...exile group known as the Union of the Populations of Angola, which maintains its headquarters in the Congo capital of Leopoldville. U.P.A.'s founder and president, a 36-year-old Angolan named Holden Roberto, returned last week to Leopoldville from lobbying around U.N. headquarters in Manhattan to take command of the rebel campaign. Deploring the slayings in Angola, he insisted that his men had been ordered only to begin a campaign of sabotage and general disobedience, but had gotten out of hand when the Portuguese ordered a series of brutal repressions...
