British Plan Rejected By Two Leaders
In Geneva two black nationalist leaders rejected a compromise from British Chairman Ivor Richard, demanding Dec 1 1977 as a deadline for black majority rule while Rhodesia's white minority government backs a two year transition.

The Fords vacationed in Palm Springs, viewed properties, and planned a Christmas ski trip to Vail, with further visits arranged at Pocantico Hills.
