a clerk in the store under the apart
ment where she lived.
The victim was shot in the head
some time between 1920 and 1890
a. m. by an unknown assailant,
who escaped with $47.98 from the
cash register. There were no
witnesses to the shooting.
Mary Hills, 80, discovered Mrs.
Chevis' body behind the cash coun-
ter on the floor.
She had come in to make pur-
chase, seen no clerk, and waited
about five minutes.
When she noticed the cash re-
gister drawer open, she became
suspicious and looked over the
counter. She summoned police, but
Mrs. Chevis was dead when Of
ficers arrived.
Homicide Inspectors found a
San Diego address and phone
number in her effects. Newsmen
in Oakland put in a call and found
it was the home of the great box
ing champion, Archie Moore.
Moore, when informed of the
tragedy was obviously upset. He
told the newsmen that Mrs. Chevis
was the daughter of his mothers
sister. Moore said that he would
come to Oakland Immediately to
make arrangements for the funeral.
Allen Chevis, husband of the de-
ceased, a cook for the Southern
Pacific Railroad, was ont on the
read when the shooting occurred.

the main address.
Several prominent heads of the

The convention was enthusiast
tically endorsed by DIR. Jackson.
The endorsement was written by
DR.. w. Herbert Brewster, in a sub
sequent evening meeting.
DIR. Punches Lauded
DR.. Primrose is one of the few
remaining leaders of the depart
ments who has a seniority of more
than a quarter of a century in I'M
broken, full time service, in the
conventions service. She served,
with vigor, under the late DIR. l..

She continued through the ad-

She has served with unparalleled
success on the Foreign Mission
board, bringing hundreds of thou

no means a Communist.
Now, however, the cooperation
of the Gizenga camp in the new
government has left the Commun-
lists somewhat out on a limb and
it remains to be seen whether they
now will transfer recognition to the
new central government, which if
it hangs together they have little
apparent hope of subverting.
Clearly the Soviets attached con-
siderable importance to their Congo
campaign. This is borne out by
their subsequent fury with the UN
for blocking Soviet aims. 1t was
the Congo after all which precipi-
tated Soviet Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev's onslaught on UN
Secretary General Dag Hammarsk-
jed and which is behind the Soviet
"troika" plan for the UN Secre-
tariat
For the Soviets their apparent
setback in the Congo must be a
doubly bitter one. Not only have
they failed to make the Congo a
sphere of Communist influence but
they failed because of the presence
of the UN which is so irritating to
them.
Thus if formation of the new
national Congolese Government is
a defeat for Soviets it is a victory
for the UN in its bid to keep the
cold war and thus Soviet at arms
length in the Congo.
For months the UN has been
SHIPPED at and criticized and charged
with bumbling and indecision and
has taken a steady battering. But
now there is a smile of victory On
UN faces here. Swedish chief of
UN civilian operations, Sture Lin
ner, says the new government
means a happy day for the Congo
and new chapter in UN activities.
CDR. Inner the Associated
Fress reported-told newsmen any
military move by the Congolese
Government to recover breakaway
Katanga Province would be con-
sidered a police action and would
not be opposed by UN forces.
CDR. Inner pledged help in
training a Congolese Army. He
said that with a new government
in operation the UN could grad
ually withdraw its military force
and turn to technical assistance
for the young republic.)
With a general assembly session
looming next month, the emergence
of new central government is
victory which men have little in
tention of letting get away from
them. Neither the UN administra-
ton nor the Congo nation can af-
ford to go before that session with
an air Of defeat and lingering
chaos.
The Congo operation is expens-
i've on the military side and needs
much more money for economic as
sistance, but unless there is some
indication of returning stability to
the Congo, there will likely be little
sympathy in the General Assembly
for continued and even increased
spending.
Thus the new government is one
which the UN will be constantly
nudging and nursing to prevent
its breakdown.

Washington
Football Team
May Draft
Negro Players

Washington - Owner George
Preston Marshall of the Washing
ton Redskins promised today to
draft Negro players IF given an
opportunity promise which ap-
parently settled the feud between
the volatile club owner and Interior
Secretary Stewart l. Udall.
Udall had threatened to prevent
the Redskins from playing in the
new District of Columbia Stadium
next fall unless Marshall lifted an
alleged ban against Negro play
ers.
But Marshall, in q letter to Ma
tional Football League Commits
sioner Pete Rozelle, not only said
he would draft Negroes but even
listed two of them as his first
and second choices for 1862. The
letter denied the team ever had dis
eliminated against Negroes.
Marshall, whose team is the only
one in the NIL which has never
hired a Negro, said halfbacks Ernie
Davis of Syracuse and Larry Fer
guson of Iowa would be his first
two draft selections for the 1862
season.
There are other fine football
players who would be subse-
quent choices to the aforemen-
toned" Marshall wrote Rozelle.
''They are Wilburn Hollis, defen-
sive hack from Iowa; FELTON, Rog-
ers. defensive end from the same
college, and Ron Hatcher, fulIback
from Michigan State"
'T can assure you that If any of
these names are still on the board
lat the annual NFL draft meet
ing), l shall be glad to select
them," Marshall added.
Udall, who met with Rozelle
here recently, promptly hailed the
commissioner for his "construc-
tive action" in mediating the Mar
shall-Interior Department battle.
'The Kennedy administration is
determined that every American
should have a full and equal OPP
portunity to utilize his or her tai
ents in the classroom, in industry,
on the playing field and in all
areas of our national life" Udall
said.

Diplomats Expelled
Like many powers, the Soviets
were caught unawares by upheaval
in the Congo within days of indie
pendence last year. But they re
acted swiftly. They shipped in
trucks, flew in Ilyushin planes, and
soon there were 400 Soviet and
eight Czechoslovak "technicians" in
the country.
Within a short while the Soviet
delegation in Leopoldville included
seven diplomats speaking Lingala,
one of the principal African Ian
guages in the Congo. 1t is doubt
full whether today any Western
diplomat is fluent in this tongue.
However, the Communists lost
their base III Leopoldville when the
young Congolese Army command
er, Gen. Joseph Mobuto, closed the
Soviet and Czech embassies and
expelled their diplomats. Then
the Communists transferred their
recognition to the Gizenga regime
in Stanleyville, where a few weeks
ago they established an embassy
of eight men under the charge of
Leonild Pogorncv, who formerly
was in Leopoldville.
In the intervening months a
number of diplomats and observers
have been anxious to dispel the idea
Of the Gizenga regime as out and
out Communist sympathizing. Mr..

Wednesday two ladies thought they
would "ride" Montana's political
tiger, the Board of Examiners, about
the firing of Burl Hatfield, the labor
trouble maker at the Galen Tubercu-
losis Sanitarium. Mrs. Hubert Bell,
Kalispell, president of the Montana
Federation of Women's Clubs, and
Mrs. Ernie Meath, Helena, wife of
the newly hired Highway Department
public relations assistant, started to
tell the Examiners what they thought
about Hatfield.
About Hatfield they were told
(off) by the Examiners.
The abolishing of the post of bust
ness manager at the hospital was just
formal nicely. DR.. A. G. Knight
will have some high priced clerical
help under some other name-execu-
tive assistant, administrative admin
istrator or something. The ladies had
nothing to fear about the hospital
losing it's accredation or any other
qualm they might have about the
conduct of the affairs of Montana.
The point is that Hatfield was fired
at the last meeting and that was that.
