Tshombe Says
He Will Resist

EL1SABETHVILLE, Katanga,
Mar. 3 (AP).-PreSident Noise
Tshombe warned today that his
troops will resist with "every
means possible" any attack in
North Katanga by Congolese
central government forces.
The United Nations, mean
while, confirmed the arrival of
fresh central government units
IN Albertville, the principal
town in North Katanga.
A U. N. spokesman claimed it
is not known whether these new
troops constituted a military
build-up or whether they were
replacing the central govern
ment garrison which has occu-
pied the city since late last
year.
The spokesman denied these
troops were flown to Albert
vile in U. N. planes and denied
the U. N. was helping the
central government to plan a
North Katanga offensive.
Mr.. Tshombe has accused
the Leopoldville authorities
with planning an attack on
three North Katanga towns of
Kongolo, Bulula and Kapcna.
He said eff it comes we will
resist to the utmost" Claim
ing everything is now peace

reoccupied by his troops, he

Steel Contract
Talks Collapse

PITTSBURGH, Mar. 8 (AP).
Steel labor talks have collapsed
in a stalemate but optimism
continued today that a strike
will be avoided.
Negotiators broke off more
than two weeks of bargaining
sessions last night but adj
mitted in statements they had
snapped offers without reach
ing a middle ground.
The facts seemed to indicate
the vast steel industry and the
steelworkers union, represent
ing some 100000 workers in
basic steel mills, had made a
good deal of progress while
failing to nail down a final
deal.
1t was reliably reported the
industry had offered wage and
other benefits worth 6 to 8
cents an hour, but the union
held out for a settlement pack
age more in the neighborhood
of 10 cents an hour.
This indicated a possibly
faster resumption of negotia-
tions than the May / day
mentioned by union president
David j. Mcdonald. It was
also believed likely the gov
eminent will prod the parties
toward a quicker get-together.
Secretary of Labor Goldberg
said in Washington that Presi-
dent Kennedy had asked him
to say that latter a suitable re-
cess it would be in the national
good for the parties to resume
negotiations to the end that a
reasonable settlement in the
public interest can be con-
cluded."
This was translated in Pitts
burgh to mean wait a little
while to cool off, boys, but don't
make it longer than a week or
So"
Mr.. Goldberg added:
THE immediate inability of
the parties to resolve their
differences is of course to be
regretted. 1t should be recog-
nized by all. however, that ne
gotiations of this type present
obvious difficulties"

PARIS. - The feeling in
European diplomatic quarters
is that Attorney General
Robert Kennedy may soon
play a far more important
role in the conduct of our
foreign affairs than the pro
fessors" who are at present
the Presidents policy-mak-
ing brain trust.
This impression followed
important talks between the
Presidents younger brother
and Europe's principal states
men, Chancellor Adenauer
and Gen. de Gaulle.
1t was evident to both these
personalities who dominate
the European political stage
that young Robert was on a
fact-finding mission to the
principal trouble centeys in
which we are involved-Viet
Nam, Indonesia, Germany
and France.
According to highly reli-
able sources with which your
reporter has talked, Chancel-
Tor Adenauer was impressed
with our young Attorney
General and talked with him
for nearly two hours. In an
effort to present to President
Kennedy the true situation
in Europe, he gave a complete
and frank appraisal of the
German and European situa-
ton. He pointed out to Robert
Kennedy that in the free
worlds struggle against the
Communist tide victory de-
ponds more on a genuine
understanding among the
United States, Germany and
France than on anything else.
Mr.. Adenauer is said to
have explained that after his
last summers visit to Wash
ington, he returned to Bonn

Kennedy's words although he
had to make some reserva-
lions about the thoughts ex-
pressed by some of the ad-
visers who attended the
White House meetings.

these would not be adequate

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 8. - A
$4,000-$6,000 minimum teacher
pay scale proposal pending be-

ate Finance Committee and the

In contrast to capacity
crowds in past years, the House
chamber was only half full OF

Legislative leaders said the
bill has only slim chance OF

were further affected after
the visit to Bonn of our for
mer High Commissioner to
Germany, John McCloy, who
intimated that too frequent
ly President Kennedy falls
under the spell of the "peda-
gogues" around him who con-
vince him that nothing but
co-existence with the Soviet
Union can bring peace in
our time. These heSitations of
Washington and the diff
ference between the Presi-
dents strong speeches and
the contradictory diplomatic
actions have caused doubts
in the minds of many Ger
man leaders and sometimes
even in that of the veteran
Chancellor whose strong faith
in the future course of the
United States has OCCASION
ally given room to soul
searching doubts. The con-
sequence of our vagaries was
a demand by many German
political leaders and influ-
entail newspapers not to
shut the door to direct con-
versations between Bonn and
Moscow.
The truth about these con-
verSationS, initiated by Pre-
mier Khrushchev himself-so
Mr.. Adenauer is reported to

is that Russia has offered
nothing which could make
Germany believe in the good
intentions Of the Soviet die
tator. The Soviets, contrary
to what has been published
in the past, still insist that
Germany formally renounce
any claim to the Oder-Neisse
line and recognize the Elbe
River as the permanent Dor
der, which means a de facto
recognition of the East Ger

insist that Germany agree to
a total nuclear disarmament
OF the German Federation
territory, which means the
removal of American nuclear
forces from West Germany.
In exchange, Russia is will
