On the way to a second meeting with Kaunda over dinner Monday night. Kissinger said he was “confident that there would be a favorable acceptance by the Rho- desian cabinet and the govern- ment of the plan for majority rule in that white-ruled country."

Malta to expel Western forces

VALETTA. Malta (UPI) - Prime Minister Dom Mintoff‘s ruling labor party Monday won a new five-year mandate to keep Malta neutral. assuring withdrawal of Western forces from the strategic Mediterranean island by 1979.

Results of the two-day election gave Labor 34 seats against 31 for former Prime Minister George Borg Olivier‘s pro-Western Nationalist party in the 65-member house of representatives.

Mintoff‘s Labor party polled 106.000 votes for a slim victory margin of SI .54 per cent.

The results give Labor the same three-seat majority they held in parlaiment before the general elections Friday and Saturday. Labor won a one-seat majority in 197l but two Nationalists later defected to Mintof'f's camp.

Officials reported a final voter turnout of 95 per cent. equaling the record set in I932.

Labor supporters celebrated their triumph with horn-honking motorcades throughout the island. Several unoccupied National- ist clubs were set afire. but no injuries were reported.

Mintoff. 60. has pledged to keep Malta nonaligned and neutral when Britain and its NATO forces withdraw from Malts's military bases in I979.

In I972 his government tripled the rent Britain and NATO pay for use of the island's military bases. But he has vowed only Maltese forces will use the bases after the Western withdrawal, scheduled to end in March I979.
