Africa Seen on Way
To Strong Economy

Q. But If you are in the po-
sition of suppressing it, this
isn't very democratic, is it?
A. Well, I think there are
two ways to look at this. While
you believe in the freedom OF
speech. I don't see any neces-
sity of going out of your way
to do something for somebody
who is trying to, I think, dc
something against the peace OF
the world.

ment on what Senator Ellender
said recently, that so far as
he understands it, no African
people is ready for self-govern-
A. Well, after two years in
this office, I know better than
fitting with Senators. I think
the African countries have been
most fortunate in having a
leadership which has kept most
of them in a peaceful condi-
ton, and has started them on
the way to nation-building, eco
nomically. I think it is true

Soviet Seen Pushing
Activities in COMO

@. In the meantime, at what
level would you anticipate the
United States would have to
contribute or like to contrib
ute2 First of all, what are we
spending now2
A. In the last two years we
have put in something over
500 million. The Congo, like
other parts Of Africa, has tre-
mendous needs, and we could
continue to put in the same
amount, but in different opera
tions. This would get the Congo
back on its feet much more
rapidly. The Belgians have al
ways promised that once there
was re-integration they would
step up their aid and business,
and I would hope that their
input would permit the United
States to cut down the amount
that is is giving.
@. At the Nassau meeting
three weeks ago between Presi-
dent Kennedy and Prime
Minister Macmillan, we made a
major point out Of the threat
Of Soviet interference in the
Congo. What evidence do we
have that this threat exists?
A. The first evidence, I would
say. is the fact that the So
viets play in troubled waters
in any part of the world. This
theoretical analysis is REIN
forced by the fact that at an
earlier time in Congo history
the Russians refused to go
along with the idea Of work.
ing through the U. N. They
actually had a number of
planes. a great number of
trucks, and several hundred
technicians in on a bilateral
basis and not under the u. N.
More recently, it is common
knowledge that in the Congo
the new Soviet Ambassador has
been talking in this wise: why
don't you fellows get rid of
the U. NJ, and within a couple
OF months we will give you
the means TO re-integrate the
Katanga by yourselves2" Then
there is other evidence that
they have spoken more di-
rectly with the Congolese mill
tary.
q. A lot of people don't un-
derstand what there is about
the Congo situation that is a
threat TO the United States
national security. Why is thatp
A. I think we are beginning
10 learn more and more every

is based on the doctrine of ma
jority rule in the final analysis.
This is the way free men ex-
press themselves. The Katanga
is only one tenth of the entire
Congo, and only a half of the
Katanga opted for secession.
So when you look at the ex-
preston of the will of the peo-
pie of the Congo as a whole,
they were for an integrated
Congo, 1t is just a matter of a
small minority not leading the
majority by the nose.
Q. Why has the State De-
partment moved to deport Mi
chael Struelens, the head of
the Katanga Information Of
flee, who says he wants to keep
the United States from block
ing Katangan independence?
A. I think that the State De-
partment has been very lenient
with Mr.. Struelens. Mr.. Struel-
ems came in under one type of
visa and proceeded to operate
in a manner inconsistent with
that visa. His period of stay has
run out. There has not been
any abnormal action here. It
has just been a refusal of his
request for permanent resi-
dence status. Prior to this, Mr.
Struelens has operated as a pro-
ponent of q government that
we don't recognize, against the
government that we do recog-
nize. We felt that his opera
tions were not helpful to the
program that we had with the
United Nations in trying to get
a resolution of peace in the
Congo.
@. Do you object to his put
ting out information on the Ka-
tanga position?
A. The problem here is not
one of his putting out infor-
nation, but rather of his illegal
presence in the United States

ON LIE RECORD-G Mennen Williams ....
Interview Probes U. S. Role in Africa

FOLLOWING is the transcript
OF an ON THE RECORD in
terUietD NTH G. Mennen VIII
humS, Assistant Secretary OF
State for African Affairs.
@. Gov. Williams, what is the
outlook for a unified Congo
and how can the United Ma
tions insure that Katanga, once
in, will not again Secede?
A. The outlook at present is
better than it has been at any
previous time. I think that the
best we can hope for is that
some time in the immediate fu-
ture, after the settlement, we
can permit the U. N. to with
draw the major part Of its
troops.
The problem of helping this
new nation develop its admin
istration will last for q period
longer, and the whole problem
Of helping the economic re-
integration and nation-building
will take two or three years
more, anyhow. The basic prob
lem, as you we'll know, is that
this country became independ-
ent without having had pre-
vious experience in self-govern-
ment, with 20 or "a college
graduates. 1t has been a prob
lem of picking themselves up
by their bootstraps.
@. Do you think that Noise
Tshombe can ever become an
effective part Of the Adoula
government, or is he through
and should he leave the Congo?
A. This is a very acute ques-
ton at the present moment.
Mr.. Adoula has indicated that
he would take back Mr..
Tshombe, and to try and work
with him, to give either him
or some Of his representatives
a position in the Central gov
ernment. Mr.. Tshombe's ambi-
valent position of coming back
to carry out the u Thant plan
and the next minute saying he
is going to blow the whole
place up makes it very difficult
to know how to receive him
as a member of government or
as criminal.
In the Congo all things are
possible, it seems, and they
have in the past healed up
many breaches. 1t is my own
feeling, however, that 1t would
be very difficult for Mr..
Tshombe to acquire a position
of over = all Congolese lead
ership.
do think that he could play
an important role in his own
area and perhaps have an in
direct influence if between now
and the time that they consul
mate refrigeration he doesn't
utterly destroy his image by
these wild statements about
Kolwezi or even causing some
considerable damage which
could only rebound to the sor-
row Of the area by causing un-
employment and all Of that.

