Congo Is Training
Civil Service


July % (AP).-The Congolese
Minister Of Interior had to take
two hours out Of his own work.
ing day to deliver an envelope
to another government office.
There were no messengers who
knew where the office was.
Government ministers open
their own mail - everything
from diplomatic notes to cleo
trio bills. They cannot rely on
secretaries or assistants to sort
out important papers for their
personal attention.
Individual citizens with griev-
ances think nothing of tele-
phoning a minister. Frequently
ministers have to answer their
own telephones.
A European political Scien-
fist studying the Congo's anna
teur civil service came up with
a conclusion which helps ex-
plain the confusion in Congo
lese politics:
mo Congolese minister can
give any order-no matter how
important or trivial-and be
certain his own staff will carry

Belgians Forced Out
Training Of future civil Serv.
ants is one Of the most con-
structive United States efforts
in helping the Congolese.
The problem became acute
when anti Belgian feelings
forced the withdrawal Of thou

tors who we're to have tided

transition period.
The National School Of Law
and Administration was Off
cially established December %,
1860. Today it is spearheading
a social revolution.
The first hundred or so grad
yates will be available for gov
eminent service in 1864. About
200 students are being admitted
on scholarships each year, aft
er finishing secondary schools
Entrance applications exceed
available places fourfold.
Diplomatic Training
An extension department has
been opened for the unschooled
wives of students, to draw them
into the world Of government
and diplomacy they will have
to accept as wives Of high Of
ficialS.
Two days a week about &C
gaily robed CongoleSe women
many of them with babie:
snoozing on their backs, come
for lessons in domestic science

golese women speak tribal Ian
guages.
So far the government ha:
contributed $250,000 to get the
school going, a sum approx
mately matched by the U. N
and the Ford Foundation. The
yearly budget is for 100000.
Students take basic courses II

Kassem Defies
Threats, Holds
lrdq Controls
Strongmon Keeps
IsrueIis, Arabs,
Oilmen at Boy


In sweltering Iraq, diplomats
mop their brows and wonder
how long Strongman Abdel
Karin Kassem can defy politi-
cal gravity and maintain con-
troll Of this historic land that
sweeps up from the Persian
Gulf.
With guns or words, Mr.. Kas-
sem is fighting a Kurdish re-
volt, imperialism, the Arab
League, the Western-owned Iraq
Petroleum Co., Kuwait, Egypt's
President NaSSer and Israel.
Four years ago Mr.. Kassem
overthrow King Feisal and
turned street mobs loose to dis
member Premier Nuri es Said.
Now his uneven smile CLEANS
from portraits everywhere. A
visitor counted 10 in Mr.. Kas-
SENS own reception room.
He drives through the streets
in a bullet-proof sand-yellow
Cadillac. Increasingly he de-
ponds on police state measures
at home and Moscow abroad.
He caters to his army with
housing schemes and Moscow
weapons.
Tries Land Reform
He has tried to WOO the peas
ants with land reform-but the
scheme is only beginning to
feebly right itself after two
years. Actual farm income has
dropped and Iraq buys wheat
abroad.
It is accepted in Baghdad-I
despite Mr.. Kassem's frequent
contrary claims-that rebelling
Kurds control much of the
countryside in the north. No
travel permits are issued for
that area.
His claims against Kuwait in
the south have alienated other
Arab states and caused him to
ask the recall of United States
Ambassador John Jernegan
after Washington recognized
Kuwait's independence. Similar
moves threaten to worSen IraQ's
world standing. Mr.. Kassem
shows no sign of caring.
Although the police state re-
gime makes the population
FESTIVE, economic problems are
likely to prove more trouble
some in the long run. In con-
centrating on survival, Mr..
Kassem has allowed the econ
omy to stagnate, despite q
massive income from oil.
Initiation is creeping in and
the cost Of living is going up.
In Debt I'd Russians
The Soviet bloc has given
him about $3.50 million in cred
its for his five-year industrial
plan, ending in 1866. 1t in
cludeS factories that will help
the economy marginally while
committing Mr.. Kassem to
Moscow for spare parts, tech
hicians and further financing.
He must also pay back to
Moscow some $500 million in
military credits-for which he
has received a vast stock Of
tanks, trucks and artillery plus
a jet air force that lacks the
NIGH President Nasser has.
Mr.. Kassem leans heavily on
$3.50 million he receives annu-
ally in oil revenues. This sum
also must serve his domestic
economy and help pay the
$100-million defense budget at
home.
This is one reason Mr.. Kas-
sem is trying to pressure the
Iraq Petroleum Co. into raising
payments, and why he also
wants the oil-rich kingdom of
Kuwait.
The Russians are not above
using these ambitions to
tighten their grip on Mr.. Kas-
sem. The Baghdad press is
under ironclad instructions to
say nothing that might pos
Sibly offend Moscow.

Reader Suggests q Family Theoter

On the quite simple, practical 'front.' it is difficult to
find wholesome movies that boy take his date to
see that the whole family enjoy. And when
you do one down sometimes driving to distant
suburb in the cause) you likely to provide captive
audience for the most seductive from coming

One of our readers, Mrs. Jeanne johnson, has made
suggestion which would prove blessing to countless
parents, if it could materiaze:
Perhaps the best way to combat such a huge prob
lem is to offer something in place of -or better. Why
not organize theater which WILL show only the kind
OF pictures want youngsters to see? The prices
could be moderate but the patronage should be terrific
people realized that here they would get only good
decent films at all times without Objectionable previews
they would send their children there What's more
of people who have quit going to movies in disgust.
would become fans again."
The idea has merit All it needs is a rich promoter!
But decency does pay. Walt Disney, who has never
stopped to smut could buy and sell most of the studios
who justify their excuses by claiming they've got to
compete with TV."
Parents have got to compete with Tv, too. And
movies and books And the lives and souls and character
OF cur children are precious to u.s. no matter what
some people say!

past, Mr.. Moynihan COM
mented:
Considerable Change
"a very considerable change
has taken place. The asSocia-

with functionalism and eff
cheney is helping in this respect
as is the increasing acceptance
generally of contemporary de-
sign.
LAS far as the administration
and the President are con-
cerned, they are interested in
doing what is right and what
is in line with the finest con-
temporary American thought. +"
Mr.. Moynihan is secretary
to a Cabinet Committee on
Federal Office Space, which
has been studying development
of an architectural policy for
the Federal Government.
