independence from Belgium
last June 80. Soon Soviet tech

office and sent him to Jail for
trial on charges Of crimes
against the nation.
But even in detention. Mr..
Lumumba made his weight felt
and at the time Of his death.
his followers were in control Of
about a third Of the Congo.
Bodies Buried
Mr.. Munonga said three Ka.
tanga cabinet ministers flew 10
the Staying scene to confirm the
deaths. He said the bodies were
buried at a place he refused to
name.
He said earlier 100 police and
provincial troops had been
thrown into a search for the
Lumumba party. with helicop-
ters and spotter planes. One Of
these planes sighted the car in
which Mr.. Lumumba sup
posedly fled.
Katanga Province, headed by
Noise Tshombe. broke away
from Lumumba's central Congo
government as the ex-poStal
clerk took over the prime min
istry last summer. This was
one Of the sorest points the
Lumumba regime had to face.
because Katanga has most Of
the Congo's mineral riches.
After his arrest, Mr.. Lu-
mumba was first jailed near
Leopoldville by Maj. Gen. Jo-
seph Mobutu. the Congo's mill
tary strongman. But three
weeks ago the ex-Premier was
brought to Katanga Province
on the ground he could be de-
tained more safely here.
Escape Called Genuine
Mr.. Tshombe has insisted
Mr.. Lumumba made genuine
escape last week. But he de-
clared Mr.. Lumumba's fate was
an internal matter and none
Of the United Nations business.
Over the week end. he refused
to cooperate with a U. N. team
that came here from Leopold
vile to investigate.
Yesterday Mr.. Tshombe said
he was awaiting a full report
from his own investigators.
Jean Tgnee. interior secretary.
said last night independent re-
lports from 10 sources in South
west Katanga Province seemed
to pinpoint Mr.. Lumumba's S
hiding place.
A newspaper in Durham,
South Africa. reported from
Elisabethville yesterday that it
was believed the battered,
blindfolded ex-premier was
shot to death on January II,
just after he was flown to Els
abethville from the Leopold
vile area for more secure i'm
prisonment.
Escape Account Given
Mr.. Tignee said the govern
ment commission investigating
the escape gave this account in
its first report:
"Lumumba and the two
: others escaped by digging a
! hole in the soft concrete wall
of the room in which they were
held. They took iron spikes
} used to hold up a curtain rail
and dug through the wall
slowly, hiding the hole with
the curtains.

yard in diameter, about l am.

A few seconds-such little things
and yet they, in the providence Of
God, were sufficient to spare the
life of one destined to greatness in
the annals of the Christian Church.
Abraham Lincoln, previously re-
ferred TO, was born in February OF

the world at a time when Europe
was being made desolate by the
conflagration of war When Lincoln
was three years old, Napoleon, at

William Allan White picks up
this thought Of littleness and turns
it to a slightly different direction.
From little things he turns to what
the world calls little people and
brings them word of encourage

humor. He writes: Brace up, little
