would have found the city, a Luz
mumba stronghold, incensed and
inflamed by the treatment of its
captive leader and in little mood
for the negotiation which the UN
mission seeks.
(But instead of going to STAN
leyville, the mission announced
plans to try to see Mr.. Lumumba
in his latest place Of imprison-
ment in Kantanga Province. Jaja
Wachuku, Nigerian chairman of
the mission, was quoted by Reuters
as saying in Leopoldville Wednes-
day that his group would search
out Mr.. Lumumba wherever he
may be-"
Tin Elisabethville, capital of Ka-
tanga, the head of the local UN
mission, Ian Berendsen, asked pro-
vincial Premier Noise Tshombe to
contact the Red Cross or a similar
organization to ensure that Mr..
Lumumba receives correct treat
ment.
"a UN spokesman in Leopold
vile confirmed that Mr.. Lumumba
showed signs of having been "some
what roughly treated" during his
transfer to Katanga.)
If Col. Joseph Mobutu had
planned to sabotage attempts to
bring Congolese leaders together,
he hardly could have timed Mr.. Lu-
mumba's transfer from the prison
outside Leopoldville to the prison
in Katanga more meticulously.
With the circumstances of Mr..
Lumumba's transfer and assault
now clearer, there are number
of pointed questions likely to be
asked. AS in a string of earlier
instances involving assault, for
example, troops of the UN forces
stood aloof while Mr.. Lumumba
was beaten up. Is this really the
correct Interpretation of their or
ders-to stand on one side during
the beating of leading Conogolese
politician which is liable to provoke
widespread tension throughout the
country?
Then there is the role of those
white gendarmes" whom the eye
witnessing Swedish troops of the
UN force linked with the African
gendarmes who dubbed and bat
tered the bound Lumumba and his
two supporters while they lay on
the ground. Katanga's President
Tshombe is using Belgian officers
for his troops and police, and if
white gendarmes were present the
suspicion will be strong that they
were Belgian nationals - again
complicating and confusing an al
ready explosive situation.
But even if basic humanitarian
instincts could not prevent Mr..
Lumumba's treatment at Elisa
bethville, one might think that
cooler heads would have sensed
the implications of what now ap-
pears to be a fantastic political
blunder.
On one hand, the events, Of
ElisabethviIle undoubtedly will an
ger pro-Lumumba forces within
the Congo itself. The reaction of
other non-white states which have
been backing Mr.. Lumumba is not
difficult to imagine.
With feeling in the Lumumba
camp inflamed against them, the
prospect of Mr.. Kasavubu and
Colonel Mobutu gaining national
control of the country seems re-
mote, and they appear still on the
same road to political eclipse which
they have been travelling for some
days.
Meanwhile, if Mr.. Lumumba
should be killed while under Ka-

Thus for the rulers of Katanga,
Mr.. Lumumba's naturalization per-

to be seen, however, whether this
may not turn out to be victory

Perso onaliz d service is
stressed by Mr.. Robert Norton,

whether the accommodations
are satisfactory, often person

cepted the position as q chal-
lenge and now feels it was well
worth the try.
At first it was difficult for
people to realize there was no
extra charge for personalized
service, but the response from
individuals and industry by now
has necessitated another girl
to provide even better service.
She is Miss Van Camp, who
worked for Eastern Airlines
three years, before employment
by Euclid Travel.
In addition to industrial and
individual trips, the Travel
Bureau caters to honeymooners,
bachelor tours, etc. During the
winter months many tours are
scheduled to warmer climes,
Florida, California, Hawaii,
Mexico and Caribbean cruiSes. !

visas and accommodations
whether folks are visiting rela-
tives or sightseeing. While
Russia has more open cities
than formerly, when one goes
there, the traveller registers at
the nearest open city and the
natives arrange to join him.
TIL longest trip the Travel
Bureau has arranged was $4,000
miles for a business man via
South America, Australia, Ha-
waii, the Far East and return
by the European route.
Rosemarie advises youngl
ladies not to take a trip merely
to look for a husband, rather
to enjoy the sightseeing, al
though both sexes when they
return often tell her of ro-
mances while on tour.

He said he wanted to give
them four library brooks, but
they made him go along to
the station house, where he was
told bail was 500.
Mr.. Washington said he and
five others who couldn't raise
bail money were put in a cell
with a man who had been ar
rested for being drunk and dis
orderly.
The unprecedented arrests
were the first under an Or
dinance adopted by the East
Orange City Council last Sep
tember in which library patrons
could be fined up to 5000 and
given Jail sentences for failure
to return books.
Harold Roth, director of the
library, said the chief offenders
yesterday had kept books from
four months to a year.
Magistrate Wilkins said he
imposed the fines and sent
the one person to Jail not be-
cause the books were overdue
but because public authority
had been defied.
