Cuban troops are active in at least a half
dozen African nations as agents' of a
Soviet attempt to recolonize the con
tinent, U.S. Ambassador Daniel P.
Moynihan charged yesterday.
Referring specifically to the former
Portuguese colony of Angola, Moynihan
told reporters at a hastily called news
conference, "The Cubans are acting as
agents for the Soviets."
Another U.S. official said Cuban
military forces were also in the MRldle
East nations of Southern Yemen and
Syria.
That official said Cuban troops were
in the nations of Guinea-Bissau, Guinea,
Equatorial Guinea, Namibia, South
West Africa Congo, and Somalia, as well
as Angola. Moynihan himself did not
Anti-Kissinger action dropped
WASHINGTON (UPI) The House
Intelligence Committee, reporting
"substantial compliance" with its
demand for information on covert U.S.
activities abroad, yesterday dropped its
contempt action against Secretary of
State Henry A. Kissinger.
Rep. Otis Pike, - D-N.Y., the committee
chairman, announced the decision after
three panel members and two staff
assistants received an oral briefing at
the White Houie Timsday evening on
intelligence data which had been sub
poenaed.
There was no objection from the other
12 committee members when Pike said
during an open meeting that the con
tempt issue is "moot" and that "it is my
intention to go before the House and
state that if there isno objection we have
substantial com
lince."

The U.S. ambassador had said
Monday the assembly would be telling a

Portugal last month.
He called instead for support of an
amendment supported by Zaire, which

Heinz joins race for Senate seat
PITTSBURGH (AP) U.S. Rep. H. John Heinz 111,
one of the Republican party's bright young stars, for
mally announced yilsterday he will seek the seat of
another GOP luminary—retiring Sen. i Hugh Scott.
Heinz' announcement had been expected for weeks
and came six days after Scott, the 7-year-old Senate
minority leader, said he would not run' for re-election in
1976.
"I run for the Senate because I believe we need a new
generation of leadership," Heinz told newsmen in
prepared remarks.
"There is something absolutely wrong with gover
nment when regulations, come to mean more than
people, when problem after problem remains unsolved.
"Something is desperately wrong when Americans
lose confidence in their leaders, in their institutions,
and even in themselves." .

Veto fight for tax
WASHINGTON (UPI) The Senate
Finance Committee yesterday approved
14 to 4 a six-month extension of 1975 tax
cuts, setting up a veto fight by sweeping
aside President Ford's proposed $395
billion fiscal 1977 spending ceiling.
Two of the committee's seven
Republicans Sens. Bob Packwood of
Oregon an Bill Brock of Tennessee
deserted Ford on an 11-5 vote not to
include the spending ceiling in the bill,
and four Republicans voted for the final
bill. •

shortly before Moynihan's news con

"The Soviet imperialists were lucky to
avoid a vote this time;" Moynihan said.
The 'Soviet Union has sent military aid
to the Popular Movement' for the
Liberation of Angold, which the
estimated 3,000 Cuban troops support.
The United States has' supported a
rival group, the National Front for the

Scott's office denied the charges in a brief stkgment,
the senator said he would not comment further on the
matter and he has been unavailable to reporters
recently.
"I speak here today for John Heinz and as a member
of Congress not as anyone's mouthpiece. Ithink Sen.
Scott owes the people what he feels inclined to give
them," Heinz said.
He also chided the media for asking candidates what
they think about Scott's situation. "Senator Scott is not
an issue in this campaign," he said.

tax rates at exactly the same' level
through next June. The committee, in
fact, voted not to change withholding
tables at all.
The bill is expected to reach the Senate
floor next week where it is assured of
passage. It then must be reconciled with
a similar House tax cut, after which it
goes to the White House for an almost
certain Presidential veto.
A number of Republicans apparently
