Firing Squad Executes Con g olese Rebel
KINSHASA, Congo A firing squad haS executed
Pierre Mulele, who led bloody insurrections in eastern sec
tors of the Congo in 1961-64, the government announced
yesterday. •
The guns were reported to have felled him at a secret
site about dawn.
Mulele was a 39-year-old Peking -trained leftist who
turned against the central government after serving as
education minister in the Patrice Lumumba regime, which
took control when Belgium granted this African territory
independence in '1960.
A special military court had sentenced Mulele to death
for thn 1961-64 rebellion after a 15-hour trial Tuesday, 10
days after he returned from exile in the neighboring Conro
Republic Brazzaville under a presumed amnesty.
Brazzaville broke off diplomatic relations with the
Congo last night in protest against the trial and execution.

Hanoi Challenges LBJ To Halt Attacks
PARIS Hanoi's chief envoy to the Paris peace talks,
Xuan Thuy, challenged President Johnson yesterday to
halt all U.S. attacks against North Vietnam as a move to
ward peace while he "still has enough time and power."
Thuy offered nothing concrete in return.
• U.S. Ambassador W. Averell Harriman told Thuy that
the United States is willing to move far and fast toward
peace the minute "your government gives us reason to
believe it is also prepared to act."
Talking later with newsmen, Harriman said: "We made
no progress at all."
While calling for an end to the American bombing and
other operations above the border, Thuy offered no assur
ance that North Vietnam would respond with anything
more definite than a discussion of "questions of interest to
both parties."
U.S. spokesman William Jorden, addressing newsmen
after the meeting, said: "It's quite evident that President
Johnson has the time and the power to stop the bombing,
and I think he will do it when he feels that the situation
is appropriaite and would lead toward peace."

Peace Hopes Shine in Israeli Statement
UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. The United States de
tected a ray of hope yesterday in the latest official Israeli
statement on prospects of peace in the Middle East, but
Arab diplomats said a first look uncovered nothing new.
Abba Eban, the Israeli foreign minister, offered to the
General Assembly Tuesday what he described as a com
prehensive program for building a permanent peace with
the Arab nation.
A U.S. spokesman described Eban's speech as im
portant, and stressed anew the emphasis the United States
was placing on the private negotiations taking place at the
United Nations under the auspices of Gunnar V. Jarring,
the U.N.,peace envoy. •
"We note the foreign minister's assurance that Israel
will cooperate in this task," the spokesman added.

Attempt at Thieu Overthrow Foiled
SAIGON—A coup attempt against Nguyen Van Thieu's
government has been foiled and mass arrests of ranking
South Vietnamese officers are expected, a high govern
ment source said yesterday.
An official spokesman for Thieu, however, denied
knowledge of any coup , attempt, although he admitted
the government had placed South Vietnam's armed forces
on full alert. The U.S. Embassy also said it had no infor
mation about an abortive coup.
The source, who is in a position to know, told The
Associated Press that several Vietnamese majors and
colonels had already ben arrested.
"You can expect a lot of people to be arrested in the
next few days as a result of the coup attempt that failed,"
he said.
The source reported that the coup was thwarted Tues
day night. If true, it was the first attempt to overthrow
Thieu's government since he came into power in October,

Apollo 7 Lift-off Progresses Smoothly
CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. -- The three Apollo 7 astro
nauts fine-tuned their pilot skills yesterday while tech
nicians at their launch pad worked smoothly toward an
on-time lift-off Friday for an 11-day flight that could set
America back on course for the moon.
Even as Navy Capt. Walter M. Schirra Jr., Air Force
Maj. Donn F. Eisele and civilian astronaut Walter Cunning
ham drilled in a computer-driven mock spacecraft, three
other spacemen who may fly around the moon at Christmas
time saw their huge Saturn 5 rocket rolling to a launch
pad seven miles away from that of Apollo 7. •
The two event—Apollo 7 preparations and rollout of
the 363-foot-tall Saturn 5 vehicle to be launched about
Dec. 20—combined to demonstrate that the nation's man to
the moon program apparently has recovered from the
stunning setback' received when three astronauts died in
