implication is responsible for
this reconstruction.
Four steps must be taken II
the Congo is to recover its
equilibrium. These are:
!. The creation Of a Congo
lese government capable OF
governing.
2. The restoration Of public
security.
8. The provision Of finance.
4. The recruitment Of tech
nicians and administrators. 1
In the four months during
which it has been in the Congo,
the u. N. has done virtually
nothing to assist in the crea-I
ton Of effective government.
U. N. spokesman argue that
this is not their task. But the
fact remains that nothing else
can be accomplished until this
is done. that the q. N. must
do it If the Congolese will not.
II anything, the q. N. has
retarded the creation Of such
q government by preventing
the Mobutu Kasavubu group
from following Modulus coup
d'etat to its logical conclusion:
the political naturalization OF
Communist ncline ed Prime
Minister Patrice Lumumba.
Until the political struggle
between these two groups is re-
solved, no further progress can
be made if only because until
then no government capable Of
making decisions can exist. no
agreements for the employ
ment Of technicianS can be
signed, no real assessment Of
the Congo's needs can be made.
Once an effective govern
ment exists it will be possible
to proceed to the second step
in reconstruction, the restora-
ton of public order.
The 10000 men Of some 80
countries who make up the
U. N. military force have sue
ceeded in restoring a SEM
blance Of public security. Ma
jor military clashes no longer
occur except in the Kasai-
Katanga area. But the So
called retraining Of the $4,000
soldiers Of the Congolese Force
Publique has had little success.
The Force Publique, the po-
lice, and civilian thugs (par-
ticularly the youth wing of the
Lumumba Congolese National
Movement) are still responsible
for sporadic outrages. In one
recent case, a female member
Of the staff Of the British En-
bassy was manhandled.
In another incident, a police
man was shot and killed by
members Of the Force Publique
after he had been involved in
an automobile accident. Most
units Of both organizations still
90 about the streets fully
armed.
Until the Force Publique and
the police have been disarmed
(even if it. is necessary to buy
their rifles from them and
some degree Of discipline has
been restored within their,
ranks nothing further can be
accomplished in the Congo, if
only because no foreign tech
nician or teacher would agree
to serve at a remote post,
which is just where they're
needed.
The U. N. maintains it has
no mandate to disarm the
Force Publique or the police
because they are organs of the
Congolese state. This is spe-
cious reasoning. Since July,
neither organization has been
anything more than a group
Of armed bandits.
Public order could be restored
in the Congo within 80 days if
the U. N. had the stomach to
do it.
The African is a logical per-
son. He has no respect for one
who has authority but is afraid
to use it. In this he sees not

Sleeping Tablets?

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1960-10-23

THE solution of one of Natures greatest
L mysteries miracle of sleep
comes closer TO fuIfillment today as doc
tors study the results Of new tests and
new experiments.
This new research brings new hope TO
millions of Americans who have trouble
getting to sleep nights, for it promises
you at last safe, medically proved way
to get to sleep and stay asleep without
taking habit forming drugs!
As a result of these new findings, sci
entistS today warn US that sleep is more
important to good health and mental
ability than we had ever realized.
Sleep is Natures own magical restora-
tive. Without sleep. many of us would die
of exhaustion within seven days!
The dangers Of SleePlessness
Unless you get adequate sleep regularly,
the effects of Sleep-StarVation can lead to
serious physical and mental difficulties.
SIeepIeSsnesS can affect our personaIi-
ties, cause IrTItaOllty, tension, nervous
ness. 1t drains our vital energies; leaves US
feeling exhausted. worn-out. 1t slows
down our bodily reaexes, affects our job
performance by making it difficult to
function efficiently. 1t can even cause
mental difficulties {. e. mental lapses.
1. How much sleep do you really need?
Probably more than you think!
One authority estimates that 9 out of
10 Americans probably need at least 8
hours sleep night. Many who regularly
try to get along with less than hours are
gambling with their future health.
2. How many people have trouble sleep
ing?
Roughly over h0It>the people in the
United States repeatedly have trouble GET
ting to sleep nights or staying asleep.
3. What can you do about sleePless-
ness?
Until recently. practically the only kind
Of sleeping tablet available was the habit

forming type containing barbiturates or
narcotics.
But today medical science has at last
made possible a doctors sleeping dis
cOvery that IMILs you to sleep gently, nat
uraIly =. without habit forming drugs!
Already proved safe as aspirin, this new
sleeping discovery is now available with
out prescription in easy to take tablet
form under the trade name of Nytol.
4. Why Is NytOI better than Old-fash-
Toned sleeping pills?
Because its so safe. Instead of "drugging"
you to sleep like oId-fashiOned sleeping
pills. NytOl simply TeIGxeS you to sleep.
1t reIaxes your nerves. .relaxes tensions
so you get to sleep naturally! And when
you wake up in the morning, there's alb
sOlutely no drug-hangover.
s. Has science really proved an this?
Yes. NVol offers a combination of proof
no other sleeping tablet can offer:
