The U. N. has been trying

the return of its troops to
Matadi, the Congo's chief port

Mr.. Nkrumah has rejected
the agreement of the Congo's
anti Communist political lead
ers at their recent conference
on Madagascar to form a con-
federation Of semi-autonomouS
states. The Ghana president,
along with the Communist bloc,
contends that the Stanleyville
regime headed by Antoine Gil
zenga is the only legal gov
ernment in the Congo and that
President Joseph Kasavubu
should no longer be recognized
as chief of state because he
agreed to become head of the
new confederation.
Certain African and Asian
nations have tried to sabotage
the work we have done to
reach a solution to our politi-
cal difficulties" Mr.. leo said.

He added that contacts are
continuing with the Gizenga
regime for a settlement of diff

Stanleyville has yet been set.
See No Civil Danger
Mr.. Ileo said the Security
Council resolution of February
81, authorizing the use of force
by U. N. troops in the Congo
to prevent civil war, has been
ofertaken by events within the
