Nov. 25 (AP). President
Noise TShombe warned today
any attempt to end Katanga' s
independence would be met by
force "even if the whole Ka-
tanga population - black and
white - has to die"
Mr.. Tshombe called a special
news conference to reply to the
United Nations Security Coun-
Gil resolution adopted yesterday
declaring Katanga's secession
from the Central CongoleSe
government must be ended by
force if necessary"
"A policy of violence will be
met by violence" Mr.. Tshombe
told newsmen. I'VE are pre-
pared for any negotiation and
solution of the (Secession)
problem by peaceful means.
However. if we are attacked we
will reply with force.
Even if the whole Katanga
population - black and white
has to die and our economy
to be destroyed we will resist.
Puts Onus on U. N.
IF the United Nations forces
a repetition of the events of
September 10, it will be t h e
United Nations fault and the
new secretary general, U Thant,
will bear more responsibility
for what happens than did the
late Mr.. Secretary General
Dag Hammarskjold."
Mr.. Tshombe was referring
to an attack by U. N. forces
in September in an attempt to
carry out a U. N. resolution
calling for the custer of white
soldiers from Katanga's army.
Bitter fighting broke out, end
ing a week later in a truce that
left Katanga'S position as
strong as ever.

La Derniere Heure quoted
Mr.. Tshombe as saying in a
telephone interview tn at
there are no foreigners in
the Katanga army
Mr.. TShombe said his cabi-
net met for three hours to re-
view Katanga's position in view
of the latest U. N. action.
Meanwhile, tensions rose in
Elisabethville.
Previous U. N. Delay Noted
Many saw another battle
looming between U. N. and Ka-
tangan forces. However, others
noted that there was a seven
month delay before the U. N.
command attacked last Sep
tember in trying to enforce the
resolution adopted in February.
They envisioned a similar de-
lay before any new U. N. action.
Mr.. Tshombe announced he
will hold a Sunday rally in the
football stadium in the Afri-
can quarter of Eoisabethville.
The last time he held a rally
Africans roamed through t h e
city stoning U. N. troops and

The Governor has told us that the District Court
Building has been surveyed is considered unsuitable and
that was from 1887. That was a report4made by the Navy
Department.
MI. Chairman, sometime ago the District Commits
sioner Of immigration was before us and he stated that
any time the immigration, goes in a Community where
there is not enough space to house its office, the Federal
Government usually constructs the necessary facilities. lie
said it was done in New York, California and in Maryland
o place-the Federal Government put up a building to
e House the immigration and Naturalization Service.
Now. Mr.. Chairman, here in the Virgin Islands,
where there is limited space, / don't see how it is possible
for us to put the immigration and Naturalization Service
down stairs and throw out some OF our oWn@local agencies.
We need that space ourselves. I think Mr., Chairman.
THE PRESIDENT: Senator
MR.. REESE: Yes. Mr.. Chairman.
THE PRESIDENT: May | state, just for your edit
cation, we have nothing before the Legislature on that
subject for consideration. We have already told the gov
ernor and the immigration service that we do not look
with favor upon having the immigration Service move IN
the legislative building.
We have made no commitments one way or the other
to consider hesImnigration Service coming into this
building.
MR.. REESE: Well, Mr.. Chairman, the letter is
there. And, they are drawing our attention to the S2O,UOO
appropriated for the face-lfting OF that building, and
also
PRESIDENT: They have made no request
Senator.
MR.. REESE: For repairing a boathouse out there
THE PRESIDENT: They have asked, that in lieu Of
they not coming into this building that we appropriate
moneys to face-lift that building over there. That's what
they've asked.
Mr.. REESE: Is there anything showing that they
have been refused money from the Federal Government to
face-lift that building which they now occupy.
H PRESIDENT: This is only a suggestion that
they are making to the Administration.
MR.. REESE: Well, Mr.. Chairman, I think we
should 90 further. There should be some kind of confer
ence with the District Commissioner, or regional director
as he is called, to find out if the Federal Government will
give the money to erect a building or to face-lift that build
ing there. AS a matter Of fact we are in the process now
Of buying land and erecting buildings for our Court Room
and other government Offices.

