Despite the controversy over
the value of fallout shelters
there is complete agreement
among the experts on one fact
The vastly expanded civil de-
fense program of the Kennedy
administration will affect the
life and outlook of almost every
American.
The Presidents requests for
civil defense money already
totals more than 81 billion. This
is only the start. So the cost
alone of shelter building will
affect every taxpayer.
Many persons will be trained
in survival techniques and some
will have their own home shell

downtown buildings will have
fallout shelters marked with a
conspicuous black and yellow

for more than 6 million. In a
Connecticut district, 191 peo-

In Iowa, one legislator had

133,157. More or less compa-
rable extremes could be cited

Address. Poge d.

Eighteenth century solutions

customed to a diet of history
and States rights.
To those who continually talk
of the integrity of Virginia
government, he said that in
tegrity means more than keep
ing ones hand out of the Of
ficial till.
On Government Growth
And the ever-popular South
ern theme about Government
continually getting bigger did
not escape his attention. Gov
ernment today is necessarily
bigger than it was in Thomas
Jefferson's time when people
rode horses and Travelled log
roads, he continued.
He pledged to strive for a
preservation of Virginia SOW
ereignty-but he added:
Il would serve you poorly if
I did not acknowledge, can
didly and realistically, that in
their application, historic prin-
ciples nf States rights cannot

cific problems of our own day"
He said he hoped Virginia
would always stand on the old
principles, but would hope to
see us avoid the folly of seeking
always to apply them in the
old ways"

Congo Army Bait les
Gizenga's S Forces
U..N. Reports
II Killed in
Outbreak

LEOPOLDVILLE, The Con-
go, Jan. 13 (AP) Fighting
Ierupted in Stanleyville today
between the Congo army and
the forces of leftist Antoine
Gizenga.
A United Nations spokesman
said II soldiers were killed in
the outbreak-eight on the Gil
zenga side, six on the side of
Gen. Victor Lundula, the gov
ernment commander in the
Oriental Province capital, and
three more Gizenga men ap-
parently when they attempted
to desert to Gen. Lundula.
The fighting brought orders
from the Congo government
that apparently set the stage
for a military showdown with
defiant Deputy Premier Gizen-
ga.
Premier Cyrille Adoula's
cabinet in Leopoldville ordered
Gen. Lundula to take all nee
essary steps to restore order"
after Mr.. Gizenga was said to
have attempted to leave STAN
leyville earlier in the day.
U. N. Backs LunduIa
Gen. Lundula's troops pre-
vented his leaving, the reports
said, and Mr.. Gizenga's men
then attempted to arrest Gen.
Lundula but were prevented by
the larger Lundula force. Gen.
Lundula was reported to have
arrested four Gizenga aides.
A U. N. spokesman expressed
the world body's full support
to Gen. Lundula in efforts to
quell the Gizenga forces.
i GA spokesman at U. N. head
quarters in New York said Act
ing Secretary General U Thant
issued instructions to U. NJ
forces in the Congo to exert
all possible efforts to restore
'Iand maintain law and order in
SUanleyville and to avert civil
war there" The spokesman said
Mr.. Thant issued his order after
receiving a request from the
central government
Mr.. Gizenga was reported to
have only a company of about
200 men in his bodyguard sur
rounding his residence at STAN
.leyville.
Gen. Lundula, the former
Congo army chief under Patrice
Lumumba, was reported to have
a larger force of about a bat
talon in Stanleyville.
Arrest Orders Denied
The United Nations also has
a battalion of Ethiopians in
Stanleyville, and has another
battalion that could be sent in.
| Mr.. Adoula denied earlier re-
ports from authoritative sources
that the cabinet had ordered
Gem Lundula to arrest Mr..
Gizenga.
The denial was taken with a
grain of salt by some diplomats
here, after government sources
said Gen. Lundula might de-
eide that the best way to carry
out his orders to restore order
would be to place the leftist
leader under arrest.
MIR. Adoula, In making his
denial, said the question of an
arrest had not been discussed
by the cabinet because Mr..
Gizenga still has parliamentary
immunity.

Congress Shift
Control

Commissioner
Authority to Get

BY GRACE BASSETT

A study of whether Congress
could grant the District Com
missioners blanket authority to
run the capital city has been
initiated in the Senate.
The inquiry is aimed at free
ing Congress from housekeep-
ing chores. Congress would
maintain ultimate authority
over the local government.
Such a shift could vest in the
Presidentially appointed Com
missioners powers as broad as
those proposed in home rule"
legislation for popularly elected
city councilmen. President Ken
nedy has urged passage of q
bill setting up a council OF
seven members and a mayor
for the District.
A concern among officials
loyal to the Administration
that the study might grow into
an argument against home rule
has kept the inquiry quiet and
sloW-paced.
Home rule was not a factor
when the investigation was
requested. however.
