1m The- Day's km By FRANK JENKINS From Washington: President Kennedy warned Rus sia yesterday against any attempt to "intervene unilaterally" (mean ing intervention by Russia alone) in the Congo. He said it was the HlltV Af thtt llnitoH Oatne AVfl! OTHER UNITED NATIONS MEMBERS to oppose any such intervention. The President, opening his news conference with a statement on the Congo crisis, did not specifical ly name Russia,, but said he was seriously concerned at what ap pears to be a threat of unilateral intervention." The President also deplored any attt'mpt to "destroy" the United Nations again an evident refer ence to Russia's demand Tuesday for withdrawal of United Nations forces from the Congo and for ouster of Dag Hammarskjold as U.N. secretary-general. In effect, President Kennedy seemed to be saying to Premier Khrushchev: "Keep your hands off the Con go. It will be the duty of the United States as a United Nations member to oppose any attempt. (on your part) at (military) in tervention there." Officials in Washington explain this morning that President Ken nedy is relying on small nation detense of the U.N. to preserve the Congo operation and help to discourage Khrushchev from try ing to force through Soviet de mands and threats. He is said to be hopeful that a serious East- West conflict over the Congo (with its resulting dangers of war) can be averted. As an interesting sidelight, In dia's Nehru has made the state ment that if the United Nations operation in the Congo becomes ef fective, he will send Indian com bat troops there. That is quite a departure from Nehru s long-established policy of neutrality. What will come of it? Time will tell. Much will de pend on how other Western na tions and the so-called "neutral nations respond to Mr. Kennedy's bold challenge. v'One thing is certain the Congo is a mess. Why? There are many answers. Per haps the answer closest to the truth is that in this strategic mid African region many nations (if! they can be called that) wore: turned loose from their former! colonial masters with little (if any) preparation for independ ence, self-government and liber ty to do as they please. AU the news that has cornel from the Congo seems to back up! that conclusion. The native tribes that have been turned loose more or less on their own have had noj training in the responsibilities of self - government. In some ot them, cannibalism is still prac ticed. In much of the area, the population is very little removed from raw savagery. Weather Klamath Falls and vicinity: Fair tonight. Partly cloudy with a few snow flurries Friday. Highs 35-40.

President Slams Foes Of Program WASHINGTON (AP) dent Kennedy, hitting those who contend there is no re cession, is pumping more federal money into the economy to com bat "the very serious problem of unemployment. Tlie President sized up the prob lem in those terms at his news conference Wednesday night while thrusting at Republican criticism of his efforts to spur business and reduce joblessness. He also prod ded the Democratic-controlled Congress moving slowly so far- to act speedily on his legislative program designed, he said, to get the American economy "back on its feet." Kennedy dealt at some length with this domestic situation, and also served notice on the Soviet Union to desist from any one-sided intervention in the internal affairs of the strife-scarred Congo. And the President, again with Soviet Union clearly in mind, as serted that any attempt to de stroy the United Nations in the Congo crisis "is a blow aimed directly at the independence and security of every nation, large and small." He pledged the United States "will continue to support the Unit ed Nations' presence in the Con go," and said a U. N. pull-out there such as demanded by the Soviet Union would add up to disaster. Kennedy said further this coun try considers the government set up under Joseph Kasavubu as president "is the only legal au thority entitled to speak for the Congo as a whole. Both the So viet Union and the United Arab Republic have recognized , the Stanleyville-based regime headed by pro-Communist Antoine Gizen- ga, a supporter of deposed Congo Premier Patrice Lumumba, whose Presi-lassassination touched off the new back at crisis. As for the domestic economy. Kennedy said the country "most concerned about the very; serious problem of unemploy mem. mere are, he said, more than 5.5 million Americans who want work and can't find a job. Alluding to Congress, the Presi dent said he hopes there will be action on his legislative program as soon as possible. He reviewed steps he already has taken on his own to relieve hardship and en courage business recovery, and then listed additional measures he had just ordered apart from pro posals which require congression al approval. These include instructions to quicken distribution of $4 billion in lax refunds which are coming due, in an effort to get this money into the spending stream. Kennedy also announced that $734 million is being made avail able this month for the federal highway construction program. He noted that faster outlay of these funds will have to be implemented by stale and local governments and disclosed he had dispatched telegrams to all state governors urging a speed-up. Also, the President said, the government is changing its regu lations to make more small busi ness firms eligible for defense contracts. Europeans Are Beaten LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo (AP) Twelve Europeans, includ ing a woman and a 5-year-old child, were seized and beaten by rebellious Lumumba soldiers Kivu Province today, the United Nations reported. When they were released after i a few hours detention, the U.N spokesman said, one of the men had a broken arm The incident was another ot the isolated outbreaks of violence clouding the atmosphere of the Congo following the death of 'ex Premier Patrice Lumumba, an nounced Monday. A company of Congolese soldiers appeared yesterday at the airport in Stanleyville, the Lumumba stronghold, insisting that a plane full of Belgian paratroopers was about to land.

