Tehran papers claim Iran would give full military support to Arabs if a new Arab Israeli war erupts, citing talks between the Shah and Italian President Leone.

Plan for Rhodesia Black Rule Emerges from Vorster
Political sources in Salisbury say South Africa's Prime Minister Vorster drafted a plan to grant black majority rule in Rhodesia within five years. The plan would lower voting qualifications to seven years of schooling plus one year of high school, potentially adding 150,000 to 300,000 Africans to the voters roll and leaving whites in power for five years before a black-led government could take over. Rhodesian officials deny any such proposal exists or will be discussed at a constitutional conference.
