Katanga, The Congo (UPD Forty-two thou sand Africans who live in squalor on the outskirts of Elisabethville have become pawns in a complicated po litical chess game. They are the residents of the notorious Baluba refugee camp, the vast majority of them simple tribespeople caught up in the Congo con flict. They fled to the camp from the African communes of Elisabethville six months ago when Katanga President Moise Tshombe's police began arresting their political lead ers. The Balubas are tradi tional enemies of Tshombe's Lunda tribe and they have never accepted Katanga's se cession from the rest of the Congo. The tribefolk are bitter and helpless and their once tem porary refuge is taking on a permanent appearance. Solid looking brick walled huts are beginning to replace the erazily-angled mud, tin and blanket shanties of last year. The muddy, rutted streets are lined with hole-in-the-wall stores, bars and even barber shops. Wins Confidence Camp Commandant Major Arne Forslund of Sweden, who has won the confidence of the Balubas through pa tience and kindness, now tours the camp alone and unarmed. He sees his charges as victims of the Congo confusion and pooh-poohs the popular view of the Balubas as a vicious band of cannibals. In spite of the present calm, few people here want the camp to continue, least of all the camp residents them selves. Swedish officers say the vast majority would leave voluntarily for the Baluba tribal domains of North Ka tanga and Kasai Province if given the opportunity. The refugees speak longing ly of their former life in the communes, once the show piece of Belgian colonial na tive policy. But when one sug gests that they should return to their well-built concrete homes and neat gardens in the African suburbs the reaction is a firm "Never! The Lundas (or the Bembas, or Bahembas, or any other pro-Tshombe tribe) would kill me." Tragic The tragedy of the Baluba camp is, in a sense, the trag edy of the entire Congo. It is a harrowing example of tribal ism versus nationalism. It is also a political, economic and security problem. But above all it is a human problem. As long as the camp continues, 42.000 semi tribal Africans will be forced to live in far worse conditions than any thing they experienced under the colonial regime. The Baluba camp issue has become a convenient weapon for various pressure groups. On the one hand are the Tshombe supporters who re alize that virtually all the po litical opposition to his regime in Elisabethville is concen trated in the camp. To them the early liquidation of the Baluba camp is essential. On the other hand are the sup porters of the Central Congo lese government who feel re moval of the camp would be a major political victory for Tshombe. UN In Middl. In the middle stands the United Nations, faced with the task of administering the camp but hamstrung by dif ferences of opinion within its own ranks on the best way of tackling the problem. "The camp is being made permanent for dirty political v motives," a senior official said. "Some people in New York and elsewhere are will ing to let thousands of inno cent women and children suf the camp as a weapon against President Tshombe." But the chief UN refugee coordinator here. Nils -Goran Cussing of Sweden, denies this. "We do not force anyone to stay in the camp," Gussing said. "We are ready to help anybody who wants to leave." Meanwhile the camp dwell ers arc sinking deeper roots. Several thousand of the men folks now work in Elisabeth ville, returning to the mud and misery at night. But many thousand others sit around all day in complete idleness. They rely on the twice-weekly UN food distributions to keep themselves and their families alive. These food distributions are an expensive item in the UN budget. An estimated $120,000 a week is spend on transport ing staple African foodstuffs from Leopoldville more than 1000 miles away. Most of the food could be obtained locally but the Katanga Government has banned the sale of basic African foods to the UN be cause they say it only encour ages the Balubas to remain in the camp. Junior College in San Leandro Has Little to Start San Leandro, Calif - KM) -There's nothing venerable or hallowed or Ivy-covered about the halls of learning at San Lcandro's Chabot college -in fact, the walls are pretty bare and rickety. But it's a tribute to the dedication of the community that the walls are there at all. Until last summer, Chab ot college was just a name. The junior college opened in September, operating in $225 worth of 50-year-old buildings bought from the school district of nearby Oak land and moved to a San Le andro site. Students use their own au tomobiles for "study halls" and the only new buildings are three temporary struc tures used for a library and student and faculty cafeteri as. The college president is Reed L. Buffington. who left Contra Costa college in near by Contra Costa county to take the post last July. Feel Reassured "It makes you feel reas sured -about the solid funda mentals of the American character," he said of his new school. "Our young peo ple are not quite as soft as some critics would have you believe." The trustees of the college were elected last April. They turned immediately to the problem of setting up a func tioning school They felt that if taxpayers were being billed for a col lege, they should have one -and that facilities were need ed for local youngsters un able to attend other colleges.

