ELISABETHVILLE, Katanga,
June 20 (AP) Noise
Tshombe declared in the Ma
tional Assembly today that
,Katanga will remain indepen-
dent from the rest of the Congo
"at all cost"
This represented a sharp
reversal from his promises to
the central government in Leo
poldville. When he was released
last week, he pledged co-opera-
tion with Leopoldville's leaders.
who want to bring Katanga
back into the nation for the tax
revenues Of its rich mines.
Mr.. Tshombe had been under
arrest in Leopoldville for two
months. It was believed that
his release was contingent on
an agreement to cooperate
with the rest Of the Congo and
bring his army under central
control. But there was wide
spread skepticiSm that he would
retract this promise upon his
return to Elisabethville. This
appeared to be confirmed by
his speech today.
1--WE shall defend an inde-
pendent Katanga at all cost
and will do everything to main
tain our nation in the face of
all opposition" he said.
Interior Minister Godefroid
Munongo told the Assembly
the government will work on
the the lines of resolutions
passed at the Tananarive con-
ference in March. At that
time Congolese politicians, un-
der Mr.. Tshombe'S leadership,
drafted agreements for a loose
federation of Congolese prov
inces. Later they went back
on this and followed the closer
union proposed by Congolese
President Joseph KaSavubu.

Council Can't
Give Judges
Pay Raise

The County Council lacks au-
thority to pass legislation in
creasing the county's share Of
the salaries paid Circuit Court
judges, according to County At
torney Alfred H. Carter.
The opinion was given the
Council Tuesday in response to
a suggestion that the county up
its share of the salaries from
$4,000 to $1,000 for each judge.
The jurists now get a total
of .$19,500 annually, of which
the State pays $4,000. The pro-
posed county increase would
have raised their pay to S22,500
the same as that for Balti-
more County judges.
Carter emphasized that only
the General Assembly has the
power to authorize chartered
counties, such as Montgomery,
to supplement the salaries of
Circuit Court judges.
In other business, the Coun-
Gil:
l. Approved the appointment
OF Ralph w. Offutt as chief
deputy sheriff at an annual sal
airy Of $4974.84 to succeed Law
renee H. Price, whose retire
ment takes effect June /.
2. Agreed to seek a coming
amendment broadening the
powers of the Board of Appeals
to take action against those who
fail to comply with conditions
of permits granted by the

To Meet
On Trash
Session Set May Is
On Refuse Disposal

The knotty problem Of
when and how the county
should take over refuse col
lection and disposal will be
discussed at a joint meeting
May Is of the County Council
and the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission.
Principal item to be taken up
at the session at 8 pm, in the
County Building in Rockville is
a consulting engineering firms
report on the county's refuse
disposal and collection needs.
The report, submitted last
month by Metcalf and Eddy, of
Boston, recommended:
/. The County government
should assume full responsible.
ity for the disposal of all refuse
in the county.
2. The county should build its
own incinerator on the portion
of the county farm lying east of
Route 70-S near Rockville.
3. AS soon as the incinerator
is ready for service, the county
should assume responsibility for
collecting refuse on a county
wide basis. The collection it.
self should be provided by pri-
vate firms under contract to the
county.
At present, the Sanitary Com
mission collects refuse only in
the suburban area of the county
and operates an incinerator in
Lyttonsville, near Silver Spring.
Other disposal facilities are
available at a county-operated
landfill in Rockville, but this
area viii be used up in about
a year, according to the report.
Council members, in a state
ment at their Tuesday meeting,
pointed out that 22S,000 is pro-
vided in the 1862 budget to
permit the Council to take steps
toward "a designing an incin-
orator if the report is adopted,
or ~ buying additional dis
posal sites il the county heads
decided to continue disposal by
landfill.
In any event, the Council
promised ample opportunity for
public comment before final ac-
ton is taken.

In other business, the council
heard arguments on its own ap-
plication to amend the Zoning
Ordinance to require off-street
parking for two vehicles in r.
rs, ROO, RS and RE residen-
tial zones.
Builder Monroe Warren told
the council, Solving it this way
is the wrong end of the thing"
He proposed the council con-
slider selling special permits to
residents parking on public
property, encouraging them to
invest in off-street parking.
Warren said money collected
from permits might go into a
pool to help finance such pri-
yate parking.
Record on the application was
left open for 10 days for addi-
ticnal citizen comment.
The council decided to install
floodlights around the doll

grounds following several in
stances Of break-ins and van6al
ism.
A petition for annexation OF
the Bou property was denied
by the council on the grounds
that it is outside maximum ex
pansion limits defined In the

Complete Plan
On Libraries,
Says Council
Delay Prevents
More Facilities

The County Council this
week prodded the Park and
Planning Commission to
complete it's Master Plan of
Libraries to clear the way
for badly needed additional
library facilities.
In a statement at their meet
ing Tuesday, the county heads
made 1t clear that they want
the master plan for guidance
before proceeding with any
further library construction.
Accordingly, they instructed
County Manager Mason A.
Butcher to get in touch with the
planning agency to request its
early completion.
The Council recalled that such
plan covering both Montgom-
cry and Prince Georges Coun-
ties was started sometime ago
by the Commission and that a
preliminary report has been
issued.
IF a suitable bi-county plan
cannot be promptly completed,
the Council wishes to have the
plan for Montgomery County
accelerated" the county heads
emphasized.
Two of the most pressing
library problems facing the
county, the Council said, are
new library in the North
Bethesda area and a new admin
istrative headquarters for the
Department of Public Libraries
TO be located In the North
Bethesda Library building.
The North Bethesda Library
has been authorized in the 1861
2 budget, but this win not meet
all of the library needs in the
Bethesda area, the Council con-
ceded.
AS result, the county heads
said, they have directed the
county manager to explore pos
sible solutions to this critical
problem.
One possible alternative, they
said, is construction of
Bethesda regional library east
of Wisconsin ave.
At any rate, Council members
added, I'VE are unanimous in
our resolve to improve library
service in the Bethesda area.
We are confident that a salts
factory solution based on sound
long range planning can be
identified within the next fiscal
year"
