Katanga Chief
Ponders Move
ELISABETHVILLE, Katanga Wl President Moise Tshombe
apparently is being given a chance to invite a bloodless U.N.
occupation of his war capital of Kolwezi and thus insure a place
of power for himself in the reunified Congo.
Diplomats indicated Tshombe was pondering this course of
acuon as ine u.w. military buildup continued. Amphibious
armored troop carriers and bridging equipment poured in on huge
U.S. Air Force Globemasters, putting the U.N. force in a better
position to press an advance on Kolwezi.
The British government said it had received word that Tshom
be plans an early return to Elisabethville. Both Briton and Bel-

Looking Into
Press Strike
NEW YORK W A "board of
accountability" met Monday to
study whether the public's in
terests are being given due ac
count" in the month-long news
paper strike.
The fact-finding panel is com
posed of three jurists. .
The board was appointed Sun
day by Secretary of Labor Wi
Wirtz, Gov. Nelson A. Rocke
feller and Mayor Robert F.
Wagner.
A joint announcement by the
three said they hoped the board
could crystalize public opinion
and bring pressure to bear to
ward settling a printers' strike
against four of the dailies. The
other five major papers closed
down voluntarily when the
walkout began Dec. 8.
Report by Friday
The Publishers Assn. of New
York City, representing the
nine papers in contract bargain
ing talks, said its theory is that
a strike against one is a strike
against all.
The announcement by Wirtz,
Rockefeller and Wagner, who
asked that the board report by
Friday "or earlier if possible,"
said of the newspaper blackout:
"The public has the right to
know why this intolerable situa
tion continues."
"The public is entitled to
know whether its interests are
being given due account," the
announcement said. "If they are
not, the public has the right to
exercise further influence to re
solve the present deadlock."
Cleveland Strike
In another strike that has
shut down the two daily news
papers in Cleveland for 39 days,
negotiations involving the Plain
Dealer and the Press & News
have been recessed.
No date has been set for re
sumption of contract talks with
the striking independent Team
sters Union, which represents
455 newspaper delivery drivers
in the Ohio city. The talks
broke off Saturday.
The striking Cleveland News
paper Guild is scheduled to re
sume contract negotiations with
publishers next Monday after a
nine-day lapse.
Named to the non-salaried
"board of public accountability"
to study the 31-day-old New
York newspaper blackout were
Judge Harold R. Medina of the
U.S. Court of Appeals, Judge
Joseph O'Grady of the New
York City Criminal Court, and
David W. Peck, former presid
ing justice in the appellate di
vision of the State Supreme
Court.
Union Sues
Newspapers
NEW YORK W A union,
charging that its members were
locked off their jobs, Monday
sued three New York City
newspapers for a total of $512,
O00 in back pay and other bene
fits. The suits were filed in U. S.
District Court by Local 2, New
York Newspaper Printing Press
men's Union, against the New
York Herald Tribune, the New
York Mirror and the New York
Post.
The three newspapers shut
down Dec. 8 when Local 6 of
the International Typographical
Union struck four other Man
hattan dailies. The three shut
down under a "one struck, all
itruck" policy.
In the suits, the pressmen
claim they had been "locked
out" in violation of contracts
between the union and the
three papers. The pressmen
asked $100,000 as salary loss
and $52,000 in strike benefits
from the Herald Tribune; $175,
000 salary and $70,000 strike
benefits from the Mirror and
$75,000 salary and $40,000 strike
benefits from the Post.
Congo Action Blasted
ARLINGTON. Va. ICPB
Young Republicans have ex
pressed "utter contempt" for
United Nations activities in the
Congo. The executive commit
tee of the Virginia Young Re
publican Federation charged
Saturdav that U. N. attempts to
unify Katanga Province with
the central Congo government
violated "the principal of self
determination."
I gians have been urging him to
head back. Belgian authorities
in Katanga were understood to
have made a plane available.
Congo Premier Cyrille Adou
la, seeking to nail down gains
registered by the United Na
tions, named Francois Kalala as
administrative boss of Katanga
and ordered replacement of Ka
tangan money with banknotes
from the central government.
Kalala is secretary-general of
the Leopoldville regime's Pub
lic Administration Ministry.
Reunion Plans
Officials of the central Con
golese government arrived in
Elisabethville to take steps to
reintegrate Katanga into the
Congo in accordance with U.N.
Secretary -General U Thant's
unity plan. The reunion scheme
includes merger of the Katan
gan and Congolese armed forces
and a share of the revenues
from Katanga's industrial wealth
for Premier Cyrille Adoula's
central government in Leopold
ville. ,
At the Elisabethville Airport,
central government representa
tives set up customs and immi
gration offices.
U.N. Undersecretary Ralph
Bunche, who flew to the Congo
on a special mission over the
weekend, said he had no plans
to meet with Tshombe. He said
the time for negotiation is over.
Week to Comply
"We have stated that we ex
pect complete freedom of move
ment (through the elimination
of all armed resistance). That is
a principle and it sticks."
Bunche told newsmen.
Tshombe likely will be al
lowed up to a week to comolv
with this demand, qualified dip
lomats said. This would entail
U.N. occupation of Kolwezi. a
mining town 150 miles north
west of Elisabethville, the Saka
nia border post 110 miles south
east of Elisabethville. and Di-
lolo, near the frontier of Angola.
bhould Tshombe decide to
end the resistance, he could for
the present retain the presiden
cy of Katanga Province, diplo
mats said. Though battered mil
itarily he retains a political fol
lowing in Katanga.
Possible Sabotage
If he fights on, he could do
immense damage to the econ
omy through sabotage of instal
lations at Kolwezi, including a
dam outside the town that sup
plies all of Katanga's electric
power.
Tshombe was last reported in
Kolwezi gathering his battered
Katangan gendarmes and white
mercenaries for a last-ditch
stand.
U.N. forces could press on
Kolwezi either from Jadotville,
80 miles to the southeast of the
town or from the big Kamina
base 150 miles to the north.
A U.N. task force has been
poised at Jadotville since Thurs
day, awaiting the arrival of ar
mor and other heavy equipment
stalled by bridge destruction.

Opens Talks
SALEM WI A dairymen's in
dustry committee Monday rec
ommended legislation to set up
a Milk Stabilization Advisory
Committee of seven producers.
The proposal was presented
at the opening session of the
Oregon Dairymen's Assn. which
started a three-day annual meet
ing at the Marion Motor Hotel.
The recommendations, studied
since milk prices broke in April
1961, came only a few days after
the State Milk ' Stabilization
Law expired. Dairymen feared
that a milk price war would
result.
The proposal would set up
market areas embracing one or
more primary markets and with
market pools in each area. Milk
prices would be based on the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
prices for class 2 milk (that
used for ice cream, etc.) plus
$2.40 for class 1 milk (bottled).
Based on December prices
that would bring producers $585
per hundred pounds, compared
with recently posted prices of
$5.50.

WASHINGTON Wt The Su

review a $500,000 libel judgment
awarded a Montgomery, Ala.,
city official in a suit against the
New York Tunes and four Ne
gro ministers.
The circuit court of Montgom

L. B. Sullivan, police commis

was against the Revs. Ralph
Abernathy, Fred L. Shuttles-

Lowery.
Sullivan's complaint was based
on an advertisement in the
Times of March 29, 1960. The
advertisement, containing state
ments critical of the handling
of racial demonstrations in
Montgomery, was placed by an
organization called "The Com

King and the Struggle for Free

The Times, in appealing to
the Supreme Court, contended
among other things that the
judgment violated the Constitu
