Fighting Continues in Congo
Leopoldville, The Congo — (UPI)
— Central Congolese troops today were believed battling Katangese forces for control of the northern Katanga town of Kongolo.
The United Nations provided first reports of the battle last night. The Congo River town is 450 miles north of Elisabethville, Katanga's capital.
Both opposing armies have been in the area for many weeks and there have been frequent clashes.
Kongolo is the scene of the massacre of 21 Roman Catholic missionaries by Congolese troops last New Year's Day. It was reported captured by Central Government forces who surrounded 1,500 Katangese gendarmes in the town Dec. 1. But the Katangese later regained control.
A U.N. spokesman declined to say whether the United Nations considers the fighting a continuation of the Congo Civil war, which the U.N. force is under orders to stop.
The spokesman gave this description of conditions in the area:
"The situation in North Katanga has remained fluid for some time. From evidence available and substantiated by incidents such as the shooting down of the U.N. reconnaissance plane Sept. 20, it is obvious that the Central Government Army has been trying to advance toward South Katanga and the (Katanga) gendarmerie is trying to recapture areas in North Katanga which are no longer under their effective control."
Although the fighting is far from Elisabethville, secessionist leader Moise Tshombe's headquarters, it has begun to affect the province's communications.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — (UPI)—One of the nation's leading educators Saturday called for a drastic overhaul in American education.
Samuel B. Gould, former chancellor of the University of California at Santa Barbara and presently president of educational television station WNDT in New York, told the closing session of the 8th World Affairs Institute that American education has badly bungled the job of turning out citizens who know what's going on in the world.
"The American university is a catchall." Gould said. "It is expected to do everything for everyone, and as a result does little for anybody."
He said American education is so cluttered with needless courses and peripheral activity that students forget why they have come there.
"It (education) finds itself constrained to balance itself precariously between an honest desire to teach according to humanistic principles and an ever-present necessity to train for survival in an age of horrendous dangers."
NEW DELHI — (UPI) — Chinese Communists reported today they were pulling troops back from another site on the eastern front with India but Indian officials could give no immediate confirmation.
China Says Troops Retreat
Peking's New China News Agency said the Red troops had withdrawn "to the area north of the Tanchiapiani River" on India's northeastern border with Tibet.
The only other withdrawal announced since Peking's one-sided operation went into effect last Saturday was from Chila and Samu-
wierh to Penchung, also both on the northeastern front.

Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru told Parliament Monday that while there were signs of Chinese withdrawal movements in rear positions, they still were holding front line posts. Thus the new announcement by Peking created little stir in the capital.
