Union Miniere the villain in
the Congo crisis" Mr.. Rowan
said. IT personally wish Union
Miniere well. The Congo needs
much that Union Miniere can
give.
But IA million Congolese dc
not need-nor would they toll
erate-a secession that in ef-
feet would permit Union Min

kingdom"
Both Mr.. Rowan and Mr.
Williams attacked the self-de.
termination argument of those
favoring Katanga's secession.

Williams claimed. 1T has beer

had been vicious gossip about
Tarzan's alleged inability to
produce a marriage certificate.
There were also complaints
about the works Of the late
western author, Zane Grey, who
was accused of injecting a little
scarlet prose into his tales of
the purple sage. Mr.. Grey's
characters, Mr.. Moore said,
occasionally used such corrupt
ing language as Hell" and
damn"
II can assure you," Mr.. Moore
said, that the board unani-
mously feels the other way
that the books should stay"
Mr.. Moore said he hasn't
found out which school the
books were taken from because
"all the principals and teachers
are scattered for the holidays" p"
But he said he'll conduct an
investigation when classes
resume.
Sol Lesser, who produced
many Of the Tarzan movies,
said the same objections were
raised years ago. II had a long
correspondence with a number
of people who objected to the
fact that Tarzan and Jane
were living in a tree house and
had a son, all apparently with
out benefit Of matrimony," he
said.
I'VE established that the son
Cknown only as 'boyD was
found by Tarzan and Jane and
adopted by them. But that
didn't help much and the cor
respondence went on.
Finally ! spoke to Burroughs.
He said: I would advise you
to read my books. In one Of
my early books it was estab-
lished that James name was
Jane Porter. that she was the
daughter Of a minister in Bal
timore, Md, and that the father
went to the jungle and there
married Tarzan and Jane"
Cyril r. Rothmund, who was
Mr.. Burroughs manager, con-
firmed Mr.. Lesser's story. I'm
the second Tarzan book Tarzan
and Jane were married in the
jungle" Mr.. Rothmund said.
He said this book, published in
1915, was titled THE Return of
Tarzan." rF
Actress Maureen O'Sullivan,
most famous of all the James
in the Tarzan films. said similar
objections were raised in her
day. So. she said, Tarzan and
Jane were married on the
screen. .a
II believe 1t was in our sec

had a ceremony in the jungle.
We didn't use a ring. Instead,
Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller)
put a bracelet on my wrist.

but without success so far, Of
ficials say.
The key argument in the
pro Katanga campaign. said
Mr.. Rowan, Is that Noise
Tshombe, Katanga's President
is an ardent anti Communist
and therefore those opposing
Katanga's secession are aiding
the Communists.
This is about as cynical and
dishonest a bit of nonsense as
I have heard since going to
Washington" he said, adding
"It is an extremely revealing
thing to look at the sources of
support for Tshombe and his
policy Of secession.
I'm the United States we
have a conglomeration of arch
conservatives: People who op-
pose the income tax; avowed
defenders Of racial segregation;
opponents Of fluoridation of

stroy the Supreme Court, large

forth -"
At the Katanga Information
Service office at 600 Fifth ave-
nue. in New York, Sidney Hersh-
man said I'VE are accountable
to the Department Of Justice
and all our records are on file
there"
Mr.. Hershman said Mr.. Strut
ems was out of town and not
available for comment on Mr..
Rowan'S remarks, according to
the Associated Press.
Comments on Casualties
Katanga has fabricated "hor-
rendous tales of indiscriminate
mayhem by U. N. troops" Mr..
Williams charged. Actually
casualty figures have been held
down only by virtue of U. N.
restraint and discipline, which
has been very good
Mr.. Williams said the Ka-
tanga propaganda operation al
so operated widely in Europe. ="
He blamed local political ex-
tremistS and some 400 foreign
mercernaries, men of the worst
regulations" for pressing on
Mr.. Tshombe the use of force
to keep Katanga a separate
state.
"These individuals deliber-
ately initiated violence To-
mented activities designed to
frustrate the peace-making ef-
forts Of the U. NJ" he said.
Mr.. Rowan associated the
Union Miniere du Haut Ka-
tanga with Katanga's resistance
to the U. N. The company OPP
crates uranium, copper, cobalt
and other mines inNKatanga.
Union Miniere was a classic
of an example of the profitable
side of colonialism," Mr.. Rowan
said. It's net profits in 1860
were SAT million, and the first
half of 1861 was it most prof
liable in history, Mr.. Rowan
said.
The Belgian -controlle q
firm" pays about 80 per cent
of Katanga's tax revenues, Mr.
Rowan said, land I need not
tell you that any organization
that contributes that much OF
a PROVINCES revenue is going
to be a powerful force in the
affairs of that province"
Nov isn't it natural that
those with financial interests
in Union Miniere would rather
see Katanga ss an easily con-
trolled separate nation than
as part Of a larger Congo nation
whose government might moi
be as friendly as Mr.. Tshombe

