African leader visits Soviets
MUSCWAN - Ethiopian leader I. L. Col. Mengtaiti Hafu Mariale arrived in Moscow yesterday on a state visit that was expected to the his Marist regime more closely.
At a Kremlin dinner honoring Mengistu, Soviet President Nikolai Podgorny said, "the imperialists are using some Arab countries—first of all Saudi Arabia—in an attempt to establish their control there in violation of the legitimate rights of other states and peoples of that area."

President Idi Amin said Tuesday that Tanzania was preparing an invasion, and that 37 Tanzanian and Ugandan exiles acting as the scouts for the attack had been sent to help.

The announcement followed two days of diplomatic talks in Paris between the two countries.
He said he pressed for U.S. aid in postwar reconstruction and he said talks would resume at the U.S. Embassy in Paris in about two weeks.
During the talks, Hien said, he told U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke, "The United States is responsible for keeping Vietnam at war and helping to rebuild Vietnam."
"We have also demanded an immediate termination of the U.S. trade embargo," he said. But he didn't claim that he would make any commitments on either subject.
Hien also said he had pledged that his government would speed up the search for American servicemen still missing in Vietnam.

The United States has twice vetoed Vietnam's admission to the U.N.
Hien said that the U.S. delegate had expressed appreciation for the action of the Vietnamese authorities in gathering information on Americans missing in Vietnam.
The Vietnamese delegate replied that, thanks to the good will of the Vietnamese authorities, they would intensify their efforts to provide additional information.
Pressed further, Hien said the United States had been informed about "two or three new cases." He did not reveal the identity of the Americans.
Hien said the two sides agreed that their two days of talks in Paris were held in 'an agreement' with the French government.
In answer to questions, Hien said he couldn't say if it was the case. But he accounted for being booked for
