Firing Starts
Panic Exodus
From Capital
CosueIties Reported
On Both Sides;
Ambush Charged
BY JOHN LATZ
Associated Press Staff Writer

ELISABETHVILLE, Katan-
ga. Dec. S (AP) Heavy fight
ing broke out in several sectors
of Elisabethville between United
Nations and Katanga troops
today and both sides suffered
casualties.
The U. N. charged that
Katangans attempted a we'll
prepared ambush on U. N.
headquarters. Katangan lead
ers charged that the U. N.
opened fire with heavy weapons
on lightly armed Katangans.
The sound of mortar and
other firing from several di-
rections started a panic exodus
of civilians from this capital
of secessionist Katanga Prov
ince.
(U. N. headquarters in Leo
poldville said two foreign mer-
cenaries were killed in one
action and 38 Katangan police
and paratrooper commandos
were killed in a fight at a road
block between Elisabethville
airport and the town.
CDR. Sture Linner. head Of
the U. N. in the Congo, said
Acting Secretary General U
Thant had given unlimited au-
thority to restore order in the
secessionist province. Mr.. Thant
ordered jet fighters flown to
Elisabethville.)
Casualties Listed
The U. N. reported one killed
and two wounded among its
forces at the airport.
Katanga Foreign Minister
Evariste Kimba, ranking Of
ficial in the absence of Pres
ident Noise Tshombe, listed
nine wounded on his side in the
early fighting.
After the widespread fight
ing died down to sporadic
shooting. Brian Urquhart. spe-
cial U. N. political adviser mere.
said two foreign mercenaries
were killed by tough Gurkha
Indian troops. He charged
the Katangans had prepared
an ambush of U. N. head
quarters.
Observers said a path was
cleared through a roadblock
on the road to the airport, the
chief area of fighting.
1T was a splendidly prepared
ambush" said Mr.. Urquhart
of the Katangan positions near
headquarters. The Katangans
dug themselves in" he said, but
the Curkha troops cleared up"
the position.
Not Localized Action
I'VE have been ambushed and
shot at all over" he declared,
so that it was not possible to
regard the fighting as a local
lied action.
Gurkhas approaching the
airport roadblock, he added,
were attacked with mortar and
small arms fire"
Mr.. Kimba declared "Ka-
tanga will fight and defend
itself"
Mr.. Kimba asserted later in
a radio address that his gov
ernment has the situation well
in hand"
I'VE are in charge of the city
of Elizabethville," he declared.
Contrary to U. N. reports that
all Katangan ministers also
had fled, Mr.. Kimba held a

9th Day Of Strike
Against BoIoguer

sANTo DOMINGO, Dec. s
(AP.-Firing broke out in this
capital of the Dominican Re-
public again today as police
clashed with rowing mobs on
the eighth day of a general
strike against the government.
There were no immediate re-
ports of casualties.
Government employees in
large numbers returned to work
in Santo Domingo after a new
warning from the government
that they would be fired unless
they were back at their jobs by
noon tomorrow. Many shops
in the poorer sections of town
reopened. but the main busi-
ness districts were shut tight.
Hundreds. of demonstrators
chanted for a continuation Of
the strike.
Santiago Warning Sounded
Travellers returning from
Santiago and the Cibao Valley
in the north central area said
the strike aimed at the custer
of President Joaquin Balaguer
was even more effective there
than it has been in the capital.
The said employe groups in
Santiago have threatened to
resign en- masse if the govern
ment takes any action to pc
nalize shopkeepers refusing to
open.
The main political opposition
groups are reported unyielding
in their demand that Mr.. Bala-
guer resign to make way for
a provisional regime purged Of
Trujillo holdovers.
Mob Violence Averted
Angry anti government
crowds yesterday stood off a
band CT about 20 hoodlums
seeking to whip UP mob violence
against the strike.
The ragged ruffians, led by
two uniformed policemen and
an Air Force officer with a
machine gun, we're all that re-
sponded to army appeals to
residents of Santo Domingo's
slums to rise against the strik-
ing shopkeepers and loot their
stores.
At least five persons were
wounded by fragments from
noise bombs hurled at the mobs
Another man was shot in the
thigh and a shopkeeper was
beaten by the toughs.
The armed forces had with
drawn all troops from riot duty
! in the capital and soldiers with
loudspeakers toured the slum
sections inviting the populace
to break into shuttered stores.
Rocks and Slingshots Used
The small band which re-
Sponded was met by a huge
anti-government crowd who
battled the club-wielding ter
rorists with rocks and sling
shots.
The riot troops moved back
into the city in large numbers
as the sundown curfew ap-
preached, and the mobs scat
tered. Late last night some
explosions were heard in va
rious parts of the city but these
were believed to have been
caused by detonation bombs
usually heard late at night.
Reporter Camerman John
Hlavacek of the National
Broadcasting Co. was clubbed
by some of the toughs in the
club-swinging melee but he
was not seriously hurt.
The two policemen leading
the mob fired toward a taxicab
carrying Associated Press Cor
respondents Robert Berrellez
and Bernard Diedrich and
Richard Valeriana of NBC but
no one was hurt.

