Gen. Joseph Mobutu moved troops to the borders of Oriental Province today to mount a new offensive against supporters of deposed Pre mier Patrice Lumumba. More than 000 men left here during the night aboard barges for the town of Bumba, 340 miles northeast of Coc quilhatvillc in Equato'rial ' Province. Mobutu won a vic tory at Bumba two weeks ago and cleared the area of Lumumba troops. Lacked Strength v He evidently did not have the strength to follow through to Stanleyville, although his troops penetrated about 200 miles into Oriental Province to the towns' of Buta and Ensoko. ' The troops which left Leo poldvllle were withdrawn from the parachute brigade at Thysville and were accom panied ty about 50 trucks containing munitions. - Some of the trucks were I Russian-made. They were part nf a consignment of 200 given by Russia to Lumumba last August. Mobutu lias been re luctant to use the Russian trucks until now, but his own transport problem is becom ing acute as more and more transport vehicles have been j Qarlos Morris ii Managing partner of Conger Morris to assist you at your time of need I ' FUNERAL DIRECTORS 1 .

May Not Have To Fight Reliable sources said Mo butu may not have to fight for Stanleyville. He has received feelers from the Stanleyville garri son and the sources said at least one battalion was offer ing to come over to him. Mobutu is reported to have said he will negotiate if and when Stanleyville strongman Antolne Gizenga and Lumum ba army commander Gen. Vic tor Lumdula are handed over as prisoners.

Dreaded Gap Fails To Develop, Study Discloses Washington-llJPII-The dread missile gap has failed to ma terialize, according to an ad ministration study. Contrary to predictions of Democratic critics during the Eisenhower a d m i nistration, the United States is not now lagging behind Russia in num bers of intercontinental bal listic missiles. Nor is there now expected to be a period when there would be a dangerous gap be tween U.S. and Soviet mili tary power - a period when the balance of destructive power would be heavily on Russia's side. These conclusions were re ported to have been reached by President Kennedy's de fense high command. They ap parently are at the heart of the administration's current reappraisal of American mili tary policies. Back Up Ike The findings were in line with the assumptions of the Eisenhower administration on missile strength, which drew sustained and bitter criticism from congressional Demo crats. In a Senate speech in August,' 1958, for example, then-Sen. Kennedy said, "The gap will begin in 1960. He said that the most critical years of the missile gap ap parently would be 1980-1964. Last June, in another Sen ate speech, he called for step ped up missile development to "close the gap." It had been predicted in Congress that Russia would gain a 3-1 majority over the United States in ICBMs in the early 1960s. The Eisenhower administra tion told Congress last year Russia was likely to produce more ICBMs at times in the early 1960s, particularly in 1962. Feels Same Way But it argued that there would be no "destruction gap" - a period when Russia would have superior power to wreak destruction. There has been no com placency, however, about the relative American-Soviet po sitions. The new defense high command was reported to have 25 to 30 items on its agenda for strengthening U.S. defense.

Boivin reiterated his resis tance to Gov. Mark Hatfield's cabinet government plan, say ing Oregon doesn't need such sweeping changes. Boivin who considers the total program radical, said he finds it odd that Hatfield sug gests grouping such agencies as funeral directors and plumbers together, and -worse - Hillcrest school for girls with the state liquor commission. "Simply because it is new or strange does not necessarily make it good," he said. Boivin also made these pre dictions: -Passage of Oregon s "little Landrum-Griffin" labor bill. -Failure of the 3-cent cigar ette tax, although Boivin fa vors it. .Improvement in the capital gains provision.

Boivin said a "must" in this legislature is passage of a "workable" timber tax law which will benefit the tree farmer and timber owner on a sustained yield basis. "With timber so important to our economy in Oregon we cannot afford a tax formula on timber that will encourage 'cut and get out' policies," he said. The legislature must face reapportionment, Boivin said, but he criticized the present formula based on population. Eastern Oregon would lose senators and representatives under this.
