A Game of Chance

babwe Rhodesia.
“We have no illusions about what
will lie ahead, and we hope that
everyone concerned will give it (the
British plan) .frill consideration,” Re
ston said.
During a meeting Sunday night in
Lusaka, Zambia, the 39 heads of del
egations to a Commonwealth meet
ing drafted a new proposal for Zim
babwe Rhodesia that includes a call
for a cease-fire, British supervised
elections and a new constitution.
President Carter told British
Prime Minster Margaret Thatcher in
a diplomatic cable the new peace
plan is “a significant step forward”
and said he looks forward to consult
ing with her on progress being made
on the new plan.
By declaring the plan a uniquely
British responsibility, Reston was
acknowledging the end of the
Anglo-American plan, which began
in 1976 in the Ford administration
and continued in the Carter adminis
tration.
By giving the British frill responsi
bility for any success, he also was
laying the groundwork for blame in
case of failure.
His statements to reporters
stressed it was clear that many diffi
culties lie ahead in convincing all the
involved parties to reach agreement
on a negotiated and satisfactory end
to the war that is racking the former
British colony.

The heart of the Anglo-American
initiative was to apply pressure on
the Salisbury government to permit
internationally supervised elections
and to try to bring the Patriotic Front
and the Rhodesian government to
gether at the conference table.
Although elections were held in
May, they did not satisfy the re
quirement for international supervi
sion, and the United States and
Great Britain found the new con
stitution deficient because it re
served too much powerforL

BRISBANE, Australia — About
300 Vietnamese boat refugees fought
a pitched battle with more than 200
dockworkers over the visit of two
trade unionists from their com
munist homeland.
No serious injuries were reported,
but the faces of many of the brawlers
were bloodied in the fighting
Monday outside the Waterside
Workers’ Federation.
Police said four Vietnamese and
five Australians were arrested.
The protesting refugees arrived
early Monday at the headquarters of
the Waterside Workers Federation
and tried to drag the two Vietnamese
trade unionists from their car.
Dockworkers rushed from the
Federation hall, pushing and shov
ing the protesters back to clear a path
for Nguyen Thuyet, general secre
tary of the Vietnam Trade Union
Federation, and Do Tong Hop, an
official in the union’s international
department.
At least six screaming Vietnamese
wielding sticks ran across the street
and began hitting the dockworkers,
who chanted “Ho, Ho, Ho Chi
Minh,” police said.
A Vietnamese, who did not want
to be identified, said the dockwor
kers struck back with billard cues.
“Many of our people had blood all
over their faces,” he said. “I was
pushed to the ground and punched.
It was terrifying.”
Police eventually restrained the
Vietnamese protesters, all former
boat people now at the Wacol mi
grant center near Brisbane.
Inside, the Vietnamese and Aus
tralian unionists held brief talks.

TORONTO — Legionnaire’s disease, the mysterious pneumo*
like illness, is suspected of killing three people in Toronto in the
week.
Nine other people in two city hospitals are ill
seriously.
Legionnaire’s disease — so-called because it first killed 29 pefe
attending an American Legion convention in Philadelphia in ]:i (licorice
1976 — has not been confirmed.
Dr. Sandu Toma, chief medical bacteriologist with the Province
Ontario’s Health Ministry, said Monday blood and tissue culture
that could confirm the disease would likely take a week to lOdau
complete.
Toma said the Toronto area had 21 confirmed cases of the diseasei ipanishai

CATANIA, Sicily — Rock, ash and
a new fast flow of molten lava spew
ing from Mount Etna, Europe’s
mightiest and most tempestuous
volcano, Tuesday was threatening
tiny villages nestled on its slopes.
The new eruption showered
Catania, 20 miles away, with black
ash for the first time in 20 years and
forced temporary closure of its air
port.
Eruptions from three new craters
on the 10,707-foot high mountain
seemed to be subsiding after its
greatest activity in 20 years last
week, but volcanologists in a heliop-
ter Monday night detected a new
flow from a crater halfway up Etna’s
eastern slopes.
World-renowned Belgian volcano
expert Haroun Tazieff and other offi
cials hovering above Etna in a
helicopter reported the new lava
stream was moving at 200 yards an
hour along a 150-yard front, faster
than any of the earlier flows.
They said the volcano was roaring
loudly and blowing rock and ash into
the sky.
Experts reported the lava was ex
