Passes inal F 'or R LONDON (AP) -- The Dritish government today approved a "final offer' to Premier Ian Smith giving him one month to end the Rhodesian rebellion or face 'sh compulsory sanctions under the United Nations. : Commonwealth Secretary Her- bert Bowden told reporters after a British cabinet. meeting that Sir Morrice James, a high official of the Commonwealth relations office, will fly to Salis- bury tonight with the govern- ment's minimum terms for a settlement. The terms were drafted after Bowden's talks with Smith and| other Rhodesians in Salisbury last month. Bowden said James will de- liver the British message to Rhodesia's governor, Sir Offer ebels Humphrey Gibbs, who in turn will 'take it Friday to Smith. AVOID RECOGNITION This method of indirect com- munication is employed to avoid any semblance of recognition of the regime that Britain con- siders illegal. The Smith regime seized inde- pendence last Nov. 11 in defi- ance of the Crown and Parlia- ment. Bowden declined public the government's "terms for ending the constitutional cri- | sis. But he said they were well within the principles laid down by Britain for moving the colony toward majority rule by its 4,000, 000 Negroes, now governed by 250,000 white colonists.

Airport early today. The robbery occurred in the airport's mailroom when thieves slashed their way through a heavy wire mesh to steal 15 bags believed to contain bills in various. denominations. RCMP and post office inves- tigators and Dorval. police set up roadblocks and were searcn- ing all cars leaving the airport. Post office officials said the amount of the loss probably was "considerable"? but an exact ac- counting could riot be made un- til reports of shipments were ob- tained from the banks who had sent money through the airport Wednesday night and today. A Provincial Police .,spokes- man said it was estimated, that about $1,000,000 in cash had been taken. The stolen mailbags were made of heavy leather and each measured 10 by 12 inches. In addition to the 15 small bags Mailbag Theft M i ll i weighing 10 pounds each, police said two 30-pound bags probably containing regular mail were taken, EMPLOYEES ON LUNCH The theft was believed to have occurred between 4 a.m. and 4:43 a.m. while mailroom em- ployees were on a meal break. Post office investigators said the mailroom was "difficult to get at and normally was guarded, It was not immediately known if guards were posted at the time of the. robbery. "Whoever did the robbery cer- tainly must have known his-way around," said a post office se- curity official. "All the police forces are working on it and we have some good leads." It was believed that the bags were delivered to the airport Thursday night in an armored car and were destined to be sent to bank branches in various parts of the province today. Dorval police said money from at least several chartered banks was taken. They did not name the banks.
