U N Angola talks stall amid sharp UN debate
At UN headquarters in New York the general assembly debates over condemning foreign intervention in Angola collapsed after acrimonious remarks. Chinese delegate Lai Ya-li accused the Soviet leadership of fascist parallels while Jacob Malik denounced China as allied with South Africa and Portugal. Cuban ambassador Alarcon accused Moynihan of being a pseudo professor as Cuba aids the MPLA. Moynihan noted Cuban troops in six other African nations. Leftist African governments sought to broaden a resolution condemning South Africa to include its support for anti MPLA forces. The assembly approved a separate measure condemning South Africa’s racism by a 101 to 15 vote, urging major trading partners to end cooperation.

U S Mercenaries Sought in Angola
U S intelligence sources say CORE is recruiting black mercenary soldiers to act as a neutral police force in Angola. The plan, tied to mediation by the Organization of African Unity, hinges on a green light from Angola and the OAU, with no recruits dispatched yet. CORE denies CIA ties and says the effort aims to curb the war between UNITA and FNLA.

Christmas Stamps May Cause International Mail Confusion
Washington AP reports that this year’s Christmas stamps lack denominations, created to cover uncertain holiday rates. Universal Postal Union rules require a denomination, but the USPS relied on prevailing first class rates for sale. Officials say foreign countries agreed to accept the stamps, yet clerks may not recognize them, so domestic use is preferred.
