PRO LUMUMBA FORCES
took over the city of Luluabourg,
about 500 miles from Leopold
vile, in the Congo. The central
government Saturday gave UN
troops six hours to clear them
out. Around 300 Lumumbist
troops moved into the city after
a march of some 800 miles from
Oriental province. The takeover
was apparently supported by
government soldiers garrisoned
there. The news caused alarm
among government officials in
Leopoldville, and the ultimatum
was given to the UN. With the
seizure of I.uluabourg, capital of
kasal province, the rebles con-

PREMIER NIkITA KHRUSH-
CHEW Saturday suggested the
Congo crisis be left to the Afri-

stuck to his demands for the
custer of Dag Hammarskjold as
Secretary General of the UN. He
also demanded that Antoine
Gizenga's regime be recognized
as the legitimate Congolese gov
eminent. Gizenga appears to
have fallen heir to the mantle of
his dead leader. Lumumba, and
has his capital at Stanleyville.

New Officers
OF FADE Make
First Contact

The newly installed officers Of
the Farmville Area Develop

with enthusiasm, the tedious
process of turning over every
possible stone, hoping that un-
derneath one may be found an

Friday S. Waverly Putney,
Jr., president, reports. Noticing

ney and other officials immedi-
ately made contact, hoping that
Farmville would have the an
SWer.
I'VE did not meet with much
success" Putney said, but we
feel that we have made a signif-
icant start" Actually Reynolds
was, and still is, looking for a
building that is already con-
structed, and contains 100000
square feet of space.
1--WE estimated that such q
building would cost approx
! mately six million dollars" Put
ney said I'VE will continue tt
talk with Reynolds about the pro

building was needed immediate
ly and there would not be time
to construct one. In fact we were
told that Reynolds would pro
baby have to go out of the state
to find what they wanted al
ready constructed.
The Area Development Cor

ly located that could be used fol
such a project.

The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1961-02-28

The diSmay was occasioned by
the overriding of the State High
way Commission s 5 to approval
in 1857 of the southern route by
the Federal Bureau of Public
Roads.
w. c. Fitzpatrick, who had
actively worked with the Water
Level Route Association in sup
port of the southern route saw
the Washington decision as IAN
exemplification of federal power
irrespective of the prerogatives
of the states in particular fields.
Economic View
c. j. Cox. who had also con-
tributed to the southern route eff
fort. summed up the feeling of
economic deflation this way:
1.-The southern route would have
released more funds during con-
struction within 80 miles of
Farmville than the tobacco mar
ket distributes in 20 years
John D. Wilson, president of
the Farmville Chamber of Com
merce, which had worked active
ly for the location along Routes
800 and 460 via Farmville, Lynch
burg and Roanoke, was deeply
disappointed" Toge h e with
Mayor William F. Watkins. Jr.,
Wilson cited the expected advan-
tages for the southern region of
Virginia and the stimulus its ad-
vancement would have provided
for the entire state.
Mayor Watkins added he had
serious objections to the wisdom
of the northern route choice in
view of the 11-mile overlap with
the nOrth-South interstate link at
Staunton and the tunnel the
northern route may require in
the Route 60 vicinity
Cite States Right
State Senator Mosby G. Per-
row. Jr., who chaiImaned the
Water Level Route Association,
pointed out that the decision was
the first time in history that such
a federal action against the State
Highway Commission has taken
place.
1T behoOveS me to observe
that the last vestige of states
rights has been eliminated :.
especially when you read the
federal law, which says the OBJ
legation of locating the highway
is reposed in the State Highway
Commission.
Fourth District Congressman
Watkins M. Abbitt had this to
say: This is a great demonstra-
ton of what actually happens
when we have federal aid J..
federal aid is followed by federal
control just as night follows day.
When the states give up response
bility, naturally they give up con-
troll
Appeal Possible
No one here has yet heard any
thing about an appeal on the fed
eral level. Governor Almond said
he did not know whether it would
be possible to appeal. News &C
counts credited Roanoke leaders
as hoping to summon southern
route proponents to meeting.
Gordon Willis, of that city. recog-
nized as one of the originators
of the southern corridor route,
said. Action definitely will be
taken, and a meeting of the
water level group called" He
