Mobutu Prepares Offensive
Against Backers of Lumumba
Leopoldvllle, The Congo -(UPII
- Congolese army chief
Maj. 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poldvllle were withdrawn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

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

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. '

The Klamath Falls Demo
crat said the 1061 Senate is
economy minded and the
great majority are "moderate
in their thinking and will be
objective in their lawmak
ing." 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.

"With timber so important
