Independence
lnAfricaVotes

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Mar. 18 (AP).-The United
States has notified Western
colonial allies it will steer an
independent course on Africa
as the General Assembly
headed into an agenda bristling
with explosive African issues.
The United States position
was spelled out in a statement
last night explaining the Secur-
ity Council vote in which it
split with the Western allies
on Portugals method of gov
erning her African territory of
Angola.
The United States delegation
said the move had been made
after high level consultation
and indicated the Kennedy
administration would not hesi-
tate to take a position at odds
with an ally on other issues
concerning racial OF colonial
issues.
The United States announce
ment was certain to have a
sharp impact on the 99-natiou
body confronted with such hot
potatoes as South Africa's
white SupremaciSt policies,
U. N. probe criticizing Belgian
actions in Ruanda- -Urundi and
fresh demands for reforms in
Portuguese Angola.
AsianS and Africans Happy
ASian-African nations were
jubilant. They had welcomed
this weeks United States votes
trapping Portugal on Angola
and cenSuring South Africa for
its policies in Southwest Africa
but many were doubtful
whether this was a mere ges-
ture, or signified a real change.
Some diplomats wondered if
United States Chief Delegate
Adlai E. Stevenson had acted
on his own without White
House sanction.
| But Francis w. Carpenter,
United States delegation
spokesman, in a formal state
ment last night, said the United
States decision to vote for the
Angola resolution was made
only after Mr.. Stevenson had
consulted with State Depart
ment officials and after ap-
proval by President Kennedy
and Secretary Of State RuSk.
The policy decisions behind
the vote, which were all re-
Elected in Nh. Stevenson's
speech before the Security
Council, had been carefully
considered" Mr.. Carpenter
said.
Our allies were informed in
advance. We have a deep and
continuing interest common
with them. The difficulty and
complexity of African questions
are, however, such that there
are and may continue to be
differences in approach in
some of them"
The Assembly, stalled for two
weeks while the big powers
dlckered over what to discuss
resumes session next week with
African issues blanketing the
agenda.
India is striving to get
priority for the question of
South Africa's race segregation
policies when the special politi-
cal committee meets Monday.
The main political committee
expects to open Tuesday with

ton for the people of Africa.

A U. N. spokesman described
the fanatics as a terrorist
group several hundred strong. "
They are concentrated around
the Kivu town of Kasongo and
are known as "Kartelites."
According to reports brought
back to Kindu by missionaries
recently in Kasongo the Kar-
telites are armed with bows
and arrows and wear a band
of leopardskin around their

No Killings Reported
Their avowed intent is to
kill all whites" A U. N.

by them have reached the

The spokesman said the
Congolese population around
Kasongo also as in fear of

The two Southern Senators said
Kennedy did not notify them of the

Robertson said he was "sur-

selection and added he felt that
Kennedy did mot pick the right

Sparkman was more guarded in
his statements. He said he did not

ment. ...-
Robertson said he would contact
Kennedy or his personal adviser

Failing in that move, Robertson
indicated he would oppose Weaver

assigned duties. A series of at
tacks upon Ethiopian Tribesmen
were also undertaken during which
several Ethiopians were killed,
others wounded and their posses
sions looted. ft
These incidents occurred between
Aware and Wardere in the general
vicinity Of Danot, approximately
ITO kilometers inside Ethiopia.
There has been a large scale clash
between Ethiopian Security Forces
and attacking tribesmen from So
malta following a series of incl
dents in Gabre Dahare, provoked
by Nomadic Tribesmen from So
malta beginning two weeks ago
Fighting erupted December 26th
at Danot area when tribsemen
from Somalia attacked Ethiopian
Security Forces. During the fight
ing which continued intermittently
four days there were heavy cas-
9ualties on both sides but the exact
number dead and wounded is not
known. The Ethiopian Security
Forces succeeded on December 29th

