He reminded reporters that he had predicted a Patriotic Front victory during the peace negotiations in London last year, which produced a formula for a cease-fire and elections that the white leader denounced at the time as heavily weighted in favor of the guerrillas.

Mugabe, like dozens of other nationalists, spent 11 years in detention under the Smith government. But yesterday Smith declined to predict what sort of government Mugabe would give the country, saying he knew too little of the man. "Unfortunately I have had very little contact with and very little experience of the prime minister-elect and his party and cannot speak with authority," he said. The white leader said that his concern for the future rested not on the personalities in the new government but on the possibility that they would try to remake the country along Marxist lines. On a personal basis, he said, he was ready to try to work with the new administration, even in the cabinet, if Mugabe were to offer him a position and he were persuaded that in doing so he would be serving the country.

"The question of living with and working with our enemies has ever been a problem for white Rhodesians," he said. "This we accepted years ago. However, the question of living with a different political philosophy, one which has always been alien to the Western world, was always a problem, and after the election results remains the big question mark." Smith added a word of praise for Mugabe, saying he had been "forthright and when the two men met on Monday, as the scale of Mugabe's election triumph became clear. He advised whites to adopt a "wait-and-see" attitude, to determine whether Mugabe was sincere in his pledge to see racial reconciliation and avoid retirbution against whites for the past. New York Timet Newt Service SALISBURY, Rhodesia Declaring that "living with and working with our enemies has never been a problem," former Prime Minister lan D.

Smith yesterday declared his availability to serve in the cabinet of Robert Mugabe, the man whose guerrilla army forced Smith to abandon his bid to uphold white minority rule. Smith, seated beneath a portrait of himself at the headquarters of his Rho-desian Front party, declared his position as Mugabe completed negotiations with Joshua Nkomo, his nationalist ally, on the formation of a coalition government. The division of portfolios between the two leaders' parties will be announced today, with the names of the men filling the posts following early next week. Inclusion of Smith in the government is improbable. However, Mugabe has said he intends to invite one or two whites to join his govervnment as a gesture of reassurance to the white minority, and the likelihood is that the posts will go to men who served in the white regime without incurring the opprobrium among blacks that attached to Smith.

A leading candidate is David Smith (no relation), who was finance minister of the Smith government for its last five years. Until yesterday, Ian Smith had withheld comment on the sweeping election victory by Mugabe, whose party took 57 of 80 black seats in the new parliament, with Nkomo taking 20 and Smith's ally, Bishop Abel T. Muzorewa, taking three. During the short-lived coalition government that he formed with Muzorewa last year, Smith maintained that the bishop and his associates were the authentic representatives of the country's seven million blacks. But yesterday he had no words of sympathy for the bishop, who is said by aides to be considering leaving the country for an ecclesiastical appointment, possibly in the United States.

Instead, the white leader offered what amounted to hand of friendship to Mugabe, a man whom he described on at least one occasion in the past as a Obituaries Ai ffi" Jt River Report Rivers In the Pittsburgh district were rising slightly and will continue to rise over the next 2 hours.

The union and authority have been negotiating for several months. The old pact expired Dec. 1, and the employees are now working under an extension. That extension provided for the 22-cent cost-of-living adjustment as it did for a 25-cent hourly adjustment in December. The authority agreed to continue the cost-of-living provision after the union said its members would remain on the job.

That averted a shutdown of the area's mass transit system at the height of the Christmas shopping season. The existing extended contract was reached through arbitration in 1977. The union said yesterday negotiations are continuing and could possibly go on during the arbitration. 47 cents under the extension. Actual wage increases under the old agreements amounted to 70 cents an hour.

The authority estimates current labor costs at $4.32 an hour. The union is resisting PAT's attempts to modify the cost-of-living provision. Officials of the authority and Division 85 have selected Lawrence E. Seibel, a Washington lawyer and veteran arbitrator, as the neutral member of a three-member arbitration board. Joe Manse Division 85 president, will represent the union and John Dugan, a Pittsburgh lawyer, will represent the authority on the arbitration panel.

The arbitration decision will be binding. The hearings, which will be closed to the public, will begin April 2. The meet The Port Authority's 2,500 bus and trolley operators and mechanics will get a cost-of-living increase of 22 cents an hour tomorrow just three weeks before an arbitrator begins hearings on their demand for a new contract. The 22-cent increase, which will raise the hourly pay to $9.62, comes under an extension reached in December. It was then that PAT agreed to continue cost-of-living benefits during negotiations.

