Clarence Logan, chairman of
the group, said he had been in

upheavals following Congo in

to help organize the rebellion
against the Tshombe regime.

Gu|Iion' 'sPart
In Congo Pact
BY the Associated Press

The United States says
Katanga Presto d ent Moishe
Tshombe's charges of interfer-
ence against United States Am
baSsador Edmund A. Gullion
are untrue and may be propa-
ganda to justify a reputation
of the Congo peace agreement.
In a telegram to President
Kennedy, Mr.. Tshombe accused
Mr.. Gullion Of interfering in
the Congo talks and Of urging
the United Nations to resume
military action against Ka-
tanga.
At a news conference yester-
day, State Department Press
Officer Lincoln White read a
reply that he said was being
issued with the full knowledge
of Mr.. Kennedy.
The State Department state
ment reaffirmed United States
confidence in Mr.. Gullion and
called on Mr.. Tshombe to carry
out the agreement made De-
cember 81 at Kitona between
himself and Congo Prime Min
lister Cyrille Adoula to put
breakaway Katanga back in the
Congo.
Involvement Explained
The United States statement
said in part:
"Katanga Provincial President
Moishe Tshombe has addressed
a telegram to this Government
in which he repeats a charge
made in Brussels today by
Evariste Kimba. one OF his
ministers, that United States
Ambassador Gullion interfered
in talks at Kitona in which Mr..
Tshombe agreed to end Ka-
tangan secession from the
Congo.
"Mr. Tshombe also accuses
Ambassador Gullion Of urging
the United Nation to resume
military action against Ka-
tanga and makes several other
allegations.
"All these charges are untrue.
Ambassador Gullion was in
volved in the Kitona talks be-
cause Mr.. Tshombe appealed to
President Kennedy to help halt
the fighting in Katanga and
arrange meeting between Mr..
TShombe and Prime Minister
Adoula.
Because Mr.. Tshombe asked
for an American guarantee Of
his personal security in addi-
ton to guarantees given by the
United Nations, the Ambassador
escorted Mr.. Tshombe to and
from Kitona and remained
there during the talks.
"At no time did Ambassador
Gullion interfere in the
negotiations.
COmprOmiSeS on Both Sides
HE was consulted by both
parties and encouraged them to
reach an accord.
THE agreement was freely
reached after substantial COM
promises by both conferees and
was personally signed by Mr..
Tshombe.
The charge that AmbaSsa-
dor Gullion has urged further
U. N. military action against
Katanga is absurd.
"On the contrary. the Am
bassador and the department
have sought to promote an
atmosphere of conciliation. e.
I'VE hope that false charges
against Ambassador Gullion
are not part of a propaganda
campaign designed to Justify
denunciation of the Kitona
agreement.
"Mr. Tshombe has a great
opportunity to contribute to
the future peace and stability
of Katanga and the Congo.
I'VE earnestly hope he will
seize this opportunity and will
move promptly to carry out
the Kitona agreement so a
start can be made with the
rehabilitation of Katanga and
its peaceful refrigeration into
the Congo. :"

Il 1859 because | believe there is increasing evil
dence pointing to the existence of this kind of un
known animal in the deep oceans. Whether they
be ''serpents" don't know but intend to continue
fishing for them.
Why does a scientist in this Space Age look down
into the sea instead of up into the heavens? And
why does an oceanographer probe the mysteries OF
the deep with fishing tackle?
By learning how life has been able to survive
millions of years in an environment where there is
no light, where the temperature is just above
freezing and food is at minimum, we may learn
things to help us survive in world of diminishing
food supply. What's more, water is probably the
ideal shield against radiation.

allegedly extinct giant serpent was no sPur-o-

1t took me several days in the ships machine

reason for sailing the expedition. My special
assignment was to obtain from the three-mile deep
ocean floor Neopilina, tiny mollusk thought ex-
tinct since the Paeozoc Age. We did dredge up this
rare specimen, similar to the famous Danish Neo-
pina captured from the Costa Rican depths for the
first time in 1852 Its existence, after 800 million

As nervously awaited for what could be historys

in the possibility of serpents. 1t was Dr. Bruun
who amazed the scientific world with his discovery
on the Dana Expedition off the coast of Africa in
1890 of giant larva baby - eel six feet long.
This creature had $50 vertebra plates, whereas the
longest eels we know have only los plates.
Six feet is a monstrous size in arval stage OF
development for any animal. Since in European
eels the larva is l8th the size of the adult, this
leads to the conjecture that the fullgrOwn animal
could be anywhere from 70 to 90 feet long. 90
