? ? HONG KONG ? A in.ontis alter his arrival in Peking
as the new chief of the U.S. Liaison Office, Thomas
Gates has not been received by any important Chinese
officials.
The Chinese have given Gates, a former secretary
of defense, the cold shoulder treatment apparently to
show their displeasure with some U.S. policies and
possibly with Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger,
Peking-based diplomatic analysts said yesterday.

Rhodesia
Threatens
Wider War
JOHANNESBURG, South
Africa (UPI) ? Premier
Ian Smith said yesterday
that Rhodesia will attack
Mozambique if its troops
actively. assist Rhodesian
black guerrillas intent on
overthrowing his white su-
premacist regime.
In an interview published
in the Johannesburg Star,
Smith said Rhodesia still
has "plenty of manpower
and financial capacity" and
could handle the insurgency
without South Africa's as-
sistance. But he said Preto-
ria's help wbuld be wel-
come.
Smith's statement that
Salisbury will hit back if
Mozambique gets into the
guerrilla campaign was the
first time a senior Rhode-
sian official has threatened
the Marxist-ruled neighbor
with retaliation.
Military sources in Salis-
bury said Mozambican
troops already are provid-
ing backup logistical sup-
port . for the Rhodesian
insurgents, such as provid-
ing transport to the border
before the fighters infiltrate
into Rhodesia.
The Star quoted Smith as
saying. "Rhodesia would
attack Mozambique if its
forc.: joined in the African
natiunalist onsluaght on
Rhodesi2."

It came as Syrian forces
jot g24ebanon dug in on
frontline positions in. the
foothills of Mount Lebanon,
and as Moslem leftist and
Palestinian leaders ap-
pealed to U.N. Secretary
eneral Kurt WaIdhiem for
Op, claiming the Syrians
were "preparing a horrible
massacre.
At the United Nations.
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger said the United
States had not been consult-
ed about Syria's invasion of
Lebanon and had opposed
it.
EGYPT AND Syria gave
conflicting accounts of the
attack on the Egyptian
embassy in Damascus.
Reports from Damascus
said several hundred Arab
students occupied the
Egyptian embassy, burned
its furniture and briefly
took eight embassy official
hostage. They said the
eight men were released in
goad condition when police
arrived.
The Egyptian spokes-
man's version was totally
different.
"At II a.m. today,
numerous Landrovers
carrying Syrian intelli-
gence agents armed with
submachine guns headed
for the Egyptian Relations
Bureau (embassy). They
'surrounded the bureau and
were joined by groups of
gunmen who arrived in
buses," he said.
.The spokesman said they
attacked the embassy and
"destroyed its contents.
smashed up radio and tele-
phone communications fa-
cilities and furniture and
plundered the steel safes.
"They also attacked bu-
reau employes with knives.
injuring one of them who
had to be hospitalized, and
set fire to the offices."
