Saturday q central government
ultimatum to throw back the
intr1ders after another 500
rebels had marched into Lulua-

way for the advancing rebel
troops from Stanleyville.

Lumumbists Active
The intentions Of the rebel
force from Stanleyville which
backs up the late Patrice Lu-
mun1ba's regime in the north
eastern Congo are unclear. Halt
the country is now believed
under Lumumbist control.
The military column Of about
500 men has met no resistance
so far from either q. N. or CEN
tral government soldiers. Most
Of Gen. Mobutu's government
troops are hundreds Of miles
north in Equator Province,
asked by the U. N. command
to hold up their own planned
invasion Of rebel-dominated
territory.

new uncertainty is G. Mennen

williams to See Kasavubu
His party of 10 was to 60

port to a private briefing by
United States Ambassador
Clare H. Timberlake. Mr.. VIII
liams is to talk tomorrow with
President Kasavubu and Pre-
mier Joseph leo, then meet Mr.
Dayal.
The way Mr.. Dayal has
handled his Job as head Of the
U.N. Congo mission has created
expressions Of anger and mis-.
trust among Congolese loyal tc
the Kasavubu government.
The Kasavubu regime has
accused the United Nations oi
two-faced dealing with the rivaI
Leopoldville and Stanleyville
regimes.
The complaint is that the
U. N. command has persuaded
Gen. Mobutu not to send his
army against Stanleyville, vel
does nothing to stop Stanley
vile troops on the march.
U. N. headquarters in New
York published yesterday g
Kasavubu letter charging thai
the U. N. Congo command ha;
ignored, since rebel troops first
left Stanleyville two weeks ago
his repeated requests to hall
the rebel movement.
The growing feeling among
some diplomats here is that
responsible for this policy OF
not, Mr.. Dayal ought to be re.
placed to help restore Congo
confidence in the United Ma.
tionS.
In New York, an African
leader said there would be hopt
for ending the Congo's trouble.
