For Congo Referendum
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (/P) Deposed Premier Patrice Lumumba asked the United
Nations yesterday to supervise a referendum in the Congo as a prelude to election of a new
president. He said such a step was nefcessary to end a reign of terror under his rival, Pres
ident Joseph Kasavubu.
Lumumba’s request came as Pierre Wigny, Belgian fore
Space Capsule
Caught in Flight
By Air Force
VANDERBERG AIR FORCE
BASE, Calif, (3») An Air Force
plane, swooping over the Pacific,
yesterday made history's second
aerial catch of a capsule kicked
from an orbiting satellite. ]
A big Cl 19 Flying Box Car,|
dubbed Peiican II and piloted byi
Capt. Bene W. Jones, snagged thej
parachute of an instrument pack
age from Discoverer XVII—a so-'
phisticated new moonlet expected!
to become a work-horse in var-j
ions United States satellite pro-;
grams. |
The gold-plated, 300-pound cap
sule was ejected on the 31st or
bital pass, a little more than tvvq
days after its rocket was launched
at this West Coast space base.
Reverse rockets slowed it, then
its parachute blossomed and it
floated down over the ocean near
Hawaii. -
The plane crew spotted it 10
minutes later, snatched it with a
trapeze-like device, and headed
for Hawaii.
The Air Force said: ‘‘From first
orbit accpiisition through re-entry
and recovery this has been our
most successful operation in the
Discoverer series."
Thus, on only the second try,
the Air Force scored a success
with its new model satellite,
Agena B. Try Number 1, with Dis
coverer XVI, failed when the
shot failed to achieve orbit. With
the old model, Agenn A, there
were 12 failures before the first
success.
Legislature Ends
Before Terms Expire
HARRISBURG (/P) Penn
sylvania’s lawmakers agreed
quickly yesterday to end the
first annual legislative session
in the state’s history.
In quick succession, the Repub-'
lican-controlled Senate and the
Dcmocratic-dominated House un
animously passed a resolution to
wind up business IG days before
the automatic expiration of the
lawmakers’ terms.
Thus ended a months-tong
stalemate which had seen House
Democrats frustrated time and
again in attempts to convince the
Senate to close up shop for good.
Democrais argued that the
session the first under the
constitutional amendment pro
viding for annual instead of bi
ennial assembly meetings
had nothing to do since the first
few weeks. But Republicans
kept the session going by a
string of recesses.
In recent weeks, Republicans
had said the session should con
tinue to give backing and subpoe
na powers, to the Senate vote

drawal of his country from the
United Nations, and described the
U.N. operation in the Congo as
a failure.
Wigny made his statements at
a news conference called by him
to deny U.N. charges that Bel
gian nationals are trying to stir
up trouble in their former Afri
can colony.
Wigny said that the report sub
mitted recently by Indian Am
bassador Rajeshwar Dayal, U.N,
special representative in the
go, disclosed the failure of the
United Nations to restore order
in the new African republic.
He asserted Belgium could
not be singled out as the villain
responsible for the U.N. failure.
Dayal had accused Belgian ci
vilians of frying io block U.N.
objectives in the Congo.
Wigny added that his govern
ment “could not see the way of
remaining as a membjbr of the
United Nations in the ifuture” if
U.N. officials “do not exercise the
rules and restrictions imposed
upon them as public officers."
Lumumba's position was set
forth in a letter to Frederick H.
Boland of Ireland, president of
the U.N. General Assembly, that
contained criticism of the United
States.
The Congolese leader charged
that a fund of 30 million francs,
$600,000, seized recently at
Stanleyville from a group plot
ling to assume power, "came
from United Stales sources."
He did not identify Ihe group
by name, or elaborate further.
He said the Congolese people

government in defending Bel
gium against the eriiicism voiced
by Ambassador Dayal.

But Sen. William Z. Scott, (R-
Carbon), committee chairman,
said yesterday he felt the com
mittee could complete its job
without subpoena powers.
He said the committee should
have recommendations on re
medial legislation early in the
1961 session.
There was almost a holiday air
as the long session ground to a
halt.
Congratulations were given to
members who won re-election to
another term. Those who lost re
ceived private words of sympa
thy from friends and there were
brief speeches from many of the
senators and representatives who
are retiring.
Although the session has
stretched out over almost 11
months, there have been only 15
legislative days, broken up by 15
recesses.

Racial Integration
NEW ORLEANS, La. (/P)—
Four Negro girls broke the
color barrier of the Deep

marching into two white

The two races have not been
mixed in Louisiana elementary
and secondary schools since re

War.
Physical resistance to actual in

a gathering of 75 state policemen
working for the state legislature.
Nor was fhere violence among
the racially mixed crowds of
spectators.

yelled it again and again. It was
Wright who issued the desegrega

When three cars containing
three Negro first graders pulled
up to McDonogh, No. 19 school,

gray stucco building and came out
holding her one child by the
hand, White spectators cheered.
One Negro girl, weai’ing a white
dress and with white ribbons in
her hair, drew boos at the Frantz
school.
William Frantz is located in a
workingman’s neighborhood in
east New Orleans. McDonogh No.
19 is located on a busy avenue
in the center of the city.
City police blocked off a two
block area around Frantz.
The city’s police superintendent,
Joseph Giarrusso, said police
were there strictly to preserve
order.
The three Negro girls left Mc-
Donogh at 2:45 p.m. picked up
in three cars by federal marshals.
“You better not come back to
morrow,” someone in the crowd—
j swelled to 400 at school closing—
yelled as the cars pulled away.
The one Negro girl at the Frantz
School left promptly at 2:30 p.m.,
in a car driven by a federal
marshal.
School Board President Lloyd
Rittiner told newsmen he believed
“the worst is over’’ and the lack
of any “appreciable amount of
demonstrations indicates the peo
ple of New Orleans are going to
accept the inevitable.”
