John B. Con nally ended a visit to southern Africa Wednesday by criticizing the Carter administration for what he de scribed as siding with the Soviet Union against Rhodesia’s be leaguered biracial interim govern ment. At a news conference before leav ing Rhodesia after a 30-hour stay, Connally also said he does not in tend to consider whether to seek the Republican presidential nomination until after congressional elections in November. He denied news reports that his visit to southern Africa was financed by the South African Freedom Foundation, a conservtive associa tion of South African businessmen. “I don’t know who circulates these reports,” he said. “Obviously people of ill will live all over the world. We paid our way. We came because we wanted to come. That’s the end of it. Asked how much the trip cost, he said: “That’s none of your business. It’s cost me several thousand dollars but that’s my business. “I don’t know what that has to do with the mission but inevitably these days some members of the press are always extremely curious about dollars and cents. They appa rently think that that has something to do with the motives of your trip and I find that very interesting. Connally, on what he described as a private visit, said he met with Prime Minister Ian Smith and the three local black leaders who sit with Smith on the leadership of the government created by the “inter nal” majority rule agreement. I Interested in traveling?! I The MSC Travel Committee will hold an organ-! Britain and the United States, re fusing to recognize the internal ag reement, have been seeking to ar range negotiations between the government parties and the co- leaders of the guerrilla-backed Pat riotic Front, Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe. “I must say that I’m disturbed a bit when I see not only the United States but the U K. (United King dom) as well ostensibly supporting two out-of-country leaders, Nkomo and Mugabe, both of whom are being armed by the Soviets,” Con nally said. “It is a paradox, it seems to me, that these days in which we live, that we find the United States and Great Britain and the Soviet Union all supporting the same individuals. It’s not only a paradox but it’s somewhat disturbing to me. Some one’s wrong.” He said that even before visiting Rhodesia, he had the impression the interim government would have a hard time bringing an end to the war against black guerrillas “so long as the Soviets are supplying them arms and the United Kingdom and the United States are supporting them every other way, including economic sanctions against this country. So it makes it a pretty one-sided fight. He said that through the “inter nal’’ agreement, Rhodesia has achieved what former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger tried| ( persuade Smith to acept in i “And yet, the United States,[u from applauding and approving ( for some reason found itselfinapos. ition of being both silent and disap. proving,” he said. ‘Tm frankly loss to understand it.” Connally reiterated that Ameri cans do not understand the pri lems of South Africa, the ruled predominantly black to lift where he spent a week before fly to Rhodesia. “Soweto, " he said of the spratj ing black township near Johannes, burg, “is almost a generic termh poverty. And yet, when I lot around the United States and mo of the countries of the world, fe. eto is so far superior to the liiit conditions of most people thaty* see around the world.” Connally said Americans do derstand that South Africa is an cially divided country became “we’ve had a recent experience tlrat. It’s not all that unique and if not all that rare in thewoddtli there are class divisions and ek distinctions. “We’ve been through it for l| years and we re still going throng it. ” He said he personally does rot support apartheid, South Afric system of institutionalized segit& tion.
