forces not requested by the
United Nations"
Mr.. Lumumba has been say
ing he will ask for Soviet
soldiers If the Belgian troops
did not withdraw quickly. In
message to him Friday, So
Wet Premier Nikita Khru-
Shchev promised "the necessary
help which may be required"
to end what the Russians and
Mr.. Lumumba call Belgian ag-
gression.
y Mr.. Kuznetsov was not so
plain spoken. He told the
Council:
If the aggression continues,
the necessity will naturally ap-
pear to take more effective
measures both along United
Nations lines and along the
lines of the peace-loving States
that sympathize with the Con-
CO."
Mr.. Kuznetsov recalled that
a week ago the Council called
for the withdrawal of Belgian
troops from the Congo when
it authorized Mr.. Hammar-
skiold to send in the U. N.
force. But Belgian troops are
arriving simultaneously" with
U. N. troops, he said, and BEL
gian planes with rocket wea-
pons" are being sent.
Mr.. Kuznetsov also charged
that the Western powers are
behind the declared secession of
wealthy Katanga Province from
the Congo because they want
to hold "e economically rich
areas of the former Belgian
colonies"
Mr.. Kuznetsov'S resolution, in
addition to setting a deadline
for the Belgian troop with
drawal, called on all U. N. mem
bers ito respect the territorial
integrity of the Congo and
not to undertake any actions
that could violate this integ-
rity."
The CeyloneSe-T unisian
draft asks U. N. members Ito
refrain from any interference
in the territorial integrity" of
the Congo.
Belgian Foreign Minister
Pierre Wigny and Congolese
Delega ate Thomas Kama,
speaking to the Council, ap-
peared close together on how
soon the Belgian troops should
leave.
Waiting for Tranquility
Mr.. Wigny said Belgium was
ready to pull them out "as soon
as the United Nations tell us
that peace and tranquility are
restored" Mr.. Kama asked
that they leave "as soon as pos
sible-I don't say Immediately"
But Mr.. Kama said his gov
ernment wanted the Belgian
forces to get out of the Congo
altogether.
Mr.. Wigny on the other hand
said the troops were pulling
out of cities where they had in
tervened to protect Belgian ma I
tionalS from mutinous Congo
leSe troops-but would stay in
the Congo in the bases Belgium 4
retained after she granted her I
vast Central African territory
independence on July /. i
Intervention Defended
Mr.. Wigny said the troop in
tervention had been necessary {
because the Congolese mutt
neers had been shooting Bel '
gian men, raping Belgian wom- ,
en- and miStreating Belgian {
children. Mr.. kama replied ]
that Belgian troops yesterday ]
killed six Congolese. {
Mr.. Hammarskjold told the |
Council he had made clear to ]
Premier Noise Tshombe of Ka-
tanga Province that the U. N. I
force was entitled to access to /
all parts" of the Congo-in- !
cluding Katanga. Mr.. TShombe (
warned only yesterday there /
would be fight if the q. N. ,
troops tried to get into the Sc
ceSSionist province.
Mr.. Lumumba at news con-
ference yesterday again ex-
pressed doubt that the u. N.
force could restore peace
quickly in the Congo and said
his cabinet had voted to appeal
for Soviet troops unless Bel
gian forces quit the country
Immediately. He also suggested
that troops from ANY other
country of the African-ASian
bloc" might come along with
the Russians, which was in
terpreted by some as a bid
to the Communist Chinese.