REPORTS Of COMMITTEES
The Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary re-
ported that his committee met several times and discussed
the Report filed by its Special Assistant; That the Com

that there was only one objection raised to a specific sec
ton OF the report, which was later clarified; that Mem
Ibers of the committee favored waiting until the return Of
Senator Guadalupe before again considering the report.
The Chairman therefore recommended that the mat
ter be brought to the attention Of the Legislature for con
SHERATON, because he does not see any strong or major
objection to the Report.

mittee he had asked for time until today to consider the
question, but that Senator Guadalupe had requested that

Andersen Appoints
Newman TO Gov.
Riqhfs Commission

1t was announced last week that
Governor Elmer L. Anderson had
appointed Cecil Newman, Twin
City newspaper publisher to the
Governors Human Rights Com
mission for a term expiring Dec.
81, 1862.
A sidelight to the appointment
was the fact that Newman is cred
tied with the suggestion which
brought about the formation of the
group by Gov. Edward Thye dur
ing his first term.
At the heighth of the Detroit
race riots in the World War II
period Newman urged Major Sam
uel L. Ransom, then a close ad-
visor to Gov. Thye, to suggest to
the then Minnesota chief executive,
that a state body be formed to
combat racial and religious ten
sions.
Gov. Thye Immediately accepted
the suggestion, however he did not
know where the original sugges-
ftion came from. In the intervening
years Newman was never asked to
serve on the body, until Gov. An
dersen asked him this month.
Newman said upon acceptance
The Governors Human told Gov
errors Interracial Commission)

service to the cause of creating a
favorable climate of cooperation
between the various races and
creeds in our state. 1T has never
been fully accorded the credit il
deserves or the budget it needs tC

ing our population on the need tc

himself. In all fairness to Mr..
Reeves, however, he is not overly
fat.
AS to his specific job and re-
sponsibility, Mr.. Reeves said he
works chiefly in the area of civil
rights, handling problems of min
critics. Since it then was about
seven o'clock in the evening, I
asked him about his working hours.
Working hours are determined
by two factors" he replied. They
are physical endurance, and the
pressures of the time or situation"
He added that he follows no par
ticular routine in dealing with
problems.
He said he might think he has
his work for a particular day
planned. Then the phone rings, and
he is shunted off on another prob
lem for hours. He handles a var
iety of problems, but said he con-
siders it important to seek to i'm
prove communication between the
Executive Branch and the minor
tiles.
DO you travel and speak
much?"
He glanced at his speaking
schedule and reeled off few en-
gagements. Next week I go to
Durham, North Carolina, the fol-
lowing week New York, the next
week Mobile, Alabama, then New
ark, New Jersey and then to Hol-
lywood. He flies on most of his
trips.
Mr.. Reeves brings a rich back
ground 70 his job. He was grad
uated from Howard University
with a B. A. cum laude, in 1886
He was awarded the L. L, B. de-
gree in 1889, and was a member
of the faculty at Howard during
(1942-43). He is on leave from the
law firm of Reeves, Robinson and
Duncan, where he is senior partner
From 1910 to 1912, he was AS
sistant to Thurgood Marshall
Special Counsel for NAACP.

this problem Of segregation in

Rusk wrote Acknowledgement Rob-

our ability to achieve those same
purposes for all the people of our
own country. The principles of rae
ial equality and non-discrimination
are imperatves of the American
society with its many racial
strains. In the degree to which we
ourselves practice those principles
our voice will carry conviction in
seeking national goals in the con-

on-the-go."
We went into his office which
is on the second floor Of the Exec
utive Office Building next to the
White House. The phone began
ringing almost as soon as we en-
tered his office. During the next
10 minutes, Mr.. Reeves handled no
less than twelve calls. He handled
each with dispatch, and gave one
the impression he knew just what
he was doing. After each call he
apoIogized: I'm sorry"
While waiting, walked around
the room. In one corner was a
United States flag. Nearby, on a
wall was the picture of President
Kennedy On an opposite wall was
a certificate of appointment signed
by Secretary of State Ruslk, with
the Presidents signature scrawled
thereto. This was the instrument
which brought Mr.. Reeves and nine
other Special Assistants to the
President to their jobs.
Finally, we had an opportunity
to talk.
How do you start your day."
IT get down to the office about
9:15. I start my day by having

displaying his bay window, but
what I really mean is I have my

He confided that although he is
on a diet, he cheats sometimes be-
cause he often has lunch during
conferences, and it sometimes is
difficult not to take on too many
calories.
The phone tangled again. He
was tied up for about ten minutes
more on several calls. He seemed
relaxed and self -assured as he sat
talking on the phone. He was
wearing a brown suit, brown tie
tan shirt and casual brown shoes
He had short-cropped mingled gray
hair. He wore a neatly-trimmed
mustache. He looked very much
like an affable doctor who had
grown prosperous advising his pa
tents to stay on their diets, but