attacking tribsemen.
On December 28th the Police
Garrison at Danot which had been
earlier surrounded by tribesmen
from NSomalia was subjected to
heavy attack as has been explicitly
admitted in public statements by
the Prime Minister of the Republic
of Somalia. During this time the
number of tribesmen from Somalia
in the Danot region was approx
mately. 1000 of whom 5000 were
estimated to be heavily armed. AZ
ter having been beaten off in sew
eral assaults on the garrison, at
tacking tribesmen fled across the
frontier. Reports from the scene
reveal that prior to the attack on
the garrison reinforcements were
rushed to Danot by truck from
Somalia. These reinforcements
constituted tribesmen armed and
trained in a manner suggestive of
military organization. The at
tackers were armed with new and
standardized weapons including
hand grenades, and not in a style
of dress commonly adopted by
Nomads. Similarly tactics used in
the assault and construction of
earthworks suggest a trained and
organized force rather than migra-
tory tribesmen. Incidents out of
which this clash arose involved
the killing of Ethiopian Tribesmen
including women and children, and
the looting of property by Somalia
Tribesmen entering Ethiopia os-
tensibly for grazing purposes in
accordance with the 1896-1897
Treaty.
The Ethiopian Ambassador at
Mogadiscio delivered strong pro-
test to the Somali Government and
requested that immediate action be
taken to assure that Nomadic
tribesmen crossing from Somalia
into Ethipia are unarmed.
The Prime Minister of the Re-
Jackson advocate., 1961-01-14

public of Somalia in a speech to
the Somalia Parliament in Mo-
gadiscio is reported to have stated
that the 1897 Treaty which de-
limited the Frontier between Eth
opia and the then British Protec-
torate of Somaliland has no valid
ity. If this statement was made
as reported the implications could
be most serious and far reaching
1t is noted, however, that in the
same address the Prime Minister
appears to have relied upon the
same Treaty as constituting the
basis upon which tribesmen from
Somalia enter Ethipjia to Craze
and water their stock and the po-
sition of the Comalia Government
on this matter thus appears un-
clear and contradictory at present
The Imperial Ethiopian Govern
ment remains hopeful that despite
these unfortunate events a speedy
solution to the difficulties may be
formulated jointly by the two Gov
ernments concerned.
The Imperial Ethiopian Govern
ment was among the first to call
for independence of Somalia and
lent answering support to this
policy until the objective was real
lied. The Imperial Ethiopian
Government throughout never
failed to manifest by action, as
well as word, its deep desire to
live in friendship with the people
of Somalia. The Imperial Eth
opian Government reaffirms its
determination that no obstacle
shall be permitted to stand in the
way of realization of close and
cordial relations which should and
must exist between these two sis
ter states. At the same time the
Imperial Ethiopian Government
has no alternative but to take such
measures as may be requisite to
ensure security to persons and
property of the Ethiopian Nation
ais and maintenance of law ano
order within regions comprising

But the monarch significantly
failed to mention formation of an
all-African military command, to
be drawn from forces of African
states now serving the UN in
the Congo, which might be placed
at the disposal of the pro-Lumum-
ba regime at Stanleyville.
Guinea in particular and also,
it is thought, the United Arab
Republic, were anxious for the
Casablanca conference to agree on
such force which might provide
MI. Lumumba with a lever to
propel himself back into power.

All nations represented at Cas-
ablanca - Morocco, the U.A.R.,
Ghana, Guinea, Mali, the Algerian
Provisional Government, Libya &
Ceylon - recognize Mr.. Lumum-
ba as Cong0s legitimate head of
the government.
Following Mr.. Lumumba's ar
rest by central government troops
of Col. Joseph Mobutu, dissident
pro-Lumumba regime was set up
at Stanleyville, capital of Oriental
Province, by Antoine Gisenga, for
mer Vice-Premier in Mr.. Iumum-
ba's cabinet.
Western diplomatic sources had
been concerned that Casablance
conferees might pull their troops
out of the UN command and place
them at Mr.. Gisenga's service,
thus wrecking the UN command
in the Congo and heralding a new
and dangerous scramble for pow
er in that country.
Western sources appeared visi-
| bly, relieved following the King 5

overruled by fire-eating resolu-