MOVE RIGHT appliances sit 10th Street at Siskiyou 'Ham' Radiomen Preparing for 2nd Transmitter Orbit By PETER J. HAYES United Press International San Francisco - HOT - Ama teur radio operators, a not ably convivial clan, think nothing of passing the time of day with fellow hobbyists in Woomera, Australia, or Da kar, Africa. But a group of California "hams" has gone a step fur ther. They builV a 10-pound radio transmitter and per suaded the Air Force to rock et it into orbit aboard a Dis coverer satellite last Decem ber. The transmitter, dubbed Os car (Orbiting Satellite Car rying Amateur Radio), flash ed the message "hi" in Morse code as it circled the earth. Purpose of the venture was to let hams contribute to knowledge of space - radio propagation. Oscar's friendly "hi" even tually stopped as the batteries ran down. But plans are un der way to send Oscar II into space. Second Transmitter . M. C. Towns Jr., Saratoga, Calif., a Lockheed rocket en gineer and chairman of the Project Oscar association, said the group has a second transmitter ready to send into space. All that is needed is the rocket to put it there and a government OK is expect ed this spring. "Between 200 and 300 am ateurs in the Bay area have put in thousands of hours in their basements and garages on this project," Towns said. "For instance, we needed a special keyer to code the hi signal because nothing was available commercially. Har ley Gabrielson of Sunnyvale worked it out in his garage. "Then Al Diem of Los Altos did the work on the transmitter that sent out the signal. "And Nick Marshall ofj Palo Alto was responsible for I coordinating the keyer and transmitter to make sure they work together," Magnesium Screws I One amateur fashioned the special magnesium screws; an-1 other took care of applying thcgold plating to the trans-! mitter: and a couple of ama teur flyers took the transmit ter aloft to make sure it could stand the altitude. thought," Buffington said. "If we couldn't open our doors in time, a lot of young people would be deprived of the opportunity for an educa tion." By Sept. 12. the district had rented some ground and moved the old buildings into place - and Buffington had recruited a staff, developed a curriculum, set up a coun-1 seling and registration sys tem and got state approval for the whole enterprise. "What we're shooting for now is a $13.5 million bond issue." Buffington said. "There's a 9o-member com mittee working on it." If the bonds are approved at an election February 20, Buffington hopes to have a new plant ready to receive IN enjoy living in the finest apartments in Oregon VILLA -ROGUE APARTMENTS Tjstefully complete with drapes, wall-to-wall carpet and General Elect re Go'd Medallion Contact W. field.

" Woman Claims to Be Descendant of Michelangelo Romp - il'PI! - A woman who Aiims to be a descen dant of Michelangelo has written to the Pope because she has a small claim on the Sistine Chapel. Elina Castellucci, 70, has not asked for the return of the chapel. She wants just 300 lire (48 cent) In cash, the price of a ticket to the Vati can Museums. 'I want the satisfaction of seeing the Sistine Chapel free," she said. "Why should I buy a ticket to see some thing a member of my family painted? That s what 1 11 tell them in the Vatican." The white - haired woman has had no reply to horMct- ter to the Pope. She traced her ancestry : back 398 years to the great i Italian artist Michelangelo ! Buonarroti. Elina Castelluc-i ci s uncle, a butcher and namesake of the artist, gave gave her the family tree drawn on pnrchment. "This proves that I am a great - great great - great-great-great grand niece of Mi chelangelo." she said. The old lady lives with her daughter and truck driver son - in law less than 20 miles from the citv of Flor ence, where Michelangelo cre ated some of the world's great masterpieces. Many year ago. she' paid her only visit to the Michel angelo Museum In Florence. "I hope I can see the Sis tine Chanel free before I die but I'm very old now and Rome is far away," she said. The first Michelangelo Buo narroti, who has gone down in history just as Michelan gelo," was bor nin 1457 and died In 1SB4. The ceiling In the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican is con s i d e r e d his ffreatpst work. He was commissioned to dec orate the 133 foot long and 43 foot wide chapel by Pope Julius II in 150R. The work took four years and most of it had to he done while he was lying flat on his back on scaffolding. According to genealogical experts, Ellina Castellucci de scends from the Buonarroti family through her mother. The last known direct de scendant of the artist died in the late 19th Century.
