France and Egypt lent air support. Zairean President Mobutu Sese Seko, who is pro-Western, was meeting urgently Sunday with his army chief of staff, AZAP said. Mobutu also met with foreign ambassadors and, according to an administration official, seemed confident his forces would prevail in the latest fighting. Apparently, he made no specific new requests for aid and did not indicate that he would go to the United Nations Security Council. bassadors of the United States, France, Belgium, Morocco and China.

Carter administration officials expressed concern Sunday reports of, the invastion. While the situation was not being described in terms of a crisis, it was clear that the administration was worried, particularly at the reports that Cubans based in Angola were helping the invading force. In Washington, a State Department spokeswoman said, "We are in touch with our diplomatic personnel in that part of the world. We are watching the situation and are trying to sort out the facts." She said she had no information about any Americans who might be in the area. Scores of American and Europeans are in the region as KINSHASA, Zaire (AP) Ka-tangan rebels have invaded mineral-rich Shaba province of the central African nation of Zaire for the second time in 14 months, Zaire reported Sunday.

Fighting was still raging Sunday night, a report from the Belgian consulate in Lubumbashi said. In a dispatch received in Brussels, Belgium, the official Zaire news agency AZAP said the invaders included Cubans and they filtered across Zaire's southern border from Zambia. The Belgian Foreign Ministry said the attackers came from Angola, on Zaire's southwestern flank, and occupied part of the copper-mining center of Kolwezi.

One of those was owner Pete Miranda, who was leaning back against a wall, hoping an elderly maintenance man who was unidentrifed had not been trapped in the fire.

"How would you feel?" he said, disgusted. "I have no idea how it started. I presume he (the maintenance man) is the one that called it in. I imagine he had sense enough to get out." Mrs. Bonnie Wink.

She and her husband had heard the bulletin on the 11 o'clock news and had rushed the few blocks from their home to see the fire. "We were one of the first ones here," she said. "You could see the shell of the dining room, because the fire was breaking through a hole.

"It's creating its own wind," said one fire official. "It's sucking the air in to feed itself." It was the worst kind of fire to fight. The fire actually started on the water side of the building. On the other side was a high metal fence that prevented the trucks from getting in. The only way to go at it was from the front, with a snorkel, and from an angle with two-inch extension hoses.

Eddie Campbell and Darrell Hingson were the two firmen picked to go up in the snorkel. Protected by air packs and face masks, they were extended out over the fire, facing straight into the tornodo, looking down on an "It looked like a lot of heat," Campbell said, his face blackened, his eyes red and moist. "A lot of smoke and a lot of fire." The smoke, which stretched across the nighttime sky and first attracted Fort Myers policeman Larry Fair, who report east of the Angolan border.

"I'm not sure they completely understand even now what's going on," said Eleanor Phillips, who became friends with the couple while purchasing fresh eggs from them.

"I don't know how you explain they are breaking the law when their only offense is working too hard for people their age." It was explained to Miecierz and Mrs. Sorkau that they had to clean up their yard, which they immediately did. No cans or bottles lie around, the yard has been raked and hibiscus are blooming under the large rubber trees around the small modest structure they call home. With Bill Neil, 60, of Fort Myers acting as interpreter, Mrs. Sorkau said the couple's troubles began when Thomas F.

Durkin, owner of a real estate business adjoining the north side of their property, attempted to purchase their house and land to build a parking lot. "We're old people no car and no way to go and our hearts are here," said Mrs: Sorkau. "We have nowhere to take our chickens and we starve without them." Durkin subsequently filed a complaint with the zoning department, according to zoning officials, accusing the couple of maintaining a junkyard. Repeated attempts to contact Durkin were ignored and he did not return telephone calls. Robert Geary, the zoning official assigned to investigate the complaint, said the yard was in disarray when he inspected the area.

"There were cans, bottles, junk of all kinds scattered all over the year," Geary said. "I had no choice but to cite them." Geary put a case together and turned it over to the state attorney's office. Miecierz and Mrs. Sorkau will be arraigned on charges of raising fowl and maintaining a junkyard in county court today at 1:30 p.m. The judge will set a trial date at that time.

"It's a pathetic case," Neil said. "They're independant, proud people who work hard to support themselves. "All they've ever known is suffering and they've never interfered or tried to harm a living soul. "Just doesn't seem right somehow." Neil shook his head as he looked around the yard with its wire fences for chicks and ducklings. Older chickens and ducks are allowed to roam freely around the yard, scratching and pecking under the large trees.

The Washington Post WASHINGTON A federal task force, declaring that all Americans have a right to housing they can afford, has recommended that the government lead a concerted attack on high land, development and construction costs.

It calls for cutting red tape in the building codes and relaxing environmental and zoning restrictions. The task force does not propose a national policy on zoning and land use, traditionally a local perogative, but it recommends that the federa government set guidelines in such matters and threaten to cut off funds as a last resort. One source said the recommendations, to go to Housing and Urban Development Secretary Patricia Roberts Harris by June 1, will provoke "a firestorm of controversy." This source said a proposal that HUD should tell localities not to require that garages be built with new houses, and not to ban trailer homes, "will never fly." However, a HUD official said the task-force recommendations "could lead to a stronger working partnership between us and city and state governments."
