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."

important about raese men?" But
Zachary Hokkn, an 8- year--

" One of them's the president and one's

" How often do we get to vote for a

Robert Marshall. " Once every four
years! " Zachary corrected him.
" I saw in the paper they had a picture

State will not enforce
campaign spending limit
By Diane Lade
Missourian staff writer
" The lid's off," said the Missouri
Election Commission's executive
director Friday after the commission
voted to quit enforcing limits on
spending set by the state's campaign
finance law.
" 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

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
