Union Indians See TV Brothers Lose
By Blaine King
Four Kanza Indian chiefs, a bit bedraggled after many losing battles, hang on a screen in the main lounge of the Kansas Union.
These chiefs won't see many victories in the future, either. Next to the one-time warriors stand the Union TV sets. No Indian since Tonto has won a battle in Hollywood.
The chiefs are handicapped. When next the janitor attacks, "Sho-Me-Cos-Se" (The Wolf), will fight without his right hand. "Chesh-Oo-Hongha" (Man of Good Sense), has suffered a vicious tombawk slash that left the fingers on his right hand dangling by a flap of skin.
Black Flags Signal Death
TOPEKA — (UPI) — All Topeka city police cars today were flying black flags in recognition of the city's first traffic fatality of the year.
The city's first death was that of Eva Mae Sweet, 6, a kindergarten student killed when she was struck by an auto near her home yesterday.
The black flags were supplied as part of a public service traffic safety project sponsored by a local radio station.
Radio station and police vehicles will fly the triangular black flags for 24 hours following each city traffic fatality.
US Communist Party Slams Red Chinese
NEW YORK — (UPI) — The Communist Party of the United States charged today that the "er- roneous and dangerous" policies of Communist China threaten world disaster.
The party issued a 2,300-word statement supporting the "peaceful coexistence" policy of Soviet Premier Nikita K. Shrushchev.
THE FOUR CHEFS, halved latly stares into the corner of his burlap-covered room divider. Their feet are a foot off the floor, which is just as well. The chiefs have never succeeded in driving away the janitor. The bottom of their divider is stained gray by repeated floor scrubbings.
The chiefs were purchased in 1952 when the first addition to the Union was completed.
Ken White Associates Inc. the commercial designers that decorated the Union, suggested Indians as decoration reminiscent of Kansas history.
Now, "Wa-Hon-Ga-Shee" (No Fool) stands with one arm across his chest, holding a pastel turquoise blanket. A mass of feathers stiff with red paint juts from his head.
"MEACH-O-SHIN-GAW" patiently starts into the corner of his little section of wall divider. The ostrich feather affixed to his forehead droops a bit.
"Chesh-Oo--Hongha looks straight ahead from under his skull cap, which might well have served as the model for Aunt Jemima. Five bent feathers straggle over "CheshOo-Hongha's" ears.
"Sho-Me-Cos-Se" has not only lost a hand, but the pigmentation on his chest has been rubbed away. The person that tried to repair the damage allowed paint to run, leaving "Sho-Me-Cos-Se" with an orange steak on his abdomen.
Someday the four-foot warriors may roam that happy hunting ground reserved for cigar store Indians, buffaloes from nickles, and decorative figurines. But right now the most important battle they face is the next Cub Scout tour of the "Big College Campus."
U.N. Frees Katangese Rebel Chief
MOKAMBO, Katanga, The Congo — (UPI)—Katanga President Moise Tshombe drove in triumph to this border town today to meet his aides and greet thousands of wildly cheering Katangese citizens.
The move came shortly after he was released by United Nations forces at his Presidential Palace in Elisabethville. The U.N. said last night he was under "house arrest." But today a U.N. spokesman in New York, in announcing that Tshombe had called off his threatened "scorched earth" policy of destruction in Katanga, technically never was under house arrest.
Even though the U.N. spokesman's statement made it appear Tshombe was free from restraint, there was still another complication. The Central Congolese delegation to the U.N. in New York conferred with its government in Leopoldville and then announced that Tshombe still was "under U.N. surveillance."
TSHOMBE was permitted to leave the Presidential Palace following the intervention of the British and Belgian consuls in Elisabethville. A short time later, he drove south.
The intervention brought an order from the Central Congolese government in Leopoldville for British Consul Derek Dodson and Belgian Consul Frederik Vandewalle to get out of Katanga within 24 hours.
The Congolese news agency reported from Leepoldville that Congolese Foreign Minister Justin Bomboko told British Ambassador Sir Derek Riches and Belgian Ambassador Count Kerkhove at Dentergem that he wanted the consuls removed promptly.
The news agency said he told the ambassadors the decision was motivated by "the political position recently adapted by these western diplomats (in Ellisabethville) and which are incompatible with their functions."
Both Britain and Belgium have voiced strong protests over the use of force by the U.N. in Katanga.
House Battle Hurts An Old Campaigner
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Just two years ago Rep. Howard W. Smith, D-Va., lean and stooped and about to turn 78, was licking his wounds and planning his future.
The House Rules Committee, which for years he had pretty much in his pocket, had just been handed over by a 217-212 vote of the House to control of then-speaker Sam Rayburn.
"As far as I know," said Judge Smith, philosophically, "I am still chairman of the Rules Committee.
TODAY, AS LEAN as ever, a little more stooped and just short of his 80th birthday, the veteran Virginia conservative couldn't say even that for a fact.
And the House yesterday ruled loud and clear, on a vote of 235-196, in favor of Speaker McCormack.
Speaker John W. McCormack this time had delayed all committee appointments, including those to the traffic-cop committee on rules, until he had settled once again the question of who was to be the real boss of the House.
The question yesterday was whether to make that enlargement permanent. President Kennedy had said if this was not done, his remaining New Frontier legislative proposals were dead.

In the showdown, furthermore, he got 28 Republican votes against the 22 picked up by Rayburn.
Smith contemplating the wreckage of his hopes to regain control, had no suggestions on what caused all the switches. Nor would he outline his probable course.
