Cuba plans Rhodesian interventio UNIVERSITY STUDIO 115 College Main, Northgate 846*8019 Associated Press 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."
