I'VE still hold this belief. It
is for this very reason that the
Soviet government proposes
that a peace treaty be con-

more exact, with the two Ger

is the most important step on
the way to termination of the
arms race, to disarmament and
peace. And we would be very

Meeting Is First
The meeting of the President
was his first with the center's
30 trustees and 70-member ad-
visory board.
After the President spoke,
the joint meeting unveiled a
plan for a country wide closed

The commission took testi-
mony from witnesses at four
meetings in New York, two in
Brussels and 10 in Geneva.
Among those who testified
were former mercenaries and
U. N. officials who had been
in various parts of the Congo.
The commission studied also
documents and other material
supplied by the U. N. Secre-
tariat and some U. N. member
The U. N. General Assembly
established the commission last
April upon recommendation by
the Security Council. It's men,
bers were Justice Aung Kline
of Burma, Alto Tashoma Halle
marian of Ethiopia, DR.. Sal
vador Martinez de Alva of
Mexico and Maltre Ayite DIAL
media OF Togo.
MercenarieS Reluctant
The commission declared
that "a great deal of suspicion
is cast on a certain Col. Huy-
CHE, a Belgian mercenary," as
being the actual perpetrator of
Lumumba's murder.
It said that the murder was
committed in accordance with
a pre-arranged plan and that
a certain Capt. Cat, also a Bel
gian mercenary, was at all
times an accessory to the
crime"
Regarding Mr.. Lumumba' S
two associates, Joseph Okito
and Mauric Mpolo, "the evi-

Appealing for support from
throughout the country, the
President told the center's
trustees assembled at the White
House:
"In building here, you are
building for your country and
your own communities. I would
not be as intimately associated
with this project as I am if ]
didn't think it would be sue

The President said that
Washington "lacks some of the
great cultural assets of Lon
don, Paris and Rome - snd,
yes, of Moscow ITSELF" and
that for this reason a cultural
center was important.

The fire started in Little

U. n. Supports
NucIedr Ban
For All Africa
Political Group
Brushes Aside
Vests Protest

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Nov. IA (AP). - The main
United Nations Political Com
mittee today brushed aside op-
position of the Western nuclear
powers and called for recogni-
ton of Africa as a denuclear-
lied zone.
The vote on the African
sponsored resolution was $40
with 42 abstaining.
1t not only called for a halt
to all nuclear weapons testing
in Africa, but urged all coun-
tries to refrain from transport
ing or storing hydrogen or
atomic bombs on African terri
tory.
The United States and
France voted against two key
provisions of the resolution in
paragraph-by- paragraph vot-
ing. but on the resolution as a
whole they abstained along
with Britain. a substantial
number of Western European
countries and some Latin
American delegates.
Reds Vote for Ban
The Soviet bloc voted with
the majority for the resolution.
The Western powers object
ed to having such restrictions
voted for only one part Of the
world. The move hit directly at
France which has a nuclear
testing base in the Sahara.
The committee also approved
an Asian-African proposal de-
Glazing the use of nuclear
weapons in war a violation Of
the U. N. charter and a crime
against mankind. The rcsolu-
tion called on the acting q. N.
Secretary General to explore
the possibility of convening an
international conference to
outlaw the use of rfuclear
weapons in war.
This was approved by a vote
of so to is with Is abstaining.
The United States, Britain and
France were among those vot-
ing against the resolution. The
Soviet bloc voted for it.
The vote came after the
committee had rejected a. Sc
ries Of Italian amendments
which would have made the
proposal acceptable to the
Western powers.
Final Approval Seen
Both this and the proposal To
denuclearize Africa were as
sured final approval by the
General Assembly in view of
the substantial majorities they
received.
The Western powers insisted
that any ban on the use of nu-
clear weapons should be taken
up as part Of the u. N. debate
on general disarmament. This
debate was scheduled to follow
Immediately after the nuclear
debate in the Political Com
mittee.
Soviet Delegate Semyon K.
TSarapkin said the Western
powers were opposed to the
proposals because of what he
called the aggressive plans Of
the North Atlantic Alliance.
Italian Delegate Gaetano
MARITIME asked why the Rus
slams had tried to make an
East-West issue of the proposal
aimed at outlawing the use of
nuclear weapons in war.

do you really believe" he
asked, that the Soviet Union
intends not to use nuclear wea-
pons in time of war? Or that

ton, intend to use nuclear
weapons? The Soviet Union
has no intention of abiding by
