Staunton, Leader, Tuesday, Jan. 9, 1973 9: Rhodesia has new Liberation Army Quint births are 'miracle' father says .71 LONDON (AP) Under a moonless sky on the night of Dec. 21 ragged-trousered raiders opened fire with rockets and bullets on Marc De Borch-grave's lonely farm house in the Zambezi Valley of Rhodesia. Two nights later the black guerrillas struck again, against neighbor Archie Dagleish's place, where the De Borch-graves had taken refuge. Within a few hours, a Jeep-load of four Rhodesian soldiers taking part in a big sweep ran over a land mine.

The world's newest "liberation army" was in action. It even has its own Ho Chi Minn Trail, from base camps in neighboring. Mozambique to the sunbaked bush-lands of northeast Rhodesia, 120 miles north of Salisbury, limo. By ambushes, night raids, mining of roads and railroads, Frelimo for years has pinned down thousands of Portuguese troops. New fighting in northeast Rhodesia also creates yet another front for Smith's limited forces.

Already he has 1,000 miles of frontier to defend eastward against incursions from Frelimo units in Mozambique, to the northwest against Zanla raids from Zambia, and on the southwest where Rhodesia meets Botswana. He is being helped by South African police units, and he is pressing for ever fiercer action by Portuguese forces. This week Smith called up army, police and air force reservists to meet the developing emergency. The British are hoping that time and experience will yet convince Smith's regime that kvA Vll The Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army, or Zan-la, has vowed to wrest Rhodesia which it calls Zimbabwe from the grip of Premier Ian Smith's white minority government. Since they still hope to play a role in Rhodesia, the British are following with great interest these developments in the African territory that declared its independence in 1965.

British experts think the black guerrillas have' a long way to go and a lot to learn before they can pose any real threat to Smith's forces. In eight years of sporadic campaigning, they have achieved little, Yet authorities here acknowledge the danger to the white regime is certain to increase as Zanla improves its techniques and its links with rebel movements in neighboring countries. The nearest and strongest of these is the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique, or Fre- JiL Gardner guessed the infants would spend two months in Evanston Hospital, a referral center for premature and high risk babies. He said all five children were receiving milk via nasal and gastric tubes and their color was good. "Their chances for survival are quite good," he said.

Mrs. Baer was reported in excellent condition in Highland Park Hospital. Baer said he has had one "commercial offer" involving the infants and that he has not had the time to think about the added financial responsibilities. Recalling the moments during the birth of the quints, Baer said, "When I heard a doctor say, "My God, there's another EVANSTON, 111. (AP) -James Baer says his house is "short five bedrooms" but he still calls the birth of quintuplets to his wife a "miracle and a blessing." "I don't know what one baby costs, let alone five," Baer told newsmen Monday at Evanston Hospital, where the five-day-old quints were rushed shortly after their birth Friday in Highland Park Hospital.

The three girls and two boys born to his wife, Lynn, 26, were the Baers' first children. The 3 0-year-old Northbrook stockbroker confirmed reports that his wife had taken fertility drugs and added, "If we had it to do over again, we would have repeated everything we've done. My wife and I wanted a family more than anything in the world and God knows we finally succeeded. The infants, ranging in weight from 1 pound, 11 ounces to 2 pounds, 14 ounces, are "beyond the most difficult period" said Dr. Thomas Gardner, the neonatology specialist caring for them.

(AP) Sen. John J. Sparkman says he believes quick legislation 'will erase about two-thirds of what he terms the serious impact resulting from President Nixon's order for an 18-month freeze on subsidized housing starts. The freeze was announced Monday by Secretary George W.

Romney of the Department of Housing and Urban Development as both he and Sparkman, an Alabama Democrat, spoke at the 29th convention of the National Association of Home Builders. Romney said a temporary holding action on new commitments for water and sewer grants, open space grants and cific commitments will be approved. But Sparkman, Rep. Wright Patman, and home building officials viewed the actions as abuse by the executive branch of its power to impound appropriated funds. Sparkman, chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, said the housing freeze will have a serious impact during the remainder of the current fiscal year.

"But I am hopeful Congress will have acted on legislation by then that will negate the last 12 months of the moratorium," Sparkman told newsmen prior to appearing on the same platform with Romney. "I should think we could get Continued from Page 1 Creek dam as a water supply source, and heard an interim report from Dr. Malcolm H.

Patman, chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee, spoke before Rom-ney's announcement, but he commented on rumors of an 18-month moratorium on subsidized housing starts. He said waste and corruption may be involved in some of the housing programs, -but he added, "It is silly, and destructive, to think these ills can be cured by a meat-ax."

At one point during the discussion after Woodrow O. Hewitt, freshman member of the commission, made a motion to rezone the property behind the Angus Country Lodge to A-l residential, Mr. Tiffany offered to withdraw the entire request. To rezone this tract, he noted, would thwart the construction of the 72-unit lodge for which a special use permit has been issued. "I come here without strong feelings," Mr.

Tiffany stated. "If the people want A-2, leave it." Mr. Tiffany he could erect several less expensive homes on the small tract behind the proposed lodge instead of townhouses.