WILLIAMS
U.N. Moves in Congo
Called Barrier to Reds

Louisiana, that no African ma
tion Is ready for self-govern-
ment, Mr.. Williams said "it is
true that the veneer of leader
ship is unfortunately rather
thin" because of years Of made
quate education, but "some OF
the leadership is of a very
high order. I think Africa
is going to prove to the world
it can govern itself"
PERSONAL PLANS - Asked
If he may return to Michigan,
where he was Governor for IL
years, to challenge Republican
Gov. George Romney in 1854
Mr.. Williams said this would
be something maybe the Presi-
dent would decide, but as OF
the moment, I am confident
have a special call here"
Evening star., 1963-01-13

that the veneer of leadership
is unfortunately rather thin,
because many of these countries
are 80 per cent illiterate, the
number Of college graduates is
very small, and the number Of
people in the secondary schools
isn't large enough.
So to have done as much as
they have is almost miraculous.
If you look at the character of
some of the leadership, you will
find that 1t is of a very high
order. ! think that Africa is
going to prove to the world
that it can govern itself, and
if the rest of the world con-
tinues to give it help, it is going
to be able to build its economy
so as to give its people a bet
ter standard of living.
@. Governor. you ran the
State of Michigan for u years
longer than any other single
Governor, and 1t is still hare
for some of us to think of you
as a diplomat and not as 6
Governor.
A. There are a lot Of people
who find it hard to think of me
as a diplomat, without any
reference to being Governor.
@. There have been some re-
ports that President Kennedy
would like you to run for Gov
ernor Of Michigan in 1864
when he will be seeking re-
election to the presidency. Are
you available?
@. This is a new thought to
me and maybe it is a new
thought to the President. At
least there hasn't been any
communication on it. I fee
that I have a mission here
Through a combination of Cir
cumstances I come fairly well
equipped at this period oi
American and African history
to do the job.
If the occasion would arise
where I would be most able tc
carry the Democratic banners
in Michigan, and it was more
important to work there than
in Africa, this would be some
thing maybe the President
would decide. But as of the
moment, / am confident I have
a special call here, and think
there are many able Demo-
cratic statesmen in Michigan
who could we'll carry the ban
ner against Mr.. Romney in
1864.

District bankers and credit
officials deny any intimation
that banks or department
stores are charging installment
interest rates that amount to
usury.
Complaints to this effect
were cited to the District Com
missioners yesterday in a let
ter from Senator Douglas, DEM
ocrat of Illinois. The letter was
transmitted to the corporation
counsels office for an opin-
ion on whether the charges are
higher than those permitted by
law.
Senator Douglas, chief spon-
sor in the Senate of various
truth in lending" bills, said
he had received several COM
plants during the last year
about lending practices in the
District. He enclosed a news
paper advertisement by a
Washington bank about which
he said:
"A little simple arithmetic
indicates that this bank is
charging around 16.5 per cent
interest on personal loans,
Other complaints that have
been brought to my attention
indicate that other commercial
banks in the District of Colum-
bia are charging anywhere
from IA to 18 per cent"
Pointing out that District
laws clearly specify that the
rate may not exceed 8 per cent,
Senator Douglas requested an
opinion as to whether the 16.5
per cent rate apparently
charged by the bank is in ex-
cess of the rate permitted by
law.
He also said he has received
complaints that department
stores are charging ~ to ia
per cent per year for credit
and asked an opinion as to the
legality of their rates.
Loan officials at several Dis
trict banks pointed out that
the apparent interest rates
cited In the complaints were
based on simple interest; that
is. a monthly calculation Of net
interest rate on a declining bal
ance.
Nearly all banks, the spokes-
men said. charge 6 per cent
on small personal loans. plus
an optional l per cent for life
insurance during the period OF
the loan. For loans above ST.
900. the interest rate drops.
The interest also is taken out