approval of his task force pro-
poSals on setting up formal
labor-management relations in
Government.
The task force proposals call
for formalized dealings be-

mel policies and grievances.
1t also calls for giving non-
veteran employees rights of ap-
peal to the Civil Service Com
mission from adverse agency
actions, the same as are now
enjoyed by veterans.
All these can be achieved by
a presidential executive order.
Mr.. Kennedy announced late
yesterday, several hours after
the task force report had been
released at the White House,
that he approved the proposals
and would issue the executive
order embodying them by the
end of the month.
Check-off Legislation
The task force, headed by
Labor Secretary Goldberg, also
advocated a voluntary union
dues checkoff system, but this
will require legislation. Presum-
ably, Mr.. Kennedy will rec
ommend such legislation to
Congress.
The task force recommended
against arbitration procedures
in unresolved disputes be-
tween unions and agencies in
volving working conditions or
personnel policies.
However, it did propose ad-
vlsory arbitration in cases of
individual employe grievances
where unions have exclusive
recognition.
The ia SIX force proposed
three types of recognition for
the Government unions - in
formal, formal and exclusive.
, INFORMAL. Groups with a
membership of less than 10 per
cent of the eligible members in
a unit. This gives the group the
right to be heard but does not
require that the agency seek
out its views or devote consid-
cradle time to them.
FORMAL. Groups with 10
per cent or more of the eligible
members in unit. This gives
the group the right to be con-
suited on matters of interest
to its members.
EXCLUSIVE. Any organiza-
ton chosen by a majority of
the employees in a unit. This
gives the group the right to
negotiate with management
officials on an agreement ap-
plicable to all employees of the
unit. The agreements will be
written.
However. such agreements
must not conflict with existing
Federal laws or regulations,
agency regulations. Govern
ment-wide personnel policies or
with the authority of Congress
over such matters as postal and
classified employe pay, fringe
benefits and overtime.
Formal recognition of en-
ploye unions at the national
level may be granted by the
head of an agency without re-
gard to the ~ per cent mini
mum membership requirement. .
A department and agency can
give this formal recognition at
the national level to those Or
ganizations which, in the opin-
ion of the department head,
have a sufficient number of To-

HEMPSTEAD, N. Y, June q
(AP) Panic selling by white
persons in an integrated Sec
ton of the Lake View Com
munity has led to a campaign
by Negro residents to keep the
area from becoming predomi-
nantly Negro.
One of the first Negroes to
move into the area, Lincoln
Lynch, said the campaign was
designed to stop panic selling
and to alert Negroes that il
they continue to buy in the
neighborhood they run the risk
of creating a segregated situa-
tion.
Mr.. Lynch said Negroes are
being urged not to buy homes
in the section so that the COM
munity can be stabilized at its
present ratio of about eight
white residents to each Negro.
He said about 40 white fam
lilies in the community of $50
to 200 residents have offered
their homes for sale because of
the increase in Negro popula-
ton. The homes cost from
$4,000 to $25, 900.

penetrating analysis of formal

range of keyboard color that
seems to be available to him is
distinctly limited.
1t would follow that the Faure
variations contained the best
playing Of the evening. The
paralleliSms between variations
w and v, and I and II (as-
suming that I kept my count
straight) we're nicely brought
out, and elsewhere there was
playing of great rhythmic gra-
ciouSnesS.
But Mr.. Ranck's approach
was highly successful else
where. Debussy's Preludes are
atmospheric, coloristic pieces
to be sure, but at the same
time they are little formal
masterpieces, and it was good
to be reminded of this. The
last Of Mr.. Ranck's group, how
ever, Feux d'artifice, is close to
a trick piece. and here I
thought the playing was less
convincing. There were some
technical troubles here, Incl
dentally, as indeed there were
on other occasions during the
program, but they were hardly
of sufficient magnitude to be
distressing.
Poulenc'S group of short
pieces poses a special problem.
They are written versions of
improvisationS intended to de-
lineate real people, and bear
titles like "Carefree but Dis
Greet" Satisfied with Him
self, and so on.
Poulenc is an irreverent COM
poser who delights in the in
Simultaneous transformation of
Schumannesque grandeur to a

tracery to a cafe waltz. Mr..
Ranck seems a bit serious for
this sort of thing, be it irony

emphasize other aspects of the
music. AS a matter of fact the
