developments during the 1865:
A greater emphasis on the
needs of the lesS-talented stu-
dent in both academic and

A stepped-up program to re-
wise curriculumS, especially in
English and mathematics, ito

a product evaluation" and to
be sure the schools ARE geareo
to reality"

Senator Morton of Kentucky,
the Republican national chair
man, today accused New York
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of
supplying the Democrats with
political ammunition by at
tacking Eisenhower admin
stration policies.
Senator Morton spoke criti-
cally of Gov. Rockefeller, also
a Republican, after a White
House conference with Presi-
dent Eisensower. In response
to a question, however, Senator
Morton said he did not discuss
the Rockefeller attacks with
Mr.. Eisenhower.
Gov. Rockefeller has been
criticizing the administrations
national defense policy and
program for health insurance

Senator Morton said Gov.
Rockefeller has every right to
express his views. But he added
the Rockefeller criticism was

ton"

learned that some delegates
planned to break precedent and

1t was reported that Mr..

Other American states that

The United States bluntly
accused the Cuban leader and
his government of lies, distor-

provocations which contribute
to international tension in the

The exercise Of restraint to-

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK,
Mont, June 30.-Some big po-
litical question marks remained
today in the wake of the SD

here.
They were:

8. Has former President

of opposition to Senator Ken

Missouri delegate to the con-
vention?
Gov. Rockefeller, who cap
tured more than any other
Governor the interest of the
conference, climaxed the clos

a press conference at which he
limited he might sit out the

Belgian King ProcIoims Congo Free;
New Premier Replies With Attack

LEOPOIDVIILE, Republic
of Congo, June 80 (AP).-
Belgium handed over the rich
Congo to its native leaders to-
day with a word OF, caution and
an appeal for friendship. The
new Premier responded with a
stinging attack on Belgian
colonial rule.
Proudly wearing the mauve-
red sash of Belgium's top Order
of Leopold presented before
the independence ceremonies,
Premier Patrice Lumumba ut
tered these harsh words in the
crowded Parliament chamber.
I'VE have known the ironies
and insults, the blows to which
we had to submit morning,
noon and night because we are
Negroes"
The tall, goateed Nationalist
said the Congolese suffered
under Belgian law, which he
described as never the same for
blacks as for whites accom-
modating for one. cruel and
inhuman for the other"
Refers to Sufferings
I'VE have known atrocious
sufferings for political opinions
or religious beliefs" he went
on. I'VE have known that in
the cities were magnificent
houses for the whites and de-
crepit huts for the blacks, that
a black was not admitted to
the cinemas nor in the restau-
rants nor in the stores called
European
But despite all that, we,
who have been chosen by your
elected representatives to di-
rect our dear country; we, who
have suffered in our bodies and
in our hearts from colonial op-
preston, say to you that all is
finished.
"The Republic of Congo has
been proclaimed and is in the
hands of its own children. To-
gether my brothers, we must
begin a new fight. a sublime
fight which is going to lead our
country to peace, to prosperity
and to grandeur.
The scene in the unfinished
chamber was somber. The dep
uties wore dark business suits,
although a few combined their
european dress with the
plumed headdresses.
Artillery BOOmS
Belgium's young King Bau-
douin, reSplendent in a white
uniform, was greeted by thun-
derous applause as he rose to
speak. An artillery battery
doomed slowly as he proclaimed
Congo's independence, ending
80 years of Belgian rule over
the vast colony in Central At
rica which was once his great
granduncle's personal domain.
Your task is immense and
you are the first to realize it,
Baudouin told the new leaders
of the nation one-third the size
of the United States.
THE principal dangers which
threaten you are: The inexperi-
ence in self-government of the
populations, the tribal rival
ries which have done so much
evil in the past and which must
not, at any cost. resume, and
the attraction which foreign
powers ready to take advantage
of the least weakness may ex-
erciSe on certain regions"
Natives Celebrate
AS the King spoke inside the
still unfinished Palace of the
Nation. thousands on thousands
of Congolese, many of them
dressed in colorful native garb, ;,
massed outside to celebrate
their new independence. The
burst of firecrackers competed
with the saluting guns.
The jubilant crowds broke
through police lines to swarm
around the Kings car as he
arrived at Notre Dame Cathe-
dral for tie deum service pre-
ceding the proclamation of in
