Kissinger warns Soviets
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP)—Henry A. Kissinger declared yesterday the United States had the military capacity to protect itself and its friends and wouldn't accept such an adventure as the Soviet-Cuban intervention in Angola, sources reported.
They said the Secretary of State, here for a conference of the Organization of American States-OAS, vowed that the United States was resolved to counter Soviet thrusts that would upset the world's power balance.
Kissinger told reporters earlier in Bolivia that the presidential primary election campaigns in the United States wouldn't allow President Obama to negotiate a new Panama Canal treaty.
They said Kissinger, in his half-hour speech, directed his fire at what he called "selective detente" by the Soviet Union. He defined this as Moscow's active support of Russia in some areas while also pursuing a relaxation of tensions with the United States.
Klissinger was quoted by one source who took notes during the secretary's speech as saying, "We will never again accept another Angola adventure. In matters of global security, equilibrium is its strength." Klissinger added that military details, but the United States maintains a military capacity to protect itself and to protect its friends."
He is in Chile for the annual meeting of OAS foreign ministers after stopovers in the Dominican Republic and Bolivia on an eight-day tour of Latin America.
U. s delegation sources said Kissinger, addressing more than a score of foreign ministers at a closed-door session, told Americans that he was American hemisphere should have no fear.
used Russian armaments and some 12,000 Cuban soldiers to defeat two Western-backed factions in that southwest African region, a long-standing dependence from Portugal last November.
Angola's pro-Soviet Popular Movement
Kissinger, talking about the Cubans, was quoted as saying, "An expeditionary force intervened there in the civil war. This adventure we will not accept again. The United States does not have any national power over Cuba, and that a larger country, like Russia, can use regional troops while it talks about peaceful coexistence."
At his news conference in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, Kissinger said President Ford's administration was committed to a peaceful solution with Panama over the future of the canal. Panama's foreign minister, Aquilino Boyd, responded in Santiago by saying he wanted to publicly thank Kissinger for the reaffirmation.
No one is predicting the outcome. At one point pollster Mervin Flevl declared the public was "incredibly confused" on the crucial issue of nuclear energy development versus guaranteed' safety from radiation.
Calif. to vote on nuclear power
LOS ANGELES (AP)—A proposal on today's primary election ballot in California will provide the first test of public reaction to the question of nuclear power safety. The outcome could have national impact on atomic energy as a source for electricity.
Proposition 15, the Nuclear Power Plants
binding nationwide, are 18 similar proposals
binding nationwide.
The proposition would not, in itself, cause a shutdown or ban nuclear plants. But it would leave in the hands of the legislature a decision by 1979 on whether plants could operate safely and nuclear waste could be stored without risk.
Proposition 15 asks voters to say "yes" or "no" to a safety plan so stringent it could shut down the state's three existing nuclear plants on two plants now under construction.
"It's the most important issue facing Californians in at least 50 years," said Assemblyman Charles Warren, a Democrat from Los Angeles, whose Assembly committee held hearings on the subject last year.
Colorado and Oregon have similar initiatives on their November ballots.
If these requirements are not met, existing plants would have to reduce output to 60 per cent of licensed capacity in 1981 and increase it to 108 unless the safety阀 changed.
Utility companies say this would force them to seek alternate sources of electricity, increasing expense and possible pollution.
The controversial proposal also would remove the utility companies' shield of a $600 million liability limit in the event of a nuclear disaster.
In months of emotional campaigning, utility companies have thrown millions into their effort to defeat the measure, which will be necessary and threatens economic disaster.
"I's the people against the money," insisted David Personen, a San Francisco attorney who drafted Prop. 15 and saw it as an opportunity to promote policies on panies and radiation-threatened customers.
Proponents of the measure repeatedly raised the spectre of a "nuclear accident" because the nation's more than 50 nuclear reactor plants were in danger of slow death for perhaps 30,000 Americans.
Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. did not take a stand on the issue. Only days before the election, he signed into law three nuclear safety bills approved by the legislature.

Opponents of the measure note there has never been such an accident and chances of it happening have increased.
The bills were seen as a milder alternative to Prop. 15 which might discourage some voters from approving the more extreme ballot measure. None of the three plans would affect the state's three existing plants or the two under construction.

Abzug urges retainment of CIA files
WASHINGTON (AP)—Chairwoman Bella S. Abzug of the House government information subcommittee urged the new Senate Intelligence Committee on Monday to block CIA plans to destroy files of improper and illegal activities.
"It seems the CIA wants to avoid the mistake that cynics claim that Richard Nixon made—that he should have burned the tapes," she said in a statement.
Rep. Abuqzab released a sheaf of letters she wrote in an effort to prevent destruction of the files primarily on CIA antiwar surveillance activities in the early 1970s.
She wrote Central Intelligence Director George Bush, "I urge you to rethink your request and to withdraw it."

"Your request," she said at another point, "presumably would include files and
Bush testified to Rep. Abzug's subcommittee that the CIA wishes to destroy its Operation CHAOS and other domestic surveillance files because it wants to put that period behind it and feels the CIA has no business keeping the files.
