Premier of Congo Expresses Concern Over Mercenaries WASHINGTON (UPI) -Premier Cyrille Adoula of the Congo has voiced concern about the "menace" of mer cenaries along the Congo's southern frontier. He told United Press Inter national that Nationalist lead er Kenneth Kaunda of Northern Rhodesia had confirmed that there were mercenaries along the border who were willing to support new actions of seces sion in the Congo. He said a Afl-CIO Division Leading Teacher Union Campaign WASHINGTON (UPI) - The AFL- CIO's Factory Workers' Division is taking the lend in a campaign to unionize school teachers in more than a half dozen major U.S. cities. Walter Reuthcr, president of the Industrial Union Depart ment (IUD), which organizes workers in factories, has allo cated "substantial" money and manpower for the drive spear headed by the American Fed eration of Teachers (AFT). Organizers are busy In Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis St. Paul, Denver and other cit ies in an effort to follow up the success of the teachers' Local 2 in New York City. Teachers in New York went to the brink of a strike this fall before their negotiators signed a new contract with the Board of Education. The AFL-CIO de partment said it will bring $:U million worth of salary In creases and other benefits to school employes. Jack Conway, executive as sistant to Mouther, confirmed that organizing teachers was one of the IlJD's main targets at the present. "Teachers arc waking up to the (act that they need a un ion," Conway said in an inter view. "The New York settle ment shows that collective bar gaining can deal with profes sional problems such as class size and workload as well as improve salaries." "similar situation" existed along The Congo's Angolan bor der. But Adoula said these mer cenaries represented "the only cloud in sight" regarding re integration of Katanga into The Congo. Criticisms Answered Adoula also answered criti cisms of The Congo here earlier this week by Sir Roy Welensky, outgoing Prime Minister of the dissolving Federation of Rho desia and Nyasaland. He as serted that Welensky's regime is one of "dictatorship and ra cial discrimination and called it a "20th century disgrace." Adoula made the remarks in written responses to questions submitted to him before he left for New York after a meeting with President Kennedy and talks at the World Bank and In ternational Monetary Fund. He said the talks were pur sued in "a climate of great understanding. "We have profited from these contacts by discussing the mon etary problems of our country," he said. U. S. officials said they con sidered the IMF to be the key to The Congo's economic re covery. If inflation can be checked by IMF-approved cur rency reform, then The Congo has a good future and will get economic aid from nations "poised" to assist, the officials said. Discussion Declined Adoula did not go into details about his economic talks and declined to discuss steps toward training and modernization of the Congolese army, saying the matter was a "military secret." Multi-nation efforts to pre pare the Congolese army for tho day when UN forces leave were discussed during his visit. lie indicated the army was striving to gain "all mastery and effectiveness" of a modern armv. Welensky, in his speech, said African governments were "one-party dictatorships" and cited The Congo as an example of Africans being incapable of effective self-government. Adnula denied this. He said that "in The Congo there is a total liberty of expression and 1 thought." Fight on Hunger Gains in Spite 01 Population STANFORD, Calif. (UPI) - Whatever other problems t h e population explosion may cause mankind, it shouldn't be t h e cause of hunger at least not for a while. In fact, man probably will gain some ground in his battle against hunger around ten world between now and 1984, ac cording to Emeritus Director Merrill K. Bennett of the Stan ford university food research institute. "(Continued) shrinkage rather than expansion of h u n g e r sit uations in the world seems to me in reasonable prospect," he writes in the current issue of food research institute studies. "A billion mouths are accom panied by a billion pairs of hands and a billion brains. Barring widespread warfare, there should be a continuance of the trends toward increased ur banization, better transportation and communication networks, and more widespread land cul tivation, Bennett said. Vast amounts of well-watered land are still unsettled in the tropics, he said, and much more existing acreage can be irri gated, even without desalted sea water. More swamps can be drained, and existing farmlands can be made to yield two crops. And crops should get bigger with greater use of fertilizers, better pest control, improved soil management and better seeds. But looking a few hundred years farther ahead, Bennett conceded the population growth rate has got to slow down sometime. If the t.6 per cent growth rate of the UBO's continues in definitely, the population densi ty of the entire planet will reach 15,000 per square mile by 2317 leaving each individual a strip of land 27 by 70 feet. This, said Bennett, is "rather small even nllowing for forth coming miracles of science."
