It's Saturday Sept. 25, 1 976 16 Pages 1 5 Cents Majority to rule in Rhodesia SALISBURY, Rhodesia ( UPI) Prime Minister Ian Smith told Rhodesians Friday the nation's black majority would rule the country within two years. In Washington, President Ford praised the decision an " act of realism" and said " a threat to world peace has been eased." " Rhodesia agrees to majority rule within two years," Smith said in a taped address to his nation of 275,000 whites and 6.1 million blacks. Reaction in Rhodesia was mixed. Blacks reserved judgment and whites expressed everything from praise to bitter condemnation. William Harper, leader of the United Conservative party and one of the men who engineered Rhodesia's unilateral declaration of independence from Britian in 1965, accused Smith of selling out the white community. " The mind boggles at the enormous impertinence and audacity of this man Smith as, with a show of sincerity, he explains just how he has discharged the trust that white Rhodesians placed in him in selling us out to black majority rule in less than two years," Harper said. The moderate Center party, which has no representatives in parliament said it " welcomes the decision of the ruling Rhodesian Front party to face the up to reality and accept the Kissinger package deal" Smith said his agreement to- Secreta- ry of State Henry Kissinger's plan, worked out in close consultation with the British government was dependent upon the termination of the guerrilla war, which has raged on Rhodesia's borders for four years, and the lifting of international sanctions. The dramatic turnaround by Smith, who declared independence from Britain and led his nation through 11 years of world ostracism to preserve white supremacy, was reached in talks last weekend between Kissinger and Smith in Pretoria, South Africa. Kissinger then won endorsement of the agreement from black African leaders and turned over negotiations to Britain. Smith made it clear the agreement Kissinger delighted Story on Page 11 had been imposed on Rhodesia by the United States and Britain, and that black rule was not his choice. He said that in his talks with Kissinger," It was made abundantly clear to me that we could expect no help or support of any kind from the free world," as long as Rhodesia maintained white minority rule.' The American and British governments, together with the major western powers, have made up their minds as to the kind of solution they wish to see in Rhodesia and they are determined to bring it about." Smith, quoting Sir Winston Churchill, said, " This is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end. But it, perhaps, is the end of the beginning.'' Smith said an interim black- whi- te government will be established prior to a cease- fir- e in the border war. He said the agreement provided for a trust fund to be set up outside of Rhodesia to finance expansion in industry and agriculture. Published reports have said the fund may total more than $ 1 billion. However, Smith conceded that " terrorism cannot be halted at the drop of a hat" and warned troops on border areas to remain vigilant. " Indeed, it is likely that there might be an immediate and temporary increase in terrorist activity." In an apparent reference to the Soviets' condemnation of Kissinger's mediation, President Ford said," We call on other countries to support, not impede, the African search for peaceful settlement." Obviously savoring a foreign policy victory during the election campaign, Ford said other nations also deserved credit for the breakthrough. He praised Britain's Prime Minister James Callaghan, South Africa's Prime Minister John Vorster and " various African presidents" with whom Kissenger consulted. " We will not prescribe for the peoples of Africa what only they can bring about," Ford said. " But we will be available to lend our full support to the efforts of the British, the Rhodesians of both races, and the African states concerned."

