PAGE FOUR Dennis, Guthrie Discuss Effect on Corps' Future WASHINGTON—LavvIence E. Dennis, associate direc tor of the Peace Corps, said last night that the death of U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold should not have any effect on Peace Corps projects. “The Corps is an ideological enterprize,” Dennis said, “and sliould not be effected by a mix-up in the United Nations” Another member of the Peace Corps holds a slightly different view. Dr. George M. Guthrie, as sociate director of the Philippine's project now at the University, said that any uncertainly in the United Nations could effect the Corps. "Many United Nation agencies work in countries which would like Peace Corps help, "Guthrie said, "but if the security of the U.N. is endangered by the Sec- j reiary General's death, these j countries would probably be ! hesitant about having any other | outside help." Guthrie said when the coun-! tries have U.N. agencies helping! them they are more apt to bet outgoing about seeking such for-; eign help as the Peace Corps.| "Bill if the U.N. agencies are re-! moved from these countries,” he, said, "they will probably be re-! ticcnt to ask for Peace Corps! volunteers. , 1 Dennis and Gunthrie both said, that at present the Peace Corps! Hammarskjold (Continued from page one) menis later the plane climbed again and disappeared. News that the wreckage had just been sighted came as Tshombe opened a news conference here with a call for a truce between his Katanga forces and U.N. troops. Tshombe said: "If Hammarskjold has died it is bad for the Congo. We Africans should be grateful for everything he has done for Africa." Hammarskjold had been U.N. secretary-general since 1953. The slight, sandy-haired Swede died on the eve of a General Assembly session dealing with such problems as Berlin and Red China. “The crew were all very experienced men,” said a U.N. spokesman. “There was something very strange.” The crashed plane, which had been assigned the U.N. military force commander, Lt. Gen. Sean McKeown, was shot up at Elisabeth'/ille a day or so ago. A bullet from the ground damanged the plane’s exhaust pipe in one engine. This was later substituted when it reached Leopoldville and a thorough check was made on the aircraft for possible other damage. A vast air search was launched at daylight yesterday, when it became evident Hammarskjold’s plane would have exhausted its fuel. V.N., British, American and Rodesian fliers participated.. The search crews finally found the wreck in the forest preserve, about five miles north of Ndola. The airliner had sheared through trees as it plunged to earth and was shattered by the impact. Two of the four en gines disappeared. Is Your Room Like a If so ...

We send them techni ; cal assistance and teachers," he I said, "They need these, and 1 ! see no reason why they should not ask for ihem." ! Guthrie said that the current [situation in the U.N. might not !have much of an effect on the pro jects that are already operating in countries. But, he said, if the [stabilizing element of the U.N.

In Africa, where Hammarskjold was kiled, there are already pro jects in three countries —Tangan- yika, Ghana and Nigeria.

N. forces, at the re quest of the Leopoldville central government attempted to take over the province from President Moise Tshombe’s regime in an effort to unify the Congo. For the first time central gov ernment troops were reported in ; northern Katanga. Britain meanwhile called for swift new efforts to effect a cease-fire between U. N. and Kafanga forces. The British Foreign Office said Tsombe and Dag Hammarskjold had agreed on a cease-fire yester day before the U. N. secretary general was killed in a plane crash in northern Rhodesia. It urged new talks he set up be tween Tshombe and ‘‘the senior U. N. representation.” In KitW'ee, northern Rhodesia, Tshombe said he would negotiate peace with any successor to Hammarskjold, but not with the chief Katanga representative, Conor Cruise O’Brien of Ireland. “I will talk to anybody of good faith,” Tshombe said.
