(AP) Liberia proposed today that the leaders of all political groups in the Congo meet with the U.N. Security Council and Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold in an effort to avert a threatened civil war. . Liberian Ambassador George Padmore, one of the two African members of the 11-natton council, laid before the council a sugges tion made earlier in the week by Liberian President William Tub man. He proposed that the peace parley be held either at U.N. headquarters, in the Congo or in a neighboring country. Padmore spoke as his delega tion continued working behind the scenes with representatives of the United Arab Republic and Ceylon, the other African and Asian mem- Nasser Voice Denies Congo Arms Report CAIRO (AP) One of President Gamal Abdel Nasser's chief news paper voices today denied a re port that U.A.R. trucks loaded with arms had crossed the Sudan to the pro-Communist rebel re gime in the northern Congo. The diplomatic editor of the semiofficial Middle East News Agency said the report proves U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk's "ignorance of the map of the world." The New York Times reported lodav that Rusk had told key members of Congress at a private meeting that the greatest danger in the Congo lies in the efforts made by "Nasser's Cairo govern ment to send arms and other sup port to the regime established by Antoine Gizenga." Rusk's information, the Times aid, was that "thus far the Su dan has blocked traffic of all but a trickle of supplies from the United Arab Republic." But the Times quoted other sources as having said that three weeks ago 10 trucks loaded with arms from the U.A.R. were shipped to Port Sudan and "made their way by obscure route across the Sudan" to Stanleyville, Gizcn ga's headquarters. "They appear to have gone through, contrary to the Sudanese government's orders, by the con nivance of subordinate officials." The Middle East agency editor said the new U.S. secretary of state "must know by now that the U.A.R, defined its attitude to the Congo issue with all clarity since the first day when imperialist countries started to hatch a seri ous conspiracy aiming at depriv ing the Congolese people of their independence and breaking their national unity." Goose Refuge Plan Gets Opposition CORVAIXIS (AP)-A plan to locate a 5,000-acre refuge south of here for Canada geese has run into soma stiff opposition. The V. S. Fish and- Wildlife Sprvice outlined the plan at a public meeting that drew about 130 persons, mostly farmers. Opposition was voiced on the grounds that Benton County al ready has a considerable amount of tax-exempt public lands. Vernon Cheldelin, member of the Corvallis school board, said county taxpayers now "pick up the tab" on some SSO million true cash value of public land. David Marshal, biologist for the Wildlife Service, said .some 15.000 Canada geese now winter in Ben ton County. Purpose of the' refuge would be to maintain the goose population at about that figure, he said. Ji$i Plans Revision Of Living Cost Index NEW YORK (AP)-How much dues your family spend and for what?

A flurry of diplomatic activity raised cautious hopes of averting a direct East-West clash in the African republic stemming from the slaying of Patrice Lumumba. The three African-Asian mem bers of the 11-nation council neu tralist Ceylon, pro-Western Liberia and the left-leaning United Arab Republic were expected to put forward today a compromise res olution backed by 18 other coun tries. Force Urged Basically, the emergency sec tion of the proposed resolution 1. Urged U. N. troops in the Congo to use force if necessary to prevent civil war; 2. Demanded Belgian and other non-U. N. foreign military person nel, mercenaries and political ad visers leave the Congo immedi ately; 3. Called on all countries to pre vent such personnel from going there, and 4. Called for an immediate and impartial investigation into Lu mumba's death. Some supporters of the African Asian plan were counting on a united front of the nations from their two continents to bring the big powers into line. Other dip lomats feared the Soviet Union would remain adamant in its op position to U. N. action and veto the resolution. Negotiations Begun From the Congo came a report that Congo President Joseph Ka savubu's new premier, Joseph Ileo, has begun negotiating with rival political leaders to broaden his new Leopoldville government into a coalition. The 11-nation U.N. Conciliation Commission sent to the Congo by Secretary-General Dag Hammar skjold before Lumumba's death also submitted recommendations echoing the Asian-African draft resolution, A long-range section urged that the Congolese Parliament sus pended last September after Pres ident Kasavubu fired Patrice Lu mumba as premier be con vened immediately and that all Congolese armed units be reor ganized and brought under disci pline and control to keep them from interfering in politics.

