u. N. War in Congo Called IndefensibIe;
US. Support Blamed on Faulty Advisers

complicated, but the essen
tials are clear. The United
Nations under the spur of
Soviet and neutralist pres
sure is attempting to force
Katanga, the only strongly
anti-CommuniSt state in the
Congo, into the Central Congo
Government. This Central
Government is not Commu-
mist. And unquestionably it
needs Katanga, as the Congo
as a whole needs a unified
government.
1t is true, too, that unless
a unified and decent govern
ment can be arranged, there
will be room in the Congo for
much trouble -making, prim-
arily by the Soviet Union.
But this effort to "pacify" a
situation by using bombs and
troops against one hold-out
while building up the dis
ruptive forces among the
pro-Communists-is surely
self-defeating.
For every candid person
who is aware of the realities
will acknowledge this: While
the U. N. is quite prepared to
crush Katanga's rebellious
head, Noise Tshombe, it new
er will be ready to crush an
other trouble making second
airy leader, the pro-Commun-
iSt Antoine Gizenga. Soviet
vetoes in the U. N. will see to
it-and this the whole diplo-
matte world already knows
that the Gizengas are never
touched by U. N. forces.
Moreover, those who object
to what the U. N. is doing
in the Congo are not all
bad old conservatives" and
right-wingers" and anti
U. N. people" The true leader
against this action is a So
cialist, a founding father Of
the u. N. former President
of the U. NJ, a former Sec
retary General of the West

WILLIAM S. WHITE

Unless President Kennedy's
conciliation effort is success
full, a new American tragedy
looms over our policy in
Africa.
Unwise advisers had
caused President Kennedy to
support an indefensible
United Nations war against
the Congo province of Ka-
tanga. 1t is an attack which
in simple truth is wholly
satisfactory only to our So
Wet enemies and their neu-
tralist friends.
1t is an attack which-be-
cause of our part in its
shaking the Western Alliance
to its core, as any man here
with any contact with Allied
diplomats can easily see. AL
ready it has put us publicly
at odds with the British, the
French and the Belgians-
and this at a time of deSper-
ate need for maximum
Western unity against the
unresolved Soviet menace to
Berlin.
1t is an attack that is
deeply troubling the Ameri-
can people and press, if a
columnist's mail and CONVEX
sations have any evidential
meaning at all.
1t is an attack that is
deeply troubling many of the
Presidents best friends. These
are quiet but genuine friends
who do not wish to see him
and more importantly, this
country-pay the immense
price that may have to be
paid for this ill-advised ad-
venture by diplomatic ad-
visers so obsessed with court
ing African opinion that they
are prepared to risk HIS all.
They are honorable men;
they are also profoundly
wrong.

no matter how low produc-
ton itself might fall. Profits
may 60 down later, but wages

In the light Of such condi-
tions, the latest statement by
the Secretary of Labor is
germane to the discussion.
Writing to the Washington
Post, he said that, since that
paper had interpreted his
own speeches and comments
at the AFL-CIO convention
as giving strong support to
the Presidents policy on
wages and prices while the
New York Times had con-
Strued his speech "aS taking
a soft line toward that policy,
some words of Qualification
are required" He added:
Il want to make it very
plain, as I have repeatedly
said to labor and to manage
ment groups. that we in this
country must do everything
within our power to prevent
initiation and maintain price
stability. Since we do not
want wage and price controls
imposed in our free economic
system, it requires responsible
collective bargaining to
achieve this.
Every economist believes
that economic gains for both
labor and management must
be earned by increases in pro-
ductivity. This means that
these gains should be shared
by the workers, the owners
and the public. Within the
framework of our potential
national productivity, all
three can benefit.
Further. we must keep
competitive in world markets
and keep our money sound.
This means that we cannot

DORIS FLEESON

Republican Party leader
ship is pulling away from
association with the extreme
right and Identification with
its issues. What has been
before a rather passive atti-
tude is still far from militant,
but silence no longer gives
consent to assumptions that
the right-wingers can and
will work within the Repub-
lican Party.
With great promptness
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen of Illinois disavowed
his sponsorship of an Amer
ican Committee for Aid 10
Katangan Freedom Fighters.
The listing of his name, he
said politely, was a misun-
derstanding.
The Senator's associates
on that committee would
have been many prominent
Spokesmen for right wing
causes and attitudes. The use
of his name caused a trem-
or here in political circles
which are fully aware that
the Congo question is very
sticky and not likely to be
resolved soon. 1t still may
reach the floor of Congress
in some form, but its i'm
pact is materially lessened
by the DirkSen statement.
At the same time National
Chairman Miller has said he
was miSquoted in a Jackson
Miss dispatch which de-
scribed him as saying that
Senator Barry Goldwater, the
Arizona conservative, was the
party's leading candidate for
the Presidency in 1864. 1t
seems that he only meant
to say that Senator Goldwater
leads in the South or maybe
Just Mississippi.
1t is doubtless true that
Senator Goldwater does lead
the Republican hit parade
in the South. This is part
of his problem as a candi-
date for President of all so
States. and it Symbolizes
also the party's dilemma in
. trying to build effective Or
ganizations in the South.
1t has never really faced
up to the problem of organ
izing the South without Of
Tending the great industrial
States. Instead. it has cap
italized on personalities where
it could and exploited the
feudS of Southern Democrats.
Perhaps it was the best
system that could be devised,
but the results were spor-
adic. Former President Els
enhower twice did we'll, but
Richard Nixon who sought to
emulate the Eisenhower
landneS on emotion
charged issues, failed.
Mr.. Nixon has been re-
ported as saying he would
not try the same strategy
in another presidential race.
He also is a prime mover
in the drive to disassociate
the party from the extreme
right.
1t is often argued that had
President Eisenhower been
willing to be a strong leader
of his party, he could have
done much to build it in
the South. This is academic
now, and there is no present
reservoir of patronage and
power available to Republi-
cans nationally to do the job.

the stumbling block. Negroes
