U.N.PressureContinues On Rebellious Katanga
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—(UPI) Secretary General U Thant proceeded today with plans to cut off the mineral revenues of Katanga province despite its new offer to share them with the Congo central government.
Thant was awaiting answers to letters he sent Britain, Portugal, South Africa and Belgium asking them to put economic pressures on Katanga President Moise Tshombe to force an end to his secession from the rest of the Congo.
A U.N. spokesman said similar letters soon would go out to all members of the world organization.
Just before meeting his 20-nation Congo advisory committee yesterday, Thant received a message from Tshombe.
THE INITIAL LETTERS WENT to the countries who control the roads and railways over which Katanga's copper and cobalt are shipped and who control the production itself.
The letters call for economic strictures. Thant refused to use the word sanction, lest this imply recognition of Katanga as a nation.
In brief, Tshombe offered to deposit $5 million with the Congo currency board or an agreed international financial institution, to be divided evenly between his regime and the central Congolese government, after provision for operating
KU Seniors Named To Wilson Contention
Fifty-nine seniors in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences have been nominated by one or more faculty members as worthy of consideration for Woodrow Wilson Fellowships.
Based on past experience, about 40 can be expected to become active applicants.
Woodrow Wilson Fellowships—one-year awards for graduate study by men and women considered prime material for college teachers—were won by 37 KU seniors in the past two years.
This record placed KU among the top 10 schools in the United States and Canada, and the two-year total was exceeded only slightly by the University of Michigan among publicly supported institutions.
expenses of the Union Miniere, Katanga's principal ore developer.
Man Wins Fox Fight
THANT TOLD HIS COMMITTEE it was an "encouraging" development on first glance, but in view of Tsombe's past erratic behavior he was taking nothing for granted.
He said the central Congolese government of Premier Cyrille Adoula would be consulted.
Thant's bid to cut off Katanga' mineral exports through Rhodesia, South Africa and Angola coincided with a letter from Adoula to 17 nations asking them to halt imports of Katanese copper and cobalt.
The assembly itself scheduled three meetings today to discuss nuclear weapons, outer space, colonialism, natural resources, Angola and South West Africa, as well as to hear a speech by President Jorge Alessandri Rodriguez of Chile.
Thant said the United Nations would not take any overt military measures but would fight back if attacked.
OXFORD, England — (UPI) — Cyril Brown, 74, said today he has won his battle with local fox hunters who wanted to ban his grandson from their forays because they thought the 8-year-old boy might fail to shut farm gates behind him.
The hunters relented after Brown banned them from chasing foxes over his 500-acre farm unless his grandson, John Lund, went along.

LANSING, Mich.—(UPI)—Gov.- Elect George Romney will have a new, low-priced auto as his official car when he takes office next year, but it won't be a Rambler.
Romney, whose leadership revived the American Motors Corp. and made it a money-maker through volume sale of the Rambler, has told state police he wants a Ford, Chevrolet or Plymouth for everyday use. All three models are produced in Michigan, while the Rambler is made in Wisconsin.
Romney Wants Car, But Not A Rambler
Romney will retain for standby use on special occasions the luxurious Chrysler Crown Imperial limousine which outgoing Gov. John B. Swainson and former Gov. C. Mennen Williams used as the official car for the past four years.
The state police, out of whose budget the governor's car is maintained, said the Chrysler was about due for a trade-in but is still in good enough condition for occasional use.
Romney asked for only one special accessory, a reclining front seat, state police said. The Ramblers Romney has previously driven all are so equipped.
Plans Awry, Senator Breakfasts Twice
MEXICO CITY-(UPI)-Sen. Hubert Humphrey, D-Minn. laughingly told newsmen last night that from now on he is going to pay closer attention to the planning of his foreign visits.
"I made the mistake of letting several people arrange my morning schedule today," Humphrey said. "We wound up having two breakfasts—the first one at the slaughter house where I shook more hands than I did during the last campaign back home.
"Let me add that I have no political ambitions in Mexico," he grinned. Humphrey's press conference last night was devoted largely to questions and answers about the Alliance for Progress program.
The senator said he found favorable reactions to the Alliance everywhere he went on the Latin American tour he is winding up here.
"Next year will be a decisive year for the program, and you might say I feel prudently optimistic," he said. "The United States cannot do this job alone. It requires the cooperation of all the American nations."
