been using Mozambique as a staging area for guerrilla operations in Rhodesia A steady increase in these WASHINGTON operations has been reported in recent weeks As described by US 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

they expect that pro-Weste- rn some of the 12000-1400- 0 Cuban troops now in Angola would be transferred to the Mozambique border area to dispense military advice and training Such a strategy they said raises the prospect of border clashes involving Cuban and Rhodesian regular troops WASHINGTON (AP) — An amendment to a House-passe- d foreign aid appropriation biU could deprive many countries of
