Baby Reported Victim
The planes then attacked the
school and the hospital, caus-
ing further casualties. Machine
gun bullets struck the mater
nifty ward and one killed a new
born baby girl at her mothers
breast. The diStraught mother
confirmed this.
The planes attacked cars
moving on the road near town
and at least three African civil
ian occupants were hit.
Pilots might mistake the bar
rackS-like array of the 300-bed
hospital for a military camp
situated a half mile away, but
the roof of the main building
was clearly marked with a.
red cross.
In a speech in Elisabethville,
Mr.. TShombe called once more
for total war against the U. N.
and pledged his government
will never leave the national
soil" Meanwhile, American
GlobemaSters flew in fresh U. N.
troops in what appeared a
buildup for an all-out U. N.
offensive.
Like Earlier Speech
Mr.. TShombe'S speech was
virtually a duplicate of one he
had made just before the fight
ing broke out 10 days ago. This
time he told his people:
The tom-tom must beat
this night to call our warriors
to the fight Everywhere in
the bush the army of warriors
must answer this ancestral call
of our war tom-tomS. Then
poisoned arrows will shower on
their opponents, each 'onuSien'
CU. N. mani will be a corpse.
1t will be total war"
U. N. jets attacked Elisabeth
ville's southern suburbs yester-

An Indian civilian living in
Elisabethville was beheaded
yesterday by Katanga soldiers
who mistook him for a Gurkha
with the U. N. army. The Slay-
ing occurred in the no mans
land on the fringe of the capi-
tai between a disputed tunnel
and the U. N. front line.
tThe Belgian press said Mr..
Tshombe has appealed "as a
Christian myself, of the ProteS-
tant faith" to Pope John XIII
to intervene to end the blood
shed in Katanga. Vatican
sources said they did not know
whether such an appeal has
been received and declined
comment on the reportD
Katanga Firing Reported
U. N. headquarters in Leo
poldville reported Katangan
mortars started firing on U.
N. positions in EliSabethville
again last night from batteries
located close by a Red Cross
refugee center where many
European women and children
were sheltered.
This was one more example /
of the Katangans using civil
ians as shields for their at
tacks," a U. N. spokesman said.
The U. N. spokesman denied
Katanga charges that U. N,
forces fired on civilian loca-
tions in central Elisabethville,
such as the cathedral.
Further U. N. air strikes
yesterday knocked out road
blocks, jeeps, armored cars
and camouflaged military
trucks, the U. N. announced.

l3 Katanga railroad locomo-
tives have now been destroyed
in air attacks.

mercenaries were released by
