'Wan Mates Stay On Ships At Guild's Instruction | MONTREAL (CP) --Negoti- ations open here today between representatives of lake shippers and the deck officers manning some 300 lake freighters, with the officers apparently respect- ing instructions from their un- ion to remain on the job while talks continue. Many of the 500 deck officers had been reported giving their companies, members of the Lake Carriers' Association, 48 hours notice of resignation in protest against delays in negoti- ating a new contract. The 48 hours is all the notice they are required to give under terms of the Canada Shipping} Act. The first of the resigna- tions took effect at 2 p.m. Thursday, but no departure of any officer from any ship had been reported early today.

(AP) --.A power failure that momentarily blacked out four key U.S, mili- tary bases and plunged 1,000,- 000 persons into darkness in New Mexico, Texas, and Mex- ico has brought a federal in- vestigation on orders of Presi- dent Johnson.

'That is where the power installations are." The British so far have re- fused Kaunda's demand that their troops invade Rhodesia and seize the dam, which fur- nishes power to Zambia's rich copper mines: Commonwealth Secretary Ar- thur Bottomley, who' left Lu- saka by air for London after talks with Kaunda, said Brit- ain believes movement of Brit- ish troops into Rhodesia would result in war if the Rhodesian regime felt itself provoked. Kaunda said he reserves the right to call in troops from any country to protect the dam spanning the Zambesi River be- tween the two countries. To call in the Soviet Union, jhe added, would result in an | ideological war which he did not want.

Its existence was first disclosed in Salisbury Thursday night by a highly- placed government source.) Kaunda has been calling for British troops to occupy instal- lations on both the Zambian and Rhodesian sides of the Kariba dam.
