KINGSTON, JAMAICA On the morning after Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley told the World Council of Churches "I feel impelled to assist the Liberation armies in their struggle," The Kingston Gleaner published a Reuters report that 22 more people had been killed in Rhodesia, including five black civilians and one white civilian.

One day later, came another dispatch, reporting that the body of a Roman Catholic priest was found riddled with bullets near the Rhodesi-an road where he was making parochial calls.
