The Inflated DC-7B airliner

The tail hit the ground, then

hurled outside, still strapped to

To See AdOuIa
Mr.. Gardiner will spend the
week end in London and reach
Leopoldville Monday to confer
with Central Congolese Pre-
mier Cyrille Adoula.
An authoritative source said
his eventual object was to
get Katangan President Noise
Tshombe to end, the secession
along the lines Of Mr.. Thant's
August 20 plan for reunifying
the Congo. \
But he said a key to this was
to induce Mr.. Adoula and Mr..
Tshombe to agree to split up
the money coming from Union
Miniere, big company that
mines copper and cobalt in
Katanga.
Union Miniere earns about
1920 million a year in foreign
currency and pays almost $50
million Of this to Katanga in
export taxes, thus sustaining
the secession.
Mr.. Thant's plan provides for
a $3.50 split of Katanga's for
eign currency reserves and ex-
port revenue with the central
government.
,.-. Mr.. TshOmbe Balks
But Mr.. Tshombe has baked.
One of his arguments is that
Union Miniere itself needs a
large part Of the foreign cur
rency to pay for spare parts,
diesel oil and other things nee
essary to keep its mines and
smelter going, and the Thant
plan would not guarantee it
this.
The new idea,. the authorita-
tive source said, Is that Mr..
Adoula and Mr.. Tsh ON b e
should agree that experts of
the International Monetary
Fund should decide arbitrarily
what percentages of the foreign
exchange reserves and export
taxes should go to the central
government and to Katanga,
respectively.
Union Miniere has agreed to
abide by the arbitration of
these experts, he said, provided
Mr.. Adoula and Mr.. Tshombe
agree to do So.

of the Eastern Air Lines DC7B

Just two weeks ago he had

Capt. Bechtold, 40, also was

Two years ago, after an

Algerian Loss
OF Data Held
Catastrophe

PARIS. Dec. l (AP).-The
Algerian administration was
left by the French in such
catastrophe shape" that it
will take six months to find out
how the county stands, Alge-
rian Foreign Minister Moham-
med Khemisti said today.
He made the statement to
the French Diplomatic Press
Association. In Paris to nego-
tiate French aid, the 28-year-
old foreign minister said the
destruction of nearly all Off
cial records by the European
Secret Army Organization
forced the new administration
to start almost from scratch.
Rough Estimate
Only a rough estimate can
be made now, he said, Of next
years income from taxes and
other sources. The estimate
varied between $240 million
and $440 million.
Mr.. Khemisti said techni-
clans are one of the most
pressing needs, and he ex-
pressed hope France will fur
nish more trained personnel.
Cooperation in the techni-
cal field is an illusion without
technicians," he said.
Most of the country's Euro
peans, virtually the only pool
Of skilled personnel, fled the
country in panic shortly be-
fore and after independence
in July. More Europeans are
leaving daily.s De-
2 Million Unemployed
The problem of about 2
million unemployed has been
compounded by efforts to re-
turn some 2 million former
refugees and internment camp
inmates to a normal life, Mr..
Khemisti said. He blamed the
unemployment on "the deliber-
ate sabotage of the economy"
by the Europeans.
On future private invest
ments in Algeria, he said a
private sector would be re-
served for industrialization. He
said the october 7 deadline for
Europeans to occupy or reopen
their lodgings or businesses
could be extended in some
cases. Otherwise the govern
ment has requisitioned them
for Algerian use.