The battered body of the eight- year-old girl was found near a logging road Friday. She disap peared Tuesday while on her way home from a school valentine party. The sheriff said that Wallace Mitchell Ford, a high school freshman and neighbor of the' slain girl at the nearby commu nity of Anderson, admitted lie lured Vicki into the Wooded area with the intention of raping her. Balma said the boy admitted removing the child's underclothing! but said he did not rape her be cause he became frightened. The youth said he "thught" he was the one who crushed her head with a large rock, but that lie couldn't remember. Ford told police he saw Vicki walking home from school and called her into the densely-wooded area to help him "cany some thing." He said he helped her through a barbed wire fence so she wouldn't tear her party dress. The youth told the sheriff he later left the scene and joined some 160 men in the all-night; search for the missing girl. Ford was among a group of! Vicki's friends and neighbors brought in for questioning about the murder. Authorities felt that she had been killed by someone she knew, because there was no sign of a struggle. Balma said the killer used a 25-pound rock to bludgeon the vic tim s head. It was found near the body. 4:30 p.m. at Sprague River when a boom the vehicle was carrying came into contact with a high ten sion line of the California Oregon Power Company. Dead is Wiley B. Combs. 42, of Arkansas. He was an employe of the Stanley Bledsoe Corpora-! tion of Tulsa, which is double ending pipe being ' laid by the' Western Pipeline Company on the Canada to Antioch, Calif., natural, gas project. Officials of the company said Thursday that the victim was op- crating a tractor carrying a boom to raise railroad rails when the load came into contact with the power. Combs was standing on the ground at the time with his hand on the rails. Death by elec trocution was probably instanta neous. This was the first accident on the company's local construction! begun several weeks ago. The body was brought to turned to his home at Foukc, Ark. Survivors include the widow, Dora, son Donald, and daughter Bcnnic, all of Fouke; a brother, James Combs, Fouke, and two sisters, Mrs. Maggie Aikins, Med ford, and Mrs. Bertha Fcdd, Fouke. ' Mrs. Combs had been with her husband on the local construction. UN Resumes Its Debate Over Congo shattered bodies, victims ot Wednesday's plane disaster. Among the rows of blanket-cov ered corpses were the 18 mem bers of the U.S. team headed for the world figure skating cham pionships and 32 other Americans. All were killed as the Sabena Belgian Airlines Boeing 707 jet winging in from New York divert into the back yard of a smali farm three miles from Brussels airport, '" " , The bodies lay under blue blan kets in an improvised Chapel of Rest in the main hall of the old Brussels airport building. The task of identifying the bodies fell to the U.S. consulate In many cases, only a scrap of; charred clothing or a twisted w edding ring could serve as clues Whether the bodies will be shipped back to the United States or not depends on the wishes of relatives. The consulate expects it will be several days before every thing is settled. The Boeing, the first of its tyW to crash in commercial passenger service, was shattered. A Belgian government commission started sifting the wreck to try to find the cause. Accounts from airline men who had the plane in view until sec onds before the crash led them to place first suspicion on a fault the electrical and hydraulic mechanisms which work the plane's controls. Fifteen minutes before the crash the first officer radioed "all okay." Then the plane spun out of control and shot upward before diving into the ground.

We must do our job to help mobilize support," Meany told the federation s maritime trades de partment officials. "I have the greatest confidence in that pro gram and in the President per sonally. Meany noted that business or ganizations like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers are opposing some Kennedy propos als, but added that "these people don't seem lo have learned any thing from the past." The AFL-CIO chief said that higher wages also would help off set the recession. He explained that "it is my concept that ours a high-wage, high-price econ omy."

Hammarskjold had the support of a majority of the council's members and has made it clear he has no intention to resign. By FRANK CAREY WASHINGTON (AP) The United States put up a 12 foot balloon type space vehicle today but three and one half hours later officials could not say whether it had gone into orbit around the earth. By that time the sphere, hurled up from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's station at Wal lops Island, Va., should have been far into its second trip around the planet. NASA officials said they had confirmed that the fourth stage of the "poor man's rocket" which launched the plastic and aluminum balloon had gone into orbit. The trial was a big league test for the scout rocket, a major reliance of this country in the space race with Russia. Success would mean two U.S. firsts: Achievement of orbit with a launching vehicle using the cheap er and casicr-to-handle solid pro pcllants that would eliminate many of the headaches of earlier launching:. Successful placement of a satel lite in orbit from a launching site other than Cape Canaveral, Fla., or the Pacific missile range on the Southern California coast. NASA said confirmation of orbit for the rocket casing "was based on acquisition of the tracking bea con on the casing by the Johan nesburg (South Africa) minilrack station on its second pass (around the earth)." Hopes for full success had run high from the first minutes after! the 72-foot four-stage rocket roared aloft at 8:05 a.m. EST. The 72-foot-tall, 36.600 pound, four-stage Scout, bearing a 15- pound, 12-foot diameter inflatable sphere folded like an accordion in its nose roared aloft at 8:05 a.m. EST trom the Wallops is land, Va., station of the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis tration, NASA announced here, NASA officials said the lift-off "looked good." Automatic inflation, and injec tion into orbit of the space bal loonmade of plastic and alumi num material only twice as thick as the wrapping on a cigarette package was expected to take place within about 15 minutes aft er launch, But confirmation of an orbit could take considerably longer. The mission of the Scout un officially nicknamed the "poor man's rocket" because it's rela tively inexpensive compared with some other American boosters- was to loft the balloon into an egg-shaped orbit ranging from 400 to 1,400 miles above the earth. It would stay aloft anywhere from a few weeks to a year and be visible to the naked eye at times. Agitators Arrested.
