Asian-African Plan for Congo
Gets Full Support From U.S.
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (?P)—The United States threw its support last night behind
an Asian-African plan for peace in the Congo.
U.S. Chief Delegate Adlai E. Stevenson urged the 11-nation Security Council to ap
prove an Asian-African resolution authorizing use of force by the United Nations, if needed,
as a last resort to stop civil war in the Congo.
Stevenson's appeal came after Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold announced the
Parade Committee
Names Float Rules
Hundreds of feet of chicken wire and thousands of
colored tissues will be transformed into some phase of "The
American Heritage" on April 28, the date set for the Spring
Week float parade.
Packets containing applications and information will be
avialable at the Hetzel Union desk
at the end of this week for fra
ternities. sororities and independ
ent groups wishing to enter the
parade, Robert Polishook, co
chairman of the Float Parade, said
yesterday.
The packet will contain post
cards on which groups should
put their first and second cate
gory choices. The cards should
be mailed to the Float Parade
committee by March 6, Poli
shook said.
It is not necessary to have the
same category for a float as for
a carnival skit. Categories and
themes will be given on a "first
come first served" basis, Polishook
said.
Groups will be notified imme
diately as to what category they
will be in, Polishook said. Then
they should plan their floats and
submit final drawings to the HUB
desk by March 20, he said.
Floats should be no longer
than 24 feet and no wider than
12 feet. They should be no high
er than 15 feet from the ground.
There are no minimum require.
ments.
Any animal or motor may be
used to supply power to pull the
floats. If, however, an animal
causes delay or disturbance in the
parade, the float will be disquali
fied.
If a vehicle pulling a float is
underneath the construction, it
must be included in the overall
dimensions. If a vehicle is not
under the float, it will not be

Lecture Series
Will Present
Cousins Friday
Norman Cousins, editor of the
Saturday Review, will appear at
8:30 p.m. Friday in Schwab. The
talk is sponsored by the Univer
sity Lecture Series.
Tickets will he available at
1:30 p.m. today at the Hetzel
Union desk.
Cousins has been the editor of
the Saturday Review since 1940
and during that time the. maga
zine has expanded in scope from
a purely literary weekly to a
journal now dealing with ideas
and the development of our na
tional culture.
In his most recent book, "In
God We Trust: The Religious Be
liefs of the Founding Fathers,"
Cousins incorporates his work as
chairman of the Governor's Fact-
Finding Commission on Educa
tion in Connecticut.
In addition to his literary ca
reer, Cousins has represented the
United States on good will mis
sions to India, Pakistan, Ceylon
and Japan besides lecturing wide
ly throughout Asia on America's
institutions.
The ÜBA will continue to
return money for sold books
today. Unsold books will also
be returned.

executions in southern Kasai
province of associates of the slain
Congo ex-premier Patrice Lu
mumba.
The U.S. delegate said the
Asian-African proposal was the
only practical measure before
the council.
"It is obvious that any Security
Council resolution calling for a
United Nations act must be car
ried out by the secretary-gener
al," Stevenson said.
The big question was whether
the Soviet Union would veto the
proposal. Such action would re
sult in demands for an immediate
session of the U.N. General As
sembly.
Stevenson said also there was
merit in a suggestion from Li
beria that the council meet in the
Congo, but only after action was
taken here for restoration of law
and order.
He said such a move would
"put the United Nations in Afri
ca with dramatic impact," and
the U.S. Air Force might sup
ply the transportation.
Ceylon, the United Arab Re
public and Liberia sponsored the
Congo peace plan which had sup
port of a large segment of Asian-
African nations.
The same three nations put in
another resolution demanding
that the council condemn politi
cal assassinations and call upon
authorities in Leopoldville, Elisa
bethville and Kasai "immediate
ly to put an end to such prac
tices."
The resolution asked U.N.
authorities in the Congo to take
all possible measures, including
use of force, to prevent occur
rence of such outrages. It sought
also an investigation and pun-
ishment of those responsible for
the killings. Delegates of the
three nations asked priority for
their latest resolution.
In addition, George Padmore,
delegate from Liberia, said he
was prepared to introduce anoth
er resolution calling for a council
meeting in the Congo, or a neigh
boring Congo country.
The Soviet Union blamed Ham
marskjold for the new killings.

Lion-WVa Game
By SANDY PADWE
If George King didn't sleep well last night, it's not sur
prising.
The young West Virginia basketball coach sends his
Mountaineers against Penn State tonight minus the services
of high-scoring Rod Thorn.
Thorn, who is averaging 20 points per game, will miss
tonight's Rec Hall contest (8 p.m.)
due to an ankle injury suffered
against Pitt Saturday.
' "His ankle was pretty weak so
we decided to leave him at home,"
King said. "We hope he's ready
for George Washington this.week
end."
Heavy Rain
Due Tonight,
Tomorrow
A storm system that is load
ed with moisture is expected
to bring heavy rain to Penn
sylvania tonight and early
tomorrow, raising the threat
of floods in many areas of the
state.
The precipitation may begin as
snow or sleet early today, but
only minor accumulations are pre
dicted and the rain that follows
will quickly wash away any
frozen precipitation that does fall.
The rain and warm weather
that was common to all areas of
the state during the weekend
caused much of the snow to melt.
However, considerable snow re
mains in the mountainous areas.
In fact, 8 to 15 inches of water
soaked snow and ice still cover
the higher terrain.
This snow and ice represent a
serious flood threat and the
heavy rains of tonight and tomor
row morning may melt enough
snow to set off a severe flood.
In any event, it appears that
minor flooding will occur along
all of the smaller streams and
rivers during the next two days.
The storm system, which is re
sponsible for the forecast of heavy
precipitation, is heading towards
this area from the western Gulf
of Mexico. Rainfall amounts along
its path are expected to be quite
heavy, possibly 3 to 4 inches in
some areas.
One to three inches of rain
should fall in Pennsylvania in the
next 36 hours.
The local forecast calls for
cloudy skies and cold weather
,for today with snow or sleet be
ginning this morning and chang
ing to rain during mid-day. To
day's high temperature should
be near 35 degrees.
Rain, probably heavy at times,
and slowly rising temperatures
are expected tonight and early
tomorrow.
The precipitation IN ill end to
morrow, but skies rhould remain
cloudy and temperatures are ex
pected to be rather mild.

The Mounties (20-3) also
played without Thorn a week
ago in Morgantown where they
just managed to nip Penn State,
80-78, on Kenny Ward's last
second jump shot. At that lime
Thorn was bedded down with
the flu.
The sophomore sensation was
sorely missed last Tuesday and
when King thinks of Penn State's
home-court advantage tonight he
suddenly grows pale.
In addition to the home-court
advantage, the Lions have a few
other things working for them.
The most important is Mark
DuMars' return to the Penn State
lineup.
DuMars, who lost his scoring
lead to Gene Harris over the
weekend when he missed the
Colgate-Syracuse road trip, IS
healthy again after a bout with
the grippe.
Without him, State lost to Col

DuMars usually saves his best
performances for the Mountain
eers and has scored 119 points
against them during his career.
The law of averages also will be
working for State tonight.
