Rhodesian party tests support for settlement plan
The Rhodesian Constitutional Association circulated questionaires to three white constituencies to gauge appetite for a Britain based settlement under a Wilson plan that could lead to majority rule for blacks. Of 5,047 sent, 1,260 were returned and 680 favored a prompt settlement. The Forum urges reopening talks, while officials warn campaigns undermine Rhodesia and could invite renewed sanctions pressure. Most whites back government policy, but fears grow of an apartheid path similar to South Africa.

Plaza Lands OAS Post From Conquistador Lineage
Galo Plaza Lasso, 62, elected secretary general of the Organization of American States on the sixth ballot ending nearly three months of stalemate. A former Ecuadorian president and U.N. crisis mediator, he is described as a vigorous outdoorsman with a lineage tracing to Spanish conquistadors on his mother’s side. He previously ran a large Ecuadoran ranch and has six children and 11 grandchildren. In Boston, former attorney general Francis E. Kelly urged a state sweepstakes to fund a new stadium, sparking cautions that fiscal concerns outweigh sports ventures.
