- The Wee Too
The Harlem Room inside
the Caravan Motor Inn has
featured entertainment for
some time now. With the
influx of new clubs and
discos springing up over
town it's not uncommon for
fciJd established clubs to fade
■v into the wood work How
ever, the Wee Too Doo.
consisting of Al Rivers on
drums and doing the vocal
izing along with Henry
Estell on the keyboard, has
added refreshing dimension
to the club.
They opened the set with
a very impressive rendition
of Exodus, followed by Ebb
Tide, The Way We Were.
Misty and a couple of
classics by Nat King Cole.
Al Rivers formerly one of
the original "Ink Spots"
captivates an audience with
his flexibility of vocal con
trol and emotional expres
sion. On the onter hand.
Henry Estell is more in
troverted and prefers to let
the "blacks and whites" do
the talking. You should
hear him playing Exodus
out of sight!
The Harlem Room itself
is decorated nicely and
offers domestic and gour
met dinners nightly. I f you
and your othr half happen
to be in a romantic mood on
a Friday or Saturday night
and want to hear some
music to go along with it.
Check out Rivers and Estell
- a truly dynamic duo!!

In what could likely be a
set up for foreign interven
tion in Angola, the Portu
guese High Commissioner
l.eonel Cardoaa declared
last week that Portugal
would call upon the United
Nations “if any one of the
liberation movements unila
terally declared indepen
dence...” The M P L A (Pop
ular Movement for the
liberation of Angola), in a
communique issued from
Brazzaville (Congo), "con
demns the moves toward
the intervention by foreign
troops, including the sub
version specialists of the
C IA .”
The communique
stated that UN intervention
in the Belgian Congo (now
Zaire) "resulted
in
the
murder of pro-socialist Pa
trice Lumumba, and the
rise of the C IA puppet
Mobutu Sese Seko."

Associated Press sto ry
September 12th. revealed
that the C IA in 1960 had
operational feasibility stu
dies for the poisoning of
Congo Premier Pstrice Lu
mumba.
According
to
Bissell, "the operation that
was
looked
in to
was
aborted for various reasons
which did not have to do
with events in the Congo
There was a decision within
the agency not to carry the
operation beyond the feasi
bility stage
The "various
reasons' Bissell refers to
undoubtedly have to do
w ith another fe a s ib ility
study, which u ltim a te ly
brought about the installa
tion of the Mobutu govern
ment.
Similar to the Angola
decolonization process, the
Belgian
Congo
in
1960
underwent what is widely
reputed to have been a C IA
instigated tribal warfare,
which destabilized the gov
ernment of Premier Lu
mumba.
Under ‘western
linked
Moise
Tshombe's
leadership, the K atanga
Province (essentially owned
by American Metal Climax
C o rp o ratio n and Anglo
American Copper) declared
independence,
This pro
vided the needed rationale
for U.N. intervention, dur
ing which the Congo'a first
Premier, Patrice Lumumba,
was assassinated.
In An
gola, secessionist maneu
vers are being pushed by
the South African backed
National Union (U N IT A )
headed by Jonas Savimbi.
Following the removal of
Lumumba. Congo President
Kasavubu did an about
turn, ending the fighting,
by bringing his previous
arch rival Moise Tshombe
into his government as the
new Prime Minister. "Ts
hombe's links
with
the
western world enabled him
to secure the resources,
including white mercenary
troops, to establish a crude
control over virtually all the
Congo ." (A Short History
of Africa. Penguin 1966).
Ultim ately Kasavubu's at
tempts to secure a working
form of parliamentary gov
ernment were swept away
by the commander of the
Congolese army
General
Mobutu."
The rationale Bissell of
fers for the Lumumba poi
soning
study* was that
"Lumumba came to be
regarded as a major threat .
who might deny the United
States access to the sub
stantial minerals found in
the Congo." In fact, it was
just these corporate mining
interests who had financed
C IA work in the Congo, as
early as 1954. by sinking
money into the African
American Institute, in close
cooperation with American
Metal Climax Corporation.
Lumumba was 'out of con
trol' from the C IA stand
point. As R. Harris Smith
in his liook OSS: The Secret
•of History of America's
First C IA writes, “it was
the C IA that maintained
close and friendly ties with
such African radicals as
Franz Fanon
The CIA's
ostensible purpose was to
build the foundation for far
more effective covert sup
Port of the Third World
non communist left - men
like Holden Roberto and
Tom Mboya.” (Roberto now
heads the Zairean barked
Angolan
tribalist
group.
F N L A ).
Subsequent mon
ies to
the
Congo
for
"training Congolese lead
era" have been chiefly from
the Rockefeller and Ford
Foundations. For example,
over fifteen million dollars
between 1962 65.
Moat of
thia money has gone to the
Zairean' National School of
la w and Administration.
