Congo Rampage

There Is no reason to doubt that
last weeks savage attack on whites by
regular Congolese troops in Kasai Prov
tnce Is embarrassing to the central
Congolese government in Leopoldville.
1t also should be, and probably is, en-
barrasSing to the United Nations con-

trated" because they had been driven
back in an attempted invasion of Noise

guilty ones apparently have been appre-

Certainly the central government

Katanga, the U. N. command surely has
no business giving any support or en-
couragement to the invaders" Yet the
available information indicates that the
U. N command is using its resources,
or at least its Jet planes, to prevent
, Katanga from bombing the launching
. sites for these so-called invaders.
There may be much to criticize in
the performance of Noise Tshombe and
the Belgians who presumably are ad-
vising him. Still, the Katanga Premier's
orientation is toward the West, and he
certainly cannot be condemned for re-
sisting any attempt at invasion of his

civilized troops of the central Congolese
government. The stated mission Of the

At the goth Congress Of
the Soviet Communist Party
in 1855 KhruShchev accused
Stain In the words of your
recent editorial, Of being "a
supremely evil man, a despot
gone berserk with power, a
pyschopath of the worst kind,
who resorted unreStrainedly
to lies. plots. counter-plots,
torture, blood purges, cruel
oppression and mass murder"
Now, five years later, because
Of Stains abuse of power
mass persecution Of honest
Soviet people and other ac-
tionS stemming from the
personality cult" the 22d
Soviet Party Congress resolves
to remove Stalin's body from
the tomb on Red Square.
This resolution cannot but
condemn also all those par
ticipating so lavishly in
Stalin'S adulation during his
life time. 1t strikes not only
the present masters Of the
Kremlin - former faithful
comrades-in-arms of Stain
but everyone else who ex-
celled in this cult, not ex-
cepting the leaders Of the
Orthodox Church.
Before the debunking of
Stain, Russian Orthodox
Church leaders referred to
this resolute atheist and en- ,
emy Of religion as the God
given" or "God-appointed
leader Of the Soviet people.
In the words of Metropolitan
Nikolay. believers together
with all the nations recognize
our leader as the greatest
man among those brought
forth by our country as
the incarnation Of all that is

represents the sacred heritage
OF the Russian nation . :, who
possesses ardent love of his
homeland and nation, the
deepest wisdom, manly and
unbending force and the
heart of q father-all this

In appealing to believers to
pray for Stain, referred to

Of God and appointed to lead
our fatherland along the road
Of prosperity and glory" After

spicuous apathy toward the

about the group of parents

peared before the Montgom-
cry County Council on Oc-
tober 81 in support of a pro-
posal to improve Kendale

shocking to me and unkind
to some of the dwellers in

tates surrounding the area to
oppose this project. The view
from the outside is quite diff

wondering how exactly these
opposing parents would react

foot. Perhaps the pain of
sacrificing a little Of ones
property won't hurt nearly as
much II one thinks of it in
terms of specific devotion to
the welfare of our handi-

My sympathy extends
across the river to the par
ents whose children do not
fit into a public school pro-

serious problems enough. plus
the added burden of trans

kinds Of bombs and missiles.
Gov. Rockefeller's message
has gone to q Republican Leg
lature. But his appeal was for
non-partisan action. He got
it. For on October Is the New
York Defense Council, which
includes the legislative lead
ers of the Democrats as well
as the Republicans, unani-
mouSly recommended the i'm
mediate adoption by the State
Of "a comprehensive survival
and recovery program"
Seeks to Rule World
In his message. the Cover
nor said: "It Is clear from
the record that international
communism is pursuing a
fixed design to dominate the
world and cannot be trusted
to abstain from nuclear at
tack in furthering this de-
sign" The constant refusal of
the Russian Communists to
agree to our proposals for a
system Of inspection in a
treaty for the abandonment
OF further development Of
nuclear weapons. and for
their ultimate elimination,
clearly sustains the Cover
nor's statement. He pointed
out that the American people
are determined, at whatever
cost, to protect their way Of
life and human freedom in
the face of any threat.
Gov. Rockefeller made the
following points: I'VE can
survive an all-out nuclear
attack If We develop the
necessary shelter protection
for the population; 2. We can
recover from such an attack
and rebuild our way Of life
If we make realistic prepa-
rations now for postattack
rehabilitation: 8. Such pro-
lection and preparation for
recovery are feasible and
within our means as a people,
a State and a Nation; 4.
Development Of a program
for survival and recovery is
In itself a major deterrent
to enemy attack. supports our
resistance to nuclear black
mail. increases our military
and negotiating strength and
helps to preserve peace and
freedom. We have Just been
subjected to such blackmail-
ing tactics by Nikita Khru-
shchev'S series Of nuclear ex-
plosions and tests, with
their greatly increased radi-
alton fallout.
The Rockefeller program
proposes to encourage and
assist private individuals to
build shelters; to encourage
landlords and employers to
provide fallout protection for
their tenants and employees
and to provide 500 million
to build fallout shelters Mt
schools and colleges and uni
verSities ito protect our
school children and our young
men and women in whom
lie our hopes and aspirations

THE POLITICAL MILL
Rockefeller Boosts Civil Defense
BY GOULD LINCOLN

Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
Of New York has taken the
civil defense bull by the
horns, calling upon o special
session Of the State Legisla-
ture to write into law . COM
prehensive program looking
to eventual fallout shelters
for every citizen Of the State.
The Legislature Immediately
enacted the legislation. More
than q year ago. the Cover
nor advanced the idea that
such a program for New York
and for other States of the
Union to follow New York's
example-Should be under
taken without delay. At that
time the urgency Of the stu
alton and the need for such
protection in case a nuclear
war developed with the
Communist nations had not
been brought so strongly
home to the American people.
The attitude of many of
them-when the suggestion
Of nuclear attack upon the
United States was made
was: $50 what!" In recent
months, with war threatening
over the Berlin problem. over
Laos and South Wet Nam and
other parts of the world, the
attitude has changed great
ly. Now 1t has become q ques-
ton whether the Federal
Government should step in
and help do the job of the
construction of shelters, both
against nuclear explosions
and against the consequent
fallout of poisonous radio
active material.
President Kennedy on Oc-
tober 16 described the protec-
ton Of all Americans from
fallout as a national goal.
Frank B. Ellis, appointed by
the President early this year
to take charge of Civil De-
tense, now placed in the
Department Of Defense, has
been an earnest advocate Of
such a program. So has

The Federal Government may
be expected to deal with this
problem when Congress con-

President. who already has
brought about an increase
in the funds requested for
civil defense.
Military Necessity
AS war is made today, the
defense Of the civil popu-
lation Of the Nation has real
ly become a military neces-
sity. For the military must
look to the civilians for the
supplies necessary to conduct
a war. In this sense, civilian
defense has become almost a
misnomer-rather it is a part
OF the whole program of
national defense. Further, it
Is necessary to the survival
Of the American people, or
millions Of them, in the event
Communist Russia should
launch q nuclear attack. And
further still. adequate civilian
defense will act as a deterrent
