Troops Sent to Interior
U.N. headquarters were

Congolese army ferment had
loosed violence upon Leopold

Gen. Won Horn rushed to
get his troops into interior

dispatch. The Belgian Radio
said African fire killed several
Moroccans yesterday at Thys-
vile. rs miles southwest of
Leopoldville. From Luanda,
Angola, came a telephoned re-
port that Moroccan troops had
entered Matadi after fierce
fighting that caused casualties
on both sidesl
Gen. Won Horn was asked
about the prospect of getting
U. N. troops into mineral-rich
Katanga Province, whose Pre-
mier Noise Tshombe has pro-
claimed secession and an
nounced he doesn't want the
troops.
"Katanga is likely to be a
hard nut" Gen. von Horn
said. but we are working on
it persistently and hopefully"
In Leopoldville some Belgian
troops began to pack up and
move out of their positions.
This is a pattern which the
U. N. hopes to see followed
throughout the country.

to withdraw the Belgian troops
to treaty bases in the Congo

A convoy of trucks set out
today for ThySville to take sup

Two officials of the Congo
governmental. N. Delegate
Thomas Kama and Foreign
Secretary Andre Mandi-were
flying to New York today for
the Security Council session.
They were accompanied by
Maj. Gen. Henry T. Alexander,
British commander of Ghana S
army, who was going to report
to U. N. Secretary General
Dag Hammarskjold on the
situation. Gen. Alexander,
leading Ghana's contribution
to the U. N. force, arrived in
Leopoldville Sunday, in ad-
vance of the arrival of the
u. N. commander, Swedish
Maj. Gen. Carl Won Horn.
Mr.. H a nm arskjold an
nounced that Belgium had
agreed to limit her troop ac-
tivities to the security needs of
Belgian nationals and that in
all other matters the Belgian
command would abide by in
StructionS of the U. N. COM
mand. Belgian forces also will
act in cases of grave and i'm
minent danger" Mr.. Ham
marskjold said. but will imme-
diately refer the matter to the
U. N. command.
The secretary general said
discussions on the withdrawal
of the Belgian forces are con-
tinuing, but Belgian Embassy
spokesman in Leopoldville said
the Belgian troops would re-
main to protect the lives and
property of Europeans. AL
though the Security Council
resolution setting up the U. N
force called for the withdrawal
of Belgian troops, Belgium s

Soviet Move Awaited
Soviet propaganda organs
continued to rail at Belgium
and the United States, accusing
them of trying to preserve CO.
lonial control of the Congo
There was no indication of a
Soviet move in answer to Mr.
Lumumba's ultimatum, but
something may be Forthcoming
at the Security Council meeting
tomorrow.
Reports from several sources
said several Moroccan members
of the U. N. peace force were
killed in two separate clashes
yesterday, the first casualties
to be suffered by U. N. troops.
One clash repeatedly occurred
in Thysville. rs miles southwest
of Leopoldville, the native
Congo army's mutiny against
its Belgian officers. Moroccan
units had been sent there by
train to pacify the area and
were fired on.
Another report said Moroc
can detachment entering Ma
tadi, the Congo's only seaport
claShed with Congolese troops
and there were casualties on
both sides. The report said the
Moroccans were unable to oc-
cupy the harbor.

The highly reputable firm

visibility, and to report it's
findings to the Council. We

Cut the Red Tape

Coming as it does from an authority
on military red tape, the latest attack
by Vice Admiral Hyman C. Rickover on
Pentagon paper work and other frustra-
tions ought to jolt the responsible off,
c1alS into remedial action. If the public
has been under the impression that
Admiral Rickover's previous outburStS
against time-waSting routine proce-
dureS" had produced reforms, it will be
diSilluSioned by his revelations at a Co.
lumbia University forum. For, according
to the admiral at least two-thirdS Of the
time OF our nuclear and missile scientists
Is being wasted by administrative fiat."
OutSpoken as always, Admiral Rick
over did not mince words in describing
to a panel Of scholars the. discouraging
conditions under which dedicated re-
SearcherS are trying to speed up this
countryS production Of weapons. Not
mentioning the apathy, red tape and
other SetbackS which he encountered
before succeeding in producing the
worlds first nuclear-powered submarine,
Admiral Rickover spoke only of recent
difficulties in continued research. He
attributed the trouble largely to the
traditional system under which military
officers with no knowledge Of science
and without having the requisite tech
nical competence" often are placed in
charge Of vital scientific projects. He
declared it would have been impossible
to devise a more Intellectual system for
getting things done If 1--WE deliberately
had SET ont do So"
Referring to his naval work, Admiral
Rickover said that only short while ago
every senior technical man was doing
paper work ordered from above" at a
time when special attention was needed
to deal with an urgent technical prob
lem. He said one man was released for
this emergency job with difficulty" He
summed up the situation this way 1--WE
were scribbling instead of building ships.
The Russians were forging ahead with
new weapons, widening the lead-times
between the two countries"
1t would seem, from this authorita-
tive appraisal Of research progress by the
military, that the time has come to
knock some heads together at the Pen
tagon. We ought not to be still floun-
dering around with outmoded admins
trative procedures while Messrs. Khru-
Shchev and Malinovsky are rattling their