However, PAT's effort in negotiations to modify the cost-of-living provision is one reason the demands of Division 85 Amalgamated Transit Union are going to arbitration. Under the cost-of-living provision in the old contract, union drivers and mechanics received pay adjustments amounting to $1.39 an hour, plus another Jack Sack, 78, a former All-America football guard at the University of Pittsburgh, died yesterday in Montefiore Hospital after a long illness. Sack, the owner of Pittsburgh Office Furniture and Equipment, 332 Blvd. of the Allies, Downtown, played at Pitt under coach Pop Warner from 1919 to 1923. He played pro football with the Canton Bulldogs after college, one of his teammates being Jim Thorpe.

Sack was a member of Masonic Lodge 705 He is survived by his wife Minne a daughter, Joan Pakula; two brothers, Frank and Paul; two sisters, Ann Teplitz and Bessie Bernstein; and two grandchildren.

(AP) Paul Brawer, freed before the end of his sentence from a Soviet prison camp where he was sent for a heroin smuggling conviction, says the camp was not as bad as some described by Soviet dissidents.

Brawer is reluctant to give much detail, for fear of jeopardizing two other American prisoners who were sentenced in 1976 on the drug smuggling charges. Brawer was sentenced to five years in prison on Aug. 27, 1976, but was freed early and left the Soviet Union on March 1, the U.S. Embassy in Moscow said yesterday. His release was not explained.

Still in prison are Gerald R. Amster of New York City, sentenced to eight years, and Dennis Burn of Whitestone, N.Y., sentenced to seven years. At his Las Vegas home yesterday, Brawer said, "I've had trouble adjusting to the American food. I have dysentery. So I decided to make something like I ate there." He added, however, "You wouldn't have had chicken in this dish in the Soviet labor camp.

"In general, the military regime (in the camp) was not quite as tough as in the other camps," he said. At first, he said, the camp for non-Soviets was severely overcrowded and food was inadequate. But after a prisoner protest, Soviet officials replaced wood-burning stoves with a central heating system and built a new mess hall. Lapsing frequently into Russian as he talked, he said he never was allowed to forget that the Soviet theory of rehabilitation is correction through labor. He worked long hours in a factory making small wooden stools found in many Russian homes.

Mr. Gabel, 84, of 279 Newburn Drive, Mt. Lebanon, died Thursday (March 6) in the Negley House, Shadyside. WASHINGTON (AP) Nuclear Regulatory Commission investigators reaffirmed yesterday there was no evidence that operators of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant attempted to cover up the seriousness of last year's accident. Instead, they said information gaps during the accident probably were caused by "confusion and lack of competence." Private lawyers Mitchell Rogovin and George T.

Frampton hired by the NRC to investigate last year's accident near Harrisburg, had reported their findings in January. But the NRC, at the urging of Rep. Morris Udall, requested a closer look. Udall was particularly concerned with the failure of Metropolitcan Edison the plant operators, to tell the NRC quickly about high temperature readings that should have signaled severe reactor overheating, or about a hydrogen explosion in the reactor building, which indicated severe fuel damage. The company first described the accident as relatively minor, in which equip ment malfunctioned and the reactor of Three Mile Island Unit 2 shut itself down.

The company soon acknowledged possible fuel damage, but the full extent of damage and prolonged danger became apparent to the NRC only gradually over the next few days. Since then, NRC investigations, a Police Seek Clues In Janitor's Death Homicide detectives yesterday continued seeking clues into the death of a janitor at the Veterans Administration Hospital in the East End, whose body was found near the hospital. Calvin Taylor, 45, of 529 Winfield East Liberty, was last seen Dec. 27 at the hospital where he had worked for 15 years, according to Joseph Carson, a supervisor. Taylor's decomposed body was found Thursday in a wooded area near Leech Farm Road, about 300 yards from the hospital, by a man walking his dog.

presidential panel and the Rogovin team revealed that the plant was brought to the brink of disaster by a series of mechanical failures compounded by operator confusion and mistakes. The Rogovin report last Jan. 24 estimated that operators acted to save the plant from a possible meltdown of its radioactive core with only 30 to 60 minutes to spare. "We found no direct evidence of willful withholding of critical information," the Rogovin-Frampton memo said. Their study concluded that there was "a lack of technical competency by site employees to diagnose and cope with an accident." In New York, the head of President Carter's Three Mile Island Public Information Task Force said the press should hire experts to report such accidents.

David M. Rubin, associate professor of journalism at New York University, said industry officials should hang up on ill-informed reporters. Many reporters at Three Mile Island were poorly versed in atomic energy technology, he said. Dr. Michael J.

Herk Dr. Michael J. Herk, 67, a retired assistant superintendent for the Ringgold School District, died yesterday. Dr. Herk of 301 Allen Donora was principal of Donora Senior High School for 25 years and served as chairman of the W'PIAL football committee.
