Red tape proved as impene-
trable as the African jungle to
five Congolese stranded for
three hours last night at An
drews Air Force Base.
The Congolese were bound
for New York's Idlewild Air
port aboard a Russian airliner,
but bad weather forced them
to land at Andrews at 1853 pm.
Right after landing, the Con-
goleSe ran into complications

United Nations Security Coun-
Gil will try to unraven tomor-

selves were enroute to that

First off, Vice Premier
Antoine Gizenga, head of the
Congolese delegation, insisted
that his group be transported to
New York right away-bad
weather or not.
Air Force authorities said
they could not refuel the
Russian four-engined, turbo jet
airliner without special per-

Recovery in
Mid-Air Hailed
Nine Decorated
For Snurine
Space Capsule
By WILLIAM HINES
Star Science Writer

Nine peacetime Air Force
heroes wore brand-new medals
today for their part in another
spectacular first" of the space
age-a midair snatch of an 85-
pound instrument capsule re-
turning from an orbit in outer
space.
The men were the COM
mander and crew of a lumber
ing C-119 cargo plane called
"Pelican-Nine" which caught
the instrument package of Dis
coverer XIV $500 feet above
the Pacific Ocean yesterday as
it plummeted back from space.
The pilot received the Dis
tinguished Flying Cross and
the crew got Air Medals by
special command of Air Force
Chief of Staff Thomas D. White.
The "air SNATCH" an almost
inconceivably difficult maneu-
yer, eliminated a flawless ex-
ercise that will go down in early
Space Age annals as a model of
precision. Not a single misad-
venture marred the launching
and recovery of the 14th Dis
coverer satellite.
History Made
The mid-air recovery fol-
lowed by eight days the re-
covery of Discoverer XIII from
the sea. Although an air
snatch attempt failed last
week, the earlier shot made his
tory because it ended with the
first return of a man-made
orblter from outer space.
Step-by-step the recovery of
Discoverer XIV was dramatic
in the extreme. Reporters at
the Pentagon'S news room
were briefed as news filtered
in over radiotelephone from
the mid-Pacific.
Election of the instrument
package from the empty sec
ond stage of the DiScoverer
satellite was confirmed at 6:46
pm, right on schedule. Five
minutes later word was re-
ceived that the capsules para
chute had opened.
At 6:57 pm. a Victory ship
and two airplanes of the re-
covery team received radio
signals from the descending
instrument package. At 6:59
one airplane reported having
it on its radar scope.
At 7:08 pm. two airplanes
reported actually seeing the
parachute of the capsule. Five

District Policeman Shot
In Arresting Speeder

A Washington policeman
was shot in the chest and crit
ically wounded early today on
a Northwest street.
Pvt. Jack r. Murphy, %, was
shot after he and his partner
stopped a driver for speeding
in the 1900 block of S street.
The policeman was hit once
in the right side near the arm
pit with a .45-caliber bullet. He
was sitting in a second pre-
cinct wagon with his partner,
Pvt. Peter S. Monaco, %.
Police said the bullet went
through the door and struck
Pvt. Murphy. The gunman
then fled.
Suspect Held
At about 4::3O ANA half
hour after the Shooting-police
arrested Julius Snowden Ogton,
33, of the 1900 block of Kenyon
street NV. and charged him
with assault with intent to kill.
Ogton was picked up as he
was about to enter the rear
of his apartment house, police
said.
They said he resisted arrest,
and that it took three police
men to handcuff him.
Deputy Chief George R..
Wallrodt said Ogton denied the
shooting. The chief gave this
account Of the chain of events.
Ogton was returning to his
home about 3:45 am. AS he
pulled up to his apartment,
another car was starting to
park there.
Drivers Argue
The two drivers argued, police
said. and Ogton parked in a
vacant lot nearby. Minutes
later Ogton came back onto
the street and fired five shots
into the engine of the other
car, owned by Francis B. Owens
of Baltimore.
Ogton drove away and was
stopped later for speeding by
the policemen, who were then
unaware of the earlier shoot
ing incident.
In a statement given to his
superiors after the shooting,
Pvt. Monaco said the suspect,
after being stopped, jumped out