among their three factions.
They already had agreed the
l6-man cabinet would include
four Boun Oum adherents,
eight neutralists and four
Pathet Lao men.
After a meeting of less than
an hour, Prince Boun Gum said
Prince Souvanna should draw
up a coalition cabinet and sub
NIT the list to the other pcAti-
cal groups for their approval.
He also demanded that the
eight neutraliSts be divided
equally between "Vietiane neu-
tralists" and "Souvanna neu-
tralists" and that the key posts
Of defense and interior be given
to his own conservative faction.
Some officials of Prince Boun
Gums government said the
premier was angered by Prince
Souphanouvong's airport speech
on arrival. in which he made a
violent attack on Prince Boun
Gum and his American hackers.
Prince Souvanna conferred
with King Savang Vathana for
half an hour and later was
visited briefly by Ngon Sa1ani-
kone, economics minister in the
Boun Oum government.

Prince souphanouvong also
went to the palace for a as
minute audience with the King
and then conferred with
Soviet Ambassador Alexander
Abramov. ,.
Mr.. Abramov, United States
Ambassador Winthrop Brown
and British Ambassador John
Adds called on Prince Sou
wanna shortly after his arrival
here yesterday.
Western diplomats and In
ternational Control Commission
officials were openly concerned
that failure Of the three polit-
ical princes to come to an
agreement would lead to new
hostilities with international
ramifications.
With dim prospects of a
little summit" conference.
some diplomats expressed hope
that Prince Souvanna might
succeed in forming a govern
ment through separate con-
versations with various leaders.
Red PuIl0ut Feared
There were fears, however,
that the ro-Communist Pathet
Lao delegation led by Prince
Souphanouvong might pack up
and return to the rebel strong
hold in North Laos.
Prince Souvanna'S group
showed the only eagerness to
organize a coalition. The Royal
government led by Prince Boun
Oum and the Pathet Lao on the
far left have deep suspicious Of
each other.
The three princes were
brought together in the capital

ence that has agreed on a policy
of neutrality for the Southeast

Tests Conducted On Gaseous Odor

The City is tackling the prob lem of the gaseous odor prevalent at the Frontier Shop building, ac- cording to City Manager Bill Pol and.
 He stated at the Council meeting Thursday he was unable to obtain an earth auger, as none were avail able in the area. The plan was to bore holes and conduct tests in an attempt to determine where the smell is coming from.
 The City is making pressure tests on several fuel tanks in the vicinity of the building. A two-and- onehalf-hour test on the tank at Patterson's Garage showed fairly constant pressure there, indicating there were no leaks from the tank. Similar tests will be made at Kraft's Motors, Clark's Garage, the City fuel tank and a tank owned by Jack Hinckel.

Mirrored Reflections
By SIG DECREE

There are few people who read the Congressional Record for other than to know what their senator or congressman said on certain sub- ject. The only way it could get more readers is to make it required reading. But there are some little gems of thought expressed and re- ported in it from time to time. Here's thought expressed by Rep. Younger in a speech before the House. He was commenting on a certain flower-the rose-as being a symbol of $2O million industry. But, he said, q like to think of flowers as something more than just another industry.
 "They are really symbols of peace and beauty that give us daily courage, that ease the tensions of critical times.
 'They are delicate, yet resource ful.
 ''The handsome red rose that now graces the White House gar- den (just planted) offers simple yet practical-guide for living. And the lesson applies to individ- uals as we'll as nations.
 1t blooms only because it is tenacious. Yet it thrives on tender care.
 "It is like our freedom: Sweet, serene-and precious.
 "Tactfully scured by its beauty, but ever present, are its thorns to guard against abuse"
 Also, in the same issue, are re- corded remarks of Rep. Wilson of Indiana on spending for welfare schemes and defense spending. He said "I think America will back a program of accelerated defense spending. But, he said, the Nation is not going to endorse, at the same time, all the spending schemes that can be matched in the fertile minds of Washington bureaucrats.
 Wilson said: ''I have asked the President Gin letter. to drastic ally curtail domestic spending leg islation in favor of military pre- paredness programs. I have urged the President to scrap his aid-to- education bill, his Peace Corps measure, much of his costly for eign aid programs, and some of the more expensive provisions of the farm program, at least for this session of the Congress, to get this nation ready to meet the threat of conflict"
 Never wait more than three years before attempting to collect from the government for over-pay- ment of income tax. This we also learned from the Congressional Record.
 A bill to refund money to claim ants-man and wife-for overpay- ment of income tax for 1853. The prepayment resulted from the fact that the taxpayers received a dividend of $15, ,293 50 in January, 1854, and enormously included the dividend in their income tax re- turn for 1853. They also included the same dividend in their income tax return for 1854.
 The taxpayers did not discover their mistake until 1858, after the
Kodiak mirror., 1961-08-11

end of the Swear period allowed by law for claiming a refund. Needless to say, the claimants were denied relief. So, if you've made any big mistakes like that, remember the Swear period.
 By the time a man get smart enough to watch his step, he's us- ually too old to go anywhere.
 A husband is merely a figure head in the family-and man, how he has to figure nowadays.
 
 There is reason why hubby knows all the answers - he has been listening for years.
