Last week the U.N. didn't have

Of $40 million helped temporarily,

nounced that he had taken steps
toward floating a short-term loan
with commercial banks. the first
such loan in U.N. history.
Mr.. Hammarskjold pointed out
that the Congo operation of the
U.N., involving some 10000 troops,
was costing $40 million a month.
All the Soviet bloc nations have
refused fatty to contribute mon

In Stockode

Yesterday the erstwhile Premier,
disheveled and sullen, was in
Thysville's army stockade under
the personal charge Of Col. Louis
Boboso, commander of the Thys-
vile garrison and a close aide to
Col. Mobutu. When he alighted
from the plane on arriving at
Leopoldville. he was jeered and
hooted by curious Congolese lining
the streets en- route to the
Mobutu headquarters.
Col. Mobutu. after brief in
terview with his elusive arch-foe.
announced that Mr.. Lumumba
would be tried "in due course"
From the United Nations Secre-
tary General Dag Hammarskjold
came an appeal for q fair trial
for Mr.. Lumumba. A committee
Of Afro-Asian nations at the U. N.
had expressed concern for the
ex-Premier's safety. and the
Soviet delegation protested that
the arrest was an arbitrary and
illegal act against the lawful
Congolese government by an
illegal, dictatorial regime"
The failing of the pro-Commu-
mist Premier appears to add
strength to the efforts of Presi-
dent Kasavubu to bring order out
Of the Congo chaos. Mr.. Kasa-
vubu. confirmed as leader Of the
Congo delegation to the q. N. Gen

At this time of year jobs are

Historian Morrison was not

often glorious naval engage

victory in both the Atlantic
and the Pacific.
The final volume tells Of
the spectacular advance of
our naval task forces on their
island-hopping journey to
Tokyo. Related with special
feeling is the ordeal Of our
feet units under the fiery
onslaughts of the kamikaze
suicide corps at Two Jima,
Okinawa and elsewhere. This
was the Japanese warlords'
last desperate effort to stave
of defeat-an effort which,
though it failed, was costly to
the American forces in both
men and ships.

maps and replete with refer
ences to official records. It is
a must" book for all who
participated in the battles
described and an absorbing
story for those who did not.
No modern library would be
complete without Admiral
Morison's complete series.