u. N. Awaits Session
On Congo Tomorrow

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Aug. 20 (AP).-The arrival of
the disgruntled Congo delega-
ton paved the way today for
behind-sceneS talks on the eve
of the emergency Security
Council session on the worsen-
ing crisis.
Delegates awaited tomorrow's
Council session with growing
anxiety as fiery Congolese Pre-
mier Patrice Lumumba contin-
ued to widen the breach with
blackmail charges against Sec
retary General Dag Hammar-
skiold and demands for with
drawal of all white troops from
the Congo.
Mr.. Lumumba capped his
latest outburst by declaring
that he was ready to renounce
the services of the United Ma
tions because the Congo "is
nobody's property"
Delegates of nine American
member countries have been
comforting daily since Mr.. Lu-
mumba defied Mr.. Hammar-
skiold and prompted the an
gered secretary general to re-
turn to the U. N. last Tuesday
to ask the Security Council to
endorse his neutrality policy in
the Congo. Since then attacks
on U. N. personnel have in
creased tension in the African
nation.
RerOuted to Andrews
A Russian plane carrying the
five-man delegation from the
Congo arrived in New York last
night after being rerouted to
Andrews Air Force Base neal
Washington, D. c., because Of
bad weather. Vice premier An
tome Gizenga, heading the dele
CATION, was upset at the change
in routing.
Their irritation began with
a delay in landing clearance fol
the plane, which had not
passed noise tests to land at
New York City airports. The
United States State Depart
ment finally persuaded airport
officials to let the plane land
anyway, but the Congolese had
to wait overnight in London
Evening star., 1960-08-20

while the details were worked
out.
After arriving at New York'S
Idlewild Airport, Mr.. Gizenga
would say nothing to reporters
The 11-nation Council is
scheduled to meet at 1890 pm.
(EDT) tomorrow. Still mind
full of Mr.. Hammarskjold'S
August 8 statement that un-
less the U. N. can keep order in
the Congo there is danger Of
global war. the Council has
some extremely delicate factors
to weigh.
Working in Secret Talks
Observers at the U. N. have
gained the impression that the
African U. N. members are
working hard behind closed
doors to bolster Mr.. Hammar-
skjold's statement that U. N.
troops will not conquer rebel
iious Katanga Province for Mr..
Lumumba but also will not halt
his troops if they try it.
Katanga Premier Noise
Tshombe has said he can stave
off Mr.. Lumumba's troops with
bows and arrows. Westerners
who know Elisabethville, the
capital of Katanga, say nothing
short of a massive paratroop
drop would be effective in any
attack because of the lack of
roads. railroads and airports.
Thick forests surround the
3,O00-foot-high city.
Among the Africans, only
Ghana has parachute troops.
Ghana has insisted it is going
along with the U. N. effort for
now.
A note expressing the New
Zealand governments concern
at Soviet attacks on Mr.. Ham
marskjold's actions in the
Congo was handed yesterday to
the Soviet charge d'affaires in
Wellington. The note said New
Zealand is concerned that these
attacks may tend to bring the
whole organization into dis
repute and create greater chaos
in Africa at a time when newly
created states should be given
a chance to develop in peace.

OK Of Ma ior Bills
Measure
CoIIedUp
BY ]. A. O'LEARY
Star STAFF Writer


Senate Democratic Leader
johnson predicted today this
Democratic controlled Congress
is going to complete the un-
finished business" it came back
to transact.
AS the Senate remained in
session today to begin debate
on the medical care for the
aged bill. Senator johnson
listed more than six major
bills and four treaties acted on
by the Senate in the last IL
days. He said this record
shows that the Senate is pro-
ceeding with care, but expedi-
ton"
The toughest problem facing
Democratic leaders is to get
House action on the housing
and school construction bills
which have been tied up in the
Rules Committee for months.
But there were reliable reports
today that the leaders will find
a way to get a test vote on all
major issues scheduled for ac-
tion at this short session.
This would include minimum
wage, housing, school construc-
tion, foreign aid and other re-
naming appropriation bills.
Before taking the floor to
call up the medical-care bill,
Finance Committee Chairman
Harry F. Byrd, Democrat of
Virginia, said in an interview
the sooner Congress winds up
what it has to do the better
for the country and the politi-
cal parties" He argued that
it is difficult to legislate in the
existing political atmosphere.
Wants Voter Decision
He indicated he thought Con-
gress should dispose of the
remaining appropriations bills
and let the country express its
will in the November elections
on the platforms of the two
parties.
But he said he would try to
pass the medical care bill re-
ported from his committee,
which follows the House plan
of limiting Federal action to
helping to finance voluntary
State programs.
The Senate committee version
would increase the Federal
share of the cost in many States
from IS to 80 per cent.
BY meeting today Senate
leaders hope to pass the medical
care bill early next week. II
that happens Congress will
have a good chance of adjourn
ing September 2 or 3, before
the Labor Day week end.
A major battle is expected
in the Senate by Democratic
liberals to add a compulsory
social security type of health
insurance to the voluntary
State plan.
