Tshombe Mobilizes Katanga;
ag Hopes to Avert Civil War
ELISABETHVILLE, Katanga, the Congo
(iP)—President Moise Tshombe yesterday
ordered all able-bodied Katangans mobilized
against the U.N. Congo Command's newly
won authority to use force to prevent civil
war.
Blacks and white alike of this secessionist
province got their orders by radio,
as they did last August when
Tshombe used the threat of blood
shed to stall the entry of a UN
vanguard for a week.
In bitter reaction to the Secu
rity Council's newest decision,
the Negro leader called UN sol
diers enemies and told a news
conference that UN experts are
men "whose incapacity has been
demonstrated." He said he is pre
pared to close the border.
But he avoided a question
whether he would try to dis
arm UN detachments already
garrisoned within Katanga, say
ing: "I have not officially been
informed of the council reso
lution."
The council authorized the UN
Congo Command, headed by Irish
Lt. Gen. Sean MicKeown, to use
force if necessary to put down
the threat of war among rival
Congolese factions.
That command, reduced by the
recall of Moroccan and United
Arab Republic detachments to
about 17,500 effectives. has been
under orders to shoot only in self
defense.
Tshombe's soldiers at the mo
ment are campaigning to drive
rebel Baluba tribesmen from
northern Katanga. Farther
north, a collision Threatens be
tween Congo national and Lu
mumba armies.
Tshombe also rejects a part of
the resolution calling for with
drawal from the Congo of all Bel
gian military and political ad
visers. Such an exodus would
strip his administration and army
of key men. He said the Belgians
will have to stay, even if Bel-1
gium orders them home.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (ill—Secretary-
General Dag Hammarskjold yesterday called
for additional U.N. soldiers to carry out a
Security Council peace plan aimed at averting
civil war in the Congo.
Hammarskjold welcomed the plan-spon-'
sored by the United Arab Republic, Ceylon
and Liberia as giving a strong-!
er and clearer mandate for the!
much-criticized U.N. Congo op
erations. The United States back-i
ed the resolution. Many diplomats!
were encouraged by the fact that
Soviet Union withheld a threat-;
ened veto and simply abstained.'
The Soviets bowed to Asian-
African pressure after they
found no support for a Soviet
demand for the liquidation of
the U.N. Congo operation and
the dismissal of Hammarskjold
as secretary-general.
Soviet Delegate Valerian A. Zo
rin insisted that the three-nation'
resolution gave Hammarskjold no
new instructions, but reither the'
secretary-general nor the Western
powers accepted this intepreta-:
tion.
Hammarskjold expressed be
;lief that countries row contribut
1.
l ing contingents mostly Asians;
and Africans would strengthen!
the U.N. force by further contri-!
butions.
His appeal came as he strug-1
gled to hang onto the forces he
has at present. The force has'
dwindled from a high of nearly,
20,000 men to about 17,500, with
other sizable contingents sched
uled to withdraw in the next two:
weeks.
Burma Troops
Crush Rioting
Anti-U.S. Mobs
RANGOON, Burma (JP) Gun
fire of Burmese troops yesterday
crushed the biggest anti-Ameri
can demonstration ever seen in
this neutral nation.
Steel-helmeted soldiers opened
up with automatic weapons on a
mob estimated at 10,000 persons
outside the U.S. Embassy.
Bullets seriously injured five of
the mob, which had proved too
rough for police to handle.
Thirty-five rioters and three po
licemen were seriously hurt in
earlier hand-to-hand fighting.
The demonstrators were pro
testing the supplying of U.S.-
marked arms to Chinese National
ist guerrillas holed up in the
jungle along the Burma-Thailand
border.
U.S. officials are investigating
to determine how the weapons got
to the guerrillas, former soldiers
of Chiang Kai-shek. They stayed
behind when Chiang's armies
moved to Formosa after the Chi
nese Communists conquered main
land China in 1949.
Police threw up barricades 25
yards from the embassy and used
[ 'tear gas bombs and fire hoses to
fight off most of the rioters.
Some, however, stormed the bar
ricades and battled the police
with sticks and stones.

VMSHINGTON (!P)L—Presi
dent Kennedy gave congres
sional leaders a priority list of
16 bills yesterday with heavy
emphasis on helping the unem
ployed.
The Democratic leaders, Sen.
Mike Mansfield of Montana and
House Speaker Sam Rayburn of
Texas, promised speedy action.
Mansfield, after conferring with
the heads of major Senate com
mittees, said they will "shoot for
consideration of all major bills by
July 31."
Mansfield said not all of the
Democratic chairmen are pre
pared to support all Kennedy's
proposals, but he said they are
"ready and willing" to move
them along for Senate action.
All Senate Democrats were
summoned to a party caucus next
Monday to discuss the Kennedy
program. Mansfield said Vice
President Lyndon B. Johnson will
preside at the session.
Topping Kennedy's list, as giv
en out after the weekly White
House conference of legislative
leaders with the President, were
these measures:
•Emergency extension of un
employment compensation.
*Making children of unem
ployed parents eligible for fed
eral-state aid.
•Providing more liberal So
cial Security benefits and extend
ing coverage.
•Setting up a program of fed-
ter chef
ialties!
Sizzling steak dinners

eral aid for economically de
pressed areas.
A dozen more measures on a
variety of subjects follo•.ved.
White House press secretary Pi
erre Salinger at first said the 16
bills were listed in order of pri
ority but later he said all were
priority measures and should be
undertaken at the earliest oppor
tunity.
The House Ways and Means
Committee late yesterday reached
tentative agreement on an emer
gency unemployment compensa
ion bill and may act soon on the
aid for children measure. Other
committee action is under way on
the depressed areas aid bill.
