The Civil Service Commission
sees a threat to the financial
stability of the civil service re-
tirement system in the move to
apply it to additional groups Of
employees.
The Defense Department next
year Is expected to push legis-
lation to place the National
Guards $4,000 Army and Air
Force technicians under the
civil service retirement system.
Last year 10000 Agriculture
Sterilization county committee
men throughout the country
were brought under the civil
service retirement system, even
though they are not Govern
ment employees. But their sal
aries are paid in part or in full
by Federal grants to the States.
csc officials feel that the
financial stability Of the civil
service retirement system will
be jeapordized If all persons
whose salaries are in part or in
full paid by Federal Govern
ment funds, are made eligible
for civil service retirement
benefits. For example. many
employees of the various States
have their salaries paid at least
in part from Federal grants.
A top CSC official also noted
IF the precedent is established
that any one paid out Of Fed
eral funds is eligible for civil
service retirement benefits, ther
this could also include employe:
of private contractors who
have Government contracts. II
could be argued that these en-
ployes, too, are paid from Fed
eral funds and hence are eligi'

penetrated IS miles into Ka-
ttanga in a police action TO
end the secession. But on SAT-
urday it admitted the Katan-
gans had driven It's soi3.ers
back.
Katanga's makeShift air force
of less than 20 planes, manned
by about 20 hired foreign flyers,
was a major factor.
Despite the councils instrue-
tions to prevent civil war, the
U. N. office in the Congolese
capital Of Leopoldville last July
made known that the U. N.
force would not act to stop
the new coalition central gov
ernment from winning back
Katanga.
Warning to Katanga
Last Thursday it went even
farther. In a report to U. N.
headquarters. officer-in-ch charge
Sture Lniner Of Sweden said
he had warned the Katangans
the U. N. force would shoot
down their military planes if
they kept on bombing central
government troops in Kasai
procince, staging area for the
Katanga invasion.
In the September fighting, a
Katanga jet plane was able to
bomb U. N. troops with i'm
punity because the United Ma
tions had no fighter planes of
its own. Since then it acquired
several jet fighters and bomb
ers and the fighters are now
patrolling the Kaisai-Katanga
border.
Katanga President Noise
Tshombe left Geneva last night
for the Congo after a week of
medical examination. He said
his troops are prepared to Ge-
fend their province against the
invaders and do not need white
mercenaFies.

out them" Mr.. Tshombe de-
clared.

The government announced
Mr.. Nkrumah will make a trial

fort to assure Britain she will

the royal tour will go ahead
unless an attempt is made on
Mr.. Nkrumah's life or there is
any other serious disturbance.
There is a growing press cam
paign in Britain for the visit
to be called off, but Mr.. Sandys
refused to reply when asked
directly whether the Queen still
intends to go through with it.

Mr.. Sandys told newsmen at

He said Mr.. Nkrumah well

Mr.. Sandys was met by For

British High Commissioner Sir

was Chief Inspector Ferguson
Smith of Scotland Yard.
The Government blames the
bombings on the opposition

Force technicians in the Ma
tional Guard are employed by
the various State governments.
However, the money for their
salaries is furnished by the
Federal Government and hence
the move to bring them under
civil service retirement.
The National Guard employees
working in the District of
Columbia are already covered
by civil service retirement. since
all District Government en-
ployes are.
A bill to bring the 35, 900
technicians under civil service
retirement has been sponsored
this year by Representative
Henderson, Democrat of North
Carolina. a member of the
House Civil Service Committee,
The Defense Department is
expected to favor the bill, while
! the Civil Service Commission
opposes it.
Consequently the administra- :
ton - presumably the Budget
Bureau-will have to consider
the conflicting views and come
up with a recommendation on
what the administrations Of
ficial attitude should be.

Commonwealth in 1857.
Il welcome this (Mr.

VISIT" Mr.. Nkrumah said.
Queen Elizabeth heads the
commonwealth. Ghana's 7 mil
lion people are not her subjects
since this is a republic, but
there has been no indication
among them of opposition to
the Queen. But the fear in
Britain is that the Queen or
Prince Philip might become
accidental victims of an act
of violence aimed at Mr..
Nkrumah.
Castle Made Ready
Some British critics also say
her projected visit would seem
to indorse Mr.. Nkrumah's re-
pressive policies, including the
Imprisonment without trial of
his political opponents. Con-
versely. cancellation of the
visit might be interpreted as
a royal slap at his regime.
Such a cancellation would
be unprecedented. But there is
also no precedent for the Queen
to be exposed to danger while
travelling in a British Common
wealth land.

Role in COMO
BY CROSBY S. MOVES


PARIS, Nov. 6.-President
Noise Tshombe of Katanga last
night called on the United Ma
tions to return to a strictly neu-
trail role in the Congo. If this
were done, he predicted. the dis
pute between him and the CEN
tral government at Leopoldville
could be settled quickly.
Mr.. Tshombe charged that
the U. N, in violation Of its
charter, had played an active
role in the recent INVASION of
Katanga by the forces of the
central government. The u. N.
forces in Leopcldyilie had di-
rected the operation, he said.
and supplied transport for the
attacking forces.
The invasion. however, never
amounted to a serious threat,
he said. The central govern
ment troops were quickly put
to flight by the Katanga gen.
darmerie.
Negotiations Possible
IF the United Nations would
now return to the principles of
the charter and return to a
role of strict neutrality there
would be no problem" Mr..
Tshombe said. Negotiations
are always possible. hut we
cannot negotiate under pres

Mr.. Tshombe angrily rejected
a charge by the U. N. command
in Leopoldville that Katanga
aircraft had violated the border
between Katanga and neigh
boring Kaisai Province In the
course of the recent fighting.
The charge was made by DR..
Sture c. Linner of Sweden.
head Of U. N. operations in
the Congo, who accused the
Katangese planes Of fragrant
violations" of the recent cease
fire agreement and threatened
to shoot them down.
''Dr. Linner has never set
foot in Katanga," Mr.. Tshombe
said. Il have never seen him.
He has no idea whatever of
what is really going on in the
country"
The President was inter-
viewed during a stopover in
Paris last night on his way
from Geneva to his capital at
EliSabethville. He had spent
nine days in Geneva under
going a physical checkup. He
repeatedly is suffering from a
liver ailment.
Mr.. Tshombe arrived back in
Elisabethville today and refused
to comment on his health or
on the Congolese political stu
