Secretary Attacked Again =
Mr.. Khrushchev reiterated
his demand that the U. N. be
reformed and that Mr.. Ham
Eharskjold be ousted.
However. he pointed out
there was q division between
two major groups in the world
which might result 'in the
Congo becoming q scene Of the
cold war between the rival
groupings"
THE setting up Of a COM
mission composed of the repre-
sentatives Of the African states
whose troops have been sent to
the Congo in accordance with
the decision Of the Security
Council would, in our opinion,
promote the implementation Of
measures aimed at the deliver
ance Of the Congo from the
aggression Of colonialists and
at the restoration Of the coun-
try's Independence" he said.
The commission might be
entrusted with the task Of the
supervision in full contact with
the country'S legitimate gov

For its part. the Soviet gov

with other states friendly to-

to render such help to the Con-
golese people and the legitimate ,
government"
Mr.. Khrushchev declared that
in this weeks meeting of the
Security Council those who 4
pretend to lament over the
murders" Of Lumumba and |,
others could not raise their i
hands" in favor Of a resolution /
submitted by the Soviet Union /
condemning those Russia con-
sidered the guilty ones.
y Instead a resolution was
passed which condemned the ,
facts Of murder" but did mott
even mention the murderers BY
their names"
: He declared that the aim of j
the Western powers appeared +,
to be ito gain the upper hand [
over the patriotic forces in the Ii

Mr.. Khrushchev added that
