops did much of the
fighting for the Popular Movement
for the Liberation of Angola against
two pro-Western factions.
The U.S. officials said they were
not entirely certain that Cuba would
assist Rhodesian guerrillas nor were
they able to pin down the form that
Cuban aid might take. But they said
they expect that some of the 12,000-
14,000 Cuban troops now in Angola
would be transferred to the Mozam
bique border area to dispense milit
ary advice and training. Such a
strategy, they said, raises the pros
pect of border clashes involving
Cuban and Rhodesian regular
troops.
The Smith regime in Rhodesia,
which broke from Great Britain 10
years ago, is currently engaged in
negotiations with black leaders who
are demanding an end to white rule.
Secretary of State Henry A. Kis
singer expressed support Thursday
for black majority rule in Rhodesia
and said the current negotiations
offer the “last opportunity for a
peaceful settlement.”
Kissinger called on Cuba to pro
ceed with “great circumspection be
cause our actions cannot be deduced
by what we did in Angola."
He refused to say
Washington would takeifCiil
tacked Rhodesia because “wtj
