Rested Analysis By DAVID MASON MOSCOW (AP) Western specialists in Moscow find the Soviet Union's latest statement on Angola interesting and even intriguing, but they see no indication of a basic change in the Kremlin's policy toward the civil war in the African country. An editorial Saturday in the Communist party newspaper Pravda called for "termination of foreign armed intervention" in Angola.

It said that the Soviet Union has no military, economic or other designs on the strategically located country. But it said the Soviet Union "has given and continues to give moral and material support" to the Popular Movement for the liberation of Angola (MPLA) aqd. the "lawful government" it has set up in Luanda. This aid, it said, was requested by the Luanda government. The Pravda editorial, it is believed, is directed in large part to the summit meeting on Angola of the 46-nation Organization of African Unity (OAU) opening in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Thursday.

What the Soviets and Cubans are doing is said to be completely disinterested and is done at the "request" of the "lawni'-' government of the People's Republic of Angola. The aid is given "to safeguard that country from aggressive encroachments from -r. Moscow's "principled line" simply repre-. sents continued support for "the national lib-' eration struggle of peoples in general" Vlefe nam was always seen in this context. Once again attempting to clear away any misunderstanding about the Soviets' view about detente, the Pravda editorial said "the relaxation of international tension is far from signifying, and it cannot signify, a freedom of -action for aggressors." The Soviet Union, the editorial went on, "is on the side of the forces which express the national interests of the Angolan people, the interests of Africa's liberation from colonialism." As evidence for this, the article' said that nearly 40 states," including about 20 Afri-can states, have recognized the MPLA govern-' ment.

U.S. State Secretary Henry Kissinger will meet Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin some time this week to try to find out more about Soviet intentions. Despite the Pravda call for an end to foreign armed intervention in Angola, nobody expects the Cuban troops fighting for. the MPLA to fly home, or that the Soviets will pull back their military hardware and the Soviet advisers who presumably went with it. The forces of "imperialism, racism' and reaction" meaning the United States, South Africa and China are attempting "to stifle the new sovereign state of Africa in the cradle," Pravda said.

These forces seek to national, weald) of peoples." OAU swings to Soviet regii By DAVBMcKAY 1 Journal Reporter 'Hull police and firemen donned respirators to rescue seven nightclothes-clad senior citizens from their burning home late Sunday evening. One of the Breton, 94, is in fair condi-tion in Sacred Heart Hospital, suffering from smoke inhalation. The others, Adelard Liver-nois, 88; Emily Doris, 73; Conrad Racine, Conrad Boudreau, 51; Rene 61; and Delia Bollis, 70, were treated and released from hospital. They spent the night private homes, Police and firemen were called to the bungalow at-154 Bourque St. about 11.15 p.m.

Firemen arrived seconds later end rescued the other reHdeots. Chomolsio amhuion-e crrws wraoped "the elderly persons in heavy blanket against a temperature of -24C.

The Angolan civil war is as potentially dangerous to African stability as the Congo crisis was a decade ago. Because of its resources, Angola is a rich prize. But is has become a Political spider's web, enmeshing the future of de- '-tente between the United States and the Soviet Union and the survival of white rule in southern Africa. African leaders, meeting in has recognized the rival "government" Observers suggest the OAU summit will likely extend formal recognition of Neto, perhaps tied to some compromise formula.

Increased African sympathy for the MPLA-added to the supp'ies it has received of Soviet arms and Cuban troops results from South African intervention in support of the two rival groups the National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA) and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola Addis Ababa will decide whether to abide by a previous decision, taken at the Kampala summit of 1975, to support the idea of a government of national unity among Angola's three rival factions or formally recognize the Luanda government- of the Soviet-backed Popular Movement for the Liberation of' Angola (MPLA), led by Dr. Agostinho Neto. Since the Kampala decision, African sentiment appears to be running in favor of the MPLA, with about 20 of the 47 OAU members already recognizing the Neto group.

Twelve are diplomats. Normally, all public attention is on such awards as that of Companion of Honor, second highest possible, to John Diefenbaker.

But this year there is intense interest in the virtually automatic shower of favors Lf men who earn up to seven times the average industrial wage, who advise their ministers that higher, unemployment is an unpleasant necessity and whose departmental empire-building runs public sector spending out of control and taxes ever higher.

He wants the honors stopped" of the current system when he reports that "I a getting representations from managing directors and industrialists complaining about top managers going to the civil service in non-productive jobs."

The new law allows police to issue a summons to the person in charge of any store which breaks the law. Smaller stores, tobacconists, pharmacies, gas stations and antique stores are from the-i regulations. Some supermarket owners in Toronto are protesting the new law on the grounds it discriminates against owners' who have only one or two supermarkets.

"To me, a chain such as Beckers that has' 500 small stores is a lot larger than a company that -has eight medium-sized stores," one owner said.