The winds were so fierce the men couldn't put up a shelter tent. They credited a Briton with them. Dr. Brian Roberts, with saving their lives by directing the building of a crude stone wind break. The men huddled in sleeping bags behind the windbreak for two days and three nights without food and water before helicopters from the Navy ice breakers Stat en Island and Glacier were able to pick them up Wednesday, The Navy, telling the story Thursday, said the ordeal cracked the hands and lips of the men and even blackened their eyes, but caused no serious injury. The helicopters, from the Navy's Bellinghauses sea exped i t i o n, were able to make the rescue when the' storm subsided a little. Dr. Roberts, a veteran of polar exploration, was the British ob server with the expedition. The Americans marooned with him were Lt. Cmdr, James C.

Ocean Vessels Collide In Fog LONDON (AP) Eight ships, including the 10,687-ton American freighter Ocean Evelyn, were in volved in collisions during the night around the fog-shrouded coasts of Europe. A ninth went aground. Distress reports flashed in to harrassed Coast Guard stations to climax 48 nightmare hours of ship ping chaos. The Ocean Evelyn, registered from New York, and the Dutch vessel Amslelhoek collided off England's Kent Coast. Both were groping through the blanket of tlie American ship were injured. The 12,729-ton Norwegian tanker Raila and the 10.056-lon West Ger man freighter Bochum crunched together five miles out in the nar row straits of Dover. One German crewman was killed, another in jured. The Bochum was badly holed and tugs -stood by, wailing for the fog to lift. Off nearby Dungeness the Brit ish ships Beech Hill, 7,130 tons, and Formality, 410 tons, collided. The Beech Hill, damaged above the waterline, anchored to await assistance. A British Navy auxiliary vessel grounded at Dungeness. Another ship waited to tow the stranded vessel off at high tide.

Informants said Foreign Minis ter Heinrich von Brentano was in structed to tell President Kennedy at today's meeting in Washington that new negotiations probably will result in a more favorable offer. Adenauer has let U.S. Ambassa dor Walter C. Cowling know that he is perturbed about the continu ing dispute between Washington and Bonn over how West Germa ny can help stop the U.S. outflow of gold, these informants report ed. There was no confirmation from either the West Germany govern ment or the U.S. Embassy, Diplomatic sources said Aden auer wants to end the Bonn-Washington squabble and has told his finance and economics experts to be more realistic in seeking a so lution. The chancellor was described as aggravated over Economics Min ister Ludwig Erhard s statement in Vienna last week that West Germany's last offer of less than a billion dollars was the absolute maximum, Adenauer is said to disagree with the economics ministry that the U.S. problem is temporary and can be helped by a one-time payment. A U.S. official in Bonn declared, "It is a mistake for the Germans to assume our problem" is tempo rary." He pointed out that a major source of the dollar drain is the $700 million U.S. troops and their dependents in Germany cost the United States each year. He add ed his belief that West Germany is beginning to recognize this point. . ... . .- . :v Kenned Seeks $33 Million WASHINGTON (AP) President Kennedy today asked Congress tor an additional $33 million for un employment compensation pay ments for former federal em ployes and ex servicemen. The White House said present funds will be exhausted about March 1. The supplemental appropriation was asked for the Labor Depart ment which handles the payments. Kennedy's request is on top of $37 million in supplemental funds asked by former President Dwight D. Eisenhower on Jan. 18. The Eisenhower budget asked S112 million for this purpose and Congress appropriated $107 mil lion. In another request for a supple mental appropriation, Kennedy asked, an additional $10 million for the Bureau of Old Age and Sur vivors Insurance for salaries and expenses in the bureau. He proposed a $12-miilion reduc tion in one pending Eisenhower request for additional funds. On Jan. 18, Eisenhower asked Congress for an additional $30. 900,000 to cover the cost of rail road rate increases for carrying the mail which were authorized by the Interstate Commerce Com mission. Kenned proposed cutting this to $18,900,000. Press secretary Pierre Salinger said the reduction was made pos sible by trucks and airlines car rying more mail. .
