UN Secretary Seeks To Shore Up Congo Peace LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo (UPI)--Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold put his personal diplomacy to work today to try to shore up the shaky United Nations peace operation in the Congo. Hammarskjold arranged to meet with Congolese President Joseph Kasavubu presumably to discuss the tense situation in Kivu Province whee follows of deposed Pemier Patrice Lumumba are harassing thousands of Europeans. But there were indications that Kasavulou would be cool to any U.N. plan to solve internal Congo problems. The president did not show up at the welcoming ceremoney when Hammarskjold arrived here Wednesday for a brief visit en route to South Africa whee he is expected Friday. Two platoons of U.N. Malayan troops with bayoneted rifles surrounded Hammarskjold’s helicopter when it landed at U.N. headquarters. Hammarskjold, who was met on his arrival by demonstrators demanding the immediate release of the imprisoned Lumumba, said he came to the Congo to meet with U.N. representatives hee ard also to see Kasavubu.

This was Hammaskjold's first visit to the Congo since last August. Then, the country had two governments and was in a state of chaos. Now, it has six different govemmenta and is even more chaotic in many ways. Seven Are Killed In Massachusetts Fire LYNN, Mass. (UPI)--A mother and seven children--six of them hers--perished in a house fire today. Ten other persons escaped the flames in the two-family house. Dead are Mrs. Ann Amerault and six of her seven children and the infant son of Mrs. Barbara Hollingsworth. The dead Amerault children are Michael, 8 or 9 years old, Shirley, Donna. Robert, Kathy and Barbara Donald Amerault, husband of the dead woman, tossed their youngest child, 4 months old, to safety from a second floor porch into the arms of a neighbor. Amerault and Mrs. Hollingsworth, his sister-in-law, were hospitalized with burns. The fire apparently broke out in the second floor and mushroomed through the attic. The first floor was only slightly damaged. Expect Labor Support For Kennedy Plan WASHINGTON (UPI)--The AFL-CIO high command was expected today to throw organized labor’s weight behind Pesidentelect John F. Kennedy’s fivepoint pogram of priority legislation. Members of the AFL-CIO’s Executive Council assembled for a special session to mobilize support from every AFL-CIO union for Kennedy’s immediate goals. Building trades leaders were reported somewhat miffed because Kennedy’s emphasis on a minimum wage hike, help for de-pressed-area, medical care for the aged under Social Secuity, aid to education and housing legislation omits immediate attention to thei pet project--a common sites picketing bill. But George Meany, AFL-CIO president and a strong backer of Kennedy during the politlcal campaign, appeared certain to win approval for his proposal to get behind the Kennedy program now. The 27-man council's decision was sure to emphasize Meany’s contention that the number one task before the nation is to put the unemployed back to work. Federal aid so school constuction, pogams to stimulate housing and assistance to economically distessed areas long have been advocated by the AFL-CIO, to pull the country from a recession.

MARY’S CATHOLIC CIVIC CLUB members, pictured above, are part of the group which attended Tuesday night’s session of the city council. From left to right are, front row, Becky Arriaga, Mary Mendoza, Elizabeth Rumschlag, Jane Tricker, and Judy Raudenbush; second row, Dan Durkin; third row, Teresa Miller, Alice Kummer, Margie Peterson, and Amalia Zamora. Miss Miller spoke for the group, and thanked the city council and other people of the city for their cooperation with the various projects of the club. Tom Foos then asked the council how they were chosen for their offices. Mayor Gage explained that every four years the two political parties nominate five men for the city council. The city is divided into four councilmanic districts, and four candidate of each party must be chosen who live in their respective district. A fifth is chosen “at large,” or from any part of the city. While they must live in a certain section of the city, the entire city votes for the officers. City attorney Robert S. Anderson then explained how the five members of the council each served on a number of three-man committees, which carry on most of the actual work of the council. In addition, the most important committee is the board of public works and safety, headed by the mayor, and including the city attorney and one councilman, Lawrence Kohne. This board operates like a board of directors, doing the ordinary city business. But its action, especially in the spendi money, is subject to the approval of the city council. Following the meeting the group got the autographs of the city officials, and during the meeting several pictures were taken.

Logansport Man Is Acting ABC Head INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)--Gov.-elect Matthew E. Welsh today named Gerald R. Hershberger, 50, Logansport, as acting chairman of the Indiana Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Hershberger, currently in private business at Logansport, replaces Leo Connell, Connersville, also a Democrat, as an ABC member. He served in the House of the 1959 Indiana Legislature as a representative from Cass County and is a member of the Legislative

Advisory Commission sub-commit-tee on local law enforcement. Hershberger was Cass County Democratic chairman for six years in the 1950s and his wife, Flora, is 2nd District Democratic vice chairman.

Dillin already has announced committee chairmen. Contest Victory? There also was an outside possibility that Republicans would carry out their threat to contest the victory of Gov.-elect Mathew E. Welsh on he basis of alleged vote irregularities in three counties. Most realistic lawmakers, however, gave the plan little chance of success. A contested election would be decided by a joint com-

mittee made up of seven House members and seven from the Senate. Since Democrats control the Senate and Republicans the House a vote deadlock would be almost a certainty. The opening day session was expected to be brief. Daily sessions the first two wedks usually run only until noon to give legislators time to attend committee meetings where the real business of law-making takes place. Introduction of bills was expected to come at a fast and furious pace. In the 1959 session, 1,020 bills were introduced in both houses and 399 eventually were enacted into law. Early indications were that bills may be tossed into the hopper at a record rate this session. The Legislative Bureau, which prepares bills for lawmakers, said nearly 400 bills are ready to be introduced and one veteran bureau official said they “never had so many this early.” Other bills will be introduced by the Welsh administration and yet others by individual lawmakers. The budget appeared to be the knottiest problem as legislators seek to keep expenditures to a minimum and still provide the necessary government services. Many Secondary Bills About two dozen bills dealing with schools, taxation, reapportionment, labor legislation and farm problems also were expected to cause some headaches. “Secondary” bills were a dime a dozen. Already prepared, for example, were measures which would outlaw booby traps, require, the fingerprinting of all corpses, vorced persons from remarrying for a year and require the Motor Vehicle Bureau
