U.N. Takes Kolwezi Without Shooting
As Tshombe Upholds Pledge Terms
KOLWEZI, Katanga (!V) A
U.N. Congo Command column
copied Kolwezi peacefully yester
day, gaining entry to President
Moise Tshombc's last stronghold
—as lie had pledged—without a

The occupation appeared to be
the last of the military operations
setting the stage for the return
of Katanga and its mineral riches
to control by Premier Cyrille
Adoula’s debt-burdened central
Congo government.

Report Repeals Tax Cut Repest
WASHINGTON (/Pj—President
Kennedy, confessing a sense of
frustration in his efforts to get the
U.S. economy going full blast,
argued anew yesterday for mas
sive lax cuts to touch off a “chain
reaction" of consumer spending
and business investment.
IN HIS ANNUAL economic
report to Congress, Kennedy said
notable gains were made in 196'2
and, “The outlook for continued
moderate expansion in 1963 is now
favorable."
But rapid economic growth can
not take place, he said, until the
“unrealistically heavy burden of
taxation” is lightened.
“The slate of the economy pos
es a perplexing challenge to the
American people,” lie said at one
point.
Kennedy lifted the wvaps a bit

TSHOMBE personally wel
comed its Indian commander,
Brig. Reginald Noronha, at his
Kolwezi residence.
The Katangan leader, smiling
and joking, asked the Indian of
ficer whether he had run into any
trouble.
“No, and I want to thank you
for keeping your word,” Noronda
replied. “We are not coining as
conquerors, but as friends of the
Congolese people.”
Tshombe agreed last week to
give the United Nations freedom
more from his proposed tax pack
age which he outlined in his
State of the Union message and
which he will detail in a tax mes
sage later this month. '
He disclosed officially for the
first time that the proposed slash
es in individual income taxes
would take effect July 1, 1963—if
Congress approves. This would
mean an estimated tax savings
of about $3 billion in the last six
months of this year, and about
$8 billion a year when the cuts
are in full effect.

been expected at Pumpi, but
chose instead to devote the time
to disbanding the remnants of his

apparently doomed the French
concept of a Continental “third
force.” ,
West German and French
.spokesmen stressed that the ac
cord, to be published tonight or
tomorrow noon, would be an open
one, not limited to the two coun
tries.. This might satisfy such na
tions as Italy, which has been
nervous about a German-French
inner alliance and has looked to
closer ties with Britain to offset
it.
A FRENCH SPOKESMAN spe
cified that the agreement would
be considered a treaty, subject to
ratification at least in West Ger
many and probably also in France.
He quoted both de Gaulle and
Adenauer as saying they hoped
the document would be speedily
ratified and put into application.
The significance of this is that
the West German Bundestag is
hostile to any “third force”
scheme.
