.U.N. Force Tokes Over
At Kotongo AirfieId
EITSABETHVILLE, Katanga,

EIHSABETHVILLE, Katanga
April 5 (AP).-Irish troop!
took control of Elisabethville
Airport today. A United Ma
tions source reported President
Noise Tshombe has backed
down from his threatening
anti-U. N. position.
The U. N. military chief ir
the Congo, Gen. Sean Nc.
Keown of Ireland, warned
Tshombe that Indian troops
would be brought into Elisa
bethville if there were further
attempts to interfere with U. N
operations at the airport, the
source reported.
An advance guard of the
Irish U. N. troops was flown
into Elisabethville early today
to hold the airport until the
arrival of Indian Gurk-
has. SecesSionist strongman
TShombe opposes the dispatch
of Indian troops to his prov
ince.
The airport guard of Swedish
U. N. troops, attacked yester-
day by a rampaging mob in
cited by Tshombe, retired to its
camp on the outskirts of Elisa
bethville as the Irish took over,
Gen. McKeown had a two
hour meeting with Tshombe at
the presidential residence. The
U. N. informant said Tshombe
agreed to reScind all sanctions
he had ordered against U. N
personnel. The source added
that the U. N. force would con-
tinue to operate in Katanga,
alongside Katanga authorities.
The Irish vanguard num-
bered $50 troops. heavily armed
and in full battle dress. Five
hundred more were expected to
follow quickly.
Tshombe had ordered the en-
tire population to join in gen
eral sabotage" against the
United Nations and had told
traders not to deal with the
u N. He cut off water and
electricity to U. N. establish
mentS. These were the sane
tions he now apparently is
resembling. Tshombe was re-
ported to have told Gen. Nc
Keown. however, that the sane
tions had been suppressed but
not lifted"
Joint Airport Control
The informant added that
Tshombe agreed U. N. per-
sonnel should have free move
ment in the capital and that
the airport should be under
Joint control Of U. N. units and
Katanga police. Gen. Nc
Keown was said to have agreed
to this but to have stipulated
that the newly arrived Irish
force would remain in or near
the airport at all times.
Katanga government officials
apparently were unaware of the
arrival of the Irish until it was
too late to try to prevent their
landing. AS the first Skymas-
ters and C-l19 flying boxcarS
roared in from the U. N. Ka-
nina base in Western Katanga.
Tshombe was in conference in
Elisabethville with Gen. Nc
Keown.

join with the Russians in an
appeal for a cease fire within
the next two days.
The Russians now have the
British draft of the proposed
de facto cease fire. 1t was be-
lieved to call for a. meeting
under white flag between beln-
gerents at some easily accessi-
BILE area in LaoS-Van Vieng
for example-to arrange a halt
in the fighting.
This would be followed by
dispatch Of an observer of the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Inter-
national Armistice Commission
to see that the agreement is
carried out.
Conference EnviSiOned
Both American and Russian
airlifts of men and arms would
halt simultaneously.
The reasoning here is that
in two or three weeks time an
international conference, as
proposed by Moscow, could be
convened. The armistice COM
mission could report to it or
the cease fire.
An important question would
concern Laotian representation
at such an conference.
Wet Nam is expected to be
represented both by Communist
north and provost south.

Belgium Starts
Congo Pu!!out

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
April 5 (AP).-Belgium has
notified the United Nations that
it is ready to comply immedi-
ately with U. N. resolutions
calling for the withdrawal of
Belgian military personnel from
the Congo.
The news of the Belgian de-
cision was transmitted to U. N.
Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold in note dated April
3 and made public today. The
note said steps already had been
taken to pull out some troops.
The withdrawal of Belgian
forces has been one of the main
issues in the current U. N. de-
bate on the Congo. Asian and
African nations have been
working on a resolution de-
manding that the Belgians get
out within 81 days.
The Belgian. note indicated
that Belgium would assist the
United Nations in trying to get
the Congolese authorities to
release Belgian civilian per-
sonnel, but it said Belgium is
not in a position to order them
out.
Informed quarters disclosed,
meanwhile, that u. N. negotia-
tors already have opened dis
cussions with Congolese Presi-
dent Joseph Kasavubu on the
withdrawal of Belgians en-

Union and Confederate

the Virginia war front have

The hardware firm of

The Katanga president made
clear in a statement that his
purpose was to prevent the ar

whose stationing in Katanga he

Prime Minister Nehru's avowed
opposition to Tshombe.
AS the mob fever mounted,

In addition, it requested 81
million to acquire 275 acres
more at backgrounds at Folt
Donelson, Tenn; $50 at An

In considering the request,

said he wondered IF this isn't

II have been quite concerned
about the emphasis being placed
on these Civil War areas" the
Representative said.
He continued: I'VE now own
over $4,000 acres of battlefields
and the Park Service has been
pushing a plan to buy another
$500 acres at a cost in excess
of SIS million. We have spent
over SO million just at Gettys-
burg during the last 10 years
for land, buildings and SO
forth"
The committeeman, in later
considering budget requests
from the Civil War Centennial
Commission, seemed surprised
to learn that nearly $2.3 mil
lion already has been appro-
priated by "a States for cele-
brations marking the Tooth

I'm what way, sir?" asked
Mr.. Belts.
Another Hurdle
Mr.. Magnuson said spending
this much money, at all levels,
might be questioned consider
ing present budgetary and eco

Even if committeeman do ap-
prove appropriations for ac-

Had His Boundaries
BY JAY CARMODY

Bernard Shaw in quandary.
To tell the truth, this happened yesterday for the
time.

