LEoPOLDVmLE, the Congo,
Oct. 20 (AP).-United Nations
military units in the Congo
have been given orders to IRE
at rebelliouS Congolese troops
resisting their authority.
U. N. officers said today the
order specified that any op-
position to U. N. efforts to
maintain law and order will
be considered an act Of ag-
greSSion.
In the past, United Nations
standing orders permitted the
use Of arms only in self de-
fense.
MObutu Changes Mind
The Congolese army chief,
Col. Joseph Mobutu, changed
his mind today and allowed AS
sociated Press Correspondent
Michael Goldsmith to remain
in the Congo.
II was furious, but let's for
get the past" Col. Mobutu told
Mr.. Goldsmith in the colonel's
villa, guarded by two armored
cars and q platoon Of Congo
leSe commandos.
Earlier today, Col. Mohutu
sent a squad of armed soldiers
to Mr.. Goldsmith's hotel to ar
rest and expel him on charges
Of sabotage. ..
U. N. soldiers rescued Mr..
Goldsmith and took him to the
U. N. headquarters.
Col. Mobutu announced three
days ago he would ask Mr..
Goldsmith to leave the coun-
try. Mr.. Goldsmith has been
reporting acts Of violence by
Mobutu soldiers and the charges
Of U. N. representatives that
Belgian military instructors
have been trying to undermine
them. Similar reports have
been filed by other correspond
entS,
Troops Pound on Door
The 1e-man Congolese squad
started pounding at Mr.. Gold
smiths door at GAS am. He
refused to open the door and
telephoned Indian Gen. /. Rik-
hye Of the U. N. staff.
Within minutes, a multi-na-
tional squad Of U. N. soldiers
and military police arrived and
the Congolese withdrew from
Mr.. Goldsmith's floor to the
downstairs lobby.
After two hours, the U. N.
command advised Mr.. Gold
smith to take temporary refuge
in the U. N. headquarters
building, and he was escorted
to a jeep while the Congolese
watched silently.
Mr.. Goldsmith, 80, is q
British subject. He has been
in the Congo since Septem-
ber 8.
The United Nations said In
a statement that Goldsmith
was threatened with arbitrary
arrest without pretense of q
warrant or legal procedure and
requested United Nations pro-
lection"
A U. N. spokesman said pro.
lection was given "in execution
of the United Nations mandate
to maintain basic freedom In
the Congo and prevent arbi-
trary procedures" =

Mr.. Eisenhower's nationally

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM NORRIS

Question: A friend and I are
constantly engaged in friendly
combat over words. We al
ways settle the argument with
the dictionary but I'm not
willing to ccncede this time
even though the dictionary
proves me wrong. I always
thought the word "taunt" has
the same meaning as "taut"-
tightly stretched-as we'll as
the common meaning Of "to
tease or reproach."
I'm sure I've heard the word
"taunt" used meaning tight"
all my life and many other
people have agreed with me.
How can this be There must
be some reason for so many
other people to have used 1t
wrong all this time.-Mrs.
Jack Afford, r. D. /, Ellwood
City, Pa.
Answer: None Of us speaks
precisely the way dictionary
editors would like us to. Each
of us retains in his speech
some traces Of the pronuncia-
tions common in the region
where he was born. All the
dictionary editor can do, after
all, is to list the most widely
heard pronunciation of a word
and, unless his word book is q
highly specialized one, leave
out the variations found only
in limited areas.
So, though the pronuncia-

it's likely that you have plenty
Of company in your pronun-
citation. However, in language
as in democracy, the majority
rules, so I suggest that you try
to conform to the pronuncia-
ton used by an overwhelming
majority Of your fellow Ameri-
cans: TAUT.

ton "taunt" for "taut" may
be one you have used since
childhood, it isn't heard widely
enough to be accepted as
standard" 1t is, however,
recognized as a regional oddity
Of pronunciation by such an
authority as Harold Wentworth
in whose American Dialect
Dictionary" "taunt" for "taut"
is entered as a variant found
in both ordinary speech and in
writing. He cites an example
from a college pupils paper,
The sling adjustment is taunt. I"

Court UphoIds
Neiehbor's Right
To Use of AiIey

The United States Court Of
Appeals has upheld O resi-
dents right to use q narrow
alley owned by her neighbor.
The dispute over the alley,
between houses at 20l1 Mas
sachusetts avenue NV. and
zoos @ street NV. started
In 1854 when Claudia John.
sen,. owner Of the Massachu-
sets avenue property, erected
q fence blocking the 4-foot-
wide passageway extending
from the rear Of the johnson
property to @ street.
Mrs. CareSSe Crosby, So
cialite writer and traveller and
owner Of the @ street property,
won an Injunction against the
fence from District Court
Judge Alexander Holtzoff after
complaining that she had con-
tinously used the passageway
from 1888 until the fence was
erected.
The appellate court affirmed
Judge HoltzofR's ruling in an
opinion handed down yester-
day. Mrs. Crosby was repre-
sented by Rufus King. Wash
lington attorney.
Judge HoltZod had held that
before 1854 there was q suf-
ficiently continuous use Of the
alley for a sufficiently long pc
riod Of time to establish the
prescriptive right" of Mrs.
Crosby Of a right of way
through the alley.
