LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo,
Nov. 27 (AP) The United Ma
tions today announced its Ethi-
opian troops have taken con-
troll of the mutinous town Of
Kindu, where Congolese troops
slaughtered l3 Italian United
Nations airmen.
No details of the takeover
were announced except that
the European population-esti-
mated at 31-iS well and safe.
A message received at U. N.
headquarters said the entire
Kindu civilian population -
African and European-gave
the Ethopians a warm well
come" as they entered the
town.
Since the messacre two weeks
ago, U. N. forces had been con-
fined to the airport, with only
occasional reconnaissance for
avs into the town controlled
by the Congolese troops.
I'VE consider the conditions
are now right for an investiga-
ton of the massacre" said U. N
spokesman George Ivan Smith
Since the message from Kindu
was received only this morning
however, he was unable to in
dicate exactly what action the
U. N. now plans to take.

disarm the Kindu garrison and
left it up to the Congolese gov
ernment to punish the troops
responsible for the murder Of
the Italians. Congo Premier
Cyrille Adoula had told DR..
Linner only about. 200 of the
1000 men in the Kindu gar
rison were implicated in the
massacre and his government
knew who they we're.
Mr.. Smith said the brief re-
port from Kindu did not say
how many Congolese soldiers
were left in the town, but that
U. N. officials believe many of
the garrison are still there.
Some reports from Kindu said
most of the troops guilty of the
massacre had headed south in
to the bush.
The U. N. force at Kindu is
estimated at 800, including
about 600 Ethiopians and the
rest MalayanS.
DR.. Linner asked the central
government to consider bring
ing the troops responsible for
the outrage to Leopoldville for
interrogation and punishment.
The government has not COM
mitted itself to any plan of
action, although it has pub
licly and privately insisted it
is determined to carry through
with strict punishment of the
guilty troops.