about. the project and let us
know.
I'VE went back to London
to wait. We waited. Then we
waited some more. Finally, I
wrote to him. That was a mis-
take, but it was a decisive one.
1t brought another post card
from Shaw. On this one, he
tersely suggested that we get
out of his life and stay out of
| it,"
Mr.. Haynes, a genial type,
would like to think that Shaw
had concluded that he really
had said or written everything
he had to say. He has never
quite managed this, however.
Looking back upon it, he feels
Shaw may have gone to his
grave thinking of a chap named
Haynes as a ghoulish young
American with an abominable
American notion of getting rich
quick.
THE VISIT: Reminiscing
about Shaw certainly was not
the purpose of Mr.. Haynes
visit to Washington yesterday.
He is involved with the movie,
"Splendor in the Grass" a Will
liam Inge original, which is
scheduled for a non-sneak pre-
view in Washington tonight.
The film, directed by Ella
Kazans- is slice of life which
some students have judged to
be a bit on the gamey side, so
to speak.
Warner Brothers, themselves,
are open-minded on the truth
or falSity of this. Accordingly.
they are setting up one-night
showingS of the picture in Is
cities across the country, the
purpose to get a huge cross Sec
ton of opinion as to the taste
fulness, or vice versa, of Mr..
1nge's more lifelike scenes.
Everyone everywhere who
sees the film tonight will be
asked to be a critic and to
speak right up about whether
the film should go as is, or
otherwise.
Big project, huh?

as Shaw was when Haynes
got to him.
Mr.. Haynes is in movies, has
been for a long time, is now
working for Warner Brothers,
and is still capable of laughing
at the outrageouSness of his
experience with Shaw.
II was very young" Haynes
recalled yesterday at luncheon,
and was living in London at
the time. You know how it is
when you are young. always
looking for ideas that no one
ever had before. Especially
ideas on which there is a pros
pect of an immediate or sub
sequent profit.
The best of these that ever
came to me-or so it seemed at
the time-was to give Shew a
kind of posthumous last word.
Specifically, I thought what a
great thing it would be to make
a film reel to be released after
his death. My idea was to let
him just stand, or sit, in front
of the camera and say any
darned thing that came to
mind. you know something that
hadn't occurred to him while
he still had the time and the
contempt for the rest of us to
say it.
We'll, I wrote a letter to
Shaw telling him what had in
mind. To my surprise, and de-
light, he wrote back on a post
card that this might be an in
teresting something to talk
over. He invited me down to
Ayot St. Lawrence and down I
went.
He was quite pleasant and
received me and my partner
in the project almost affably
His affability cooled a bit
when we got down to the
specifics. These began when
we got down to the sug-
gestion that the film should
open with Shaw saying, This
is Bernard Shaw. I died yester-
day, or say. not long ago and
to my previous remarks, verb
ally and in writing, I would like
to add.
AT this point, I sensed that
Shaw had begun to think
something to the effect that
one day he was going to be
dead and the world would have
to get along without him. He
suddenly seemed dejecte d q,
which was understandable.
Being young and optimistic.
however, I tried to deceive
myself that what really was
occupying him was what he
really wanted to say to us sur
vivors. Naturally, that wasn't
lit. What was bothering him
was the thought that there
would be no more Shaw.
Nevertheless, it turned out
that he was not quite ready
to reject the idea and throw
us both out on our ears. He
asked time to think it over and,
like Lola, what Shaw wanted,
Shaw got. He sent us away,
politely enough, with the prom

How is it, having Mantle and Berra

play either of them" he was asked.
"Damndest thing I ever heard Of"
Houk conceded
ONE OF THE NEWSMEN the funny
type . looked at Houks batting order.
Lopez was in left, Blanchard in rightfield.
This must be the first b squad ever to
play in a World Series" he remarked.
You said that, I didn't" Houk 70
torted. AS it turned out the opinion Dor
dered on the slanderouS. Hector Lopez and
Blanchard were pair Of tigers.
First time up Blanchard homered with
a mate aboard Later he added a double
and an infield single Total: Three runs
scored, two batted in.
Lopez didn't homer on his first trip; he
merely tripled. He saved his home run for
later, along with a single. Hector's sum:
Two runs scored five batted in.
Earlier in the series, specifically, right
after Joey jays 60 win in the second
game, Hutch Dragged on his bench strength
AS things turned out, Houk had more.
JOE LOUIS SOMETIMES had trouble
with an opponent the first time he fought
him. The second time around the Brown
Bomber invariably made short work of the
guy. The Yankees were the same way in
the series.
Jim OToole gave them trouble in the
opener. He pitched we'll enough to win
most games, but the copper's son was duel
ing Ford, who was faShioning his third
straight shutout O'Toole was lifted early
in his next outing.
Cincys only winner, Joey Jay held the
Yankees to four hits. He was pitching
stronger at the finish than at the start
Yesterday, as the Reds last hope, Joey gave
up as many hits and twice as many runs in
two-thirds of an inning as he did in the
entire first game.
The Reds deserve no cenSure. Whoever
thought this club, which had finished %
games back of the Pirates in &C., would
make it to the World Series? Before the
affair even got under way Rogers Hornsby
said in New York
Cincinnati is only the third, maybe
the fourth best team in the National
League. The Dodgers should have won as
easily as the Yankees" Maybe so, but they
didn't. Leave us not rap the Reds. They
we're the best in their league from April
to october. In the series they simply were
overmatched.
