Mole Tihom bo wu a central figure in th Congo crlili caused In part by in iKutlon oi hit Katinga Prorlnca. Sine Katanga wai forced back into the Congo laia republic by United Na tion! action, he hai dropped out of the limelight but liill it considered one of Africa's leading ftaleimen. In the fol lowing interview with a UPI correspondent Tshombe givei bli views on hie and the Con go'! future. By TIM KNIGHT Ellsabethvllle, Katanga Province (The Congo) (UPD Molse Tehombe. once the "tiger of Katanga," aaid today he would atart no more wars but might try to take over the central Congolese governme -X , peacefully. The 43 -year -old Katanga Province leader said he was optimistic about the future of the Congo and the African continent if the great powers keep the cold war out. He said he had no personal ambitions and harbored no bitterness toward the United Nations which forced the end of Katanga's secession earlier this year. He inferred that the big powers pushed the world organization into war against Katanga. Siicedes From Republic Tshombe was a central figure in the Congo crisis which erupted after the cow try became independent of Belgium in mid-1960. He took bis mineral-rich province out of the republic and maintain ed the secession for nearly three years despite economic pressures and three "wars" against UN forces. The moon -faced business man - politician said today he had ended his secessionist movement but he indicated he might adopt a "if you can't beat them, join them" policy in rising to power in the cen tral government. Tshombe, once prresident of Katanga, now'ls reduced to Katanga's provincial head un der the central government in Leopoldville. But he is still one of the most important statesmen in .Africa. He could yet rise as the only man capable of lead ing the Congo without UN protection. American Mission Education He . was educated in an American mission and ho later traveled in Europe. He speaks French, Portuguese, English and nine African lan guages. I spoke to him and this was the exchange: Question - What are the chances of another war In Ka-tangr.? Answer - I ave my word to end secession and I meant it. But trouble could still be caused by the lack of coop eration from M. Ileo. (Joseph Ileo, the central government minister, resident in Elisabethvllle). Q. - It has been forecast that you are planning to take over leadership of the central government. Is this so? A. - If the Congolese parll amcnt asked mo to take over, I would go. But I am not go ing to impose myself. Q. - Do you think the Com munist can take over Africa? A. - Africa changes too rap idly for me to forecast. There ar two separate power blocs fighting over this continent, the East and the West. I don't believe the Americans will have much success, mainly be cause of their lack of experi ence here. As for communism, of course, a few heads of state do follow it for their own in terests. Q. - Do you feel any bit terness against the United Na tions? A. - The United Nations are innocent of it. They wouldn't have done what they did, if they hadn't been pushed into it. Now I feci we must forget the past, and I don t feel bit' terness against anyone. Q. - How do you see Afri- ca s future? A. - If the financial inter ests of the rest of the world can keen out of Africa . I am optimistic about its fu ture. Q. - What are your person al ambitions? A. - I have no personal anv bitions. What I have done has been In the interests of my country, not for myself. I have almost enough money of my own. Regional Edition MEDFORDf Page 2A kTRIBUNE MEDFORD.

The anti death penalty measures already have won Senate approval. The proposed new constitu tion retains the death penalty. The House Constitutional Revision Committee, which heard the death penalty meas ures Thursday, postponed ac tion to Tuesday to determine it amendments would be nec essary so that if the voters re jected capital punishment the prohibition could be applied to either the present or to the proposed new constitution. A constitutional change and a proposed change In statutes are included in the anti-death penalty package. The constitutional change would make the penalty for first degree murder life In prison. The statute change would require confinement for at least IS years, and lifetime supervision under parole. The Senate conducted ex tensive public hearings on both measures. The proposed constitutional change was ap proved 25-3, the statute re vision 24-6. Sen. Don Willner (D-Port- land) was the principal wit ness at Thursday's hearing. Will you let the people vote on this issue?" he pleaded. Willner went over testi mony before the Senate com mittee and pointed out that the death penalty was not a deterrent, there was the pos sibility of error, and that capital punishment "brutalizes society." Rep. Edward Elder (R-Eu- gene) former Lane county sheriff, argued that the death penalty was a deterrent to murder. Ho said he believed courts appointed competent defense attorneys in death cases. He was replying to a charge that only the poor who could not hire good legal help were sent to the gas chamber. Senate-Passed Workmen's Compensation Bill Declared 'Mess' By House Industries Committee Salem-4iro-Members of the House Committee on Labor and Industries decided Infor mally Thursday to try to iel out a workmen's compensa tion bill this session. But they termed the Senate-passed bill before them "a mess." The House committee heard nearly four hours of testi mony on a bill to overhaul the states 30-year-old pro gram of industrial accident benefits for injured workmen. Labor and industry wit nesses, who fought bitterly over workmen's compensa tion In 1681. indicated they may be closer than ever to a compromise. r Hearings Set The House committee said it plans to hold a series of hearings to hear from all in terested parties: Employers, labor, the insurance industry, the State Industrial Accident Commission. Members also said hy a nee firms, would deal with the injured worker. Committee members con ceded it would be a big job for the few remaining weeks of the legislature, which hopes to adjourn late this month. The Senate bill abandons the state monopoly sought by labor. On the other hand, it provides for less private in surance than management would like. It would give em ployers three choices: Insur ance through the state system, self-insurance for a "direct re sponsibility employer" who could afford to post his own bond, and self - insurance with the backing of a private firm. It includes these features: Universal coverage (including farmers); a revamp of t h e state administrative agency and Its claims procedures; ap peals; a review board; jury trial; and a 20 per cent in crease in benefits. Labor said the bill provides for too many employers to Rail Hurdles Near Conclusion New York - IUPD - Judge Samuel I. Rosenman, chair man of the presidential emer gency board investigating new railroad work rules, hopes to have the- major hurdle' to agreement in the featherbed ding battle cleared by next week.

He said there was "some movement on one of the toughest issues" involved In the Investigation what to do about firemen on diesel engines. I he Brotherhood of Fire men contend that firemen should be kept on the train crew as a safety factor. "I still hope to get agree ment on the major issues by nexi ween," Kosenman said bui ne stressed that he is not sure the major points of uie dispute can be pinned down by the May 11 dead line for submitting the board's report to president Kennedy, ne said that if the two sides continue to make prog ress ne may ask for a post ponemcnt of the deadline.

Stanley Mosk today re fused to concede defeat of an administration - backed bill to levy stiff penalties for dan gerous drug violations. The Senate finance commit tee Thursday killed the bill on a voice vote. "We are considering revis ing the bill somewhat and pre senting it to the committee a second time," Mosk said. "I must say I think it's unfor tunate that after the bill was cleared by Judiciary commit tee it was rejected by finance on a matter of policy rather than how it affected the fi nances." The attorney general said he anticipated no major prob lems with other measures in the 16-bill dangerous drug package backed by Mosk and Gov. Edmund G. Brown. The bills were introduced by Sen. Edwin J. Regan (D-Weaver-villc). A bill to establish a state- sponsored program to reha bilitate dangerous drug ad dicts has been sent to an in terim committee on the basis it would cost too much money. The bill sought to toughen penalties for illegal use of sleeping pills and pep pills, which Mosk claimed were be ing used in increasing num bers as substitutes for heroin and marijuana.