" That means the candidates can spend as much as they want this election," executive director Anne Forry said after a commission meeting at the Ramada Inn. The commission will continue to uphold the Missouri Finance and Disclosure Law's requirement that candidates list their contributions and income. Candidates running for statewide offices are limited to $ 421,000 in primary elections under the law. Candidates running for local offices have lower spending ceilings. A similar federal law was declared unconstitutional by the UJS. Supreme Court last year. However, the commission had continued using the Missouri law pending a ruling on its status. Cole County Circuit Court Judge Byron Kinder ruled last Wednesday that Missouri's law is unconstitutional. Kinder granted a stay order, allowing the commissioners to continue enforcing the law until the ruling has been appealed to the Missouri Supreme Court But in view of the two negative rulings, the commission voluntarily decided not to enforce the spending limit, commissioner Robert Karsch said. The US. Supreme Court had declared the law was unconstitutional because it violated candidates' rights of free speech. " If a candidate can't spend as much as he wants on getting his message across, then he doesn't have free speech," Ms. Forry said. The Missouri campaign financing law was initiated by public petition and passed by the state's voters in 1974. Ted Stein, state director of Common Cause, a public- intere- st lobbying group, told the commission Friday that the commission's rule regarding the disclosure law has " serious loopholes." One loophole is that the rule does not require candidates to list money received for goods or services, Stein said. fceVS " say yuure a contractor running for office and a person pays you to build a house," he said. " You don't have to declare that because supposedly he's getting a house for that money." Therefore, a candidate could be receiving money that no one would know about, he said. The rule Stein objects to states that a candidate does not have to disclose payments he receives from a person who, in return, is receiving the payment's full value in goods or services. The disclosure law requires candidates to list any contributions of more than $ 25, any personal investment of more than $ 1,000 or income of more man $ 100. The candidates do not report the amount of these contributions or investments, Stein said. They just list where they are or who they came from. Commissioners told Stein they would work on the disclosure law at their next monthly meeting. But the next meeting will be too late to affect the pre- electi- on disclosures, he said. The commission will meet at 10: 30 a. m. today at the Ramada Inn. Analysts view debate as virtual deadlock By R. W. Apple Jr. N. Y. Times Service WASHINGTON The political community evaluated Thursday night's presidential debate Friday as something of an anticlimax which neither profoundly altered the standing of the candidates nor reshaped their basic strategies. Although Republicans almost unanimously pronounced President Ford the winner and Democratic officials equally fervently asserted that Jimmy Carter had won, they tended to agree privately with the political analysts and the initial polls that called the encounter a draw or close to it The debate seemed to most to have failed to inject into the tepid campaign the excitement and voter involvement mat many had predicted. Both candidates, working with the caution of pitchers in the early innings of a World Series game, avoided innovative ideas or language and treated each other with gentility. The result was a rehearsal of familiar campaign rhetoric, focused largely on bread- and- butt- er economic issues of jobs and taxes, with no discussion at all of abortion, farm policy, Ford's Analysis acceptance of vacation lodging from UJS. Steel or Carter's gamy discussion of adultery in Playboy magazine all topics that would have been permissi-ble. If, as the evidence seemed to suggest, the rivals finished even, each side was able to count that as a victory. Ford partisans argued that the President, having entered the campaign and the debate as an underdog, had enhanced his position merely by fighting Carter to a standstill. He showed that he had ( See FORD, Page 16) Columbian surrenders after siege in trailer By Janet Elliott Missourian staff writer After standing off Columbia police for two hours and 15 minutes at the Holiday Park Mobile Home Village Friday night, 27- year-- old Alex Carthron surrendered to his mother. He was arrested as he walked with her from his residence and was charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm with a firearm. He was jailed. No bond had been set late Friday night Earlier, Carthron had fired a single shot from a 20- gau- ge shotgun. He was angered after arguing with his brother- in- la- w, said Mozella Carthron, Route 1, his mother. Mrs. Carthron said the brother- in- la- w had been living with Carthron and his wife and they were not getting along. Youdoran Young, a neighbor, said he had heard loud talking and music coining from Carthron's trailer during the afternoon. " About 5: 25 p. m. I heard what sounded like an argument," Young said. " He ( Carthron) started hollering, ' Get out!' Then I heard a shot and two guys and a lady with a baby and two children came out" About five minutes later, one police officer arrived at Carthron's trailer. Carthron yelled at him to get away from the door, Young said. More police arrived a few minutes later. " They knocked on my door and told me to climb out my back window and get far away from my trailer," Young said. Police Chief David Walsh said mat Carthron told the first officer there would be shooting and mat he had ( See STAR, Page 10)
