New UN Action Expected In Congo
Page 9
ELISABETHVILLE — (UPI) — U.S. Air Force Globemaster transports today flew troops and supplies to Katanga, indicating a major U.N. offensive may be imminent. Katanga appealed to Undersecretary Ralph Bunche to investigate "cruel and inhuman actions of the U.N. force.
The transports brought in 700 Ethiopian troops, $22\frac{1}{2}$ tons of ammunition and supplies, and 14 jeeps. Another 105 Ethiopians arrived from Kindu, and informed sources said 250 Swedish troops were brought in last night to double the size of the Swedish contingent.
The Katanga government asked that Bunche, the American U.N. Undersecretary, come to Elisabeti-ville from Leopoldville, where he is discussing the Katanga situation with U.N. and Congolese officials.
IT SAID BUNCHE could "bring to the world proof of the cruel, inhuman actions of the U.N. armed forces on free Katanga soil." It offered him an armed escort and guaranteed "free movement."
A government communique said seven civilians have been killed and 25 wounded in the U.N. mortar bombardment of the city last night and today. It said more than 200 shells were fired and 80 per cent of them hit "non-military objectives."
The mortar fire came from the direction of the Swedish U.N. camp and was directed against central Elisabethville. It started huge fires and forced evacuation of a center housing white refugees. The barrage damaged several buildings but there were no reports of casualties other than the Katanga claim.
THE RED CROSS ordered evacuation of the Institute International, Elisabethville's largest school, which had been used to house refugees. Some of them reported several shells exploded on the school grounds.
The Katanga communique said President Moise Tshombe's residence and the homes of two of his cabinet ministers and his police chief were shelled.
Israel Asks Death For Eichmann
JERUSALEM — (UPI) — Israel asked the death penalty for Adolf Eichmann today. But Eichmann told the court he was "disappointed" at the decision and said he did not recognize his guilt.
Israeli Attorney General Gideon Hauser demanded death for Eichmann for his part in the murder of six million Jews by the Nazis during and before World War II. He said Eichmann had sacrificed any hope for mercy because of the "enormity" of his misdeeds which had caused him to cross the barrier between man and beast.
BUT EICHMANN, in a dramatic eleventh-hour plea to save his life, told the court that "I do not recognize my guilt. My expectation for justice was disappointed."
Reading a prepared statement from his bullet-proof glass cage in the courtroom, Eichmann claimed he was only following orders and that "those who gave the orders justly deserve punishment."
"The mass murder was solely the guilt of the political leadership," he said. "The evidence given in this court shocked me considerably, but the misdeeds were committed against my will."
IN A CALM, unemotional voice,
Eichmann said;
"I am the victim of a misconception. I must suffer for the acts of others. I must bear the burden imposed upon me by fate."
The three Israeli judges who yesterday convicted Eichmann of all 15 grisly counts against him are expected to hand down their verdict tomorrow or Friday.
freestanding Judge Moshe Landau, who with two other German-born judges yesterday convicted Eichmann on all 15 counts against him, announced that sentence would be pronounced at 1 a.m. (CST) Friday.
A second refugee train, crowded with 300 women and children, left Elisabethville for Ndola, Northern Rhodesia, across the border from Katananga.
In Brussels, the Union Miniere Du Haut Kantanga, which has extensive mining interests in Katanga, charged that the United Nations was attempting to ruin Katanga's economic structure.

UNION MINIERE chairman H. Robillart said that despite U.N. denials, he has "documentary proof and pictures" that U.N. forces damaged industrial installations, railway stations and rolling stock, and homes. He called for an international investigation."
French efforts to arrange a ceasefire made little progress in Elisabethville, and France's negotiator was nearly caught in the fighting.
Despite the loss, this year's drive will come out better than last year's, Cathey reported. Last year's drive netted $2,700, with $1,900 coming from donations and $800 from the Dave Brubeck concert.
THE DUKES of Dixieland concert ended up as a $400 loss, Cathey said. Expenses connected with the concert added up to a $900 loss, he said, with the reserve fund held over from last year's drive taking care of $500 of the loss.
Receipts reached $3,132.03 yesterday, Cathey reported, with twelve houses still to be heard from. He said the houses will bring in at least another $100, making the final figure over $3,200.
The 1931 Campus Chest drive will end with a minimum net income of $2,800, Robert Cathey, Shawnee Mission sophomore and Campus Chest treasurer, said today.
Campus Chest Total to $2,800
HOUSES WHICH still have not turned in their receipts include Templin, Carruth-O'Leary, Stephenson, Oread, Grace Pearson, and Hodder Halls, and Acacia, Beta Theta Pi, Kappa Alpha Psi, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Tau, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternities. Cathey said some of these houses may have turned in money to the All Student Council and KU-Y offices.
The Pi Kappa Phi social fraternity at the University of Louisville has been dropped from the national organization.

Harry Porter, undergraduate president of the Beta Gamma chapter of Pi Kappa Phi when the action took place, charged several alumni of the organization were prejudiced and objected to the chapter's taking Jewish members. The charge was answered by James Webb, a former chapter advisor, who asserted the fraternity's "reputation" on campus was behind the move. He cited personal conduct of the fraternity members and "petty little stunts" as the reason for the deactivation.
Ted Schartenstein, a counselor for national headquarters, issued a statement saying the chapter had been dissolved "with the sincere and honest interest of the fraternity system at the U. of L. . ."
