SALISBURY, Rhodes-
ia (UPI) - Marxist
guerrilla leader Robert
Mugabe Tuesday won a
stunning absolute
majority to lead the new
country of Zimbabwe
emerging from seven
years of bloody civil war.

Lord Soames,
Rhodesia’s British interim
governor, immediately
summoned Mugabe, who
had not been expected to
win an absolute majority,
for a meeting to form a
new government.

Britain will follow the

Large crowds of blacks
gathered in the streets,
cheering and _ imitating
roosters - Mugabe's
symbol for the two-month
election campaign.

The election triumph
gave Mugabe 57 of the
100 seats in the in-
dependence Parliament.
His victory was all the
more remarkable since
nine parties contested the
80 seats reserved for
blacks.

Alderman Mary Segal
queried MacDonald about
communications, which she

“felt would be a major factor
in any Situation.

The question of com-
munications was also raised
by Alderman Gordon Cross
in North Vancouver City
council's discussion of a
coordinated emergency
contingency plan.

Cross said that in the 1975

problem'' as no two
emergency services could

talk to each other on the
same wavelength.

Cross said this was one of
the reasons a co-ordinated
North Shore emergency plan
under one coordinator was
necessary.

BETTER PREPARED

Mayor Jack Loucks said
that in the last two years a lot
of work has been done and
he said “we are a lot better
prepared than we were in
1975.”

Cross said the provincial
government has been urging
the three municipalities to
get together and complete a

coordinated plan.

All City council members
present agreed that a
committee consisting of the
fire chief, police chief, and
engineer of each
municipality, and the
coordinator of the North and
West Vancouver Emergency
Program should be formed.

This committee will
recommend a basic coor-
dinated area emergency plan
and operational procedure
to the executive committee
of the emergency program.

Cross felt that Jeff Jefferd
could be freed from his role
of supervising the volunteers
in the Emergency Program
and could provide leadership
for the coordinated
emergency plan.

Both West Vancouver and
North Vancouver District
also gave their support to the
formation of the committee.

West Vancouver
Aiderman John Humphnes
said the lack of technical
input into the operation of a
coordinated disaster plan 1s
the great disadvantage so
far.

“So all we have is a resctle™

team,” he said.

“We need more
dinated effort and that is
what we hope to achieve
with this motion.”

District council felt that
the new committee should
also. coordinate with its
counterpart in the Greater
Vancouver Regional
District.
