the outskirts of this battle-torn
city shortly before agreement was
reached on a cease fire between
Katangan and U.N. forces.
Hundreds spilled outside the
camp, attacking Kalangan police
men and white and black civilians
At lease three Europeans were
wounded by Baluba tribesmen
who were scrpaming and waving
machetes.
The flare-up followed several
days of rising tension in the
camp, organized by the United
Nations to house the tribesmen
seeking refuge from Kasai l'rov

More than 100 Baluhas were
wounded and killed when Katan
gan gendarmerie lobbed mortar
shells into the camp, housing 30,-
000 refugees, at the height of the
U.N.-Katangan fight.
Ambulance crews from Queen
Hospital, fearing for their lives,
refused to enter the camp.
The tribesmen emerged from
the camp in several groups, at
tacking passers-by and the homes
of Europeans.
They stormed the house of Bel
gian settler Claude Lamnot, wav
ing knives and screaming.
"I grabbed a carbine and killed
three of them right away," said
I.ambot. "But they managed to
hack my father with a machete."

Pacific Rim Nations
Talk Joint Trade
PORTLAND (AP) - The sixth
Japan-American Conference o f
Mayors ani Chamber of Com
merce Presidents began its fourth
and final day this morning with
more discussions of joint trade
problems.
Delegates from the two Pacific
Rim nations heard some ideas on
this subject Wednesday from
former U.S. Sen. William F,
Knowland, now an Oakland, Calif.
newspaper editor and assistant
publisher.
He said a quota basis for im
ports may be the thing that would
solve problems arising from
foreign trade.
He said pressures on Congress
for more drastic action will grow
unless there is a "well-thought-
out quota system, or some better
system if it can be devised."
He also said the United States
and its allies are near an inter
national "high noon" in their
struggle against communism.
"In fact," he warned, "it can
be said that it now is past 11:45."
Knowland said that last June
3 Soviet Premier Khruschcv gave
President Kennedy a six-month
ultimatum regarding a peace
treaty on Germany.
The six months will be up Dec.
3, he reminded, and "it would be
highly dangerous for Americans
or the free world to put any other

Currency Comptroller Named
In On-Again, Off-Again Byplay
WASHINGTON (AP) In an on
again, off-again bit of White Mouse
bvplay, President Kennedy has
named Chicago lawyer James J.
Saxon to replace Ray M. Gidney
as comptroller of currency.
The appointment, announced
Wednesday, will become effective
Nov. 15.
Gidney, a Republican, has dis
agreed strongly with Atty Gen.
Robert F. Kennedy, the president's
brother, over antitrust policy on
bank mergers.
The White House announced
nomination of Saxon, a Democrat
Wednesday afternoon. A spokes
man said he understood Gidney
was stepping out under a verbal
agreement with Secretary of the
Treasury Douglas Dillon.
Less than two hours later, the
White House withdrew the nomi
nation. The Treasury Department
said it was all a mistake, that
the nomination had been sent to
the White House "as a result of
a clerical error in the rush at the
close of the session in Congress."
Still later, the White House
press secretary, Pierre Salinger,
summoned reporters hack to the
White House and said Gidney is
resigning effective Nov. 15 and
Saxon would succeed him in the
$20,500 job.
Gidney's term is not scheduled
to expire until 1963. Saxon will
be given a recess appointment to
finish out Gidney's term. The
nomination requires Senate approval.
Nixon Expected
To Reveal Status
LOS ANGELES (AP) Next
Wednesday will hold much inter
est for three announced California
Republican gubernatorial candi
dates. That night,, former Vice Presi
dent Richard M. Nixon will hold
a news conference at which he is
expected to announce whether he
will seek the governorship of Cal
ifornia. If Nixon says "yes," the three
hopefuls are expected to become
underdogs in the GOP primary
election battle.
They are former Gov. Goodwin
J. Knight, former Lt. Gov. Harold
J. Powers and Assemblyman Jo
seph C. Shell, all of whom say
they will stay in the fight even
if Nixon runs.
Wilderness Areas
Said Not Likely
WASHINGTON (AP)-Tne chief
of the U.S. Forest Service, Richard
E. McArdle, said Thursday desig
nation of additional very large
areas of national forest land for
wilderness-type preservations is
unlikely.
He told a forest land use confer
ence he based this belief on the
fact that large additional tracts
would mostly be inaccessible for
recreational use.
Some forest industry groups
have been opposing extension of
wilderness areas on public lands
because it would reduce the sup
ply of timber for commercial
production.
"In recent years recreational
use of the national forest has in
creased more rapidly than any
other use," McArdle said. "We are
moving aggressively to catch up
our recreation load, and we intend
to move still more aggressively in
this direction.
"None of this means that we
have any intention of neglecting
timber production as a major ob
jective of national forest administration."
