Twenty -eight-year-old Jo-

An oncoming car forced Mr..

MOSCOW, Sept. 19 (AP).-
The Soviet press, which has
been carrying almost no news

cause Of a communications cut
of, pictured Patrice Lumumba
today as still the legal Premier.
Pravda printed two Tass re-

the other from London-quot-

A correspondent of the Ca

quoted as saying Mr.. Lumumba
was waiting for an answer
from the United Nations to his
request for aerial transporta-
tion to New York to head the
Congolese delegation to the
General Assembly "and seek
the establishment of legality
and order in the Congo"
Also printed by Pravda, the
Soviet Communist Party news
paper, was a British news
agency statement which quoted
Mr.. Lumumba as saying he is
supported by 80 per cent of the
Congolese people and "is going
to take proper measures
against Col. Joseph Mobutu,
the leader of the army coup
d'etat.

functioning of the Embassy

This statement gave the i'm
preston that the withdrawal
was taken on Soviet initiative

There was no mention OF the

American officials were eager

The United States conceded

cause Of fuzzy wording.
The resolution, for instance
called upon all states to re-

temporary period" the U. N

the resolution draft stipulated
that restricting military aid to
U. N. channels should be ac-
complished without prejudice
to the sovereign right of the
Republic of the Congo"
This left a loop-hole for BIZ
lateral requests from the Congo
On balance, however, officials
agreed the Soviet Union would
violate this resolution If it were
to resume bi-lateral shipments
Of military aid.

BELVOIR NANNIES
Goat Power
Keeps Post:
WeIICIipped

Fort Belvoir has turned to
goat power to cut the grass
around its ammunition mag
azine.
And the suggestion to turn
the goats loose on the rough,
Snake-infested terrain earned
Harold H. owen of Springfield,
Va, a $500 award, the largest
suggestion bonus paid to an
employe in recent Fort Belyoir
history.
The Fort Belvoir public in
formation Office said the goats
are thriving on the job and
multiplying rapidly. If the goat
family continues to increase
and it appears it will since all
the nannies are expecting-the
fort may make a little extra
money through the sale of sur
plus animals.
Taking care of the grass and
underground around the am
munition magazine was difficult
because of rough ground, rat
tlesnakes and waSps, until Mr..
Owens, of 5911 Frederick street.
hit on the idea of turning goats
loose on it.
Maj. A. H. Cubbon, staff Of
f1cer at the Fort Belvoir Supply
Office and Mr.. Owens boss,
said the goats have eliminated
a fire hazard and improved the
appearance Of the area 1000
per cent"
Maj. Cubbon said Mr.. Owens
rounded up 13 goats at no cost
to the government. In short
order they neatly trimmed the
grass and eliminated the un-
derbrush.
"The idea has saved hundreds
of man hours and untold
thousands of dollars" Maj.
Cubbon said. The goats are
being used now in other hard
to-cut areas of the post.
Sometimes we supplement
their diet with day-old let
tuce and other produce that the
commissary is throwing away.
but mostly we just let them eat
the grass" the major said.
