u. N. spokesman said his or
ganization had no knowledge of
the troubles. U. N. troops were
withdrawn from part Of the
troubled area to reinforce the
U. N. army in Katanga.
A Swedish U. N. drive in the
north had frightened the mill
tary squeeze on Mr.. TShombe's
tottering movement to main
tain Katangan independence.
The Swedes occupied the rail
town of Kaniama yesterday
without a fight.
The thrust into Kaniama,
$50 miles northwest of Elisa
bethville, came as the U. N.
command was believed prepar-
ing an ultimatum to Mr..
Tshombe demanding that he
surrender his laSt-ditch strong
hold of Kolwezi without a fight.
TshOmbe Policy Denounced
U. N. headquarters in New
York denounced Mr.. Tshombe's s
scorched earth threats as reck-
less and irresponsible. A spokes-
man for Secretary General U
Thant said the U. N. will exert
every effort to prevent appli-
cation of such a policy.
Time Running Out
Although time appeared to be
running out for the Katanga
president. it was believed he still
had 10 days or so before the
U. N, force would be ready to
strike at Kolwezi from Jadot-
vile, about 80 miles to the
southeast. If he agrees to end
resistance, Mr.. Tshombe might
still wrest a position of power
for himself in a Katanga al
ready being absorbed into the
Congo by central government
administrators following in the
wake Of the U. N. armies.
In the meantime, the U. N
command may order its Ethi-
opian troops from Elisabethville
southeastward along the North
.ern RhodeSian border to re-
open vital road and rail links
with supply sources.
U. N. Undersecretary Ralph
Bunche said the southern
supply route is needed to supply

Sentials.

Historians disagree on wheth-
er the American forces or the

the Stoney Greek battle, but
most consider it a turning
point in the War Of 1912 which
led to the Rush-Bagot agree

pact restricting United States
and Canadian warships on the
Great Lakes.
This was one of the few
disarmament agreements in
history that worked" Mr.. Pear
son said. He said other nations
