In London, British Foreign Secretary David Owen announced the outlines of a new U.S.-backed diplomatic initiative, aimed at obtaining agreement between Prime Minister Ian Smith's government and the rival black nationalist factions on a new constitution guaranteeing representation to the country's 6.3 million blacks. A jointly sponsored Rhodesian constitutional conference this summer will be postponed; instead, an Anglo-American "consultative group" will carry on bilateral negotiations with all parties likely to be involved...
