PARIS, Sept. is CAP).-For-
mer New York Gov. w. Averell
Hartman, ending an African
fact finding mission for Sem
ator Kennedy, said today there
is no doubt the Russians are
attempting to gain control Of
the Congo"
Mr.. Hartman will report to
the Democratic nominee on
return to the United States
tomorrow and also submit a
report to the United States
State Department. He has Just
completed a swing through much
of Africa, including talks with
Premier Patrice Lumumba and
President Joseph Kasavubu Of
the Congo and other African
leaders. ~
"Lumumba claims he is not
| a Communist" Mr.. Hartman
said at a news conference.
He says he sincerely thinks
he represents the Congo people.
Sees Red Advantage
IT believe he thinks he can
outsmart the Russians. I must
say that in any contest of that
nature. I think the advantage
would be with the Russians"
Mr.. Hartman said he did not
think Africa would become a
political issue in the presiden-
tial campaign and he advok
Gated bilateral support Of Pres
ident Eisenhower's Congo stand
in the United Nations.
"It is in the interest of all
to support the United Nations, -
Mr.. Hartman said in answer
to a question which outlined
French President de Gaulle's
criticism of the United Nations
Congo mission.
Mr.. Hartman declined to
outline any specific proposals
he may make to Senator Ken
nedy. He also said he had
some criticisms of American
policy in Africa" but intended
to reserve voicing them until
I am back home"
Cites 'fNew COlonialism"
Mr.. Hartman said, however,
his recommendations would in
clude a finding that African
leaders want solutions "by
Africa, for Africa, in the Afri-
can manner"
He said he found a growing
awareness among African lead
ers that communism was simply
a new colonialism."
However, he said that Mr..
Lumumba. Ghana President

President Sekou Toure are not
fully aware of this"

Col. Mobutu denied that the
Congo army's action was a
military coup.
"The army does not want
power" he said. I'VE are

LunduIa Detained
Asked what had happened to
Gen. Victor Lundula, the SER
geant who became commander
of the army under Mr.. Lu-
mumba, Col. Mobutu said
tersely, He is in Camp Leo
pold."
The intense but politically
moderate young colonel made
it clear that he was on the
side of Kasavubu in the bitter
struggle for power in the
Congo, although he said Mr..
Kasavubu and Mr.. Lumumba
had been "neutralized" for the
time being.
Earlier five Soviet transport
planes being flown to the Con-
go to help Mr.. Lumumba,
turned back toward the Soviet
Union.
It was not known just where
the planes turned back, but
reports from Leopoldville said
U. N. control of the Congo'S
airportS apparently convinced
the Russians it was pointless
to add to the fleet of Ilyushin
planes grounded here by the
U. N. action.
The U. N. has reopened the
airports, but it is preventing
flights that might contribute to
the civil strife.
Plea by Lumumba
Before the army action Mr..
Lumumba had broadcast an
appeal for unity. He called on
parliament to vote on a retro
active constitutional amend
ment which would invalidate
President Kasavubu's Septem-
ber 5 decree ousting the pre-
mier and appointing Joseph
Ileo in his place.
Meanwhile reports from Els

FuII-1ime Board Urged
For Prince Georges

A full-time board of COM
missioners was urged last night
for Prince Georges County.
The recommendation, made
by the County Civic Federation,
specified that salaries for a
fullstime board might run as
high as $4,000 annually for
each member.
Delegates to the meeting in
the HyattSville County Service
Building emphasized, however,
that board members should be
required to have no other pro-
fessional interests which might
conflict with the job.
The present five-member
board has only one full-time
member, the chairman. His
salary is $500 annually. Other
members are paid $500 per
year.
About three years ago the
federation recommended that
three board members serve
full-time. Federation President

Proposed sewage lagoons''
for nearby Maryland areas are
being studied by officials after
an inspection trip to Kansas
City.
The officials looked at such
lagoons in operation there, and
generally they were impressed"
with the idea. a Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
spokesman reported.
The lagoon system leaves the
disposal problem mostly to
Mother Nature. 1t consists
simply of a series of ponds into
which waste is pumped. The
sun, combined with algae for
nations, takes care of the de-
composition.
The possibility of lagoons has
been discussed previously and
was the subject of a joint meet
ing in Silver Spring in late
August between State health Of
flcials and suburban Maryland
planners and sanitary experts.

FREDERICK, Md, Oct. T.
Flooding of Sc million worth of
farm land near here for use
as a reservoir was described
today as "the most economical
means" of providing an ade-
quate water supply for the
Frederick area.
This opinion was given by
Col. Charles Sumner, Wash
ington district engineer for the
United States Corps of En-
gineers, to the Interstate Com
mission on the Potomac.
Col. Sumner said that pre-
hminary estimates of future
peak water demand shows that
the Frederick area will need
206 million gallons a day.
Urges Reservoir
He said that the Monocacy
River in the Frederick area
would supply this amount of
water only if it is regulated by
reservoirs.
Col. Sumner also said that
construction of a reservoir on
the Monocacy River above
Frederick and development of
reservoirs on other Potomac
River tributaries could elimi-
nate the need for building a
dam at River Bend, a possibility
that has sparked intense con-
troverSy.
However, the colonel said
that construction of a series of
reservoirs on Potomac River
tributaries would be more ex-
pensive than one major reser-
voir at River Bend. He added
that a tributary reservoir sys-
tenn designed to substitute for
a River Bend reservoir would
also be "less satisfactory" in
the development and control of
water in the Potomac River
Basin. Il
Therefore, he said, construc-
ton Of a dam at River Bend is
still under consideration" as
one possibility.
"A total of 10000 acre-feet
OF storage controlling about
600 square miles of drainage
area are needed to provide for
the requirements" he said.
Col. Sumner said this stor-
age could be obtained from one
large reservoir a few miles up
stream on the Monacacy from
Frederick or "in part" from
several smaller reservoirs at
the headwaters of the Mo-
nocacy.
He emphasized the use of one
major reservoir would be "the
most economical" method.

Gov. Brown told. the Kensing-
ton Wheaton Democratic Club.
"In the areas Of social and
economic legislation, there is
no new Nixon and there is no
old Nixon" he said. There is
only the same striving, oppor-
tunistic young man who was
backed for Congress in 1916 by
a group Of wealthy Californians
who thought he was the man
to look after their interests"
Gov. Brown, who was intro
duced by Maryland Gov. Tawes,
also struck out at Mr.. Nixon
on foreign policy, saying he has
deluded the people and that the
Nation "is coming of second

In his discussion of general
water problems and the Poto-
mac River Basin, Col. Sumner
warned that the hazards of

"Our studies to date indicate
that there are about so COM
munities in the basin in which
an extreme flood could cause
more than $4,000 in damages, -
he said.
He said that "an extreme
flood" at Washington could
cause damages exceeding $40
million.
Little Effect on d. C.
/ The colonel said that con-
struetion of a major reservoir
on the Monocacy near Fred
erick would have little effect
by itself in solving Washing
tons water problems.
George R. Phillips, director
of the River Basins Division,

partment of Agriculture, said
that a department survey is
now being made to determine
where additional small res
ervoirS could be built in the up
stream areas above the large

He said benefits from these

cases would be limited mainly
to the nearby areas.
Nevertheless, upstream de-
velopments do influence and
complement downstream de-

Maryland's new road building

"It will continue to be a

cent interest is shown in An

Mr.. Kordella outlined the

includes four projects in 1861
and IL others in succeeding

This program at best is very
weak based on needs" he said,
urging the AAA board to alert

Mr.. Kordella said he thought
citizens would support a "rea-
sonable increase in the States
program if groups such as the
