Fort Mvprs vs Pre. Fnd.n- Aus. 2. 1974 i Uganda Prepares For Possible Invasion By Tanzania NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) Uganda announced Thursday night it is going on a war footing and moving troops to its border with Tanzania, Radio Uganda said. It accused Tanzania of preparing to "invade Uganda.

The broadcast said the decision was taken at an emergency meeting of the Uganda Defense Council, headed by President Idi Amin, earlier in the day. the radio, quoting a military spokesman, said several more Tanzanian "spies" had been arrested in the country. It accused Tanzania of sending "agents to spy on Ugandan military installations." The council ordered Uganda's armed forces to go on the alert in preparation for an invasion of northern Tanzania. Elaborating on a possible pre-emptive strike, the military spokesman said, "It might be necessary for Uganda to extend her southern border to the Kagera River, 20 miles inside Tanzania." Sources in the Ugandan capital of Kampala reported about 4,000 Ugandan troops were already in position along the 100-mile border with Tanzania. The troops have been reinforced in the past few days with tanks.

In recent months Uganda has taken delivery of massive arms shipments from the Russians. Amin has boasted often that Uganda is one of the most powerful nations in East Africa, and Tanzania was no match for her. Diplomats in Nairobi expressed doubts Amin would actually mount an invasion of northern Tanzania. One senior Western diplomat dismissed it as "just more saber rattling" by the general. But given Amin's erratic behavior, many analysts said Amin's latest warning must be regarded seriously.

On July 19 Uganda's military government accused Tanzania of sending troops and guerrilla fighters to the border with the aim of attacking Uganda. Tanzania denied the charge. The previous week Amin accused Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere and Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda of plotting to invade Uganda on behalf of Milton Obote, who Amin ousted as Uganda's president in January 1971. Obote has since been living in Tanzania. Relations between Tanzania and Uganda, partners with Kenya in the three-nation East African Community, an economic union, soured after Obote's overthrow.

Supporters of Obote using Tanzania as a base mounted an abortive invasion of their homeland in 1972. Amin warned then that in the event of a renewed conflict, he would pursue the invaders to their bases in Tanzania and destroy them. if Meat, Eggs, Sugar Boost Food Prices In 4 From Page I A Several government investigations have been launched to see why the middleman's share of the beef dollar the amount that goes to the packer and the retailer is rising.

The price of a five-pound bag of granulated sugar has risen since March 1, 1973 by more than 100 per cent from an average of about 70 cents to about $1.65.

An executive of an Albuquerque, N.M., food brokerage, who preferred to remain anonymous, said there have "been 25 (sugar) price increases since the first of the year. There is a large, world demand." The latest survey showed that increases in the marketbasket totals ranged from a fraction of a per cent in New York City to 10 per cent in Miami, Fla. The average increase was 4 per cent. In 11 cities, the bill was higher at the end of July than it was on Jan. 1, 1974, and on the average, prices are 6 per cent" higher than they were- seven months earlier.

The senior GOP member of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Edward Hutchinson of Michigan noted however that the panel's Republican staff is preparing a detailed defense case for the President.

Hutchinson said he is pushing a rule that would permit the House to amend and revise any of the three impeachment articles approved by the committee, but prohibit introduction of any new ones. He said the House action sould be limited to articles on which evidence has already been developed by the committee. There were several indications that a large block of House members are still undecided how-to vote on Impeachment. Many members were seen talking to Judiciary Chairman Peter W. Rodino on Thursday.

Several told newsmen the were merely asking where they could go to get the best evidence. Meanwhile, the Senate Rules Committee decided Wednesday to retain the basic framework of its 106-year-old impeachment trial rules. However, chairman Howard Cannon, said he expects the panel to make some rule changes after hearing proposals from various senators next Monday, and Tuesday. After comparing the current rules, used In the 1868 Impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson, with sweeping proposed changes by Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, panel decided to work from the 'existing rules. Asked if that meant the committee had decided to keep most of them, Cannon replied, "I would interpret it to mean that we would probably Keep a majority of existing rules." Major questions to be resolved include whether to set new standards for what evidence will be allowed and whether to limit Chief Justice Warren E.

Burger's role in the event an impeachment trial of President Nixon is held. Republican Leader Hugh Scott, a Rules Committee member, said he is "very strongly in favor of establishing standards for admissability of evidence." He said he opposes "purely hearsay evidence" but said "we will want to have all available and relevant evidence." In the case of tap erecordings, Scott said he feels "the best evidence" would be the persons involved, rather than the recordings.
