Since her appearance at

Her voice and style have not

necessity for unification and
coordination became ap-

Soviet Union sent as many as
100,000 troops into
Afghanistan to crush the
rebellion and support the coup
that eliminated President
Hafizullah Amin and replaced
him with Babrak Karmal, a
more pliable Russian proxy.
Pentagon sources in
Washington said the fighting
since the Soviet intervention
has been fiercest in the nor-
theastern part of Afghanistan,
bordering the Soviet Union,
Pakistan and China. The
sources in Washington said
the Soviets may need 5,000
reinforcements there to make
up for Afghan army defections
to the rebels. More Soviet
troops were landed at Kabul
airport over the weekend, ac-
cording to American reporters
expelled by the new govern-
ment.
The Kabul correspondent of
Prensa Latina, the Cuban
news agency, reported that an
Afghan official told him

The Cuban correspondent
said the Afghan government
also fears an attack across the
Pakistani border.
“According to official
spokesman, American,
British and Chinese advisers
are training a contingent of
more than 70,000 soldiers (in
Pakistan) for an operation
against Afghanistan,” the
Cuban report said.
Chinese Foreign Minister
Huang Hua, who is on a visitto «
Pakistan, and Pakistani
President Mohammed Zia ul-
Haq visited a camp for Afghan
refugees near the border Sun-
day. Huang reiterated his
government’s support for the
Moslem rebels and said it
would also aid the refugees in
Pakistan, now estimated to
total 440,000.
In Washington, President
Carter said he is prepared to
use military force to protect

WASHINGTON (AP) -
President Carter says he ex-
pects the U.S. Olympic Com-
mittee will go along with his
call for an American boycott
of the Summer Olympics in
Moscow if the Soviet Union
has not withdrawn its troops
from Afghanistan by Feb. 20.
Carter has no legal authori-
ty to dictate a boycott and the
U.S. committee will meet next
weekend in Colorado Springs,
Colo., to consider the presi-
dent’s request.
’ Carter outlined his proposal
Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the
Press.” Asked afterward if he
thought the U.S. committee take effect if the IOC ignores
would abide by his request, he the president’s appeal for a
“We don’t want to abdicate
our position in the IOC,” Kane
said. “To boycott would take
us out of that.”
Douglas F. Roby of Ypsilan-
ti, Mich., a past president of
the USOC and a U.S. represen-
tative on the international
committee, told The
Washington Post in reaction to
the president’s call: “ ‘That’s
it.’ If the Soviets aren’t out of
there in 30 days, we probably
won’t go. ...We certainly have
to obey the command of our
government and our presi-
dent, I feel. I’m sure the Inter-
national Olympic Committee
would not accept moving the
Games at this late date, or
global boycott, as seems
highly likely.
The IOC will meet in Lake
Placid, N.Y., in mid-.
February, just before the
Winter Olympics begin in that
city.
For now, however, the focus
is on the U.S. Olympic Com-
mittee, which will attempt to
poll some 10,000 prospective
American Olympic athletes to
help the 86 voting members of
the USOC’s executive board*
decide on Carter’s proposal.
USOC President Robert
Kane said he was pleased that
Carter made his appeal to the
IOC rather than calling for a
unilateral American boycott;
'' Monday January 21,1588
postponing them.”
After the president announc-
ed his proposal, Moscow
Radio called Carter’s proposal
“futile” and accused him of
trying to revive the Cold War.
Carter’s television ap-
pearance was dominated by
questions about the impact of
the Afghanistan situation. He
•said many responsible Iranian
officials now see the Soviet ac-
tion in a neighboring country
as a “major threat to Iran’s
security,”.
As a rdsult, Carter predicted
those officials will propose
“additional measures” to \
secure the release of the 50
American hostages in Tehran.

Carter calls for Olympic boycott
said,‘‘I think so?’
Carter, intensifying his at-
tempts to punish the Soviet
Union for its intervention in
Afghanistan, called on the In-

tee to boycott the Moscow
games or transfer them to
another site if Soviet troops
are still in Afghanistan a
month from now.
Presidential Counsel Lloyd
Cutler said he anticipates that
Canada, Great Britain and
West Germany will support
Carter’s position.
