New York Tlmes SALISBURY, Rhodesia, Nov. 27 - A Rhodesian journalist said today that policemen searched his office and home and took hbn to the police sta- tiori because of a report he wrote about an explosion on Nov. 15 on the Mozambique- Malawi railroad. The journalist, Peter Niese- wand, who represents United Press International and the British Broadcasting Corpora- tion, issued a statement in which he refused to disclose the source of his information. According to Mr. Niesewand, the police seized some of his papers, photographed him, took his fingerprints and sent the papers to the attorney general for a decision on whether he should be prosecuted.
