Aiding Lumumbu

JOHANN ESBURG. South
Africa. Sept. 10 (AP). - The
Rand Daily Mail today quoted
representatives Of the Congo's
rebellious Kasai province as
saying Premier Patrice Lumum-
ba's troops have Czech officers
and Soviet military equipment.
The Kasai delegation came
here repeatedly seeking trans
port trucks and plane parts.
The Mail quoted a spokesman
as saying Kasai troops and
civilians are suffering heavy
casualties because the province
lacks arms.
About 1000 people, includ-
ing expectant mothers and
small children, have been
slaughtered by Lu m u m b a S
soldiers in and around the
Kasai capital of Bakwanga, 4"

U. n:
Council Resumes
Debate Today

Of genocide since they appear
to be directed towards the ex-
termination Of q specific ethnic
group. the Baluba tribe"
Since large elements Of the
Congolese force have ceased to
be parts Of a responsible army,
the Secretary General asked:
Should it be supposed that
the duty Of the United Nations
to observe strict neutrality in
the domestic conflict and to
assist the Central government
means that the United Nations
can not take action In such
cases?"
He referred to the widely re-
ported massacre on August 81
Of 70 Balubas, including women
and children who had taken
refuge in a mission school in
the Bakwanga region.
In his first direct answer to
the constant haunting by Pre-
|mier Lumumba, Mr.. Hammar-
skiold declared: IF United Ma
tions action, military and civil
ian or financial, is to have any
sense beyond the immediate
moment. il it is to be defensible
to continue, the domestic con-
fiicts must be resolved with a
sense Of responsibility on the
part Of the leaders, not only
to the nation, but also to the
international community which
can not be supposed to be will
ing to foot the bill for political
ineptitude and responsibility. :"
No matter how Congo author
tiles operate and how the
domestic situation develops,
United Nations operations must
continue, Mr.. Hammarskjold
declared, because of the "great
risks" that the crisis might
spread over Africa.
The Hammarskjold report to
the Council was delayed almost
two hours by a Soviet diversion
ary move to transfer the session
to Leopoldville in response to
Premier Lumumba's invitation
Only Poland and Ceylon Joined
the Soviet delegate Kuznetzoy
in supporting a draft resolu-
ton to this effect which the
Soviet representative succeeded
in making the first item OF
business.
Argentina, China, France,
Italy, the United Kingdom and
the United States opposed the
idea. Ecuador and Tunisia alb
stained.
Yugoslavia delegate Dobrivo-
jevidic. wound up the council
session, which ended at 1920
am, with a plea for the United
Nations to support the Lumum-
be government with force ii
necessary to restore unity and
order.

tank last night and started a
fire that destroyed 19 other big

As the fire spread to each
Of the tanks, 20 feet apart
there was an explosion. The

Is Blocked

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y,
Sept. 10 (AP). = The U. N.
Security Council yesterday
blocked a Soviet effort to sub
ject actions Of the Organiza-
ton of American States to the
councils veto.
United States Chief Dele
gate James j. Wadsworth ac-
cused the Soviet Union of
malicious meddling'' an d
seeking to use the Security
Council as an instrument to
advance its own totalitarian
designs in the Americas"
Soviet Deputy Foreign Min
lister Vastly v. KuznetSov de-
MED such charges. But, beaten
on a preliminary vote, he gave
up trying to put through a
resolution that implied the
council had the right to over
rule the GAS.
The Soviet resolution en-
dorsed the diplomatic quaran-
tine and arms embargo that the
OAS foreign ministers clamped
on the Dominican Republic
August 20 in San Jose, Costa
Rica. 1t thus indicated that the
council had the power to dis
approve such decisions as well.
In place of that, the council
adopted a rival inter-American
resolution by which it merely
took note of the OAS action
thus asserting no right of ap-
proval or disapproval. This re-
solution, sponsored by Argen-
tina, Ecuador and the United
States. passed on a 80 vote
with Poland and the Soviet
Union abstaining.
Mr.. Kuznetsov then an
nounced that he would not
press for a vote on his own
resolution-since a majority of
the council members were not
prepared to support it. He re-
served the right to raise the is
sue again, however.

Mr.. Lumumba urged other

RetaliatOry Move
Russian U. N. delegation
members. and Soviet citizens
generally, are normally under
restrictions when they come to
the United States. The restric-
tions have been imposed by the
United States Government in
retaliation for Soviet restric-
tions on Americans in Russia.
Thus in New York, Russians
are allowed to travel only with
in a 25-mile radius-and some
parts of the New York area are
off limits to them, too.
If a Soviet official or citizen
wants to go outside the New
York area, he must give notifi-
cation 48 hours in advance.
All told, about two-thirds OF
the United States is normally
banned to Russian visitors in
tit-for-tat against Russian re-
strictions. United States off,
cials say they have repeatedly
offered to Moscow to negotiate
on a mutual lifting of restric-
tions but have received no re-
