Rhodesian Crisis Escalates With Guerrillas and Border Moves
Rhodesia faces an insurgent threat as about 1,000 black guerrillas operate inside the country to topple the white minority regime, with 4,000 to 5,000 more in Mozambique and Tanzania. Defense minister P K van der Byl says recruitment may expand to black officers, while denying significant Cuban or Soviet presence in Mozambique.
