Where the Democratic NOM

were 20 Democrats on the floor,

AbakO Blamed
Information Minister Anicet
Kashamura blamed the riot on
members Of the Abako Party, a
powerful political group CEN
tered in the Leopoldville area
and headed by Congo President
Joseph Kasavubu. Some Abako
Headers advocate more control
for local government than
Lumumba enivisions for the
Congo.
Mr.. Kashamura said Abako
members attacked passersby
and police fired into the air
to disperse the mob.
Another report said Abako
members fired on police.
A Belgian radio correspond
ent said the mob was aroused
because police broke into the
home Of Senate President Jo-
seph Ieo. a moderate member
Of Mr.. Lumumba's opposition,
while Mr.. Ileo was holding a
news conference.
Some Congolese told news
men that the people were ris-
ing against Mr.. Lumumba. This
could not be confirmed, and
the riot never reached revolt
proportions.
Some leaders of the Abako
Party have been arrested be-
cause Of their demands for a
high degree of local autonomy.
Mr.. Lumumba has warned that
lall attempts to secede from the
Leopoldville government will be
met with force. He. called the
army back to regular duty early
this week and gave it full police
powers under a state of emer-
gency.
