THE TALKS ARRANGED between Rhodesia and the British government seemed
to be held up, though diplomatic sources said there was no hitch, only a delay. Meanwhile President Kaunda of ZaMbia roundly condemned Mr Wilson for ever agreeing to the talks in the first place, a number of nationalist guerrillas crossed the border into Rhodesia leading to shooting and several deaths in Sinoia, and the British High Commission in Lusaka was stoned. Mr Gerald Brooke was reported to have been moved to a Soviet labour camp. Dr Adenauer embarked on a ten-day, visit to Israel, East German leaders asked that the talks arranged with the West German SPD be postponed until July and spokesmen in Peking described as vicious slanders reports that Chairman Mao, who has not been seen in public for six months, was either ill, senile or dead.
