(AP) Moroccan troops advance on fighting rebels KINSHASA, Zaire (AP) - About 400 Moroccan troops made their first advances against rebel forces in Zaire’s Shaba Province after the rebels pushed to within 25 miles of the copper-mining center of Kol wezi, reporters returning from the region said today. The government of President Mobutu Sese Sekou had no im mediate comment on the re ports. Reporters, ordered out of the province by the government, said the Moroccans moved from their base at Kolwezi to Kanzenze, 25 miles to the north west, to back up Zaire govern ment troops who clashed with the rebels a few miles west of Kanzenze, a village of about 2,- Takes Time Out lor Baby Still Loses 75 Pounds Credits Conway Diet Institute .

About 40 wounded govern ment troops were taken to Kol wezi’s hospital while others were taken by railroad to Ka mina, an air base town about 130 miles north of Kolwezi, the reporters said. It was not known if any of the 1,500-man Morocco force was involved in combat. Two Moroccans were killed and one injured in what was described as a jeep accident. The Moroccans were sent last week to help Zaire contend with an estimated 2,000 rebel troops that invaded from Angola March 8. Reporters from Kolwezi said during the lull of the past two weeks the rebels had advanced to near Kanzenze from the area of Mutshatsha, seized early in their invasion. At the same time, the Zaire air force in small Italian-made Macchi jet trainers and French Mirage fighters bombed road and rail lines leading east from the border town of Dilolo to Mutshatsha, the reporters said. Zaire has beefed up its forces in Shaba and the army has re quisitioned all trucks and taxis, a reporter from Kolwezi said. Civilian sources in Shaba Province, called Katanga when Zaire was the Belgian Congo, reported the rebels have set up a rudimentary civilian adminis tration and were issuing identi fication cards. The cards bear the name of “The Democratic Republic of the Congo,” which apparently is the name the rebels have given to areas under their control. Sources have estimated they control one-third of the province. The rebels were said to be giving away com and rice to the population in the traditionally food-short province 1,000 miles southeast of Kinshasa, capital of the central African nation of 25 million. dountu locally, J)nc. 1620 North Expressway Griffin, Georgia 30223 Phone 228-6611 See this new 4 bedroom brick split-level this weekend.

Inflation Carter’s remedies to get quick review WASHINGTON (AP) — Pres ident Carter’s voluntary reme dies for inflation are assured of quick congressional considera tion, with hearings beginning Tuesday. Rep. William S. Moorhead, D- Pa., said Friday his House Banking subcommittee on eco nomic stabilization will hold five days of hearings but they will go beyond the proposals Carter outlined Friday. Moorhead said he agrees with Carter that wage and price con trols should not be used to stem inflation. But he said his subcommittee will consider requiring busi nesses planning major price in creases to notify the Council on' Wage and Price Stability. Carter’s program does not in clude such a requirement, but Treasury Secretary W. Michael Blumenthal said the adminis tration hopes big businesses will tell the government in advance if they plan big price increases. Carter emphasized he would use a labor-management team which includes AFL-CIO presi dent George Meany and Regi nald Jones, chairman of Gener al Electric Co., to work to re duce inflation. This would continue the work of a group first set up for former President Gerald R. Ford and now meeting unofficially with former Labor Secretary John T. Dunlop remaining as chairman. Meanv said he and Jones Foreign affairs Sen. Mondale defends Carter’s openness AMES, lowa (AP) — Vice President Walter F. Mondale has defended the Carter admin istration’s open discussion of foreign affairs, declaring “U.S. foreign policy belongs to all of the people." The vice president, on a polit ical tour, told lowa Democrats Friday night that he was “proud to be the vice president in an administration in which the president will stand up and tell the American people what he intends to do in foreign affairs.” And, said Mondale, “I am proud our President, in a sharp break with precedent, has said a central and cherished objec tive of foreign policy ... will be to use the strength and power of the American people to speak up for human rights all over the world. It is in this way that we can restore the public trust so precious to American life.” The vice president did not mention directly criticism of the White House and Carter’s attempts to open up foreign pol icy decisions. But he said for eign policy had long been con ducted behind closed doors and was believed to be “so occult that only a few had the ability to take part in it.” Mondale spoke at a fund-rai ser for Sen. Dick Clark, D-lowa, on the first stop in a series of political appearances over the weekend in the Midwest. Today, after breakfast with Democratic party leaders, it was on to Detroit for a tour of the newly opened Renaissance Center, a skyscraper in down town Detroit, and more party functions. The trip is not designed to “have informed President Car ter that we would be willing to discuss with the President’s ad visers in a voluntary, nonoffi cial manner the major econom ic problems facing the nation.” Chairman Charles L. Schultze of Carter’s Council of Economic Advisers said targets will be to reduce inflation to between 4 and 4.5 per cent by the end of 1979 and unemployment to be tween 5 and 5.5 per cent. Con sumer prices have surged recently to an annual increase rate of about 9 per cent, but Carter said the underlying rate is about 6 per cent. Unemploy ment was 7.3 per cent in March. Carter said at a nationally televised news conference Fri day that getting the inflation rate down will require a patient, voluntary effort and that “no one should look to government for easy answers because there are none.” Among Carter’s other anti-in flation proposals: —A pledge to balance the budget by the end of his term. —Extension of the Council on Wage and Price Stability to provide more information on in flationary conditions. —lncentives for business to invest in new productive facil ities. —Encouragement of in creased productivity. —A program to restrain in creases in hospital costs. —Strict enforcement of anti trust laws. announce policy but to lend the prestige of the vice presidency to local Democratic politics. The Democratic party is paying the vice president’s costs. Gone is the tension of his chartered jet in a tight political campaign. On Friday, a staff member handed out candy aboard the Air Force jet that carried him to Des Moines, and before takeoff the vice presi dent chatted informally with re porters. President Carter has refrain ed from similar political trips, and he is not expected to make any during his first year in the White House. So the job falls to the vice president. The trip this weekend is Mon dale’s fourth political journey since Inauguration Day and his first overnight excursion from Washington since he returned there on Feb. 2 after a 10-day tour of Europe and Japan. Mondale’s appearance in lowa kicked off the re-election campaign for Clark, the senior senator whose term is up at the end of next year. About 700 people paid SSO each for a fried chicken dinner in a gymnasium on the lowa State University campus in Ames. 9 wB u w > X* Lost title NEW ORLEANS, La.—Rhonda Shear, 22, who claimed she was stripped of her title as Floral Trail Festival Queen because she appeared fully clothed in a Playboy magazine series on Southern beauties, lost her appeal to a state court which refused to order the organization to restore the title.
