to "intervene unilaterally" in the Congo. He said it was the duty of the United States and
other United Nations members to oppose any such intervention.
The President, opening his news conference with a statement on the Congo crisis, did
not specifically name Russia but said he was "seriously concerned at what appears to be a

to see a solution of the disarma
ment problem "with the estab

The Soviet premier said he wel
comed Kennedy's expressions of
hopes for cootsi.n'ative efforts in

This was an obvious reference
to Russia's recognition of the reb

at Stanleyville—recognition cou
pled with a promise of support
and aid.
The "only legitimate authority"
qualified to speak for the entire
Congo, Kennedy said, is. the gov

way with other
countries about .

The President announced a

Kennedy said the country is
most concerned with the plight
of 5.5 million Americans who
want to work but can't find
jobs, especially the 500,000 who
have exhausted their rights.

Canada Moves Toward U.S.
for Neutrality
Against Pleas
OTTAWA ((JP) One of the big
questions raised by recent de
velopments is whether Canada is
swinging toward neutralism or is
simply trying to steer a more in
dependent course in foreign pol
icy and defense.
There seems to be a little of
both, although officially neutral
ism is being firmly rejected in
Ottawa.
Many Canadians are unhappy
over being so closely linked to
U.S. policies. This is reflected in
official statements and even in
some actions which have inspired
critical newspaper editorials in
the United States.

Gov. to Change
Bidding System
Of State Bonds
HARRISBURG VP) Go v.
Lawrence's administration report
ed yesterday it is taking action
to change the system of bidding
on state auhority bonds to pre
vent any possibility or bid rigging.
"We want to head off any pos
sibility of collusion, which is al
ways a danger when you have a
small number of bidders," said
Dr. David H. Kurtzman, secretary
of administration.
Kurtzman said state fiscal of
ficers are studying the feasibility
of dividing up
. future authority
bond issues into smaller lots in
order to get more competition in
bidding.
The General State Authority,
state Public School Building Au
thority and Highway and Bridge
Authority presently sell their
bond issues in lots of $lO million
or more. Bids are accepted only
on the total.
Since the authorities first began
to sell bonds in 1948 only two
firms have ever purchased them.
The firms—representing syndi
cates of bond underwriters—were
usually the only two submitting
bids.
Kurtzman suggested that the
bond issues could be divided in
to "packages" of $500,000 as a
means of attracting more bidders.
One Canadian television com
mentator described Canada's po
sition this way: "We're sitting on
a powder keg. We're nervous that
the Americans might drop a
lighted match •by mistake. This,
more than anything else, explains
the rise of neutralism in Canada,
the urge not to be there when the
powder keg blows up."
Says Prime Minister John G.
Diefenbaker: "Neutrality may be
expedient for some countries. It
is not for us."
Cairo Mobs Burn

CAIRO, Egypt (JP)—Mobs demanding vengeance for death

British Embassies and U. S. Information Agency office.
The violent outburst was the latest of a series that have
seen attacks on seven Belgian em
bassies or consulates around the
world in the past three days.
Students led by Africans study

Embassy after it was, abandoned