Strictly Political

The decisive margins by which the
House and the Senate overrode the
Presidents veto of the Federal pay
bill are explainable only in terms of
election year politics. All pretense to
fiscal responsibility on Capitol Hill
perished in the scramble for Novem-
Der votes.
The pay raise bill is bad legiSla-
tion in several respects. It will cost the
taxpayers about $750,000,000 a year.
PercentagewiSe, the pay increases are
lar In excess Of the rise in the cost Of
living since 10 per cent salary in
crease was approved two years ago.
Existing inequities in the pay structure
are magnifled. The increase for the
postal workers, generally higher than
that for others, will add some $248
million to the already large postal def
cit. Yet Congress, despite the fact that
1t has approved the objective of bal
anced postal budget, refused to increase
postal rates to pay any part of the
cost OF the pay raise. Finally, the legiS-
lators, in their display of irreSponSi-
bility, bowed to pressure tactics in a
surrender which certainly will come
back to plague them in future years.
The Democrats who control the
Congress are primarily responsible for
this unworthy performance-the more
unworthy because they were not even
willing to wait for the results Of a
study, which the legislators had ordered
and paid for, Of the relation Of Federal
salaries to those paid in private buSi-
ness. The Democrats cannot have it
both ways. If they claim credit, as they
are entitled to do, when Congress acts
reSponsibly, they must assume the blame
when it behaves in thoroughly ire
SponSible fashion. The Republicans,
however, are also culpable. This veto
would not have been overridden If all
OF them had had the political courage
to join a handful Of Democrats in sup
porting the President, who was not
afraid to put the national interest
ahead of the demands of the pressure
groups.

North Dakota Chill

Quentin Burdick'S apparent razor
edge victory in North Dakota is chilling
> news for the Republicans there's no
doubt about that. But 1t hardly juStifes
a conclusion that the farm states will
be ripe for Democratic plucking in No
vember.
II the tentative count holds up, Mr..
Burdick'S winning margin is 851 votes
out OF total Of around 100000 ballots.
After he had pulled ahead of his oppo-
nent, G. o. P. Gov. John Davis, however,
Democratic bigwigs were gleefully pre-
dieting a 5000 vote win for Mr.. Burdick.
Several factors were at work for the
winner.
His popular father, Usher Burdick,
former Republican Congressman, cam
paigned vigorously for him. He had
the support Of the Nonpartisan League,
which broke away from the G. o. P. in
1856. Finally, Governor Davis did not do
nearly as well as expected in the towns
and cities. So it can be argued with some
persuaSiveness that he lost the election,
not in the rural areas, but where his
greatest strength was supposed to lie.
This certainly does not mean, how
ever, that the North Dakota farmers
have any love for the policies of Agri-
culture Secretary Benson. The fact is
that both candidates repudiated the
Benson policies. Mr.. Burdick worked
harder at this than Mr.. Davis, but the
latter almost certainly would have lost
by more decisive margin had he cam
paigned as a Benson champion.
This poses quite a problem for
Mr.. Nixon as the prospective Republi-
can nominee. The North Dakota upset
doesn't necessarily mean that the farm
states are lost, but it does strongly sug-
geSt that he must come up with some
thing which neither looks, tastes nor
smells like the Benson program.

Falls Church Citizens in Dark on Annexation

The frantic haste Of a ma
jority Of our Falls Church
City Council to catapult the
City into an annexation suit
against Fairfax County re-
calls a recent series Of safety
slogans offered on local tele-
vision stations. One, showing
a car being driven at excess
sive speed, was captioned,
Accident on its way to hap
pen."
Falls Church citizens, who
will be affected for many
years to come by annexation,
have had made available to
them the absolute minimum
of information on the subject.
Our mayor recently appointed
a 7-member citizens COM
mittee to study the matter
and to prepare, under the
guidance Of the public rela-
tions expert hired for the
purpose, an informative"
brochure for distribution to
all the citizens.
Unfortunately the mem
bers of this committee, which
had met twice prior to the
first reading of the annexa-
ton ordinance on June 27,
were given no more informa-
ton than the rest of the
public, and presumably the
promised brochure will be
handicapped by this circum-
stance.
